Mother Nature was set to deal a cold hand overnight. And it’s predicted to continue over the next few days, with today’s forecast looking to be more treacherous than anticipated, meteorologists at the National Weather Center in Norman said. Forecasters estimated a total snowfall of eight to 10 inches in the Norman area and up to a foot in northern

Oklahoma, meteorologist Lamont Bain said. Light freezing rain was predicted for Monday night, transitioning to snow overnight. On top of heavy snowfall anticipated this morning, winds were estimated to reach 30 to 35 miles per hour, Bain said. “Wind is going to be an important component of this storm,” Bain said, adding that the gusts could bring snow drifts of three to five feet. “This, • See WEATHER Page A3

City manager headed Slaughterville to Washington D.C. family escapes burning home By Andrew Knittle Transcript Staff Writer

City Manager Steve Lewis will address chromium-6 in Norman’s drinking water before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on Wednesday morning in Washington D.C. Lewis will be on a panel that includes representatives from water supplies in Virginia and Wisconsin and a public health professor from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Ken Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group, will be on Lewis’ panel as well. In December 2010, the EWG released a study that showed Norman had the highest levels of chromium-6 in

its drinking water compared with 34 other cities. The study showed that Norman’s drinking water had chromium-6 levels of 12.9 parts per billion. Since the study was released, the Environmental Protection Agency has offered guidance to those water supplies with high levels of chromium-6 and the city of Norman has formed two groups to tackle the problem. Lewis was invited to address the Senate committee by Sen. Jim Inhofe, ROkla. Matt Dempsey, Inhofe’s spokesman, said the hearing is a chance for lawmakers to “hear from the experts” and those involved in the current chromium-6 debate. • See WATER Page A3

He said the injured were taken to Norman Regional Hospital for injuries suffered in the fire.

OU establishing institute to study water, sustainability • Corix Institute will be led by national expert Transcript Staff The University of Oklahoma is establishing an institute for water and sustainability in the hopes that the university's research expertise can benefit Oklahoma, the rest of the nation and emerging nations fo the world, according to OU President David L. Boren. According to a news release, the Corix Institute will be led by a national expert, who will be appointed to an endowed faculty position funded by a $2 mil-

lion gift from Corix, a multiutility infrastructure company with a long-standing relationship with OU. The institute will include the new Oklahoma Water Survey patterned on the Oklahoma Geological Survey, which is also housed at OU. “The formation of the Corix Institute was guided by the importance of understanding and managing water in all its dimensions,” Boren said. “The demand for water to sustain life and the economy as well as for its natural beauty presents challenges for many organizations involved in its protection and management. The Corix Institute seeks to bring together experts from many disciplines to understand the

complexity of this precious natural resource and to provide research and data for leaders to make informed decisions regarding its conservation and use.” The Corix Institute, which will be located within the National Weather Center, will consist of three programs: the established Water Technologies for Emerging Regions Center; the Oklahoma Water Survey, a new program that will be created; and a future program focused upon water and sustainability in critical regions. The institute will be led by an established expert to be identified in a national search. In the interim, Paul Risser, chairman and chief operating officer of OU’s

Cleveland Co. issues burn ban By Peggy Laizure Transcript Staff Writer

Cleveland County has joined several surrounding counties and is now under a 30-day burn ban. County emergency director Dan Cary told county commissioners Monday morning that the county meets the criteria. The four criteria are: • Extreme drought • No more than one-half inch of moisture in the next 3-day forecast • Fire significance higher than normal • Majority of fire department chiefs require a ban

Cary said many of the recent wildfires were because a “controlled burns got out of hand.” In other business, commissioners asked Assistant District Attorney David Batton to begin condemnation court proceedings to obtain a lien waiver from Wells Fargo for an easement to allow the widening and straightening of Etowah Road. Commissioners also will solicit bids for the demolition and removal of county buildings on Eufaula Street. The property was used for child support services and building maintenance.

Prosecutors filed additional charges of seconddegree rape by instrumentation, unlawful possession of firearm and possession of a firearm/weapon commission felony. Purkey is standing trial in District Judge Lori A. Walkley’s courtroom.

Research Cabinet, will guide the institute’s activities. Water Technologies for Emerging Regions Center conducts extensive international research, using innovative technologies to provide clean water and better sanitation to emerging regions of the world. Led by OU Professor David Sabatini, this program has achieved international recognition and provides outstanding learning

experiences for OU students, who work throughout the world as well as in some areas of the United States. The Oklahoma Water Survey will be modeled after the University’s four existing natural resource surveys: the Archeological, Biological, Climatological and Geological surveys. The Water Survey will serve as the focal point within the University to bring together experts in

water research from multiple disciplines. The Survey also will serve as a contact point for collaborating with all those people, organizations, agencies and municipalities external to the University who want to tap into the expertise and the waterrelated data and information. The search for the director of the Oklahoma Water Survey will begin within the year.

Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — A state appeals court has rejected an appeal by a Cuban immigrant sentenced to die for the 2003 shooting death of his common-law wife. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday rejected the request for a new trial by 54-year-old Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez. Cuesta-Rodriguez had argued his death sentence should be thrown out because his attorneys failed to locate a witness who could have testified to his troubled childhood in Cuba. He also argued he should not be sentenced to death because he was mentally ill. Prosecutors contend Cuesta-Rodriguez shot 47year-old Olimpia Cardina Fisher in the eye at their southwest Oklahoma City home, then waited about eight minutes before firing the fatal shot into the other eye. A telephone message left with Cuesta-Rodriguez’s public defender was not immediately returned.

released from Norman Regional Hospital. Firefighters from the Cedar County Fire Department also battled the fire. There are no hydrants in the area when the fire started. Crews shuttled in water about five miles in tanker trucks. Fire investigators are looking into the fire, Long said. It appears to be accidental. Crews stayed at the scene for about four hours. “They wrapped up and left somewhere around 5:30 this morning,” he said. Long said several household pets died in the blaze.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A Meeker woman sentenced to 27 years in prison for the child abuse death of her 2-year-old daughter is not entitled to a new trial, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled on Monday. Raye Dawn Smith, 31, was convicted of enabling child abuse in the 2005 death of Kelsey Smith Briggs in a case that exposed problems in how the state handled reports of child abuse. Smith raised a number of issues in her appeal, including that at least one juror slept through the proceeding, that she had ineffective counsel, citing insufficient evidence to support the verdict. “We considered Smith’s sleeping juror claim in conjunction with Smith’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim and found that she had not shown by clear and convincing evidence that there is a strong possibility that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to sleeping jurors,” the court wrote in its 5-0 decision. The court also rejected Smith’s request for an evidentiary hearing.

Smith’s attorney Stephen Jones said he was disappointed in the court’s ruling and that he planned to appeal in federal court. “I think it was a media circus that permeated and influenced what was done,” Jones said. “It influenced the jury, the prosecution and the court. It was not the best day in the history of Oklahoma trials.” Kelsey died Oct. 11, 2005, at her home near Meeker after months of suffering broken bones, bruises and other injuries. Evidence indicated she endured repeated injuries, including a broken collarbone, broken legs and bruises on her face and body. Her death came four months after a judge returned Kelsey to her mother’s care despite accusations the mother was the abuser. The judge ruled the perpetrator was unknown. At trial, prosecutors alleged Kelsey’s stepfather, Michael Porter, abused the child and eventually sexually assaulted and murdered her and that Smith did nothing to stop it. Porter initially was charged with firstdegree murder in the case, but agreed to plead guilty to enabling child abuse in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence.

Taxes: Library offers assistance program • Continued From Page A1

assistance program is by appointment only, which can be made by calling 3294200. The Norman Public Library also will be offering free help for taxpayers during this year’s tax season. The library will offer assistance to individuals paying taxes on incomes of $40,000 or less through a free service offered by the OU College of Law’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

This program will be administered in the Computer Training Center from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays through April 14. Taxpayers will need to bring along W-2s, 1099s, last year’s tax return, a photo ID and Social Security numbers for dependants. The volunteers will e-file only and will not prepare a paper return. Assistance from the AARP will be available Mondays, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., through April 11.

The AARP service on Mondays will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The program will be held in the Computer Training Center of the library, 225 N. Webster Ave. The volunteers from the AARP are trained to assist low and middle-income taxpayers in the preparation of income tax returns. Those being assisted by the AARP should bring last year’s tax returns, W-2s, 1099s and a photo ID. Tax forms will be completed but not filed.

In addition to the assistance programs offered at the library, there also are numerous common tax forms in the north lobby (while supplies last). For more information about the library’s tax assistance programs, call Nelson Dent at 701-2679. This year, the deadline to file income tax returns is April 18, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Water: Congress panel set to meet Weather: Norman schools, OU closed • Continued From Page A1

Dempsey said Inhofe is concerned about what could happen if the EPA makes drastic changes to the amount of total chromium allowed in drinking water based on the EWG’s findings, noting that most public water supplies have limited resources that are already stretched. He said the committee wants to be sure the data revealed in the 35-city study is legit before sweeping regulatory changes are made. “They want to get the science right,” Dempsey said. “It [the EWG study] has not been backed up at this point.” In 2006, when the EPA lowered the amount of arsenic allowed to be present in drinking water, the city of Norman lost about half of its groundwater wells. The process to reclaim those wells has been costly and remains ongoing. Lewis said he expects to discuss “Norman’s view of the EWG report and desired assistance from EPA” during the hearing. He said the information gathered at the hearing will be used “to assess the national impact of this evolving matter and take whatever action the Committee deems appropriate.” Lisa Jackson, EPA administrator, and Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, also are scheduled to address the Senate committee. Dempsey said his office will post updates on Twitter regarding the issues discussed and that the hearing can be viewed online at epw.senate.gov beginning at 9 a.m. Andrew Knittle 366-3540 aknittle@normantranscript.com

combined with the heavy snow, will bring visibility down pretty significantly.” Ty Judd, also with the National Weather Service, said the anticipated snowfall would lessen by noon today. Bain cautioned against driving today. “If you absolutely don’t have to, don’t,” he said of road ventures. The Arctic chill will cause temperatures to fall throughout the day into the low 20s and upper teens. Bain said tonight and Wednesday morning will be particularly cold, adding that the wind chill will cause temperatures to dip to minus 10 degrees in Norman and in some northern parts of the state, minus 20 degrees. “It’s a very cold air mass,” Judd said, noting that the difference between the Christmas Eve snowstorm in 2009 and today’s expected storm is the temperature. Bain said Wednesday will be very cold, with forecasts predicting temperatures in the high teens. Outdoor pets should be brought indoors and faucets should be left dripping, especially tonight and Wednesday, he said. Bain advised people “winterize” their cars, stocking them with extra clothes, blankets and food. “If we do get three to five feet in snow drifts, any type of assistance will be difficult,” he said. Traffic Monday through Wright’s IGA Supermarkets in Norman rivaled the stores’ shopper-counts on Christmas Eve, said owner Larry Wright, who was sacking groceries Monday afternoon at the Main Street location. “We’re swamped,” Wright said Monday, sounding out-of-breath, adding that the banana table was completely empty. “That’s kind of unusual.” Wright said most people Monday stocked up on food to sustain themselves a day or two through the coldest parts of the storm, along with rock salt and car window scrapers. On Monday, he said both the Main Street and

Porter Avenue locations plan to remain open today during their usual hours. Shawn O’ Leary, director of public works for the city of Norman, said the city on Friday began checking equipment and confirming it would be ready to operate in the upcoming storm. “We’re in great condition to fight any storm,” he said. O’Leary said the 12hour, inclement weather shifts would begin Monday evening. “Beginning at 8 p.m., we will be staffed 24 hours a day throughout the event,” O’Leary said. Crews began pre-treating roads and bridges between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday. O’Leary said the city primarily uses road salt, but sand is also used if needed. “As soon as it starts to accumulate, we begin to plow at one or two inches,” he said. The main thoroughfares will be the top priority. O’Leary said a snow route map is available on the city of Norman website at www.ci.norman.ok.us. Moore City Hall, Brand Senior Center, Community Center and all non-essential Moore city offices are closed today. According to a news release, water, meals, blankets and cots have been delivered to Oklahoma from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Industiral-sized generators to power some public facilities were also pre-positioned Monday. In a press release, Oklahoma Department of Transportation Director Gary Ridley said crews are standing by statewide to begin spreading sand and salt and clearing roads as the storm begins to hit. “We have crews in every county, ready to respond when the weather hits,” Ridley said. “In addition, crews in counties where less snow is expected will be on hand to help clear roads in other parts of the state.” OHP Chief Kerry Pettingill said all days off have been canceled for state troopers and non-uniformed officers are being pressed into service as well.

“Highway patrol urges people not to travel tomorrow and possibly the next day,” Pettingill said Monday. “Additionally, we are working to make sure we have as many troopers available as possible to assist those who do travel.” DPS Commissioner Michael C. Thompson said state services will be reduced in the seven metro counties as state employees have been urged to remain at home. OEM Director Albert Ashwood said that due to the approaching winter storm, the State Emergency Operations Center is activated and officials with the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management are working with numerous emergencyresponse-and-recovery partners in advance of threatened impacts. Officials said recovery efforts will be affected by the weather and citizens can help by staying home. Norman Regional Health System spokesperson Kelly Wells said Norman Regional Hospital, Moore Medical Center and the Norman Regional HealthPlex were prepared in case the winter storm brought extra patients to the hospital. “We have plans in place to deal with emergency situations, including weather events,” Wells said. Officials at Embassy Suites in Norman said the hotel is equipped to serve area residents left without power. According to a news release, the hotel has back-up generators and food services available. Pets are welcome, too. A discounted snow rate has been established. Reservations can be booked by calling 364-8040. Public schools in Norman, Moore, Noble, Little Axe, Washington, Purcell and Lexington are closed today. All University of Oklahoma campuses are closed today. Cleveland Area Rapid Transit buses and assistance vans will not be running today. According to a news release, all University of Oklahoma Physicians Clinics and OU Children’s

Andrew Knittle 366-3540 aknittle@normantranscript.com

Physicians clinics are closed today. This includes clinics at the OU Health Sciences Center and clinics in Edmond, Norman and other Oklahoma City locations. Area shelters are also preparing for the winter weather. Ashley Jones, the director of social services and disaster services for the Central Oklahoma Area Command, said the Norman Salvation Army, 318 E. Hayes St., will be ready to accommodate extra guests with cots and mats during the cold. She said doors will remain open at all times and that the facility is fully stocked and ready for inclement weather. “We take every measure available not to turn people away,” she said. “We urge anyone seeking shelter to come to The Salvation Army Norman.” Food and Shelter Inc., 104 W. Comanche St., had not announced whether it would be open by presstime Monday, saying that decision was dependent on whether Norman Public Schools were closed. The kitchen, however, will stay open, said office manager Becky Hughes. Hughes said breakfast and lunch would be served at the center today. “They probably will keep the dining area open in the afternoon just for people to hang out,” Hughes said. The Cleveland County Courthouse closed 5 p.m. Monday. It was set to reopen noon today, weather permitting. The Cleveland County Republican Party luncheon is canceled. It has been rescheduled for Feb. 8. Rose State College’s home school symposium, originally scheduled for Wednesday, has been moved to March 1. The annual meeting of the National Weather Museum and Science Center has been postponed until Feb. 22 due to weather, according to a news release. The rescheduled meeting will be at the National Weather Center in room 1350.

Our view • CHROMIUM 6

Manager goes to Washington to talk about Norman’s water City manager Steve Lewis will take Norman’s chromium 6 in the tap water issue to Capitol Hill this week. He’ll speak to the Senate’s Committee on the Environment and Public Works as a guest of Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the panel’s ranking committee member. Norman has become the poster city for the Environmental Working Group’s tapwater study. Our measured levels of the potential carcinogen chromium 6 were the highest in a sampling of 35 selected cities. But those 35 cities weren’t drawn with a dart and a map on the wall. EWG selectively chose cities that had been reporting relatively high

levels of chromium in their water. It appears to be part of a campaign to establish a chromium 6 maximum for California public water systems. Norman’s tap water is a blend of Lake Thunderbird surface water, well water drawn from the Garber Wellington aquifer and limited amounts of Oklahoma City’s treated water on high-volume demand days. The well water is piped directly into the city’s distribution network and doesn’t go through the treatment plant. A sample taken near a wellhead would presumably have a higher chromium content than one taken near the treatment plant.

• SALES TAXES

Another tax collector?

Oklahoma cities and towns derive a good portion of their operating revenues from sales taxes. Retail and taxed service businesses send those taxes into the state which collects its share and then sends the remainder — less its fee — back to the cities. But cities can’t collect their own taxes and can’t go after delinquent taxpayers. That’s the responsibility of the state. Tulsa officials want to be able to pursue their own delinquent taxpayers. They

contracted with a third party to collect back sales taxes. Additionally, a Tulsa lawmaker has introduced legislation allowing cities to take on the collection of taxes themselves, removing the state from the equation. The private model may be helping the state to step up collections. A Tulsa World story quotes city officials as saying they received some delinquent taxes in November, the first month anyone could remember getting back taxes.

Economic facts immutable Editor, The Transcript: Bob Franken’s diatribe of 1/19 is typical of those exponents of the idea that the ogres on Wall Street were the sole instigators and causes of the recent economic distress we are now experiencing. This is an example of how one can arrive at erroneous conclusions by ignoring facts pertinent to a discussion. One can arrive at causes for any happening, adverse or good, by conveniently, or from ignorance, ignoring basic facts. There are some basic facts about economics that are immutable; one is that of the inner actions of supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand, prices go down; when demand exceeds supply, prices go up. Couple this with the entrepreneur’s natural quest for profit and you have the unforgiving philosophy of “let the buyer beware.” Allowing human nature to run rampant results in overreaching one’s purchasing limit and thus pushing one’s resources beyond the breaking point causes the populace to be forced to curtail their purchases. A populace, ignoring

these laws of nature, is bound to become preys to the ogres of Wall Street. These ogres are people, too. They want to get as much as possible and as quick as possible. In their zeal they encourage the populace to over spend. Over spending eventually leads to a steep drop in demand as resources, credit, dries up. Factories are shut down and people are thrown out of work and we have an economic downturn. Blaming only the business community for doing “what comes naturally” is simply playing into the fears of the many people who are now out of work. A long term solution to these events is to begin a program to educate the populace on the facts of economic life. Avoiding the temptations which are the natural blandishments of business people and being more conservative about their spending habits would go a long way in mitigating, if not eliminating, down turns. Economic crashes could be exacerbated if economic bubbles were eliminated. JOHN D. BAUGHER Norman

States should have bankruptcy option By Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich Los Angeles Times

During the 2008 financial crisis, the federal government reacted in a frantic, ad-hoc fashion, tapping taxpayers for bailouts galore, running roughshod over the rights of bondholders and catching the American people unaware and unprepared. In contrast, we still have time to prepare for the looming crisis threatening to engulf California, Illinois, New York and other state governments. The new Congress has the opportunity to prepare a fair, orderly, predictable and lawful approach to help struggling state governments address their financial challenges without resorting to wasteful bailouts. This approach begins with a new chapter in the federal Bankruptcy Code that provides for voluntary bankruptcy by states, a proven option already available to all cities and towns across America. The figures for next year’s budgets are staggering. California, which faces a $25.4 billion budget shortfall, will pay $100,000-plus pensions to more than 12,000 state and municipal retirees this year. A Stanford study puts the state’s unfunded pension obligations at more than half a trillion dollars. Illinois has a $15 billion budget deficit, prompting its governor and lame-duck legislature to hike its personal income tax rate by 66 percent. New York, where 73 percent of the government workforce is unionized, is staring at a $10 billion deficit. There has been an organized federal bankruptcy process for municipalities since the 1930s, and a handful of cities, towns and counties — most notably California’s Orange County in 1994 — have gone through municipal bankruptcy and put their fiscal houses in order. A bankruptcy option for the states would look very similar to Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy, with some necessary modifications. First, as with municipal bankruptcy, it would have to be completely voluntary. This means that neither the federal government nor state creditors could push an unwilling

state into bankruptcy, no matter how catastrophic the state’s finances may be, as this would violate the U.S. Constitution’s protection for a state’s sovereign immunity. Second, as with municipal bankruptcy, a new bankruptcy law would allow states in default or in danger of default to reorganize their finances free from their union contractual obligations. In such a reorganization, a state could propose to terminate some, all or none of its government employee union contracts and establish new compensation rates, work rules, etc. The new law could also allow states an opportunity to reform their bloated, broken and underfunded pension systems for current and future workers. The lucrative pay and benefits packages that government employee unions have received from obliging politicians over the years are perhaps the most significant hurdles for many states trying to restore fiscal health. Third, the new law should allow for the restructuring of a state’s debt and other contractual obligations. In a voluntary bankruptcy scenario, states, like municipalities, will have every incentive to file a reorganization plan that protects state bondholder claims and their ultimate recovery. States will evaluate their future access to bond markets and their prospective borrowing rates as they formulate the optimal restructuring plan. When California refused to bail out Orange County, the county entered bankruptcy and emerged within 18 months. Within three years, the county returned to an investment grade rating, and it repaid 100 percent of the principal of the vast majority of its investors by 2000 without raising taxes. The lesson is that voluntary bankruptcy offers taxpayers the option to restructure state finances responsibly to achieve long-term fiscal health — which can only improve California’s bond rating since it is the worst in the nation — instead of simply having to accept the Sacramento solution of another tax increase. Fourth, the federal judge reviewing the state’s reorganization

plan would have the power only to accept the plan as permissible under the federal bankruptcy law, or reject it as inconsistent with that law. Just as with municipal bankruptcy, this new law for states must explicitly forbid any federal judge from mandating a tax hike or carrying out any other government function. Fifth, the new law should provide for triggering mechanisms to initiate the bankruptcy process that respect the sovereignty of the people of a state. A state legislature acting by a majority vote, with the governor, would fit this test. The new federal bankruptcy law should also allow those states that provide for the right of initiative, like California, to put the question to voters whether they support a reorganization of their state government under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. If Californians were given the opportunity to do an end run around the politicians in Sacramento and vote to reform their state government under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, it would almost certainly trigger a proposition fight. In such a circumstance, the proposition could provide that a yes vote would trigger the cancellation of all state government employee union contracts. Even if the proposition were defeated, the debate surrounding it would make abundantly clear to the people of California and the rest of the country just how much of a stranglehold government employee unions have on state and federal budgets. Federal bailouts must come to an end. Federal taxpayers in states that balance their budgets should not have to bail out the irresponsible, pandering politicians who cannot balance their budgets. Congress must allow a safe, orderly way under federal bankruptcy law for states to reorganize their finances. Jeb Bush, a Republican, is the former governor of Florida and president of the Foundation for Excellence in Education. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also a Republican, is the general chairman of American Solutions for Winning the Future. They wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

The new Mustang key

he new Mustang has a dual personality. Not the BLM’s millstone, but Ford Motor’s snazzy new muscle car called “The Boss 302.” It offers two keys. One key, the ‘limiter,’ uses sophisticated computer software to allow it to perform such as would be fitting and safe for Grandpa Tommy or your 17-yearold son. The second key turns it into Boss 302, a race-ready, hopped-up stock car suited for Dale Earnhardt — or a San Antonio cabbie. How many times have you wished you had two keys to your horse? It’s daylight. The crew’s heading out on a big circle. The ranch foreman is riding a quarter Thoroughbred buckskin that’s sixteen hands at the withers. He takes big steps. The Peruvian on the Paso Fino, the banker on the walking mule, and the neighbor on her Arabian stud seem to have no trouble keeping up. My horse is following at a pace equivalent to an ol’ timer doing therapy for hip replacement. He’s got his head down. The closest description to his gait would be

Baxter Black

“plodding.” Every five minutes, or when I can’t see the riders anymore, I kick him into a trot and catch up. They stop to let their horses blow occasionally, but by the time I reach them they’ve taken off again. It’s like this all day until we point our steeds barnward and start back home. Everybody else’s horse picks up the pace a little headed toward the corral, but mine suddenly is engulfed with the energy of a caffeine-addled muskrat in a squirrel cage. He’s jiggin’ and prancing, side passing, throwin’ his head, chomping at the

bit and whinnying like an Alpine yodeler. You are bouncing along, the reins tight, trying to have a casual conversation with the Arabian princess about the endurance of Arabians vs. the gas mileage of a Chevy Volt. After five minutes, she said that when she was young, she used to stutter, too. She asked whether I’d like the number of her speech therapist. After you get your horse unsaddled, you remember when you traded for him. You test-rode him in the arena, no problem. But down the road, you were eventually forced to accept his eccentricities — like being cinchy, not being able to pick up his hind feet and if you ever tied him solid, pulling down the porch roof or uprooting the hitching post. And then you remember the day you suddenly realized they didn’t name him because of his color. I’d never heard of a horse named Paint Shaker. What I need is a key.

Woman’s remains in state custody By Meghan McCormick Transcript Staff Writer

A woman’s remains unearthed from a shallow grave Friday in Norman are being kept at the State Medical Examiner’s Office awaiting identification. Oklahoma City police uncovered the remains in the backyard of 1100 Fountain Gate Court in Norman. The residence had been vacant. Oklahoma City police said detectives began searching an area around 1100 Fountain Gate Court in Norman on Thursday for the remains of a missing Oklahoma City woman. Angela Biggers, 48, was reported missing Dec. 8, according to police. She was last seen by a co-worker two days earlier. Police said Biggers’ body has never been found. An investigation led Oklahoma City police detectives to the address on Fountain Gate Court. Investigators received information that Biggers’ remains would be found on the property.

State Medical Examiner’s Office spokesperson Cherokee Ballard said investigators are waiting on dental records to begin the identification process. The Medical Examiner’s Office will be closed Tuesday due to the impending winter storm. Police said officers have arrested one person in connection to Biggers’ disappearance. Detectives issued an arrest warrant on a charge of first-degree murder for Biggers’ boyfriend, Ronald Seth Banks, 34, of Oklahoma City, on Dec. 11. Banks was arrested that day at a bus terminal in Fort Worth, Texas. Court records show Oklahoma County prosecutors have charged Banks with first-degree murder. He is being held in the Oklahoma County without bail. Police said Biggers’ 2001 Ford Focus was found Dec. 13 at an apartment complex at Southeast 15th Street and High in Oklahoma City.

Norman man charged in last week’s pursuit By Meghan McCormick Transcript Staff Writer

A Norman man arrested last week after he allegedly led police on a brief pursuit on Interstate 35 has been formally charged with the crime. Norman police said David Clayton Carl Duncan, 20, of Norman, was arrested Jan. 26 on complaints of eluding a police officer, carrying a firearm after formal felony conviction and driving with a suspended or canceled license. He was later booked into the Cleveland County Detention Center. Prosecutors charged Duncan on Friday with a list of charges relating to the pursuit and another alleged incident that happened Jan. 25, according to court records. Duncan was charged with felony discharging firearm into dwelling, attempting to elude a police officer and feloniously possessing a firearm, according to court records. He also was charged with misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct with firearm and driving with license cancelled/suspended/revoked. According to the charges, Duncan is accused of “unlawfully, willingly or intentionally discharging any firearm or other deadly weapon at or into any dwelling which was occupied.” According to a probable cause affidavit, police responded to the 1400 block of George Avenue on Jan. 25. A man told police he was watching television with his girlfriend and daughter inside an apartment when he heard a knock on the front door. The man said when he opened the door, a man tried to push his way through the door. The man was able to close the door, according to the affidavit. He said as he locked the door, he heard a loud pop and that was when he noticed the man shot a round through the front door. According to the affidavit, Norman police investigated another case involving firearms that were dis-

charged the same night in the 1900 block of Fillmore Avenue. Nobody was hurt in either incident. On Jan. 26, Norman Police Capt. Mark Braley informed officers there had been separate, but unrelated “shots fired calls” the previous night, the affidavit stated. “Furthermore, he informed officers that the description of the suspect matched David Duncan and a silver Pontiac Grand Prix was seen leaving the scene,” according to the affidavit. On Jan. 26, Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley said an officer spotted the 2006 silver Pontiac Grand Prix at about 7:50 a.m. Jan. 26 in the 100 block of 24th Avenue SW. The officer followed the vehicle as it headed west on Lindsey Street, then merged into the northbound lanes of I-35, Easley said. Police later identified Duncan as the driver. Police tried to initiate a traffic stop near I-35 and Tecumseh Road. Duncan failed to yield and increased his speed, Easley said. The car exited at Indian Hills Road, and Duncan stopped the vehicle. During the short pursuit, Duncan allegedly threw a gun out the car window, Easley said. Police recovered the firearm. He said Duncan had two passengers. Police questioned the passengers and later released them. According to the affidavit, Duncan admitted he was at the scene of the shootings; however he denied shooting the gun. Records show Duncan was scheduled to appear Jan. 26 in Cleveland County District Court relating to five felony cases filed against him in 2010, including charges of possession of a controlled substance, trafficking in illegal drugs, possession of marijuana and delivery of controlled dangerous substance within 2,000 feet of park and assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

In the near future, don’t be fearful of attempting to do things or of getting involved in career-related activities that you’ve never tried before. Two major qualities that will contribute to your success will be originality and resourcefulness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even if certain excellent trends and currents that are presently stirring are not totally visible to you, you’re still likely to unwittingly take advantage of these favorable financial influences. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Should you be going up against some prestigious individuals, don’t try to run for cover. Dame Fortune is inclined to side with you in situations where major issues are at stake. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take advantage of the good position you’re in to make adjustments to some shifting conditions that have been taking place. Use your instincts and experience as your guide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This can be a luckier day for you than usual, so devote much attention to something or someone who has captured your fancy. For the moment, focus on your latest interest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Let your strong desire to produce prevail and you might even surprise yourself with the success you encounter. It’s important not to be afraid to think bigger than usual. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t be surprised if your ability to absorb and catalog tricky information and facts are much better than usual. This is an excellent time to tackle the subjects you deem difficult. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - It can be one of those days when you tend to be more fortunate than usual, but not necessarily through your own efforts. Lady Luck can take all the credit for encouraging events and people to please you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Some of your biggest and best breaks are likely to come through teaming up with others, especially if your alliances or contacts are of a social nature. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although you enjoy socializing, your greatest enjoyment will be derived through occupying your time with productive endeavors. You just need to make sure that what you do is constructive and helpful. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - If you are given a choice of different types of social activities in which you can participate, select an outlet that involves a group that is lively and young in spirit. You need to keep it fresh. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be watchful for a monetary opportunity of a very unique nature to arise, which you can turn to your advantage. This can be a day for upgrades in your financial circumstances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It can be an extremely favorable period when it comes to enterprises or ventures in which you can participate, especially those that are spawned by your own fertile imagination.

Egypt’s army promises no force against protesters By Hamza Hendawi and Maggie Michael Associated Press Writers

People demonstrate Monday in Cairo. A coalition of opposition groups called for a million people to take to Cairo’s streets today to ratchet up pressure for President Hosni Mubarak to leave.

CAIRO — Egypt’s military pledged not to fire on protesters in a sign that army support for President Hosni Mubarak may be unraveling on the eve a major escalation — a push for a million people to take to the streets today to demand the authoritarian leader’s ouster. More than 10,000 people beat drums, played music and chanted slogans in Tahrir Square, which has become ground zero of a week of protests demanding an end to Mubarak’s three

decades in power. With the organizers’ calling for a “march of a million people,” the vibe in the sprawling plaza — whose name in Arabic means “Liberation” — was of an intensifying feeling that the uprising was nearing a decisive point. “He only needs a push!” was one of the most frequent chants, and a leaflet circulated by some protesters said it was time for the military to choose between Mubarak and the people. The latest gesture by Mubarak aimed at defusing the crisis fell flat. His top ally, the United States, roundly

rejected his announcement of a new government Monday that dropped his highly unpopular interior minister, who heads police forces and has been widely denounced by the protesters. The crowds in the streets were equally unimpressed. “It’s almost the same government, as if we are not here, as if we are sheep,” sneered one protester, Khaled Bassyouny, a 30year-old Internet entrepreneur. He said it was time to escalate the marches. “It has to burn. It has to become ugly. We have to take it to the presidential palace.” Another concession came

late Monday, when Vice President Omar Suleiman — appointed by Mubarak only two days earlier — went on state TV to announce the offer of a dialogue with “political forces” for constitutional and legislative reforms. Suleiman did not say what the changes would entail or which groups the government would speak with. Opposition forces have long demanded the lifting of restrictions on who is eligible to run for president to allow a real challenge to the ruling party, as well as measures to ensure elections are fair. A presidential election is scheduled for September .

Federal judge rules Obama’s health overhaul unconstitutional By Melissa Nelson and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press Writers

PENSACOLA, Fla. — A federal judge in Florida ruled Monday that President Barack Obama’s entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional, placing even noncontroversial provisions under a cloud in a

broad challenge that seems certain to be resolved only by the Supreme Court. Faced with a major legal setback, the White House called the ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson — in a challenge to the law by 26 of the nation’s 50 states — “a plain case of judicial overreaching.” That echoed language the judge had used to

describe the law as an example of Congress overstepping its authority. The Florida judge’s ruling produced an even split in federal court decisions so far on the health care law, mirroring enduring divisions among the public. Two judges had previously upheld the law, both Democratic appointees. A Repub-

officials declared that for now the federal government and the states would proceed without interruption to carry out the law. It seemed

evident that only the U.S. Supreme Court could deliver a final verdict on Obama’s historic expansion of health insurance coverage.

The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — When Irene Johnston turned 100 this month, she knew Meals on Wheels would remain a regular part of her life, as it has for years. But Johnston, a Clermont, Fla., resident with a sharp memory who appears decades younger, isn’t the one on the receiving end. Instead, she’s the one delivering hot meals, generally a meat-andpotatoes style meal with greens and a dessert, to seniors 40 years her junior who have trouble leaving home. “I love it,” Johnston said about bonding with the people she encounters who don’t realize how old she is. “There’s one little lady. She got a card from one of her children. She got a picture, and she showed it to me and she said, ‘Honey, when you get as old as I am, you’ll have pictures like that to look at.’” Like Johnston, many Meals on Wheels deliverers are as old or older than the people with limited mobility they serve in a program that feeds about 1 million people nationwide and is expected to be even more in demand as baby boomers age. Young people also volunteer on occasion, such as a teenage deliverer with the Osceola County Council on Aging. Still, retirees account for the majority of volunteers because of the commitment and timing involved in serving meals. Most programs, which receive funding from donations and government grants, hand out meals Monday through Friday mornings. That makes it difficult for people who work or go to school to volunteer. For example, a Meals on Wheels program organized for Orange County, Fla., residents by the organization Seniors

but you’ll need to use a vet in their network.

First depends on 350 delivery people — most in their mid-60s — to provide 1,000 meals a day as the call for the meals continues to soar. The same can be said for other Meals on Wheels programs across Central Florida, where hundreds of people are on waiting lists for meals. It’s a special treat for seniors who receive meals to be greeted by a young person, said Wilda Belisle, who directs the Meals on Wheels program run by the Osceola County Council on Aging. “The seniors love the young people,” Belisle said. “It’s the grandkids they don’t get to see.” She said the Osceola program has a number of young volunteers. One is 17year-old Ian Valentin, who volunteers every weekday. “Some of the senior citizens, they tell us stories of what they’ve done in the past and what they did for their life,” said Ian, an 11th-grade student from Kissimmee, Fla. “It’s really interesting. It’s a learning experience.” Logan Goulett, marketing coordinator for the Meals on Wheels Association of America, said volunteers often form a bond with those they serve. “They really create a close connection with them,” Goulett said. Johnston, who spent most of her life in Davenport, Iowa, and moved to Lake County in 2003, said it can be tough to lose friends she has made through the program. “You come in some mornings and they’re gone or passed away,” said Johnston on a recent morning as she delivered a meal of spaghetti and meatballs, green beans, bread and chocolate cake to 86-year-old Dot Huber of Clermont.

School closed, games off

BIG 12 BASKETBALL: SOONERS STREAKING

Different team

Area high school athletes will be left waiting today. Monday, Norman Public Schools announced its district schools would be closed today. That move effectively took high school sports off the table for both Norman High and Norman North. Del City was to visit Norman High on the basketball court, where the Tiger boys were to put their eight-game winning streak on the line. Also, Southmoore was to visit Norman North. It is unknown if those games will be canceled or postponed. This late in the season it is often difficult to make up games prior to the playoffs, which begin Feb. 24 for Class 6A. Though Norman was one of the first districts to announce Monday, by The Transcript’s press time, every area school district, as well as Community Christian School, in Norman, had announced it would not be holding class today, thereby the entire area high school sports schedule off the table. — Clay Horning

• Sooners have come a long way since losing at Waco on Jan. 11 By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer

Oklahoma gets its second shot at Baylor tonight, and much has changed since they met Jan. 11 in Waco, Texas. The Sooners have added confidence to their arsenal since that meeting three weeks ago. The team that hadn’t won a Big 12 Conference game since February 2010, has now won three straight. The team that lost 74-61 to the

Bears that night will also have its best player on the floor when OU (11-9, 3-3 Big 12) and Baylor (14-6, 43) tipoff at 6 p.m. today at Lloyd Noble Center. Cade Davis didn’t play in the first meeting. He was dealing with something much bigger than basketball that night. Around 4 p.m. that day, the senior from Elk City learned his grandmother had died.

around with an opportunity to win. They didn’t get over the hump against the Bears. But OU got something else out of that game. “We’re a family and we say we’re family,” Davis said. “They certainly presented that to me and acted like that toward me before and after the game.” The heartache Davis experienced in Waco wasn’t the first time a Sooner • See STREAK Page B3

Defense the name of the game • Huskers, others in league among nation’s best defenders By Eric Olson AP Sports Writer

LINCOLN, Neb. — This is the year of defense in the Big 12. Five teams — the most since the conference started in 1996-97 — are allowing fewer than 63 points a game, and just two are giving up more than 70. “Our league is guarding right now,” Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday. “Everybody puts an emphasis on getting

Mack’s long look offers fresh start • Texas coach says it’s ’97 all over again in Austin By Jim Vertuno AP Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas — After a dismal 2010 season when Texas went 5-7 and missed a bowl game for the first time in 13 years, coach Mack Brown had to do a lot of soul searching — of himself and the entire program.

He didn’t like what he found: a lack of energy, ideas and a lingering hangover from losing the 2009 BCS title game. “I had to go back first and look at me. I’m responsible for what happens, the good and the bad,” Brown said. “I do feel like I had a hangover after the national champi-

the top recruiting classes in the country, Brown on Monday declared himself and the Texas program ready to turn things around. “I’m back in the game,” said Brown, who is paid $5 million per year. “Full speed ahead.” Brown hadn’t taken questions from reporters • See MACK Page B3

Steelers know drill • They’re at home with hoopla By Dennis Waszak Jr. AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Howdy, Hines. Welcome to Big D. Hines Ward was ready for a rodeo of a week leading up to the Super Bowl as he stepped off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ charter flight when the team arrived in Dallas. Pittsburgh’s star wide receiver, who embraces his reputation as one of the league’s most aggressive — and some say, dirtiest — players, was decked out in a big black cowboy hat, a black sequined Westernstyle shirt, blue jeans, boots and a Texas-sized silver belt buckle. “I’m in Dallas, Texas,” Ward said, smiling. “I wanted to put on my whole cowboy outfit and enjoy it. No nerves.” He sure looked loose, and almost like a native Texan. Not bad for a guy born in South Korea who grew up in Georgia and has played in Pittsburgh for 13 years. “Where’d I find all this stuff?” an amused Ward asked, repeating a reporter’s question. “A little place in Monroeville (Pa.). It’s my little diamond in the

Being here, there’s a comfort level. We kind of know what to expect.” And, in Pittsburgh, titles are expected.

• Robinson tops again: For the second time in three weeks, Oklahoma point guard Danielle Robinson has been named as the Big 12 Conference’s player of the week. The league office announced the honor on Monday. Robinson, a 5-foot9 senior from San Jose, Calif., averaged 26.5 points and shot 50 percent from the field as No. 13 Oklahoma lost 8078 to No. 6 Texas A&M and beat Oklahoma State 82-77. Robinson scored 33 points in the loss to the Aggies but helped the Sooners rally from a 17-point first-half deficit. Against Oklahoma State, she scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half, went 10 of 10 from the free-throw line and had seven assists.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports Judge had been in and out of the Wildcats lineup this season. He played in 17 games, averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 15.2 minutes. Judge started 11 games early in the season but missed five for personal or disciplinary reasons. • Cyclone suspended: AMES, Iowa — Iowa State basketball coach Fred Hoiberg has suspended Calvin Godfrey for three games for violating team rules. Hoiberg says Monday in a statement that Godfrey will be eligible to return to the Cyclones on Feb. 16 at Texas A&M. No other details about the suspension were released. Godfrey, a freshman forward from Robbinsdale, Minn., is averaging 4.1 points and 4.7 rebounds this season.

The game against the Egyptian national team had been announced Dec. 13. In the last week, street protests aiming for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak have caused disruption in Cairo and Alexandria. “We were excited about the opportunity to play against Egypt, but due to the current situation all parties agreed it was best to cancel the match,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said Monday.

Meyer will call one game a week during the regular season and also serve as a studio analyst, the network said Monday. He’ll start with Wednesday’s signing day coverage. When he resigned Dec. 8, the 46-year-old Meyer said he wanted to spend more time with his family. He insisted on a conference call his new job wouldn’t get in the way of that, with minimal commitment during the offseason and travel only over the weekend in-season. “It’s a great opportunity to stay around the game,” he said.

Hill underwent elbow ligament replacement surgery for the second time in June 2009. He returned last September and went 1-2 with a 2.61 ERA in four lateseason starts for Toronto.

GM BETS ON SUPER BOWL

Former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach talks with reporters Monday in Dallas as Super Bowl week began in the Metroplex.

NEW YORK — General Motors Co. is back in the Super Bowl in a big way. The automaker will air five Chevrolet commercials during the Feb. 6 game on Fox, the company said Monday, along with two ads in the pregame show and one in the post-game show, which it also is sponsoring. GM also plans a tie-in with Fox’s postSuper Bowl “Glee” episode and will give a Camaro to the game’s most valuable player. GM wouldn’t say what it is spending on the blitz. But with commercial time averaging about $3 million for 30 seconds, it’s a multimillion-dollar investment for a company that has sat out the game for two years as it reorganized and emerged from a government-led bankruptcy.

Pitt: Comfy

Not even close

Bay Packers. “We’re going to embrace it all,” said Mike Tomlin, looking for his second ring as the Steelers’ coach. That includes all the hoopla that goes along with being one of the teams playing in the Super Bowl. “You step off the plane and you’ve got helicopters, you’ve got police, media and then this,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “If you’re not used to it, it could be overwhelming.” Roethlisberger is plenty used to this wild environment, and he has tried to take a low-key approach since winning his first ring back in his second season, when the Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in 2006. It was the same three years later, when he engineered a late comeback win as Pittsburgh rallied to beat Arizona 27-23. And, this all comes after an offseason in which he was accused of sexual assault of a 20-year-old college student, but a prosecutor in Georgia declined to bring charges. But, Roethlisberger was still suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. “We’re all human,” Roethlisberger said. “We all make mistakes, and it’s how can you bounce back from your mistakes? Just like a football game, you throw interceptions, you lose a game, you’ve got to be able to bounce back and find a way that it doesn’t happen again.”

Mack: He’s starting over with ’Horns • Continued from Page B1 since his post-game comments after Texas lost to rival Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night. His time since then has been spent looking for new coaches, watching a lot of bowl games on TV and evaluating the program from top to bottom. Brown had all of his players fill out a confidential survey of their thoughts on the program. He read them, talked to the players, then tore them up. He did the same thing after a 10-3 season in 2007 and Texas went 12-1 the next year and narrowly missed a chance to play for the national title. Brown promised a “clean slate” for everyone, coaches and players, and planned to treat the upcoming season

like 1998, his first in Austin when the Longhorns turned a 4-7 team into one that won nine games and went to the Cotton Bowl. “I told them I had never been so excited and that I was starting over,” Brown said. Brown sees similarities between the program in 1997 and 2010. Both seasons fractured the fan base, Brown said. He brought it together back then and urged Longhorns fans to do the same next season. “I thought we got splintered a little bit. It’s time to pull back together,” Brown said. “When everybody pulls for one, it’s a powerful thing here.” All positions will be open when spring practice begins, giving players who were unhappy last season a

chance to prove to new coaches they belong on the field. Veterans will have to prove they still belong in the starting lineup. Brown is also trying to refocus on team building and leadership, which was something Texas sorely lacked last season. Brown said he and his wife Sally had not been as committed last season to having players out to their house to get to know them better. “We’ve got to make sure our leaders step up and take over,” Brown said. The offseason turnover included former “coach-inwaiting” Will Muschamp’s surprise move to take the head coaching job at Florida. Brown dismissed rumors that he and Muschamp didn’t get along, but said the contract was probably a mis-

take because it constantly raised the question of when Brown would retire. Brown left it open-ended, but said he has no plans to retire soon. “Texas fans are going to have to put up with me for a long time,” Brown said. There will be challenges. Brown and former offensive coordinator Greg Davis spent 15 seasons together and several of the other assistants that left the program had been with him for several years. Brown said his biggest challenge this spring is making sure all the new coaching pieces fit as a team. “It’s great being out of my comfort zone,” Brown said. “It’s a great time for Texas football.”

League: All about defense in the Big 12 • Continued from Page B1 season. Tough defense also fueled third-ranked Texas’ 71-58 win over Missouri in Austin. The Tigers, the highest-scoring team in the Big 12, were held 27 points below their season average. Texas held Missouri to season lows in points, field-goal percentage (33.9), 3-point percentage (22.2) and assists (six). “It is no secret how they play,” Missouri guard Kim English said. “They are a physical team, fast to the ball and big, strong guys.” Baylor coach Scott Drew said defenses have become more sophisticated since he entered the Big 12 in 2003. No longer do teams rely so much on straight man-toman schemes. “Everybody has a different twist in what they do,” he said. “It might be doubling the post, switching, denying, more packed defense. It’s tough to prepare for every game because there is an

adjustment.” Last season Kansas led the Big 12 with a 64.2 point defensive average, and five teams allowed 70 or more. “I do think teams we’ve played defensively are better than they were last year across the board,” Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said. “It’s been very difficult to manufacture points and get easy shots.” Strong defense has always been Nebraska’s calling card under Doc Sadler. The Huskers have consistently ranked in the top half of the Big 12 under Sadler in scoring defense. Two years ago the Huskers were the only team in the league to give up fewer than 65 points a game. With Lance Jeter averaging almost two steals and Andre Almeida and Jorge Brian Diaz each blocking at least one shot a game, the Huskers (15-5, 3-3) already have matched their win total from a year ago and have won one more conference game.

The Huskers have held seven of their 20 opponents under 50 points and 12 under 40 percent shooting from the field. Only one opponent has shot better than 46 percent, and five have been below 30 percent. Sadler said some teams can get away with lax defense because they’re so good offensively. That’s not the case with his Huskers, whose 68.8 point scoring average is second to last in the Big 12. “We’ve sold the fact to our players that if you want a chance to be in most games, we have to defend,” Sadler said. Texas (18-3, 6-0) has held its first 21 opponents to an average of 60.5 points on 36.6 percent shooting, including 27.8 percent from long range. The Longhorns’ first six Big 12 opponents have managed 54.2 points a game on a combined 36.9 percent shooting, including 20.5 percent on 3s. Tristan Thompson, a 6foot-8 freshman, has been a

force in the middle with his rebounding and ability to block shots with either hand. He leads the league with 2.19 blocks a game. The Longhorns’ perimeter defense, led by Jordan Hamilton, is one of the team’s most improved areas. Texas assistant Russell Springmann said the players look out for one another on the defensive end. “That’s something special when you get a group of guys who are willing to cover their man,” he said, “and one more.” Texas A&M (17-3, 4-2) has limited nine opponents to under 38 percent shooting, and Khris Middleton, B.J. Holmes and Dash Harris are each averaging better than a steal a game. “It’s the culture you set from the beginning,” Turgeon said. “They realize to be part of the team and rotation they have to defend. You look around the league and most teams coach that way.”

Sooner athletic department monitoring As of Transcript press time, the Oklahoma 6 p.m. men’s basketball game against Baylor at Lloyd Noble Center remains scheduled, despite the forecasted winter storm. With the assistance of the National Weather Service, the OU athletic department is closely monitoring the situation and is in frequent contact with the Big 12 Conference. OU officials will meet again today to evaluate the situation and will keep fans apprised of any changes. The Lloyd Noble Center staff is working with OU’s Facilities Maintenance Department to ensure parking lots, sidewalks and entryways are cleared, salted and sanded sufficiently for the safety of fans and staff. — John Shinn

player has lost a family member this season. Earlier in the year, junior forward Nick Thompson lost his grandmother. Guard Steven Pledger, who scored 38 points in OU’s victory over Iowa State on Saturday, knew what both were going through. His grandmother passed away a few days before OU opened Big 12 play in 2010. He wanted to make sure Davis knew he wasn’t alone. “I knew exactly what he was going through. I just wanted to help him,” Pledger said. There’s a togetherness among the Sooners that last season’s team lacked. Since that game, OU is 31. The only loss was to No. 3 Texas. Victories over Texas Tech, Colorado and Iowa State have followed. OU believes it is now a tougher and stronger team. The adversity Davis experienced and the way his teammates were there for him is part of the reason. “When you go through a tough time and things that are really difficult, that’s when you find out who is really with you,” Capel said. “I know Cade has always felt that way, but when you go through something … it’s very difficult. “When you see outpouring of support, you see the good side of our sport.” Davis is averaging 15.7 points and 6.7 rebounds during the Sooners’ current

three-game winning streak. The scoring and the rebounding is something they could have used in the first meeting against the Bears. “I think, and coach will tell you this, I don’t think we played very well down there or like we have been,” Davis said. “Hopefully with the wins we’ve had and the confidence we have going into this game, hopefully I can contribute as much as I can and we’ll come out on the other side of things.” John Shinn 366-3536 jshinn@normantranscript.com

Alder on Bridge By Phillip Alder Darrin Weinberg said, “It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.” That is a good attitude at the bridge table. And this week we are looking at whether to win or lose trick one. You, South, are in four spades. West leads the diamond three. What would you do? North’s response of two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four or more spades and at least the values for game. Your jump to four spades announced a minimum opening bid. If you check possible losers, you will find four: two hearts, one diamond and one club. But you also have 10 winners: six spades, one diamond and three clubs. What is the danger? There is only one way to go down: East has the heart ace and club king, and West regains the lead to push a heart through dummy’s king. What would West’s entry have to be? The diamond king or queen. How can you make sure that card cannot win a trick? Play low from the dummy at trick one. East

will win with his king and probably return a diamond. You win that trick, draw trumps, and take the club finesse. It loses, but you have those 10 winners. Note that if you win the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace, draw trumps, and run the club eight, East will win that trick and should return a low diamond to his partner’s queen. Then West should have no trouble in shifting to a heart. How does East know West has the diamond queen? Because a fourth-highest lead shows at least one honor in that suit.
