ALEX MACON Senior Staff Writer The North Central Texas Council of Governments presented the city of Denton with a CLIDE award last week, recognizing the city’s Downtown Implementation Plan for promoting sustain- able development in North Texas. The CLIDE, or Celebrating Leadership in Development Excellence, awards were created by the NCTCG’s Center of Development Excellence to acknowl- edge cities and organiza- tions in North Texas that are leading the way in sustain- able economic development. Sustainability and develop- ment experts from around the country made the deci- sion to give a CLIDE award to the city this year. At the award presenta- tion during last week’s City Council meeting, Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs said the award was a “matter of pride” for the city. Burroughs said Denton, as one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., was committed to following the Downtown Implementation Plan’s guidelines. “The outcomes should well benefit many generations of future Denton residents and will hopefully make the air cleaner, our city more walkable, our resources better utilized and make a better future for all of us,” Burroughs said. The 2010 Census identified Denton as one of the top-25 fastest growing cities in the country, a trend Denton officials said they expect to continue. Denton’s Downtown Implementation Plan, final- ized in August last year, is a “set of physical plans and detailed recommenda- tions to increase economic development in downtown Denton,” according to the city’s website. The city of Denton and Jacobs Consultancy firm put the plan together with input from Denton residents and business owners. The plan recommends greater connectivity between Quakertown Park and down- town and calls for aesthetic improvements such as removing fake building facades.

Michael Morton was released Oct. 4 after his lawyers brought forth new evidence in his favor that was not considered in the 1987 case. Morton is currently awaiting a consideration of the state Court of Criminal Appeals. “The leading factor leading to his conviction was that the prosecution didn’t hand over exculpatory evidence that, had his lawyers known, likely would have meant that he never would have been convicted in the first place,” said Paul Cates of the Innocence Project, the organiza- tion handling Morton’s case. The evidence included tran- script interviews from multiple sources, including an eyewit- ness account by Morton’s then-3-year-old son, who said he witnessed the murder, and a bloodstained bandana that contained DNA of both the victim and a third, yet-unnamed party. The Innocence Project, which oversaw the case for seven years, had to fight for access to the exculpatory evidence, or evidence in the defendant’s favor, and the DNA evidence, Cates said. “The district attorney was opposed to the [DNA] testing,” Cates said. “We had to bring a lawsuit we took all the way up to an appeals court that gave us access to the testing of the bandana that was recovered.” The prosecution had deemed the DNA evidence on the bandana irrelevant, but it ended up being crucial in proving Morton’s innocence, Cates said. “The district attorney said that it wouldn’t lead to anything,” he said. “We now know that it lead to another male that was implicated in another case.” The DNA matched that of a man linked with crimes featuring a similar modus operandi. Authorities are with- holding the suspect’s name because of the ongoing exam- ination. The number of older case reversals because of DNA evidence might have already reached its peak since its advent as legal evidence, said Bruce Budowle, director of the UNT Health Science Center’s Institute of Investigative Genetics. “It’s a steady trend, or more of a declining trend,” he said. “If you go back to these old cases that predate DNA, there was some evidence that might point it in another direction, but there are fewer cases that predate DNA.” DNA evidence has been widely trusted since its introduc- tion to the courts. The reason the district attorney would disre- gard the evidence is hard to determine, Budowle said. “Sometimes you look for things in context to confirm what you believe and so, if you find things that you believe and they are consis- tent, you automatically begin to dismiss the need for other things,” Budowle said.

Michael Morton spent nearly 25 years in prison for the murder of his wife, but today he’s free after new evidence proved his innocence.

Michael Morton was released Oct. 4 after his lawyers brought forth new evidence in his favor that was not considered in the 1987 case.

Morton is currently awaiting a consideration of the state Court of Criminal Appeals.

“The leading factor leading to his conviction was that the prosecution didn’t hand over exculpatory evidence that, had his lawyers known, likely would have meant that he never would have been convicted in the first place,” said Paul Cates of the Innocence Project, the organiza-tion handling Morton’s case.

The evidence included tran-script interviews from multiple sources, including an eyewit-ness account by Morton’s then-3-year-old son, who said he witnessed the murder, and a bloodstained bandana that contained DNA of both the victim and a third, yet-unnamed party.

The Innocence Project, which oversaw the case for seven years, had to fight for access to the exculpatory evidence, or evidence in the defendant’s favor, and the DNA evidence, Cates said.

“The district attorney was opposed to the [DNA] testing,” Cates said. “We had to bring a lawsuit we took all the way up to an appeals court that gave us access to the testing of the bandana that was recovered.”

The prosecut ion had deemed the DNA evidence on the bandana irrelevant, but it ended up being crucial in proving Morton’s innocence, Cates said.

“The district attorney said that it wouldn’t lead to anything,” he said. “We now know that it lead to another male that was implicated in another case.”

As the intended target of a thwarted assassination plot that reads like a Hollywood script, Adel Al-Jubeir, the Saudi ambas-sador to the U.S., has been thrust into the center of an international dispute that may have lasting diplomatic consequences.

But before he was evading inter-national terrorists, Al-Jubeir was walking the Denton campus as a political science and economics student at UNT.

Two men have been charged with conspiring to kill the 49-year-old diplomat in a plot code-named “Chevrolet,” which included using $1.5 million alleg-edly provided by the Iranian government to hire a member of a Mexican drug cartel to kill Al-Jubeir in a bomb attack at a Washington, D.C., restaurant.

The plan was uncovered when at least one of the men charged, Round Rock resident Manssor Arbabsiar, tried to hire a paid informant of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to carry

out the attack. “The idea

t h a t t h e y would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit mu rder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambas-

sador, nobody could make that up, right?” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Arbabsiar, a naturalized U.S.

citizen and Iranian passport holder, oversaw the plan along with two members of the Quds Force, Abdul Reza Shahlai and Gholan Shakuri, according to Justice Department officials. The Quds Force is described by the U.S. as Iran’s primary foreign support-organization for terror-ists and extremists around the world.

NICOLE BALDERASSenior Staff Writer

In an effort to set an example for hospitals and patients, Baylor Health Care System locations will no longer hire smokers.

The new rule, which will go into effect Jan. 1 of next year, will also impose a $25-a-month surcharge on current employees who choose to continue smoking.

“As a health care provider we’ve got to be role models for our patients,” said Becky Hall, vice president of health and wellness for Baylor Health Care System. “We know that tobacco leads to cancer. In 2007 no longer could you smoke outside the build-ings, so this is really just the next step.”

Besides the need to set a good example as health care providers, Baylor Health Care System said it doesn’t want to lose worker productivity to smoking breaks.

The rule is based on an honor system as hospitals will not perform nicotine tests on employees, and instead will leave it to employees to take it upon themselves to inform the hospital if they smoke.

“Trying to test all of our employees is hard in itself,” Hall said. “Trying to get employees away from patients to drug screen would be impossible. Only about 10 percent of current employees self-reported as being nicotine users. We can manage that.”

The $25 surcharge will end if an employee who smokes enrolls in a tobacco cessation program, which the hospital offers free of charge to employees and their spouses.

Though the Baylor Health Care System has gained media attention because of the change, Hall said it is not the first to implement a rule like this.

“I would say we’re leading, but by far not first,” she said. “The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio,and Texas Memoria l Herman stopped hiring smokers about a year and a half ago, as well as four or five others in Texas.”

However, in North Texas, Baylor is the first health system of its size to implement the hiring policy.

Under the Equal Opportunity Employment Act, potential hires cannot be discriminated against based upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, genetic information or age, according to eeoc.gov.

“It’s about taking care of yourself,” Hall said. “Health care workers are really good about taking care of their patients, but sometimes they forget about themselves.”

Denton Regional Medical Center currently has a smoke-free campus, but doesn’t plan

to enforce a rule disallowing employees from smoking.

“No one can smoke on the property, but hiring only non-nicotine users is not something that has come up,” said Cindy Williams of media relations for Denton Regional Medical Center. “Right now we’re happy with the policy we have.”

Health insurance can be anywhere from 20 to 30 percent more expensive for smokers than non-smokers, said Cory Walker of State Farm Insurance.

The policy is something that even some smokers agreed with.

“I think the policy wouldn’t be fair if it wasn’t making a difference in job productivity,” said Michael Lugo an interna-tional studies senior. “On the other hand, if it does affect work performance it seems perfectly OK for them to make the policy.”

Baylor Health Care System uses ‘honor system’ to penalize smokers

“The 48 e-resources the Texas State L ibra r y a nd Archives Commission provides for the Texas TexShare member libraries would have cost a total of over $95 million if all the libraries had each paid for these services individu-ally,” said Beverly Shirley, c on sor t ia ad m i n i st r ator for the Texas State Library

and Archives Commission.UNT currently pays about $26,000 a year for the present set of online databases.

A b o u t 7 0 0 l i b r a r i e s throughout Texas use the TexShare program, which the state and federal governments pay for with help from the yearly fees member libraries pay.

It also seeks to promote envi-ronmental sustainability by requiring that all new down-town buildings achieve LEED-certification.

When presenting the award to the city, NCTCG’s executive director Mike Eastland called the Downtown Implementation Plan an “impressive, important project” that would lessen the growing North Texas area’s impact on the environment.

“We need to make sure that we are doing everything possible to be sustainable,” Eastland said.

The plan also recom-mend s i n f r a s t r uc t u r e development that would encourage pedestrian and bike traffic downtown.

City Council members have said in the past that i mprovement s re c om-mended in the plan would likely be introduced bit-by-bit, as need for devel-opment arises and money is allocated.

Eastf ield, who gradu-ated from UNT, said he was impressed with Denton’s plans for future downtown development.

“It’s really great to see what you guys have done and kept this downtown alive,” Eastfield said.

The cost of the program could rise in the coming years to make up for the program’s budget cuts, Shirley said.

Mike Avilla, public infor-mation specialist for the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, said TexShare and universities will not know how much costs would increase until the next legislative session.

“We have to budget carefully,” Avilla said. “We won’t know [where we stand] until 2014. That is the watershed year.”

Corrisa JaCksonStaff Writer

R a c h a e l Y a m a g a t a released her third studio CD, “Chesapeake,” on Tuesday. The album is a pleasant mix of blues-inspired songs of heartache and loss, but it’s not without its weaker points. Despite that, Yamagata delivers a good album with her signature raspy voice and familiar, though still inter-esting, melodies.

The goodThe choice to use “Starlight”

as the lead single for the album was a good one. Yamagata’s voice, slightly above a whisper, is a great contrast to the driving guitar and bass at the start of the song. Then her voice picks up and it’s clear the song’s going somewhere. The chorus kicks in, and it is a little messy, but in a good way, like a cleaned-up garage band jam.

With “Miles on a Car,” Yamagata accomplishes what doesn’t happen on other songs such as “Stick Around” – she takes on the blues and makes it her own.

“Full On” has a dramatic, slow beginning that doesn’t lessen the pace of the album. It’s another song where we really feel Yamagata’s emotions, and again, we get the contrast between the bold, imposing music and her delicate voice.

The badThe album starts off with the

song “Even if I Don’t,” which is more upbeat and whimsical than the rest of the album. It’s not that it’s a bad song, but it doesn’t reflect what the rest of the album feels like. Perhaps it would work better at the end, as a light at the end of the tunnel after all the heartache the listener goes through during the course of the album.

Maybe it’s because it comes after the emotionally charged “You Won’t Let Me,” but the countr y-inf luenced “Stick Around” is a slow point on the album, like a weaker version of the previous song. The twangy guitar is less evocative of good country music and more of a distraction.

Your mileage may varyYamagata’s raspy voice might

come across as strained in the

Review

Yamagata’s blues bode better times for listeners

chorus of “You Won’t Let Me.” The lyrics are simple; she says, “You won’t let” over and over again, but her voice delivers the pain from the end of a rela-tionship that would be difficult to describe with more compli-cated lyrics.

The song “Way it Seems to Go” is a little bit faster and more jaunty than “Miles on a Car.” It’s fun, but can feel like it doesn’t really fit where it is on the album. If it’s released as a single, it’ll be used in network television’s latest teen drama.

“Dealbreaker” ends the album and brings back the

country twang, but not in full force like “Stick Around.” In the chorus, Yamagata sings some of the highest notes the listener hears from her. It’s a bittersweet ending. Yes, she’s moving on, but she’s still hurt, as she claims in the chorus “All this means nothing without you.”

Minus a few slow spots, “Chesapeake” is the album to play when you feeling like going for a drive to who-knows-where, or when you want to spend your entire Saturday in bed.

Alumni of the design program at UNT will showcase their best work at the “UNTold + New” exhibit at UNT on the Square. The exhibit spans more than five decades to include work by alumni from the class of 1964 and some as recent as spring 2011.

Of the 729 submissions from 115 alumni, judge Patrick Coyne selected 123 pieces for the show. Coyne has been the creative director and editor for Communication Arts Magazine since 1986.

“The program has been producing great work for years,” said Eric Ligon, associate dean of the College of Visual Arts and Design. “We thought it was time to celebrate the accomplish-ments of our alumni and put together a show.”

Ligon said the department asked alumni to send exam-ples of their best work. Artists turned in posters, illustrations and photography. Though most of the items were made in the last five years, there is also work from the ‘70s and ‘80s in the gallery.

Bob Dennard submitted

some of the brochures and newsletters he’d designed over the last 15 years for advertising

campaigns.Dennard has worked on

campaigns for Vista Ridge,

Collin Creek Mall and NorthPark Center. He said the program at UNT has always produced great

work and it has gotten better over time since he graduated in 1964.

‘Bruceteria’ prepares to open in coming weeks

holly harvey Staff Writer

Bruce Cafeteria is scheduled to reopen later this month pending completion of a $2 million construction project that includes the addition of a new dish room, a remodeled dining area and significant changes to the kitchen.

Construction is still in prog-ress at the cafeteria that was scheduled to have already opened. Assistant director of dining services Shohreh Sparks did not know an exact date for the re-opening, but confirmed the cafeteria is on schedule to open later this month.

“With renovations, you’re kind of at the mercy of the contractors and every day there are changes,” she said.

The revamp ma kes t he cafeteria more environmen-tally friendly, changes long-standing structural issues and better accommodates the number of students, Sparks said.

“We try to make each cafe-teria different, and Bruce is going to be more fresh,” she said.

The ma in focus of t he remodel was the dish rooms and kitchen area, said Michael

$2 million makeover nears

completion

Dining services plans to update the seating areas of Bruce soon to add more seats and update the design as soon as it gets approval for the approximately $1 mil l ion project, Sparks said.

Students can expect food selections that are similar

to what the cafeteria previ-ously offered with the addi-tions of a new serving line for pasta and a grill. The same soup, sandwiches, pi z za, vegeta r ia n a nd homestyle choices will still be available as well as the dessert and salad bars.

Hi l la r y Mi ra nda, a n education sophomore, said Bruce was her favorite cafe-teria and she can’t wait to eat there again.

“Bruce was really good and I’ve missed it,” she said. “I’ll be lining up to go in once it opens.”

Falk, former m a n a g e r o f B r u c e C a f e t e r i a and current m a n a g e r o f K e r r Cafeteria. A new acc u-mulator that

acts as a conveyer belt for dishes was installed, thus enabling the cafeteria to go tray-less. The whole setup of the kitchen was changed to be more open, and the dish room was moved to the basement of Bruce, Sparks said.

A major issue of the cafe-teria cooking area was the ventilation and hood systems over the stoves, Sparks said. Bruce Hall was built in 1947, and it was difficult for the building’s aging structure to handle the increasing amount of students. To better manage crowd control, more serving lines were added for students.

“With renovations, you’re kind of at the mercy of the

contractors and every day there are changes.”

Ligon said the department chose Coyne to judge the pieces for the show because of his understanding of design and his ability to place a value on pieces that may look outdated or old-fashioned to the average viewer.

“Desig n goes t h roug h different phases, different trends,” Ligon said. “The good thing about the show is that everything is anchored in really smart ideas, so the concept is constant.”

Alex Egner, a program coor-dinator and UNT alumnus, said he hopes the exhibit will bring more attention to the program at UNT while also celebrating the success of alumni.

“By introducing a national judge, it gives it a little bit of a national outreach,” Egner said. “But it is also to bring alumni back into the fold, which I think is always a good thing to help keep them connected to the program that set them on their path to success.”

The men’s and women’s cross-countr y teams head to Fayet tev i l le, A rk ., to compete in the 23rd annual Chi le Pepper Fest iva l on Saturday.

Running in its most compet-itive meet of the season, UNT will see national powers such as No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 15 Arkansas in an enor-mous f ield of teams. Last year’s race saw more than 50 teams compete on each side.

T h is w i l l be t he f i na l meet for the teams before t he Su n Belt Con ference Championships on Oct. 29. Head coach Sam Burroughs sa id he wa nts to see his runners run their best race yet.

“The last third of the race is where the racing real ly starts,” Burroughs said. “I want to see my runners step up and pass people during that stretch.”

On Saturday, seven UNT men will step into unchar-tered territory as they bump t heir race distance up to 10km, their longest race of the season.“This race wil l be challenging for the guys because of the extra distance,” Burroughs said. “It would be like the football team playing

five quarters.”In the past two meets, the

men’s inexperience showed, as many runners started too fast and paid for it later on. However, freshman Aurelio Si lva said he believes the

“We’ve seen what it’s like to compete in a big race,” Silva said. “All of us know that we have to focus on our own race and control our pace.”

Si lva said the men w il l t r y to bu i ld moment u m before conference to gain

confidence.“I would like to see us set personal records at this race, but getting through this meet healthy is the most important thing,” Silva said.

On the women’s side, eight runners will compete in the

5k race. For the f irst t ime of t he season, UNT’s top three women, seniors Ingrid Mollenkopf and Sara Dietz and freshman Hanna Rice, will compete together.

“I want to run the fastest 5k I’ve ever run,” Mollenkopf said. “Sara and I have been pushing each other in prac-tice and that should pay off in the race.”

The team hopes to build off previous strong performances and continue to shed its times at the festival.

“A ll of our women have f igured out how to race,” Mollenkopf said. “It’s time to bring those times down and compete with the best.”

In its f ina l non-confer-ence game of the season, the UNT volleyball team fell to in-state opponent Baylor in straight sets (25-15, 25-21,25-16) Tuesday.

T he Be a r s (15 - 6, 3-3 ) mau led t he Mea n Green (11-12, 2-5) all night on the attack, hitting .263 for the game and holding NT to a .0 69 h it t i ng perc ent age. Junior right side hitter Alyssa Dibbern led the Bears with 12 kills with a .409 hitting percentage.

“We saw that they were human a few times in those f irst t wo sets,” UNT head coach Ken Murczek sa id. “They made that big run in t he f irst set, but we were right in it in the second. We had a good plan of attack for the match, but it just didn’t seem like we competed like we did on Monday [against Denver].”

Freshmen middle blocker H a l l i e M c D o n a l d a n d outside hitter Eboni Godfrey combined for 12 kills for the match.

Junior setter May A l len played three sets after limited playing time on Monday and tallied 18 assists for the Mean Green.

“May has been great for us,”

Willey said. “She is an expe-rienced junior who brings energy to the court and the bench when she’s not in the game.”

The Mean Green will try to avenge a two-game road sweep from two weeks ago when ULM and Louisiana-Lafayette visit Denton this weekend.

Matt Montayne didn’t have to wait long after college to find a job.

Two months after gradu-ating from Midwestern State University in May, Montayne was hired as the goalkeeper coach for the UNT soccer team.

“W hen I got it, it was awesome. I was excited,” he said. “NCAA Division I first year? You can’t do anything but get excited.”

With a resume including international and profes-sional experience as a player and four years of collegieate coaching, Montayne has used his knowledge of the position to mentor freshman goalie Jackie Kerestine as she transitions into the college game.

Montayne got his start as a goalie in pickup soccer games with his friends. The 5-foot-8 former private instructor said his friends put him in goal because he was shorter than them.

“We used to play basketball for fun and I was always the last one picked, and they’d throw me alley oops and I’d hang on the rim and get it,” he said. “It was like white men can’t jump; well, this one can.”

In junior high school, Montay ne tested himself against international competi-

tion in Prague, Czech Republic, while playing for the U.S. Junior Olympic Team.

“They sent me [to Czech Republic] with my mom and my grandma and it was crazy,” Montayne said. “All the gypsies running around and all the vandalism and stuff, but the good part was seeing all the

castles and stuff like that.”After winning the gold

medal, he stayed in Prague for six months to play on a team and experienced the difference in Prague fans and U.S. fans.

“You see fans throwing stuff and lighting stuff on fire and you know, you’re on the field while this is happening,” he

said. “You just have to keep your composure and just keep playing through it.”

Montay ne reached t he semi-pro level, which helped him get to the position he’s in now.

“We heard a lot of good things about him through a lot of contacts that I have in

the Dallas area and people that I’ve played professionally with have said he’s an outstanding teacher of the game to the goal-keepers,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said.

Since starting as a goal-keepers coach, Montayne has coached at his alma mater and numerous youth clubs. He has

also coached kids as young as 3 years old.

“It’s a disaster,” he said of coaching 3-year-olds. “You’ve just got to be real patient, but yeah it’s a disaster.”

In his first season, Montayne’s biggest challenge has been teaching Kerestine as she tries to replace Mandy Hall, who finished her UNT career last season as the all-time leader in shutouts and saves. Kerestine has thrived in her first season, starting each of UNT’s 14 games and going 378:59 without allowing a goal before UNT’s 4-1 win against Troy Sunday.

“Having a freshman and a junior [goalkeeper Haley Newsom] to work with is great; it offsets,” Montayne said. “You got your newcomers and people that have been here, so you can tweak this person and then see what this person’s going to be like in four years.”

Montayne now spends most of his time coaching, spending time with his 9-year-old son and his fiance, whom he’s known since age 5.

The Garland native majored in dental hygiene at Midwestern State and hopes to find a job in the field soon – but it’ll be a while before he leaves coaching.

“My whole life has revolved around soccer since I was 3,” he said. “So this is going to go on for a while.”

In the first set, UNT held its own early, but the Bears exploded with the score tied at 12, going on a 9-0 run to seal the first set win.

D e s pit e b e i n g s w e pt , UNT played solid defense t h roug hout, w it h sen ior libero Sarah Willey posting a match-high 20 digs, her sixth 20-dig outing of the season.

“We have to show up every game,” Willey said. “Teams are going to show up against us every match, so we can’t get comfortable just because we won on Monday.”

“The last third of the race is where the racing really starts. I want to see my runners step up and pass

people during that stretch.”—Sam Burroughs

Advice to Wall Street protestersEditorial

{

{

Campus Chat

Douglas ThompsonPsychology senior

Political pundits have said Occupy Wall Street protesters won’t be effective unless they

establish goals. Do you agree or disagree?

“I agree and I disagree because they are already being effective because it has gone nationwide. But I think they should have

goals; that way they know where to turn rather than

be scattered.”

“Agree. It is important to have goals and if you don’t have

goals and people are showing up in masses and people

are doing their own thing, it becomes bandwagon in

rather than a general protest.”

Shake: Dallas City Council occupies protesters’ time by giving them runaround

As a part of the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, a group of protesters took to Dallas streets six days ago. For five of the six days, the group has spent the night in Pioneer Plaza in Dallas.

On Tuesday, a small group of people from Occupy Dallas requested a special permit from the city because the protests are taking place on city property.

Later in the evening, Dallas City Council granted Occupy Dallas its permit request, but with a few stipulations attached that must be met by 5 p.m. Friday. According to the permit, Occupy Dallas must purchase $1 million in liability insur-ance and provide the city with the certificate of its purchase – a ridiculous request for a protest that for six days has never hinted at becoming violent.

The first amendment of the United States Constitution does not require a $1 million insurance policy to guarantee the right to peaceably assemble. The Dallas City Council shouldn’t, either.

Nod: Dallas Police cooperate with protestors

The Boston Police Department became one of the 10 most-discussed topics on Twitter after officers arrested hundreds of Occupy Boston protesters Tuesday.

The Occupy Boston protests were civil and peaceful until the protesters expanded their campsite to a second location, which the Boston Police Department believed would cause concern for public safety.

The police gave the protesters until nightfall to vacate the second campsite and return to their original spot. When the protesters failed to leave, though, officers began to forcibly arrest protesters after 1 a.m. – some of which were veterans.

Meanwhile, the protesters occupying Pioneer Plaza in Dallas have had a much different experience with the Dallas Police Department, who chased off a security team that asked the protesters to leave.

The Editorial Board thanks the Dallas Police Department for going out of its way to protect and serve the public.

Nod: FBI and DEA foil Iran terror plot

Federal U.S. officials announced on Tuesday afternoon that they successfully interrupted an Iran-backed plot to commit “a significant terroristic act in the United States.”

Shortly after the announcement, the U.S. government filed a five-count criminal complaint that pressed charges against Iranian-American Manssir Arbabsiar and Gohlam Shakuri, an Iranian official in the Quds force, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Among the charges filed were: conspiring to kill a foreign official, conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiring to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries, according to the U.S. complaint.

The Editorial Board commends the FBI and DEA for their work to prevent the assassination and terroristic plans that were due to take place this week.

In 1951, A lber t Ca mus wrote “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt,” in which he makes an important, albeit arbitrary, distinction between the concepts of “rebellion” and “revolution.” To him, a rebel is “a man who says no, but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.”

Rebellion is the need to correct an injustice and create a fair system. Revolution, then, is the compulsion to reverse the current circum-stances and put yourself in power while hiding under the guise of reform.

Neither the right nor the left accepted this view, and both ostracized Camus after the essay was published.

During the past few years, w e’v e s e en m a ny l a r ge protests across the country for various causes. We watched as conservative Republicans complained about one estab-lishment while funded by another.

M o s t o f t h e g r o u p s

supporting this supposedly g rassroots act iv ism were the people who epitomized the establishment the last time around this cycle. For e x a m p l e , f o r m e r U N T professor a nd ex-Spea ker of t he House Dick A rmey controls Freedom Works.

In the streets and parks of New York and now also in Dallas and Denton, we’re seeing a dif ferent k ind of movement a i med not at reducing the power of those who are elected but rather of those who aren’t. In that respect, I admire it.

But w e’v e he a rd t h i s ra l ly ing cr y before : “The system is broken.”

Perhaps it is, and if the goal of this movement is to reform it, good for them. If we’ve learned anything from history, though, it’s that nebu-lous goals and populist plati-tudes are the most common tactics the former “estab-lishment” uses to unseat the current one.

I n rea l it y, t he ha l low sy mbol ism of bu r n i ng a f lag and the trite jingoism of wearing it on every piece of clothing are both empty gest u res mea nt to evoke emotions, not create mean-ingful reform.

To those opposed to the protest s, remember t hat conservatives have shoved buzzwords like “freedom” and “liberty” down our collective throat for years, but we are no freer and have no more liberty than when their movement started.

The inability to create posi-tive change should always be the ultimate damnation of any political movement.

For those participating in the Occupy Movement in this area, my message is simple: Don’t be fooled by the same types of slogans and omni-directional spite that the last movement got lost in.

So far, protesters have for the most part stayed informed and peaceful, but we know

that certain media outlets will look for revenge for making their pet movement look bad the last time around.

Keep doing what you’re doing, but know what you want and never give them a rea son to doubt you r honesty.

Never lose sight of the goal, which should always be to reform, not simply reject.

The 911 phone cal l was frantic.

T he ca l ler beg ged t he dispatcher to hurry, that the victims weren’t breathing. EMT Mike Harper then got on the line.

“We have two 10-85 ECHOs here,” he said.

A 10-85 ECHO is an obvious fatality.

This conversation occurred in December 2009 just outside of Logan, Utah, at the scene of a car accident caused by 19-yea r-old Regg ie Shaw. Shaw had been texting at the time his car drifted into the oncoming lane.

While tragic, this type of accident is not uncommon. In 2009, more than 5,000 people were killed in accidents that involved distracted driving. Today, more than 80 percent of traffic accidents are due to driver distraction.

According to a study by the University of Utah, texting while driving is a lmost as

dangerous as driving with a blood alcohol content that is two times the legal limit.

On Sept. 13, A rl ing ton joi ne d A u s t i n a nd S a n Antonio to become the third city in Texas to ban texting while driving.

After enforcement of the ban begins in November, drivers can be issued a $200 fine if they are caught texting or using any other applica-tions while driving. However, it will remain perfectly legal to make phone calls while driving.

W hile the ban is a good starting point, it should be extended to include all cell phone use.

Just a s A rl i ng ton Cit y C ou nc i l member J i m my Bennett pointed out to the Fort Wort h Sta r-Telegra m after the vote was announced, the law as it stands will make it di f f icult for of f icers to determine whether a motorist was texting or just dialing

a number to make a phone call.

D e s p i t e h a r d f a c t s t hat distracted driv ing is dangerous, there are st i l l those who feel the govern-ment has no business telling people they can’t use their cell phone while driving. Gov. Rick Perry sits among those people.

Earlier this year, he vetoed a bill that would have banned texting while driving in the state of Texas because it was a “government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.”

True as this may be, if that adu lt behav ior resu lts in increasing the chance that a person will severely injure or kill a complete stranger, the government should “micro-manage” its heart out. Had someone close to Perry been on the other side of Reggie Shaw’s car, Perry might be singing a different tune.

Yes, a ban may be diff i-

cult to enforce at first, and yes, it may be slightly incon-venient to not make phone calls or send emails while driving. But isn’t a human life worth it?

Contact your congressman and tel l him that changes need to happen, and they need to happen now a s Denton’s streets become more and more crowded.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing num-bers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to fol-low. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
