With this weekend’s first UNT foot-ball home game in mind, Denton offi-cials are taking measures to be sure that neighborhoods surrounding UNT’s new Apogee Stadium don’t become a new tailgating spot.

Ordinance No. 2011-138 was passed and approved by Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs Aug. 16 to ensure the safety of Denia neighborhood residents. The neighborhood, which borders Apogee Stadium, was thought by some of its residents to be at risk for game-time traffic.

“We do have some traffic concerns,” said Denia neighborhood resident Bruce

Chamberlain. “Bonnie Brae is such a skinny road, so we’re willing to go along with this plan.”

The ordinance, which can be viewed at cityofdenton.com, will restrict street parking in the neighborhood during stadium event times.

Signs indicating times of enforce-ment will be put up about two hours before stadium events, said Emerson Vorel, director of parks and recreation for the city of Denton.

Anyone parked along the street during an event must visibly display a resident or guest permit in his or her vehicle.

“It’s been formulating for severa l months now while we talked with the city and with residents,” Vorel said.

“This seemed to be the best answer.” Denia residents have been notified

of this change, and now it’s up to event attendees to use caution when choosing a place to park.

“I don’t know that we’re really antici-pating [extra ticketing] because we have sent out notification to residents, so I think most people know about it,” said Denton deputy officer Renz.

Because times of enforcement will vary depending on the event, residents and v isitors of the Denia neighbor-hood should be vigilant when parking and plan ahead for large events, Vorel said.

About 50 Denton residents attended the Denton City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to give their input regarding the city’s proposed 2011-2012 budget plan, where the conversation quickly turned to the implementation of a new bike plan.

A diverse group that included cyclists, college students, children and an elderly woman who said she rode her bike 10 miles, voiced their support for the city’s bike plan. Mayor Mark Burroughs read from the comment cards of other Denton residents who said they wanted the city’s surplus money to go toward the bike plan.

Devin Taylor, a cyclist and supporter of the bike plan who drew a raucous round of applause after his brief presentation on the plan, suggested the city spend $232,295 of its current surplus to add 20 miles of bike lanes in the next year.

“This is a start,” Taylor said. “If we build a mile a year, we’ll never catch up, but if we build 10 a year we’ll get there.”

The city’s budget includes a $333,676 surplus for city council initiatives. The surplus was initially estimated at $192,000, but went up because of an increase in the city’s projected sales tax revenue.

WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS

Four people have been killed and more than 1,000 homes destroyed as fast-moving central Texas wildfires raged Tuesday, the third day of one of the most devastating wildfire outbreaks in Texas history.

Severe drought conditions have contributed to the outbreak of about 180 separate fires across the state in the past week, the most severe of which

continued to blaze Tuesday outside the town of Bastrop, 30 miles southwest of Austin. The fire has claimed more than 600 homes and forced the evacuation of several thousand mostly rural resi-dents.

Governor Rick Perry cut short a campaign trip to South Carolina on Monday to oversee the disaster response. In what Perry has called the “worst Texas fire season ever,” wildfires have burned more than

3.6 million acres, and Perry has issued disaster proclamations nine times since December.

About 1,200 firefighters from local departments and across the country are battling the Texas f lames, and more are expected to arrive in the coming days.

After less than two months of service, Denton County Transportation Authority’s A-train seems to have hit its stride during UNT’s first week of classes.

Ridership spiked from about 1,100 riders per day before school started to 1,500 last week when hundreds of commuting students between Dallas and Denton used the rail line to travel to and from campus for their first week of classes.

“We’re now carrying 1,400 to 1,500 passengers on the trains and another 17,000 on shuttles,” said Dee Leggett, vice president of communications for DCTA. “The trains have been full and we can safely assume that it’s been because of students.”

The A-train is a regional rail line that connects Denton to Dallas via DART lines in Carrollton. It follows parallel to Interstate Highway 35E, making stops in Dallas, Denton and Lewisville. The cost of a monthly regional pass is $120.

The peak hours of ridership are in the mornings around 7-9 a.m. during the week when

both college students and work commuters fill the trains to their maximum capacity to reach their destinations.

While the trains have many shuttles in the morning and evening, some students are unhappy with the lack of multiple mid-day shuttles for commuters who are done with classes early or who have after-noon classes. No northbound

trains run between 8:36 a.m. and 3:06 p.m., and southbound trains are not in service between 8:51 a.m. and 3:19 p.m.

“I currently cannot ride the train due to the hours,” commu-nications junior Delori Brittain said. “I would make it to UNT without difficulty. The issue is that they don’t start running again until three, so I’d be waiting two hours for the train.”

DCTA says it will develop a survey to collect information about travel needs of the riders. Until then, riders will have to work their schedules around the A-train.

“I understand DCTA is recouping the cost of the train,” Brittain said. “But the bus running once an hour is not an adequate solution in my eyes.”

DCTA spends $8.2 million

a year to operate the A-train system. With the increase in ridership in the past few weeks, the revenue from the project is expected to increase as well.

“Although we don’t make profits off of the trains because they’re a public service, we do expect to make up 15 percent of the total cost in revenue,” Leggett said.

As of now, DCTA is leasing

trains from DART to use for the A-train system.

Permanent trains are being imported from Switzerland through the Gulf of Mexico and shipped up to Denton.

“Two trains have already arrived and another is set to arrive today,” Leggett said. “But because we have to run tests on the trains, they won’t be running until spring.”

“Hopef u l ly [residents] wou ld spea k w it h t hei r neig hbor s a nd d i s c u s s possibly using some of their guest permits,” Vorel said. “Worst case scenario, they could park at a resi-dential center like the Denia Recreat ion Center a nd carpool to the house.”

Parking along the street du r i ng a n ord i n a nc e -enforced time without a proper permit may result in a fine of no more than $500 and possible towing, according to the ordinance.

Though the new ordinance may take some adjusting for neighborhood residents and stadium event enthusiasts alike, Vorel said he thinks it is a necessary plan of action.

“Any plan that we come up with will not make 100

percent of t he popu la-t ion happy,” Vorel said. “[Residents] can certainly always talk to the city manag-er’s office or can speak to the police department about any problems.”

R e s i d e nt a n d g u e s t permits can be purchased at the Denia Recreational Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Resident permits and guest passes (good for one year) cost $5 each, and additional temporary guest passes (good for one day) can be purchased by residents for $2 each.

The Mean Green’s first game in Apogee Stadium will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday and information on available parking areas can be found at meangreensports.com.

SGA President Blake Windham discusses Friday UNT Pride Day at the city coun-cil meeting on Tuesday.

Chief of Police Paul Abbott and � re chief Ross Chadwick are represented with national moment of remembrance of the 10th anniversary of September 11 at the city council meeting on Tuesday.

An ordinance passed by the City of Denton on Aug. 16 will restrict street parking surrounding UNT’s Apogee Stadium, and will help residents con-trol game time tra� c and tailgating. The Mean Green’s � rst home game will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday.

At a prev iou s cou nci l meeting on Aug. 16, members discussed putting the surplus money toward street main-tenance, additional traff ic signals, DCTA shuttle oper-ating costs or the implemen-tation of a city bike plan.

Residents had concerns that current bike lanes were currently unsafe, and imple-menting the bike plan would be beneficial to the environ-ment, traffic f low in the city and neighborhood improve-ment.

In November of last year, the city paid bike consultant and transportation planner Kev in St. Jacques $ 69,564 to develop a bike plan that would expand and improve on Denton’s bike lanes.

The plan provides for 100 additional miles of bike lanes at a cost of about $25,000 a mile.

Jerem ia h Tr i n idad, a n employee of Denton Pedicab, said he was glad so many people had show n up to support the bike plan, and hoped t he counci l wou ld implement it.

“I just want them to set up a system where we can ride safely and clean up traffic,” Trinidad said.

The council also voted 7-0 to approve a zoning change a l l o w i n g t h e M i d t o w n Apartments, finished in late July and located near Carroll Boulevard and Hickory Street, to construct an additional 40 rooms, or 150 beds.

The meeting opened with the Denton Fire Department Honor Guard’s post ing of c olor s to c om memor ate the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

Burroughs honored gath-

ered members of the Denton police and fire departments and proclaimed a minute of silence to take place at noon on Sunday.

“Disasters don’t happen every day, but every day disas-ters are diverted because of the service of these folks,” Burroughs said.

U N T P r o v o s t Wa r r e n B u r g g r e n a n d S t u d e n t G over n ment A ssoc iat ion President Bla ke Windham presented the city council with Mean Green T-shirts, and Mayor Burroughs proclaimed every Friday for the next year to be UNT Pride Day.

The council will vote on the allocation of the surplus money and the finalization of the 2010-2011 budget during its Sept. 20 meeting.

Brand initiative looks to enhance degree programs, UNT image

MELISSA RATLEYStaff Writer

To coincide with UNT’s first football game at the new Apogee Stadium, the univer-sity began putting up the stadium’s logo Tuesday. This is only one step in UNT’s new branding initiative.

UNT is spending $224,250 on hiring marketing compa-nies to improve UNT’s image and promote the athletics program.

“The bottom line for all of this is to increase the value of ever y UNT degree by continuing to improve the university’s reputation,” said Kelly Reese, the assistant vice president of university rela-tions.

Reese said most of the marketing is done in-house, but it is typical for universi-ties to use outside services to

reshape their image.

Athletic imagePublic relations firm Weber

Shandwick in New York was paid $30,000 to showcase UNT athletics locally and nation-wide to the media.

Oklahoma-based Old Hat Creative was paid $20,000 to develop the new stadium logo for the inaugural season, as well as print, video and ticket designs.

Eric Capper, senior asso-ciate athletic director, said t h e y e v a l u a t e d s e v e r a l different companies to find the right fit for the univer-sity.

“All three companies have done a great job in promoting our university,” Capper said. “We know there is an added excitement and an added buzz. We couldn’t have done any of this without the hard work of these companies.”

Academic imageAccording to a branding

initiative report released by the university in February of this year, UNT “has not engaged in an overhaul of its branding platform in recent years.”

The report also states that UNT is making an effort to separate itself from other universities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to create national awareness of its emerging Tier One research status.

Su l l iva nPerk ins, wh ich UNT hired for one year’s services, will receive $140,000 to develop, launch and imple-ment a fresh image of the university.

If you’ve recently spotted a scraggly bird, squirrel or possum around campus, you’re not alone. In response to dry weather and the summer’s heat, many of the campus’ and city’s critters are making their way into public places in desperate attempts to find food and water.

“Of course with the drought, water sources are drying out,” said Kerry Payne, owner of North Texas Animal Control. “They [wildlife creatures] are depending on things such as swimming pools.”

Animals can be dangerous if

they feel threatened, particu-larly snakes, which Payne said have shown up in conspicuous places this year.

Copperheads and water snakes have been more prominent this year compared to past years because of the drought, Payne said. The snakes have been found near houses in search of shade and water.

Last Wednesday afternoon, Tommy Jones, the safety services officer for UNT Risk Management and Emergency Services, received a phone call about a possum wandering outside the General Academic Building.

Possums are normally

nocturnal to avoid being eaten by their predators, but they’ve been in plain sight on campus on numerous occasions because they’ve lost their way, Jones said.

Squirrels are suffering from kidney failure, other mammals are unable to feed their young and birds are leaving their babies behind to migrate, said Diana Leggett, an expert in cottontails and jackrabbits.

Leggett also said there is a severe shortage of pecans and apricots for squirrels, so by the time winter comes around, there won’t be much of a food supply left.

In the past five years, the One O’Clock Lab Band has produced five albums, toured Europe and filled dozens of concert halls throughout the U.S., but despite its continued popularity, the band performs a concert each fall in the University Union Syndicate that sets the tone for the rest of the semester.

At the first bar of tonight’s 9 p.m. performance, 16 of the band’s 19 performers will make their debut with the group. One of the three returning performers, lead trombone Kevin Hicks, said the small-venue atmosphere would allow for a good assessment of this year’s band.

“It’s sort of a test for us,” the jazz studies graduate student said. “It’s a chance for you to see if you can play all this crazy music we play.”

Compared to other venues the band plays, such as the Murchison Performing Arts Center, the Syndicate is an inti-mate space for the band, which has garnered six Grammy nomi-nations in its history.

“It’s a much more up-close and personal concert,” Hicks said. “It’s a more intimate setting and people will have a chance to meet the band.”

Steve Wiest, the band’s director, said tonight’s perfor-mance will feature some of the classics associated with the band such as “Ice-Nine,” compositions from Thad Jones and pieces by UNT students.

“Don’t Tell My Wife I’m A Cult Leader” is a locally made cartoon created by former UNT students Matt Rox (left) and Todd Steinberg (right). They held a question and answer session after the world premiere at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Kessler Theater in Dallas.

Former students premiere animated comedy in Dallas DAISY SILOSStaff Writer

More than 300 people filled the seats of the Kessler Theater in Dallas on Saturday to see the premiere of “Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader,” a comedy cartoon created by two former UNT students.

Todd Steinberg and Matt Rox created the animated sitcom, which is set in the fictional Texas town of Renton and features bookstore clerk Floyd Landers, who forms a cult to cure his boredom.

Though the duo has not made a deal to expand the show on any network, they have planned several episodes in case they receive offers.

In the pilot episode shown at the premiere, Landers recruits four friends to join his cult, which he keeps secret from his wife.

Steinberg said he’s been fasci-nated by cults and wonders how their minds work.

“I thought about how Charles Manson was, and it sparked my imagination thinking, ‘what if there was a cult so secret that even the leader’s wife didn’t know about it?’”he said.

Originally, the show didn’t start out as a cartoon, Steinberg said.

“A friend of mine suggested it would be better as a cartoon and sure enough, he was right,” he said.

The only problem with the idea of turning the story into a cartoon was that Steinberg is not an animator, so he asked Matt Rox to help. Rox told him he wasn’t interested, but Steinberg persisted.

“After constant nagging and offering to buy him pizza, he came on board,” he said.

With Rox in the mix, the two worked together and the charac-ters began to evolve. For example, Rox and the fictional Landers both work in bookstores, and the town, Renton, is eerily similar to Denton, where the two attended college.

“Todd would give me his ideas of what he wanted the charac-ters to look like and from the sketches we’d work on creating their personalities,” Rox said.

Kevin C. Carr, the voice of Floyd Landers, said the bizarre name got him interested in the project.

“When Todd approached me with his idea of ‘Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader,’ I thought, ‘what a strange name, it sounds a lot better than American Dad,’” he said.

“He offered me the lead char-

acter, Floyd, who has a bunch of followers and is just trying to find an outlet from his ordinary mundane life,” Carr said.

In addition to voicing Floyd, Carr also plays two other char-acters in the show, Max and

Rawly.Carr said he’s that in his 25

years in the business, he had never seen anyone as dedicated as Steinberg and Rox.

“They made a fantastic script with some amazing animation;

Once he finds the critter, he sets up a wire cage known as a l ive trap to catch it. Depending on which critter it is, a different type of bait is

used to lure it in.“The only thing we don’t

mess with is skunks,” Jones said. “We call [Denton] Animal Control for that.”

Payne said he places a can of cat food inside to attract r ac c oon s a nd pos su m s ; p e a n u t b u t t e r- c o v e r e d crackers topped with t iny nut pieces for squirrels; and raw eggs or marshmallows for raccoons. Since armadillos are

80 percent blind, they inad-vertently walk into the trap, making it easier to catch them without any bait.

After they’re caught, the creatures are released into the woods.

“We got some propert y north of Denton at a park we own where an old missile base used to be,” Jones said. “If they’re sick, we take them to Denton Animal Services.”

are excited, on edge, and ready to go,” Wiest said.

At $5, the concert is also less expensive than many of the band’s shows.

It’s a great opportunity for those who have not heard much about the band to check it out, Hicks said.

“It’s a chance for them to see it and say, ‘oh, so that’s what it’s

like,’” he said. “It’s a great way for them to experience it.”

Joel Morales, a post-bacca-laureate student, has seen the band perform in the Syndicate before.

“It was like being in an actual jazz lounge,” he said. “I felt like I was seeing a real jazz perfor-mance for the first time.”

Guests will also have an oppor-tunity to purchase the band’s latest CD and DVD, “Lab 2011.”

“We always have a super intel-ligent home crowd,” Wiest said. “They are savvy about the One O’ Clock and about jazz in general. It’s our favorite audience to play for.”

“People will have a chance to meet the band.”

these guys create comedic art,” he said.

Steinberg said he and Rox have several ideas for episodes if the show gets picked up.

“This isn’t a hobby,” he said. “There was a lot of time and money put into this and we’ve planned what the next step is for each of these characters.”

Sina Sabet, who watched the premiere, said he thinks the show conveys messages in a humorous way.

“It’s about a guy who manip-ulates four people,” he said. “It’s reflecting what sometimes happens in society with people just trying to fit in.”

Carr said he has high hopes for the show and believes it will be successful.

“The Kessler Theater is only the beginning,” he said. “I know this isn’t where it’s going to end up; this is going somewhere.”

Steinberg said there will be a second showing of the pilot for “Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader” at the 24th annual Dallas Video Festival from Sept. 21 to 25. For more information about the show, check out http://dont-tell.my/wife/.

After scoring five goals in UNT’s last three games, UNT women’s soccer senior forward Nikki Crocco was recognized by the Sun Belt, earning the conference’s Women’s Soccer Player of the Week Tuesday.

It is the first time Crocco has received the honor.

“I’m really happy right now,” Crocco said shortly after receiving the news. “I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock still.”

Crocco began her assault on UNT opponents Aug. 28 against Grambling, where she notched her first career hat trick in an 11-0 UNT win. Crocco scored her three goals in a span lasting less than four minutes.

We’re only f ive games into the season, but there’s plenty of reason for the women’s soccer team to feel prett y good about itself.

For ju st t he second time in program history, the team is undefeated (4-0-1) this deep into the year and is coming off a win over SMU, which head coach John Hedlund called UNT’s biggest rival.

However, it’s the 6-foot-1-inch force in goal who’s making the most waves for the Mean Green this season.

Freshman goalie Jackie Kerestine was tasked with replaci ng for mer U N T goalie Mandy Hall, who graduated last season as the school’s all-time leader in shutouts and saves.

It’s safe to say Kerestine is off to a fantastic start.

Lewis’ Last Call:Freshman thrives

Opinion

seems takes on a different lo ok a nd at t i t ude w it h Kerestine patrolling the goal, with some UNT players even using the word “intimida-tion” to describe the effect the freshman has on other teams.

That’s not hard to under-stand, considering Kerestine is the tallest soccer player in the Sun Belt Conference, but it’s a bit odd since she’s only a freshman who’s yet to play a conference opponent.

In that sense, it can be diffi-cult to remember Kerestine is just in her first year. As of Tuesday, she was third in the entire conference in goals against average and second in save percentage.

At t he sa me t ime, f ive games is a small sample size. And again – I can’t stress this enough – she’s a freshman. She gets just as nervous as the other six freshmen on the team and she’s going to make freshman mistakes.

I don’t wa nt to decla re her Queen of the Universe or any thing l ike that, but she’s rea l ly, rea l ly good. She’ll have a couple of big tests this weekend against a tough Sam Houston team and big boy school Baylor, but she’s gotten better with every game, which should “intimi-date” every other team in the Sun Belt.

Sun Belt Conference and TV network extend partnership

A minimum of two football games will be broadcasted • on ESPN or ESPN2 every season.

At least five Thursday or Friday night football games will • be shown on ESPNU every year.

A minimum of four regular season appearances by Sun • Belt men’s basketball teams will be annually shown on ESPN or ESPN 2.

ESPN will continue airing the Sun Belt Conference men’s • basketball tournament final.

ESPN3.com now has the right to exclusively produce and • distribute games of the network’s choosing.

What the deal meansBrief conference on a weekly basis throughout the year.”

ESPN and the Sun Belt’s dealings began in 1979, when the Sun Belt became the first conference to sign a long-term contract with the all-sports network.

Since then, each Sun Belt men’s basketball champion-ship game has been televised live on ESPN, making it the longest relationship between ESPN and a collegiate sports conference.

“The Sun Belt Conference’s relat ionship w ith ESPN is strong, as the particulars of this agreement clearly show,” Sun Belt Commissioner Wright Waters said in a press release. “Our league benefits greatly

from the exposure that ESPN provides and this new agree-ment will give us a greater

opportunity to showcase our outstanding institutions and student-athletes.”

Teams show interest in Pac-12ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott is willing to listen if Ok la homa or anyone else wa nts to join his confer-ence.

Spea k i ng before No. 3 Oregon played No. 4 LSU at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday night, Scott acknowledged that “schools have reached out to us.”

He said that the courtship is different from last year, when the league was looking for expansion candidates. He repeatedly said the confer-ence was not doing anything to seek new members.

“Any suggestion whatso-ever that our conference is being predatory, that’s just wrong,” Scott said. “We have not had ex pa nsion as a n initiative, as an agenda for us at all.”

Scott added that he had to listen to pitches from inter-ested schools to evaluate what might be in the best interest of the Pac-12 members.

Universit y of Ok la homa president David Boren said Friday that multiple confer-ences have shown interest in the Sooners recently and he expects to decide whether to

leave the Big 12 or not within the next three weeks, if not sooner.

Before Texas and Oklahoma dec ided la st su m mer to remain in the Big 12, there had been interest from the t hen-Pac-10 about t hem moving West. That included Oklahoma State and Texas Tech as potentially part of a 16-team league.

“For me, expansion was always very much a strategic issue leading up to the fact that we were in TV negotia-tions,” Scott said. “I felt at the time that we needed to get to 12 (members), to have a foot-ball championship game, to be of equivalent size to some of our peer conferences.”

Tex a s A& M a n nou nced this week that it is leaving t he 10 -tea m Big 12 a nd applying for membership in another conference, l ikely the Southeastern Conference as early as next week.

Part of the reason Texas remained in the Big 12 was the opportunity for its own television network. Texas and ESPN recently launched the Longhorn Network, a $300 million, 20-year deal.

New Fiesta Bowl execu-

tive director Robert Shelton said he has concerns about con ferences g row i ng too large.

“At this point, I’m not a fan of the megaconference,”

Shelton said. “Not because I think it’s the death of college football, but I think it just on the whole brings more prob-lems that have to be sorted out from benefits.”

Robert Gates deserves respect

Coach: Show support at Apogee openerAn open letter to UNT

students from head foot-ball coach Dan McCarney:

This Saturday w i l l be a historical and monumental day for t he Un iversit y of North Texas and the Mean Green football program. With the opening of the state-of-the-art Apogee Stadium, we are beginning a new era at UNT. Along with my coaching staff and every member of this football team, we will work tirelessly to make this new era one that you can be proud of.

College football is special because of the environment that is created by the students on campus. It all begins and ends with the students. We represent you every time that we step onto the f ield and we take that responsibility seriously.

I have made it a mission of mine to interact with as ma ny students as I could since I came to UNT nine months ago. I have spoken to countless groups, addressed ever y incoming f reshma n orientation class and been a l l over ca mpus meet i ng and greeting you. I under-stand the importance of your potential impact on success for this football team and we can’t do it without your support.

We need your help to make this week special. We only get one chance to open a new stadium and we need you to be a part of it. It all begins with the pep rally on Friday night. I am bringing my entire team so they ALL can see how exited you are for this game.

On Sat u rday when t he team arrives and makes the

Mean Green March down the hill to the stadium, we want be enveloped in a sea of green and white.

Finally at 6 p.m. when we face off against a very good Houston team, we want to play in front of the largest crowd to ever see a UNT foot-ball game in Denton. YOU can make the difference!

It is t he st udent s who create the fervor and passion that can only be found at college football games.

I have challenged this foot-ball team to play at a level of intensity that will make you proud, and I would like to challenge you to create an environment that will be equally satisfying for them to play in.

I am honored to be t he head football coach at UNT and I can’t thank all of you enoug h for t he words of

welcome that I have received since my arrival. Together, with your help, we will build t his program into a point of pride for the entire UNT family!

Go Mean Green!

Dan McCarney is the head coach of the UNT football team. He can be contacted at 940-565-3653.

The Distinguished Lecture Series is comprised of students, faculty and staff who work together w ith the mission of introducing the univer-sity, students and community members to the excellence of world-class speakers in hopes of exposing people to various personalities and interests.

Past lecturers through the series include Bill Nye, Cornel West, Sherman Alexie, Vicente Fox and former President George W. Bush.

This evening, UNT will host former Secretary of Defense Dr. Robert M. Gates for a lecture followed by a period of question and answer from audience members.

The event is just one of many this week dedicated to remembering t he 10t h anniversary of the terrible attacks on September 11, 2001 that affected the future

of our nation. In addition, students have the opportunity to attend roundtable discus-sions regarding foreign and domestic policy, write letters to US military personnel and attend a memorial service at the Library Mall.

I am extremely proud to be serving on the committee that selected Robert Gates as our keynote speaker as part of a week of events commemo-rating that fateful day.

He is an honorable public ser vant whose career has spanned that of eight pres-idents, beginning with his service in the CIA starting in 1966.

Robert Gates was commis-sioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force, previously the director of the CIA and now chancellor of the College of William and Mary.

At one point, Dr. Gates, who is a scholar in US-Russian rela-tions, left his post as president of Texas A&M University to serve as secretary of defense under President George W. Bush.

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he asked Secretary Gates to continue serving. This was the f irst time in United States history that a newly elected president asked a secretary of defense to continue serving between two administrations. When Gates left his post in 2011, President Obama surprised him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his nonpartisan service to his country.

I think Gates should be commended for his service and it is an honor that he has agreed to speak at UNT tonight. I wholehea rtedly believe those who attend will

be blessed by the remarks of t his honorable ma n. I encourage each student to consider attending this event because I believe each of us can learn something valu-able.

Nods and ShakesNod: City passes no-parking ordinance

for neighborhoods near stadium

Nod: UNT’s green efforts expand

Shake: Delivery driver threatens cyclists

As the first game of the season approaches rapidly, the resi-dents of Denia and Laurel Hill Additions neighborhoods have no reason to worry.

After months of discussion, the city and the police depart-ment worked together to prevent college football fans from turning the neighborhoods into a parking lot.

In August, the Denton City Council passed an ordinance barring the parking on the streets in the neighborhoods during football games and special events held at Apogee Stadium.

If residents wish to park on the streets during special events or football games, they must obtain a $5 permit from the city.

With parking passes at Apogee Stadium running $20 a pop and the lack of parking spaces available, it’s no wonder some Denton residents were wary people would take advantage of the opportunity for free curbside parking.

The Editorial Board nods the Denton City Council for listening to its residents and fixing a potential problem before it spiraled out of control.

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) —One in 20 people drinks the equivalent of more than four cans of soda each day, even though health officials say sweetened beverages should be limited to less than half a can.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the figures Wednesday in a report said to be the government’s first to offer national statistics for both adults and kids.

The new CDC report found about half the population drinks a sugared beverage each day. Males consume more than females, with teenage boys leading the pack.

On average, males ages 12 through 19 drink the equiv-alent of nearly two cans of soda each day.

Healthy-eating recommendations call for people to limit sugary beverages to about 64 calories per day. That’s a little less than half of a 12-ounce can of regular Coca-Cola, which is 140 calories.

In other terms: An average can of sugared soda or juice has 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar.

Fact CheckHalf of Americans drink soda,

sweetened beverages daily

Last week local resident and delivery driver Gregory Ryan Butler sent out a Facebook invite proclaiming Denton’s first annual “Kill a bicycle hipster day.”

To be fair, Butler’s list of targets didn’t extend just to hipsters.

It seemed Butler had a bone to pick with everyone from freshmen to seniors to international students.

Butler hoped for a day of running cyclists over as a way to teach them a lesson for violating traffic laws.

“Wear a helmet and get a light for your bicycle,” Butler wrote. “or I’m going to turn you and your hip fixed-gear into a bloody mess of human entrails and aluminum framing. Then I’m going to throw my car into reverse and finish the job.”

The event was soon removed from Facebook, but it didn’t go unnoticed.

In the time that the event was up, 34 people confirmed they were attending it.

Bike Denton weighed in on the event via Twitter, “I’m shocked that people are debating light and helmet use with a mass death threat at hand. Isn’t that like negotiating with terrorists?”

A concerned patron took the issue to the police department via Twitter. The official Twitter account for the Denton police department responded, “This was all a joke… a sick joke and the person that started this site has removed it.”

Even if Butler created the event for a few laughs between buddies who have a twisted sense of humor, it is still inexcus-able to use the Internet as a forum for criminal threats and expect everyone to take it as a joke.

Within the last few weeks, UNT has made great strides toward becoming a more sustainable campus by updating existing buildings to make them more environmentally friendly.

On Friday, UNT unveiled a turbine and wind panel at the Environmental Education, Science and Technology building.

UNT was awarded a wind energy grant in Aug. 2010 from the State’s Energy Conservation Office (SECO) for extensive research that the sustainability office conducted on the potential educational and environmental effects of wind turbines.

The $2 million grant helped fund the construction of the wind turbines and solar panels.

Nearly a year later, the money awarded by the SECO is helping the sustainability office bring its projects to life and improve the UNT campus.

The Editorial Board nods the UNT Office of Sustainability for its commitment to advancing the university in its mission to be a green campus.

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
