“There are parents out there who are doing the best they can, but are working multiple jobs and can’t afford child care,” said Mulsow, of Texas Tech University in Lubbock. “What worries me is that those parents will think they cause their children to have ADHD. I don’t think that’s the case, and I don’t think those parents should feel bad.”

KUT Radio – Even if the Senate doesn’t act, the policy is likely to be overturned in the courts. Texas Tech law school professor Richard Rosen, who used to represent the military in challenges to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, says Congress should be the one to tackle the issue. “Congress is constitutionally entrusted for you know, making rules for the government and regulation of the military, so I hope that Congress would be the body that repeals the law,” said Rosen.

Tulsa World – Muskogee firm innovator in wind-power business

A Muskogee-based wind-tower company will partner with a national renewable energy nonprofit and Texas Tech University to research, improve and commercialize a unique flange ring to connect sections of turbine towers.
Eagle Claw Fabrication LLC and the National Institute for Renewable Energy announced the research deal with Texas Tech this week. The Lubbock university will perform validation testing for Eagle Claw’s patent-pending Talon flange, which is used in bolting together sections of large wind towers.
The Talon flange was developed by Eagle Claw founders Tom Word and Cecil Hartman. The device eliminates vibration in operating wind turbines, a flaw that can led to performance failures, according to reports.
The joint venture with NIRE aims to eventually market the flange once the research, which begins early next year, is completed.
Eagle Claw also plans to begin construction in 2011 on its $28 million tower manufacturing plant at the Port of Muskogee. The 150,000-square-foot facility could employ up to 175 people.
The company is eligible for up to $4.37 million in federal stimulus money to build the new production plant, according to reports.
