Because the carrying of a hacksaw is somewhat suspicious, the reporting person continued to watch as the subject climbed onto one of the statues located on the South Mall. The responding officers arrived in time to witness the subject climbing down from the statue. Fresh damage, in the form of a one-eighth inch cut mark, was observed on the statue. In addition to other law enforcement action taken, the subject was also issued a written criminal trespass warning. Repair cost: $200.00.

UTÕs core budget devotes half of its $758 million in salary money to the top 25 percent of its employees, whose pay ranges from $75,000 to $510,000. The top 300 employees, including chief administrators and faculty, earned a combined $67 mil¥lion this year Ñ the same amount earned by the 2,500 ing several technology maintenance jobs and has learned that UT oper¥ates like a three-legged stool.

At universities, the salary for the same positions range from $39,000 to $64,000. ÒIn the current economy, peo¥ple are hanging onto their jobs, but in the past, itÕs been a problem for some [University] positions because people have said, ÔI canÕt deny mak¥ing 20 or 30 percent more, I have to move on,ÕÓ he said.

POLICE continues on page 2 Veronica Rosalez | Daily Texan Staff UHS to increase flu shot supplies to curb shortages By Ahsika Sanders Daily Texan Staff University Health Servic¥es kicked off its campaign to fight the flu Tuesday by offer¥ing its first vaccination clinic of the season. UHS provides more than 11,000 faculty members and students with $10 flu vaccina¥tions each year. They have am¥ped up supplies for this yearÕs clinics after facing last seasonÕs swine flu pandemic. UHS Associate Director Ja¥mie Shutter said the depart¥ment increased supplies by 1,400 doses to prevent a repeat of 2009-10 season shortage. ÒLast year, we gave out 10,600 flu shots, but after the swine flu scare we ran out of supplies,Ó she said. ÒWe couldnÕt get any¥thing else and had to cancel our last four clinics.Ó Shutter said she does not think there will be a shortage this year because UHS ordered 12,000 doses for their 13 clinics. UHS provided funding for the increased amount of vac¥cinations for students and the Office of the President for fac¥ulty and staff, so the price will not raise above last yearÕs $10. Shutter said itÕs impossible to predict the trends of the flu or the amount of students that may seek shots or treatment, but UHSÕs biggest concern is getting people educated and, more importantly, vaccinated.

ÒWe had supplies of the season¥al shots as early as September,Ó she said.

Barasch said they are more than prepared to accommodate the expected traffic this year, having ordered 10,000 doses of the new vaccination. ÒOur focus is really on pro¥viding the uninsured and poor¥ly insured with free vaccines, so our supply should be more than sufficient,Ó Barasch said.

The owners of the Panama¥flagged Izumi received an au¥tomatically released distress signal Sunday afternoon, indi¥cating that the vessel was like¥ly under attack by pirates, said E.U. Naval Force spokesman Lt. Col. Per Klingvall. A Danish warship was sent to investigate and made contact with the IzumiÕs captain early Monday. He reported that the ship was under pirate control. It is now traveling to Somalia and is around 170 miles south of the Somali capital of Mogadishu. A French warship is moni¥toring the situation as the Izu¥mi heads toward Somalia, said Klingvall. The Izumi is operated by NYK-Hinode Line, Ltd and was traveling between Singapore and Mombasa, said Yuki Shimo¥da, an official at JapanÕs Trans¥port Ministry. It was not imme¥diately known what cargo the 14,152-ton Izumi was carrying. Somali pirates now hold 18 ships and 389 crew. The sailors are not usually hurt or killed but can be held for months while their captors negotiate a multimillion-dollar ransom. Somalia has been a failed state for nearly 20 years and the cash from piracy is one of the few ways its inhabitants can make money. The lionÕs share of the loot is usually split between financiers, negotiators, and lo¥cal militias. The gunmen who go out to sea in tiny skiffs and guard the captive ships also get a cut, usually between $10,000 and $15,000 each. Couple unknowingly purchases human skeleton in yard sale TAMPA, Fla. Ñ A Florida cou¥ple thought they were buying a Halloween decoration at a yard sale, but it turns out they bought a real human skeleton. Judith and Mitchell Fletcher paid $8 for what they thought was a box of scary holiday decorations at a yard sale in Brandon. When they got the box home, they realized they had bought real bones. They called the Hillsborough County SheriffÕs Office. Detec¥tives took the bones to the medical examiner, who determined they came from a professionally pre¥pared human anatomical skeleton, normally used in medical courses. SheriffÕs spokesperson Cristal Ber¥mudez Nunez said detectives are contacting colleges and universities who may be missing a skeleton. State law prohibits individuals from owning human skeletons, so the Fletchers wonÕt get the bones back. Ñ The Associated Press By Julie Watson The Associated Press CARLSBAD, Calif. Ñ Chil¥dren returning Monday to an el¥ementary school where a gun¥man wounded two girls on a play¥ground cheered and hugged con¥struction workers who police said knocked down the shooter as he struggled to reload his gun. Hundreds of parents, students and teachers Ñ including the two bandaged girls Ñ gave a standing ovation to the three workers dur¥ing a family picnic at Kelly Ele¥mentary School. A shout of ÒViva KellyÓ rang out three times, and the men were given gift baskets and handmade cards from the children, includ¥ing one that read: ÒDear Heroes: Thank You.Ó ÒWeÕre not here today about a tragedy. What weÕre doing here to¥day is celebrating a miracle,Ó Prin¥cipal Tressie Armstrong said at a news conference held at a park near the school Monday, three days after the attack. Matthew Keller came with his wife and 8-year-old son, who wit¥nessed the attack. ÒHe was ready to go back,Ó Keller said of his son. ÒIt was a scary experience for him. HeÕs been open about talking and he wanted to get back to talk to his friends.Ó Janitors had cleaned blood from the sidewalk over the weekend, and counselors met Monday with teachers and were available to talk with students shaken by the attack. Police remained on heightened pa¥trol, but school officials were try¥ing to make the day one of grati¥tude, not fear. Brendan OÕRourke, 41, of Ocean¥side was arrested Friday for inves¥tigation of attempted murder and remained jailed without bail. De¥tectives were preparing to present the case to the San Diego County District AttorneyÕs Office for possi¥ble charges. Police believe OÕRourke armed himself with a .357-magnum re¥volver, jumped a fence and opened fire toward the crowded play¥ground. The two girls, ages 6 and 7, were each shot in an arm. Construction workers building a school cafeteria chased the gun¥man. Police said Carlos Partida jumped in his pickup truck and rammed the man, knocking him down. He and others held the man for police, authorities said. Morrison said OÕRourke told detectives he had considered other schools for the attack but decided on Kelly, although in¥vestigators did not immediately know why. OÕRourke was licensed to be a security guard in California, though he was not working as one. He was working for a tele¥marketing company and had no previous criminal record, the po¥lice chief said. At the picnic, the wounded girls hugged Partida. ÒI think this is the biggest thank¥you IÕve ever seen,Ó he said after the ceremony. Terry Lynn, who lives across the street from the school, and anoth¥er neighbor, Scott Chandler, also were given gift baskets and cards because they had run to help dur¥ing the shooting. ÒI came down here this morn¥ing because I needed it for me, for therapy,Ó Lynn said. ÒIt was won¥derful to see the kids playing. You know, it was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders.Ó Worker thanked with picnic,cards for stopping shooter Gregory Bull | Associated Press Carlos Partida holds a drawing given to him by a student of Kelly Elementary School after he helped detain the gunman in the Oct. 8 shooting.

Editor-in-Chief: Lauren Winchester Phone: (512) 232-2212 E-mail: editor@dailytexanonline.com Associate Editors: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 Viviana Aldous Susannah Jacob OPINION Doug Luippold Dave Player THE DAILY TEXAN GALLERY UT needs domestic partner benefits By Jeremy Yager Daily Texan Guest Columnist The University of Texas has a secret. De¥spite having a sexual orientation nondis¥crimination policy in place for more than 20 years, the University still marginalizes its GLBT faculty and staff in an inequitable workplace. Employees receive benefits such as health insurance and bereavement leave, which extend to their spouses and certain dependents but not to same-sex partners. Because of our UniversityÕs unwillingness to provide domestic partner benefits (DPB), it is estimated that GLBT employees earn¥ing $80,000 annually receive $8,000 less in compensation than their straight counter¥parts, in addition to the further strain of purchasing individual insurance plans out¥of-pocket, or worse, living without insur¥ance altogether. Granted, state law doesnÕt make it easy for us. Because our stateÕs blatantly un¥constitutional ÒDefense of MarriageÓ law dictates that a same-sex partnership can¥not constitute legal marriage, UT-AustinÕs Board of Regents believes that providing DPB is impossible. The regents maintain this excuse even though other public enti¥ties, such as the City of Austin and Travis County, offer such benefits, and public uni¥versities in states with similar anti-gay leg¥islation Ñ Florida, Michigan and Ohio Ñ LEGALESE Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article.

Our Board of Regents seems to have for¥gotten UT also has a constitutional man¥date to provide its employees with insur¥ance benefits comparable to those found elsewhere. Consider that each of the top- 10 universities in the nation, virtually all of our peer institutions and a whopping 83 percent of Fortune 100 companies provide DPB, and it is abundantly clear that the benefits we currently provide to our faculty and staff are anything but Òcompetitive.Ó There have been several documented in¥stances of talented faculty members leaving UT and potential hires choosing to go else¥where solely because we do not offer DPB. That this harms our ability to recruit competi¥tively is obvious. The monetary cost is no less troubling: Implementing DPB would repre¥sent a miniscule 0.58 percent of our current health insurance budget while the cost of re¥placing a single faculty member can run as high as $1.2 million, according to a 2008 re¥port by the Pride and Equity Faculty and Staff Association. Simply put, if we hope to realize our goal of becoming the top public university in the na¥tion, we cannot allow for the continuation of backwards, discriminatory policies that ren¥der Portland State University a more attrac¥tive destination than The University of Texas. The black-and-white argument for DPB is strong, but we cannot forget the human el¥ement Ñ When the partner of a GLBT staff member recently died as a result of pancreat¥ic cancer, the staff member was not even af¥forded paid leave to mourn her loss. Provid¥ing competitive benefits isnÕt simply a ques¥tion of smart business, it is a matter of doing what is right, fostering an atmosphere of ac¥ceptance at UT and asserting that the Univer¥sity believes the love between same-sex cou¥ples is no less valid than that of straight cou¥ples. The University of Texas is an incredible place not only because of its strong academ¥ics and athletics, but because of the diversity of ideas, beliefs and backgrounds that defines our community. UT President William Powers Jr. recent¥ly asserted his support for providing DPB, and he is working with campus leaders to ex¥plore extending soft benefits Ñ including sick and bereavement leave Ñ to GLBT staff. Stu¥dent Government will hopefully follow suit tonight when pro-DPB legislation is brought to a vote. But words are not enough, and we cannot be satisfied with partial and symbol¥ic victories. We have a responsibility to make the University of Texas the best that it can be, and this starts with treating every member of our community equally. We must make DPB a top priority. Yager is a University-Wide Representative in Student Government. Unplug, then study By Charlie Saginaw Daily Texan Columnist Perhaps the technology-loathing Luddites of the early 19th century best understood the key to success for the second round of mid¥terms and papers. While UT students should refrain from destroying private property or obstructing technological progress, they can learn a valu¥able lesson about exam studying from these historical technophobes: The temporary dis¥connection from the Internet and social net¥working sites can maximize class prepara¥tion and improve academic performance. Anthropology and engineering majors alike pack up their textbooks, coil their com¥puter cords and head to the FAC to study, but before they can crack open the first page of their textbooks, they are barraged by text messages, YouTube videos and tagged pho¥tos. Despite the genuine desire to hunker down, many students also juggle the new temptations of technology. The web connects Longhorns to a seemingly limitless ocean of useful infor¥mation, but as UT students connect more and more, many will engage in academ¥ics less and less. Instead of streamlining tasks like schoolwork, the 21st century inclination to multitask with MP3 play¥ers and 3G networks decreases efficien¥cy, often resulting in procrastination and lower grades on tests and papers. The first culprit, a wireless Internet connection, lures undergraduates away from their word documents into a jungle of tangents. Whether watching the lat¥est episode of Ò30 RockÓ on hulu.com the night before an organic chemistry test or catching up with friends on instant mes¥senger while writing a research paper, students often discover just as many dis¥tractions as relevant pieces of informa¥tion. The solution, however, is simple: Turn off WiFi whenever possible. In recent years the Internet has moved beyond the computer and into a new frontier: smart phones. Now many li¥brary-goers constantly attach themselves to the outside world, allowing text messages, e-mails and phone calls to flood study envi¥ronments. Phone vibration indicating a new e-mail or sports update causes some stu¥dents to grab their phone in the middle of the PCL; perhaps such jittery reactions merit one smart phoneÕs nickname as Òthe Crack¥berry.Ó By setting iPhones and Blackberries on airplane mode, Internet phone users can resist the urge of checking e-mail and toying with new applications. More than any other social networking site, Facebook is the major accomplice to procrastination. Maybe the ÒFÓ in Facebook stands for the failing letter grade. An Amer¥ican Education Research Association survey of 219 undergraduate and graduate students showed that GPAs of Facebook users typi¥cally ranged a full grade point lower than those of nonusers Ñ 3.0 to 3.5 for users ver¥sus 3.5 to 4.0 for their non-networking peers. The study also found that Ò79 percent of Fa¥cebook members did not believe there was any connection between their GPA and their networking habits.Ó Instead of planting the next harvest on Farmville at the FAC, con¥sider temporarily deactivating your Face¥book account during heavy exam weeks. Laptops, iPhones and even Facebook con¥veniences studentsÕ daily tasks, but they would benefit to be wary of the limits of these tools. When these tools become ends in themselves Ñ instead of means Ñ under¥graduates waste precious time in a grey zone, caught between the library and the activities they wish they were doing. In this tail-wag¥ging-the-dog situation, students do neither school work nor other activities well. Perhaps a few students possess the mul¥titasking skill of watching YouTube vid¥eos and preparing for a calculus test or the self-restraint to avoid the first two all to¥gether. But for the rest, a few guidelines re¥garding technology and a little self-control can save hours of inefficient studying each week Ñ opening new time for a life outside of school.

The Robert S. Strauss Cen¥ter for International Securi¥ty and Law hosted Kahl as a part of the centerÕs Interna¥tional Security Speaker Series. The speech, ÒBuilding a Long-Term Strategic Partnership with Iraq,Ó focused on IraqÕs successful decrease in vio¥lence since 2004 and its estab¥lishment of a self-reliant gov¥ernment. The speaker series, held ev¥ery year, is a flagship initia¥tive of the Strauss Center. Su¥sie Herbstritt, administrative associate at the center, said KahlÕs speech was a great fit for this yearÕs focus on inter¥national security. ÒItÕs a series about building international ties, so a speech about our relationship with Iraq and Middle Eastern coun¥tries is very relevant,Ó Herb¥stritt said. Francis J. Gavin, director of the LBJ School of Public Af¥fairs, described Kahl as a man with Òthe most difficult job on the planet,Ó in his introduction of his long-time friend. He said it is KahlÕs qualifica¥tion on Iraqi foreign policy and his unparalleled awareness of the American-Middle Eastern policy that made him an ideal candidate to open the series. ÒWe seek the most talent¥ed rising stars, who can con¥nect policy to national rela¥tions, to come out and speak, and he is beyond knowledge¥able on these matters in Iraq,Ó Gavin said. Kahl said Iraq progressed from a society plagued by vio¥lence to a functional and secure democracy. Decreasing Ameri¥can military presence Ñ from 144,000 to 50,000 since 2009 Ñ was a milestone in IraqÕs re¥covery, he said. ÒNow that we have with¥drawn, security incidents have steadily decreased,Ó Kahl said. ÒThe draw down of U.S. mili¥tary forces is a foundation for building a long-term relation¥ship with Iraq.Ó Research sheds light on tsunamis By Anna Fata Daily Texan Staff Tsunamis are more likely to occur in large cities such as Los Angeles, Istanbul and Kings¥ton, than geologists previous¥ly thought, according to UT re¥searchers. After receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation, six UT researchers were able to trav¥el to Haiti weeks after the Jan. 12 earthquake and subsequent tsuna¥mi that killed as many as 250,000 people and caused more than $7 billion in damage. ÒMost tsunamis are caused by earthquakes vertically dis¥placing the water, causing a large wave,Ó said Matt Horn¥bach, UT research associate and lead author on a paper about the findings. Clifford Frohlich, associ¥ate director of the Institute for Geophysics and co-author of the paper, said the biggest tsu¥namis of our time, including the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, had thrust fault lines, which vertically displace water. Hai¥ti, however, lies on a strike-slip fault line that horizontally dis¥places water. Before UTÕs research, geol¥ogists thought strike-slip fault lines were less likely to cause tsunamis. ÒThe main surprise about this research is that we were getting large tsunamis on a strike-slip fault,Ó he said. ÒThe tsunami hazard on faults of that kind is higher than people thought be¥fore our research.Ó Researchers found the tsuna¥mi that hit Haiti was much larg¥er than what would have been caused solely by the earthquake. After modeling the tsunami that would have been caused by the earthquake alone, the research¥ers accredited the tsunami to under-water landslides. Scientists previously estimat¥ed landslides have caused only 3 percent of tsunamis. The find¥ings led the researchers to con¥clude that 30 percent of tsuna¥mis in North America are likely to occur because of landslides. Major cities that fall along strike-slip faults are now con¥sidered at risk for post-earth¥quake tsunamis include Kings¥ton, Istanbul and Los Angeles. A goal of the research is to spread awareness, so at-risk cities can be better prepared in the event of a tsunami, Horn¥bach said. ÒWe canÕt really predict these things very well and you canÕt you prevent them from happening, but with prepara¥tion and education and proper building [it] can help prevent the loss of lives,Ó he said. Perry demands response to shooting By Kelley Shannon The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO Ñ Gov. Rick Perry said Monday heÕs disheart¥ened that the wife of a missing American who was reportedly shot by pirates on a Texas-Mexi¥co border lake hasnÕt heard from U.S. federal officials. Perry said he spoke with Tiffa¥ny Hartley on Monday morning about the search for her husband. David Hartley has not been seen since Sept. 30, when she says pi¥rates on Falcon Lake opened fire on them from speedboats while they were returning from Mex¥ico to the United States on Jet Skis. Her husband was shot in the head and she managed to flee, under fire, to the Texas side of the lake. ÒSheÕs very frustrated and ap¥propriately so. SheÕs not heard one word from the United States federal government. SheÕs not had a call from Secretary of State Clinton, sheÕs not heard from the administration. And I find that re¥ally disheartening,Ó Perry told re¥porters after speaking to an eco¥nomic development summit. Bob Young, Tiffany HartleyÕs father, said his daughter believes the federal government could be doing more. ÒShe doesnÕt really expect Pres¥ident Obama or Clinton to give her a personal call, but sheÕs won¥dering why the federal govern¥ment isnÕt doing more,Ó he said from his home in La Salle, Colo. ÒThey could be putting pressure on Mexico to bring this matter to a close because they know the right people. ... WeÕre hoping that they would take an interest in it.Ó Perry said he hasnÕt gotten a call from Mexican President Fe¥lipe Calderon, as he requested last week, but he said their two offices are communicating. The Mexican government stepped up its search for HartleyÕs body and has named two men sought in connection with the case. Perry said Monday he could not provide any updates on the search for David Hartley or the investigation, including word over the weekend that Mexican authorities were searching for two Mexican brothers as poten¥tial suspects. ÒBoth of our federal govern¥ments need to do more to get to the bottom of this issue,Ó he said. Tamaulipas State Police unit chief Juan Carlos Ballesteros said Mexican investigators be¥lieve brothers Juan Pedro and Jose Manuel Zaldivar Farias may have killed Hartley as he took photos of a sunken church at the lake. The brothers already were sought for allegedly being in a gang of pirates that operates on Falcon Lake and for terrorizing a Mexican town at the south end of the lake. Perry said once again that the Hartley incident points to the need for heightened bor¥der security by the U.S. federal government. ÒThe American people have had it up to here with their lack of understanding and their lack of action securing that border, where citizens of both sides can know that they are living in a country where theyÕre going to be safe,Ó he said. He said the U.S. will focus its efforts on continuing to as¥sist Iraqi security forces and to build one of the worldÕs largest embassies in Baghdad, which Kahl said will increase civil¥ian presence and strengthen American ties in Middle East¥ern affairs. ÒThe goal is to withdraw military presence from Iraq without abandoning the Iraq¥is,Ó Kahl said. He said one of the main goals in declaring a long-term partnership with Iraq is Amer¥icaÕs attempt to first establish a civil presence there. ÒWe will continue to help provide secure systems, man¥age weapons and provide training to assist Iraqi security forces,Ó he said. Inter-college link to boost speeds with fiber optics By Anna Fata Daily Texan Staff A federal grant has allowed the creation of a fiber-optic network connecting five of the most pop¥ulous colleges in the Rio Grande Valley, providing access to na¥tional databases and information sharing that could promote the research efforts of colleges in the Valley. The network will cover the four counties of the Valley Ñ Hi¥dalgo, Cameron, Willacy and Starr Ñ and will pro¥vide a connec¥tion of 10 giga¥bytes per second to UT-Pan Amer¥ican, UT-Browns¥ville, South Tex¥as College, Tex¥as State Techni¥cal College and the University of Texas Health Sci¥ence Center.

That network could be estab¥lished with Fox within two weeks. IMG College, the LonghornsÕ mul¥timedia rights holder, is expected to choose Fox over ESPN, establishing a channel that would launch in Au¥gust of 2011. The channel would po¥tentially be broadcast by distribu¥tors such as DirecTV, AT&T Inc. and Time Warner Cable at a cost any¥where from 10 to 70 cents a month. Texas hopes to show at least one football game and a handful of bas¥ketball games to improve the val¥ue of the network. With an owner¥ship stake, Texas could expect about $3 million in annual revenue and a dramatically increased profile across the region. The program would feature live and taped sporting events, a Longhorn Sports Center¥type show and academic program¥ming, such as speeches and Univer¥sity features about 8 to 12 percent of the time. -Jordan Godwin PLAYER OF THE WEEK RACHAEL ADAMS Position: Middle Blocker Height: 6Õ2Ó Class: Junior Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio For the second week in a row, Rachael Adams has been picked as Big 12 Player of the Week, after leading her team past Colorado and Kansas State last week.

But like many of his teammates, Randall just wound up watching foot¥ball when he attended a game played by Lamar University. ÒIt was pretty cool to see my friends play, and I got to be a spectator for a change,Ó Ran¥dall said. Practice dummy Every Longhorn defensive player is well aware of the sen¥sational game that Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez had Thursday night. The dual-threat quarter¥back lit up Kansas State, pass¥ing for 128 yards on just sev¥en attempts and rushing for 241 yards on 15 carries. On the sea¥son, heÕs averaging a staggering 10.3 yards per pass, 10.8 yards per rush attempt and he also leads the country with 12 rush¥ing touchdowns. With his ridic¥ulous statistics, the Longhorns are already crediting him as a Heisman front-runner, and heÕs drawing big comparisons. ÒI donÕt even remember Vince running for that many yards,Ó said head coach Mack Brown, forgetting about YoungÕs visit to Oklahoma State in 2005 when he rushed for 267 yards. But to simulate MartinezÕs abilities in practice, the coach¥es have utilized athletic scout team receiver Brock Fitzhenry, who played quarterback at Gid¥dings High School. Fitzhenry has quite a resume Ñ in 2008, as a senior at Giddings, he rushed for 9.2 yards per carry, and his 36 100-yard rushing games rank ninth in Texas high school foot¥ball history. ÒBrock does a good job for us, but itÕs tough to simulate Marti¥nez,Ó said defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. ÒHeÕs a great player whoÕs not only quick, but heÕs very fast as well.Ó Static depth chart Despite losing consecutive games, the Texas coaches didnÕt make many changes in the depth chart. Freshman receiver Mike Da¥vis, one of TexasÕ most reliable playmakers early in the season, is probable for the game. Da¥vis suffered a knee injury in the loss to UCLA and was unable to play against Oklahoma, but heÕs listed as one of the either/ or starters at flanker, along with seniors John Chiles and James Kirkendoll. After a solid game against Oklahoma where he rushed for 53 yards on nine carries, ju¥nior Fozzy Whittaker is still the starter at running back.

The absence of these three key players, as well as more than a dozen others who were all missing from UNCÕs season-opening 30-24 loss to LSU in Atlanta, caused the Tar Heels to drop their first two games of the year, also losing to Georgia Tech by an identi¥cal score of 30-24 in week two. Davis has rallied the troops, however, and the Heels have now won three straight over quality opponents.

Alabama slipped up last week when no one thought it was possible. This week, not many people think itÕs possible for Texas to go to Lincoln and upset the fifth-ranked team in the country. ÒI havenÕt heard anybody say that we have a chance,Ó said head coach Mack Brown. Well then let me be the first. Texas does have a chance. They have a good chance. Not just to keep it close, but to win. The Longhorns know what to expect and are familiar with NebraskaÕs schemes. More im¥portantly, the Longhorns are hungry and ready to show that they deserve to be back in the rankings. ÒIÕm ready,Ó said cornerback Aaron Williams. ÒI wished we played tomorrow. I wished we played in five minutes.Ó Despite the two losses, the Longhorns still feel like they are among the best teams in the country and are capable of win¥ning every game. ÒWe always feel like we are going to win no matter what the situation,Ó said defensive tackle Kheeston Randall. ÒWe still feel like that.Ó See, the players still feel good about themselves. And so should you. DonÕt be ashamed to wear your burnt orange to class to¥morrow. Continue to be proud of being a Longhorn. If you see a football player on campus, give him a high five and a couple of words of encouragement. Although a national champi¥onship may be out of the ques¥tion, Texas can still take other teams out of the BCS race. The Longhorns can still make it to the Big 12 Championship game and a BCS bowl. It is way too early to give up. As Bluto from ÒAnimal HouseÓ said, ÒWas it over when the Ger¥mans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!Ó So get your heads up. Get back to that confidence and con¥tinue to show your Texas pride. Remember that you could be somewhere much worse, like Nebraska. Does anyone even know where Nebraska is?

ÒWe have no excuses. We gave ourselves too much to do,Ó forward Eddie Johnson said about letting in two ear¥ly goals in each half that put Austin in a bind, especially considering that it needed to win by three to advance on the aggregate goal total. Now the Aztex will go into offseason with a chip on their shoulder and with something to build off of. ÒNobody expected us to do as well. We can be proud of that,Ó forward Jamie Watson said of his teamÕs advance¥ment throughout the year. Even Heath was pleasant¥ly surprised with the teamÕs overall success this year, de¥spite the end result. ÒWe made huge strides this year,Ó said Heath, who will have the playersÕ full focus heading into what should be a difficult offseason. The players arenÕt going to be sitting back and riding the accomplishments of this year into next season. They intend to get better and work to go even further then they did this year as they try to bring a championship to Austin.

Four months after the event, the issue of equality was still strong in the air, and more than 100 gay and lesbian activ¥ists gathered in Massachusetts to discuss their next move. Recognizing the large amount of anti-gay sentiments around the country, the group decid¥ed to commemorate that fate¥ful day in Washington by cre¥ating a national celebration. Rob Eichberg and Jean OÕLeary founded the National Coming Out Day headquarters in Cali¥fornia. Their goal: Expand the celebration to include 21 states. Leading to a grand confer¥ence, the response to this event was so great that Eichberg and OÕLeary decided to make it an annual event. Thus, a movement was born. National Coming Out Day is a nationwide celebration that encourages all people to Òcome out of the closet.Ó For UT alumnus Emmanuel Winston, coming out has been one of the most liberating ex¥periences of his life. On Feb. 19, 2010, four men in Downtown Austin assaulted Winston as he walked to his car from a gay club. Winston was attacked and brutally beaten, all the while hearing the men utter slurs based on his sexual orientation. The cruel words broke through WinstonÕs pain-cloud¥ed mind and beaten body. In that moment, it dawned on him that he was not being mugged, he was being attacked because he was gay. ÒI thought that in all places, it would never happen in Aus¥tin,Ó Winston said, his voice col¥ored with a sad disbelief. ÒI al¥ways felt safe in Austin.Ó Up until the attack, only Win¥stonÕs very close friends knew that he was gay. ÒI had wanted to come out [publicly] a long time ago, but I was really worried about what my sisters, my mom and my dad would think about me, that they would love me different¥ly,Ó Winston said. After the attack, Winston had an important decision to make; one that would change his life. The police hadnÕt decided whether or not to acknowledge the crime as a hate crime, an ac¥tion that frustrated Winston. It was an injustice, Winston thought. Motivated by a sense of activism, he decided he would come out. His parents still did not know he was gay, and Win¥ston came out to them first, steeling himself for his pub¥lic revelation. Despite his big¥gest fears, his parents support¥ed him. A few days later, Em¥manuel Winston told the city of Austin he was gay on live TV. Many gay individuals do not ever let people around them know that theyÕre gay because they fear social persecution. There are countless horror sto¥ries that haunt the gay commu¥nity, from teens getting kicked out of the house and getting fi¥nancially cut off to teens being exiled from their own families. Fear is a constant factor for people in the closet. This is not only a fear about coming out to oneÕs family and friends, but also a fear about realizing that he or she is gay and ac¥cepting oneself.

Unfortunately for Doherty and others fatigued by its vague usage, ÒModern FamilyÓ is ex¥tremely relatable. Last springÕs TV Tuesday colum¥nist Robert Rich correctly predict¥ed that ÒModern FamilyÓ would be a fall hit. Not only was it a hit with viewers, it went on to win six Emmy awards, including Out¥standing Comedy Series this year. Ò[Modern Family] offers a com¥ic equation for almost every audi¥ence segment, while never blan¥ding out the characters for mass consumption,Ó said Entertain¥ment Weekly writer Ken Tuck¥er. ÒIts gift to us is a postmodern¥modern family.Ó While saying Modern Fami¥lyÕs postmodern style Ñ in this in¥stance its clashing subjective narra¥tions style Ñ seems entirely obtuse, itÕs exactly what makes it relatable. Each of the 11 characters are wonderfully subjective so that their distinct flaws are also annoying. ThereÕs Phil, the dorky father who canÕt seem to put his ego aside, or Mitchell, a man who struggles to show affection to his partner of five years. No one character can please all of the viewers at one time or else thereÕs no real conflict. Many times this is where sit¥coms will fail. Take Ò$#*! My Dad Says.Ó If executives care too much about what others think to cen¥sor the original Twitter accountÕs usage of the word Òshit,Ó then how do they expect to capture a 74-year-old dad who doesnÕt care what anyone else thinks?

These special tales that were read to Lithgow as a child and their resurfacing in his adult life inspired the show. ÒMy father used to read sto¥ries to me and my siblings when we were kids out of a big fat book called ÔTeller of Tales,ÕÓ Lithgow said. ÒAs an old man [my fa¥ther] was very depressed. I tried to cheer him up and I got the idea of reading him bedtime stories. I read [the book to my parents] and it just so entertained them that it did the trick and got my father going again.Ó For Lithgow, this discovery was not only a cure for his father but a discovery about his own life as well. ÒThat moment in my life kind of crystallized why it is I do what I do,Ó Lithgow said. ÒIt was all about why we all want and need to read stories. They fill very pri¥mal needs.
