Ñ Two U.S. sena¥tors said Sunday they will ask fed¥eral authorities to crack down on a secretive narcotics market operat¥ed on the Internet with anonymous sales and untraceable currency. Heroin, cocaine and metham¥phetamines are among the drugs being sold on the well-protected website which has apparently been operating for just a few months. Sens. Charles Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Vir¥ginia, both Democrats, said they asked the Justice Department and Drug Enforcement Administration to shut down and investigate the web¥site, often referred to as the Silk Road after an ancient Asian trade route. ÒNever before has a website so brazenly peddled illegal drugs on¥line,Ó Schumer said. ÒBy cracking down on the website immediately, we can help stop these drugs from flooding our streets.Ó Schumer said the website be¥gan operating in February and uses ÒlayersÓ of secrecy to thwart author¥ities.

Hopeful 2012 GOP candidates court religious right for support WASHINGTON Ñ A Washing¥ton gathering of religious conserva¥tives did something this weekend a South Carolina Republican de¥bate and a well-publicized forum in New Hampshire couldnÕt do a few weeks ago. It drew nearly all the GOP pres¥idential hopefuls to one stage. The Faith and Freedom CoalitionÕs two¥day conference proved that the re¥ligious right still plays a major role in the partyÕs nominating process, even if itÕs somewhat less organized than it was in the Christian Coali¥tionÕs heyday, and even if economic issues are dominating the run-up to the 2012 elections. Most of the candidates spent more time on fiscal issues than on spiritual matters on the opening day of the conference Friday. But they generally portrayed the feder¥al debt and health care policies as moral concerns. And in subtle and unsubtle ways, they paid tribute to religious con¥servatives who often place abortion, gay marriage and other social is¥sues ahead of questions such as tax¥es and spending. Ñ Compiled by Asscociated Press reports rethink that advice. In the wake of the federal gov¥ernmentÕs announcement that it will no longer defend a law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman and a court ruling raising questions about the law, some immigrant advocates have suggested that gay couples fight¥ing deportation apply for a green card in a final effort to stay in the country. But the small group of couples already facing deportation has lit¥tle to lose by ap- By Christopher Bodeen The Associated Press BEIJING Ñ Chinese securi¥ty forces rounded up more gov¥ernment critics ahead of Satur¥dayÕs anniversary of the crush¥ing of the 1989 pro-democracy movement centered on BeijingÕs Tiananmen Square, adding to an already harsh crackdown on dis¥sent, activists said. The Foreign Ministry, mean¥while, lashed out at the U.S. gov¥ernment over calls for a full ac¥counting of the military assault on civilians 22 years ago, saying the issue was closed. Bao served a prison sentence following the military crackdown, while Zhao, his former boss, was deposed for sympathizing with the protesters and lived out his life under house arrest in Beijing. Calls to BaoÕs home rang unan¥swered Saturday. Chen Ziming, whose liber¥al think tank sought to mediate between the students and Com¥munist Party leaders, was told he would not be permitted to leave home before June 10, the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said. A number of other activists have been warned not to leave home, issue statements, or speak to media, according to the two groups. Twenty-two years later, few young Chinese remember the events that marked the last pop¥ular challenge to Communist rule in the country. The decades since have seen the economy boom and the Communist Par¥ty relinquish much of its day-to¥day control over many areas of society while still making no sig¥nificant moves toward changing the one-party authoritarian po¥litical system. The Chinese government has never fully disclosed what hap¥pened when the military crushed the weekslong Tiananmen pro¥tests, which it branded a Òcoun¥terrevolutionary riot.Ó Hundreds, possibly more, were killed when troops backed with tanks fought their way to the square into central Beijing on the night of June 3-4. In Hong Kong, tens of thou¥sands of people held aloft candles to mark the anniversary in a large park, turning six soccer fields into a sea of light. Democracy activists laid a wreath at a makeshift memori¥al and bowed three times in cus¥tomary Chinese mourning tradi¥tion. Crowds watched video mes¥sages from Ding Zilin and Wang Dan, one of the 1989 movementÕs leading voices.

Your lifeÕs work up to this point and your hopes for the future de¥mand that you rise above it. Would you dedicate your¥self to the task, embarking on a years-long journey of character-building and personal growth? Or would you just lower the bar? During the current session, state legislators have passed a bill that will modify the current formula in place for dividing state funding for Texas institutions of higher learning. While not directly Òlowering the bar,Ó the new system creates a dangerous regulatory environ¥ment with the potential to degrade the quality of educa¥tion offered by those institutions. Currently, the formula for state funding for Texas col¥leges and universities is based on the number of credit hours undertaken at each institution. Essentially, fund¥ing is driven primarily by enrollment. House Bill 9, also called the Higher Education Out-comes-Based Funding Act, passed the State House of Representatives by a vote of 118 to 22 and was unani¥mously passed by the Senate. The bill will modify the current formula for funding Texas higher education to allow for 10 percent of state funding to be determined by Òoutcome-basedÓ metrics Ñ namely, graduation rates. Lawmakers such as State Sen. Judith Zaffarini, D-Laredo, have argued that doing so would incentiv¥ize college and university officials to prioritize gradu¥ation rates. Somehow, administrators would take this shift in funding and change their policies to encourage more students to graduate. As if that were not already the goal. On the surface, this change would seem to be a rea¥sonable reform intended to create a better formula that would reward the schools for performing well. Texas ranks critically low when it comes to the percentage of residents with college degrees, with only 33 percent of Texans holding a bachelorÕs degree. Motivating Texas colleges and universities to help their students complete their degree plan serves both students and institutions. Meanwhile, such a Òoutcomes-basedÓ formula would seem to put added pressures on university administra¥tors during a time when legislators from both sides of the aisle are calling for greater accountability. However, those very pressures have the potential to be far more corrosive to the quality of Texas higher edu¥cation than any funding reduction or partisan reform. Laying off professors and increasing class sizes is one problem. But modifying whole degree plans out of bud¥getary concerns is antithetical to this UniversityÕs mis¥sion and would reduce our school to a university of the second-class, at best. Furthermore, while higher educa¥tion ÒreformersÓ have been harping about the need to increase graduation rates for years, this latest measure comes troubling close to echoing the rhetoric trumpet¥ing ÒefficiencyÓ and ÒproductivityÓ that has consumed the discussion on Texas higher education for most of this past spring. The danger here being that a Òproduc¥tiveÓ university, one which regularly churns out diplo¥mas, is not always equivalent to a good university, one which actually educates its students. In the short term, the new system could actually be beneficial to the University. UT has the highest four-year graduation rate in the state and the second highest six¥year graduation rate. Still, the UniversityÕs six-year rate is 83.5 percent, making it one of the lowest among schools in the ÒU.S. NewsÕÓ annual Top 50 ranking. If that trend were to continue, then one in five of next fallÕs incoming class of 2015 will leave the Forty Acres without a diploma. While lagging graduation rates certainly merit attention, tying those rates to state funding has the potential to cre¥ate a conflict of interests for University officials. On one hand, Texas universities are in desperate need of any additional funding, so administrators have strong incentives to boost their graduation rates. On the other, those same administrators have an obligation to educate students and provide a quality education. So, strapped for cash, the quickest and simplest way for a Texas university president to increase his or her schoolÕs graduation rates would be to modify and lessen the requirements for graduation. That could mean re¥ducing degree requirements or lowering the threshold for what constitutes a ÒpassingÓ grade. And, thatÕs ex¥actly the type of short-selling that many Texas profes¥sors fear will occur once funding is tied to grad rates. The Texas Faculty Association has come out against the bill, voicing concerns that faculty will be forced to compromise their schoolsÕ academic integrity in order to boost graduation rates. Critics of the bill have also warned that it would disincentivise schools from ac¥cepting students who are less likely to graduate in six years, such as non-traditional students and students from low-income families. The danger in subscribing to these Òoutcome-basedÓ measures is that all too often, the actual outcomes do not change at all. Lowering standards to create the illu¥sion of progress would be a disservice to future Texans. Coupled with the current batch of crippling budget cuts to K-12 public education, it seems that state lawmakers are more concerned with making sure the next genera¥tion of Texans are ÒeducatedÓ in name only, even if that ÒeducationÓ is delivered via public policy and slipping standards, rather than hard work and merit.

They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Re¥gents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees. gallery Davis should be applauded By susannah Jacob Daily Texan Guest Columnist During a telephone interview this week, state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-FortWorth, attempted to squeeze into asingle sentence why she cares so much about Texas education. She came up with this: ÒAn education is the only way a poor kid stops being a poorkid.Ó Davis has staked her political reputa¥tion on the issue of education. Two Sundays ago, she attracted the spot¥light when she filibustered a schoolfinance bill by standing on the Senatefloor for more than an hour until the clock struck midnight and the bill died with the end of the session (if only to resurrect itself during a special legisla¥tive session now underway, which Gov. Rick Perry called for after DavisÕfilibuster). For her filibuster, Davispassed the time by reading lettersfrom constituents Ñ school principals, teachers and parents. Their missivespleaded with Davis, asking her to stick up for their schools and advocatefor use of the so-called ÒRainy Day Fund,Ó a pot of money from oil and gas taxes, to spare education budgetsfrom the axe. Davis has also proposed taking money earmarked for the gov¥ernorÕs pet projects for corporations asanother way of saving school districtsfrom the cutbacks that a historic state budget shortfall appear to make im¥minent. In the final analysis, DavisÕ filibustermay not prevent what she views aspermanent damage to the way the statefinances Texas public schools. Butby reading those letters late into thenight, Davis wrenched not only stateand national attention in her direction but also drew the wrath of Perry, who wound up sounding peevish days afterhe had tentatively put a baby toe in the water as a presidential contender. In response to DavisÕ soliloquy on the Senate floor, Perry remarked, Ò[Davis] raised a hurdle. ThatÕs her call, and IÕm sure members of the Legislaturethat will be back here in special ses¥sion will have appropriate things to say to her for that.Ó DavisÕs commitment to Texas educa¥tion relates to the story of her own life, an impressive and inspiring tale. One of four siblings, she was raised by a single mom in Fort Worth who worked for an hourly wage at aBraumÕs Ice Cream & Dairy Store. Davis attended a large high school butseemed destined for a bleak future. As she tells the story in a video posted on¥line for Generation Texas, a campaign by the Texas Higher Education Coordi¥nating Board to mobilize communitiesto send more students to college, theone guidance counselor at her high school had little time or resources to give her guidance. She was Òone ofthose kids who just fell through thecracks,Ó Davis said. By the time shewas 19, she was divorced and herself asingle mom. ÒI was living in a mobile homein southeast Fort Worth, and I wasdestined to live the life I watched my mother live,Ó she said. Instead, Davis enrolled in a paralegaltraining program at Tarrant County College, where, as she put it, ÒIlearned I wanted to be the lawyer, notthe lawyerÕs assistant.Ó While waiting tables, Davis con¥tinued at Tarrant County College and applied and received a full scholarship to Texas Christian University. After graduating, she was accepted to Har¥vard Law School. From this background, she drew thefire to fight for education. She has atrack record of advocating for usefullegislation and authored a bill thatrequires incoming students to get vac¥cinated against bacterial meningitis. She said she filibustered the school finance bill because Òit was advancing a school funding formula which willpermanently remove $4 billion fromschools commitment to education Ñ a formula that will forever be in place.Ó Increased property taxes will be called to fill the gap, she argues, an unrealistic and unworkable outcome for many districts of the state, includ¥ing her own. Her proposed alternative:Take money from the The Emerg¥ing Technology Fund, which Perry has control over and has doled out to companies linked to his campaign contributors. In a special legislative session, theRepublicans have even more opportu¥nities than they do in a regular session to use their majority power to domi¥nate the Democratic minority. Hence, DavisÕ delay that led to the specialsession may lead to an education bill with harsher cutbacks for school districts. But Davis managed with her high-profile stand-down Ñ and highlighting of PerryÕs plans to strip from schools instead of from his petprojects Ñ ensures that during the hotrhetoric of future political battles, per¥haps even national ones, Perry will geta healthy share of blame when studentperformance at Texas schools drops asthe dollars spent on educating them aredrained away.

Changes to the street will include back-in angle parking, improved bike lanes, 90 additional parking spaces and handicapped parking spaces. The project will cause traffic delays until at least mid-July. Schruben said the new back-in angle parking, which is similar to the parking setup on parts of Dean Keeton Street, will make parking on the street much safer. ÒItÕs actually easier and faster, and then when you get out you can see everything and itÕs safer,Ó Schruben said. In the first phase of the project, lane closures will affect the area south of Annie Street to Oltorf, then gradually move farther north in stages until the project is completed. At least one lane will be open in each direction at all times, taking into consideration traffic patterns, Schruben said. On-street parking will be IÕve had the opportunity to have smaller classes.

A 25.9-percent cut to the budget for the Center for WomenÕs and Gender Studies meant the center lost funding to pay many adjunct professors, in¥cluding Weddington. Michelle Bryant, an assistant di¥rector of public affairs, said there was much support at the Univer¥sity from students, colleagues and friends of Weddington for her re¥turn, and the dean was glad to re¥instate her to the position. ÒThe dean made funding this position a priority, and he person¥ally called to invite Ms. Wedding¥ton to return,Ó Bryant said. ÒThe position will be funded through the College of Liberal ArtsÕ cen¥tral administration, and the class will be administered by the gov¥ernment department.Ó Bryant said Weddington has been offered a year-long contract, the same as that of all UT pro¥fessors, and that she will be paid the standard part-time rate of $40,450. Weddington said she will teach her Gender-Based Discrimination course in the fall, but her plans for the 2012 spring semester are still up in the air. ÒRandy Diehl said he would like for me to teach a much larger class in the spring with a teaching assis¥tant,Ó Weddington said. Robert Hutchings, dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pub¥lic Affairs, approached Wedding¥ton about teaching classes in the spring, Weddington said. She will meet with Hutchings next week. Weddington said she never fo¥cused on retirement or found it particularly interesting, and teach¥ing at the LBJ school would be a reason to stay at the University for an even longer period of time. Susan Heinzelman, director of the Center for WomenÕs and Gen¥der Studies was the first to notify Weddington that there would no longer be funding for her to con¥tinue teaching. Heinzelman said she is a tremendous supporter of WeddingtonÕs work and she is glad Weddington was asked back to the University.

UTeach developer named dean of Natural Sciences Award-winning professor plans to continue support of programs for students By Huma Munir Daily Texan Staff David Laude will take over as the interim dean for the College of Natu¥ral Sciences in August. Laude, a distinguished professor and senior associate dean for academic af¥fairs, received the ap¥pointment last week. He will replace Mary Ann Rankin, who was dean for 17 years, in August. Rankin worked with Laude to develop several pro¥grams such as UTeach and the Freshman Research Initiative, Laude said. As an administra¥tor, he plans on using the full ex¥tent of his power to keep these pro¥grams going, he said. Laude received his doctorate in analytical chemistry at the Univer¥sity of California at Riverside in 1984 and became an assistant pro¥fessor of chemistry at UT in 1987. He has received several teaching awards, including the Jean Hollo¥way Award for Teaching Excellence and William David Blunk Memo¥rial Professorship, according to a press release. Working with students is LaudeÕs passion, he said. It is tremendous¥ly satisfying to educate students and watch them become successful and achieve their goals, Laude said. ÒThat is really what our job is,Ó he said. ÒI enjoy teaching so much.Ó Laude has been in¥strumental in transform¥ing the academic envi¥ronment at the college by creating mentoring and support programs for students, said Sacha Kopp, associate dean of the college and an associate professor. ÒThere are a lot of re¥sources at a major uni¥ versity [like UT] and [Laude] thinks very creatively to bring the resources to undergradu¥ate education,Ó Kopp said. Kopp said in his interactions with the future interim dean, Kopp has found Laude to be deeply con¥cerned with studentsÕ academic and personal success. By Victoria Pagan Daily Texan Staff Vice president for university operations Pat Clubb flipped an enormous green switch Thursday, celebrating the UniversityÕs newly completed solar panel project at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus. A $1.6 million grant from the State Energy Conservation Office funded most of the $2 million, three-month project, which con¥sists of two arrays of panels locat¥ed on opposite sides of the cam¥pus. It is capable of producing just over 400,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy yearly. Com¥bined, the arrays make up AustinÕs largest solar panel system. Clubb said she was glad when Steve Kraal Sr., associate vice president for campus planning and facilities management, finally set the project in motion. ÒA couple of years ago if you would have said something about sustainability to Steve he would have said ÔYes I support it,Õ but there was nothing that could re¥ally be done until recently,Ó Clubb said. ÒThis project will now save 300 tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted.Ó He said projects such as this one allow the University to serve as a learning laboratory for stu¥dents, teachers and the commu¥nity as a whole. She said the proj¥ect is just one of the UniversityÕs first steps toward helping both the environment and generations to come. The solar panels were con¥tracted by Jamail & Smith Con¥struction and sub-contracted by the Texas Solar Power Company of Austin. Texas Solar Power Company of Austin general manager and UT alumnus Mark Rangel said he was glad to work on the project because it helped the communi¥ty environmentally, economically and socially. ÒThis project will generate 42 homes worth of power each year,Ó Rangel said. ÒIt was emotion¥al to see that we are actually put¥ting people to work, and I actu¥ally feel like IÕm getting some of my tuition back from the Univer¥sity of Texas.Ó Associate director of facili¥ties services Juan Nunez said the project hit a few hurdles but over¥all was a great success. He said the greatest extent of project issues came from days of bad weath¥er and parts not being delivered on time. Nunez said he was satisfied with the work of the contractors and their ability to meet the dead¥line they originally set. ÒWe said we would be generat¥ing power by May 31 so that ev¥erything could be inspected and tested and it was ready,Ó Nunez said. ÒWhat was impressive is that we didnÕt need a shutdown of the building to start generating power like we had originally thought.Ó Nunez said electricity use and generated power at the campus will be monitored daily and in¥spectors will be able to know im¥mediately if any problems arise.

Texas won twice on Sunday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field to force an elimination game tonight with Kent State in the Austin Regional. Texas beat Texas State 4-3 in the afternoon and followed with a 9-3 win over Kent State. ÒI think the purpose of the first loss was to challenge the players to find their inner baseball player in¥side of them to come up to anoth¥er level,Ó said Texas head coach Au¥gie Garrido. ÒAnd now they have ex¥perienced it.Ó The Longhorns got off to a hot start against Kent State, tallying three runs in the first inning. They only scored five runs in their loss to the Golden Flashes on Saturday. ÒFrom top to bottom, it was a great effort by our lineup,Ó said Texas first baseman Tant Shepherd. Ò[The ear¥ly runs] make pitching a lot easier, it gets momentum on our side, and itÕs huge for us.Ó Shepherd led off the game with a walk, and scored two batters later on a single from Brandon Loy. Erich Weiss followed with a single and he and Loy stole bases to reach scoring position. Paul Montalbano and Jona¥than Walsh later drove them in. It wasnÕt just the bats that were working for Texas. Counting hit¥by-pitches, steals and walks, Kent State surrendered 14 baserunners to the Longhorns. ÒYou canÕt give them bases,Ó said Kent State head coach Scott Strick¥lin. ÒWhen you do that against Texas, they are going to beat you. You have to play solid baseball to beat them, and we didnÕt do that.Ó Shepherd stole second base in the fourth inning and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Mark Payton, his second of the game.

NBA FINALS Heat survive late run to win Game 3 By Jaime Aron The Associated Press DALLAS Ñ The Miami Heat didnÕt blow this one. Now theyÕre just two wins from being crowned NBA champions. Chris Bosh made a 16-foot, go¥ahead jumper from the baseline with 39.6 seconds left and the Heat held on for an 88-86 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals. Recent history says this is a huge win for the Heat. The Game 3 win¥ner in a tied finals has won the championship all 11 times since the 2-3-2 format began in 1985. Miami got into this tight of a se¥ries by blowing a 15-point lead in the last quarter of Game 2. The Heat already had wasted a 14-point lead in this game when they went back ahead 81-75 with 6:31 left. They knew Dirk Nowitzki would drive DallasÕ rally, but he burned them anyway for 12 straight points Ñ six free throws, a layup, a dunk and a tough jumper. But after BoshÕs clutch shot, NowitzkiÕs streak ran out. He tried passing out of a double team and threw the ball away, then hit the back iron on a jump¥er at the buzzer. ÒThis is a total win,Ó said Dw¥yane Wade, who led Miami with 29 points and 11 rebounds. ÒYou want to win the game on the de¥fensive end of the floor and we got a stop.Ó The Heat go into Game 4 on Tuesday night with a chance to do what they did in 2006: win it all on DallasÕ floor. TheyÕll need to win that game and the next, on Thursday night. Bosh, a Dallas native who had been 0-8 in his hometown, over¥came a swollen left eyelid caused by a poke during the first quarter to score 18 points. He had seven in the fourth quarter. LeBron James added 17 points and nine assists. But he also had four turnovers, including a pair during the fourth quarter that helped bring Dallas back. Mario Chalmers added 12. Udonis Haslem had only six points, but his tough defense on the final two possessions saved the Heat. When NowitzkiÕs fi¥nal shot from the top of the key missed, Haslem swung his arms and screamed in delight. Nowitzki finished with 34 points, but didnÕt get much help. Jason Ter¥ry scored 15 and Shawn Marion had 10, but both were shut out in HEAT continues on PAGE 9 David J.

The Heat won 88-86 to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Lusson provides clutch spark to keep HornsÕ season alive By Trey Scott Daily Texan Staff The Longhorns woke up Sun¥day morning needing two wins to keep their season alive. Thanks to the unlikeliest hero of them all, they went to bed Sunday night needing just one more to advance. Against Kent State, Kevin Lusson smoked his second home run in 24 hours over the right-field wall Ñ an inch or so away from getting Texas fans free Frostys. In the earlier game against Texas State, Lusson drove in the game-winning run in the bot¥tom of the ninth. All more-than-welcome contri¥butions from the guy who came into this Austin Regional hitting .190. ÒIÕm really happy for Kevin, IÕm thrilled by his success,Ó said head coach Augie Garrido.

Junior starting pitcher Taylor Jungmann, who has a 13-1 record this year, is projected to be chosen within the top-15 picks. Junior shortstop Brandon Loy, ju¥nior pitcher Sam Stafford and se¥nior pitcher Cole Green, who turned down a $300,000 signing bonus last year from the Detroit Tigers, should follow Jungmann as high-round picks. Senior first baseman Tant Shep¥herd should be selected before the 10th round, and Cohl Walla, a draft¥eligible sophomore, has the poten¥tial to go early as well. ÑTrey Scott Dirk finally realizing potential with Mavs after years of failure Dirk Nowitzki is a stone-cold killer. Yeah, never thought IÕd type that. For the majority of his career, it has been difficult to take Dirk seri¥ously. There are the silly aesthetics: the long mane of goldilocks hair, the mouth guard he chews on like itÕs a pacifier, the funny German accent. Then there are the on-the-court is¥sues. Dirk has been considered a soft, finesse player with a puzzling inability to deliver the goods in the postseason. In crunch-time situa¥tions, Nowitzki has the reputation of crumbling like dry German strudel. There was the 2006 NBA Fi¥nals choke job. There was the MVP year in 2007 when his Mavs were humiliated by Golden State in the first round of the playoffs. Until this year, Dirk hadnÕt made it out of the first round of the Western Con¥ference playoffs three of the past four seasons. That was then, and this is now. Dirk, at the ripe age of 32, has Dal¥las back in the Finals in a clash against the most talented team in the world. And you know what? He hasnÕt backed down. In Game 2, he led his team on a 15-point comeback, scoring the game-winner on a left-handed scoop shot Ñ hurt finger and all Ñ with four seconds left. It was so uncharacteristically Dirk, the play¥er who had been at the center of a team with a historic propensity for soiling the bed sheets when the stakes are highest. The Mavericks reaching the Fi¥nals this year has been nothing short of odds-defying. It is a ros¥ter made up of Dirk Ñ the sweet¥shooting, seven-foot giant Ñ and a motley crew of specialists: shooters, stoppers, slashers and distributors. It is arguable that, in every postseason series this year, the Mavericks have been the least talented team each time they have taken the court. OK, maybe not more talent¥ed than a depleted Portland team, but Dallas lacked the star power of the Lakers and the Thunder Ñ two teams it beat in nine games total. Without Nowitzki, who is aver¥aging 28 points this postseason, the Mavericks are burnt toast. He is shooting 50 percent from behind the arch, pulling down about eight rebounds a game and playing surprisingly good defense. HeÕs also shaken off questions about his toughness, playing with an in¥jured finger and often getting to the line Ñ in the first game of the OKC series, Dirk went 24-24 from the stripe. In a losing effort in game three against the Heat, Dirk came one shot short in the MavsÕ 88-86 loss. You canÕt blame him too much. He had pulled Dallas out of a hole, scoring 12 straight points to tie the game before Chris Bosh bailed Miami out. Long thought of as a poor manÕs Larry Bird because of the skilled shooting and the obvious Cauca¥sian similarities, Nowitzki is prov- NOWITZKI continues on PAGE 8 NBA FINALS ItÕs more than just a game for some fans By Sameer Bhuchar Daily Texan Staff For much of the world, modern professional sports are often points of social and cultural contention. For the athletes, there is a great¥er sense of camaraderie, the feel¥ing that practice pays off. But a fanÕs blind devotion to a team, when ex¥amined from the outside looking in, can sometimes be seen as bar¥baric and uninspiring. After all, it is just a game. My assignment was to cover the Dallas MavericksÕ Game 2 watch party Thursday night at CuatroÕs restaurant in West Campus. I fig¥ured I could sit like a fly on the wall and talk to a few people when I needed a quote or two, file the story and forget about it. Simple enough. CuatroÕs defied the dead of the UniversityÕs summer campus. Bas¥ketball fans, namely Dallas Maver¥icks supporters, packed the restau¥rantÕs outdoor patio like sardines. One waiter brought in extra tables out to accommodate a group of girls in Dallas apparel while the rest of the wait staff took orders from mul¥tiple tables. This was still a Òslower game night,Ó said restaurant Gener¥al Manager Anna McNeal. Eventually, a group of men who I could tell were going to be leading the Maverick fansÕ cheers showed up. Clad in blue and silver jer¥seys with the names of Maverick greats on the back, the seven-per¥son group snagged a table front and center and turned their chairs to face CuatrosÕ mammoth television. I knew these were the fans I want¥ed to talk to. Unlike many of the rest of the Mavericks supporters who sat down strained with anxiety and helpless¥ness over their teamÕs understood Ñ but never stated Ñ underdog status, this group of guys in the front never showed a drop of sweat despite the sweltering heat of the summer. Ed Brown was the most confi¥dent and most curious man of the group. The 49-year-old, ex-military man had a lot to say to me as I sat down next to him in the first quar¥ter. He chatted about his 22-year¥old obsession with the Maver¥icks and how much he thought the team deserved a ring, while his col¥lege-aged son and friends simul¥taneously watched the game and laughed along with his drunkenly prophetic statements. ÒI am 100-percent sure the Mav¥ericks will win this game,Ó Brown said. ÒIf the refs decide to stop handing the game to the Heat, then we will win this game. Tell them Ed Brown told you so, damn it.Ó Brown talked at me through the first half of the game. He told me sto¥ries of his long history as a Mavericks fan, and I sat quietly and jotted down every gem he lobbed at me. ÒIf the Mavs win this game, I will scream like a 13-year-old girl who just saw Justin Bieber,Ó he said to his son and I, but not before turning his attention to the game to direct a profanity-laced rant at the referees. He turned back and looked at his son who, when the chips were stacking against his precious Mav¥ericks, was standing up praying at the TV screen for a miracle. ÒJason Terry is my boyÕs favorite player,Ó he said to me, before turn¥ing his attention back to his son and then to the screen. I left the table of rowdy men and continued to pursue what I thought was still going to be a run-of-the¥mill account of the watch party. After talking to a few other fans, I went back to BrownÕs table. By then, it was the fourth quarter and Dwyane Wade had just sunk a 3-pointer from the corner of the floor that flattened the air out of Cu¥atroÕs. Despite his team being down by 15, Brown was unimpressed. ÒEh,Ó he said. ÒIÕm still 98-percent sure we are winning this game.Ó ÒWhy only a 2-percent drop?Ó I asked. ÒYouÕre right, IÕm back to 100 per¥cent. What do you think son?Ó he asked the younger Brown, Eddie. ÒIÕm with you, Dad,Ó he said. And 10 minutes later, BrownÕs prediction was coming true. The Mavericks, riding the tailcoats of Dirk NowitzkiÕs dominance, stormed back to take a three-point lead with under a minute to play. ÒCome here, Dad,Ó Eddie Brown yelled to his father, who was ner¥vously cheering from his chair. He chanted ÒDallas! Dallas!Ó and everyone followed his lead. With the game tied, Dirk Now¥itzki capped off the miraculous comeback with a simple left-hand¥ed layup and the Browns, even more than the reenergized restau¥rant, went wild. I sat as calm as I could and watched the two hug and celebrate for a few minutes as long as my ear drums could handle it, before the younger Brown continued celebrat¥ing with his friends. ÒWhat did I tell you?Ó the father yelled at me. ÒI was 100-percent sure we were winning this game. I said it, my son said it, this guy said it, that guy said it Ñ we all told you. Ed Brown told you so. Come here, son!Ó For those who play profession¥ally, sports are partly about what separates one athlete from anoth¥er. For fans, it is generally the oppo¥site. Sports unite fans not to cheer for a random team, but so they feel like they are part of a group as well. It brings people together for all the right reasons. For Ed Brown and his son Eddie, the Mavericks were that source of bonding that so many fa¥thers and sons share. Ed Brown told me so. NOWITZKI continues from PAGE 7 ing right now that heÕs maybe flip-shots Ñ have never been seen good enough to be in a class by before. Add to that his dedication himself.

ÒIÕm feeling really comfortable,Ó said the junior catcher. ÒThe last few weeks, IÕve changed my ap¥proach; I call it the Moldenhauer Approach.Ó According to Lusson, the Mold¥enhauer Approach Ñ a reference to last yearÕs designated hitter Russell Moldenhauer Ñ is a simple one. ÒHit bombs,Ó he said. His ninth-inning homer Saturday night against Kent State brought the Longhorns within two. The team ended up losing, but Lusson called his hit a Òpersonal victory.Ó He sure has needed some of those. As a sophomore last year, Lusson hit 14 home runs as the ev¥eryday starter at third base. But this yearÕs new, power-sapping bats and the emergence of Erich Weiss at third have put LussonÕs playing time on the Endangered Watch. ÒYou canÕt play a lot of people in baseball, so heÕs been caught in a difficult situation all year long,Ó Garrido said. Lusson is just one of many un¥derappreciated players who have played major roles for the Long¥horns this weekend. Freshman catcher Jacob Felts, who has strug¥gled with the bat all season, is 4-for¥12 in the regional. Jonathan Walsh, the boom-or-bust slugger, turned in a 4-for-8 day on Sunday. Even Tim Maitland Ñ a .182 hitter Ñ is find¥ing ways to contribute, laying down a gorgeous drag bunt against Texas State in the ninth-inning rally. ÒItÕs definitely huge to have ev¥erybody hitting,Ó said freshman right-fielder Mark Payton. ÒItÕs not even just the 1-9 guys in the lineup. WeÕve had pinch-hitters come out and get home runs and base hits.Ó With the Longhorns winning both games of SundayÕs twin bill, FRENCH OPEN Nadal defeats Federer once again to capture record-tying sixth title w wsgaustin@yahoo.com w w.wsgaustin.com, call 512.499.8013 or email R E C YC L E 370 Apts.

Put the two greats of the game on op¥posite ends of a court in a Grand Slam final Ñ particularly at Roland Garros, on the red clay that Nadal rules Ñ and the one-sided nature of the rivalry grows even more pronounced. Grinding along the baseline, using every inch of his wingspan to extend points, whipping fearsome forehands this way and that, Nadal flummoxed Federer yet again Sunday in a riveting, highlight-filled match, beating him 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1 for a record-tying sixth French Open championship and 10th major title overall. This was their first meeting in a Grand Slam final in more than two years. It also was the first major championship match contested by any two men who already completed career Grand Slams. And Nadal and Federer put on a worthy show, more than three-and-a-half hours chock-full of lengthy exchanges, bril¥liant defense, sublime shotmaking and some dizzying shifts of momentum. ÒA big occasion,Ó the third-seeded Federer said. ÒI was aware of it.Ó ÒItÕs always pretty straightforward when we play each other ... because we know what to expect,Ó Federer said. ÒIÕm not in any way frustrated with his play.Ó Perhaps thatÕs true, but consider this: Federer is 14-1 in the Grand Slam fi¥nals he has played against any oth¥er opponent. The only time Feder¥er won the French Open, in 2009, he avoided Nadal, who was eliminat¥ed in the fourth round that year by Robin Soderling. On Sunday, Federer raced to a 5-2 at the outset, but blew a set point by missing a drop shot that landed barely wide. ÒI definitely thought that I got may¥be a touch unlucky there, and he got a touch lucky,Ó Federer said. ÒThat was one of my bigger chances.Ó Nadal then won seven games in a row. Later, when Nadal went up a break in the third and led 4-2, the match ap¥peared over, until Federer charged back to force a fourth set. But Nadal once more assumed con¥trol, winning the last five games, then dropping to his knees and leaning for¥ward with his hands covering his eyes. ÒI was able to play my best when I needed my best,Ó Nadal said. ÒFor that reason, today I am here with the trophy.Ó He had a set point at 5-4, 40-30, but wasted it with a forehand that clipped the net and flew long. That made it deuce, and thatÕs when drops began fall¥ing. As spectators pulled on hats and popped open umbrellas, Nadal and Federer waited a few seconds before walking off the court. Federer slipped into a private trainerÕs room and hopped up on a table. Nadal switched shirts and fidgeted with his racket stringsinahallway,thenhadabriefchatwith his mentor. After a 10-minute break, the match re¥sumed, and Nadal immediately earned a second set point. But Federer saved that one, too, opening an eight-point run for him. And then it was NadalÕs turn to take eight points in a row, including a 4-0 lead in the tiebreaker, which he eventu¥ally closed with a forehand winner. Federer wasnÕt finished, breaking Na¥dal at love to get within 4-3 in the third set. When Federer struck a forehand winner down the line to break again and go ahead 6-5, he earned a stand¥ing ovation and chants of ÒRo-ger! Ro¥ger!Ó from thousands of fans at Court Philippe Chatrier. ÒWhen Roger plays like this, the op¥ponent has nothing to do, sometimes,Ó Nadal said. With the crowd roaring each time he won a point, Federer served out the set, capping it with another forehand winner. The outcome seemed in doubt. Federer had won 117 points, Nadal 116. ÒAll of a sudden, at 0-0 in the fourth set, you think, ÔOK, we have a match again,ÕÓ Federer said. Nadal served to begin the fourth set, and Federer quickly gained three break points at love-40. This, then, would be the final twist. Nadal erased two break points with groundstroke winners, and the third with an ace at 120 mph. A ser¥vice winner at 114 mph followed. Then Federer shanked a backhand off his frame and into the stands. ÒVery important for me, no?Ó Na¥dal would say later. ÒThat was a big turning point of the match, in my opinion.Ó That made it 1-0, and Federer held to 1-1. But that was it. Nadal didnÕt lose another game as the sun finally broke through the gray clouds, bathing the court in light. An appropriate conclu¥sion for Nadal, the kid from the island of Mallorca who loves to spend free time fishing or at the beach. HEAT continues from PAGE 7 the fourth quarter.

Most of his baskets came in the paint Ñ where the Heat outscored the Mavs, 40¥22 Ñ and many of them were spectacular. But he also stemmed DallasÕ rally by hit¥ting a go-ahead jumper over Jason Kidd for MiamiÕs second-to-last basket. James came in talking about being more aggressive, but wasnÕt.

ÔThe Book of GraceÕ explores family boundaries, norms By Rachel Perlmutter Daily Texan Staff Grace looks around cautiously to en¥sure that she is alone. Crouching to the floor, she gently peels back the corner of a rug to reveal a hidden compartment in the floor and pulls her book out. She be¥gins to read excerpts to an imaginary au¥dience. Saturday marked the opening night of ÒThe Book of GraceÓ at ZACH Theatre. Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks, the play cen¥ters around familial boundary and con¥trol issues, told through the main charac¥terÕs self-written books. The play made its debut in Aus¥tin and will be performed by oth¥er companies around the country. The play is set in present day South Texas, where border patrol agent Vet (Eugene Lee) lives with his wife Grace (Nadine Mozon). The story picks up when Grace convinces VetÕs son, Buddy (Shaun Patrick Tubbs), to return home and reunite with his father. The central conflict revolves around bor¥ders and rules: Vet, who is obsessed with them both at work and at home; Buddy, who is trying desperately to break free from his fatherÕs control and create his own life; and Grace, who somehow man¥ages to have no boundaries. Just as Vet is determined to control the border at work, he is consumed with fencing his family in, ÒThe Book of GraceÓ Suzan-Lori Parks Genre: Drama Runtime: 120 minutes For those who like: Death of A Salesman, The Color Purple, Raisin in the Sun Grade: A- WHAT: ÒThe Book of GraceÓ WHERE: ZACH Theatre WHEN: June 2 - July 10 at 8 p.m. WEB: zachtheatre.org/show/the-book¥ of-grace TICKETS: $20 - $30 creating tension between father and son as well as Vet and GraceÕs marriage. Grace lives outside borders and rules entirely, always saying that you can find the good in everything. She secretly writes a book of her thoughts and findings to prove it. This mentality is only partially put into action since she lives with her op¥pressive and controlling husband. Buddy represents what happens when someone is pushed down too many times by Òthe man.Ó From the moment he ar¥rives home, Buddy struggles with his ha¥tred for Vet and his need for VetÕs approv¥al. He writes a manifesto in an attempt to break free from his fatherÕs rule, de¥spite still seeking his approval therefore giving his father a chance to accept him. The play is broken up into nine scenes. The acts, which are announced to the au¥dience by Grace, organize the ideas of the play and break up the story so it does not feel too long. The intimate style of the play creates a personal experience for the viewer. Each character reads his or her own book aloud to an imaginary audience. The en¥tire play takes place in Vet and GraceÕs home, with the three characters coming and going from other places in town. Oc¥casionally, the actors freeze while Grace, either from offstage or stepping out of the scene, reads the name of the next chapter or a footnote regarding some conversation she had with Vet before Buddy arrived. The actors gave equally powerful per¥formances, showing the weaknesses and complexities of three distinctly juxtaposed characters. Lee and TubbsÕ characters share the same explosive personality, yet Tubbs separates himself with his passion and desperation, bordering on anguish. When Buddy begins to film his video log, ÒThe Book of SnakeÓ Ñ the name his fa¥ther went by during his bad years Ñ he vi¥olently shakes his fist in the air as he lists his fatherÕs three strikes, which he calls the evidence of bad. Although the play delves into emotion¥al themes, when Grace reminds Buddy and the audience that Òyou can make up your own ending,Ó she injects just enough optimism and a bit of humor so that the play doesnÕt depress the audience. The play itself is compelling and mod- MUSIC REVIEW Summer singles set the beat for a variety of genres By Aleksander Chan Daily Texan Staff BeyoncŽ, ÒBest Thing I Never HadÓ When the pop diva dropped her de¥but single, ÒRun the World (Girls),Ó from her forthcoming album, 4, it raised a cu¥rious eyebrow. For an artist who made a name for herself as a musical trendsetter for the past decade, why was she slum¥ming behind a trend-following, Rihan¥na-esque dance beat? Whether it was pandering or careful plotting to make this new single sound brilliant by com¥ parison, ÒBest Thing I Never HadÓ is closer to classic BeyoncŽ. A soaring kiss-off to a former love (ÒWhen I think of the time that I al¥ most loved you/You showed your ass and I saw the real youÓ), it bet¥ ter showcases her incredible voice and exudes equal parts strength and vulnerability. Spoek Mathambo, ÒControlÓ This South African rapper and disk jockey has accomplished a seemingly impossible task. He made Joy DivisionÕs ÒSheÕs Lost ControlÓ sound even grim¥mer than the leaders of somber ambi¥ence did. A transformative cover, this re¥mixed and remodeled version of the song is the kind of catchy, affecting dance that M.I.A. used to make before being con¥ sumed by misinformed agitprop. Over a pulsating, almost tribal beat, MathamboÕs deep vocals reverberate like a foreboding presence. If the Rapture had occurred, this dark number would have played across the landscape for those left behind. Coldplay, ÒEvery Teardrop Is a WaterfallÓ The English pop-rock group has been as divisive over the years as lead singer Chris MartinÕs wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Are they secretly brilliant or just plain insufferable? It depends on what theyÕre aiming for; usually somewhere between plaintive (their early 2000s work) and sky-high transcendence (which theyÕve leaned toward since X&Y). Martin told the Guardian last November their new album is inspired by New York graffiti, and this first taste is in the same vein as their last album, Viva La Vida. ItÕs slightly rougher around the edges, but still pretty; like a pair of pre-tarnished jeans. How this synth-tinged track is anything like grungy, grimy street art is unclear, but it could easily sell iPods. Beirut, ÒEast HarlemÓ First penned by the Balkan-in¥fused indie setÕs frontman Zach Con¥don when he was 17, this proper stu¥dio recording is a plinking, wistful stroll that has an odd commercial ap¥peal. The shift from their usual, some¥what alienating Bulgarian countryside vibe to a cleaner sound isnÕt surprising considering the groupÕs recent collabo¥rations with Blondie. Horns blare be¥tween upbeat ukulele strumming and yearning lyrics for a faraway love (ÒSheÕs waiting for the night to fall/Let it fall, IÕll never make it in timeÓ). When the song swells to its climax, itÕs like Condon is smiling through his own tears. ItÕs one of the cheeriest songs about missing your love. ern. ÒThe Book of GraceÓ is a fresh take on the desperation of a family struggling to move forward together, but itÕs the in¥timate layout of the theater that truly el¥evate the experience to another level. Be¥cause each of the characters read aloud to an imaginary audience, the viewer feels as though they have taken on that role and therefore get to become a part of the play.

In a deep West Texas accent, the James Beard Foundation Award-winning food writer for the Wash¥ington Post explained how the tangy apples cut through the fat of the fish. His southern charm helped sell his latest book. An anthology of the ÒCooking For OneÓ column he started three years ago for the food cookbook includes a reinterpre¥ section at the Post, YonanÕs book, tation of a Texas salad his moth¥ ÒServe Yourself,Ó encourages singles Ò er used to make with Frito chips, to cook for themselves.

The column was also his way of fending off the no¥tion that cooking for one isnÕt as worthwhile as cook¥ing for many. ÒI was tired of hearing people say ÔWhy would I go through all that trouble if itÕs just me,ÕÓ he said. ÒMy whole thing is thereÕs no such thing as just you Ñ you are important enough to cook for yourself.Ó While Yonan said media re¥views on the book have been 100-percent positive, there are people who have misinterpreted ÒServe Yourself Ó as a joke. For Yonan, the process of prep¥ ping and cooking is therapeutic. The walk home from work, where Yonan brainstorms a dinner recipe around ingredients he already has in the pantry and fridge, helps him relax. The 20 to 40 minutes he spends cook¥ing and listening to the radio is what he looks forward to at the end of the day. Ò[Cooking] is fun and freeing, because you donÕt have to answer to anybody else,Ó he said. Inspired from his travels and his favorite ingredi¥ents, Yonan described his food as precarious and live¥ly.

ÒI knew I just wanted to combine my biggest passions and that was writing, journalism and food.Ó Since becoming a food writer takes more than a fine palette and appetite, Yonan enrolled in the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in 1999 to get a better under¥standing of food. Culinary school, he said, was also his way of getting off the copy desk, a job he said he felt was hard to move away from. In culinary school, Yonan excelled in class¥room work and in creating dishes with ingredients from a mystery box, but he said speed was not his COOKING continues on PAGE 10
