As the Longhorn Network enters its third football sea-son, it has made its way into 5.5 million living rooms and dorms but is still not easily accessible to most students living off campus.

Students can watch the ex-clusive games available on the Longhorn Network on cam-pus or at nearby restaurants, but prominent cable service providers in the area — in-cluding Time Warner Cable

— have yet to pick up the pro-gramming since its launch in 2011. Longhorn Network of-ficials say they do not antici-pate expanding programming to large service providers in the near future.

Grande Communica-tions, which is carried in dorms and dining facilities on campus, was the first cable provider to make the Longhorn Network available to viewers. Hemlata Jhaveri, the Division of Housing and Food Services direc-tor of resident life, said the

Longhorn Network is avail-able to the 7,300 students living on campus.

At least one television is dedicated to the game in the dining halls on game days, Jhaveri said.

Austin-area bars and restaurants also provide the Longhorn Network to customers. At least nine local venues near cam-pus provide the Longhorn Network programming.

Trudy’s Texas Star

While everyone was away from Austin this summer, new restaurants and eater-ies opened left and right, offering students new cu-linary options to try. Some restaurants closed, such as the grungy but delicious Texadelphia on the Drag or the traditional South Con-gress burger joint Fran’s, but at least students can feast on these new eats be-tween cramming for their first tests.

1. The Co-op Food CourtThe closing of the SoCo

food trucks was a bum-mer, but don’t despair, a new romp of trucks can be found right behind the UT

Co-op. The Co-op Food Court opened just two weeks before classes started and offers four new trucks of assorted food. George H. Mitchell, president and CEO of the UT Co-op, said the Co-op Food Court will con-tinue to grow. He is hoping to have ten food trucks by the middle of September. In ad-dition to good food, Mitch-ell said the food court will offer entertainment as well. “Eventually we’re going to show football games by the food court, and we’re going to show movies, once it gets a little darker.” The best way to start fall? Football and food trucks. Location: The parking lot behind the Co-op

2. Uncle Julio’s

This Mexican food restaurant is now all over the country. Uncle Julio’s describes their food as “au-thentic border style.” Serv-ing traditional favorites such as quesadillas and enchiladas while offering more refined dishes such as their honey chipotle salmon, Uncle Julio’s boasts a large menu with options to satisfy any appetite.Website: unclejulios.com/Location: 301 Brazos St., Suite 150, corner of 3rd & San Jacinto

Thousands of incoming UT students flooded South Mall to participate in Gone To Texas on the eve of the start of a new school year.

Gone To Texas, an event put on by the University since 1997, invites new stu-dents to participate in a wel-coming ceremony capped off by lighting the Tower orange. Many of the Univer-sity’s individual colleges put on their own events before the larger ceremony in front of the Tower.

Rod Caspers, director of University Events, said the expected turnout was be-tween 7,000 to 8,000 partici-pants. To accommodate the large crowd, UT spent about $200,000 in organizing and executing the event this year.

UT: Latest ‘bleach bomb’ more likely to be water

A week after government senior Bryan Davis was re-portedly bleach-bombed in West Campus, public officials report that, while the search for the culprits is narrowing, the balloon might not have been filled with bleach.

In his most recent state-ment, Gregory J. Vincent, vice president for the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, said early indi-cations are that the balloon dropped last week was filled with water. Vincent added that the University has col-lected clothing and balloon remnants from the site and sent them to a lab for further forensic testing.

Last Wednesday’s bleach bombing comes almost a year after similar attacks on mi-nority students were reported in the same area by the Uni-versity Towers, a private dor-mitory on 24th Street. The at-tacks caused an uproar among students and led to protests and marches against racially charged violence. Similarly, members of the Black Stu-dent Alliance will host a rally in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. Statue on Wednesday afternoon to speak out against racial violence.

According to Vincent, Uni-versity investigations of the previous attacks showed no evidence that bleach was used, and the students responsible for that incident were held ac-countable under the Univer-sity’s disciplinary system. Vin-cent said throwing balloons filled with any substance is considered an assault, which is

a criminal offense, and is pun-ishable under chapter 11 of the University’s Institutional Rules and Regulations.

“Any person who believes such actions are merely schoolyard pranks is mistak-en,” Vincent said.

Ronnie Davis, commu-nity manager for University Towers, said the apartment complex carried out its inves-tigation in conjunction with police and University offi-cials. Ronnie Davis said they were still trying to determine if the victim was targeted, and he is not sure if the incident was racially motivated.

“We are fully cooperating with the University and the Austin Police Department,” Ronnie said. “This kind of behavior is not something we condone.”

Ronnie said an official re-port was given to the Dean of Students detailing the names of the suspects, who will face eviction from Towers. He said that based on security foot-age and information from the victim, the suspects have been

narrowed down to individuals from two specific rooms. Ron-nie said the complex’s man-agement is offering a reward to residents of Towers for any additional information.

Ronnie, who has only worked at the complex for a week, said he is unfamiliar with the party culture associ-ated with West Campus but said he is aware of a long his-tory of individuals living at the Towers throwing liquid-filled balloons at pedestrians — mostly girls. In light of the attack, he said residents will receive a letter explaining the “proper way to live at Towers.”

“We don’t want people get-ting the wrong impression,” Davis said. “This kind of be-havior is not representative of the entire complex.”

Cpl. David Boyd, a public information officer for APD, said the department is still waiting for the victim’s offi-cial statement but added that a detective has been assigned to the investigation.

“It’s difficult to say whether this investigation will yield anything,” Boyd said. “Once the statement is made, then the investigation can proceed.”

Vincent said the University is “anxious” to receive the re-sults of the investigation.

“The University of Texas at Austin has long been com-mitted to promoting diversity and ensuring respect and in-clusion throughout the cam-pus community,” Vincent said. “Our University should be a haven and home to stu-dents of all backgrounds.”

Student Government Presi-dent Horacio Villarreal called last week’s alleged bleach bombing an “unfortunate” oc-currence. Villarreal said mak-ing the campus “inclusive” for students of all backgrounds will continue to be a priority and occurrences such as these are “antithesis to the unity that normally defines this campus.”

“I cannot speak to whether or not the individuals who are throwing the bleach bombs are acting out of racism,” Villarre-al said in an email. “I can speak to the fact that our campus has become increasingly inclusive since I first stepped onto the 40 Acres … It is encouraging to see the campus efforts made by students across campus to bring light and attention to the incidents.”

In a visit to Austin on Monday, House Demo-cratic Leader Nancy Pe-losi discussed her economic agenda for women, empha-sizing equal pay, paid medi-cal leave and affordable child care.

Pelosi said she visited Austin Community Col-lege’s Eastview Campus because community col-leges present opportunities for women by appreciating the balance between work, school and home.

“I want to tell you about our true victory gardens,” Pelosi said. “Those are

these young people or people re-entering the edu-cational arena. Some of them have families; some of them are working … It’s all different kinds of things that come to bear at a community college.”

Pelosi said she supports strong public institutions because education is essen-tial to reducing the deficit and raising the gross do-mestic product produced by women in the United States. Although President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963 almost 50 years ago, pay discrimina-tion is still a pressing issue for American women, Pelosi said.

Dianne Morphew, of the American Association of University Women’s Abilene branch, said she experienced pay discrimi-nation twice, once in 1989 and once in 2002. At one point, a man whom she had trained for the job was going to replace her and earn 150 percent more than she had earned, Morphew said.

“We know that pay dis-crimination is wrong, and it hurts America’s women, families and economy as a whole,” Morphew said.

The association spon-sored the discussion and scheduled it on Women’s

Equality Day. Women’s Equality Day recognizes the ratification of the 19th amendment which occurred 93 years ago, said Jeannie Best, the Texas branch pres-ident for the association.

The most costly part of Pelosi’s plan is subsidies for child care, she said.

Pelosi, who has five chil-dren, said seeing a lack of paid sick-leave prevent-ing women from taking time off work to care for their sick children is part of what motivated her to work in politics.

“The missing link in all of that has been affordable

child care,” Pelosi said.Pelosi said she also wants

to reduce the role of money in politics and increase the role of civility.

“Money suffocates the air out of the system, and if you use money to confuse the debate … people walk away,” Pelosi said.

She said one of her pri-orities — raising the mini-mum wage to a living wage — will mostly affect the private sector.

“We just do not want women to be well-paid em-ployees,” Pelosi said. “We want women to be entrepre-neurial, to be employers.”

Pelosi visits Austin, emphasizes equalityBy Amanda Voeller

Pitonyak murder trial to be reviewed for appeal

The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will decide if former Longhorn Colton Pitonyak deserves a retrial for the brutal murder of Jen-nifer Cave in 2005.

Pitonyak is currently serv-ing a 55-year prison sentence for the 2005 murder and mutilation of then-21-year-old Cave, who was found shot and dismembered at Pi-tonyak’s West Campus apart-ment. Former UT student Laura Ashley Hall, described as Pitonyak’s jealous lover in court documents, is current-ly serving a 10-year sentence for tampering with evidence. Both fled to Mexico follow-ing the murder and were apprehended during their attempt to cross the border back into the U.S.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to review Pi-tonyak’s case based on claims that the state withheld evidence containing Hall’s confessions during the initial trial in 2007 — a federal constitutional vio-lation of Brady v. Maryland.

However, the evidence might not hold up in court. Andrew Oldham, deputy so-licitor for the state, argued that prosecutors are not required to turn over notes made by a medical professional, and that the notes in question would be protected by federal medical privacy laws.

Chris Perri, one member of Pitonyak’s legal counsel, said Brady violations usually trump privacy laws in a court of law and cited a lack of con-sensus regarding a prisoner’s privacy rights.

“Confessing to a murder does not even constitute med-ical information,” Perri said. “This is criminal evidence.”

If the Brady precedent sticks, the prosecution will have the option to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the prosecutors fail to successfully appeal the case to the Supreme Court, Pitonyak will be granted a new trial at the 147th State District Court in Austin.

4A OPINION

FROM THE ARCHIVES

COLUMN

‘Tis the season for new classes, new professors and new academic adventures. A major part of the first-day-of-class rit-ual is the course syllabus, and providing a course syllabus is one of the few aspects of college instruction that is mandated by Texas state law.

Professors take great pride in preparing their syllabi. Instructions from department heads, deans and the UT Center for Teach-ing and Learning encourage professors to provide lots of details about the course schedule, the structure of assignments and the basis for grading in the class.

Students are eager to have these details in the syllabus so they can know clearly what they have to do to get a good grade. But is that the best approach?

Students who are fortunate enough to at-tend UT have gotten here because they have learned to follow the instructions provided by their teachers. Course requirements are very well spelled out in high school and the best students are the ones who are most ex-pert in following those instructions. Should higher education follow the same strategy?

There is no question that detailed speci-fication of course requirements helps stu-dents earn better grades. But will this pro-vide the kinds of skills students need once they graduate?

Why do students go to college? Because they (or their parents) want them to get a good job and assume leadership roles in society once they graduate. What skills are required for the best paying and most im-portant jobs in society?

Expertise in following instructions is not one of those skills. Menial minimum-wage jobs require following a lot of instructions.

Before someone is allowed to make French fries at McDonald’s, they receive

detailed instructions on how long to leave the fries in the oil, what temperature the oil has to be, where to put the fries when they come out of fryer, etc. They are also told precisely when to report to work, how long they have to stay and when they are allowed to take a break.

College graduates do not aspire to cook French fries for minimum wage. They as-pire to become the president of a company or to invent the next fast food that consum-ers will find hard to resist.

Unfortunately, there are no instruc-tions for doing those jobs. High-level po-sitions and leadership roles in business, industry, health care or the arts do not come with instructions. Steve Jobs had no instructions to follow in building Ap-ple into one of the most successful com-panies in the world. Mack Brown was not told how to improve UT’s winning per-centage when he started preparations for the 2013 football season.

Important high-paying jobs cannot be performed by following instructions. Suc-cess in such positions requires learning to navigate in an ambiguous environment. The president of a company or the head coach of a football team has to identify what the problems are, set goals and figure out how to meet those goals.

He or she does not have to do these things alone. But even deciding how to get help with these tasks is unspecified. The higher one goes in an organization, the fewer are the instructions for the work that one has to do.

Students demand detailed instructions in their classes because they have learned that academic success comes from follow-ing those instructions. The most frequently asked question I have encountered in my classes is “Will this be on the test?”

A desire for such clarity is understand-able, but it is counterproductive in the long run. It fails to prepare students for what is really important in life, which is how to suc-ceed in an ambiguous environment where there are no instructions.

The student veteran and eligible depen-dent population at the University of Texas at Austin is one of many important groups on campus that the University serves.

We recognize this group has faced many challenges prior to enrolling at UT, and that navigating access to state and federal educa-tion benefits should not be one of them.

Since the inception of the Post-9/11 GI Bill and changes to the Hazlewood Act, a law that provides tuition exemptions to eligible veterans and their dependents, were made in 2009, there has been a significant increase in the number of eligible students seeking to use their benefits.

UT-Austin has seen the effect of this in-crease; since 2009 the University has expe-rienced an increase of more than 275 per-cent in Hazlewood exemption requests and a 22.5 percent increase in students request-ing benefits provided by the GI Bill.

According to the National Center for Veteran Analysis and Statistics, the Central Texas area has the fastest-growing popu-lation of veterans in the nation. In spring 2013 alone, the University had 1,494 indi-viduals requesting benefits.

The increased number of eligible students has extended the time it takes for students to gain access to these benefits nationwide, as well as here on our campus. Recognizing this, we have launched efforts to improve the experience for our student veterans and dependents by bringing together all offices assisting this population on campus — the Office of the Registrar, the Office of Admis-sions, the Office of Accounting and Student Veteran Services — to review how other institutions are serving their student veter-ans and to implement a unified approach to address the realities facing such students on our campus.

Additionally, we engaged students by

collaborating with the Student Veteran As-sociation, the official student veteran group on campus.

Over the past year, through this collabo-ration with students and various offices on campus, the University has worked hard to expedite students’ access to the GI Bill and the Hazlewood exemption.

The Office of the Registrar sought input from Student Veteran Services and the Stu-dent Veteran Association and developed strategies to improve the experience of stu-dent veterans and eligible dependents seek-ing to use their benefits. As a result of these collaborations, we enhanced the benefit ses-sions during orientations to assist students as soon as they arrive on campus. The Office of the Registrar also made a number of im-provements to its internal processes and de-veloped informational websites to better ex-plain the benefits and how to access them.

The university created a tuition coverage program that allowed for 79 percent of the students using federal education benefits used to secure their enrollment before they had paid their tuition. In doing so, the pro-gram kept qualified students from having to take action on their tuition costs before they had received their federal funding. The Office of the Registrar and Student Veteran Services have additionally worked together to ensure comprehensive office hours at lo-cations across campus to provide easy ac-cess to expert guidance regarding benefits.

The cooperation among various offices on campus and the Student Veteran As-sociation has resulted in a student veteran experience far different from this time last year. We will continue to work together as a University to serve students in the most ef-ficient way possible, evaluate our processes and seek strategic and innovative solutions to the challenges we may face.

No syllabi in real world

Editor’s note: This column by former Uni-versity President Harry Ransom offers advice to freshmen as they embark upon their college careers. Though originally published in the August 9, 1957, issue of The Daily Texan, we believe the advice offered still rings true today.

Presumably the pursuit of ideas is one of the major undertakings of a university fresh-man. It is a highly personal undertaking, as unpredictable in its opportunities as it is in its rewards. A canny freshman will begin by finding out what his university provides him in regular course and what he will have to get on his own. The measure of his educability the first years will be the amount of sense he makes out of the university’s provision and the amount of intellectual responsibility he is willing to shoulder independently.

No other period in life provides so much time for the free pursuit of ideas as the hours and days and weeks and years of under-graduate study. In no other context of life is so much machinery manned to assist the individual or so many experts engaged on his behalf. Nor will ideas presented to him ever again be quite so new, so accessible, so varied — not even if he goes into one of the

“creative” occupations or learned professions.Against these advantages certain disad-

vantages of the university should be count-ed. By sheer abundance of fare the college experience can sicken. Overstuffed geese are starvelings compared with undergradu-ates who must take five or six disciplines at a clip, week in and week out. Heaven help those who diet uncritically. A snippet of Plato, a dash of quantum mechanics, a son-net from one class, a battle from another, a political theory (for which the sonnet-writer went to jail), a philosophy lecture (reverting to Plato or the bit of physics) — all this may produce a straight-A average but no abiding sense.

Very early in his first year, an alert student finds means to relate and judge those ideas which his university experience brings him. To each of its free citizens, however differ-ently constituted and however variously mo-tivated, the university presents certain oppor-tunities in common.

First in potential importance are the li-brary and the laboratory. To the freshman who is appalled by the number of its holdings (“One million books are too many for one

person to read”), the library still remains the likeliest source of ideas. Some students storm whole bookstacks as if they were a towered city. Others take reading assignments like carefully prescribed finger-exercises. In either case, to put books to use (from picture books to mathematical tables) is the surest way to turn the university into a field of ideas. To learn something about the method of labora-tories is to provide at least a partial assurance against mere gullibility about ideas — includ-ing, of course, those in books.

Nor should listening be neglected. Because some lecturers have turned the arts into an unendurable bore, some listeners damn all lecturing. Yet lecturers in classes (and “visit-ing lecturers” at the university) are often the source of the critical student’s most usable ideas. Discriminating freshmen will keep their ears open — however often those ears may be dulled or disappointed by mere class-room routines or academic cock-crowing.

Good listening will also come, of course, outside large educational assemblies. It will come in the small class, in private conference, in highly impromptu (and sometimes impru-dent) tack upon big problems by a seminar,

in coffee conversation, in the idle hour. Every great university trusts its competent students to wide search, knowing that each student is educated, in part, by accident.

Thus the briefest glance will assure the freshman that in the matter of mere sup-ply the university will not fail him. Yet in the midst of loud noises made by old ideas like the dignity of man and newer ones like negative matter, we often avoid the condi-tions most fertile for the growth of ideas — aloneness and silence. A student may choose his courses, pore over his texts, listen to his teachers, exchange opinions with his con-temporaries, and fill in the sands of library cards to good effect but still miss the main chance for developing ideas significant to him. If he is to complete the pursuit of ideas, he will get off by himself, shut up, and think. Too much higher education today neglects that lowly exercise.

— Dr. Harry Huntt Ransom, (1908-1976)

Between 1935 and 1971, Ransom served as a UT professor, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the University president and the chancellor of the UT System.

HORNS UP: THE TRAIL OF LIGHTS RETURNS

The Trail of Lights is coming back. After a few years of unreliable illumination, the Austin tradition will now include better parking and multiple paths through the display to ease con-gestion. Although the trail suffered a hiccup last year when running gear store Runtex, its main sponsor, declared bankruptcy, we hope the light display will fare better under the leadership of a

private entity—the newly formed Trail of Lights Foundation—than it did under the city’s control.

Several prominent state politicians have joined the now-openly homophobic San An-tonio City Councilwoman Elisa Chan in op-position to a proposed anti-discrimination city ordinance as it approaches a Sept. 5 vote. They include Texas Attorney General and likely gu-bernatorial frontrunner Greg Abbot, as well as

the three men seeking to replace him as AG: State Rep. Dan Branch, Sen. Ken Paxton and Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman. Austin, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth all have similar anti-discrimination laws on the books that protect the LGBTQ community from discrimination, but railing against existing laws does not present as attractive an opportunity for a candidate to boost his or her bona fides with those who oppose giving LGBTQ Texans equal rights.

Traditionally, the UT presi-dent leads the event, but Presi-dent William Powers Jr. was not available this year. Instead, Greg Fenves, incoming pro-vost and former dean of the Cockrell School of Engineer-ing, presided over the event.

This year’s audience watched a dance perfor-mance, the famous Long-horn Band and multiple videos about the University’s history and reputation.

In his remarks, Fenves em-phasized the Freshman Re-search Initiative, a program intended to help freshmen in-volved in academic research.

Addie Block, a Middle Eastern studies freshman, said Gone to Texas reaffirmed her choice to attend UT.

“I feel like I have a home here,” Block said.

“I’m now very excited for classes to start and to get in-volved on campus,” Hinton said.

restaurant manager John Henson said all Trudy’s loca-tions switched cable service providers to Grande Com-munications to air Long-horn Network programming to customers, specifically ex-clusive game coverage.

“Obviously a lot of people don’t have it around here,” Henson said. “All of our locations get people com-ing to see the Longhorn Network games.”

Henson said Longhorn games are in high demand and help out business with gameday crowds who don’t have access to the network at home and are looking for a place to watch the game.

“We encourage people to come, stay and watch the game,” Henson said. “It’s on all the televisions we have. We have the audio on, and on home game day we have a barbecue smoker outside.”

UT and ESPN formed the Longhorn Network in 2011, agreeing to a 20-year commitment in which ESPN would own and op-erate the network’s 24-hour Longhorn coverage.

The network will air a few home football games exclu-sively, including UT games against New Mexico State, Mississippi and Kansas, with analysis by former Long-horn running back Ricky

Williams and former Uni-versity of Georgia quarter-back David Greene.

The network’s coverage includes 175 events, broad-casting 20 sports along with studio shows, historical pro-gramming and original se-ries. UT football head coach Mack Brown has said he spends six hours per week on the three shows on which he appears.

Last year, Grande Com-munications President Mat-thew Murphy said the cable provider covers almost 25 percent of the city and pro-vides service to the UT area. Since reaching a deal with UT Athletics in July, Grande is also the service provider for the Darrell K Royal-Tex-as Memorial Stadium.

“Now we not only deliver value to students but enable Texas Athletics to finally have access to LHN and all other channels within their facilities,” Murphy said.

Last September, AT&T U-verse picked up the network following months of nego-tiation between other cable providers and ESPN. Other service providers offer the network as part of its pro-gramming in the Houston area, Kansas City and Illi-nois among other areas.

Justin Connolly, Long-horn Network program-ming vice president, recently said Time Warner Cable and Comcast will not be carrying the network’s programming in the near future. Time

Warner Cable and Comcast are major service providers in the Austin and Houston areas, respectively.

Mary Knight, associate vice president of UT’s Bud-get Office, said the network brings in $10 million ev-ery year for the University, half of which is allocated to academics and has led to the creation of half a dozen endowed chair positions for faculty. The other half is al-located to UT Athletics.

Longhorn Network spokeswoman Kristy Oz-mun said the network has expanded its programming

beyond sports coverage and intends to broadcast events and speakers on campus. Ozmun said students liv-ing on campus or in West Campus should have little trouble getting access to the network’s sports coverage.

West Campus apartment complexes are also work-ing to cater to students who want to access Longhorn Network programming in their homes. Some large apartment complexes, like 2400 Nueces, pay extra to ca-ble providers that don’t carry the Longhorn Network to make the network available

to students, according to Melanie Carlson, apartment leasing and marketing man-ager for 2400 Nueces.

Carlson said the 304-room apartment complex, which opened in July, offers the network free for tenants. Carlson said the apartment complex doesn’t rely on the

Longhorn Network to fill its rooms, but it is a draw for students.

“We wanted to provide it for our residents because it’s a major incentive for stu-dents,” Carlson said. “And a lot of places do not offer Longhorn Network, espe-cially in West Campus.”

Tryout period runs through SEPTEMBER 12

With classes beginning Wednesday, the UT cam-pus will continue to mourn the death of former Uni-versity President William Livingston.

Livingston died Aug. 15 at the age of 93. He began his career at UT as a govern-ment professor in 1949 and worked in various teaching and administrative roles in the following 60 years. His positions included chair of the government department, vice chancellor of academic programs and vice president and dean of graduate studies. He held the position of act-ing president of the Universi-ty in 1992. More anecdotally, he is known as the voice of TEX — the 1990s telephone registration system.

Livingston’s memorial service will be held Sept. 4. Steve Livingston, Bill’s son, said the University offered the use of the LBJ Audito-rium for which the fam-ily was grateful. President William Powers Jr. is one of the scheduled speakers

at the service. “Bill Livingston embod-

ied all the best qualities of a university leader: erudition, eloquence, sweeping vision, warmth and good humor,” Powers said in a statement. “The University of Texas is a better place for his lifetime of service. He was an inspiration to generations of Longhorns, and we all will miss him.”

Livingston served in World War II in the U.S. Artillery and was injured in the Battle of the Bulge in December of 1944. He earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service, according to Steve.

Government professor Gary Freeman said he had known Livingston as a col-league and a friend since 1976 when Freeman first joined the department at UT. In his first interactions with Livingston, Freeman said

he noticed his colleague’s friendliness, frankness and plainspoken manner.

“He was always trying to get on the same wavelength as his students,” Freeman said. “He could be a little goofy, a little funny and even a little outrageous.”

Freeman said Livingston had a remarkable mastery of the English language and would often impress his students with his broad vo-cabulary. Encouraging his students to be better writers proved to be a central part of Livingston’s teaching phi-losophy, and he would give many writing assignments to his students. He enjoyed reading his students’ works and would write detailed and thoughtful notes on their essays.

“[Livingston] had beauti-ful handwriting,” Freeman said. “He would write these

exquisite comments on his students papers.”

In a 2009 article written to graduates of the government department, Freeman spoke of Livingston’s legacy.

“Livingston has been an exemplar of loyalty and an unwavering proponent of research and education,

while insisting that all in-volved in higher education strive for and attain excel-lence,” Freeman wrote. “He lived these principles, instill-ing them in this department and this University, and we like to think that you, gradu-ates of this department, are the better for it.”

The Austin school dis-trict has graduated its low-income students at a lower rate for the past two years than any other large urban district in Texas, according to a newspaper analysis.

The Austin American-Statesman reported that the city’s district places at the bottom of the so-called “Big 8” urban Texas school dis-tricts when it comes to grad-uating students who qualify for free or reduced lunch in spite of improvements in recent years.

Just less than 79 percent of the district’s 2,400 low-in-come students in the class of

2012 graduated. Austin also ranked second-to-last in the graduation rates of Hispanic students and in the middle for black students.

“It is totally unacceptable to me and to this city that our most vulnerable stu-dents would perform lower than the state average, much less at the bottom of the oth-er Big 8 districts,” said Aus-tin Trustee Gina Hinojosa.

But Superintendent Meria Carstarphen emphasizes the strides the district has made.

The district’s overall graduation rate peaked in 2012 at 82.5 percent and the rates have increased in all

categories in recent years. Credit-recovery and drop-out prevention pro-grams have contributed to the gains.

Lanier High School grad-uated nearly 80 percent of its students in 2012, up from 56 percent in 2008. Travis High School has improved to nearly 78 percent in 2012 from 55.5 percent in 2008.

“When you cut through all the numbers, one simple fact remains: More Austin Independent School District students are graduating, es-pecially our most vulnerable students,” Carstarphen said. “Our schools have achieved

dramatic gains over the last four years.

“For example, our eco-nomically disadvantaged students have achieved 17.7 percentage point gains,” Carstarphen said. “While we always have more work to do, it is wrong to simply fo-cus on the negative instead of the tremendous progress our students, teachers and administrators have made.”

UT education researcher Julian Vasquez Heilig said there are a number of reasons for Austin’s low ranking.

“You would expect because it’s a progressive city that we’d perform better than other

urban districts, but hidden beneath the veneer, there are deep patterns of segregation and inequality spread across pockets of the city,” Vasquez Heilig said.

The Austin school board had set a goal to graduate 90 percent of all students by 2015.

“We have a lot of work to do,” said Edmund Oropez, Austin’s associate superin-tendent for high schools. “Graduation rates are a work in progress. We’re not satisfied until we’re mov-ing toward that 100 percent graduation rate.”

Austin’s transportation system votes to change

Leaders of Austin’s region-al public transportation pro-vider have voted to tighten board policies amid concerns about how travel money was spent.

The Austin American-Statesman reports Capital Metro board members voted Monday to bar themselves from getting reimbursed for hotel stays within 50 miles of their homes. Board members also decided to prohibit the transferring of budgeted trav-el money among themselves.

Previous policy let board members use unspent funds from other members if they depleted their annual allowances.

Chairman Mike Martinez said Monday that the board must lead by example after asking the agency to tighten its belt.

Texas Legislature hears updates on driver safety

The Texas House Public Safety Committee will hear updates on law enforcement in the state, including the Driver’s Responsibility Sur-charge Program.

The Department of Public Safety will update lawmakers Monday on the program that assesses points on drivers for moving violations and charg-es extra fees for driving while intoxicated. The state started the program in 2003.

The committee will also hear from the Department of Insurance, the State Fire Marshall and other agencies within its purview.

The Legislature is no lon-ger in session so no new laws will be discussed. Commit-tees hold public meetings to oversee the government agencies for which they are responsible in order to de-termine what new laws may be needed when lawmakers return to Austin in 2015.

UT mourns loss of former President LivingstonBy Sarah White@SarahLizabethW

Although UT’s Dell Medi-cal School is years from being up and running, its policies and procedures with potential partners are already under scrutiny.

Because of Seton Health-care Family’s religious affili-ation, its partners, including the Dell Medical School, are expected to abide by the Ethical and Religious Direc-tives for Catholic Health Care Services. These directives impact medical procedures that relate to family planning, women’s health and end-of-life care. Central Health, a Seton partner, is also subject to these religious directives. Critics of Seton have voiced concerns that in the future the Dell Medical School might operate under a similar agree-ment, but no concrete agree-ment has been made yet.

The medical school has a memorandum of under-standing with Seton indicat-ing that the Catholic hospi-tal will be the main training hospital. The official contract between the two has not been set, and Seton will not be the only partner the Dell Medi-cal School will use in Austin.

The advocacy group Americans United for the Separation of Church and State wrote to Seton in July, opposing Seton’s influence on government agencies such as Central Health. The nonprofit organization re-sponds to citizen complaints regarding violations of sepa-ration of church and state.

Ian Smith, attorney for Americans United, said that Central Health’s agreement requires a government entity and its employees to follow Catholic religious law, which the government cannot legally do.

“It is easier to conceptu-alize if say Seton was not a Catholic organization but was a Muslim organiza-tion, and what the govern-ment was agreeing to do was follow Sharia Law and its administration as a

hospital,” Smith said. “Peo-ple seem to find more issue with that [than] when it is Catholic dogma.”

Smith said although there is no agreement between the medical school and Seton to review, the organization is anticipating violations. It is likely Dell Medical School faculty would be required to have admitting privileges or be employees at Seton, which would place these govern-ment employees under Cath-olic ethical guidelines.

“Seton is not going to al-low the University of Texas to come in there without agree-ing to abide by the religious directives,” Smith said.

Seton spokeswoman Adri-enne Lallo said because med-ical students only observe, they wouldn’t be performing any act that would hold them to the Catholic guidelines. Similarly, medical residents, can provide prescriptions but do not perform procedures.

Smith said this would not eliminate the violation of church and state caused by Seton. For Seton’s agree-ment to be lawful, govern-ment entities working with Seton could agree to secular services without an agree-ment to religious practices, Smith said.

Dell Medical School spokesman Robert Cullick said UT System medical resi-dents from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center are already using Se-ton facilities for training.

The policies that would be in place at the new medical school, however, would be the same as those in place in the other UT System medical branches. The policies are re-stricted to Seton facilities.

Cullick said because the policies are limited to Se-ton facilities, UT medical students will still complete training in areas of health care Catholic ethics do not allow, including abor-tion, family planning and end-of-life care, at other partnered facilities.

FORT HOOD — The Army psychiatrist who fa-tally shot 13 people at Fort Hood decided not to pres-ent any evidence during his trial’s penalty phase on Tuesday even though jurors are deciding whether to sen-tence him to death.

Maj. Nidal Hasan rested his case without calling witnesses or testifying to counter the emotional testimony from victims’ relatives, who talked of eerily quiet homes, lost futures, alcoholism and the unmatched fear of hearing a knock on their front door.

Prosecutors hope the testimony helps convince jurors to hand down a rare military death sentence against Hasan, who was con-victed last week for the 2009 attack that also wounded more than 30 people at the Texas military base.

The judge dismissed ju-rors after Hasan declined to put up a defense. She then asked Hasan more than two dozen questions in rapid fire, affirming that he knew what he was doing. His an-swers were succinct and just as rapid.

decision,” he said. “It is free and voluntary.”

The judge, Col. Tara Os-born, then read aloud sev-eral court opinions to back up her decision not to in-troduce evidence in Hasan’s favor on her own.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday, but whether jurors will hear from Hasan remains unclear. He has been acting as his own attorney but has put up nearly no defense since his trial began three weeks ago.

The trial’s penalty phase, however, is Hasan’s last chance to tell jurors what he’s spent the last four years telling the military, judges and journalists: that he be-lieves the killing of unarmed American soldiers prepar-ing to deploy to Iraq and Af-ghanistan was necessary to protect Muslim insurgents. He was barred ahead of trial from making such a defense.

Hasan rested his case shortly after more than a dozen widows, mothers, fathers, children and other relatives of those killed, along with soldiers wound-ed during the shooting ram-page, testified about their

lives since Nov. 5, 2009.Joleen Cahill told jurors

that she misses hearing her husband’s footsteps in their Texas home, which she said now feels empty.

The 62-year-old physi-cian’s assistant was the only civilian killed in the attack.

“One of the hardest things was being alone for first time in 60 years of my life. No one to come home to at night. No conversation,” she said.

Philip Warman said the slaying of his wife, Lt. Col. Juanita Warman, “was like [he] had something ripped out of [him].”

“I pretty much drank until the following June,” he said.

He said he checked into a substance abuse center for 28 days, and he had friends remove his weapons from his home because he didn’t trust himself.

Prosecutors want Hasan to join five other U.S. ser-vice members currently on military death row. That would require a unanimous decision by the jury of 13 military officers, and pros-ecutors must prove an ag-gravating factor and present evidence to show the sever-ity of Hasan’s crimes.

Hasan has done little to counter the prosecutors’ case.

He questioned only three of the prosecutors’ nearly 90 witnesses, and although he gave a brief opening state-ment — during which he acknowledged that the evi-dence would show he was the shooter — he gave no closing argument before he was convicted.

The military attorneys ordered to advise him dur-ing the trial have repeat-edly asked to take over his case. They made a similar request Tuesday, saying Hasan hadn’t presented evi-dence that could persuade jurors to sentence him to life in prison.

The lawyers asked to pres-ent that evidence as a third party, but the judge denied their request. Osborn said Hasan’s choice to represent himself — while ill-advised — was a right guaranteed by the Constitution.

No American soldier has been executed since 1961. Many military death row inmates have had their sentences overturned on appeal, which are auto-matic when jurors vote for the death penalty. The president also must even-tually approve a military death sentence.

FOOTBALL

Adrian Phillips came to Texas four years ago with one goal in mind: to win a national championship.

Now the 5-foot-11-inch safety is a member of the only Texas recruiting class in a decade not to have ap-peared in a BCS game.

“There’s a sense of urgency among this senior class,” defensive coordina-tor Manny Diaz said. “They were recruited during the 2009 title game period. That was part of their reason for coming here.”

Phillips has matured tremendously since 2010. Phillips did not start a game his freshman season,

recording sev-en tackles mostly in special team’s situations. In his sophomore season, he more than quadrupled his tackles while appearing in all 12 games.

Last year, things soured for Phillips and the team as Texas featured the worst defense in the school’s his-tory finishing 74th in the nation in points allowed per game and surrender-ing 29.2 points per contest. Phillips ended the season third on the team in tackles (72) behind Kenny Vaccaro and Quandre Diggs, but missed a number of promi-nent, open field tackles and even lost his starting job for a while midway through the season.

“The defense [has] a higher standard,” Phillips said. “When you turn on the tape from last year, you aren’t happy about what you saw. You just really looked at yourself and really made it up in your mind that you don’t want to be that type of player again.”

Now that Vaccaro, the leader in the secondary, is in the NFL, it is Phillips’ responsibility to carry the load as safety next to junior

Mykkele Thompson. There is depth behind the pair, but the senior must pave the way.

“The secondary can be really good,” Phillips said. “[Coach] wants us to get back to the level [of] Michael Huff, Mike Griffin, the stan-dard they walked around with. The fact [that] we have the ability to play eight peo-ple, it makes the defense that much better.”

Phillips believes the

defense is ready to make a statement but acknowl-edges that there is no room for complacency.

“It’s really week-to-week,” Phillips said. “Say we do well against New Mexico State, we want to raise the bar the next week and the next week. It’s never re-ally a set game that the defense will know we arrived or not.”

Phillips and the defense are eager to see a differ-

ent color other than burnt orange on the other side of the scrimmage line Saturday.

“There’s new blood on the field,” Phillips said. “You’ve been playing against the same people for three, four months, if you count the spring. Game week is ex-citing. Everyone has that feeling that we’re about to take off and now it’s time to show the world this Saturday.”

Senior safety Phillps leads by exampleFOOTBALL

By Garrett Callahan@callahangarrett

Though most of the hype surrounding the Long-horns’ offense is focused on junior quarterback

David Ash, the most prom-ising aspect of the 2013 team is likely to be its tri-fecta of running backs.

Juniors Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron and sophomore Johnathan

Gray come together to cre-ate a stable team of run-ning backs poised to propel Texas’ offense. Head coach Mack Brown emphasized the importance of a promi-nent running game and said

he plans to employ a con-sistent and effective back-field each week to remain balanced offensively.

“My goal, personally, for the offense, was to be able to line up the offense and run

it against anybody,” Brown said. “You’ve got to be good enough at running it too, when maybe your quarter-back is having a bad day, and he’s off or the weather is bad. You can run it every

week, and we didn’t do that last year. That’s got to be something that we have to be able to do this year.”

Gray earned the starting

nod for the season opener against New Mexico State. The sophomore running back led the team with 701 rushing yards on 149 carries as a freshman in 2012. He is the most explosive member of the Texas backfield and boasts an elusiveness and an ability to find holes in the opponent’s defense.

Bergeron, a 6-foot-1-inch, 230-pound bruiser, expects to receive the ma-jority of the Longhorns’ goal-line snaps. The junior

led Texas with 16 touch-downs last season, and has scored 21 times on the ground in his career.

The player with the most to prove and gain is Brown. The junior running back missed nine games be-cause of injury in his first two seasons, including six games in 2012, which lim-ited him to just 324 rush-ing yards on 61 carries and four touchdowns. Now, Brown hopes to remain healthy by taking steps to change his eating habits and to do more focused muscle training.

Despite Brown’s brush with injuries, co-offensive coordinator Major Apple-white is impressed by his focus and devotion to re-turn to the field.

“He’s still maintained his passion and hunger for the game of football,” Apple-white said. “It’d be easy with a sprained ankle and Johna-than taking over as a fresh-man to just come back and be not all into it. He’s still got a passion for football. He’s [worked] his tail off. He’s had some unfortunate breaks with injuries; it’s just part of football. He’s tough and he’s

going to fight through it, and he’s going to play.”

Brown is eager to get back in the lineup on Sat-urday. He believes in the potential of the Longhorn rushing unit and feels there will be enough car-ries to go around.

“It can be very good,” Brown said. “We do have some good backs in the running back room. I be-lieve just whoever is in the game is really not losing a step. Just continuing with effort and hard work, we can do a lot of great things in the backfield.“

Texas couldn’t have asked for much more from its first two home games of the season.

Coming off a 6-1 blowout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in its only preseason contest, the Longhorns kicked off the 2013 season in impressive fashion, earning a win and a draw in its first pair of regular-season games this weekend.

Texas opened its 2013 campaign Friday night with a 2-0 victory over Georgia at Mike A. Myers Track and Soccer Stadium.

The Longhorns got off to a quick start after a Georgia foul put Texas in a great position to score. Junior midfielder Sharis Lachappelle took the free kick from just left of the box, pro-pelling it toward the box. From there, sophomore Lindsey Meyer headed the ball toward junior defender Brooke Gil-bert, who finished the set piece with a tap in for the third goal of her career.

Meyer, who recorded an as-sist on the first goal, was just getting started.

The midfielder from Coppell added to the Longhorns’ lead early in the second half. Meyer headed the ball following a cor-ner kick from forward Kelsey Shimmick. The Bulldog’s goal-keeper blocked it right back to Meyer, who tapped in for an

easy score and a 2-0 Texas lead.Texas outshot Georgia

17-7 and sophomore goal-keeper Abby Smith posted her eighth career shutout for the Longhorns.

Sunday marked the sec-ond game of the weekend and ended in a 1-1 draw against the University of South Florida at Myers Stadium.

After a slow first half, Texas scored in spectacular fashion early in the second half. A USF foul in the 64th minute gave the Longhorns a free kick from 50 yards out. With the ball be-ing so far from the goal, Texas called on Smith, the goaltender, to take the kick. With every-one expecting her to simply move the ball up, Smith took a shot and scored her first career goal, giving the Longhorns a 1-0 lead.

Texas’ lead did not last long as USF’s Sarah Miller slipped one past Smith five minutes later, evening the score at 1-1.

The game would then go into double overtime before ending in a draw. The physical, defensive-minded match fea-tured 26 fouls.

The team will now head northwest to Oregon for its first road trip of the season. The Longhorns will take on Oregon State in Corvallis on Friday be-fore heading to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks on Sun-day. Both games are scheduled to start at 2 p.m.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo slammed his helmet on a cart and screamed at nobody in par-ticular during an embarrass-ing flurry of turnovers in a preseason game.

Dez Bryant sprinted 50 yards to the end zone after a catch with no one pursu-ing him during practice in training camp.

Jason Garrett chastised his rookies for not being ready for the speed of the NFL and benched running back DeMarco Murray after a fumble that wasn’t even a turnover because a teammate recovered it.

The Dallas Cowboys are talking urgency and account-ability. Three of the leading voices are a quarterback try-ing to prove he’s worth the richest contract in franchise history, a receiver emerging as one of the league’s best and a coach whose job might depend on getting out of an

8-8 rut and ending the team’s three-year playoff drought.

“There’s just a way to play winning football and there’s a way not to,” Romo said. “And we’re going to make sure we play winning football, that’s everybody included. When we’re not, it needs to be ex-tremely important and I think it is.”

Starting with Romo, here are five things to know about the Cowboys coming off con-secutive seasons that ended with losses to NFC East ri-vals with a playoff berth on the line.

Entering his seventh full season as the starter, Romo still battles the perception that he cares more about golf and other things than winning a Super Bowl. Not only did Jerry Jones give him a six-year, $108 mil-lion contract, the owner created the biggest talk-ing point of the offseason by saying Romo would be

more involved in everything about the offense. Jones called it “Peyton Manning-type time.” After missing all the offseason workouts to have a cyst removed from his back, he’s been steadily building toward the Sept. 8 opener against the New York Giants. He finished the preseason with a 123.3 passer rating and wasn’t responsible for any of the ghastly five first-half turn-overs in a preseason game against Arizona.

The Cowboys forced nine turnovers in the first four preseason games. They had 16 the entire regular sea-son last year. The talk has been turnovers since the day defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin replaced the fired Rob Ryan and brought a new scheme that empha-sizes takeaways. Defenders do drills where they chase bouncing balls around the field and have to pick them

up and run the other way. Whistle or not, defenders try to poke out the ball at the end

of plays, and if an offensive player drops it, they grab it and run. It’s not just getting

turnovers. It’s returning them for touchdowns.

Trend points toward Texas national title run

Texas fans with a deep be-lief in the powers of statistical trends could logically have three words in mind: nation-al championship game.

Since 2005, when the Longhorns won the national championship with Vince Young’s last-second touch-down against USC, Texas has appeared in one other championship game, four years later in 2009. Now it’s 2013, and Texas is primed for its best season since the Colt McCoy era. Is it that crazy to think the Longhorns will continue this four-year pat-tern and make it to the big game this year?

To get a better feel for this pattern, let’s compare Texas’ seasons from 2004 and 2008 with 2012, since those are the years prior to the Longhorns’ national

championship appearances. As expected, last year’s de-

fense, which was among the worst in school history in several categories, does not stack up to the stout units in 2004 and 2008. While those squads yielded 18 and 19.5 points per game, re-spectively, the 2012 team gave up a staggering 29. But this year, Texas will field its most experienced defense in four years featuring nine returning starters and will not face an elite quarterback in Big 12 play. If these fac-tors contribute to a decrease in points allowed per game, then it would align with the four-year pattern as both the 2005 and 2009 squads sur-rendered fewer points than their predecessors.

Things are more promis-ing when comparing those teams on the offensive side of the ball. The 2012 team put up nearly 36 points a

game. Considering quarter-back David Ash’s matura-tion and the team’s talented skill-position players, Texas could average more than 45 points a game this season — a feat only three FBS teams achieved in 2012.

The 2013 squad finds it-self in a similar position as the 2005 and 2009 teams in three additional areas. First, the Longhorns will play only three ranked opponents this year. Secondly, only one of those games will be played away from Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. And finally, Oklahoma is not ranked in the top 10, weak-ening a major roadblock in Texas’ schedule.

For the statistically mind-ed, these comparisons send a subtle but important mes-sage: a national champion-ship appearance is not mere-ly a whisper in Austin, but a real possibility.

Arcade Fire, Untitled, Oct. 29 The Canadian collective re-

vealed to an adoring fan via Twitter that its follow up to

The Suburbs would be re-leased Oct. 29. Now, an Ins-tagram account document-ing a series of street art depicting the word “Re-flektor” have fans think-

ing this could be the title of the album. If this is a campaign to up the hype before October, it is working. We can’t wait for Arcade Fire’s return.

Justin Timberlake, The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2, Sept. 30

Justin Timberlake took a sev-en-year hiatus from pop music, which was almost a crime. He’s making up for lost time, though, releasing The 20/20 Experience earlier this year and releasing

a full-length part two in only a month. Fans can look forward to more eight-minute pop songs with Timberlake’s smooth falsetto in the background.

HAIM, Days Are Gone, Sept. 30All of a sudden, we are all dy-

ing to hear an entire HAIM album. The trio of sisters from Los Angeles have garnered comparisons to Wil-son Phillips and Fleetwood Mac, with songs like “Don’t Save Me” and “The Wire” getting endless radio play. Fans are eager, but the ladies are taking their time to put together their first full-length al-bum. Luckily it debuts just in time for their Austin City Limits Music Festival spot.

Elvis Costello and The Roots, Wise Up Ghost, Sept. 17

It’s likely you and your dad are both excited for this album. Costello’s telltale croon backed by funky hip-hop band The Roots

should make for a flawless album. The single, “Walk Us Uptown,” is a good omen for what’s to come, with drummer Questlove’s groovy beats backing Costello’s genius melody and lyrics. Brag about knowing this album to the cute guy or girl in film history class who you want to ask out.

Beyonce, Untitled, No release date

There is no real promise that a new Beyonce album is coming this fall, but we are hoping, wish-ing and dreaming about its poten-tial release. Make no mistake, we could listen to 4 on repeat for the rest of our lives, but when Beyonce told fans in Norway the album would be out in November, our hearts stopped briefly in excite-ment. With the number of songs leaked and her current worldwide Mrs. Carter tour, it seems certain a full-length masterpiece is on its way, right?

“12 Years a Slave”Steve McQueen is one

of the most measured, compelling young direc-tors working today, and his strong sense of re-strained style should be interesting when applied to the true story of Solo-mon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free African-American man who’s ab-ducted and sold into slav-ery in the South. Frequent McQueen collaborator Michael Fassbender (who gave his best performance in “Shame,” McQueen’s last film) returns as Nor-thup’s brutal owner. The rest of the ensemble in-cludes Brad Pitt, Paul Gia-matti and Paul Dano, and the film should be one of the most shattering works of the year.Director: Steve McQueenGenre: DramaRelease Date: Oct. 18

“The Wolf of Wall Street” Martin Scorsese’s col-

laborations with Leon-ardo DiCaprio are consis-tently interesting efforts, and the timeliness, style and cast of this film are intriguing. While the film’s propulsive, Kanye-scored trailer showcases performances from Di-Caprio (starring as real-life Wall Street criminal Jordan Belfort), Jonah Hill and Matthew Mc-Conaughey, supporting turns from Kyle Chan-dler, Rob Reiner and Spike Jonze promise to be fascinating additions.Director: Martin ScorseseGenre: Crime DramaRelease Date: Nov. 15

“Inside Llewyn Davis” No filmmaker has

such a finely tuned sense of time and place as the Coen brothers, and this exploration of the New York music scene in the 1960s earned rave reviews at the Cannes Film Festival. The Coens’ last musically in-clined film, “O Broth-er, Where Art Thou?” was one of their most strange but endearing works, and

T-Bone Burnett has re-turned to do the music for “Inside Llewyn Davis,” along with cast member John Goodman. Good-man is joined by Oscar Issac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake, several performers whose sensi-bilities should pair nicely with the Coens’ sense of humor and melancholy.Director: The Coen brothersGenre: DramaRelease Date: Dec. 20

“Anchorman: The Legend Continues”

Ours is a generation that grew up loving “An-chorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” and the fact that we’re finally get-ting a sequel, nine years later, couldn’t be more exciting. Even if direc-tor Adam McKay can’t manage to capture light-ning in a bottle twice, it’s exciting to see the entire cast returning for what promises to be the movie everybody sees on Christmas with their folks. Judging from his last few films, Will Fer-rell has been saving all of his funny for this one, so let’s hope it lives up to the glorious heights of the first “Anchorman.”Director: Adam McKayGenre: ComedyRelease Date: Dec. 20

“How I Met Your Mother”To be a fan of “How I

Met Your Mother” means being perpetually fed up with waiting to hear how Ted eventually meets the mother. But series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are finally bring-ing things to a close in the ninth season. The entire season is rumored to span the length of one weekend, as Robin (Cobie Smulders) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) prepare to get mar-ried and Ted (Josh Radnor) meets the love of his life (series newcomer Cristin Milioti). While it’s unclear if the show can pay off years of dangling story threads and keep things interest-ing, the cast of “How I Met Your Mother” is one of the most reliably funny groups on TV.Channel: CBSPremieres: Sept. 23, 7 p.m.

The Series Finale of “Breaking Bad”

“Breaking Bad” is such an unpredictably, viscerally intense show that watching new episodes actually stress-es me out, especially as the show’s final season ramps up to what all clues indicate will be a suitably insane se-ries finale. Bryan Cranston is giving hands down, the best performance on TV, with Dean Norris and Aaron Paul not far behind him. Channel: AMCPremieres: Sept. 29, 8 p.m.

“Homeland”Conveniently overlapping

with the “Breaking Bad” fi-nale is one of the only shows that can match it in terms of audacity and intensity, Showtime’s “Homeland.” Last season gave us a lovely series of duets from Claire Danes as a CIA analyst and Da-mian Lewis as the war vet/congressman she suspects of being a terrorist, and shook up the status quo in some bold ways. Season three promises a toned-down scale and an increased amount of Mandy Patinkin’s Saul Be-renson, which can only be a good thing.Channel: ShowtimePremieres: Sept. 29, 8 p.m.

The summer of 2013 was a great time for pop mu-sic, especially if you’re into anthemic break-up tunes and ’70s-inspired musi-cal pleas to get it on. Here are the seven songs we couldn’t escape.

“Blurred Lines” – Robin Thicke ft. T.I. and Pharrell Williams

All right, let’s get this one out of the way. Who knew a funky sampled beat accompanied by a breast-laden video would take over the airwaves this sum-mer? “Blurred Lines” was, and still is, everywhere we turn. Whether or not it’s really about feminism and respect for women (hint: it’s probably not), this song exhibits the in-explicable power to make everyone move.

“Diane Young” – Vampire Weekend

On first listen, Vam-pire Weekend’s first single from Modern Vampires of the City is rather obnox-ious. But you hear it again. And again. And again. And eventually one morning, the highs and lows of Ezra Koenig’s modulated voice sweetly rouse you from a deep slumber, and you re-alize you can’t live without hearing “Diane Young” at least four times a day.

“We Can’t Stop” – Miley Cyrus

Say what you will about her bizarre MTV Video Music Awards perfor-mance, the music video for this song or Miley Cyrus in general, but “We Can’t Stop” is a seriously infectious slow-jam. Com-pared to the crop of recent hits about men looking to get sexy with the la-dies, Cyrus has awkwardly faux-twerked a refreshing message into hearts every-where: “You do you” and forget about the judgmen-tal Judys. Except for the drug references. We could have done without the drug references.

“Get Lucky” – Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers

The legendary French house music duo seemed destined to rule the sum-mertime airwaves long be-fore school was out. “Get Lucky” was one of the highest anticipated songs in recent music history, so it makes perfect sense that Daft Punk would hijack the charts like the weird robots they are. Combin-ing the disco grooves of Nile Rodgers and the sim-plistic lyrical message of “let’s do it” resulted in a massive hit. And is Phar-rell Williams killing it lately, or what?

“I Love It” – Icona Pop ft.

Charli XCXWant to know what I

love? This song. “I Love It” is the pulsating go-to theme song for any-one who just got dumped or who frankly doesn’t give a flying fig. Not car-ing about some loser has never felt better, or caused so many spontaneous dance parties.

“The Wire” – HAIMHAIM is the grown-up

lady equivalent to Han-son: three mega-talented siblings with uncanny melodic sensibility. “The Wire” is a sassy marriage of Fleetwood Mac-esque rocking and California chick toughness. The sis-ters HAIM layer their sun-ny harmonies over bright guitar licks that make this “you’ll get over me eventu-ally” kiss-off sound like a carefree ride with the top down. Taylor Swift, eat your heart out.

“Come & Get It” – Selena Gomez

“Come & Get It” has to be the guiltiest auditory pleasure on this list. Maybe it’s the seductive Bolly-wood influence. Perhaps it’s the fact that there are no lyrics easier to remem-ber than “Na na na na.” Whatever it is, admit that as soon as that over-pro-duced beat drops, we’re all ready to come and get. Na na na na.

place a bold eatery has taken over. As playful and vibrant as the name suggests, Umami Mia Pizzeria has bright-ened the building with its colorful walls and bold fla-vors, offering pizza as well as sandwiches, pastas, a large drink menu and an entirely separate gluten-free menu. In addition, pizza can also be ordered by the slice for less than $5. Cheap and delicious. Website: umamimiapizzeria.comLocation: 1500 Barton Springs Road

4. P.O.D. Express If you enjoy the P.O.D.

Express, be sure to thank the Student Government for making it happen. The P.O.D. Express, or “pro-visions on demand,” was pitched by former UT stu-dent government members Kenton Wilson and Ugeo Williams to give the student body an on-campus eatery that stayed opened late in the night. Nick Parras, assistant director with the University Unions, said the P.O.D. Ex-press is a standing kiosk that allows a quick option for stu-dents to buy healthy foods. Located in the Student Activ-ity Center, the P.O.D Express will be open on weekdays until midnight, serving fresh fruit, salads, sandwiches and everyday items. And thanks to this new addition, there will be new seating in the SAC, which, let’s face it, there could always be more of. Don’t miss the grand opening of P.O.D Express on the first day of classes, Wednesday at 2 p.m. Location: SAC, first floor, west wall, near the auditorium

5. Mettle Mettle’s cold yet posh

interior looks like a metal box upon entering. The polished atmosphere of the East Austin bistro and upscale restaurant plays off the surprisingly casual menu, which offers south-ern charms as well as “kid

at heart” favorites. Feel-ing daring? Order the beef tongue tacos or the duck liver mousse. For the more traditional, a grilled cheese, fried chicken or a French dip sandwich awaits.Website: mettleaustin.comLocation: 507 Calles St.

6. Eden East Sometimes the hustle and

bustle of living in a city can get overwhelming, so in-stead of eating fast food in the dorm again, Eden East is a reservation only, out-door eating concept you can treat yourself to. Boast-ing the slogan, “Austin farm to table,” Eden East’s menu changes weekly in order to keep courses fresh and lo-cal. Despite being higher on the price range, the fresh food, beautiful out-door eating and “cooked at home” feeling, make the

eating experience well worth the splurge. Website: edeneastaustin.comLocation: 755 Springdale Road

7. Benji’s Cantina If you’re planning a night

on Sixth Street, Benji’s Cantina is a new eatery on the bustling street that you can hit before or after the night’s activities. Available only for dinner, the two-story restaurant opens at 4 p.m. and closes at 11 p.m. on weeknights and mid-night on the weekend. The price range is a little higher, but if you want to go in for a quick bite to satisfy your hunger, the menu offers delicious appetizers such as the queso flamedo or the shrimp diablo — gulf shrimp stuffed with goat cheese and chilies wrapped

in pecan-smoked bacon — for under $20. Website: benjiscantina.comLocation: 716 W. Sixth St.

8. Quickie PickieQuickie Pickie may

sound familiar — it used to be a gas station — but it has been updated to a restaurant and grocery store over the summer. Sa-vannah Mcanally, barista and bartender, said they have a full kitchen, serv-ing breakfast tacos in the morning, sandwiches at lunch and salads at dinner. “Most of our food is made in house, from scratch, and we also have a wide craft and artisan beer selection,” Mcanally said. “On tap, we have 27 taps, 24 of which are beer, and we also have the grocery selections with frozen goods, every chip

you can possibly imagine, chocolate, everything.” With a simple menu, and cheap breakfast tacos, Quickie Pickie can be a good destination for com-fort food, whether eating in or taking out. Website: quickiepickieaustin.comLocation: 1208 E. 11th St.

9. Say laVNot everyone can afford

to travel abroad, but if the wanderlust for exotic food strikes, Say laV offers a short menu of French and Medi-terranean dishes, all in the small space of a food truck. The Say laV food truck is a temporary workspace for its restaurant, laV, which is being built in East Austin. Say LaV’s menu offers lo-cally sourced ingredients and changes with the sea-sons. Order sweet potato

donut holes, fried okra, old bay fries or, for a more substantial meal, the goat kebab pita with pickled zucchini & arugula. Website: saylavaustin.comLocation: 1501 E. Sixth St., inside Hotel Vegas and Volstead Lounge

MOSCOW — Three rare albino hedgehog ba-bies, born on the same day as Britain’s new prince, have moved into a min-iature castle at a Moscow petting zoo.

George, Alexander and Louis are named after the Prince of Cambridge, who has those three names.

On Thursday, when the hedgehogs turned one month old, they were shown into their new home at the All-Russia Exhibition Center.

It’s a wooden castle with carefully carved windows, dark velvet curtains and a plush bed. A red carpet was rolled out to welcome the hedgehog family into the new home.

Zoo spokeswoman Yev-geniya Polonskaya said she hopes the Prince of Cam-bridge himself would one day visit the hedgehogs and said they “have a cou-ple of invitations set aside for him.”

LA PAZ, Bolivia — The thieves, who tunneled under the thick walls of the colonial-era Roman Catholic church in the tiny southern Bolivian town of San Miguel de Tomave, made off with five 18th-century oil paintings of inestimable value.

It was the third time the highlands church had been plundered of sacred art since 2007. Most of the finely-etched silver that once graced its altar was already gone.

Increasingly bold thefts plague colonial churches in remote Andean towns in Bolivia and Peru, where authorities say cultural treasures are disappearing at an alarming rate. At least 10 churches have been hit so far this year in the two culturally rich but econom-ically poor countries.

“We think the thefts are being done on behalf of collectors,” said the Rev. Salvador Piniero, arch-bishop of Peru’s highlands Ayacucho province.

Bolivian churches have been robbed 38 times of 447 objects since 2009. In Peru, at least 30 thefts from churches and chapels have

been reported since Janu-ary 2012, including two this month.

Cultural officials in the Andes have long strug-gled to protect Incan and pre-Columbian cultural treasures. Now, colonial sacred art has become a similar worry.

Where possible, church-es are being fortified.

But poor, rural parishes are on their own, particu-larly along the highlands plateau where Spanish co-lonial missionaries built isolated settlements.

Most targets are like the Tomave church, unpro-tected by anything more than a lock and chain on the door when last burgled in December. Most are built above 13,100 feet and at least 60 miles from the nearest police station. As for burglar alarms, electric-ity is unreliable where it ex-ists at all.

Authorities have had little luck recovering co-lonial art. Officials at Bo-livia’s Culture Ministry were reluctant to share the details of stolen items, fearing it could boost their black-market value.

ATLANTA — Coca-Cola keeps the recipe for its 127-year-old soda in-side an imposing steel vault that’s bathed in red secu-rity lights. Several cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy formula stays a secret.

The ability to push a quaint narrative about a product’s origins and fuel a sense of nostalgia can help drive billions of dollars in sales. That’s invaluable at a time when food makers face greater competition from smaller players and cheaper supermarket store brands that appeal to cash-strapped Americans.

It’s why companies such as Coca-Cola and Twinkies’ owner Hostess play up the notion that their recipes are sacred, unchanging documents that need to be closely guarded. As it turns out, some recipes have changed over time, while others may not have. Either way, they all stick to the same script that their formulas have remained the same.

This summer, Twinkies made a comeback after be-ing off shelves for about nine

months following the bank-ruptcy of Hostess Brands. At the time, the new owners promised the spongy yellow cakes would taste just like people remember.

A representative for Host-ess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email that Twinkies to-day are “remarkably close to the original recipe,” noting that the first three ingredi-ents are still enriched flour, water and sugar.

Yet a box of Twinkies now lists more than 25 in-gredients and has a shelf-life of 45 days, almost three weeks longer than the 26 days from just a year ago. That suggests the ingredients have been tin-kered with, to say the least, since they were created in 1930.

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the nation’s No. 1 and 2 soda makers, respectively, also are known for touting the roots of their recipes.

In the book “Secret For-mula,” which was published in 1994 and drew from interviews with former executives and access to Coca-Cola’s corporate ar-chives, reporter Frederick Allen noted that multiple

changes were made to the formula over the years. For instance, Allen noted that the soda once contained trace amounts of cocaine as a result of the coca leaves in the ingredients.

In an emailed statement, Coca-Cola said its secret formula has remained the same since it was invented in 1886 and that cocaine has “never been an added ingre-dient” in its soda.

In the 1980s, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo both switched from sugar to high-fruc-tose corn syrup, a cheaper sweetener. The companies last year also said they’d change the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas to avoid hav-ing to put a cancer warn-ing label on their drinks in California, where a new law required such labels for foods containing a certain level of carcinogens.

Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo say the sweetener and caramel sources do not alter the basic formu-las or taste for their sodas. And they continue to hype up the enduring quality of their recipes.
