The Longhorns, who have spent all season under the gun, face a fa¥miliar opponent today in the Col¥lege World Series : elimination. ÒItÕs do or die,Ó said freshman Er¥ich Weiss. ÒAgain. IÕd say weÕre the most experienced team in the los¥ersÕ bracket.Ó Because Texas lost the first game of its Omaha trip, an 8-4 loss to Florida Saturday night, it must now beat North Carolina today to keep its season alive. And after that, the team would have to win three more games in this double-elimination bracket to make it to the CWS Finals. ÒWe canÕt focus on the champi¥onship or anything like that, we just have to focus on North Carolina,Ó Weiss said.

The Greater East Aus¥tin Youth Association organized the dayÕs events, including a parade, a run and a historical program. More than 125 cars and floats from 80 different groups traveled from the inter¥section of Martin Luther King Jr. Boule¥vard and Comal Street to Rosewood Park.

The Texas Higher Education Coor¥dinating Board allocated roughly $21 million to the University for TEXAS Grants, which will serve 3,330 con¥tinuing students and more than half of the eligible incoming freshmen, said Tom Melecki, director of student financial services. ÒThe budget for TEXAS Grant turned out better than we originally thought it would be,Ó Melecki said. He said the Texas House of Repre¥sentatives proposed $366 million for TEXAS Grants last semester, but the SenateÕs special session budget bill al¥lots $560 million. ÒIt would have been a much more dire picture had the house version [remained],Ó Melecki said. If the grant is awarded, incom¥ing students would be able to receive money for all four years they attend UT, he said. The Office of Student Financial Services worked last se¥mester to put together a freshmen¥only grant for students to prepare for the possible loss, Melecki said. Finan¥cial aid packages that come out July 1 will not reflect TEXAS Grant awards but will include freshmen-only grants for eligible incoming students.

The brazen attack in the heart of KabulÕs government district provided a sharp counterpoint to KarzaiÕs announcement that the U.S. and Afghan government are in talks with the Taliban, the first official confirmation of such dis¥cussions. The violence also under¥scored the difficulty facing possi¥ble negotiated settlement to the decade-long war. Men dressed in Afghan army uniforms stormed the police sta¥tion near the presidential palace and opened fire on officers as they tried to enter the building, said Mo¥hammed Honayon, an eyewitness. Kabul Police Chief Gen. Mo¥hammad Ayub Salangi said two police officers had been killed and one injured. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack, saying three suicide bombers attacked the police train¥ing center. The assault occurred shortly after Karzai, who is a strong proponent of peace discussions, announced during a speech at the presidential palace that his government and the NEWS BRIEFLY Muslim Brotherhood finds voice with new political party in Egypt CAIRO Ñ It was to CairoÕs slum of Munib on a recent evening that the Muslim Brotherhood, EgyptÕs biggest Islamic group, brought its election campaign message: The country must turn to Islam to re¥build. ÒMuslims around the world ex¥pect great things from you,Ó Essam el-Erian, deputy head of the Broth¥erhoodÕs new political party, told supporters. ÒWe have to build a na¥tion of freedom and equality, a na¥tion of the true Islam.Ó With Mubarak gone, the Broth¥erhood is storming into the open, appealing to religious voters and trying to win over EgyptÕs poor. It is likely to be part of EgyptÕs next government, with a hand not only in ruling but also in writing a new constitution. Its strength has fueled fears among many Egyptians that it will turn what began as a pro¥democracy uprising in the Arab worldÕs most populous nation into Islamic rule. United flights delayed, cancelled after five-hour computer outage CHICAGO Ñ A five-hour com¥puter outage that virtually shut down United Airlines on Friday night and early Saturday is a stark reminder of how dependent air¥lines have become on technology. Passengers saw their flight infor¥mation vanish from airport screens, and thousands were stranded as United canceled 31 flights and de¥layed 105 worldwide. The airline still had no explana¥tion Saturday afternoon for the out¥age. But things could have been much worse. A blizzard in the Northeast wiped out more than 10,000 flights over three days in December, a mid-January storm led airlines to cancel nearly 9,000 flights. FridayÕs shutdown occurred late enough in the day that many of the canceled flights were the last planes out for the day, said Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst with Forrester Research. On a Monday morning, the results could have been catastrophic. Sextuplets born on FatherÕs Day in stable condition in Alabama BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

Ñ Compiled from Associated Press reports Fans gather to remember US, Afghanistan in talks with Taliban E Street Band saxophonist By Josh Lederman The Associated Press ASBURY PARK, N.J. Ñ Nanc¥ey Ryder-Cunningham said it felt like the end of the soundtrack to her life. Outside The Stone Pony, the Jer¥sey Shore rock club that helped launch Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, she wept Sunday as she surveyed the flowers, candles and photos that had sprung up over¥night in honor of saxophonist Clar¥ence Clemons. ÒIt changed everything in my life,Ó said Ryder-Cunningham, 59, recall¥ing the first of about 100 Spring¥steen concerts she estimated she had attended. ÒI was just a disillusioned kid on the street, and I feel like they rescued me.Ó Hundreds of the bandÕs fans, in¥cluding some who drove from hours away, gathered at the club, where Springsteen and his bandmates got their start in the early 1970s.

ClemonsÕ last performance at Stone Pony was a solo show in the summer of 2006, house promoter Kyle Bren¥dle said, but Springsteen and Clem¥ons played routinely at the club in the 1970s, usually as unannounced acts. The gathering Sunday afternoon juxtaposed bereavement and festiv¥ity. Fans milled around, drank beer and sang along to Springsteen tunes as they talked about what ClemonsÕ music meant to them.

Last week, as the special session of the 82nd Texas Leg¥ islature put the finishing touches on one of the most hotly¥ contested state budgets in recent history, the most powerful man in Texas government couldnÕt be found within a coy¥ oteÕs howl of the state. As Republicans and Democrats debated how to make up for a $19 billion budget shortfall over the next two years, Gov. Rick Perry was on a whirlwind cross-country tour, the only purpose of which seemed to be to sheepishly invite questions regarding a possible presidential bid in 2012. Per¥ ry has previously stated he would not run, saying last year, ÒI donÕt have any interest in going to D.C. as a president, vice president, member of Congress, car guard Ñ none of the above.Ó But the buzz surrounding our stateÕs longest-serving governor has continued to mount, and his latest round of out-of-state speaking engagements has some questioning whether Perry is considering throwing his hat into the ring. Perry has spent the last week traveling cross-country from Los Angeles to New York to New Orleans, a trip which in¥ cluded stops to meet with Òpotential donorsÓ and an appear¥ ance on Fox News where he called himself a Òprophet.Ó Per¥ haps that term was merely a reference to the national prayer rally that Perry has been busy planning for later this sum¥ mer. At the Republican Leadership Conference in New Or¥ leans, where Perry signed copies of his book ÒFed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington,Ó buttons sporting ÒPerry 2012Ó were hot sellers. Meanwhile, as Perry has been feverishly ripping the Obama administration in his stump speeches, calling it Òir¥ responsible,Ó the state he governs still does not have a budget for the upcoming year. School districts are laying off teach¥ ers, health services aiding thousands of Texans are getting cut and PerryÕs primary concern is making sure potential voters know just how much he dislikes President Barack Obama. The focus of PerryÕs speeches has centered on TexasÕ eco¥ nomic performance during the current recession; Perry touts a number of measures showing the state has fared better than its peers in recent years. Some numbers Perry wonÕt mention include the stateÕs dismal education ranking Ñ placing it at the bottom of the lists for student achieve¥ment Ñ spending per student and graduation rates. Those numbers show no hope of improvement, given the proposed cuts to public education in the state. Meanwhile, while scouting his campaign trail, Perry seems perfectly content to play the role of prettiest girl at the prom. Texans are left wondering where the party was. Preserving higher education Several state leaders have formed the Texas Coalition for Excellence in Higher Education, unveiled last week, to ad¥ dress the higher education debate that could substantially reduce the quality of education offered in the state. In the past several months, Gov. Rick Perry and the UT System Board of Regents have shown support for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, whose proposed reforms include a separation of research and teaching budgets, which would significantly reduce University-generated research, and an unfeasible reduction in tuition costs that would likely result in increased class sizes and fewer courses. We applaud the efforts of everyone who has spoken out against the proposed reforms and appreciate the action tak¥ en by the groupÕs founding members, which total more than 200. The coalition which includes former university presi¥dents, regents, and lieutenant governors will help improve discussions and increase transparency surrounding higher education in the state. The group has also garnered attention for the diverse backgrounds of its participants, which in¥cludes many former Perry supporters and influential donors from both political parties. We hope it is the first of many steps to preserve the quality of education offered at UT and other universities across Texas. Our degrees matter By Natalie Butler Daily Texan Guest Columnist To say that the conversations surrounding higher education in Texas over the past few months have been heated is an understate¥ment. So-called ÒreformsÓ being pushed by outside interest groups have been proposed, opposed, discussed and scrutinized. At the center of this debate are a few key players, namely Gov. Rick Perry, members of the University of Texas System Board of Re¥gents and the privately funded Texas Public Policy Foundation. After setting their sights on Texas A&M, they have now focused on the University of Texas at Austin, hoping to push their agenda on our campus. Sides have been taken, and the future of the University of Texas is, in many ways, on the line. The University of Texas at Austin is one of the greatest public universities in the country. More than 32,500 students ap¥plied for just 7,000 undergraduate slots last year, demonstrating the clear demand for the valuable and quality education offered here. Unfortunately, the University has been falsely accused by a few of being stuck in its ways and unwilling to reform. What has been characterized as a Òpush backÓ to many of these reforms is not the result of an un¥willingness to change. On the contrary, our campus is constantly changing and evolv¥ing, as it should. From signature courses to the Course Transformation Project, we have worked to imagine ways to improve the classroom experience with technology and exposure to top faculty. Our administration is fully invested in the future of our Univer¥sity, and we as students need to continue to take an active role in helping our institution grow and improve. The push back, rather, comes from the fear that many of the proposed reforms are ill-conceived, untested and could under¥mine the excellence of our University. Some of the reforms that have been tossed around by think tanks and members of the Board of Regents could have long-term damaging ef¥fects on our University, our stateÕs economy and our futures. Massive enrollment expan¥sion, separating the teaching and research missions of the University, packing students into huge classes or mandating that we take online courses are not the answer. Having each faculty member teach three sections of a 400-person class would admittedly reduce costs, but what would be the value of that education? It would be minimal compared to the great value of the UT education to¥day, which includes an emphasis on writ¥ing, research and discussion. If we want our Tier One research institution to encourage analysis, foster critical thinking and teach writing skills while creating the leaders of tomorrow, we have to look beyond a data point and see both the tangible and intangi¥ble values of our education. Simply analyz¥ing data, though valuable in certain regards, cannot capture all of the critical facets of a University education. The decision-making and vision for the University of Texas should be established by those who are fully invested in the insti¥tution and have a full understanding of the University experience. Let the president, faculty, administration and, most impor¥tantly, students drive reform and innova¥tion on our campus. It has been said in this debate over and over again that a one-size¥fits-all model will not work for all of the institutions in the UT System. I absolutely believe that is the case and that the size that fits can only be determined by the institu¥tion itself. The degrees from the University of Texas that we are earning mean something. They mean something because the University has a powerful and hard-earned brand of academic excellence. As students, it is in our interest to protect this brand because it ensures the value of our degrees and the number of doors they can open for us in the future. This is a time for students to show the state of Texas what weÕre made of and what we want from our education. We are the thinkers and do-ers and leaders of to¥morrow. We will not let fringe groups test their ideas on our University. I encourage my fellow students to stand up and voice their opinions to those who seek to under¥mine our educations. Check out resources like texaseducationexcellence.org and The Daily Texan to stay updated and get in¥volved. When we cross the stage at gradu¥ation, I want us all to be able to say, ÒMy degree matters.Ó Butler is Student Body President. By Harold Fisch Daily Texan Columnist A new trend is shaking up Texas and has the potential to bring wealth and employment to thousands of Texans and UT graduates. New hydrofracking projects in South Texas have already made millionaires out of dozens of small town farmers, and new drill¥ing projects have the potential to completely reinvigorate the Texas energy industry. Considering the impressive engineering department here at UT (among the best in the world), UT pe¥troleum engineering graduates may be looking at a new field of opportunities. Larger numbers of UT freshmen may also consider the petroleum tract to take advantage of the new industry, and rightfully they should. But petroleum engineers may not be the professionals who receive the most attention; it may be our peers in the smaller hydrogeology program who find themselves in high demand. In the fracking process, drillers shoot high-pressure jets of sand, chemicals and water into the ground to crack sheet-rock and release trapped deposits of crude oil and gas. The technique has spurred a new on-shore drilling boom from Poland to New Zea¥land. Though the technique has been celebrated by the oil indus¥try, environmentalists and wildlife activists naturally have some issues with the trend. Apart from the fact that the process is just another way to ex¥ploit fossil fuels, fracking also uses up a lot more water than more conventional drilling processes. The proposed fracking technique would use water in an area of the state that shares an aquifer with Mexico and that has only received two inches of rain since last October and is experiencing the worst drought in the stateÕs 116 years. An opportunity for UT graduates gallery State government is not helping the issue either, as was evident this past week when the LegislatureÕs attempts at revamping TexasÕ water policy for the state was sidelined over the word Òvested.Ó The new policy would have given local elected officials more au¥tonomy over their cityÕs water supplies. For this industry to thrive, fracking scientists will have to find a good solution to this issue, or we will see the already overwhelm¥ing water crisis in Texas expand exponentially. Exonn Mobil is trying out a process of recycling their frack water, and infrastruc¥ture updates in the region are already on the way. But these solu¥tions will only be short-term. If these energy companies want to continue sucking the life force out of the land of Texas, they are going to have to find a better way to do it. Experts in geology and all things water are going to find themselves front and center in the energy game. The hydrogeology department at UT is a prestigious institu¥tion with well-respected professors and researchers such as Jay Banner, who already has a reputation of positive dealings with policymakers. Moreover, this problem may be a huge opportunity for new hy¥drogeology graduates to work in the field of a massive industry and produce work that will have a powerful impact on peopleÕs lives. Environmentally conscious graduates of UT still mulling over their career options post-graduation shouldnÕt shy away from these new projects. The input of innovative and creative young Texans is needed now more than ever. Young professionals can still participate and push for a more en¥vironmentally friendly and sustainable Texas, and they may now have the opportunity to do it from inside the energy industry Ñ if they can stomach a little fracking.

Ryan Edwards | Daily Texan Staff Funding for the Formula 1 racing event will fall on the race organizers according to a new plan nearing approval in the Austin City Council. City Council close to deal with Formula 1 organizers By Allison Harris Daily Texan Staff The Austin City Council is nearing an agreement with the organizers of Formula 1 regarding how to fund the racing event that will debut in June 2012 if the city approves the plan. City officials say the new deal would require Formula 1 organizers to pay the entire cost and would elim¥inate the use of taxpayer dollars going to support the $4-million-a-year rac¥es. Earlier proposals would have re¥quired Austin taxpayers to foot part of the bill after the first year. Finaliz¥ing a deal with the city will make it possible for Formula 1 organizers to annually receive a $25 million subsi¥dy from the stateÕs Major Events Trust Fund to offset development and program costs. ÒThis is going to be bigger than Austin City Limits and South By Southwest combined as far as eco¥nomic development,Ó said Matt Cur¥tis, communications director for Mayor Lee Leffingwell. ÒWe real¥ly arenÕt going to be financially in¥tertwined with Formula 1, and we would still reap the benefits of hun¥dreds of millions of dollars in direct and indirect profits.Ó The new track, named the Cir¥cuit of the Americas, is currently un¥der construction in southeast Trav¥is County and will host the Formu¥la 1 United States Grand Prix race for 10 years. According to the Circuit of the Americas website, the track is expected to attract an estimated 300,000 fans during race weekends and generate $400 million in revenue through events such as concerts and motorcycle races. Curtis said the Major Events Trust Fund has only been tapped a few times, and putting it toward the rac¥es would be a smart investment. He said several other cities are eager to take advantage of Formula 1 as an economic opportunity if Austin turns down the deal. He said the city will be required to pick up costs such as extra security and trash pickup as it does with any large event, but these costs are minis¥cule compared to the revenue gener¥ated by tourism. ÒThese events bring in a lot of peo¥ple from out of town, and the ma¥jority of them donÕt bring cars,Ó Cur¥tis said. ÒTheyÕre spending a lot of money here, and this is the best kind of money. ItÕs tourism dollars, which means all the money stays in our economy.Ó Tavo Hellmund, Formula 1 Unit¥ed States Grand Prix chairman and Austin native, said in an April press release the new racetrack would boost the local economy throughout the year. The City Council will discuss the final negotiations of whether or not the city will officially endorse Formu¥la 1 at ThursdayÕs meeting. Tovo wins Place 3 seat by wide margin By Katrina Tollin Daily Texan Staff Kathie Tovo was the clear win¥ner of the Austin City Council Place 3 runoff election hours be¥fore the final numbers came in, and a room of excited supporters reveled in celebration and relief. Tovo defeated incumbent Ran¥di Shade, who had held the Place 3 seat since June 2008. In the runoff, Tovo brought in 56.25 percent of the vote to ShadeÕs 43.75 percent. ÒI am going to focus on issues of affordability, on really working with our school district partners to keep our neighborhood schools open and really making sure that I am being responsive to the citi¥zens of Austin,Ó Tovo said. Tovo said sheÕll be making an effort to represent Austinites who wanted to keep Shade in office. ÒI think itÕs going to be real¥ly critical for me to reach out to those who havenÕt supported me and begin to build a relationship there,Ó Tovo said. The runoff between the two Place 3 candidates generated a greater turnout than the general election. In the first race, 7.4 per¥cent of registered voters turned out to the polls, while 9.58 percent voted in the runoff. Tovo received 46.38 percent of the general elec¥tion vote Ñ short of the 50 per¥cent needed to call the race with¥out a runoff. The two candidates both said they care about serving students but differ in their approaches. Shade, an entrepreneur and for¥mer executive director of the Aus¥tin Entrepreneurs Foundation, said she wanted to create a healthy business climate in the hopes that recent graduates find a receptive market for their talents after graduation should they choose to stay in Austin. Tovo, who served as the vice president of the Neighborhood Planning subcommittee and on the Austin Independent School DistrictÕs Community Commit¥tee, said she wants to ensure that affordable housing for stu¥dents is available in all neigh¥borhoods, including the desir- Erika Rich | Daily Texan Staff A crowd of supporters cheer for Kathie Tovo seconds after her victory of the Austin City Council Place 3 runoff election is announced Saturday night at Scholz Beer Garten. able central areas. Tovo received a doctorate in American studies from UT in 2000 and continued as a lectur¥er, teaching classes in writing and womenÕs studies. Shade served as student body president at the Uni¥versity during the 1987-88 school year and graduated from Plan II Honors in 1988 before graduating with an MBA from Harvard. ÒWeÕve made history by get¥ting this many people to turn out in a runoff. WeÕve gotten a lot of people involved that were ob¥viously not interested earlier,Ó Shade said. ÒI think weÕve accom¥plished a lot at City Hall in the last couple years.Ó Tovo won even though she en¥tered the campaign after Shade and had fewer financial resources. She received a total of $238,934 in contributions compared to ShadeÕs $328,416, according to the most recent campaign finance reports filed June 10. TovoÕs contributions includ¥ed $64,129 for her runoff cam¥paign because she opted into AustinÕs Fair Campaign Finance Pledge. Shade did not opt into the program. The purpose of the fund is to provide an incentive to local pol¥iticians to cap their contributions at a certain level in a runoff to avoid high donations from specif¥ic interests, said Danette Chimen¥ti, a volunteer who worked on To¥voÕs campaign finance reports and serves on the cityÕs planning com¥mission. The fund is paid for by a collection of fees which register¥ing lobbyists pay. ÒWe had to go out there and get money from your ordinary citi¥zens, so it was very much a grass¥roots campaign versus a cam¥paign by development interests,Ó Chimenti said. Tovo will take office in an inau¥guration ceremony with re-elected council members Laura Morrison and Chris Riley at City Hall June 28. ShadeÕs last meeting with the council will be this Thursday.

First Bytes entices tech-minded girls By Syeda Hasan Daily Texan Staff A UT summer camp in its ninth year has a track record for bringing women into computer sciences. The Department of Computer Sciences kicked off First Bytes Sum¥mer Camp on Sunday. The free pro¥gram will bring together 60 Texas high school girls this week and ex¥pose them to the field of computer science through activities such as dis¥secting computers, attending presen¥tations by professional computer sci¥entists and visiting St. DavidÕs Hospi¥tal to see the da Vinci surgical robot. Tiffany Grady, assistant director in the Department of Computer Scienc¥es, said there have historically been far fewer women than men in com¥puter science programs across the country, but this year the University has 15 percent more women enter¥ing the department compared to pre¥vious years. ÒI think exposing the girls to the field early has a very strong impact,Ó Grady said. ÒThis year we have 12 girls who attended a prior camp and now are going to be enrolled in the fall.Ó Camp Director Mary Esther Mid¥dleton said the camp aims to en¥courage female students to be open¥minded about the careers they wish to pursue. ing around girls who also enjoy sci¥ence and math,Ó Barnett said.

The lead was 3-0, and Taylor Jungmann, who had yet to give up a hit, would be returning to the mound. Five runs, four walks, three hits, a wild pitch, a hit batter and many poorly placed pitches later, Jungmann was out of the game, Florida had a lead, and the Long¥horns looked out of it. Today is a new day and a new game; one against another tra¥ditional baseball powerhouse in North Carolina. ItÕs hard to resist taking one last look at TexasÕ 8-4 loss to Florida. Though he had lost two straight postseason games before Saturday night, not too many people actually expected Jung¥mannÕs struggles to continue. Against Florida, he looked like a ghost of himself. His pitching mechanics were poor, he couldnÕt consistently repeat his arm an¥gle, he threw seven straight balls at one point and he had no com¥mand of any of his usually nasty breaking pitches. MISTAKES continues on PAGE 9 Andrew Edmonson | Daily Texan Staff Taylor Jungmann, bottom right, gave up four earned runs in the 8-4 loss Saturday to Florida. The starting pitcher was once 13-0, but has lost three consecutive games. By Jon Parrett Daily Texan Staff And so the song remains the same. Texas faces elimination for the 10th time this postsea¥son today against North Caroli¥na in the College World Series. The Longhorns are 8-1 (includ¥ing the Big 12 tournament) with their backs against the wall, but know they have a long road out of their bracket ahead of them; the first stop of which is against the Tar Heels. ÒWe canÕt look ahead. WeÕve got to focus on North Carolina and move on from there,Ó said short¥stop Brandon Loy. ÒItÕs a tough situation weÕre in, but weÕve been in these situations the last couple of weeks, and this team is built for it.Ó The Longhorns know they didnÕt play their best against Flor¥ida, and will look to limit their mistakes against the Tar Heels. ÒFlorida capitalized a lot on our mistakes that we made with walks, or whatever it might be with errors,Ó said third baseman Erich Weiss. ÒThey deserved to win because they capitalized on it, but weÕre just going to have to learn from our mistakes when we play North Carolina.Ó The Tar Heels have seven left¥handers in their lineup, led by switch-hitting shortstop and [BRACKET 1] first-round draft pick Levi Mi¥chael. The number of lefties has prompted Texas head coach Augie Garrido to consider starting left¥hander Sam Stafford rather than senior right-hander Cole Green.

Ñ Michael Roth pitched into the eighth inning with¥out allowing an earned run for South Carolina and Scott Wingo went 4-for¥4, including a walk-off single to beat Texas A&M 5-4 Sunday in the College World Series. The Aggies began the game on fire by scoring four runs in the top of the first inning. Tyler Naquin reached first safely on a throwing error to lead off and scored three batters later on a sin¥gle from Jacob House. Brandon Wood came to bat later in the inning with bases loaded and slapped a triple that scored three runs to put the Aggies up four after half a frame. ÒThe game couldnÕt have started any better for us Ñ we scored four runs and were on a roll,Ó said Texas A&M head coach Rob Childress. ÒThen the nerves got to us and we made some mistakes.Ó Texas A&MÕs defense did not play any better than South CarolinaÕs in the bottom of the inning as Aggie start¥er Ross Stripling allowed the first three Gamecocks to reach base. Stripling then balked to score a runner, and sec¥ond baseman Andrew Collazo over¥threw first base, allowing two more scoring runs. The Gamecocks added another run on an infield single from Peter Mooney to tie the game.

But Green has caught fire the past month, and is argu¥ably pitching the best for Texas when it counts the most. ÒIÕve learned a lot and itÕs been a humbling year,Ó Green said. ÒI had to set goals not based upon results.Ó For Green to be successful against CarolinaÕs left-handed batters, he needs to establish his fastball and throw a lot of strikes early in the count. Green is 2-0 in four post¥season appearances this year, including a five-inning out¥ing against Arizona State in an elimination game of the Super Regional. Green started the final game of the 2009 College World Se¥ries, when Texas lost to LSU. He said he will use what he learned in the loss to LSU, and that pitching doesnÕt get any tougher than what he went through in 2009. ÒThis is what he came back for. HeÕs a leader on this team, and heÕs done everything he can to put us in a position to win,Ó Loy said. ÒCole is definitely the guy we want out there.Ó Pitching propels Cavaliers to 4-1 win Hicks sent a liner into center to score Werman before ProsciaÕs sacrifice fly. Virginia added to the lead in the eighth on Jared KingÕs RBI triple and WermanÕs run-scor¥ing single. Cal finished sixth in the Pac¥10 and was a surprise CWS qualifier after the school admin¥istration threatened to drop the program next year. A $9 mil¥lion fundraising effort saved the program. Virginia is trying to win the Atlantic Coast ConferenceÕs first national title in baseball since Wake Forest 56 years ago. MISTAKES continues from PAGE 7 ÒAround the third inning I got out of rhythm and made some bad pitches,Ó Jungmann said. ÒI walked a lot of people and thatÕs something I donÕt usually do.Ó Head coach Augie Garrido joked that Jung¥mann being given a three-run lead screwed ev¥erything up, because ÒheÕs not supposed to have run supportÓ Ñ a tongue-in-cheek reference to TexasÕ offensive struggles. There was still a chance even after Jungmann departed the game, as the Longhorns were be¥hind just one run. Andrew McKirahan and Na¥than Thornhill struggled in relief, combining to give up three runs. Kendal CarrilloÕs perfor¥mance was a bright spot, who went 1.1 innings without giving up a hit. But danger lurks in ev¥ery spot of FloridaÕs powerful lineup, and Texas could not have afforded any pitching struggles. ÒWe played a below-average game against a very good team and they had the ability to capital¥ize on it and penalize us severely,Ó Garrido said. The Longhorns scored four runs Saturday night, but three of them were flukes. The first two hitters of the third inning reached base on errors, and the team only had two hits in the inning. FloridaÕs starting pitcher Hudson Ran¥dall buckled down, at one point retiring 10 straight hitters. ÒOnce he got the lead back, he became more competitive and found his rhythm,Ó Garrido said. ÒHe took charge of the game.Ó Against a shirking strike zone, Randall was able to throw three different pitches for strikes. ÒHeÕs been good all year. He throws a lot of strikes,Ó Brandon Loy said.

ASSOC. PROPERTY OF THE YEAR! Pointsouthbridgehollow.com By Rachel Perlmutter Daily Texan Staff In between the transition from lead guitarist of indie band Rilo Kiley to center stage with his own band, The Elected, singer-song¥writer Blake Sennett found a light¥er-hearted perspective on music. Despite his two-year break from the music industry, Sen¥nettÕs latest album Bury Me in My Rings is laced with what he is best known for Ñ not-too-sweet lyrics on conventions of love, smooth, poppy beats and a whis¥pery voice. While in town for the bandÕs concert at EmoÕs last Friday, Sen¥nett met with the Texan to dis¥cuss his musical hiatus, his latest album and child acting career on ÒBoy Meets World.Ó DT: This is your first album since you kind of, well, left the music world in 2010. So what inspired you to come back? Blake Sennett: I think I missed it. I think I did a lot of soul searching. Also, I was excited to try things with this fresh perspec¥tive that I think IÕve been able to cultivate over the last two-and-a¥half years. DT: Why did you decide to leave in the first place? BS: I think I was disappoint¥ed. I felt a little stagnant, a little stale spiritually and emotionally. If youÕre around the same people for years it can make you a lit¥tle, well, bitter and weird. I didnÕt want to be like that. I needed to step away from everything and see what that felt like and expe¥rience that perspective. DT: So how is Bury Me In My Rings different from previous albums by The Elected? BS: I think itÕs a lot less self¥conscious. ItÕs a lot more stream of consciousness. I tried to fo¥cus more on narrative and story arc in songs versus on the last re¥ cord, or really the last two re¥cords, where I wrote a little more abstractly and a little more from pain probably. DT: YouÕre also the lead gui¥tarist of Rilo Kiley. What was the transition like to The Elected? BS: ItÕs a little more stressful. You canÕt just wing it, you have to have a lot more focus. When youÕre playing guitar behind that person you donÕt feel it as much when shows go bad or even when it goes well. You take shows a lot more personally. DT: Okay! A few less serious questions. WhatÕs the strangest thing to happen at one of your shows? BS: I think the first time at a Rilo Kiley show that a kid peeled back his sleeve and showed a big Rilo Kiley tattoo on his forearm, I think that was pretty weird for me. DT: Cool or creepy? BS: ItÕs a lot of pressure! Some¥one inks up for you and itÕs on their body for life. You donÕt want them to regret it. Like I loved Primus so much when I was younger, but if I had a Primus tattoo on my forearm now I would be like ÒWEIRD.Ó DT: Have you ever Googled yourself? BS: Oh, yeah. Definitely. Not for a long time, though. I donÕt really like doing it. DT: Well I have, and Ñ BS: Googled yourself? DT: No, Googled you! And you were on ÒBoy Meets World,Ó something children of the Õ90s like myself find very exciting. So what was your character? BS: I was a bully, Joey the rat, for about 20 episodes. DT: What was your favorite episode? BS: There was one where I had to do some wrestling, and a pro¥wrestler came in to show us how to do some of those body slams and stuff. It was pretty awesome. I think I was wrestling Ben Savage (Corey Matthews) in the show. DT: Did you win? BS: Oh no, heÕs a hero Ñ IÕm pretty sure he beat me. Bury Me in My Rings The Elected Genre: American indie rock Tracks: 12 For those who like: Fleetwood Mac, Tilly and the Wall, Thao & Mirah MYPLATE continues from PAGE 12 the nuances of choosing the right food and knowing whatÕs in them is too complex to be boiled down into a simple graphic. The original design, created in 1992 and the most familiar to young people, has been maligned by health experts, such as Har¥vard nutritionist Dr. Walter Wil¥let (a longtime critic of the US¥DAÕs health guidelines), for being too vague and not based on the most up-to-date science. The re¥vamped pyramid created in 2005, called MyPyramid, was essentially the same as the previous pyramid, just turned on its side. MyPyramid featured an even more abstract de¥sign Ñ most public displays did not even include pictures of food. MyPyramid also included a stairs element alongside the pyramid that is supposed to symbolize the need for physical activity, but the ambi¥guity of the design made it difficult to convey that information. Willet and the Harvard School of Public Health (where he is the chair of the department of nutri¥tion) have been critical of the food pyramid and its incoherence, lack of current data and heavy influence from the food industry. That influ¥ence that is difficult to ignore be¥cause the food pyramids and My-Plate were created in conjunction with the Department of Agricul¥ture, which is responsible for the advocacy of U.S. food producers. While the influence may not be as overt in MyPlate, it still doesnÕt do enough to provide the infor¥mation most people need to make good decisions about the food they eat. While itÕs easy to see why the USDA and the first lady wanted to streamline the process of choos¥ing your food as much as possi¥ble for Americans with busy lives, MyPlate may be too simplified. Based purely on the visual of the plate, it would seem that, as long as you fulfill the proper portions requirement, anything you choose is fair game: thereÕs no differentia¥tion as to whatÕs best within in each food group. For example, while MyPlate rec¥ommends about a fourth of your plate consist of protein, not all pro¥teins are created equally and some are healthier than others. Harvard outlines how red and processed meats are unhealthy compared to proteins such as fish, poultry and beans. Despite years of scientific re¥search and reporting, there contin¥ues to be a disparity between what we know to be healthy and the ac¥tual quality of the food we produce. A paper, published in the Ameri¥can Journal of Preventative Med¥icine in 2010 and conducted by doctors from the National Cancer Institute, concluded that the quali¥ty of the current U.S. food supply is insufficient to meet federal recom¥mendations. This information is all readily available, but often densely packed. The Internet is filled with helpful and relevant health information, but as the first lady notes, most people donÕt have the time or inter¥est to track that information down and implement it. Graphics like MyPlate are created for their ease of use and understanding. While the goals of MyPlate are well-intentioned and admirable, it glosses over crucial information about dietary health. The easiest way to communicate what foods are healthy may not be in a color¥ful graph or chart, but in old-fash¥ioned education. In a 2008 study published in the Journal of School Health, middle school students in¥structed in a comprehensive healthy lifestyle education program showed improvement in their eating behav¥iors and perhaps most promising¥ly, the kids felt more confident in their ability to eat healthily.

On the other hand, people who do not, and proudly so, do not participate, tend to do that at their own risk.Ó These are the people who have found that taking that risk is not that big a deal, he said Ñ or so they claim. ÒIn other words, their ignorance is their bliss. But at the same time, these are probably some of the peo¥ple that complain that nobody calls them,Ó he said. Those who are without a Face¥book or late to join the bandwag¥on are called ÒlaggardsÓ in academic terms, Sylvie said. ÒTheyÕre the last, shall we say, 5 to 10 percent of people to adopt. Now there are always laggards for every type of technology Ñ would you be¥lieve that not everybody has a tele¥phone? And theyÕre doing fine. For their purposes theyÕve got other ways of communication,Ó he said. ÒYou have to realize that Facebook is not the only way to communicate. People have other ways. There are all kinds of reasons that people donÕt keep up with technology development.Ó ComScore, an Internet market¥ing research company that provides data and services to Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo, report¥ed that 693 million unique visitors worldwide (ages 15 years or older) visited Facebook in March this year, up 43 percent from the same month in 2010. Recent disputed reports de¥clare Facebook growth is slowing down in the U.S., but the site still saw about 157.2 million unique U.S. visitors in May. Data gathered by Wedbush Secu¥rities Inc. and reported in January by Business Insider found that for the 2,500 Facebook non-users over 18 years of age surveyed, the No. 1 reason for not participating was because they saw Facebook as a Òwaste of time.Ó Pri¥vacy concerns were the second-most cited reason, followed by Òno timeÓ and ÒdonÕt know how to use it.Ó This correlates with the reasons that some UT students gave for not using Facebook. ÒI was using it every day Ñ very, very often,Ó said Aaron Lee, who graduated from UT last year with a degree in economics. ÒThatÕs why I came to the realization that I wasted a lot of time on it. I felt like Facebook was consuming me because I was on it all the time. I mean, I have an iP¥hone and I have a computer and I work on a computer at work, so I was constantly on Facebook all day long. It was too much of a distraction.Ó Lee, who stopped using Facebook in January, doesnÕt know anybody else who doesnÕt use Facebook, but he said that sacrificing the event invites and friendsÕ photos, which Lee considers benefits of the site, doesnÕt really mat¥ter to him or anyone else he knows. ÒPeople would tell me ÔIÕll just con¥tact you via Facebook,Õ and IÕd tell them that I donÕt have one and and theyÕd be like, ÔOh, but why?Õ and would say that itÕs kind of weird be¥cause itÕs become such a norm now,Ó Lee said. ÒWhat IÕve experienced so far, they donÕt really seem like they care too much. They just get my phone number.Ó Madelyn Deyoung, a biology ju¥nior, has never had a Facebook. ÒPart of me thinks that itÕs a waste of time,Ó Deyoung said. ÒEveryone sits down and stares at pictures of oth¥er people. You make lots of friends, but the whole thing kind of stunk. I had Myspace before and sometimes people would spend hours on there. I donÕt understand why, I donÕt think of it as a necessity. I donÕt want a lot of random people trying to be my friend on Facebook. I think thatÕs re¥ally strange. ItÕs not always sincere whenever youÕre saying hello.Ó Deyoung said that sheÕll probably get a Facebook in the future in order to keep in touch with friends and stay updated with clubs, but for right now, sheÕs fine with not having it. ÒSome people think [people who donÕt use Facebook] are weird, but I donÕt see why,Ó Deyoung said. ÒI al¥ways thought that I shouldnÕt have to have Facebook to keep in touch with the people IÕm friends with. I feel like if a person says ÔheyÕ to you on Face¥book, it takes less than a second, but if they take the time to call you then it kind of means something more. They really want to talk to you, theyÕre not just bored on Facebook.Ó SUDOKUFORYOU 2 8 7 8 5 4 3 5 9 4 6 5 7 2 3 7 1 6 7 8 3 2 5 2 1 1 4 6 9 1 YesterdayÕs solution OKU YOU 7 2 1 6 8 9 3 4 2 5 4 8 2 3 7 6 9 1 6 9 3 5 4 1 7 8 2 8 3 2 7 1 6 9 5 4 1 5 6 8 9 4 2 3 7 9 7 4 3 5 2 1 6 8 3 1 5 9 2 8 4 7 6 4 8 7 1 6 3 5 2 9 2 6 9 4 7 5 8 1 3 12 LIFE&ARTS Monday, June 20, 2011 | THE DAILY TEXAN | Julie Rene Tran, Life&Arts Editor | (512) 232-2209 | dailytexan@gmail.com Photo illustration by Allen Otto | Daily Texan Staff Even with more than 500 million active members, FacebookÕs users only make up approximately 8 percent of the worldÕs population. Some refuse to use the social network because of privacy concerns or disinterest. Friends without Facebook By Aaron West Daily Texan Staff Living in a city that embrac¥es technology the way Austin does can make Facebook and other social networking tools seem ubiquitous. Obama has a Facebook. Bill Pow¥ers has a Facebook. The guy Òtaking notesÓ in class on his laptop probably has one, and he probably has it open right now. Facebook currently has more than 600 million users worldwide, and for many of them Ñ especially in the U.S., where there are about 150.5 mil¥lion users Ñ having a Facebook pro¥file feels as normal as owning a cell phone. But for the rest, the social net¥working behemoth isnÕt necessarily a great fit. Statistics regarding the num¥ber of people who donÕt have Face¥book profiles werenÕt available, but considering the U.S. population in 2010 was 308.7 million, according to the most recent census, it can be as¥sumed more than half the country doesnÕt have a Facebook. They might just be a little hard to get a hold of. ÒIn time, Facebook will become as passe as oh, Netscape [Navigator] or surfing on the web is now thanks to apps on phones,Ó said George Sylvie, an associate professor of journalism. ÒIn a way, [people who donÕt use Fa¥cebook] are smart in that this too shall pass as it pertains to being a trend or FACEBOOK continues on PAGE 10 Facebook usage in the United States Illustration by Simonetta Nieto MyPlate guidelines visually attractive, lacking information By Aleksander Chan Daily Texan Staff Earlier this month, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and first lady Michelle Obama un¥veiled MyPlate, a national nu¥tritional guideline that would replace the food pyramid sign.
