Increased ridership for the DCTA bus service and the new A-train have helped a l lev iate UNT’s pa rk ing and traffic congestion this semester, as more students opt to ride rather than drive to campus, officials said.

Parking permit sales are down by more than 6 percent from the spring semester, a decline that, along with the opening of a 900-space parking garage this summer, has helped free up parking spaces in permit lots across campus, said UNT parking and transportation director Joe Richmond.

T h e c om bi n a t i on of increased transportat ion services and infrastructure improvements has g iven commuting students more options, he said..

“It tells me part of the people that were driving to campus are now riding the shuttle,” Richmond said. “We sold less permits and rider-ship is up on the buses. We want that balance so we can help reduce congestion.”

Richmond said both UNT parking garages have seen more use t his semester, with more than 270 permits sold.

Public transitUNT ridership on DCTA

buses has increased by more than 14 percent since last

year, said Dee Leggett, DCTA’s vice president of communi-cation and planning.

Leggett said the addition of a bus route connecting the downtown transit center to the UNT campus has helped push the bus service to nearly 290,000 riders this year.

“Route 9, which we imple-mented in late August, is now our highest performing route,” Leggett said. “We’ve seen almost 50 percent more people t han we did last September.”

After a slow summer start, A-train ridership jumped 20 percent in the first weeks of the fall semester. She said the train now sees about 1,500 riders disembark daily, adding that the ridership grew as people across Denton became more comfortable with the process.

“Because they now know the routes, it’s a lot easier to make a connection,” Leggett said. “We are dedicated to the improved effectiveness of the transit system for both local users and commuters.”

Measuring the cost of a college education just got a little bit easier for prospec-tive college students and their families.

A provision of the 2008 federal Higher Education Opportunity Act went into ef fec t late la st mont h, requiring nearly all public universities in the U.S. to have online links to “net cost calculators” to help incoming students and their families estimate the cost of college.

The calculators provide a way for potential students to weigh their options as t hey consider u n iversi-ties, said Diane Cheng, a researcher at the Institute for College Access & Success, a nonprofit that studies ways

to make higher education more affordable and avail-able in the U.S.

“They can be very valu-able tools,” Cheng said. “A lot of t imes [without the calculators] you wouldn’t know until very deep into the process how much you’re paying for an education.”

UNT’s Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office gives its own estimates of a 15-hour academic semester at UNT, taking into account tuition as well as factors like room and board, books and supplies, and whether a student l ives on or off campus.

The office’s estimate for an in-state student taking a full course load for an academic year at UNT ranges from about $18,000 for a student living at home with his or her

family to about $20,000 for a student living off campus in Denton. UNT students from out-of-state pay about $9,000 more on average. “We think students should be looking at net price, which is certainly increasing,” Cheng said. “Given the increasing cost of tuition, [the calcula-tors] can give these students and families a sense of those costs much earlier in the process.”

U N T ’s f i n a nc i a l a id website also links to the Texas Hig her Educat ion C o o r d i n a t i n g B o a r d col lege cost ca lcu lator, which ta kes a student’s family’s income and parents’ marital status into account before producing an esti-mate.

For the UNT football team, the sixth time was the charm.After going 0-5 in road games this season, the Mean Green (4-6, 3-3) earned its f irst victory away from Denton, defeating the Troy Trojans (2-7, 1-4) 38-33 in a back-and-forth tilt Saturday in Troy, Ala.

“There’s so much success and tradition and champion-ships here at Troy,” UNT head coach Dan McCarney said. “To come in here and win this game, and reach down like my team did and show the grit, resolve and courage; these

kids deserved this win.”The game was the first time

UNT has defeated the Trojans on the road, as it had lost the previous four meetings in Troy.

In a game that included five lead changes, UNT gained the upper hand by capitalizing on three Troy turnovers. The Mean Green notched 14 points off the three takeaways, including a game-sealing 6-yard touch-down run by senior running back James Hamilton in the fourth quarter.

“It’s what we talk about all the time,” McCarney said. “We were plus seven [in turnovers]

coming into this [game]. If you just keep doing those things and winning turnover margins along with making plays, you have a chance to win games.”

Senior running back Lance Dunbar – the team leader in rushing and receiving yards – injured his right knee on an unsuccessful shuttle pass in the waning moments of the first quarter.

Dunbar returned but left for a second time after being injured again late in the second quarter. His status for UNT’s next game is unknown.

Despite the absence of its top offensive contributor, the Mean

Green offense posted 503 yards – including 105 rushing yards on 19 attempts and two rushing touchdowns from Hamilton, who filled in for Dunbar at running back.

Sophomore quarterback Derek Thompson – who suffered a concussion against Arkansas State on Oct. 29 – had one of the strongest performances of his career. Thompson completed 31 of 38 passes for 331 passing yards, scoring three touch-downs – two passing and one rushing – and throwing one interception.

T h e D e n t o n C o u n t y Tra nspor tat ion Aut hor it y A-t ra in st r uck a nd k i l led Dustin O’Dell, a radio, tele-v ision and f i lm senior, on Friday.

O’Dell was walking south-bound along A-train tracks between the Hebron Station a nd Fr a n k for d Roa d i n

C a r r o l l t on at around 8 a.m. Friday w h e n t h e t r a i n h i t him.

“We have n o i n d i -c a t i o n o f why he was

there,” said Dee Leggett, vice president of communications

and planning for DCTA. “The area isn’t near any popula-tion centers or busy path-ways.”

Leggett said this tragedy should serve as a reminder to the public that train corri-dors are dangerous to pedes-trians, and only designated sidewalks or pathways should be used when walking near tracks.

“The t ra in f i rst sta r ted r u n n i ng i n Ju ne, a nd no fatalities have occurred until now,” Leggett said. “We’re continuing to work with the Federal Railroad Commission to [tell] the community about safety near railroads.”

Mer r ie Ea r nest, a UNT alumna, was aboard the rear car of the train when it hit O’Dell and said initially, the

passengers and conductor thought someone had jumped off the train.

“ We w ere lo ok i ng for someone who had jumped off – maybe [another passenger] saw someone fall,” Earnest said. “A couple of minutes later I saw a conduc tor looking around.”

A f ter a few m i nutes of confusion, Earnest said the

train began mov ing again and arrived at Trinity Mills station soon after.

“We didn’t talk about it, and the conductor didn’t say anything,” she said. “I don’t think even they knew what happened. It’s surprising to think you can be so close to someone’s death.”

O’Dell, a resident of Garland, was a DJ for KNTU on Saturday afternoons and used the A-train to commute to and from campus, said KNTU news manager Mark Lambert.

“As to what he was doing walking a long that section, that will remain a mystery with everyone,” Lambert said. “I did hear from one of the professors that he actually had an appoint-ment with Dustin on Friday at noon. Yet, he was walking south-bound at 8 in the morning.”

O’Dell had a passion for sports broadcasting and was planning to attend graduate school in the future, said Kasi Brown, student program director for KNTU.

“He knew about all the sports going on in North Texas,” Brown said. “It was rare that he wasn’t wearing some kind of sports logo.”

The radio, television and film department is making plans to pay tribute to O’Dell in some way.

“We miss seeing him,” Brown said. “I don’t think it has sunken in yet that he’s gone.”

A memorial service for O’Dell will be held Saturday at Williams Funeral Directors in Garland.

“If you’re a college student and you’re not fighting for something, you’re missing out on part of your college experience,” he said.

Ben Kessler, a philosophy junior and Iraq War veteran, facilitated the meeting, in which the group expressed concerns about homelessness and curfew in city parks, as well as fares and schedules for DCTA buses and trains. Other grievances included the city’s dependence on natural gas and the legality of fracking in oil production.

“I think anything that’s getting students talking about sustenta-tive issues is a good thing,” Roden said, adding that the protesters are only one interest group

among many the City Council contends with. “Time will tell where it goes and how effec-tive it is.”

About a dozen people are now living full-time on the lawn across from UNT’s Art Building, Kessler said.

The protesters depend on the school and businesses for bathroom needs, while some Denton residents have opened their homes for hygienic needs, including showers and laundry, Kessler said.

Kessler, who said he’s content with how the protest has gone in its first month, appreciates the sanctuary the school has given the group, but is unsure how long the protest will remain at its current location on Fry and Hickory streets.

“We’ll go wherever we’re most

effective,” he said.UNT spokesman Buddy Price

said the protesters have permis-sion to remain on the designated area for as long as they need. The university has, however, cut Occupy off public water use.

Neighbors including Jimmy John’s and Pita Pit, both located a block down from the Occupy campground on Avenue A, expressed satisfaction in having Occupy Denton as neighbors and customers.

“We don’t tie anything to trees, we don’t nail anything to trees. We don’t stick anything in the ground,” Kessler said. “I’m an environmentalist.”

The campground accommo-dates trash and recyclables, and protesters have made an effort to respect the area, he said.

Dominic Chavez, execu-tive director of external rela-tions for the board, praised the calculators for bringing transparency to a compli-cated matter; however, he also said they could shed light on an issue that has not escaped the attention of students, law ma kers, university administrators or anyone with thousands of dollars in student loan debt: The steep rise in college tuition costs is “unsustain-able.”

“T here’s a ver y long-term challenge of making it affordable,” Chavez said. “H ig her educat ion w i l l

reach a breaking point if we continue on this path.”

According to a Col lege Board report released last mont h, publ ic fou r-yea r universities in the U.S. raised tuition by about 8.3 percent, or $8,244 from 2010; however, UNT’s tuition increased 2.8 percent during the same time period.

More and more students, disillusioned with the high pr ices a nd of ten i nt a n-g ible va lue of a col lege degree, are turning to more cost-ef fect ive communit y colleges straight out of high school before moving on to a four-year university, Chavez said.

“It’s like any commodity,” he said. “You can only raise the cost of bread so many

t i mes before people say, ‘you know, I’m going to eat crackers.’”

W h i le i n for mat ion on c ol lege c ost s ha s never been a big secret, Kameron L e w el len, a p s y c holog y s e n i o r a n d m e n t o r a t U N T ’s S t u d e n t M o n e y Management Center, said the calculators signify a push to make the information more available.

Bot h u n iver sit ie s a nd st udent s play a role i n a d d r e s s i n g c o s t s , a n d Lewellen said it is important for students to take responsi-bility and plan for their finan-cial well-being.

“Students are going to have to come in and realize they don’t have three years to pick a major,” Lewellen said.

R ich mond s a id m a ny contractors a nd foremen working on the building last semester took up a sizable portion of parking around the center of campus.

“A lot of those folks parked out at Fouts Field,” Richmond said. “Some of the foremen and contractors that were more the management of those projects parked around the center of campus. They’re gone now.”

Despite t he decreased congestion, some students said they’re not satisfied with the current parking situation.

Chaz Wallace, an undecided freshman, lives in Kerr Hall and has a residential parking permit but said he encounters problems finding a place to park on a daily basis.

“There are never parking spots,” Wallace said. “I live at Kerr and I’ve gotten tickets sometimes because there are no parking spots around, except across campus.”

Anthony Gerhart, a radio,

television and film senior, said he parks a few blocks away in a residential area to avoid buying a parking permit. Gerhart transferred from Texas A&M and said the parking situation is much better at UNT.

“There’s certainly a lot more congestion [at A&M] and there’s nowhere to park near campus anywhere,” Gerhart said. “It’s like a 20-minute walk. In perspective, this is a lot nicer.”

Richmond said the univer-sity is looking to change the way it handles visitor parking in the near future, and may consider asking more visitors to pay for space in the parking garages.

“We have to revise the visi-tors situation so everyone has to pay so that ends those prob-lems,” Richmond said. “The more people that park in the garage, it’s easier to keep permit prices low.”

Parking and transportation is also working with other univer-sity departments, including the UNT Police Department, to increase the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians on campus following the shared path-

ways initiative that has come into full swing this semester. UNT deputy police chief Ed

Reynolds said UNT will develop a campaign to educate those commuting around campus

on bikes and on foot.“We are looking at doing

an educational push with the

other departments at UNT,” Reynolds said. “We all share the roads.”

dren,” physician’s assistant Patti Pagels said.

The project focused on the medical problems the shelter’s population faced most often, like high blood pressure and asthma, as well as children’s immunizations, 30-40 percent of who were not up to date on their vaccines, Pagels said.

Under Pagels and Dr. Nora

Gimpels’s guidance, the students conducted research with the shelter’s homeless population to assess the barriers they face in receiving health care.

Through the interviewing process, Chi and Samudra found that most barriers preventing adequate health care for women and children at the shelter center on economic issues. Increasing

c o s t s o f m e d i c i n e and primary care, as well as documen-tat ion a nd transporta-tion issues, seemed to be the most prevalent problems.

“A lot of these people, even when they had jobs, didn’t have the necessary information to fill out the paperwork and be able to reach the healthcare resources that were available to them,” Chi said. “I remember this man, whom I helped get reading glasses, the look on his face when he finally had them. It was this ‘AHA’ moment, really pure and simple.”

The project’s goal is to develop inter ventions for hospitals and shelters and a specific plan to address these issues in the situation, Chi said.

“We’ll use the research to make some changes in what kinds of health services we offer in the clinic, mainly adding services to the clinic,” Pagels said.

When their f indings are presented in Baniff, Alberta, on Nov. 12, Chi said he hopes the research will help create a plan that to address the entire span of the social needs the home-less population is facing.

UNT musicians honored at national competitionsPablo arauzStaff Writer

Flutist Terri Sundberg of the music faculty has seen several of her protégés recognized recently as top competitors to the nation’s most prestigious flute compe-titions.

“I’m very blessed to have very talented students in my studio; they work very hard and they are very self-motivated,” she said.

Sarah Tran, a flute perfor-mance junior, ranked first at the National Flute Association’s Orchestral Audition while Chao Wang, music graduate student, placed third at the competition in August.

“When you’re in an artistic field where everything is very competitive, you can’t just do the minimum and expect to get results or gigs from people. You have to put yourself out there and be a little bit aggressive with it to get opportunities for later,” Wang said.

Tran and Wang are not the only students of Sundberg’s recog-nized recently.

Terri Sanchez, a graduate student, won first prize at the San Diego Flute Guild Artist Gold Solo competition and second place at the 26th Myrna W. Brown compe-tition held here in Denton.

On the state level, Brittney Balkcom and Charlene Gilstrap won second and third place at the Texas Music Educators Association competition.

Wayla Chambo, a music grad-uate student who placed third at the South Carolina Flute Society competition in 2009, doubles her musical talents as a dancing flutist.

Chambo said she started dancing after a dancer at the National Flute Association competition inspired here. Last summer, she was selected to perform as a dancer at the same competition.

“There are a lot of people who play the flute and so part of the reason that I’ve done these things, dancing, playing new music, is kind of an effort to find my own particular niche,” she said.

This spring she will perform at the Texas Flute Society fair.

Balkcom said she struggled with shyness as a performer and attributes her success to Sundberg’s particular teaching style.

“With her you have to be very self-disciplined. She’ll lead you where you need to go, point you

in the right direction and give you all the tools that you need to get there, but you have to do it your-self,” she said.

Sundberg has played flute for most of her life and has trav-eled the world extensively as a performer and teacher. She’s performed at music schools and performance halls in Korea, China, Europe and South America.

“The flute is one of the closest instruments to the human voice and that’s something I can relate to,” she said.

TAMS senior David Chi’s work at the Dallas Center of Hope homeless shelter began as a volunteer opportunity to gain experience in the medical field.

It ended with a research study on the healthcare needs of the shelter’s popu-lation.

While volunteering at the shelter Chi joined Niyatee Samudra, a UT Southwestern fellow, in her research on the healthcare needs of the homeless.

“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to do all of the hands-on work,” Chi stated, saying that the experience would not have been as enriching had he not been allowed to participate so actively in the research.

Their work centered on interviewing subjects primarily through focus groups, as well as conducting surveys and reviewing the shelter’s demographic charts from the past four years. These charts contained information like the ages, ethnicities and health issues among the shelter’s popu-lation.

When Gustavo Alvarez first came to the United States in ninth grade from Mexico, he didn’t speak a word of English.

“I was very scared,” said A lva rez, a n eng i neer i ng freshman. “Throughout high school I didn’t have anyone to tell me about college and all of my teachers, they didn’t know Spanish so they couldn’t communicate with me. It was a struggle.”

Alvarez’s story parallels the experiences felt by many of the 15 percent of students in Texas who learn English as a second language, according to the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory.

Rossana Boyd is the director of the Future Bilingual Teachers Academy, a project at UNT that attempts to help fill this need for bilingual educators.

Lauren Sink, an educa-tion senior, said teachers are encouraged to be certified to teach ESL.

“I think that in every class-room there is going to be at least one bilingual student,” she said. “We need to have the training in college to learn how to teach these students in the best way possible.”

T he Fut u re Bi l i ng u a l Teachers Academy reaches out to Hispanic high-school students from Fort Worth school districts and encour-ages them to consider bilin-gual education as a career.

Students in the academy

spend a night at UNT and attend classes and other UNT events to help them get a feel of what university life is like, said Alvarez, the student assis-tant for the project.

“Unfortunately I lacked a teacher who was experienced in ESL,” Alvarez said. “They didn’t have a language center at my school, so it was very challenging for me … I was forced to understand what the teachers were saying basi-cally, but I believe if I had some help, if I had a teacher that was experienced in teaching it then I would have learned it faster.”

Even t houg h st udent s who are in the academy are not making any permanent commitment, they are recog-nized after completing the project. The number of those who have completed t he program has risen from 30 students to 100 in just three years.

Educating students whose first language is not English is made even more difficult due to the high poverty rate among groups like Latinos, Boyd said. Six million Hispanic children compared to five million non-Hispanic white children are in poverty, according to a recent report released by the Pew Hispanic Center.

“They may not have books at home or their parents are working and may not have time to read to them,” Boyd said. “While in other commu-nities that have more money, students have more advan-tages, even at home and more exposure to learning experiences than children in poverty.”

Boyd is also serving as the president for the National A ssociat ion of Bi l i ng ua l Education, the only profes-sional organization that repre-sents bilingual educators and bilingual learners.

Forty minutes into the 2011-2012 season, the UNT men’s basketball team has yet to trail as the team earned a convincing victory in its home opener on Friday.

The Mean Green (1-0) used a 20-0 first-half run to overwhelm St. Gregory’s 81-52. All 12 UNT players scored.

“I thought we got off to a good start tonight and we improved from our game on Wednesday,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “I thought we tried to play within ourselves in terms of executing our offense and trying to get stops on the defensive end.”

With a regular season-ending loss at Denver, the UNT volley-ball team continued a 35-year old trend this weekend.

The Mean Green (16-16, 7-9) missed the chance to become the first Mean Green squad since 1976 to record back-to-back winning seasons after falling in four sets to the Pioneers (13-15, 10-6).

Even with the loss, UNT clinched the sixth seed in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. The Mean will face No. 3 Arkansas State, a team it defeated in three sets two weeks ago.

Freshman leads in opening winMen’s Basketball than nine minutes to start the

game. The onslaught helped UNT to an 18-point halftime lead.

“We practiced really hard on what we needed to work on from Wednesday,” said freshman guard Chris Jones, who led the team with 12 rebounds. “It was very important to jump on them quickly because the first four minutes of each half is so impor-tant.”

Chris Jones started in the backcourt with fellow freshman Jordan Williams, who led the team with 16 points on 50 percent shooting.

“I’m not gonna lie; I was pretty nervous,” Williams said of making the start. “I think I played well, though. I wanted to get the ball and try to make plays for my teammates, so it went well.”

Oklahoma State transfer Roger Franklin played for the first time as a member of the Mean Green after having to miss Wednesday’s

exhibition victory because the NCAA hadn’t approved his transfer request yet. It was approved on Thursday and the junior forward scored 4 points in 15 minutes of action.

“I think the fact that he’s had an opportunity to play at this level helps,” Johnny Jones said. “He can play inside and out, so he’s definitely going to be an asset.”

The Mean Green won’t play in the Super Pit for almost a month, as it doesn’t have another home game until Dec. 10. Starting Wednesday at Texas Tech, the Mean Green will play seven straight on the road.

“Well shoot, it’s always good to win,” Johnny Jones said. “We do have a tough stretch in front of us, but I think it’s going to afford this team the opportunity to grow even stronger playing against some tough road competi-tion.”

Volleyball happened is over and now it’s a new season,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “We are excited that we have another chance now heading into the tournament.”

UNT hit just .023 on the match, with three of its players hitting in negative percentages. Denver also out-blocked the Mean Green 16-5, ending UNT’s three-match streak where it out-blocked its opponents.

Denver’s junior blocker Faimie Kingsley haunted the Mean Green, landing 16 kills – tied for match-best – on .520 hitting and collecting more blocks (10) than the entire UNT team had for the match (5).

There were a couple of bright spots for the Mean Green on each side of the ball.

Freshman outside hitter Eboni

Godfrey racked up a team-high 14 kills on .100 hitting and senior libero Sarah Willey led the defen-sive effort with a match-high tying 18 digs.

“Of course we’ve had our hard time, but we’ve got our game plan and if it isn’t broke don’t fix it,” Godfrey said. “You fall down; you got to build yourself up, work harder and the problems that we showed we fix them.”

Willey said the team feels confident heading into the play-offs.

“We have short-term memory, so we’re forgetting about this past weekend,” Willey said. “This tour-nament is anyone’s to take. The season showed that teams are not just going to fall down when they walk into the gym, and we’ll have to be ready for that.”

Mean Green is scheduled to play its last seasonal game Friday at Denver before the Sun Belt Tournament Nov. 17-19 in Miami, Fla.

“The receivers made a lot of plays and the offen-sive line gave me a chance today,” Thompson said. “T he play ca l l i ng wa s great and we were able to execute.”

UNT has t wo ga mes remaining this season – both at Apogee Stadium – and has a chance to finish the season with a break-even record of 6-6 after last weekend’s win. If the Mean Green wins out, it will be eligible to play in a bowl game.

Last season, the women’s basketball team went 5-25 and finished last in the West Div ision of t he Sun Belt Conference.

Now, after starting its season Friday, the Mean Green is off to a 2-0 start and has begun its rebuilding process.

“It feels awesome; it feels like we’ve just won a cham-pionship,” senior Jasmine Godbolt said. “Just to win two games in a row, it is awesome.”

Opening with a winThe Era of Aston started on a

high note as UNT routed cross-town rival UT-Arlington 66-47 in Arlington Friday night.

The win made new head coach Karen Aston just the second women’s basketball head coach to win their Mean Green debut.

Winning its second straight season opener, the Mean Green allowed its lowest point total since 2009.

“The press [defense] helped us out against UTA,” junior guard Brittany Hudson said. “That’s what gave us a really big spark and we’re going to use that unti l it stops working.”

The game featured five ties and four lead changes in the opening minutes, but UNT began to pull away thanks to some hot shooting and led at the half 42-34.

The Mean Green continued its high shooting percentage

into the second half, leading by as many as 21 and finishing the game shooting 43.6 percent from the f loor.

UNT held UTA to just 34 percent shooting for the game and never let the Mavericks get closer than 15 points after building an 18-point lead.

Godbolt led UNT in scoring, nett ing 16 points on 7-12 shooting and collecting eight rebounds.

Super start at the PitThe Mean Green moved to

2-0 with a 63-50 defeat of the New Mexico Lobos in UNT’s regular season home opener Monday night at the Super Pit.

The first half was marked with fast-paced transition offense and poor shooting by each team – UNT shot 14.3 percent from the field while UNM shot 36 percent.

The Mean Green took a

22-19 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks in part to free-throw shooting and aggressive defense.

UNT went 11-15 from the free-throw line in the opening half while on the other side of the f loor the defense helped cause 12 Lobos turnovers.

“Some of it is they’re still learning the timing of [our] offense,” Aston said. “This was a well-coached team [UNM], so the f irst options of the offenses weren’t exactly there and this team hasn’t figured out what happens next if the first one isn’t there.”

The Lobos remained stride for stride with the Mean Green on the scoreboard for much of the second half before UNT w idened t he scoring gap toward the end of the game.

Hudson and Godbolt let the way offensively for the Mean Green, combining for 26 points and 11 rebounds.

To hear some analysts, GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry’s brain freeze during Wednesday’s economics debate was a disaster for his campaign.

For instance, political commen-tator Larry J. Sabato said: “To my memory, Perry’s forgetfulness is the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate.” But there are other things about Perry’s performance, and his candidacy in general, that are more worrisome than a momentary memory lapse, however embarrassing.

The “oops” moment quickly became fodder for comedians, and Perry and his campaign defen-sively joined in the laughter. (On Thursday night, he appeared on David Letterman’s program.)

It was certainly excruciating to watch Perry struggle to name the third government agency he would abolish: “I would do away with the Education, the Commerce and – let’s see – I can’t. The third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.”

Yet is it fair to suggest that Perry’s lapse is disqualifying?

Who among us has not experi-enced a brain freeze, in settings far less intimidating that a nationally televised debate? The argument that Perry’s lapse is nevertheless signif-icant is based on the notion that his forgetfulness was proof that he wasn’t conversant with his own posi-tions, as if the idea of abolishing the Energy Department were the product of campaign staff work that he never quite mastered.

But in fact, abolishing the Energy Department is perfectly consistent with the views of an oil-state governor about federal regulation of energy. The notion that he doesn’t know what the department is or does is absurd.

Another theory of why the brain freeze attracted such comment is that it was the latest in a series of tongue-tied performances by Perry in this season’s GOP debates.

Had another candidate groped for a word, according to this theory, the lapse would soon have been forgotten. That may be true, but while Perry’s appearances, taken together, may reflect badly on his ability to perform in front of a crowd, even that isn’t necessarily a disqualifying factor.

Far more disturbing than Perry’s speechlessness were words that actu-ally were uttered at the debate. In opposing “bailouts,” for instance, several candidates played down the relationship between the U.S. and European economies.

Suggesting that he didn’t think it was necessary to rescue foreign nations on the verge of default, Perry said: “It doesn’t make any difference whether it’s Wall Street or whether it’s some corporate entity or whether it’s some European country. If you are too big to fail, you are too big.”

That answer ignores the potentially devastating effect on the U.S. economy of cascading failures in Europe. It was a point better forgotten.

How do you believe the Supreme Court

will rule on the constitutionality of President Obama’s

health-care package?

“I think every person has the right to health care, you know, to get attainable health care. I think you should get a right to choose, but I think it should be available to anybody; for it to be attainable, for it to not be super-hard to get.”

“I think that the Supreme Court will probably rule in favor of Obama’s health-care reform

because the Supreme Court sees it as nobody really has health

care. Thirty-one million people don’t have health insurance right

now in America, so I’m pretty sure the Supreme Court will

look into that and based on their other decisions, they’re probably

going to go along with it.”

“I know they’re going to say it’s just a benefit for everyone to have it. So I think it will pass.”

Nod: U.S. Supreme Court

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a challenge to President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The court will hear arguments about the constitu-tionality of the “individual mandate” which requires individuals to purchase health-care coverage.

The ruling will determine both the constitutionality of that part of package, and if unconstitutional whether or not the rest of the health-care package can remain law.

Opponents of the mandate argue that the ability to mandate citizens to purchase certain products is a far too enticing ability for Congress to have and that it could be abused for economic gains in the future. Proponents of the mandate contend it’s a necessary mechanism for the

rest of the plan to have a beneficial outcome.

The Supreme Court should be applauded for recognizing the magni-tude and divisiveness of this case by granting an exceptional five and a half hours for oral argument.

Political nerds stay tuned.

Shake: NBA

There goes the season. The National Basketball Players

Association rejected the owner’s final offer in the bargaining process and declared it will decertify its union and take the owners to court in an anti-trust lawsuit.

The NBPA has never filed for decer-tification. All three lockouts before this one were solved through the collective bargaining process, and none of them resulted in a cancelled season.

Decertification and the ensuing legal battle are sure to be a lengthy affair and will likely create enough of a delay to destroy any chance of a basketball season.

Those hurt the most by the lack of a season won’t be the owners whose main source of revenue isn’t usually their own franchise, nor the players who are paid an average of $5 million a year, but rather the food service workers in the teams’ arenas, the ticket checkers and the box office salesman who depend upon 41 home games a year to maintain their live-lihood.

Nod: Coach Dan McCarney

After Saturday’s win against Troy, UNT head football coach Dan McCarney said he was giving every one of his seniors a game ball, even

if that meant him writing the check. He emphasized that this was a huge win for a program that’s been through quite a few ups and downs over the past few years and the players deserve praise.

Whatever McCarney is doing, it’s working.

While UNT hasn’t had the most compelling season, the four-win mark makes this as its best effort since 2004.

This could mark a turning point for the team and the true beginning of “The McCarney Era.”

With a win in each of its last two home games the Mean Green would become bowl eligible. It’s a bit early to get excited about potential bowls, but as a fan of Mean Green football it’s hard not to be giddy about both the direction of the program and Coach McCarney’s enthusiasm.

When Jay-Z and Kanye West – two guys who in 2011 essentially get paid very well for being very good at talking about how very well they get paid – paid a friendly visit to Occupy Wall Street a couple weeks ago, the confu-sion was understandable.

Jay “I ain’t a businessman, I’m a business, man”-Z may wear more gold chains and listen to better music than the barons of Wall Street, but let’s not kid ourselves. He’s sold more than 50 million records, was the (mostly) undisputed best rapper alive for the better part of a decade, bumps elbows with Warren Buffett on private jets, gives massive contributions to pres-idential campaigns, was president of a major record label, and has an estimated net worth of about $500 million.

Jay-Z is the 1 percent.But that doesn’t mean he can’t

cash-in on the 99 percent. His multi-million dollar corpo-

rate clothing company Rocawear started selling “Occupy [W]All Streets” T-shirts, and keeping all the money, in a move so ironic Che Guevara T-shirts are officially no longer ironic.

As quite a few journalists, sociolo-gists, bloggers, occupiers and people who spend too much time thinking about blogs, occupations and Jay-Z have pointed out, the Occupy move-ment doesn’t inherently have a problem with rich people.

Americans love rich people. We love it when some farm boy with not a scrap to his name (or some street hustler scraping by in Brooklyn) puts

in plenty of hard, honest work and becomes the owner of a thriving business (or makes a lot of money rapping, whatever). You work hard, you play fair, you give a little back, go ahead and be a millionaire.

What Americans shouldn’t love is the elite cadre of insanely rich who knowingly tanked the economy and put honest, hardworking people out of jobs so they could make a quick buck.

Shawn Carter should be ashamed of himself. I know he said you “Can’t Knock The Hustle” but everyone wearing Rocawear needs to “Change Clothes.” I know this is just “Politics As Usual” but I guess I naively hold on to this hope that people whose music I enjoy won’t go and co-opt an ideal-istic movement to make “Mo’ Money” they really, really don’t need.

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
