Camp begins, questions linger Amid inquiry, Manziel, A&M suit up for first practice Sean Lester The Battalion
I
n front of a packed room of media representatives, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday fielded questions before the first football practice of the year, but Johnny Manziel’s off-the-field behavior once again trumped pre-season preparations. Sumlin faced few football-related questions entering fall practices. The focus was instead on accusations that came to light Sunday alleging that Johnny Manziel took monetary compensation for signing memorabilia. Sumlin was asked if he was annoyed by so much attention to off-the-field issues on the first day of practice. “What do you think?” Sumlin said. “You could answer that. It’s the first day of practice and for the first time in my six years of being a head coach, nobody’s asking me about the new guys or the fact that we signed 31 players and all of them are eligible. That probably annoys me more than anything else.” The ESPN report surfaced Sunday and claimed Manziel signed more than 1,000 items in return for a five-figure sum, though sources say they did not see an exchange of money. On Monday, Dan Wolken of USA Today reported the same law firm that helped keep Cam Newton eligible in 2010 at Auburn has been hired by A&M to do the same for Manziel. If the accusations of Manziel taking money in exchange for signed memorabilia are proven true, he could be ruled ineligible by the NCAA or suspended by the team. Sumlin said he learned of the accusations in the 24 hours preceding the conference and he would not comment until the University and the NCAA provide him with facts. “That’s a situation that, for me as a coach, that’s happened in a 24-hour period and our University is doing its due diligence to find out the facts,” Sumlin said.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was all smiles, joking with coaches and teammates, as the team returned to the football fields Monday amid accusations that Manziel took money in exchange for signing memorabilia in January.

Texas A&M professor researches origins of ‘suspicious’ honey Allison Rubenak The Battalion

oney consumers who adore the food for its sweet taste, thick texture and natural health benefits may be surprised when they discover that their favorite brand may not adhere to what the label claims, according to one Texas A&M professor. Vaughn Bryant, professor of anthropology and one of the few experts in the world in melissopalynology — the study of pollen and honey — has devoted more than thirty years to honey research. A customs reauthorization bill proposed by the U.S. Senate addressed the longstanding issue of honey fraud. If approved, the bill would enforce more regulations for honey identification. “The problem is that when we go to the store and pick up a bottle and it says clover, wildflower or buckwheat — how do you know what you’re buying?” Bryant said. In order to determine the origin of honey, pollen must be present. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require pollen to be present in honey, therefore the laws make it impossible to tell where some honey originated and

Professor develops egg sanitization machine Nancy Yuezhang
Special to The Battalion n egg-sanitizing machine with the potential to provide the poultry industry with an increase in viable chicks has been invented by A&M researcher Craig Coufal, and is undergoing the final trials before it enters commercial markets. Coufal, assistant professor and extension specialist of poultry science, said every egg laid by a chicken has bacteria on the shell. The natural defenses of the egg should keep bacteria from invading. Bacteria that does reach the interior of the egg can cause rotting, an aborted embryo or a

Coufal said even though relying on natural defenses works 99 percent of
the time, one percent can add up on a large commercial scale. “But when you are talking about millions of eggs — one percent is a lot.” Coufal said. “If we can reduce it by half, that would be a lot.” Coufal’s research is in part motivated to increase the number of viable eggs, but he said the main research purpose is to keep the hatchery environment as sanitized as possible. “I kind of think the hatchery is like the hospital. There are all these chicks being
football A&M announces Polo Manukainiu’s funeral arrangements Monday marked one week since Texas A&M redshirt freshman defensive lineman Polo Manukainiu was killed in a rollover car accident in New Mexico. Texas A&M sports information director Alan Cannon announced Monday that the team would attend a Saturday funeral in Dallas for Manukainiu. The school will also honor Manukainiu at the Sept. 3 Silver Taps. Defensive coordinator Polo Manukainiu Mark Snyder said no decision has been made on how the team will honor Manukainiu during the season. A Facebook group of Texas A&M students and fans with more than 520 members has started a campaign to honor Manukainiu for the Aug. 31 football opening game against Rice with T-shirts.
Sumlin suspends Ennis; status of Raven, Everett still in question Sumlin addressed the status of three Texas A&M players who had run-ins with the law during the offseason. Starting defensive lineman Kirby Ennis will be suspended for the Rice game after being arrested in February by College Station police for disorderly conduct and display of a firearm according to Brazos Valley jail records. The status of juniors Floyd Raven Jr. and Deshazor Everett is still in question according to Sumlin, who said the school is “still gathering information.” The school and team will continue to investigate what happened in Raven’s and Everett’s arrests and determine a decision from there. Everett and Raven turned themselves in to Brazos County authorities on July 2 following an April assault case in which both players were charged with two counts of assault causing bodily injury and criminal mischief.

where the honey was produced and what nectar sources are dominant. This means that with no traces of pollen, honey sellers can take cheap honey and claim it’s a type that sells for a premium price.” Bryant, who was a collaborator in a 2011 study sponsored by Food Safety News, found that 75 percent of honey samples collected from drugstores, local producers and supercenters like Wal-Mart, Target and Costco did not have pollen. However, Bryant said “almost all” of the local honey contained pollen. Bryant first began studying pollen while working on his masters in anthropology. In 1975, Bryant was asked to examine suspicious samples of honey for the Office of the Inspector General within the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) given by American beekeepers as part of a farm subsidy program that required the honey to be produced domestically. From 1975 to 1980, Bryant continued to look at samples sent to him and said the world price steadily increased over the subsidy price. Bryant, along with the federal government, has speculated that Chinese honey has been mixed with honey and additives from other countries for shipment into the U.S. The pollen was

Bryant also said China produces “by far more honey than any other place in the world.” In 2001, the U.S. enforced a 250 percent tax on Chinese honey exportation due to their “dumping” on the world market for “bargain prices.” After 2001, Bryant said he would receive phone calls from many importers who were afraid they were inadvertently receiving illegal shipments of honey. “We’re faced with some people who are concerned and want to be honest with what they sell,” Bryant said. Tom Fris — a hobbyist beekeeper from McKinney, Texas, who has sent his honey to Bryant for inspection — called the issue a constant moving target, with credibility being an issue. “I think that if you have a strong certification program, like pulling bottles from the shelf, it would enforce more credibility,” Fris said. “I think people would be shocked at what is on these shelves.” Kimberly Childers, a manager of Brazos Natural Foods, said many customers use local honey for medicinal purposes. “We have customers who buy local [unfiltered] honey to assist with their allergies,” Childers said. “The bees are eating what’s locally in the area.” Many also buy honey for its nutritional benefits as an

alternative to refined sugars in the daily diet. “If you don’t want to eat refined sugar, here is the sweetest, truest, most natural substance on earth,” Fris said.
Despite the lack of consistency in the honey industry, Bryant said he was hopeful for the future if the honey regulations bill passes.
Ft. Hood shooting trial begins
Super Summer Savings

DALLAS (AP) — Maj. Nidal Hasan will stand trial in a court-martial that starts Tuesday for the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead and more than 30 people wounded at the Texas Army post on Nov. 5, 2009. Hasan faces 13 specifications of premeditated murder and 32 specifications of attempted premeditated murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. If convicted, he would face the death penalty. Hasan is representing himself at trial. He wanted to argue that he carried out the shooting in “defense of others” — namely, Muslim insurgents fighting American soldiers in Afghanistan — but the judge, Col. Tara Osborn,
denied that strategy. Osborn has also told him that he will not be able to make speeches about his beliefs or try to testify himself when he’s questioning witnesses. The judge, the prosecutors and the attorneys in the case are military officers, as are the 13 jurors. The jurors must be unanimous to find Hasan guilty of premeditated murder. If that happens, Hasan’s case would quickly proceed to a capital sentencing hearing, where prosecutors try to prove one or more aggravating factors that merit a death sentence. Jurors must be unanimous to sentence him to death. However, three-quarters of the jury must vote yes to convict Hasan for attempted murder.

hatched there, kind of like babies are being born in hospitals,� Coufal said. “You want to keep the environment for these newborn babies — these little chicks coming out of shell — as clean as possible so that they do not get infected.� Coufal said the chicks produced by the hatchery are healthier, cleaner, and will grow and live longer if the hatchery environment is as sanitized as possible. Coufal began his research in 2007 to sanitize eggs effectively and eventually discovered a combination of UV light and hydrogen peroxide worked in a laboratory setting. He said the researchers continuously modify the process. “We are trying to figure out how to apply the hydrogen peroxide in a mechanized manner,� Coufal said. “We are trying to determine, ‘What are the parameters that optimize the treatment process?’ And, “How do we build a machine to replicate those optimized parameters?’� In February 2012, Coufal and his graduate students built their first prototype. “It was not fancy,but it did what we needed it to do,� Coufal said. Nathan Fuchs, poultry science graduate student, said the prototype is effective in reducing the number of bacteria on the eggs. Coufal said the technology could have been ineffective if the natural defense mechanisms of the egg were also damaged, but said there was no significant difference found in embryo mortality though. Engineer William Love, Class of 2009, took Coufal’s prototype and built the first commercial version of the egg-sanitizing machine in 2013. “The machine was designed with the intent of being user friendly as well as user safe.� William said. “And I would say that the machine should be very durable given the environment it is being used in.� Coufal said he and his research team are collaborating with a commercial farm to conduct a field trial of the machine. “They are treating thousands of eggs per day with the machine, and they are going to track how many rotten eggs they get through the hatchery over a course of several months,� Coufal said. “Hopefully, over about, a sixmonth period, they are going to generate a very large data set, proving its efficacy.� Depending on the field trial data, Coufal estimated his machine will be ready for commercialization within the next year. “Once we get that information and we are satisfied that it is going to work in a commercial setting as it should, then we will be ready to commercially mass produce,� Coufal said.

Cannon said while Manziel was originally scheduled to speak at the press conference, he decided with Cannon that it was in his best interest not to attend. Sumlin said Manziel will be available to the media in the future. While an investigation looms over him, Sumlin said Manziel will practice with the team as usual. “He’ll get as many reps as he was going to get yesterday,” Sumlin said. Monday afternoon at the team’s first fall practice, Manziel looked loose — smiling, joking with coaches and teammates. He appeared back in his natural element: the football fields. “When Johnny’s with us and we’re on the field, we’re in the film room, he’s focused,” offensive coordinator Clarence McKinney said. “He takes care of business, he wants to win. One of his biggest attributes is he hates to lose more than he wants to win. He hasn’t shown us anything different.” Sumlin was asked if Manziel would play if an investigation continues through the Aug. 31 season opener or further into the regular season.

“There’s a lot of people involved in that decision,” Sumlin said. “I’m not here to speculate on what could happen or will happen.” Manziel’s teammates spoke about the news but emphasized the excitement of getting back on the playing field. “I haven’t spoken to him but, as a team, nothing is different,” said senior running back Ben Malena. “We went out last night for our team function and everything was fine.” Manziel’s favorite target en route to winning the Heisman Trophy was receiver Mike Evans, who said he “didn’t pay any mind” to the Manziel news Sunday. Senior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr. said the team was ready to get back on the playing field to escape the offseason news. “I feel like on that field all our worries will be gone,” he said. “We’ll get the music cranked up, Coach Sumlin out there with his shades. I’m sure everybody’s ready to get back to doing what we love doing. We’re ready to do what we love to do.”
