Field day kicks off homecoming week KatY Roden Editor-in-Chief kroden@smu.edu Homecoming participants competed in Field Day yesterday to begin the 2013 Homecoming week. Teams, which included each organization’s king and queen candidates, faced off in a variety of relay races including human wheelbarrows and speedwalking.

Alpha Chi Omega and Lambda Chi Alpha finished in first place in the field games.

“I’m glad we were all able to come together and pull out a victory for Lambda Chi and Alpha Chi Omega,” said Christopher Wheelis, Lambda’s homecoming king nominee.

Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi took second place and The Union finished third. Homecoming festivities continue throughout the week including a Spirit Rally tonight at 5:30 p.m. and Rock the Vote at 6 p.m. at Westcott Field.

Homecoming results will be announced at halftime of the SMU vs. Temple game Saturday.

Students Rock the Vote Emily Sims News Writer esims@smu.edu Homecoming week continues today with Rock the Vote. Rock the Vote provides all organizations participating in homecoming with the opportunity to cheer on

their candidates and get into the homecoming spirit. Each candidate will be asked a set of questions that will help students get to know them.

Ali Hopkins is this year’s Rock the Vote chair and is excited to announce the changes made to this year’s event.

“We’ve been working really

hard to revamp Rock the Vote this year, and we’ve added two new performances: a stroll by NPHC steppers and a short performance by the Mustang Band, including the Fourth Quarter Shuffle,” she said.

“We have also added a completely new Spirit Rally at 5:30 p.m. for all participating residence

halls to attend. Our returning emcee for both rallies will be Michael Pittman, who is probably one of the funniest people on campus. We have a few other surprises planned that won’t be revealed until Rock the Vote.”

The event begins at 6 p.m. at Westcott Field.

HOMECOMING CANDIDATES Editor’s note: The 24 Homecoming King and Queen candidates will be featured in groups of eight in today’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s editions. Online voting at smu.edu/elections begins today at 8 a.m. and runs 24 hours a day until Friday at noon. Winners will be announced at halftime of Saturday’s football game.

Editors’ note: In August 2014 SMU will debut the Residential Commons on-campus living model.

Eleven Faculty-inResidence were selected to live among students. This is part seven of 11 FiR profiles.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, SMU first-year students will pioneer the newest residential life program developing on campus: an integrated community with 11 Faculty-in-Residence who will live alongside students for their first two years of college.

Robert Krout, director of the Music Therapy Program at SMU, was one of the first announced faculty members of the new initiative.

“I was excited when...

[SMU was] first talking about [the faculty-in-residence]... because I’ve always felt the SMU campus offers so many wonderful opportunities that students and faculty didn’t take advantage of,” Krout said.

A significant proponent of the program, Krout explained that one of his hopes is to “interact with students to help them take advantage” of the events, lectures, exhibits and social programs offered both on campus and around Dallas. By offering a variety of activities and resources for students, Krout aims to “involve students with different goals [and] desires” studying at SMU.

“My main goal in our residential community [is that it] has multiple opportunities to engage with the SMU campus... on a number of different levels so there’s no one who feels...like they’re not included,” Krout said.

“If it looks like there are students who are not being engaged, I can make sure there is something that interests them.”

Krout is already planning “a number of programs both formal and informal” that will acquaint students with the University and the city of Dallas, as well as the faculty themselves as resources for students to take full advantage of.

“There are just so many things going on and it’s an amazing experience,” Krout said. “We will be building community on a floor-by-floor and student-bystudent basis within the residence hall community.”

Creating the engaged community Krout said will allow the university to “involve students in the SMU experience on a much deeper and meaningful level.”

Having live-in faculty from a range of academic departments and specializations will foster the all-around growth of the student on a personal and academic level.

“The main opportunity is being a hands-on integral part of the Residential Commons and the legs of the students on a daily basis,” Krout said.

As one of the selected faculty members, Krout said the work already has been “wonderfully rewarding.”

“I feel really fortunate to be a part of it,” Krout said. “I don’t regret how busy I am. I am loving every minute of it.”

Cryosaunas produce benefits faster than ice baths Samantha Peliter Health & Fitness Editor speltier@smu.edu In the past, one of the only ways to relieve overall soreness after a tough and grueling workout was to take a brave dip into a freezing ice bath for about ten minutes.

The days of forcing oneself into a cold bath might be over.

Cryosaunas are high-tech machines that use liquid nitrogen gas to cool down the blood.

This cryotherapy technique may seem more appealing to both the average person and athletes, because unlike cold baths, a trip in the cryosauna generally takes

about three minutes.

“This isn’t doing anything different than what an icepack or an ice bath would do. It’s just the way it does it is so much more efficient,” owner of The Phit Studio on Greenville Avenue Kelly Phipps said.

The possible health benefits from a session at a cryosauna might seem enticing. The Phit Studio boasts on its website that cryotherapy will increase performance, decrease muscle soreness, provide antiinflammatory and pain relieving benefits, burn up to 600 calories a session, detoxify the body, strengthen the immune system, reduce stress and fatigue and

Woman undergoes cryosauna session to relieve soreness and fatigue

improve energy levels.

“I had really bad joints, knees, ankles, back, everything and it was really bothering me. I have been doing this for about two months now and it has helped a whole lot,” 28-year-old former collegiate cheerleader Lindsey Patterson said.

How does one machine provide all of these benefits? For Phipps it’s simple to explain.

Cryotherapy, which includes both ice baths and cryosaunas, makes the skin temperature drop so fast that it thinks it’s hypothermic.

The blood then drains out of the body’s extremities and into its‘ core. This nutrifies and oxidizes the blood which is then released back into the body.

“If you have healthy blood then that makes everything healthy.

Your nails are going to be better, your skin is going to be better, your headaches, injuries, everything is going to be better,” Phipps said.

One aspect of cryotherapy that might entice college students that are over 21 years of age is that it can cure a hangover. Phipps said that cryotherapy detoxifies everything when the blood is released back into the body.

The reason a session in a cryosauna only takes three minutes as opposed to a 10 minute cold bath is because of the liquid nitrogen.

The machine converts this

into a gas that has temperatures varying from negative 220 to negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

This may seem extremely cold and unbearable, but Phipps said that once you get to about two and a half to three minutes into the session and begin feeling extremely cold, the session is over.

“It [would be] bad if you were in there for probably 10 or 15 minutes, but three minutes is really beneficial,” Phipps said.

These subzero temperatures might seem frightening to some people, but at The Phit Studio Phipps said that he is always in the room with his clients so if they feel uncomfortable he can help them out of the machine.

Phipps did confess that a few of his clients have passed out from breathing in the liquid nitrogen, but he said that this is a rarity and they soon wake up.

Some might look at the tightly packed machine and have a quick spout of claustrophobia. But one thing that might be good to know is that the head is always outside of the machine so clients can talk to Phipps if they start to feel nervous.

The door to the cryosauna is also quite easy to open because of the magnets that hold the door in place.

The Phit Studio also provides an option to contrast the cryosauna with a Infrared Jade Sauna, or heat.

The infrared sauna on its own provides both detoxification and relaxation. This is because of how infrared light penetrates human tissue.

It then produces benefits such as lower blood pressure, anti-aging and skin purification, increased cell health, weight loss, pain relief, improved circulation and wound healing.

But when cryosaunas and infrared saunas are used in contrast they produce the same benefits as contrasting between a

hot and cold bath.

Research suggests that contrasting hot and cold creates a pumping motion in the body’s muscles which reduces swelling.

This is key when treating athletic injuries.

Trained professionals like Phipps are great in understanding what specific therapies need to be done to make the body perform at its’ optimum rate.

Jonny Craig performs at Trees, talks tour michelle hammond Associate A&E Editor mhammondtova@smu.edu Dallas’ Deep Ellum is often stereotyped as the “hipster” part of the city.

Some might even say it’s Dallas’ own little piece of Austin, Texas.

On Thursday Oct. 17, no place held truer to the stereotype than the small music venue on Elm Street known as Trees.

At 7 p.m. a crowd of beanies, piercings, all black ensembles and sneakers gathered in excitement for a performance by Jonny Craig on his much anticipated “The Souls on Fire” tour.

“It just seemed like a good option to try something new and just restart all over,”

Craig said in a serious, almost monotonous voice.

He’s holding a cold beer as he leans back into a black leather couch.

His attention shifts from conversation to whatever is playing on the medium-sized television in front of him.

Craig started his music career in 2005 singing for Dance Gavin Dance, a progressive rock band that began in Sacramento, Calif.

After having constant conflicts with his band members Craig was kicked out in late 2007.

By this time, it was a known fact that Craig had serious issues with drug abuse.

Still, two weeks after leaving Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa took Craig as its lead singer.

Once again, quarrels with his band members along with his reluctance to stay sober resulted in him leaving after only three years.

He tried to work things out with Dance Gavin Dance in 2012, but by August of the same year the band announced its attempted reunion had been unsuccessful.

Craig finally decided to go solo and is believed to be sober since.

“I like what I’m doing right now and I like where I’m at,” Craig said.

Craig said his music can best be described in two words: sexual and soulful.

Maybe it’s a combination of his soulful lyrics and apathetic demeanor that keeps the fans around, particularly the

female ones.

Maybe it’s just part of his charm.

“I was going to take a picture with him but I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction,”Alyssa Nelson said.

Nelson, 21, has been a fan of Craig since she was 14.

Nelson claims she’s absolutely in love with his voice.

While his indifferent demeanor might suggest otherwise, Craig said going solo was probably the best decision he’s made for his career.

“This is the first time I’ve seen him as a solo act so I’m excited,” Rachel DeRuby said.

“I just love him he’s been my favorite vocalist for a very long time,” she said.

Like Nelson, DeRuby

has been a loyal fan since her teenage years.

Craig might not be a well-known mainstream artist but he does have a fairly large fan base, which became clear as the night went on.

As it got closer to his performance, the crowd at Trees grew larger

and the mob of girls pushing each other near the front of the stage grew louder.

“I think it’s going pretty well, you know I got a lot of die hard fans that stuck with me through everything so in the end I think it will be worth it,” Craig said.

FRESH.

FAST. TASTY.

If you lose your way when going from SMU to the Meyerson, you're not terribly worried. You simply pull out your phone and use Google Maps. Wondrous technology aside, no one thinks that is a particularly strange way to come to know locations and distances.

Suppose, though, that you found yourself in doubt about whether or not abortion was wrong or whether eating meat was permissible. Is there an app for that?

SMU's 2013 Maguire Public Scholar, Robert Howell, will talk about "Google Morals" on October 23 from noon – 1 p.m.

America has unhealthy obsession with JFK tim welch Contributing Writer twelch@smu.edu About a month from now will mark 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

This is commonly referred to as the 50th anniversary of the shooting, as though it’s a pleasant occasion to be celebrated with cake and champagne.

Our country really has a morbid fascination with the assassination of President Kennedy that seems to supersede any interest in his actual life or presidency.

Classes, books, movies and TV specials are devoted to exploring the fine details of Kennedy’s Nov. 22, 1963 trip to Dallas. Through these exhaustive analyses, we all have ingrained in our minds the few seconds just after noon that day when the presidential motorcade turned through Dealey Plaza, past the infamous book depository, the president suddenly slumped over and the first lady apparently jumped from the back of the limousine. If you want to see the actual moment at which he was fatally shot, just check out the Zapruder Film – it’s on YouTube.

We can’t get enough of it! On any given day, if one walks through Dealey Plaza one will find dozens of tourists gawking at the giant white X’s painted on the road, at the angle from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot the president, and at the area on the grassy knoll where hypothetically a conspiring assassin could have also shot the president.

One will also find locals peddling JFK memorabilia and conspiracy theories.

I find the conspiracy theories the most shocking of all – the ideas that President Johnson, the CIA, the Russians, the mafia or some combination of them conspired to assassinate Kennedy is simply ludicrous.

Yet, according to a CBS News report ten years ago (during the 40th “anniversary”), 80 percent of Americans believe there was some kind of plot to murder the president.

Maybe the idea of a

conspiracy is oddly comforting.

It’s easier to accept that it takes an entire network of devoted evil-doers to kill a president rather than one crazed gunman.

The Warren Commission found that Oswald acted alone; but good luck finding ten random people who believe that.

Regardless, Kennedy’s assassination is really one of the most shocking moments of the 20th century in America, on par with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Maybe that’s why we’re still so obsessed with it, even though most of us weren’t even alive in 1963.

This was certainly a moment that made America feel vulnerable. Although Kennedy was just one man, technically a public servant, he was also the embodiment of the United States at the time – young, handsome, forwardlooking and thinking. To have him murdered on the street in Dallas was and truly still is inconceivable.

To top it off, the assassination took place during the early years of television. It was the first time in history that Americans could sit in their homes and watch a national tragedy unfold in real time. Our grandparents sat at home for four days and watched the first instance of 24-hour news coverage, of Walter Cronkite announcing Kennedy’s death to the world Friday, of Lee Harvey Oswald killed in a parking garage Sunday, and of three-year-old John F. Kennedy, Jr. saluting his father’s casket Monday.

These moments are canonized in American history now; everyone knows a rough outline of the story. In fact, the moment President and Mrs. Kennedy arrived at Parkland Hospital is now canonized in Mark Balma’s painting “Pieta” in St. Paul’s Cathedral in Minnesota.

As the so-called anniversary approaches, let’s all remember that it’s not a happy moment to remember but a necessary one.

Let’s keep the morbid part of our curiosity to ourselves and be respectful of this history.

Assassination compelled city to change carolyn barta Journalism Professor cbarta@smu.edu Dallas at the time of the Kennedy assassination was a city of wide-brim hats and narrow viewpoints. Detectives wearing “Open Road” Stetsons in period photos provide the flavor. But it was the attitude, not the attire, that captured world attention.

A conservative city? Yes. But more important, the city harbored a branch of right-wing extremism that was uncharacteristic of other places. To the right-wingers, “commies” could be hiding under a neighbor’s bush; diversity and pluralism were foreign concepts.

In the papers of then-Mayor Earle Cabell at SMU’s DeGolyer Library are letters from people around the world who branded Dallas as the “city of hate.”

A London man described the assassination as a crime committed “by the maniacs of your despised city.”

A New York World Telegram writer quoted a Dallas cabdriver as saying, “There are a bunch of nuts here in Dallas. We take them in, and we nurture them. We don’t do anything about them. I imagine the assassination will make Dallas change quite a bit.”

Civic leaders rejected the idea that Dallas was a “city of hate.”

But the cabbie was right: the assassination did change Dallas.

In the early 1960s, Dallas was a city in which bigotry and prejudice were allowed to fester under the noses of civic leaders. Fifty years later, Dallas is a different place.

What set Dallas apart then was its patriarchal society – its oligarchy. Longtime civic leader Bob Cullum once defended the system to me, calling it a “service structure.” It was a way in which like-minded folks could climb the rungs, sit in the chairs and ascend to positions of power, or “service,” in the community.

But it was a don’t-come-if-notinvited power structure. Whether for city council, school board or state Legislature, candidates had to

be slated by establishment groups to win. The Citizens Charter Association slated City Council candidates. The Committee for Good Schools slated Dallas school board candidates. And the Democratic Committee for Responsible Government picked legislative candidates. Candidates ran either city- or countywide, and those who appeared on the approved slates had the advantage.

Meanwhile, the establishment virtually ignored right-wing elements that threatened the civility of the city.

Dallas was the only city on the president’s trip where people were concerned about his safety. Some leaders tried to persuade him not to come. That environment didn’t exist in Fort Worth or Houston or San Antonio.

Two events have long been cited as evidence of the unhealthy political climate in Dallas.

Days before the 1960 election, vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, were jostled by placardcarrying hecklers as they tried to cross the street to the Adolphus Hotel. One of the mob leaders was Dallas’ Bruce Alger, Texas’ lone Republican in the U.S. House.

LBJ claimed they were spat upon and, in an oft-quoted remark, said, “I only hope the day never comes when a man cannot walk his lady across the street in Dallas.”

In October 1963, United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was struck on the head with a sign carried by a woman picket, after he delivered a speech that was disrupted by 100 rightwing protesters who wanted the United States out of the U.N. Ironically, Mayor Cabell suggested that the city had an opportunity to redeem itself from the Stevenson embarrassment when the president came to town.

Kennedy’s trip actually was designed to repair divisions in the Texas Democratic Party between factions led by Gov. John Connally, then a conservative Democrat, and liberal U.S. Sen. Ralph Yarborough. Most Texans

were Democrats, but the party was split between conservatives and liberal-loyalists.

Since the Dallas luncheon was sponsored by conservative business leaders – the Dallas Citizens Council – liberalloyalists were left out of the planning. According to Darwin Payne, Dallas historian and former journalist and professor, Barefoot Sanders (who would become a federal judge) went to the powers-that-be and demanded lunch tickets for Democratic Party loyalists.

The visit also was designed to boost JFK in Texas. A Houston Chronicle poll the day of the assassination showed Republican Barry Goldwater leading in Texas a year before the election. And LBJ wanted to make sure he was picked again as vice president by building support for the ticket in Texas.

It was a multifaceted political plot that quickly became unimportant after the assassination.

Texas was so traumatized by the assassination, and LBJ’s personal power as new president was so strong, that previous Republican gains in the state were wiped out in 1964. Ten of 11 GOP seats in the 150-member Texas House were lost – yes, the Texas Legislature was then overwhelmingly Democrat -- and George H.W. Bush lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat.

As for Dallas, the city began a soul-searching that would result in a moderation of viewpoints over time. The first indication of change came when Mayor Cabell, with support from civic and business leadership, ran for Congress, defeating Alger.

Erik Jonsson, a moderate Republican, became mayor and launched the Goals for Dallas program, in which citizens from all walks of life set goals for the city’s future.

The color barrier finally was broken by the first successful black candidates – to the Legislature in 1966, the Dallas school board in 1968 and the City Council in 1969.

Then, the sea change occurred in the 1970s when lawsuits forced single-member districts – in the Legislature, on the school board and City Council – and essentially ended the control of the power structure over local politics.

Today, Dallas is more diverse, pluralistic and tolerant – a more cosmopolitan city that appreciates different viewpoints and ethnic groups. Dallas has had a black mayor and police chief, black and Hispanic city managers and school superintendents, and more women and minorities in all positions of power.

Republicans rule, but their our-way-or-the-highway attitude is a national attitude, not unique to Dallas.

The late Stanley Marcus, retail icon and longtime conscience of the city, delivered a piece of wisdom almost 50 years ago that resonates today. In a Jan. 1, 1964, newspaper advertorial (“What’s right about Dallas”) found in his files in the DeGolyer Library, Marcus said: “It is the absolutist, whether of left or right, that democracy has to fear. This is the man who thinks that he alone possesses wisdom, patriotism and virtue, who recognizes no obligation to accept community decisions with which he disagrees, who regards any means as justified by the end, who views the political process as a power struggle to impose conformity rather than a means to reconcile differences.

“Democracy is a method of reaching a consensus,” he wrote.

“Those who reject the consensus reject democracy.”

MONDAY n OCTOBER 21, 2013 Commentary

Women’s Swimming and Diving

A tribute to Mr. Ryan and his Rangers run Preston hutcherson Contributing Writer phutcherson@smu.edu Nolan Ryan began his final press conference as the CEO of the Texas Rangers at 3:30pm Thursday.

Team majority owners Bob Simpson and Ray Davis joined Ryan in front of the cameras as he announced his retirement from baseball while general manager Jon Daniels and a capacity crowd of Dallas-Fort Worth sports writers looked on from the audience.

Ryan, a Hall of Fame pitcher who ended his playing career as a Ranger in 1993, had been hired as the President of the Rangers in February of 2008.

Ryan will be remembered fondly for his role in legitimizing the struggling club when he arrived as president.

In a baseball market that had grown lethargic after years of embarrassing irrelevance, there was no one as revered and respected as Ryan.

He had played the final seasons of his historic career in Texas and earned a reputation as its tough, honest, favorite son.

His return to the organization signaled a return to sound leadership and integrity; the fans trusted Ryan to right the ship and save the floundering team.

The ensuing six seasons included the hands down greatest years of the organization’s history: four seasons of at least 90 wins, two division championships, two American League Championships, two World Series appearances and one wild card game appearance.

There is no question that Ryan leaves behind a solid legacy of

baseball success as he departs to spend more time with his grandchildren and cattle ranch.

He was never out of sight, assuring us from his seat near the home dugout that things were different now. We watched him hold up the American League Championship trophy in 2010 for the first time.

We saw him standing restlessly alongside us in game six of the 2011 World Series, waiting for the final strike that never appeared as the Rangers came so agonizingly close to winning it all.

He was the living representation of both the old Rangers we loved and the new Rangers that we love even more.

He legitimized the organization in the eyes of the fans at a time when winning seemed far away. For that Mr. Ryan, we thank you.

Football

Quick start tames the Tigers Matthew Costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu Despite a handful of second-half mistakes for SMU (2-4, 1-1 in American Athletic Conference), the Mustangs were able to hold off a comeback from the University of Memphis Tigers, winning their first AAC game in history, 34-29.

The scoring came early for the Mustangs, as receiver Keenan Holman hauled in a bullet pass from senior quarterback Garrett Gilbert 45 seconds into the game that went 79 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown, and a lead SMU retained for the remainder of the contest.

The second quarter was where the game got away from the Tigers though, as the Mustangs scored 24 straight points, including two touchdown runs from Traylon Shead.

The starting tailback had his best game of the season statistically, rushing for 83 yards and scoring twice, but also contributed to the Mustang’s offensive problems, fumbling in the second half.

Gilbert also got into the scoring column for a second time with a quick pass to receiver Collin LaGasse for an 8-yard score that helped push

the halftime lead up to 31-3. That was about the time trouble came around for the Mustangs.

Shead’s fumble was one of three turnovers for SMU that led directly to Tiger scores. As he received a handoff, Shead was stripped by Memphis’ Ryan Coleman, who ran into the end zone for the Tigers’ first touchdown of the day.

The lead was cut even more about five minutes into the fourth quarter, as JaBryce Taylor fielded a punt for the Mustangs but fumbled into the hands of a very active Coleman, running it back 19 yards for his second score of the game.

SMU’s last blunder was

cashed in after Gilbert threw an interception that went all the way to the house, but was called back for a premature celebration on Memphis. Tigers’ running back Brandon Hayes finished off the drive four plays later with a 1-yard plunge over the goal line.

Although Memphis was able to cut the score down to two-possessions, SMU was able to finish off the effort thanks to that scoring flurry in the second quarter.

Homecoming next week will be a strong test for the Mustangs, as they return to Ford Stadium to take on the Temple Owls.

Mustangs finish fifth in Classic Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu In the annual swimming and diving competition, the Mustangs finished fifth at the SMU Classic in Perkins Natatorium over the weekend.

With a score of 275.50 the Mustangs were edged out by the University of North Carolina (fourth with 276), the University of Louisville (third with 280) Indiana University (second with 304.50) and the University of Southern California (first with 312).

“This was just a really big step for our team,” Head Coach Steve Collins said. “Going against some of the top teams in the country we really performed well. I was really pleased.”

Junior Rachel Nicol led SMU on the second night with a first-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke. She won the event with a three second cushion over her closest competitor.

“Rachel Nicol, this weekend, really took a step forward when you’re looking at the national scene,” Collins said. “In a field like this to dominate in an event like that is just really special.”

Juniors Isabella Arcila and Nathalie Lindborg added second place finishes in the 200-yard backstroke and 100-yard freestyle to help the Mustangs’ cause.

“Nathalie went 49 in the championship heat and I just couldn’t be happier about her swim,” Collins said.

The SMU swimming and diving team placed fifth at the 2013 SMU Classic.

senior Monika Babok and junior Nicole Parmenter, narrowly missed a first-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay, finishing less than one second behind USC. “Our medley relays both nights were fantastic,” Collins said.

“It was a team effort, and that’s something we really work on as a group.”

Arcila won the consolation heat of the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 49.87 — the fastest

performance in either heat at the event.

“Isabella was just fantastic this weekend in the backstroke and the freestyle and won the consolation heat in the 100 free tonight with a time that would have actually been the fastest in the competition,” Collins added.

The Mustangs are back in action Nov. 1 and 2. SMU will travel to Rice on the Friday evening, followed by a Saturday match-up at Houston.
