Fire marshal’s office updates building inspection method The UH fire marshal’s office will no longer be taking handwritten notes while inspecting a building and has simultaneously found a way to streamline the building inspection process. Deputy Fire Marshals Lance Wilson and Chris McDonald collaborated on the innovative idea to enter a building’s violations directly into inspection software they developed on the iPad that uses Sharepoint and Microsoft Access. This has helped eliminate many steps, as well as saved the department time, money and paper. — Karishma Sakrouja

THE DAILY COUGAR For 50 years, the A.D. Bruce Religion Center has been serving UH students, faculty and staff free lunches from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday. The center, which has 11 different ministries represented in the building, asks each department to host a lunch at least once per semester. “We feed somewhere up to 180 to 200 students every week,” said Mike McAllister,
campus minister for the Church of Christ. McAllister, who has been at UH for five years, is responsible for nine to 13 lunches per semester on Wednesdays. “Students don’t have home cooked meals and some of them don’t have any money,” he said. “God cares about them, so we care about them.” His ministry has been doing this for more than 40 years and has local churches provide the meals. “By word of mouth so many students have come here,” said Susan Maxwell, a volunteer from Kingwood Church of Christ. “We are sharing the love of Jesus, the food nourishes their bodies and souls.”
Hoang Long, a Spanish and pharmacy senior, has been coming to the building since he was a freshman. “Two years ago, I saw the building, thought it was beautiful and saw people eating,” Long said. “When you’re in college anything that has the word free in it is a good thing.” Long has also benefited from the diversity of the people who attend. “There are always international students studying here, I’ve experienced new cultures and diversity and have since learned two more languages,” he said.

The 15th Annual Living Archives series sponsored by UH Friends of Women Studies welcomed Joanne King Herring as their guest in the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library on Oct. 25. Herring, long-time host of KHOU’s “The Joanne King Show,” is a political activist, socialite and author best known for her work as an adviser in the Afghanistan war. This role gave her wide recognition when she was portrayed by Julia Roberts in the 2008 film, “Charlie Wilson’s War.” At the event, she discussed her new memoir, “Diplomacy and Diamonds,” as she answered questions in an interview with Claudia Freeman, a journalist for The Houston Chronicle. Herring said that her struggles with dyslexia for most of her childhood shook her confidence; she credits her father for giving her the strength to succeed. ARCHIVES continues on page 3

THE DAILY COUGAR UH Coogs changed the red pride to green pride on Wednesday at the Green UH Day at Butler Plaza. Student organizations and supporting groups, including Green Mountain Energy and METRO, set up in front of the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library to showcase campus environmental successes
and promote green efforts by sharing tips and ideas with students as they walked to class. “It is important to us as a department to be sustainable, but it’s also part of the University’s larger mission to be green, so we do what we can to help out,” said Marketing Coordinator of UH Dining Services Amber Arguijo. Students were encouraged to stop at the UH Dining Services tent to make biodegradable playdough out of flour, salt, water and food coloring. “We wanted to do something food related and so this is something that we came up with that was interactive,” Arguijo said. “We
didn’t want to just set up information about what we are doing because we do a lot of sustainable things that are more large scale.” The UH bookstore was also part of Green UH Day as they displayed a number of the recycled and biodegradable products available for sale, including T-shirts made by the fair labor company Alta Gracia. “Alta Gracia is a brand that promotes using fair wages and fair hours for their workers — the design of the shirt was chosen in a competition last year and was designed by a UH student, we GREEN continues on page 3

“As a child I was very unattractive. I was tall. I was not only the tallest girl in my class, but I was the tallest child in my class,” Herring said. “My father didn’t forgive anybody for being ugly. I couldn’t read and write. My preschool and elementary days were very bad. I know what it’s like to have no one who is like you.” “One time, I was riding a horse, and a snake got around me. My father told me to kill it and I was scared; I did not know how to kill it. My father told me, ‘Kill it, kill it!’ and I got a stick and hit it until it died. This is what brought me my confidence.” Herring received her degree at the University of Texas, but said she was not serious about her studies. She never went to her economics class, and made another student, an economics major, take the tests in her place. “The only way I got through was through memorizing the material,” Herring said. She married real estate developer Robert King. During the marriage, she began her work in television with the “Joanne King Show,” which lasted 15 years. “My grandmother started the Women’s Christian Mission, because she wanted a shelter for women — at the time there were only shelters for men,” she said. “I went to the KHOU-TV station and told them stories about what had happened to some of the women, and they asked, ‘Would you like to come back?’” Herring’s work extends far past television. She has had meetings with well-known figures ranging from the Duke of Windsor to former President Ronald Reagan. She has also received honors and awards for her dedication and involvement to and in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Morocco. She spoke about her life in international politics, describing her time as an honorary counsel member in Morocco and a roaming ambassador in Pakistan. She ended the interview by answering audience questions and autographing her memoir for students and members of the public.

Judge who beat daughter should be punished
A
Texas judge is in trouble after a video of him allegedly beating his teenage daughter was posted on YouTube. The video, posted by daughter Hillary Adams, allegedly shows County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams cursing, screaming and whipping the then-16-year-old girl repeatedly.
According to Hillary Adams, the video is seven years old. And in a statement made to KRIS-TV, Hillary says that she wants her father to seek help. William Adams, a Rockport resident, confirmed that he was the person in the video and told KRIS that “I have not done anything wrong other than discipline my child” and that “my life’s been made very difficult over this child.” The video shows Hillary’s mother and Adams being verbally abusive, and Adams excessively beating his daughter with a belt. Hillary was beaten because she had downloaded games and multimedia content on the family computer — something apparently forbidden in the Adams household. “Obviously it is a very disturbing video. We in my office as well as everyone on earth is taking a look at it, at this time,” said Aransas County Attorney Richard Bianchi to the Express-News. We at The Daily Cougar are not experts in parenting; however, recorded footage of a government official issuing excessive corporal punishment to a defenseless child is disturbing. Even if the incident happened more than five years ago, that should not take away of the severity of Adams’ actions. Some may argue this is a case of an abused child seeking revenge against her father by sabotaging his career — others may say it is a legitimate cry for help. Regardless of why the video was posted and heavily circulated on the Internet, Adams deserves some type of punishment. There are some who would argue that spanking is an appropriate way of disciplining a child, but those who do usually are not captured on camera. This video shows a man who is in charge of delivering justice administering something far from that.

Fields of plenty Alabama’s harsh immigration law has forced workers out, fields go unharvested
A
labama’s harsh immigration law, HB56, has worked — undocumented immigrants are leaving the state of Alabama in droves. Republican state legislators should congratulate themselves on how well they have done their jobs. Perhaps they could throw Daniel themselves a banquet Renfrow in celebration of their success and feast on some, soon to be scarce, Alabama produce. Or, maybe they could all go on a scenic tour of Alabama’s farmland and look at all of the crops that are withering on their vines. These crops are withering because there is no one available to pick them. Most of Alabama’s agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants and have fled the state in fear of being deported. So, if the goal of this law was for Alabama’s Latino population to decrease, then these legislators have definitely been successful. However, if their goal was to help Alabama’s economy recover, then these legislators have failed miserably. According to a report by the University of Alabama’s Center for Business and Economic Research, HB56 has created a shortage of 10,000 workers and could cost Alabama $40 million. Many of these workers come from Alabama’s agriculture sector, a sector that has been dominated by migrant workers for over 60 years. According to Demetrios Papademetriou, president and co-founder of the Migration Policy Institute, migrant workers have always supported Alabama’s agriculture sector. “This is a sector and an industry... that a long time ago, going back to the 1940s and probably before that was abandoned. It was abandoned to foreign workers,” Papademetriou said in an interview with The Huffington Post. However, some proponents of HB56 see the opening of Alabama’s agriculture sector to US workers as an easy way to decrease
Alabama’s 9.9 percent unemployment rate — this isn’t going to happen. Alabama farm owners have been extremely vocal about the inability of US citizens to work agricultural jobs. But this is not to say that some of Alabama farmers have not tried to hire legal workers. Alabama tomato farmer Wayne Smith is one of these farmers, but he has grown disillusioned about his good-intentioned endeavor. “People in Alabama are not going to do this. They’d work one day and then just wouldn’t show up again,” Smith said in an interview with The Associated Press, echoing the sentiments of many Alabama farmers. Part of the problem is that on most field workers get paid for the amount of produce they can pick. On Smith’s farm, this amounts to $2 for every 25-pound box of tomatoes. Smith said that someone with experience picking tomatoes can make as much as $300 a day. However, unskilled workers— American citizens— usually make far less. Many of these workers show up for one day of work, make $25, and then decide to try a line of work that is not as backbreaking as picking produce. “They are trying very hard,” said fellow Alabama tomato farmer, Ellen Jenkins in an interview with TheGrio.com. “They just don’t have the (skills).” These workers don’t have the skills, and members of Alabama’s Legislature don’t have the skills. The state of Georgia implemented a similar immigration law earlier this year, and the same thing happened to its agriculture sector. Had Alabama legislators done their homework, or maybe taken a short road trip, they would have know this would happen. Many Alabama farmers are now having to watch their produce rot unharvested in their fields. If the field worker shortage continues, many of these farmers will have to make the decision to plant smaller crops
If the goal of this law was for Alabama’s Latino population to decrease, then these legislators have definitely been successful. However, if their goal was to help Alabama’s economy recover, then these legislators have failed miserably.” next season. This will result in an additional drop in jobs. Perhaps instead of scaring undocumented farm workers out of their state, Alabama legislators should simply increase the amount of H-2A, guest worker programs. This would allow undocumented farm workers to legally work in Alabama’s fields. Farmers would lose some money in housing costs if this were to happen, but this small loss would be far better than simply letting their produce rot in their fields.

PRESIDENTIAL COMMENTARY
We can’t wait: Helping manage student loan debt
O
ver the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to get out of Washington and talk with folks across the country about how we can create jobs and get our economy growing faster. President This is a tough Obama time for a lot of Americans – especially young people. You’ve come of age at a time of profound change. The world has gotten more connected, but it’s also gotten more competitive. And for decades, too many of our institutions – from Washington to Wall Street – failed to adapt, culminating in the worst financial crisis and recession since the Great Depression. For the last three years, we’ve worked to stabilize the economy, and we’ve made some progress. But we still have a long way to go. And now, as you’re getting ready to head out into the world, many of you are watching your friends and classmates struggle to find work. You’re wondering what’s in store for your future, and I know that can be scary. The truth is, the economic problems we face today didn’t happen overnight, and they won’t be solved overnight. But the fact that you’re investing in your education right now tells me that you believe in the future of America. You want to be a part of it. And you know that there are steps we can take right now to put Americans back to work and give our economy a boost. The problem is, there are some in Washington who just don’t share that sense of urgency. That’s why it’s been so disappointing to see Republicans in Congress block jobs bills from going forward – bills that independent economists say could create millions of jobs though the kinds of proposals supported by Democrats and Republicans in the past. Now, the best way to attack our economic challenges and put hundreds of thousands of
“
people back to work is through bold action in Congress. That’s why I’m going to keep demanding that Members of Congress to vote on common-sense, paid-for jobs proposals. And I hope you’ll send them a message to do the right thing for your future, and the future of our country. But we can’t wait for Congress to do its job. So where they won’t act, I will. That’s why, I’ve announced a new policy that will help families whose home values have fallen refinance their mortgages and save thousands of dollars. We made it easier for veterans to get jobs putting their skills to work in hospitals and community health centers. And at the University of Colorado at Denver, I announced steps we’re taking to make college more affordable and to make it even easier for students like you to get out of debt faster. Michelle and I know what it feels like to leave school with a mountain of debt. We didn’t come from wealthy families. By the time we both graduated from law school, we had about $120,000 worth of debt between us. And even though we were lucky enough to land good jobs with steady incomes, it still took us almost 10 years to finally pay it all off. It wasn’t easy. Living with that much debt forces you to make some tough choices. And when a big chunk of every paycheck goes towards student loans, it isn’t just painful for you – it’s painful to our economy and harmful to our recovery. That’s why we’re making changes that will give about 1.6 million students the ability to cap their loan payments at 10 percent of their income starting next year. We’re also going to take steps to help you consolidate your loans so that instead of making multiple payments to multiple lenders every month, you only have to make one payment a month at a better interest rate.

Road contest at UAB next test for UH John Brannen
THE DAILY COUGAR The comfort of the Cougars’ three-game homestand is over. Three of the last four games on the schedule will be played away from Robertson Stadium, and UH will control its own destiny on the road. “It has been forever since we played on the road,” quarterback Case Keenum said. “We haven’t played great on the road when you look at the past few games but I think we’re at a different point in the season. Teams grow and change as you grow.” The No. 14 Cougars (8-0, 4-0 Conference USA) have had plenty of learning experiences to grow from. Come-from-behind victories against Louisiana Tech and UTEP on the road and the defense’s growing pains have built some character to a team often considered to be offense-oriented. “Even from my time in high school we always started the year as a relatively inexperienced team, but by the time you got to playoffs you’re a new team,” Keenum said. “A lot of guys on the team pretty much have a whole season of experience under their belt now. We’ve grown and matured as a team. “We’ve gotten better at dealing
with changeups as far as having to deal with playing on Saturdays and Thursdays. It’s all about adapting to change and new environments.” The Cougars ninth opponent is Alabama-Birmingham (1-6, 1-4), and a win would mark the best start in program history. The Blazers are led head coach Neil Callaway, who is in his fifth year at UAB. UAB owns a 4-3 overall record against UH and are 3-1 when playing at Legion Field. The last time the two teams met, the Cougars won 45-20 in 2008 at Robertson Stadium, giving head coach Kevin Sumlin a 1-0 record against the Blazers. Not much has gone right for UAB this season. The Blazers dropped their first six games, beat Central Florida 26-24 for their first win and returned to their losing ways last weekend with a 59-14 loss to Marshall. The Cougars were ranked No. 13 in the latest BCS standings. Keenum is coming off back-to-back games where he shattered the NCAA total offense and touchdown records. Five days after playing UAB, the Cougars will head east to New Orleans to play Tulane. Both UAB and the Green Wave may be at the bottom of the C-USA standings, but they are still mandatory obstacles to clear if the Cougars want to stay

also know there is a lot more out there. We’ve been to this point and fell off so we know the importance of taking it one week at a time and we know the importance of winning. That’s what’s important to us. In August, we felt like we were going to be a good football team and we still feel that way. Our goal of winning the conference
Home cooking could be recipe for success Ricardo Rivera
THE DAILY COUGAR From the moment Natalie Keck boarded the flight en route to Houston after UH’s loss to UTEP on Sunday, a single thought gave her enthusiasm in the wake of the Cougar’s snapped six-match winning streak. “I just remembered — wow, we’re still undefeated at home. It’s a great place to bounce back from last weekend, win these two matches and move on.” Keck said. When UH (16-7, 9-4 Conference USA) welcomes Marshall to the Athletics/Alumni Center Friday, the Thundering Herd will encounter a Cougar team currently unbeaten at home. After a slew of gritty five-set battles, come-from-behind victories and the occasional three-set sweep, the Cougars have managed to hold serve in nine out of nine attempts to put them in second place in C-USA. “We love playing at home,”
middle blocker Lucy Charuk said. “It’s definitely a confidence boost for us. “The fact that we are undefeated here gives us more encouragement to play hard, and keep it that way. We’re more comfortable here, and we’re more confident here. So that definitely gives us a huge advantage over whoever we’re playing.” Entering the matchup, the Cougars have spent the week zeroed in on the largest contributor to their losses to Central Florida and UTEP — the mental game. “It’s definitely a mental thing for us,” Charuk said. “It’s one thing we struggled at during the beginning of the season. We haven’t had the problem in the last couple of weeks, so the losses were kind of a step back for us. But we’ve looked at the weekend, learned from it and we’re going to move on and get better.” In their dominating performances against Rice, UAB and UTEP, the Cougars displayed a knack for coming through in big moments. For a team that has reeled off two five-plus-match-winning streaks, the key to topping visiting VOLLEYBALL continues on page 10

No one knows what the Big East will look in a few days, let a lone in 2013, or if it will retain its BCS Automatic Qualifying status after all conferences are up for review following next season. Regardless, the Joshua University should Siegel join the Big East in whatever form is takes on. In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, the presidents of Big East schools agreed to extend formal invitations to unnamed schools for both full and football-only membership. The Associated Press and the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday that UH is one of the schools that will receive an invitation. Big East commissioner John Marianatto said that he would like this part of the expansion process to be resolved in the next week or so.

Junior swingman Jonathan Simmons stole the show at the Hardwood Tip-Off at the Athletics/Alumni Center on Wednesday. Simmons was crowned the champion of the dunk contest, the headline event of the evening, after throwing down a windmill off the side of the backboard and another tomahawk off the glass. Freshman forward TaShawn Thomas finished runner-up after nailing a between-the-legs dunk on his first attempt. In addition to the dunk contest, both men’s and women’s teams competed in a co-ed three-point competition with senior point guard Porsche Landry and junior forward Kirk Van Slyke coming out on top.

NOTES FROM THE CHEF
The perfect steak isn’t rocket science Jorge Porras
THE DAILY COUGAR Rest assured, if you gather 100 chefs and ask them how to prepare a steak, you will get 100 different recipes. That being said, this is my philosophy and method of preparation when it comes to preparing and presenting my favorite food of all time: steak. We begin with the cut of meat. Everyone knows the classics; filet mignon, ribeye, prime rib, New York strip, Porterhouse and T-bone steaks. One defining characteristic all of these cuts have in common is their gentle usage. The less the animal stretched those muscles in life, the more tender they will be after butchering. This brings me to my next point: marbling, which is the formation of fat inside the muscle — not the bits of chewy fat found on the edges of
the steak. Before you cook a steak you should see little pockets of fat throughout the red flesh with the appearance of marble — hence the name. Just know that the more marbling, the juicier and more tender the finished product will be. Next comes the seasoning, the most important aspect of cooking a steak. Seasoning can raise steak to rock star status on cloud nine or send it crashing and burning, comparable to a culinary version of the Titanic or The Hindenburg blimp. All you need is salt and pepper. I like using coarse salt or sea salt for the crust-like texture it gives the seared flesh. Do away with the special steak seasonings, steak sauces, hollandaise and ketchup; they will just mask the natural flavors of the beef. I am going to go ahead and say this about steak and ketchup: Anyone who eats steak with ketchup should be locked up for steak abuse and anyone who allows it should be tried as an accomplice — but I digress. When it comes to cooking a steak, depending on how you like it you will just need a sauté pan or grill for searing the meat and an oven to finish it off; if you like your steak rare to raw in the middle you will not need an oven. You want to let the cooking surface get to be smoking hot before putting the steak on. If you don’t hear a sizzle, there won’t be a sear. If you are grilling, cranking the heat up is key to getting nice grill marks. Once you have a pleasant sear on the steak, it’s ready for the oven. I recommend getting an oven-safe sauté pan to make the stove-to-oven transition as easy as possible. Have your oven pre-heated to about 400 degrees before you throw the steak in. Depending on the thickness of your steak, the cook time will vary, so keep an eye on the steak. After your steak is cooked to your liking, place it on the cutting board and wait about four or five minutes to allow the juices to rest. If you have ever had a steak bleed all over your plate it is because it was not rested properly. Now all that is left to do is bring the steak to the table and dive in fork first. arts@thedailycougar.com

HEALTH CHECK
10 ways to be healthy and build muscle Tristan De’ Clouette
THE DAILY COUGAR When it comes to fitness, everyone is under the impression that they have the key — the absolute solution to achieve any weight or bench-pressing goal. Some people claim you should bulk up and eat tons of food to build muscle; some claim you should build muscle while losing body fat through altering your carbohydrate and fat intake. But the problem is that these solutions don’t always work for the average student that is juggling classes, work and a social life. Only through self-application can one find what works best for them. However, before anything can change, you should start with nutrition. Nutrition alone can have a dramatic affect on your physique. It can increase your muscle size or decrease body fat, and it can give you far more energy and even boost one’s overall well-being. Knowing the best, high-quality foods to eat and when to eat them can reap tremendous rewards to the novice trainer or even an elite athlete wanting to prepare for an upcoming competition. When trying to get into shape for the first time, it’s best to start by changing your diet. Training is not superior to nutrition, nutrition is not superior to training, and neither is superior to the body’s ability to recover from the two — all are part of an equation that help your body adapt to physical activity. Here are 10 ways to improve the outcome of your training sessions. 1. Using a reverse grip when doing presses for the chest engages the chest by more than 30 percent in comparison to standard incline bench press. 2. Add variety and change your posture in order to sufficiently target and stress various locations of the muscle fibers. Such changes can include changing hand placement, changing the angle of a bench, or spacing of one’s feet when squatting. 3. One of the best diet approaches is simply to get a moderate to high amount of lean
OBAMA continued from page 5
And we want to start giving students a simple fact sheet called “Know Before You Owe” so you can have all the information you need to make your own decision about paying for college. That’s something Michelle and I wish we had. These changes will make a real difference for millions of Americans. We’ll help more young people figure out how to afford college. We’ll put more money in your pocket after you graduate. We’ll make it easier to buy a house or save for retirement. And we’ll give our economy a boost at a time when it desperately needs it. That’s not just important for our country right now – it’s
protein, moderate to high amount of carbs and moderate to very low amount of fat. When you are aiming for size, increase the amount of carbs; when trying to burn fat, simply lower your carb intake throughout the day. 4. Dumbbell presses are superior for chest development as opposed to barbell presses, simply because the range of motion allows your arms to move in a plane that is ideal for better isolation of the pectoral fibers as opposed to incorporation of the deltoids or shoulders. 5. If you’re losing steam in your workouts, Music can have a positive effect on your mood when training. Similarly, ballet stretches can assist your muscle in recovering and growing. 6. Using supersets is a great way to add intensity in one’s workouts. Training opposing muscles loosens you up and allows one to be stronger in both muscles. 7. Train intelligently and efficiently. Aim to be done with training within one hour if possible — otherwise a nasty little hormone called cortisol will negatively affect your workouts if you train for too long. 8. Testosterone is the king of muscle growth. Testosterone is what separates the huge muscle men from the aesthetic beauty of a model. Men produce high amounts of testosterone, which gives them a natural advantage in rapid growth of muscle tissue. 9. Try to cut down on the intake of saturated fat; focus on mono- and poly-saturated fats like avocados, olive oil and nuts. Too much saturated fat can increase the storage of fat on one’s physique. Healthy fats can assist with much-needed functions in the body such as hormonal production. 10. Also fuel up on the body’s most needed resource — water. It is the most abundant product in your body and therefore should always be replaced. Keeping your body hydrated will improve your health, appearance and overall well-being. arts@thedailycougar.com
important for our future. Michelle and I are where we are today because our college education gave us a chance. Our parents and their generation worked and sacrificed to hand down the dream of opportunity to us. Now it’s our turn. That dream of opportunity is what I want for my daughters, and for all of you. And even in these tough times, we are going to make that dream real once again. In the weeks ahead, I’m going to keep doing everything in my power to make a difference for the American people — including young people like you. Because here in America, when we find a problem, we fix it. When we face a challenge, we meet it. We don’t wait. And I hope you’ll join me. Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States.

The Pac-12 received a $3-billion deal from ESPN and Fox earlier this year. With the other five AQ conferences locked into deals or set to begin new deals, the Big East would be the only conference on the market for the networks to compete for and gobble up.
