NEWS BRIEFLY $400 million tax shortfall adds to Texas budget deficit woes Shortfalls in franchise- and sales¥tax collection will exacerbate cur¥rent budget difficulties, the Texas comptrollerÕs office said Thursday. Franchise tax revenues are down $400 million for the first nine months of this fiscal year when compared to the same time period last year. The franchise tax, some¥times called the business tax, is the second-largest source of income for the state budget, office spokesman R.J. DeSilva said. DeSilva said the reduction in rev¥enue could mostly be attributed to RIDE: Team aims to help community From page 1 and others are Ph.D. candidates. Despite their differing life experi¥ences, the cause of fighting cancer motivates them to pedal 60 to 120 miles each day in the hope of find¥ing a cure.

ÒAfter being diagnosed with economic difficulties. During the first nine months of the 2010 fiscal year, $3.6 billion in revenue was generated from the franchise tax. During the same peri¥od in 2009, the tax generated about $4 billion in revenue, DeSilva said. Figures for sales-tax revenues will be released Wednesday. The franchise tax was overhauled in 2006 to help pay for Texas public schools after a court ruling mandat¥ed school property-tax reductions. The announcement comes on the heels of Gov.

Sports Editor: Dan Hurwitz E-mail: sports@dailytexanonline.com Phone: (512) 232-2210 SPORTS Friday, June 4, 2010 www.dailytexanonline.com THE DAILY TEXAN HornsÕ road to Omaha starts here By Chris Tavarez Daily Texan Staff For a season defined by streaks, including 21 straight wins and nine consecutive conference se¥ries victories, the Longhorns find themselves in the unusual posi¥tion of riding a three-game los¥ing streak heading into the first game of the NCAA Tournament against Rider tonight at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. Texas entered the Big 12 confer¥ence tournament as the favorite to be the No. 1 seed in the field, but failed to get a single win in three games in Oklahoma City as it fell to Missouri, Texas Tech and even¥tual tournament champions Texas A&M. Despite the LonghornsÕ poor per¥formance in the conference tourna¥ment, Texas was still able to earn the No. 2 seed in the nation, guar¥anteeing it home-field advantage in the regional round and the super re¥gional if it advances out of the four¥team double elimination regional. While the lack of apparent mo¥mentum and the three-game skid may raise questions about a po¥tential collapse, head coach Au¥gie Garrido feels his team is right where it needs to be. ÒIn reality ... once they clinched it, they had what they wanted Ñ that killer instinct isnÕt there,Ó Gar¥rido said. ÒThatÕs what was miss¥ing. We were disconnected because we werenÕt all on the same page on that competitive level. The compet¥itive juices werenÕt flowing.Ó In stark contrast to Texas is Rid¥er, which enters todayÕs game rid¥ing a 10-game winning streak, fresh off the Metro Atlantic Athlet¥ic Conference tournament title. But now, as Texas returns to the friendly confines of Disch-Falk Field, where it owns a 17-game winning streak, the Horns are ready for Brandon Workman to help them return to their winning ways. While Workman is usually LoyÕs return helps TexasÕ chances By Austin Ries Daily Texan Columnist ItÕs no secret that Texas didnÕt play like the second-ranked team in the nation last week at the Big 12 Championship. You can blame it on complacen¥cy, fatigue or any other excuse you want. The pitches werenÕt there. Balls didnÕt fall in the right places, and the conference ÒlionÓ passed on its final Big 12 kill. But donÕt jump ship just yet. There was a lot missing in the HornsÕ three losses to opponents they had a 6-1 record against dur¥ing the regular season, and there are even more questions. Where did the offense go? Can the pitching staff hold up down the stretch? Can the Horns recreate the mag¥ic from the last postseason? With this Texas team, itÕs been easy to assume a win or series sweep day in and day out. The Longhorns won 21 games in a row, 28 of their last 29 in the reg¥ular season and swept all but two conference series. For a while it was as if GarridoÕs bunch could do no wrong. But baseball is a game of failure that has a way of humbling even larger-than-life psyches like Kevin Federline or Paris Hilton. Bobby Longoria | Daily Texan file photo Junior pitcher Brandon Workman checks a runner on first base in a game against Baylor on May 2, which the Horns won 4-1.

According to Brown, the Pac-10, whose annual meetings begin today, is interested in adding Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Okla¥homa State and Colorado. The proposed alignment would put the six Big 12 teams in an eight¥team division with Arizona and Ar¥izona State. Brown notes that the realignment would roughly double each uni¥versityÕs television revenue, bring¥ing together seven of the nationÕs 20 biggest television markets. While most of the schoolsÕ athlet¥ic directors denied comment, Col¥orado athletic director Mike Bohn said he and other school officials have been led to believe the Pac-10 is going to extend invitations to the six schools, according to the Boulder Daily Camera. BohnÕs comments come in stark contrast to Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott, who told Los Angeles Times writer Chris Dufresne, ÒNo decisions made. No offers extended. We meet this weekend, and IÕm not anticipating any definitive decisions coming out.Ó Speculation further arose when scheduled press conferences by UT President William Powers Jr. and Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe were cancelled yesterday during the annual Big 12 spring meetings. Ñ Dan Hurwitz WomenÕs track and field continues to shine in the Big 12 Most UT students have taken the past few weeks to relax and re¥cuperate, but the womenÕs track and field team has been kicking it into high gear. At the Big 12 Out¥door Championships on May 16, the women placed third, notching their best finish since 2007. Juniors Chantel Malone and Victoria Lucas led the way, taking gold in the long jump and the high jump. Malone also placed third in the triple jump. But Malone and Lucas werenÕt the only ones to shine at the con¥ference championship. The 4x400¥meter relay team placed second, edged out by Texas A&M at the fin¥ish line. Sophomore Angele Cooper, a member of the relay team, also placed second in the 400 hurdles, qualifying for the national cham¥pionships. This well-rounded per¥formance helped the Longhorns maintain their No. 6 national rank¥ing and gain momentum heading into the NCAA Outdoor National Championships, set to begin June 9 in Eugene, Ore. The womenÕs team will send seven individuals and the 4x400-meter relay team Ñ its most competitors since 2005. Ñ Ryan Betori used as TexasÕ Sunday starter, Gar¥rido decided to start him against the Broncs tonight. ÒBrandon matches up pretty well with this team,Ó Garrido said. ÒOne of the things that teams do to him is run on him, and it both¥ers him some. Brandon matches up better because they donÕt have the overall baserunning or they donÕt bunt as much as [Louisiana-Lafay¥ette] does, for example. I think heÕs our best choice for this first game.Ó WorkmanÕs only appearance in the Big 12 tournament was in Tex¥asÕ third game against Texas A&M, when he came in relief of Cole Green. Workman lasted only 2.1 in¥nings and surrendered two earned runs on four hits while only strik¥ing out one batter. ÒThatÕs one good thing about throwing like I did last week. ... I didnÕt really wear myself out too much up there, so I am really well¥rested,Ó Workman said. While Texas will be hosting a re¥gional for the 36th time, Rider will only be making its 10th appear¥ance in the past 27 years. ÒWeÕre hoping that two years ago will pay off a little bit,Ó Rider head coach Barry Davis said. ÒWe got a lot of guys ... [that] were part of that team.Ó RiderÕs 2008 appearance in the NCAA tournament resulted in back-to-back losses to Cal State Fullerton and Virginia. Rider will be throwing out its Friday night starter, Mike Thomas, who pitched two innings of relief in RiderÕs 8-2 loss to Virginia. ÒMikeÕs been our guy this year,Ó Davis said. ÒHeÕs been consistent, and I think the guys like playing behind him.Ó TexasÕ biggest nonconference ri- This time it was the Horns. ÒI feel like losing three games up there was kind of a wake-up call for our team,Ó todayÕs starter Bran¥don Workman said. ÒIt showed us we canÕt just throw it out there and expect to win every game.Ó Speculation aside, here are a few contributing factors in TexasÕ first consecutive losses since Feb. 20 and 21 against New Mexico: Ñ Five errors Ñ Going 3-for-23 with runners in scoring position Ñ Hitting into six double plays But the best news for the Horns is shortstop Brandon LoyÕs return to the lineup. Before missing the past five games because of a shoulder in¥jury, the sophomore played in 119 straight contests for the Horns the past two seasons. LoyÕs absence may not appear to be as detrimental as losing a pitch¥er like Taylor Jungmann or Chance Ruffin. And it may not seem to be cause for alarm, as an injury to an offensive threat like Cameron Rupp would be, but it hurt just the same. There is more to playing short¥stop than soft hands, coal-walk¥ing quick feet and an arm that can fire a strike to first base off one foot while moving toward third base. ItÕs a mindset. Part arrogance, part confidence, with a whole lot of respect from your teammates that youÕre more than just another fielder Ñ youÕre the captain of the infield. The position is easy to overlook, as is Loy. HeÕs batting only .258 with 12 extra base hits and one home run going into the postsea¥son, but LoyÕs worth comes from more than averages or numbers. ÒItÕs huge having him back,Ó Rupp said. ÒHeÕs a good defender Ñ gets the job done Ñ and heÕs a guy you want in the lineup.Ó The biggest number from Loy is 16, the number of sacrifice bunts he laid down this season. For a Texas team that ranks fourth in the nation with 69 sacrifice bunts this season, it only got one down dur¥ing the tournament. Loy, who holds the school record for most sacrifice bunts, does more for the Horns with his return. Loy has only seven errors this season, making any ball hit his way an al¥most sure out. This also moves sophomore Jordan Etier back to second base, where he has been all semester, and brings consistency back to the batting lineup. With Loy back in the second spot in the lineup, Tant Shepherd can move to the third spot, where he has really gotten comfortable over the last month of the season. And as much as baseball is a game TODAY: Rider (15-9, 36-21) at No. 2 Texas (24-3, 46-11) WHERE: UFCU Disch-Falk Field WHEN: 6:30 p.m. val, Rice, is the No. 2 seed in the regional and will be facing off against Louisiana-Lafayette in the first game of the day.

LonghornsÕ May 4 win over Prairie View A&M. But if there is anything to learn from Garrido, itÕs to not expect about each pitch. As with everyone else, the anything. ThatÕs been a big part of Looking back on the magic of HornsÕ postseason fate is still up TexasÕ success this season Ñ not last season, Garrido said you donÕt in the air. folding under the expectations or really manufacture the spiritual But with Loy back in the lineup, predictions Ñ and just worrying part of the game. their chances just got a lot better.
