The event was part of House the HomelessÕ 18th annual Sunrise Me¥morial Service. Prayers, singing and the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaque were all part of the ceremony. SundayÕs ceremony was the second part of AustinÕs Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, which runs from Nov. 13 through Nov. 19. Other events include a tour of the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless, a homeless veterans awareness luncheon and a screening of ÒThe SoloistÓ at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. City Councilwoman Laura Morri¥son, the eventÕs keynote speaker, said the city needs to improve its efforts to help the homeless, stressing access to health care, job training and afford¥able housing. ÒEvery one of these people was a son or daughter, mother or father, sis¥ter or brother,Ó Morrison said. ÒThey may have been invisible in life but they arenÕt anymore.Ó She said these untimely deaths need to be avoided in the future, and although Austin is weathering the recession better than other cities, many Austinites are still living on the streets.

The board oversees the March general election, in which students elect members of Student Govern¥ment, the Graduate Student As¥sembly, the Texas Union Board, the Co-op Board of Directors and Texas Student Media. Board mem¥bers must learn the election code and establish regulations, such as penalties for code violations, be¥fore campaigning begins in mid-February. The first round of appli¥cations did not go out until Oct. 28 and were not widely distribut¥ed before the Nov. 5 due date. The committee has only received five applications. SG President Scott Parks said part of the reason applications went out so late is no one seems to be sure who is responsible for distributing them. Members of the appointing committee are supposed to remain neutral in all things related to the 2011 election, and no one took the lead on form¥ing the new board, he said. The committee now hopes to have the complete board in place before winter break. ÒEveryone is committed to do¥ing a better job advertising this time around,Ó Parks said.

BOARD: Problems similar to last yearÕs hindrances From page 1 as soon as possible.Ó Each of the five groups in¥volved in the election have one representative on the committee that selects the board members. Delays in receiving names for the appointing committee from the five entities led to the delay in releasing applications the first time, said Melinda Sutton, dep¥uty to the dean of students. Last year, the board wasnÕt in place until a few days before campaigning officially start¥ed because SG had only passed its new election code the previ¥ous fall. The delay caused nu¥merous problems, including a charge of code violation levied against the Parks campaign in November and December be¥fore the board existed. Board members must take time to understand the code and to prepare for many pos¥sible violations, said Alex Fer¥raro, who was one of the lead authors of the new election code and the campaign man¥ager for the Minator Azemi campaign, ParksÕ main oppo¥sition in the election. ÒA downside last year is that the board didnÕt seem to have a full understanding of the elec¥tion code,Ó he said. ÒThere were sections they ended up violat¥ing themselves.Ó Charles Maddox, who chaired the 2010 board, said he doesnÕt foresee serious complications for the new board, especially if it is in place by the end of the semester, because it will have the precedent and guidance of the previous board. The only se¥rious problem that could result from the delayed board is a lack of oversight should candidates begin campaigning or other¥wise violating the election code before the board is final.

The victim told her coach about the incident on Sept. 7, and UTPD began its investiga¥tion the next day. Police began its examination of ZamoraÕs computer and memory cards after acquiring a search warrant on Sept. 8, said Nick Voinis, the senior associate athletic direc¥tor. Police found more footage of two former and seven oth¥er current track team members during their investigation.

Ñ The FBI says a Mississippi man who was once con¥sidered dead has been arrested in the kidnapping of a slain Las Vegas girl whose body was found in Louisiana. FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne said Thomas Steven Sanders was arrested early Sunday in Gulfport, Miss. The arrest capped a mas¥sive manhunt in a bizarre case that stretched across the country. Sanders was declared dead by a Mississippi court in 1994. He lived unnoticed for years despite being arrested several times.

Compiled from Associated Press reports Light-rail connects Islamic holy sites ÔMecca MetroÕ shuttle train part of development plan for boosted infrastructure By Sarah El Deeb The Associated Press MINA, Saudi Arabia Ñ Sau¥di Arabia has unveiled an elevat¥ed light-rail that will shuttle some Muslims beginning the hajj Sun¥day between IslamÕs holy sites, part of plans to turn the ancient city of Mecca into a modern me¥tropolis and ease crowding dur¥ing the annual pilgrimage. The four-day Islamic pilgrim¥age draws around 2.5 million worshippers each year, and the large numbers present authori¥ties with a challenge in prevent¥ing stampedes, fires in pilgrim encampments and the spread of disease. Dubbed the Mecca Metro, the new 11-mile light-railway is to begin shuttling pilgrims be¥tween holy sites Monday, al¥though itÕs reserved for Saudis and citizens of other Gulf na¥tions until it becomes fully oper¥ational next year. The train is just part of a bold plan to transform Mecca into a modern, high-tech city and in¥crease the number of pilgrims it can host annually from the cur¥rent 10 million to around 50 mil¥lion by 2020. ÒWe are trying to make Mecca the first city in the world that re¥alizes the desires of its residents and visitors throughout the year by using the best urban plan¥ning, the smartest technology to ensure the trip of the pilgrim is safe, easy, and enjoyable,Ó Mec¥ca Mayor Ossama al-Bar told The Associated Press. He said the 10-year plan de¥vised last year also envisions new roads, an improved health care and labs to keep track of viruses green initiatives and a new broad¥band communication network to enable pilgrims to stay connect¥ed. Religious entertainment, in- Hassan Ammar | Associated Press Thousands of tents housing Muslim pilgrims are crowded together in Mina near Mecca, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday. The annual Islamic pilgrim¥ age draws 2.5 million visitors each year, making it the largest yearly gathering of people in the world. cluding cultural events to explain the history of Islam and Mecca, is also in the works. Another step was taken Sun¥day, when officials signed a $7 billion deal to develop the near¥est airport in the city of Jiddah, boosting its capacity to 30 million travelers a year. ÒIt is a huge project. But it start¥ed and we hope God willing it will be finished within the de¥signed period,Ó al-Bar said in his makeshift office in the heart of a tent city accommodating thou¥sands of pilgrims at Mina. The first phase of the Mecca Metro project will transport pil¥grims between Mina, Mount Ara¥fat and Muzdalifa Ñ three stops during the pilgrimsÕ journey that trace the steps of the Prophet Mu¥hammad and Abraham. Muslims believe Abraham built the an¥cient structure in MeccaÕs Grand Mosque known as the Kaaba. The lime green cars zoom along an elevated rail, passing over the permanent white tents where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims spend the night on the way to the major sites. There are 12 trains now, each with a capaci¥ty of 3,000 people, said train oper¥ator Ahmed Hosny. It will begin a limited service Monday, operat¥ing at around 33 percent of its ex¥pected capacity. The $2 billion train, which does not stop at holy sites in Mecca itself, was constructed by a Chinese company. Officials say next year it will be at full capacity, serving around 500,000 and disposing of thou¥sands of buses that shuttle the pil¥grims between rituals and crowd the streets and pollute the air. During the hajj, pilgrims seek forgiveness for their sins and meditate on their faith, while tracing the steps of the Prophet Muhammad and also Abraham, who Muslims believe built the an¥cient structure in MeccaÕs Grand Mosque known as the Kaaba. Saudi Arabia has for years car¥ried out development and con¥struction projects to expand and improve the spaces used by the millions of pilgrims from around the world who are performing the hajj Ñ one of IslamÕs main pil¥lars required of every able-bodied Muslim once in their lifetime. Many worry the development around the holy shrines are strip¥ping Mecca of its heritage and spirituality. But al-Bar maintains there is no harm in new build¥ings so long as they donÕt violate Islamic belief. Editor-in-Chief: Lauren Winchester Phone: (512) 232-2212 E-mail: editor@dailytexanonline.com Associate Editors: Monday, November 15, 2010 Viviana Aldous Susannah Jacob OPINION Doug Luippold Dave Player THE DAILY TEXAN GALLERY OVERVIEW Expansion on the Drag For over a year, UT students and Austinites have passed by the empty space on the corner of 24th and Guadalupe streets and wondered what would replace the gap where Intellectual Property once stood. Would it be another bookstore? Maybe an arcade? Well, wonder no more Ñ The Daily Texan reported Friday that the space formerly occupied by the campus areaÕs only traditional bookstore will be occupied by three restaurants. Just what we need. More places to eat. Apparently Crave, Veggie Heaven, Potbelly, Mad¥am MamÕs, Thai Noodle House, Chipotle, AustinÕs Piz¥za, Texadelphia, Whataburger, Mellow Mushroom, Ar¥peggio, Pita Pit, Jack in the Box and Which Wich, not to mention the two buffets and three markets sitting on campus along with the restaurants in Dobie Mall, the Union and soon-to-be-opened Student Activity Center are not enough to satisfy our Texas-sized appetites. Are we really that hungry? In an area with copious eateries, the last thing we need is more restaurants. We could, however, use a movie theater. The Intellec¥tual Property building housed the Varsity Theater from the mid 1930s until shutting its doors in the early Ô90s. With Dobie MallÕs movie theater closed down and the Union selection somewhat limited, UT students could certainly enjoy a new movie theater near campus. A grocery store would also be an appropriate replace¥ment. The H-E-B in the Hancock Center or the Central Market at 38th Street and Lamar Boulevard are the clos¥est grocery stores to campus. A grocery trip is incon¥venient for those with cars and nearly impossible for those without them. Students could benefit from a gro¥cery store walking and biking distance from West Cam¥pus, though it might hurt business at the aforemen¥tioned restaurants. Lastly, we could just put in another bookstore. Despite being one of the biggest universities in the world, the only bookstores within walking distance from campus are the University Co-op, Brave New Books and Beat the Bookstore. Since Brave New Books operates on the unique business model of deriding and antagonizing customers and the other two primarily sell textbooks, the closest traditional bookstore to campus is BookPeo¥ple Ñ which is downtown. While Intellectual PropertyÕs failure would understandably make many apprehensive about the prospects of another bookstore, the void its ab¥sence created could fuel the success of another. Films, books and bodegas Ñ college students love and need them, but they are all tough to come by in West Campus. Instead of just installing more places to eat, the prime real estate location of 24th and Guadalupe should be used to meet a need, not expand an excess. Controlling utility costs In a year when good news seldom comes from Texas athletic centers, John Graham, director of the UT basket¥ball arena, helped significantly slash utility costs at the Frank Erwin Center, according to The Texas Tribune. According to the Tribune, GrahamÕs campaign to low¥er utility costs at the Erwin Center began when he dis¥covered the buildingÕs utilities cost upwards of $3,500 in a single day. Graham subsequently began to imple¥ment simple solutions such as operating the air condi¥tioner only 12 hours a day and turning off lights in emp¥ty rooms, and utility costs began the plummet. Although seemingly simple acts such as turning off the lights and using colder water are, well, simple, they are largely ways Graham and the athletic department were able to lower their utility bill by around $250,000 between 2008 and 2010. GrahamÕs efforts are exactly the type of cost-saving and sustainable actions the University needs in this time of budget cuts and environmental awareness. We often criticize the athletic departmentÕs funding and ways it spends its money, but this sense of sus¥tainable awareness is an example the entire Universi¥ty community should follow. With so many aspects of the UT budget completely out of the UniversityÕs con¥trol, utility costs are one area where we do control our own destiny. Increase participation in Eco2Go By Kate Clabby Daily Texan Columnist Two years ago, Jester second Floor and Kinsolving dining halls were generating 112 tons of food waste per year. ThatÕs a lot of garbage Ñ and the amount of ener¥gy it took to grow, process, transport and prepare 112 tons of food destined for a landfill, along with the amount of mon¥ey it took to buy it, is difficult to fath¥om. But when the Department of Hous¥ing and Food Service took trays out of the dining halls, food waste was reduced by 48 percent. Even better, starting this year, food waste from all DHFS locations is being composted. Food that rots in landfill produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Properly composted food produces rich, nutritious soil that farmers and gar¥deners can use instead of fossil-fuel-de¥rived fertilizers. DHFS sustainability ini¥tiatives arenÕt just talk Ñ UT is a huge institution, and programs like this make a big difference. When DHFS introduced composting in¥frastructure, it also completed the transi¥tion to using all compostable cups, plates, to-go containers and eating utensils. But the environmental impact of these prod¥ucts is more complicated than it seems. Most compostable containers and uten¥sils are made from either cornstarch or potato starch. And unfortunately, todayÕs agricultural practices use a lot of fos¥sil fuel to grow these crops. Add that to the energy required to process and refine an ear of corn into a heat-resistant coffee GALLERY LEGALESE Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the ar¥ticle. They are not necessarily those of the UT ad¥ministration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Stu¥dent Media Board of Operating Trustees. RECYCLE Please recycle this copy of The Daily Tex¥an. Place the paper in one of the recycling bins on campus or back in the burnt-orange news stand where you found it. cup, and by some estimates, these Òbio¥plasticsÓ actually take more energy to manufacture than ordinary plastic. Critics also argue that using food crops to make plates and forks instead of food will raise global food prices. But the technology is improving, and in the future, manufacturers might be able to make these containers from agricultural by¥products, such as peanut shells and straw. And their biggest benefit is not just that they can be composted but that they make composting food waste much more feasible. If DHFS composted food but offered only plastic containers and utensils, the com¥post would inevitably be contaminated. If just one person throws a plastic spoon in the compost bin, the entire load might have to go to the landfill. So when you account for the massive composting system that these compostables help facilitate, they do make sense for DHFS Ñ as long as most of them are actually composted. Though they are made from corn and potatoes, compostable containers are so highly processed that they will only break down in the high heat generated by com¥mercial composting facilities. You canÕt just throw them on the side of the road, and you canÕt even compost them in your backyard. And if you send them to the landfill, they generate the same planet¥warming gases as decomposing food. Right now, compost is only collected at food service locations, including JCL and Cypress Bend CafŽ. Given that the main justification for using disposable contain¥ers is that students like to take their food and drinks with them, it is not enough to only being able to dispose of them prop¥erly at the dining halls. To maximize the impact of its composting program, DHFS could try adding composting stations to the recycling stations across campus. Ultimately, we need to move away from disposables altogether. Ideally, all DHFS locations would offer reusable plates, cups and utensils at all eating locations. But bringing in reusables would require new dishwashing facilities and staff, which isnÕt immediately possible. For now, they offer a program called Eco2Go. Students pay $5 to join the program, and every time they visit a DHFS location, they get their food in a reusable container and get 5 percent off their purchase. They then rinse and return the container. Eco2Go is a good idea, but so far only about 500 stu¥dents have participated. To increase par¥ticipation, DHFS could lower listed food prices by 5 percent and then charge cus¥tomers who donÕt use Eco2Go a 5 per¥cent surcharge. The cost to students is the same, but consumers respond much more strongly to added charges than they do to discounts. A 50-cent discount might not seem like much, but if someone sees 50 cents added to the receipt for his or her $5 lunch every day, he or she might eventu¥ally realize joining Eco2Go would be more cost-effective. DHFS has proved its commitment to sustainability, and moving forward, it should focus on making it easy for stu¥dents to take advantage of the infrastruc¥ture it has invested in. Clabby is an English senior. Changing perceptions By Mikael Garcia Daily Texan Columnist When it comes to politics, Americans usu¥ally only focus on one thing: Election Day. Some research the candidates they vote for, along with their positions on important is¥sues. Most, though, vote along party lines. We canÕt expect every person who isnÕt a government major to know the minute de¥tails of every race in the country Ñ most cannot even name their state representa¥tive. Partisanship allows us to assume more than we know about candidates based on their party affiliation. Many believe that to be involved in pol¥itics, one must work on campaigns, regu¥larly attend community forums, stay up¥to-date with local, state and federal politics and basically devote all of his or her time to government-related issues. There is the perception that to stay involved, politics has to become your pastime, and if youÕre not willing to do that, then you stay out of politics completely. The conservative Austin think-tank Texas Public Policy Foundation and Craig James, former NFL running-back and ESPN com¥mentator, are trying to change this percep¥tion. Using the analogy of Ògetting off the sidelines and into the game,Ó James and the TPPF are preaching the message that stay¥ing involved, even if just slightly, could do wonders for our caustic political environ¥ment. More knowledge translates to a bet¥ter understanding of the issues Ñ not just from the Republican and Democratic po¥sitions but from all sides. Most problems donÕt have only two solutions, and if we treated our political system less like a coin¥toss, we might be able to find pragmatic so¥lutions to problems we face. The TPPF and James have singled-out some bipartisan issues that have helped ÒKeep Texas AwesomeÓ through the years. The first is, of course, that Texas is No. 1 in barbeque (I prefer BlackÕs BBQ in Lockhart myself), and the second is that Texas is also No. 1 in job creation. Both of these achieve¥ments are likely attributed to the econom¥ic climate in Texas, which promotes free markets. Even President Barack Obama ac¥knowledges the benefits of free markets, as seen in his new economic plan, which aims to double U.S. exports to liberalizing mar¥kets in India and Indonesia. These are the types of issues that Democrats and Repub¥licans generally agree upon, although there is some disagreement on how to imple¥ment the policies. As we move forward, itÕs important to create a common ground that will provide a stable foundation when we face more contentious issues. If you want to find out more about how to help spread this message, join James to¥night at 7 p.m. on the second floor of Aus¥tinÕs Pizza on Guadalupe Street for a dis¥cussion on how to ÒKeep Texas Awesome.Ó If youÕre thinking of being involved, IÕll see you there. Garcia is a government senior. Monday, November 15, 2010 NEWS Professor says recovery Students explore Japanese culture requires Ôcreative classÕ By Nick Mehendale Daily Texan Staff Austin is paving the way for Texas to pull out of the eco¥nomic recession, according to a prominent urban studies theorist. Richard Florida, a professor of business and creativity at the University of Toronto, ad¥dressed an audience of about 900 people at the LBJ Library Auditorium on Friday. During his speech, Florida said Austin and Central Tex¥as should lean on the Òcreative class,Ó made up of artists, mu¥sicians and inventors, to re¥cover from the recession. He first developed the idea of a creative class in his book ÒThe Rise of the Creative Class.Ó In it, he claims metro¥politan regions with high con¥centrations of ÒcreativesÓ will result in higher levels of eco¥nomic development. Florida said the creative class fosters an open, tolerant and dynamic environment. More creative people would then be more attracted to the area and move in, bringing with them business and capi¥tal, he said. Times of major econom¥ic crises call for a change in where we live and work, Flor¥ida said. ÒEvery single human being is creative,Ó Florida said. ÒThe great challenge is to tap into that creativity, and that must include everyone.Ó Florida said that the current times are unique because peo¥ple donÕt rely on raw materials and physical labor as they did in the past. ÒThere is something much more important than physi¥cal labor we share,Ó he said. ÒThere is something innate that is essentially fundamen¥tal to humans. ItÕs our human creativity. ThatÕs whatÕs be¥neath this economic transition we are experiencing.Ó Senior business lecturer Mi¥chael Brandl said that if we want to look at rebuilding the economy, we have to look at what is directly causing the problems now. ÒWe must go after the cause of the problem: the mortgage market imbalances and the horribly misaligned incen¥tives within financial mar¥kets,Ó Brandl said. ÒBanks us¥ing taxpayer dollars to trade and invest rather than lend to the taxpayers themselves is the real problem. Until we ad¥dress the cause the problems, the economy will not have a significant rate of expansion.Ó Business professor Lewis Spellman said that the lack of income tax is the reason why Texas has been able to bring in business after the recession, not a creative class. ÒThe reason Texas is doing better is because we donÕt have an income tax,Ó Spellman said. ÒBusinesses want to go wher¥ever costs are least.Ó CountryÕs customs, beliefs taught by organizations using traditional practices By Anna Fata Daily Texan Staff While many Americans might affiliate Japanese culture with sushi, karaoke and anime, the UT Japanese Association hosted a fall festival to expand studentsÕ knowledge about the country. The Japanese student group celebrated its fifth annual Fall Festival Friday evening, show¥casing Japanese food, dance and games, along with a traditional sword fight called ÒKendo.Ó Entertainment included tra¥ditional Japanese dance as well as contemporary performanc¥es such as a hip-hop dance by the Korean Student Association dance crew. Pianists and singers also showcased their talent. The cold weather and threat of rain moved the event from Greg¥ory Plaza to Jester Center. For $4 a plate, visitors sampled authentic Japanese food such as yakisoba noodles, fried chick¥en and okonomiyaki pancakes, which are less well-known in the United States than foods such as sushi and chicken teriyaki. The groupÕs president, Nick Prum, wore a traditional Jap¥anese robe called a ÒhappiÓ at the event. He said since the or¥ganization is only six years old and has about 70 members, the annual festivals are important events to raise awareness about the group. ÒThere are not that many Jap-anese people on campus, but we do have a lot of people who are just taking Japanese and have high interest in Japanese cul¥ture,Ó said Prum, an advertis¥ing senior. ÒWe just want to give them a place where they can come and share their interests.Ó The group will organize a sim¥ilar event in the spring called the Golden Week Festival, where they will again present tradi¥tional performances and food throughout the week. Oth¥er Asian student organizations, such as the Korean Student As¥sociation, Filipino Students As¥sociation and Chinese Student Association, were present at the festival. Prum said other student groupsÕ presence at each othersÕ events helps spread awareness of each organization and builds ties between the clubs. Although undeclared sopho¥more Lartrell Ransom is not Jap¥anese, he joined the organization to immerse himself in the cul¥ture while learning the language, he said. Plan II sophomore Ritika Go¥pal said she came to the event to see her boyfriend perform and noticed similarities between the Japanese culture and her own Indian culture. ÒBoth cultures are from the Eastern hemisphere, so a lot of the elements are kind of the same,Ó she said. ÒBoth cultures tend to have a lot of people on stage and dance all at once, and you donÕt really see a lot of that here.Ó Gov.

A unit that was ranked as the na¥tionÕs second best heading into Sat¥urday was picked apart by Okla¥homa State quarterback Brandon Weeden in a 33-16 loss, the Long¥horns fourth straight home loss for the first time since 1956. Weeden completed 29 of 43 passes for 409 yards and one touchdown and the nationÕs leading receiver, Justin Blackmon, had nine receptions for 145 yards and one touchdown. ÒWeeden was unbelievable,Ó said head coach Mack Brown. ÒHe made throws that very few college quarterbacks can make.Ó One throw in particular stood out Ñ a 67-yard bomb to Black¥mon early in the second quar¥ter that put the Cowboys up 16¥3, and sucked all the momentum out of the Longhorns for the rest of the night. Cornerback Aaron Wil¥liams, the best defensive back Tex¥as has, matched Blackmon step for step, but WeedenÕs pass fell just beyond his grasp.

Caleb Bryant Miller Daily Texan Staff WOMENÕS CROSS COUNTRY Texas claims first place with consistent effort Behm-led team will race in Indiana next Monday with chance for NCAA title By Julie Thompson Daily Texan Staff The Longhorns placed first at the NCAA South Central Regional Championship meet in Waco on Saturday. The win earned Texas an automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Cross Coun¥try Championships. ÒI think winning the region¥al is the first step of a long pro¥cess that we started here four years ago,Ó said head coach Steve Sisson. ÒThis is a step in part of a long extended push in this program to be the best in the country.Ó The team placed four runners in the top 10, leading to a 46-point victory. Rice followed with 71 points, and then came Arkansas, Baylor and Texas A&M. There was laughter and smiles all around at the 6KÕs finish line, where Sisson called his runners rock stars. Junior Mia Behm led the Longhorns with a second-place finish in 20:20.5. Freshman Marielle Hall finished in fifth 20 seconds later. Julie Amthor took sixth, Sara Sutherland ninth, Laleh Mojtabaeezamani 25th, Megan Siebert 27th and Allison Mendez 38th. Points were totaled using the top five finishers from each team. The five Texas scorers posted 6K career best times. The Longhorns had aimed to put as many runners in the top 15 as possible Ñ four of the top five scorers finished in the top 10. ÒMy five, six and seven were not very strong today,Ó Sisson said. ÒMia and Marielle did the lionÕs share of work through¥out the race, and I was really happy with their run. But real¥ly, it was a full team effort.Ó The Longhorns had a dis¥appointing finish at the Big 12 meet Oct. 30, and used the re¥gional meet as an opportunity to prove their strength as a team. ÒItÕs the road to the NCAA Championships, and itÕs a pro¥cess where we can get ahead of ourselves,Ó Sisson said. ÒSo, I spent the last two weeks mak¥ing sure everyone knew what the region meet meant.Ó The Longhorns were able to accomplish their goal of win¥ning the meet, and now they are preparing for their first NCAA Championship meet since 2002. ÒIt was a tough competition and definitely a testament to our team,Ó Sisson said. ÒWe turned a corner in the program today and weÕre beginning to prove that we belong on the national stage.Ó Young team wins big, will improve By Sameer Bhuchar Daily Texan Staff A very simple examination of the score line would make fans as¥sume that the Texas womenÕs bas¥ketball team handily defeated the Mississippi Valley State Universi¥ty Devillettes on Friday. Upon fur¥ther examination, though, there are signs that suggest head coach Gail Goestenkors and her staff have a lot of work to do in prepa¥ration for their next game. The LonghornsÕ starters played extremely well, posting a com¥bined 78 points out of the teamÕs 92. Yvonne Anderson notched a career-high 18 points while see¥ing action in a career-high 26 min¥utes. Ashleigh Fontenette led Tex¥as in scoring with 20 points. Ash¥ley Gayle snagged a game-high 11 rebounds and Kathleen Nash added 19 points to the mix. Even freshman Chassidy Fussell posted 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists in her Texas debut. When five players play as well as that, there should little ques¥tion as to the future prospects of the team. But the stats read both ways in this MVSU game Ñ and the other side of the numbers read poorly for the bench. Texas had 24 turnovers that hap¥pened mostly when a chunk of the starting rotation was on the bench. When the young reserve players came into the game, the Devillettes took advantage of their inexperi¥ence and cut into the lead. Goestenkors said coaching the mental aspects of the game to the bench will be her focus in upcom¥ing practices. ÒOne, I think the bench has to feelliketheyarestarting,Ó shesaid. ÒWe have to have our bench play well, so whoever is in the game has to play with the same focus and same intensity as our starters. I think the other thing that hap¥pened, though, was that we had such a big lead when they did go in that I think they were not as fo¥cused as they need to be. I think there is a little letdown when you have a big lead, so I think it was a bad combination.Ó Anderson said that with the young bench still learning the feel of game time, it is up to her and the rest of the returners to take an expanded leadership role. ÒThis year, I definitely had to take a larger leadership role,Ó An¥derson said. ÒIÕm one of the return¥ers, IÕm one of the upperclassmen, so thatÕs kind of my role to come in there and calm everything down and get everyone back on the page they are supposed to be.Ó The Longhorns will take on Northwestern State on Tuesday night. Texas will likely use that game to continue tuning up the play of their bench before getting into the meat of their schedule. MENÕS CROSS COUNTRY Dohner leads squad to nationals crossed the finish line in fifth, leading Texas in the 10K race, with a time of 30:21.1. This NCAA Championship trip, which will be held Mon¥day Nov. 22 in Terre Haute, Ind., will be TexasÕ 27th nation¥al visit. Last season, the team tied for 28th. ÒNow it is time to put the re¥gion meet behind us and look ahead to the national meet,Ó Hayes said. By Bri Thomas Daily Texan Staff After competing Saturday in Waco at the NCAA South Cen¥tral Regional, Texas came home with a second-place finish, clinching a spot in the NCAA Championship. The team drew in 66 points. Arkansas, the regional cham¥pion, finished first with 30 points, while Lamar took third and 102 points. Monday, November 15, 2010 SPORTS From page 6 ÒIt was just a great throw and a great catch,Ó Williams said in a mel¥ancholy tone after the game. Ò[Black¥mon] is just a great receiver. Oklaho¥ma State is a great team. We fought hard, but things went their way.Ó As a testament as to how good Blackmon is, Brown compared him to Michael Crabtree, the former Texas Tech standout that ruined the LonghornsÕ chances of making it to the national championship in 2008, and complimented him further by saying Williams Òcovered Black¥mon the best anyone could.Ó Though Blackmon accounted for the majority of receiving yards, Weeden found six other wide¥outs who all had receptions over 20 yards. Out of the eight receivers Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert passed to, only two surpassed the 20-yard mark. The CowboysÕ balanced offense allowed them to taunt the Long¥horns with their running game as well. And just like in the UCLA, Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas State games, Texas could not stop the run. Heralded tailback Kendall Hunter, who was averaging 137.8 yards per game before playing Tex¥as, gained 116 of the Cowboys 123 total rushing yards. He also scored two touchdowns. ÒThat Oklahoma State of¥fense ... ThatÕs not our scout team weÕre playing against,Ó ju¥nior safety Blake Gideon said. ÒTheyÕve got great athletes on the [offensive] side of the ball and they showcased that.Ó Two weeks ago against Kan¥sas State, Texas knew that running back Daniel Thomas would get the ball the majority of the game, yet the Longhorns had no answer. Same thing this weekend Ñ Texas knew Blackmon and Hunter were going to get the ball, but their talent was unstoppable. ÒBlackmon gets over 100 yards, Hunter gets over 100 yards,Ó Brown said. ÒThat puts pressure on you.Ó Before the game got out of hand, the Texas defense did what coordi¥nator Will Muschamp has been em¥phasizing all season Ñ holding the opponent to a field goal or less in Texas territory. On Oklahoma StateÕs first series, it drove down to the Tex¥as 6-yard line and had to settle for a field goal. Then on the CowboysÕ next drive, safety Kenny Vaccaro in¥tercepted Weeden on the UT 34. The Texas players were fist pumping and it looked like the night might turn out differently than it had the past four weeks. But OSU took control of the game in the second quarter, scoring points on four out of its five drives. ÒWe always talk about want¥ing to start fast and obviously we didnÕt,Ó Gideon said. ÒItÕs kind of a downer when you look up at the scoreboard and weÕve given up touchdowns early. As a defense, we need to rise to the occasion.Ó After the game, Muschamp complimented Oklahoma StateÕs effectiveness on offense, a group that ranks No. 3 in the nation in passing offense (354 yards per game), total offense (549 yards per game) and scoring offense (46 points per game). ÒWe tried to mix it up during the game, but theyÕre very fast,Ó Mus¥champ said. ÒTheyÕre very bal¥anced and we didnÕt stop them.Ó Texas has two guaranteed games left this season and it has to win both to become bowl eligible. SOCCER Doniak, other key pieces will anchor team in 2011 By Jon Parrett Daily Texan Staff TexasÕ season ended Friday as the Longhorns fell 3-1 to James Madison in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Junior Kylie Doniak scored the lone goal for Texas off a cross from senior Kirsten Birkhold. It was Do¥niakÕs ninth goal of the season. Texas finishes the year 11-6-4, but 0-2 in the postseason. Wins against BYU, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee were highs for the Longhorns this season, but a slow start in Big 12 play buried them in the standings and they never got higher than fourth in the conference. Texas looked like it might have been able to compete for the Big 12 title with strong play during itÕs out-of conference schedule, but failed to come up with a win in its first four conference games. After a loss to Kansas on Oct. 3, the Longhorns seemed to finally hit stride with their play, especial¥ly on the defensive end. In their five games following the loss to the Jayhawks, the Longhorns only allowed one goal, going 4-0-1 in that stretch, which included a win over No. 5 Oklahoma State. Following the win over the Cowgirls, Oklahoma ended the LonghornsÕ winning streak by downing them in double over¥time in Austin. It also ended the LonghornsÕ dominance on defense Ñ Texas finished the season allowing seven goals in four contests. A practical no-show in the first half of their opening-round game in the Big 12 tournament against Oklahoma set the tone for Texas in the postseason, as the Longhorns allowed JMU to outshoot them 19¥12 in FridayÕs loss in Chapel Hill. Texas loses two starters, includ¥ing captain Erica Campanelli, to graduation, but should be able to contend for the Big 12 title next season. Doniak emerged as a scor¥ing machine toward the end of the season, and Campanelli is the only piece Ñ albeit a major one Ñ the Longhorns lose along their strong back line. VOLLEYBALL Eleven straight for Faucette, Horns By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff For Juliann Faucette and the Longhorns, the hits just keep on coming. The senior outside hitter racked up 24 kills Saturday as Texas rolled 3-1 over Texas Tech on the road to extend the LonghornsÕ winning streak to 11 games. It was FaucetteÕs third straight contest with at least 24 kills, and she has found a rhythm as Texas (19-5, 14-2 Big 12) enters the final stretch of the regular season. Senior middle blocker Jen Do¥ris and sophomore opposite hit¥ter ShaÕDare McNeal each got in on the action with 11 kills apiece and senior outside hitter Lauren Dickson had her best game in a Longhorn uniform with eight kills and 11 digs. McNeal and Dickson carried the Longhorns in the fourth and final set with four kills each. A Dickson kill forced set point, and McNeal put the game in the books with the last kill of the night as Texas closed out strug¥gling Texas Tech 25-16 to wrap up the match. Texas stormed out to an ear¥ly lead in the first, thanks to a couple of early kills from Fau¥cette and a pair by Doris dur¥ing a 7-1 run that put the Long¥horns out in front for good as the team opened the match with a 25-12 win. But the Red Raiders (3¥23, 1-16) rallied in the second to tie the contest as it pulled away from the Longhorns late 25-22 and overcame eight kills by Faucette. After the break, Texas re¥grouped and regained the lead with a hard-fought third set. Faucette broke out with four straight kills to stretch the lead to 21-12 after McNeal got the Longhorns going with an ace and two kills during a 7-1 ral¥ly that put Texas ahead by eight. WHAT: No. 7 Texas vs. Missouri WHERE: Gregory Gym WHEN: Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. COVERAGE: texassports.com The Red Raiders came as close as 24-20, but Faucette put an end to the set with her eighth kill of the frame to give Texas the 25-20 win. It was the LonghornsÕ 20th straight win over the Red Raid¥ers and TexasÕ 14th win of its last 15 matches. ItÕs been the opposite for Tex¥as Tech this year as the Red RaidersÕ latest loss was its 11th in a row. Texas sits behind Nebraska in the Big 12 standings and is a game-and-a-half behind the Cornhuskers with four contests left on the slate.

PPD Study Opportunities PPD conducts medically supervised research studies to help evaluate new investigational medications. PPD has been conducting re¥search studies in Austin for more than 20 years. The qualiÞcations for each study are DUO: Patriotic pants, shrimp leave crowd without much regret From page 10 by Tim and EricÕs pierced, frat¥ty alter-egos Jim and Derrick, and some onstage dancing when Pusswhip Banggang played sev¥eral songs at the end of the show. Also, a privileged few were able to snag the Christmas gifts Ñ packets of frozen shrimp Ñ that Tim and Eric tossed out. Classic Tim and Eric skits from the TV show that were projected onto a screen and selected by the audienceÕs applause kept every¥one entertained in between per¥formances. The chosen clips were ÒOoh Mama!Ó and ÒCelery Man,Ó the latter featuring a sweaty, cof¥fee-gulping Paul Rudd watching funky, kinky videos of himself on a computer.

ÒPusswhip Banggang was awesome,Ó said Amy Offield, a Tim and Eric fan who drove from College Station to see the show. ÒEricÕs pants were the most patriotic pants IÕve seen in a long time. And I didnÕt know that they could shred so hard.Ó The band played some fa¥vorites from the TV show like ÒPoke On,Ó and even came back for an encore after they had left the stage, making the weirdness last until just before 11 p.m. Af¥terwards, the audience cheered and left without many regrets. ÒI just wish I could have got¥ten my hands on some of that frozen shrimp.Ó Offield said. PIZZA: Pies contain gourmet ingredients From page 10 Over time, the BowersÕ began inviting friends over to their house for what ChristianÕs wife, Jamie, dubbed Òpizza night.Ó As word spread, their pizza nights grew to full-on parties, and people began asking Bowers for lessons. ÒThen some of those people said, ÔOh, could you just come over to our house and make pizza for some of our friends when they come over?Õ At about the same time, I had ordered the oven, and I thought, ÔWell shoot, you know, letÕs put this thing on a trailer, and when someone asks us to do this again weÕll just take the whole oven over,ÕÓ Bowers said. And so Bola Pizza was born. The company gets its name from the BowersÕ beloved dog, a Blue Lacy named Bola. ÒBola was our dog for a long time, and heÕs no longer with us,Ó come running.Ó Although Bola never got to see the pizza oven, his enthu¥siasm for pizza crusthas certain¥ly transferred to his owner and has become the pinnacle of the companyÕs product. ÒItÕs all about the crust. If a piz¥za doesnÕt have ÔÔTheir pizza is the best in town, hands down.Ó Ñ Michelle Cheng Food blogger and even lamb piz¥zas. The menu also suggests wine pair¥ings for each of its delectable pies. ÒThe pizzas weÕve designed cu¥linarily, I think, are interesting pizzas,Ó Bowers said. ÒOn our mushroom pizza, itÕs not just mushroom caps on top of a cheese piz¥za. We mince up crimini mushrooms ing way to interact and eat mush¥rooms than it is to throw on some caps on it.Ó Fellow food blogger and pizza night frequenter Michelle Cheng shares her experience with Bow¥ersÕ pies. ÒTheir pizza is the best in town, hands down. The crust is perfect Ñ just chewy enough, just crunchy enough, and just a little bit sour, so you know it was properly aged,Ó Cheng said. Since Bola Pizza is a catering company, one must book them through their website to sample the BowersÕ tantalizing pizza. For a party of 40, the tab comes to be about $1200. ÒIt sounds like a lot, but itÕs about $25 a person, and itÕs all¥you-can-eat pizza,Ó Bowers said. ÒThen, everyone after 40 people is $20 per person ... We bring the plates, napkins, trash cans, so itÕs kind of a self-contained party.Ó Bowers said. ÒMy wife, Jamie, would call him our official crust taster when our pizza night was just me and her. He could smell me making the dough, and heÕd Bowers said. Staying true to his foodie roots, BowersÕ gourmet menu boasts a powerful range of toppings, from bolognese to pesto to mushroom, a good crust, itÕs a zero in my book. ItÕs kind of like the saying, ÔSushiÕs all about the rice.Õ ItÕs the same thing ... IÕm more sparse on the top¥pings, so you can taste the bread,Ó and cook them down with thyme, white wine and shallots, just like youÕd do with French prepara¥tion, and put mushroom sauce on top of it.

RESTAURANT REVIEW BOLA PIZZA Pizza trailerÕs crust tops competition By Sara Benner Daily Texan Staff When one envisions the per¥fect pizza, many things come to mind. Some desire a thin pie and a fluffy crust spotted with pep¥peroni. Others yearn for a dense pie with a crunchy crust topped by the usual suspects: sausage, ol¥ives, peppers, anchovies, onions, and extra cheese. Utilizing fresh, local products, a custom-made wood-fire pizza oven-trailer hy¥brid and a serious passion for piz¥za, Bola Pizza owner and food blogger Christian Bowers seeks to restore pizza to its rightful place in the culinary world as an entree, rather than mere utility food. While maintaining his blog, Austin Food Journal, Bowers runs his pizza-catering company out of his North Austin backyard. The pizza project began as a con¥tent builder for his blog. ÒI was going to blog about the build-up over a series of months, which I did, but it kind of took on a life of its own. It became a business once I put it on a trail¥er,Ó Bowers said. cold temperatures for three days, dough, I was making it twice a wife.

While in Vietnam, Ogaisa ate dog, a tradi¥tional staple of the countryÕs diet, but just a week later, a dog bit him in Thailand. ÒIt tastes like beef stew, but real¥ly, food tastes so different around the world,Ó Ogaisa said. ÒWhy donÕt we eat bugs? IÕve eaten bugs in other countries.Ó This is just one of memorable experiences that Ogaisa, president of Students for Study Abroad, had overseas. He wishes to share his experiences with students attend¥ing International Education Week, which celebrates cultural diversity on campus. ÒGoing abroad is how I found myself,Ó Ogaisa said. ÒIt taught me about my own culture.Ó This is one of the goals that In¥ternational Education Week has for those that come to its 55 events. An overall promotion of going global and having cultural inter¥actions will be stressed. The week is also meant to showcase how di¥verse a student body UT has. ÒEveryday you can see how global we are, but by giving it a week, it draws attention to it,Ó said International Office spokesman Christian Casarez. ÒIt pulls differ¥ent cultures together.Ó In addition, the week aims to give students knowledge of the global economy. ÒNowadays, everything is glob¥al,Ó said Claudia Prieto, interna¥tional programs coordinator and International Education Week committee chair. ÒProducts are manufactured all over the world. All of this starts at home by gain¥ing perspective and exposure to new ideas.Ó This yearÕs events will range from foreign films to language ses¥sions and even wedding traditions to appeal to the widest variety of tastes on campus. ÒThe events are meant to help students create their own road maps to fit in their col¥lege degree plans,Ó Casarez said. ÒThey can learn how to fund [their own programs], which is really empowering.Ó Coordinators think students provide the relatable perspective of a young adult who has traveled abroad and seen the differences between the U.S. and other coun¥tries. ÒI never realized how much in¥fluence the U.S. has on the world,Ó Ogaisa said. Ogaisa hopes that his study abroad experiences will inspire others to do the same. Ò[Traveling abroad] makes you realize all the resources you have at UT,Ó Ogaisa said. ÒI never real¥ized the accessibility of gyms [or] the PCL. You can really get any¥thing for free if you go looking for it. Other countries arenÕt like that.Ó Ogaisa and students involved in International Education Week will attempt to open doors for students to the possibility of traveling over¥seas, but theyÕll also show them itÕs worth the risk to travel. ÒFight your own fears,Ó Ogai¥sa said. ÒEvery time I go, itÕs still a challenge. The fear of the un¥known kills us, but you have to get out of your bubble.Ó WHAT: International Education Week WHERE: Various locations around UT WHEN: Nov. 15 - 19, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. WEB: utiew.wordpress.com Comedy duo jars audience, delivers Ôawesome showÕ By Aaron West Daily Texan Staff The Paramount Theatre, Aus¥tinÕs oldest theater, was also the cityÕs freakiest when the per¥versely hilarious comedy duo, Tim Heidecker and Eric Ware¥heim, invaded the venue on Sat¥urday for their Chrimbus Spec¥tacular 2010 tour. Tim and Eric, the creators and stars of Adult SwimÕs bizarre television show ÒTim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!Ó is weird enough on TV, so when itÕs converted to a live show, things get insane. Offensive, awkward, surre¥al and straight-up odd are Tim and EricÕs bread and butter, and the two spread it on thick for the show-goers. There were glittery, over-the-top Christmas-themed musical numbers; a furry, ana¥tomically correct onesie; guest appearances; uncomfortable au¥dience participation; a perfor¥mance by Pusswhip Banggang, Tim and EricÕs band; and plen¥ty more. Audience members familiar with the TV show had an idea of what they were getting into and, judging from the crowdÕs reac¥tions, they were satisfied with the performance. ÒI knew that it was going to be absurd and off-the-wall,Ó said Zach Hutchens, a local ac¥tor and glass technician who at¥tended the show. ÒMy sides hurt from laughing. And man, when Steve Brule came out, I was on my feet.Ó Dr. Steve Brule, played by a somewhat-confused but al¥ways sincere John C. Reilly, was a highlight of the night. Peo¥ple jumped out of their seats and clapped like crazy when he came onstage and conduct¥ed an unsettling mammogram for Misty, a ÒpatientÓ he chose from the crowd. Misty seemed freaked out, which is what Brule was going for, so mission ac¥complished. Other bits involving the au¥dience included a strange, two¥man wet T-shirt contest emceed DUO continues on page 9 Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim sport American flag pants as a part of their ridiculous comedy performance at The Paramount Theatre on Saturday.
