For one showing only on Wednesday night, eighth graders will be welcome to see the R-rated film "Eighth Grade" for free at select theaters across the country. Unfortunately for Houstonians, the only place in Texas participating is the Alamo Drafthouse … [Read more...] about Free Austin screening of ‘Eighth Grade’ for eighth graders Wednesday
Austin starts fresh with Cowboys
OXNARD, Calif. -- Tavon Austin never really had a fresh start with a new coach in Los Angeles because of a wrist injury that plagued him and a hamstring that popped before the last of five disappointing seasons with the Rams. The eighth overall pick in the 2013 draft believes the opportunity has arrived through a trade to the Dallas Cowboys and the health that Austin hoped would come with it. Having something to prove is nothing new for the 5-foot-8 hybrid receiver/returner/runner. "There's always going to be a chip on my shoulder, No. 1 because I've always been small," Austin said. "I had the same thing coming out, when I went No. 8. So the chip's always going to be there regardless. But last year was a little hard, my injury and I didn't get a fair chance over there."

Was the founder of Dallas really buried in a unmarked grave in Austin?
While some have reported Bryan was committed for alcoholism, this was likely only part of the reason. Bryan had "steadfastly held to sobriety" in his twilight years, the son of one of Bryan's closest friend said, so the founder's fits were more likely attributable to the infirmities brought on from years of drinking combined with dementia."Having today examined Mr John Neely Bryan as to lunacy — I am of the opinion that he is demented, his condition being that of imbecility," Dr. J. W. Childers said at the time. "The cause is most probably intemperance and age."Bryan spent less than 7 months at the asylum, living alongside men and women committed for everything from syphilis to schizophrenia, behaving promiscuously to bouncing checks. During his confinement, patients were still buried on the grounds, said historian Sarah Sitton, who wrote a book on the asylum, and it's likely he would have been able to see the … [Read more...] about Was the founder of Dallas really buried in a unmarked grave in Austin?
