Austin Police De­ partment homicide detectives are investigating the cause of death and have not ruled out homicide. W hen police responded to a disturbance call at 2:47 a.m., an u n id en fified m ale w as at the scene w here the body w as dis­ covered and police took him in for q u estio n in g. B ecau se APD did not have enough evidence to press charges, the man was re­ leased Friday afternoon, said Sgt. Richard Stressing, a spokesman for the police department. Stressing said the death is still being investigated and said he suspects the two men knew each other. Police investigators contin­ ue to classify the other man as "a person of interest” in the case. Still died of knife wounds, he said. "H e's involved," Stressing said, referring to the unidentified man. "I am assuming they are acquain­ tances." Police said they will not release the identity of the man found on the scene, who was allegedly in­ volved in an altercation w ith Still. A man who claimed he was tak­ en in for questioning related to Still's death, Tony, told The Dai­ ly Texan he does not remember stabbing the deceased man that night, but said police are trying to pin him for murder.

This could be the third year in a row that Austin's ozone emissions surpass Environmental Protec tion Agency limits, giving the city po­ tential for a non-attainment grade, a measurement of emission levels. Non-attainment could bring fed­ eral restrictions that may last up to 20 years, said Austin Energy spokesman Fred Blood. "Some [restrictions] have to do with transportation, some have to do with permitting, which would slow down industrial grow th," Blood said. "If we want to contin­ ue economic growth and get out of this slump, we need to stay in attainment." The agency bases grading on a rolling three-year average of ozone levels, using the fourth- highest daily measurement from each year. Em issions are m ea­ sured in ozone particles that trig­ ger air pollution. The city has al­ ready had three days with emis­ sions over the EPA's limit, which changed from 77 parts per billion to 75 parts per billion last year and is intended to protect human health and the environment. "This year is the most important air quality year w e've had in 10 years, because we've always been a little below attainment, and they just lowered [the limit] last year," Blood said. "So it looks like we'll have some trouble this year." He said the city is making a big effort not to exceed the limits. "W hat you're seeing this sum­ m er is w hat w e call the 'b ig p u sh ,"' Blood said. "This is the third year, and we're right on the border and the highest [emission] days are usually in August and September." E nvironm ent Texas D irector Luke Metzger said staying within the limit will take a lot of effort.

"Every year, we put this on our calendar first," Jackie said. Jackie M cSpadden was not a UT graduate — a common theme among couples at the event. Henry Seals, an Abilene Chris­ tian U n iv ersity grad uate, and his wife Kathy Bean, who holds two math degrees from UT, said he was excited to be back for the third year of festivities.

Lectures, campus tours re-familiarize graduates with their alma mater By Frank Morris Daily Texas Staff During the next three nights, the Texas Exes will hold their an­ nual Alumni College event, a con­ ference which has brought UT alumni together since 1977. The program provides topical information on a variety of sub­ jects — from cyber security to the subprime loan crisis — through a series of lectures delivered by U niversity faculty. Alum ni are also encouraged to take campus tours and re-fam iliarize them ­ selves with their alma mater. "We want to bring back alumni and expose them to the talent at the University," said Erin Huddleston, a Texas Exes spokeswoman. "The toufs are also a great way to re-ac- quaint people who haven't been on campus in a very long time." More than 150 alumni are reg­ istered for the event and many of the former students are residing in the San Jacinto dormitory. "There's always new stuff," said Danny McSpadden, an alum who graduated in 1951. "It's great to be able to come back and see it." Speakers for the conference in­ clude B.R.

The use of solar panels will also help with wa­ ter conservation because the panels do not require w ater for cooling or processing. "This store is the tiara on the princess of energy conser­ vation and what this store rep­ resents," said Andrew M edal­ la, chief executive officer of Meridian Solar, the company responsible for the design and installation of the system. The solar panels are one of many environmentally friend­ ly features the store has to of­ fer. The store has also attem pt­ ed to minimize waste by recy­ cling and reducing the use of plastic bags. "H-E-B has alw ays been committed to green technolo­ gy," Lopez said. "We are very excited about our solar energy project and continuing to rep­ resent corporate and environ­ mental responsibility." W hen the in sta lla tio n is com plete, a m onitoring sys­ tem will be set up inside the store so customers can see ex­ actly how much H-E-B is sav­ ing daily. "Hopefully, this pilot proj­ ect will inspire other retailers to do the same and will lead to a vast energy conservation here in A ustin," said Linda Haas, M eridian Solar spokes­ woman.

D a ily T e x a n S taff K N I F E : Police continue investigation of fatal stabbing From page 1 retaliation from those connected to Still, he said. "I d id n't know he was hurt," Tony said. "1 never at any point got close enough to stab him." Tony, 50, had surgical staples closing a gash in his forehead, a black eye and a bloodied welt ris­ ing a couple inches from the side of his head. Sitting on the steps of his apart­ ment building, Tony said he had a tense relationship with Still since the man started threatening to kill Tony's wife. During the week be­ fore his death, she and Still had numerous verbal confrontations, Tonv said. "Basically, when I got involved, it was to protect her," Tonv said. "I didn't want to get involved. Tony's wife, who asked to re­ main anonymous, said last Tues­ day Still chased her for a block holding a knife. When police ar­ rived, Still was only given a ver­ bal warning, she said. "All of this could have been avoided, if the police had done their jobs," she said. The night of the incident, Tony said he and his wife, while on their way to a store, were approached by Still and his girlfriend — who were each brandishing knives and carrying long poles. Tony said Still approached him and started hitting him across the head with the pole. Tony, who also had a knife, said he was hit three times across the head and kicked several times after. Tony caught hold of Still's pole and tried to pull it from his hands. He said Still fought back and wrenched the pole toward himself and with it the knife Tony was holding. Tony said he suspects that was when his knife dealt Still a fatal blow. "At that point, 1 really feared for my life," Tony said, claiming he acted out of self defense. "I am still the one hurt on the outside and the inside. I've never killed anyone before. If the truth can't set me free, what is? If the truth don't matter, then 1 guess I am guüty. 1 guess other people are going to go to jail for trying to survive." Stressing said police detectives have as much time as they need to create a case that can withstand a court's scrutiny. "We have to make sure we have all the T's crossed and all the I's dotted," Stressing said. Tony's wife said she is seeking an attorney and intends to sue the city for treating her husband as a suspect and not a victim. "I don't think it's fair that they are trying to pin the murder on me," Tony said. "I still don't wish he was dead. I am not glad he's dead. I re­ ally hate that this happened. I'm 50 years old! It's not a good situation for anybody. What was I to do? US Supreme Court rules for voting act T h e D a i l y T e x a n Volume 110, Number 15 25 cents Local d istrict exem pted from Justice D epartm ent election law oversight By Bryan Lee D aily Texan Staff A U.S. Suprem e C ourt deci­ sion concerning the 1965 Voting Rights Act landed a local m u­ nicipal district in the national spotlight Monday. The N orthw est A ustin M u­ nicipal U tility D istrict No. 1, a sm all d istrict in A ustin, a t­ tem pted to convince the high­ est court in the land that the Voting Rights Act was uncon­ stitutional. The district did not w ant to com ply w ith a s tip u ­ lation regarding preclearance to election changes by a feder­ al court or the U.S. Justice De­ partment. Section 5 of the act outlines the rule in question, but the dis­ trict pushed to have the whole Voting Rights Act declared un­ constitutional because they said that it has already completed its goal by diversifying voters and protecting voting rights. T h e D a i l y T e x a n Permanent Staff "The district was, in effect, asking the Suprem e C ourt to declare Set t ion 5 u n c o n stitu ­ tional because it has been suc­ cessful," said Laughlin McDon­ ald, director of the A m erican Civil Liberties U nion's Voting Rights Project. Some su p p o rte rs think the district went too far b y declar­ ing the entire act u n co nstitu­ tional, and not just the section in question. "There is logic to the munici­ pal district's position for w ant­ ing to 'bail o u t' because they are not a large d istrict," said Jim Harrington, director of Tex­ as Civil Rights Project. "But to use that logic to attack the entire Voting Rights Act is too much." The ACLU then got involved to protect the interests of„a black resident in the district. They de­ fended Section 5, in addition to the rest of the Voting Rights Act, w hich the union felt strongly about preserving. "The right to vote has been described by the court as fun­ d a m e n ta l," M cD onald said . "A m en d m en ts to th e c o n sti­ tu tio n p ro m o ted the V oting Rights Act, which is one of the m ore im p o rta n t civ il rig h ts law s th is co u n try fo u g h t so hard to enact." The court agreed, but decid­ ed not to comment on the con­ stitutionally of the law. Instead, it ruled that the district can by­ pass the preclearance require­ ments in Section 5 if it can show it has not discriminated against minority voters for a 10-year pe­ riod. Districts that meet this cri- teria are eligible to "bail out," and are not required to seek ap­ proval from a federal court to change voting procedures. "We have m ade progress, in Texas and elsewhere," said Lisa Graybill, legal director of the ACLU of Texas. "Today's d e ­ cision will ensure equal voting rights for all Texans." Since the original passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, the Section 5 provision was chal­ lenged num erous times w hen its extension was under consid­ eration, McDonald said. "This lawsuit did not come as a surprise to those w ho know the history," he said. "But it was comforting to see the court backing the im portant legisla­ tion that so many struggled for in the civil rights era."

W ORLD BRIEFLY Likely North Korean weapon smugglers spotted near China SEOUL, South Korea — A North Korean ship suspected of carrying iHicit weapons was plying die wa­ ters off Shanghai on Tuesday en route to Myanmar, a news report said, as regional military officials and a U.S. destroyer kept a close eye on die vessel's movements. Washington's top military com­ mander in South Korea, mean­ while, warned that the communist regime is bolstering its guerrilla warfare capacity. Gen. Walter Sharp, who com­ mands the 28,500 U.S. troops po­ sitioned in South Korea, said the North could employ roadside bombs and other guerrilla tactics if war breaks out again on the Ko­ rean peninsula. The two Koreas technically remain at war because their three-year conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, in 1953. North Korea's 1.2 million-mem­ ber army makes it one of the world's largest. Some 180,OCX) are special operation forces. North Ko­ rea is believed to have been boost­ ing its urban, nighttime and special operation capabilities in the wake of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, South Korea's Defense Ministry said. Scientists reconstructing rare preserved elephant skeleton BANDUNG, Indonesia — Indo­ nesian scientists are reconstructing the largest, most complete skeleton of a prehistoric giant elephant ever found in the tropics, a finding that may offer new clues into the large­ ly mysterious origins of its modem Asian cousin. The prehistoric elephant is be­ lieved to have been submerged in quicksand shortly after dying on a riverbed in Java around 200,000 years ago. Its bones — almost per­ fectly preserved — were discov­ ered by chance in March when an old sand quarry collapsed during monsoon rains. The animal stood 13 feet tall, 16 feet long and weighed more than 10 tons — closer in size to the woolly mammoth than to the great Asian mammals now on Earth. Animal fossils are rare in the humid, hot climate of the equator because decomposition occurs ex­ tremely quickly. Following a monthlong excava­ tion, a team of seven paleontolo­ gists from the Geology Museum in Bandung, West Java, set the bones in plaster for the tnp back to their office where they will be pieced back together. Talibdn commander killed by own guard in Pakistan ISLAMABAD — A Taliban fac­ tion leader who criticized the mil­ itant group's Pakistani head over attacks that killed civilians was fa­ tally shot Tuesday, reportedly by one of his own guards. The attack on Qari Zainuddin appeared to be a sign that divi­ sions within the Taliban have bro­ ken into the open as they come under military assault. The army is clearing out militants from the Swat Valley and has been pound­ ing strongholds of Pakistani Tal­ iban leader Baitullah Mehsud in the South Way instan tribal region bordering Afghanistan in apparent preparation for a major offensive. US, Kyrgyzstan reach air base deal after months of limbo BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — The United States has agreed to more than triple the rent it pays for use of a key air base in Kyrgyzstan to ship non-lethal military supplies to Afghanistan under a deal ap­ proved Tuesday by a Kyrgyz par­ liamentary committee. The accord to use the Manas base as a "center of transit ship­ ments" comes four months after the Central Asian nation ordered the eviction of U.S. troops. It falls short of U.S. hopes of maintain­ ing the base as a full-fledged mili­ tary facility. But it would provide a much- needed logistical support base as the U.S.-led coalition ramps up op­ erations against increasingly bold Taliban and al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan. Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyr- bek Sarbayev told lawmakers that under the new one-year deal, rent will increase to $60 million per year from the current $17.4 million.

Mousavi just face of reformists By Brian M urphy The Associated Press CAIRO, Egypt — M ir-H os­ sein Mousavi is still nominally the guiding force of the fury over Iran's disputed election. But there are ample signs his rebel stature is being eroded by his hesitation to shift from campaigner to street agitator as his supporters chal­ lenge security forces. The questions over Mousavi's standing are part of a larger de­ bate over the direction of the un­ precedented assault on Iran's Is­ lamic leadership. The size of the d em on stra­ tions has fallen sharply since Mousavi led hundreds of thou­ sands through Tehran last week over claim s of vote rigging in the June 12 presidential election. At the sam e time, the grow ing threats and firepower from secu­ rity forces leave little doubt that authorities are prepared to strike back hard. A gathering of about 200 people on Monday was quickly broken up by tear gas and shots fired into the air. On Tuesday, protesters re­ treated to much milder methods: honking car horns, chanting from rooftops and holding up posters denouncing the crackdown and alleged vote fraud. It gave the clear impression of authorities gaining the upper hand, at least for the moment. C rushing the protesters' spir­ its and ability to regroup would likely mean even greater rewards and power for Iran's Revolution­ ary Guard — the Islamic regime's main military muscle and backer of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And it could put reformists under relentless pres­ sure for years to come. But it's still far too early to declare the op p ositio n forces doomed. Protest organizers are appealing for another major ral­ ly, perhaps Thursday, in hopes of recapturing momentum and projecting their resolve. They also appear to be m oving be­ yond M ousavi's specific call for a new election and w idening their rage against the entire Is­ lamic power structure. What's still missing, however, are clear signals from Mousavi. He left many followers bewil­ dered with twin m essages this week. He called on his backers to maintain the cries to annul the election results that show ed a landslide victory for Ahmadine­ jad. But he also declared full re­ spect for Iran's Islamic system and even described as "our brothers" the pro-regime militias who have beaten demonstrators and been blamed by protesters for gunning down marchers last week. Managing college expense doesn’t have to be difficult HAGERSTOWN, Md. — A tow­ ering sculpture in the Maryland mountains depicting three New York City firefighters raising the U.S. flag at Ground Zero was fi­ nanced by investor fraud, federal regulators say. Now the 40-foot bronze stat­ ue unveiled in November 2007 at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Md., is for sale. A court-appointed receiv er and the sculptor, Stanley J. Watts of Kearns, Utah, say they hope to raise at least $425,000 to repay in­ vestors in Coadum Advisors Inc. — and perhaps have something left over for the artist. "1 am still upside-down $150,000 on the project," Watts said m a tele­ phone interview, refemng to what he owes his creditors. In a complaint filed in January 2008 in federal court in Atlanta, the Securities and Exchange Com­ mission alleged Coadum raised $30 million by promising investors returns as high as 6 percent per month. The SEC contends it was a Ponzi scheme that illegally used money from new investors to pay off earlier investors. In a settlement about three weeks later, Coadum agreed to cease operations, pay a yet-to-be- determined fine and allow the court to retrieve as much investor money as possible. — The Associated Press The U.S. flag flies on the Sept. 11 National M em o ria l at the National Em ergency Training C enter on Nov. 5, 2007.

NATION BRIEFLY Poll: Americans consider pets family, bestow human names NEW YORK — An Associ­ ated Press-Petside.com poll re­ leased Tuesday found that half of all American pet owners consid­ er their pets as much a part of the family as any other person in the household; another 36 percent said their pet is part of the family but not a full member. And that means pets often get the human touch: Most pet own­ ers cop to feeding animals human food, nearly half give the animals human names and nearly a third let them sleep in a human bed. While just 19 percent had bought an out­ fit for a pet, 43 percent felt their pet had its own "sense of style." Singles were more likely to say a pet was a full member of the family than married people — 66 percent of single women versus 46 percent of married women, for example. And men were less likely to call their pet a full member of t h e household. The AiP-Petside.com poll was con­ ducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media from May 28-June 1, 2009. Montana city ends policy seeking Internet passwords BOZEMAN, Mont. — The Boze­ man City Commission has voted to eliminate a hiring policy that al­ lowed the city to look at informa­ tion found on social networking sites in considering job applications. Officials voted Monday to end the practice, which city Commis­ sioner Jeff Rupp called an "egre­ gious violation of priv acy." "We have checks and balanc­ es that should be used, and I don't think they are," Rupp said. He also asked why it wasn't vetted by the legal and information technology departments before being added to city hiring manuals. Applicants for city jobs were asked for usernames and pass­ words for Web sites and social net­ working sites, sparking an outcry from those who thought the policy went too far, according to a report last week from KBZK-TV. TV show helps Utah boy survive night solo in woods SALT LAKE CITY — When he realized he'd been separated from his family on a weekend hike in a northern Utah forest, 9-year-old Grayson Wynne's thoughts turned to television. Grayson watches "Man vs. Wild" on the Discovery Channel every week with his brothers and his dad. On the show, host and adventur­ er Bear Grylls strands himself in the wilderness and then shows viewers how to survive the sticky situations. That's where Grayson says he learned to leave clues behind to help searchers find him. On Saturday, when he was scared and alone in the Ashley Na­ tional Forest, Grayson started tear­ ing up his yellow rain slicker, de­ spite the intermittent downpours, and tying pieces to trees. "1 just used my hands," said Grayson, who was found safe Sun­ day after spending 18 hours lost in the forest. "I don't know how many times I tore the thing but quite a lot."

CfííHW» S ' AMUYj AN0 IRAN l-l KE 9JE Wednesday, June 24, 2009 OVERVIEW Executive power trip Gov Rick Perry vetoed 37 pieces of legislation last week. Among them were bills with bipar­ tisan support that would have made full-day pre-kindergarten instruction available for more a t - r i s k children, placed a recycling mandate on television manufacturers and protected bicy­ clists on the road. Perry v etoed fewer bills than he has in the past. In 2007, he vetoed 49, and in his first year as governor, 2001, he vetoed a record-breaking 83 bills. However, Perry vetoed the bills in a manner that gave him entirely too much authority. At least a dozen of the vetoed bills were passed unanimously by the legislature, according to the Long\ lew News-Joumal. As our representative, Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, pointed out in his newsletter, "You work all year (or all biennium) on good legislation, building support and making re\ isions to reflect different viewpoints and answer various concerns, only to see the effort obliterated bv one person's objections." Most importantly, "we don't have the ability to come back into session and override his veto," Watson wrote. By vetoing the bills after the regular session ended, Perry took away the Legislature's oppor­ tunity to override his vetoes, something it had the votes to do in many cases. The governor of Texas is widely considered to have very limited power. But in the past week Perry single-hand­ edly overrode 181 elected representatives. The governor has proved that Texas needs a special veto session in order to check executive power. Equal rights come to Texas The Texas Lyceum Poll, released Tuesday, found 58 percent of Texans polled support the ex­ pansion of state rights for gay partnerships, showing a glimmer of hope for Texas' gay and les­ bian population. UT government professor Daron Shaw, who helped conduct the poll, said the results show Texans are not necessarily opposed to expanded legal rights for same-sex couples," accord­ ing to the Austin American-Statesman. Shaw was careful to not equate support for great­ er legal recognition in the state with support for gay marriage, which a majority of Texans still oppose. In 2005, Texans voted overwhelmingly to amend the state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, as the gay marriage ban garnered more than 74 percent of the vote. Travis County was the only part of the state that voted against the ban, and did so by a similarly large margin. If this poll is any indicator, the political landscape seems to be changing quickly in the state, and we welcome the transformation. As gay rights achievements — and marriage in particular — continue to gamer national headlines, we await the day Texas can join the list of states that value their gay and lesbian populations through equal rights. GALLERY x siW)U»e;NG ia v CAtoPAWTWnWftS' gwK&ToSWlWBy fo*? a jfg c r W G R e e T / / THE FIRING LINE Trees in need Barton Springs' trees have captured the atten­ tion of the whole city for over two months. The stampede to their defense was overwhelming and impassioned. Hundreds of people rushed to the sleepy Forestry Board and Council meetings to make sure the trees were saved. Talk radio and the editorial pages crackled with concern. This reac­ tion was laudable and very foreseeable. What was unforeseeable is the appalling lack of follow-through to date on the part of my fel­ low citizens. When the controversy first arose, the Austin Parks Foundation announced plans to raise private money to take care of the threatened trees and plant a huge number of new trees all over Zilker Park. However, to date, individuals have only contributed about $3,500 to the fund. This lackluster response to the call for help is shocking. Surely we can do better in green­ conscious, tree-loving Austin — if every Austinite would contribute just $5 to the Barton Springs' Tree Fund at the Austin Parks Foundation, the problem would be solved, and thousands of new trees would grace our city and the Springs for cen­ turies to come. Let's step up, Austin. Let's follow up on our commitment to the fund and put our money where our collective mouth is. — Richard Craig Austin Capital M etro is cost-effective The Daily Texan prides itself on being a legiti­ mate news outlet, a source for accurate, timely news. Indeed, I've read great journalism in the Texan. So it was with some degree of incredulity 1 read Jillian Sheridan's error-ridden June 23 edito­ rial "Capital Metro falls off the track." Some basic fact-checking is in order. The editorial incorrectly states that Capital Metro promised to announce a new MetroRail startup date in May. When we decided to post­ pone the startup, we promised the community we would deliver a community progress report by May 15, which we did. The editorial also states that Capital Metro is "owned" by the city of Austin. Capital Metro is a political subdivision of the State of Texas and is not part of the city of Austin. Austin is one of several cities that has elected to join Capital Metro by designating a 1 percent sales tax to fund transportation. . Further, the editorial misstates that Capital Metro took out a $10 million loan. The Capital Metro Board, at its May 18 meeting, authorized opening a $10 million line of credit, however, the agency has not, as of yet, borrowed against the line of credit. In stating that Capital Metro "owes the city mil­ lions of dollars," the editorial perhaps implies that we are past due on our obligations. Capital Metro is current on all its financial obligations. We do have a long-term commitment to the city of Austin for regional mobility programs, but this agreement was intended for payments to be made over a period of time based on the availability of funds. Finally, the city is not losing millions by the delay. The amount of money Capital Metro would gain through MetroRail fares is offset by the fact that the trains are not currently operating their full schedules. The entire construction proj­ ect is still within the $105 million budget, making MetroRail one of the most cost-effective rail start­ ups in the nation. Capital Metro Communications staff make themselves available to the media day or night to assist in fact-checking or to answer questions about our agency. We would have been happy to assist Sheridan in providing accurate information about Capital Metro. — Fred Gilliam President/Chief Executive Officer Capital Metro LEGALESE SUBMIT A FIRING LINE Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article.

Nothing to prove By Matt Jones Daily Texan Columnist If you're like me, your parents are starting to nudge you out the door of the house where you grew up. They want to make sure that you're not going to fall flat on your face while there's still time for a Plan B (read: seminary school). As such, th ey're pressuring you to set down th e W ii-m o te , p u t p a n ts on , g et y o u r ow n place, pay your own rent and learn the value of a dollar. Well, in case you haven't heard, the dollar isn't doing too well at the m om ent. Jobs usually re­ served for students m aking a trial run at inde­ pend ence are all filled up by people trying to feed their families. To us, em p lo y m e n t is p rim a rily a w ay to glean life lessons and build our resum es — not a b so lu tely , p o sitiv ely , 100 p ercen t n ecessary for survival. D on't get me wrong. I'm not living off my fa­ th e r's trust fund or anything, but I'm not w or­ ried about where my next meal is com ing from either. But it is undeniable that there are people who feel like they should have jobs, and then there are people who need jobs. I was rooted in the first category when I moved down from Dallas on a late Sunday night. I'd in­ terviewed with the Austin branch of a non-profit over the telephone and was offered a field m an­ ager position, one level above the job I was orig­ inally pursuing. Field managers get paid $15 an hour, my interview er told me, and I did the men­ tal math pretty quickly. At this point in my life, a steady $600 per week seems like a lot of money, to be perfectly honest. I was ready to call m yself a working man, punch­ ing a time card and pulling in a weekly check. I got to work on M onday morning only to dis­ cover that I had m isinterpreted their offer — to put it diplom atically. W hen the w om an on the phone told me, "Y ou'd be a great fit for a field m anager," she didn't m ean "this is your jo b " as much as she meant "if you work hard, you'll get promoted in no time." My real job turned ou t to be d o or-to-d o or fu n d ra is in g , eig h t h o u rs p er day, for $ 6 .5 5 an hour. I w as of tw o m inds as I w andered through the su b u rb s of north A u stin three hours la t­ er, broiling inside my black slacks and button- d ow n sh irt w ith sleeves rolled up as high as they'd go. On one hand, I already signed a contract to work a perfectly good job, w hich is more than many people can say right now. Yes, I hated it, but lots of people hate their jobs. I felt like I ought to m an-up and accept it as one of those "w ell, th a t's life " m om ents, re­ fusing to quit out of indignation and self-rig h ­ teousness. On the other hand, my train of thought was in­ terrupted at this point as a woman shouted at me through her door that she w as sorry President Obam a had brainw ashed me into believing that global warming is real. I wish I were kidding. The q u estio n is sim p le: How badly do you need work? For those of us still free enough to be able to pick and choose, at least to som e degree, I urge you to let your inner idealist have its say. D on't w aste a summer, or a year, or five years, loath­ ing what you do because you feel like you have som ething to prove. We're too young to hate what we do. That's not supposed to happen until we have spouses and kids to motivate us instead of "The Beatles: Rock Band." By the way, my moral dilemma was resolved. I did n't m eet my expected quota on my second day and w as sum m arily let go. I co u ld n 't be more relieved.

Avelar is a governm ent senior Wednesday, June 24, 2009 5 Project promotes clean energy Finance professor plainly explains economic pains Four-part lecture series explains what s going on and how it 's affecting you By Brittany Wisch Daily Texan Staff In light of the faltering econo­ my, Lewis Spellman, UT finance and interdisciplinary professor, unraveled the complexities of the market and the ailing economy in a lecture Tuesday. In the third of a four-part se­ ries, Spellman interpreted and an­ alyzed current policies and m ar­ ket trends at the AT&T Executive Conference Center in a way that anyone could understand. Spellman said the U.S. is under­ going both economic pressure and a financial system meltdown, re­ quiring an extraordinary amount of help from the federal govern­ ment and central bank. There is a serious question as to whether the U.S. government can fund the defi­ cit with the sale of treasury bonds. "We have had a financial melt­ dow n in this cou ntry that we haven't seen the likes of since the Great Depression," Spellman said. Spellman said recent indications show that global capital is looking for an alternative to U.S. treasury bonds as a safe-haven investment. Despite the purchases of treasuries, prices have declined recently and market yields have increased, indi­ cating demand for treasuries. With ambitious plans to add government spending in health care, it is possi­ ble the U S. will have to back off its attempts to solve all problems with borrowed funds. "He has a way of putting his lec­ tures into words so that everyday people like you and me who are not educated in finance or know a lot about the economy will know what he is talking about," said Liz Mackey, director of Spellm an's Web site. Spellman's primary teaching is in financial markets and institutions at both the graduate and undergradu­ ate levels. He was also an assistant to the chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors and an economist with the Federal Re­ serve Board. His published works focus on market pricing of financial institution claims. "Lew is one of the leading ex­ perts in capital markets," said Ste­ phen Pyhrr, senior managing di­ rector of the inv estment firm Ken­ nedy Wilson. Spellman will conclude his lec­ ture series on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., and launch his Web site, lewspell- nuin.com, so the public will be able to access his lectures online and provide feedback. By Syeda Hasan Daily Texan Staff The Pecan Street Project, an organization which pushes for clean energy technology, is tak­ ing steps to make Austin a lead­ ing city in the green energy ; movement. M em bers of the project said Austin could serve as a central location for green technological growth since the city ow ns its own municipal utility and they would not have to get federal government approval for each of their projects. Although the new clean tech­ nology will pose major changes for energy providers, Jim Mar­ ston, Texas regio n al d irector of the Environm ental Defense Fund, said companies would be prepared to make adjustments. "The utility understands that change is coming, and we're go­ ing to embrace it and figure out how to make it profitable," Mar­ ston said. W eston Sythoff, spokesm an at the Capital Area W orkforce Board, said the Pecan Street Proj­ ect's efforts would create new job opportunities in Austin. "We participate on the Work­ force Development Subcommit­ tee, working to understand the types and numbers of jobs that will be created as a result of Aus­ tin's growing green energy in­ dustry," Sythoff said. Isaac Barchas, associate direc­ tor of U T’s Austin Technology Incubator, said that students can get involved in the movement by looking for opportunities with companies who focus on innova­ tive green technology. The Pecan Street Project hopes to develop clean technology in­ frastructure in Austin by 2020 with sites to plug in hybrid cars and clean energy power plants. " I t's all a m atter of tim ing more than anything," Marston said. "N ot all the rules are fig­ ured out yet." While the Pecan Street Project has several large corporations on board with its efforts, it hopes to continue gaining support for its energy plan through the cooper­ ation of companies like the Blue- b on n et E le ctric C o o p erativ e. M arston said the team hopes Austin will serve as a model for other cities in Central Texas to UT finance professor Lewis Spellman offers part three of his lecture series on the current economic state to business school alumni Monday.

"O f course clean tech is good for cli­ mate change, and we will be con­ sidered by the utility as part of the city's com prehensive plan­ ning process in term s of zon­ ing. This is an opportunity to do something really big on the envi­ ronment while doing something big on the economy."

M ike Paschal | Daily Texan Staff Austin Green Art helps to reform lives with green employment’ By Emily Royall Daily Texan Staff "T h is is H eav en ," said Randy Jew - art, founder of Austin Green Art, standing proudly before an expanse of tattered win­ dows, rusted tools and industrial ghosts. Remnants of artistic endeavors long past peek from behind relics of renovation while diligent workers, reeking of creative indus­ try, are scattered about the space. Located in an unassuming hangar on the downtrodden Austin State School campus, the green organization is devoted to pro­ moting sustainability through public art works and other projects. Its philosophy is a particularly remarkable one — that "Art for art's sake is immoral" and in light of immi­ nent environmental and economical crisis, the arts community should get off its high, institutionalized horse and provide a func­ tional service. The facility, a 4,000 square-foot industrial space, was obtained unexpectedly in a meet­ ing with Austin State School representatives. Such personal networking, it seems, is the life support of independent organizations like Austin Green Art. Of its annual $100,000 budget, roughly $20,000 to $30,000 comes from federal and city contracts, whereas the remaining majority flows from scattered sources of art philanthropy: corporate spon­ sors, small family foundations and earned income from its acclaimed Resolution Gar­ dens program, a project that creates and maintains vegetable gardens for corporate or private residences. The funds have been on the increase and this year, for the first time since its founda­ tion, the group broke even in its support of Austin's annual Earth Day celebration, recouping the $10,000 it expected to lose. This counted as a welcome victory to Jew- art, who puts his attention "where I know I'll be successful." But the recent climb in revenue was se­ verely curbed by the downturn in the econ­ omy. The organization started out the year with a cancellation of more than $130,000 in garden building contracts. Injured by the lack of prospective funding, the group was forced to look to the federal government for support. As observed by Jewart, federal stim u­ lus money that seeks to provide assistance for the unemployed while supporting the "green job" industry is wasted on an arid climate absent of green job infrastructure. Austin Green Art's mission is to fill the void, providing one of the only sites for green employment in Austin. Despite dismal out­ looks for the year, the group sparked a collab­ oration with Goodwill to provide green jobs for the community in landscaping, gardening and sustainable construction. E x-convicts and others hoping to re­ form their lives come to the group where they are paid minim um wage to partici­ pate in many eco-friendly projects such as "Grow Austin Weird," which provides ed­ ible landscaping for the Austin communi­ ty and "The Paper Project," a collaboration with the UT Environmental Center to en­ courage corporations to reduce their con­ sumption of paper products. Larry, a 21-year-old participant in the pro­ gram, was released from prison and hired by Goodwill to work for AGA, where he has since raised his awareness of environmen­ tal issues learning that, "without Earth, our money is nothing." All this seems to incubate in the eyes of Randy Jewart's proud face. The AGA found­ er was formerly a professional artist exhib­ iting his work in New York and decorating homes, until he "realized what it all boiled down to" — namely, that art should socially and environmentally engage individuals. MOVIE REVitW Bay's new ‘Transformers' full of action, groans By Alex Regnery Daily Texan Staff With "Transformers: Revenge of the F allen ," it's clear that someone let director/m aster of destruction Michael Bay off the leash. When there's a hand on Bay's shoulder, cinema is graced with sublimely ridiculous results like "The Rock" and "Bad Boys II." But never b efo re has anyone unleashed the type of unrelent­ ing onslaught of action that Bay does in the latest "Transform ­ ers" film and the end product is painful. Extremely painful. Here's where a plot descrip­ tion would be if there were any semblance of a story in the film — but guess what, it took three screen w riters (Ehren Kruger, A lex K u rtzm an and R ob erto Orci) to punch out a few pages of asinine dialogue and the rest was left up to Bay. The film picks up two years af­ ter the last with Sam (the always affable Shia LaBeouf) heading off to college and dealing with a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend M ikaela (fanboy wet dream Megan Fox). This is where robots come in and blast the living hell out of one anoth­ er; over and over and over. The first "Transform ers" film, w h ile no m asterp iece, w as a fun ride in w hich we d isco v ­ ered these alien robots through th e ey es of Sam , the lik a b le yet u n lik ely hero. H ow ever, in the franchise's latest install­ ment, there's barely a m om ent for LaBeouf to L aBeouf it up. Shia is, instead, relegated to be an action figure that Bay flings around in his multi-million dol­ lar sandbox. The film truly leaves the view­ er feeling numb on every level. It's clear that the characters don't matter when the final battle is 45 minutes of CGI robots causing a ruckus at the Pyramids of Giza. The movie is filled with groan­ worthy moments like John Tur­ turro in a jock strap, a small ro­ bot humping Fox's leg, big brass Decepticon testicles and two Au- tobots that act like the most egre­ gious racial stereotype this side of a minstrel show (yes, it's that offensive). Normally, one can walk away from a M ichael Bay film with some excitement over a cool ac­ tion scen e or truly m em ora­ ble m om ent, but "T ransform ­ ers," with a run time of two and a half hours, leaves you broken, battered and bruised. Optimus Prime's iconic line is "One shall rise, one shall fall." In this case, "Transform ers: Revenge of the Fallen" rises straight to the top of the list for worst film of the year thus far. 'trCriHrtr Carolynn Calabrese | Daily Texan Staff Ikea chairs from hell add mystery to Arthouse show Contemporary exhibit perplexes visitors, lacks emotional intensity By A nderson Rodriguez Daily Texan Staff W hat do I know about con­ temporary art? Apparently, not much. I went to the New Am erican Talent exhibition, featured in the Arthouse at the Jones Center on Seventh Street and Congress Av­ enue, with an open mind. The first display I saw was a recreation of a large tree trunk, s p lit op en, with som e p lan ts growing inside of the hollowed out trunk. It w asn't actually a tree trunk — though that would have been really im pressive — but actually images of bark that lined what appeared to be card­ board. The display was fairly in­ teresting visually, if som ew hat lacking in emotion. Located right next to the tree scene, there were som e photo­ graphs lined up in a neat row on a large, plain w hite w all. O ne would assum e that an y ­ thing w arranting such a p ro ­ portionally large use of display room w ould be w o rth w h ile , but it w asn 't really. The p h o ­ tos just showed a bunch of d if­ ferent trash cans, sitting in the street, w ith rolled -u p p osters thrown away inside of each of the receptacles. It was probably supposed to represent art being thrown away or something, but the message was lost. Other head scratchers includ­ ed item s like what appeared to be Ikea chairs from hell covered with small bits of graffiti, piec­ es of broken wood that the artist claim ed were "fou n d " — a.k.a. tak en from the garb ag e and painted with single colors — and last, a sm all model pipe m ade entirely of the artist's hair. I'm just not that cultured, I suppose, but there wasn't much I u n d ersto o d in the ex h ib it. However, there were a handful of pieces that resonated. One such piece was an inter­ e stin g p h o tog rap h set w hich fe atu red a se rie s o f h u m a n ­ oid d olls en gagin g in a c tiv i­ ties such as lovemaking and the lonely consum ption of alcohol in an empty room. The way the camera captured the scenes was equally, if not more, impressive than the quirky subject matter. Also notew orthy was a mixed- m edia, im pressionist ^ioram a that depicted* even ts in Jesse Jackson's life. But nothing really hit me emo­ tionally until I came across two displays by Tucson artist Steph­ anie Bernstein. One was a plas­ te r/ mixed-nonsense bust called " J a c k ." The b u st w as sm all, m aybe a foot-and-a-half tall or so, and it was fairly surreal. Even better was B ernstein's piece titled "The King of Hearts." The display featured a boy king riding on a wolf made of an as­ sortm en t o f item s that could have come from a Dumpster on any street in Am erica. The boy king was surreal and disfigured, as was the w olf, and the level of sadness and em otion in the king's face was almost painful to see. The giant wolf that the boy king rode stood over the body of a girl, and all around the trio were tiny cloth hearts that had fallen off of the strings that the boy dangled along the w o lf's side. I'm not sure what the piece m eant, but I stared at it for al­ most 10 minutes. In the end, I left the Arthouse w ith strongly m ixed feelings, and as I walked to my car in the unbearably hot sun, I wished that I understood m odern art better. R egard less, the exhibit was free ... so no regrets. A visitor stands in front of a w ork o f art depicting dolls e n ga ge d in hum an-like activities at the New Am erican Talent exhibi­ tion in the Arthouse.

Just piounding the zone, throwing strikes." By Michael Sherfield Daily Texan Staff OMAHA, Neb. — Taylor Jung- mann stares back at the cam er­ as and press corps surrounding him with a look that approach­ es disdain, v\ hen he cares to look at all. His answ ers, as alw ays, are short and terse. To this 19-year- old, the scale of his performance, for better or worse, doesn't seem to matter. Yesterday doesn't seem to matter. Because of that, his confidence is unshaken. Because of that, his team is still alive in the College World Series. The lanky freshman with elec­ tric stuff hurled Texas into a de­ ciding gam e 3 Tuesday n ight * with a performance that will lin­ ger among the greatest Rosenb­ latt Stadium has ever seen. With a depleted bullpen and a M o n d ay n ig h t c o lla p s e that he played a brief, but critical, part in still hov­ e rin g o v e r th e Longhorns, Jung- m ann threw his first career com ­ p le te g am e, a l­ low ing only one unearned run and five hits. It was the lon­ gest outing of his collegiate career, and it started less than 24 hours after the shortest. With the Long­ horns clinging to a two-run lead Monday night, Jungmann entered m the ninth inning looking to nail the door shut on an LSU rally. Six pitches later, he was back in the dugout, unable to find the strike zone or an explanation. " I t w as a little e m b a rra ss­ ing," he said about game one. "I couldn't find the feel of the ball." He had no such problems Tues­ day, throw ing 126 pitches of a would-be shutout had shortstop Brandon Loy's second-mning er­ ror not given the Tigers their lone run of the day. It started with a little help from the heavens. After threatening a second day of the searing heat that drained both starters M on­ day, O m aha saw two hours of rain, wind and lightning. W hat emerged was a much later start time and cooler conditions. Jung­ mann took full advantage, able to work through a Louisiana State lineup that had smashed 105 home runs on the season with ease, al­ lowing only one extra base hit. "First there was the rain," Texas head coach Augie Garrido said. "It played an important part in this, it took the temperature way down, hum idity way down. It helped Taylor ... finish the game." The Texas offen se played a part, too. With five runs in the first three innings, the Longhorns established a com fortable four- run cushion for Jungmann, allow­ ing him to rear back and go after LSU's hitters. "Jungmann was brilliant in his performance," Garrido said. "His teammates got him an early lead, and in my opinion, nothing helps a pitcher's curveball like a four- run lead." With the stage set, Jungmann took over. He bul­ lie d th e T ig ers w ith every pitch in his repertoire, beating them with fastballs, fooling them with sliders and curvebails at will. — Taylor Jungm ann "I threw all of [my pitches] for strikes whenever I wanted to ," he said. "Just pound­ in g th e z o n e , throwing strikes." W hat few jam s he did get into, he somehow solved. DJ LeM ahieu's leadoff triple in the third inning seemed destined to start the Tiger rally. The heart of the order was coming up, and the four-run lead already seemed in danger. LeM ahieu never ad­ vanced. The tying run would get no closer than the on-deck circle. I With the help of his defense, busy atoning for the three errors it would commit Tuesday, Jung­ mann would face the minimum of 12 batters through the next four innings, turning two dou­ b le plays as he sw ept through the LSU lineup like the lightning b o lts that peppered O m ah a's skies hours earlier. The rally everyone knew was coming never materialized. Only two base-runners reached base over the last two innings, neither hitting the ball out of the infield. And finally, after nine innings and three hours, it was over. One last rising fastball. One last over­ matched hitter. One last game to decide the national champion.

Photos by Paul Chouy | Da ly Texan Staff By Austin Talbert Daily Texan Staff OM AHA, Neb. — On Monday, fresh­ man pitcher Taylor Jungmann struggled. He threw six pitches, all were balls. Tex­ as lost. On Tuesday, starting the second game of the College World Series Cham pion­ ship Series against Louisiana State a day after contributing to the pitching collapse, Jungmann threw 126 more effective pitch­ es, working a com plete game and keep­ ing the Tigers offense to a single run. Tex­ as won 5-1. "First, there was the rain. It played a part in this, an important part. Took the temp way down and it helped Taylor," Texas coach Augie Garrido said of the 94-min- ute rain delay at Omaha's Rosenblatt Sta­ dium. "When we first got to the ballpark, it was sfeaming. He was brilliant in his performance. His teammates got him an earlv lead, and I have always had a feel­ ing through the years, the best thing for a pitcher's curveball is a four-run lead." For the Tigers, who had yet to commit an error while in Omaha, the start was ugly — beginning with the four-pitch walk LSU starter Austin Ross issued to Michael Tor­ res. Trying to counter a bunt attempt, Tiger catcher Micah Gibbs attempted to pick off Torres at first, but his errant throw sailed into right field moving Torres to second. Travis Tucker then bunted Torres over to third, where he scored on a Brandon Belt single into right. "The start was terrible for us," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "It started us off on a bad foot right aw'ay. Pretty fortunate that we didn't' give up more than two runs there." Ross (6-8, 5.18 ERA) and LSU could nev­ er recover from the rocky start. In the sec­ ond inning, Texas left fielder Preston Clark turned the second pitch he saw into yet another Longhorn solo shot — giving Tex­ as a 2-1 lead. The quick start offensively gave the tall, lanky freshman a lead to work with. Jung­ mann responded, shutting down LSU and holding the Tigers to only five hits and no earned runs while striking out nine. The Tigers scored their lone unearned run in the second with the help of a rare Brandon Loy error. "1 was just staying back, I had a really good feel for the ball today," Jungmann said. "That is about it, it is just a feel." Texas responded, immediately answer­ ing the Tiger's run with three of its own in the top of the third. W hen LSU brought in lefty Ryan Byrd to start the third, designated hitter Rus­ sell Moldenhauer, in his 43rd appearance and 25th start of the season, knew he had a chance at his first official at-bat against a left-handed pitcher this season. In only two plate appearances against southpaws this season, Moldenhauer had drawn two walks. With one out in the third, he ap­ peared to be on his way to a third walk. But on a 3-1 pitch, the left-handed hitter liked what he saw. A lot. "I was seeing the ball good, laying off on slid ers," M oldenhauer said. "I had a hunch he would come back inside with a fastball. Luckily, he left it up enough for me to elevate it. Put the bat on the ball." His first official at-bat against a lefty be­ came his fourth home run of the season — all of which have come in Omaha. "The response was important. You want to try to win the inning when you are a visitor to maintain the same score," Garri­ do said. "I join the 350,000 Longhorn fans who wonder why I took him out yester­ day." The M oldenhauer hom er opened the floodgates. Cameron Rupp followed with a double to right. After an out — a deep Kevin Keyes fly to the warning track — a double by Connor Rowe scored Rupp. Preston Clark (3-for-4) w ould drive in his second run of the game on a single through the left side of the infield pushing the score to 5-1. A day after looking lost and frazzled on the mound, against the same team, the freshman felt it, cruising to his first career complete game while also playing the big­ gest game of his young Longhorn career. "Save it for the end, m an," Jungmann said about his last, and best, pitching per­ form ance. "I was pounding the zone, throwing strikes and going right at hit­ ters." Ju n g m a n n 's dom inant p erform ance kept Texas alive and forced a winner-take- all game tonight for the national champi­ onship. LSU starter Anthony Ranaudo — the Ti­ gers' Friday night starter all season — will face off with Cole Green in tonight's game for the national championship. The best-of-three championshio series, and Texas' season comes down to the one final game. "A fter last night, I took a major change in position with the two-out-of-three be­ ing the best format," Garrido said. "We all know that anything can happen. Tomor­ row just gets to be the final game of a great season. The No. 1 ranked team in the polls and the No. 1 seeded team for the national championship." And in a season chock-full of drama, there wouldn't be a better way to end it. "Now, we have created-just another bit of drama," Garrido said. "The survival in­ stinct is much stronger when you know you are going to be eliminated or beaten out, we fight harder. Tomorrow is the final start — 288 started, two are left with one game to play. Pretty awesome." Freshm an Taylor Jun gm an n throw s a pitch to LSU senior third base­ m an Derek Helenihi. Jun gm an n had nine strikeouts in his first com ­ plete g a m e of his career. Paul Chouy ! D aily Texan Staff Inflatable mascot keeps bullpen company as rainbows arc across the sky Multiple momentum-killing plays end Tigers'win streak LSU coach Paul Mainieri is excit­ ed about tonight's matchup for his team, especially after such a frus­ trating loss. The biggest point of frustration for the Tigers on Tuesday: the third inning and failing to respond to Texas' three runs after L S I second baseman DJ LeMahieu started with a triple off the wall in right field — that was just feet away from leaving the park as his second homer in as many days. Texas pitcher Taylor Jungmann, who said he "bears down" with runners on base, would respond and get Ryan Schimpf to pop out. After a walk, Jungmann struck out Pflugerville's Micah Gibbs and forced Mikie Mahtook to ground into a fielder's choice to end the in­ ning. "That was very frustrating. He missed a homer by inches, and we had a runner on third with our 2,3,4 guys coming up," Mainieri said. "That was a frustrating inning for us." It was a frustrating game for LSU. Another budding rally in the fourth was nipped by an amazing double­ play turn between second baseman Travis Tucker and shortstop Bran­ don Loy. Tucker scooped the Der­ ek Heleruhi grounder while sprint­ ing toward the outfield and made a no-look flip backward toward Loy at second. "We had three innings like that, with a runner on and got out of that," Texas coach Augie Garrido said. "Taylor worked his way out of that. The double play up the middle that Tucker started, that was a great play to end that rally. But it was also about quality pitching." It took momentum killers like the double play to keep the Tigers from clawing back into yet another game. "It was the first time we have lost in 15 games. It is pretty hard to win in baseball, at least they tell me," Mainieri joked about his team's 14- game win streak that Texas snapped Tuesday. — A u stin Talbert Free Willy — I mean Carlos, Texas' new inflatable friend The last couple of games have seen a new addition to the Texas dugout and bullpen. First spotted during the Arizona State series last week, Carlos, formerly known as Willie, is the inflatable killer whale accompanying Texas players in the bullpen and on the bench. Renamed in homage to the baby in the hit comedy "The Hang­ over," Carlos has been doing his best to give the Horns some good luck as they go in search of a sev­ enth national title. He's also served to keep players loose during stop­ pages like Tuesday's 94-minute rain delay, during which he remained beached on the dirt beside the Tex­ as dugout. He originally began his College World Series existence as a fan-amusement toy, but worked his way to the Texas dugout, where he seems to have found a home for at least one more game. — M ichael Sherfield Somewhere over the rainbow ... there m ight beaHarrah's There might have been a couple pots of gold in Omaha last night. After a lengthy storm delayed the start of game 2 of the championship series, the weather atoned with two striking rainbows, one seemingly hovering over the other. With gam­ bler-friendly Iowa just miles down the road — trust us, we ended up there trying to find the stadium — there might have been more than a few locals and baseball fans eager to try their hands while the weather pointed the way. We can only hope Harrah's is still in business. - M S At home in Rosenblatt Stadium homering 'Horns are lonely The Longhorns have finally found their power in Omaha, but seem to have left their timing in Texas. The Longhorns have hit 13 home runs in the College World Se­ ries after hitting only 39 in the en­ tire regular season, but 12 of them have been with the bases empty. Cameron Rupp is the lone Long­ horn to have had company in trot­ ting the bases after his three-run blast against A S U cut the Sun Dev­ il's lead in half last Tuesday. He fol­ lowed later in that game with a solo shot and another in the ninth inning in Texas' 4-3 win on Friday to send Texas to the final series. Meanwhile, Russell Molden­ hauer (4), Connor Rowe (2), Travis Tucker (1), Michael Torres (1), Kev­ in Keyes (1) and Preston Clark (1) have all gone deep, but put only one run on the board. — MS Projected starters for game 3 LSU • A nthony R a n a u d o (11-3) Texas • C o le G reen (5-3) CWS Facts • LSU h a d n 't lost tw o straigh t gam es sin ce A pril 18 and 19 • L SU has n ev er lost a ch am p io n sh ip series in th e C W S • L a st tw o te a m s to fo rce a g a m e 3 b o th w o n th e n a tio n a l c h a m p io n ­ ship (O regon State 2006, Fresn o S ta te 2008) • T ay lor Ju n g m a n n tie s C W S record w ith three w in s - • R u sse l M o ld e n h a u e r ties C W S re­ cord w ith fo u r h o m e ru ns Source: ESPN.com ITT INFORMAL classes SEST brunches L B4 museum country vino áb M ille r vv w w QuartersOnCampus .com ■v mm C ornu copia, which puts an o rig i­ Elhaj said. “It’s two people doing what nal spin on classic popcorn, is spread­ they want to do, and doing it locally. ing the tem pting arom a o f its salty A ustin is all about keeping it weird, butter. and sweet treats down the sweltering and it’s kin d o f crazy to have 45 flavors' D rag this sum m er.

S U M M ER IN AU ST IN _____ s u m m e r s By Eun Book Kwon W h e n summer rolls around, many students and professionals dream of escaping the daily grind and relaxing w ith a nice glass of wine. In reality, running off on a tropical getaway might not be in the budget this year. Plane tickets are expensive and gas prices are steadily climbing. Luckily, it is a bargain for Austinites to get away from daily burdens, breathe fresh air and sip Texas-grown wines at Texas H ill C ou ntry wineries. Located west of Austin and north o f San Antonio, the Texas H ill C o u n try wineries are bus­ ily finalizing Harvest Trail, one of five annual trail events that enhances the w in ery experience. Collecting w ine labels along the way is just one of the interesting activities. W h e n guests purchase tickets, they receive notebooks where they paste wine labels and document their experiences o f the various wines and wineries. “ It’s kind of like a little diary,” said Jan u ary W iese, wine trail coordinator of the Texas H ill C ou ntry W ineries. “ So they w ill look back and see what wines they liked and why they liked it.” The Harvest Trail, which runs $35 per person, w ill span two weekends: Aug. 14 to 16 and Aug. 21 to 23.

He co-sponsored legislation for the establishment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (N A SA ) in 1958 and, as vice president, he was appointed chairman of the National Space Council in 1961 by Museums exhibit “ To the Moon: President Kennedy. The American Space Program in the 1960s,” which opened last year on the anniversary of President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s 100th birthday. “ We decided to do the exhibit on the space program because we feel that [President Johnson] has not gotten the proper credit tor moving it forward in the 1960s,’ said curator Sandy Cohen. It was a good way to honor him and also tell the story of the space pro­ gram.” “ To the Moon” gives visitors a vivid glimpse into the space rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union that took place in the 1960s, starting with Sputnik I, the world’s first artificial satellite launched by the Soviets in 1957, and ending w ith the U.S. Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.

The interior looks like an upscale bistro, but feel free to go dressed as you are. Go early for Sunday brunch, though, because there is usually a wait. The manager, Chance Robertson, said, “We always want to exceed customer expectations and really wow them with our food.” So far, they’ve done just that. Their car­ rot cake French toast was recent­ ly featured on a Food Network special. Robertson describes the food as, “contem porary classic with a Southwestern flare.” Their brunch menu puts a new spin on traditional favorites, like eggs benedict done South Congress style, and for a reasonable price — only $11. Their cocktails share the unique ch arm of the food with concoctions including gin- ger-mango mimosas and Tito- mfused bloody marys.
