Norman city crews continued to remove snow from city streets Thursday. The snow is being dumped at the old grainery at Acres Street and the railroad tracks.

Temperature to warm, then fall

By Nanette Light Transcript Staff Writer

The cold hand Mother Nature played most of the week is predicted to shuffle to a relatively warm one Saturday, with a high of 46 degrees forecasted as of Thursday afternoon, said a meteorologist at the National Weather Center in Norman.

But the possibility of another wintry system mid-week is stacked at the top of the deck, meteorologist Vivek Mahale said.

“Right now, that’s the system to watch. There’s still quite a bit of uncertainty on that track. There will probably be more winter weather, but we don’t know the specifics,” Mahale said of the numbing winter mix forecasted as of Thursday to come through the area Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Whether it will be freezing rain or snow, however, is unknown, he said, adding that it is too far out to read.

“There’s a chance we could see some snow accumulation, but there’s also a chance it could just be rain,” Mahale said.

On Thursday, Mahale said today, which — earlier in the week — was scheduled to reach temperatures above freezing, has a high of 26 degrees with a chance of some flurries.

He said Saturday is the “big melting day,” with another cold front and possible chance of snow predicted to blow through Norman on Sunday. But right now, he said the chance of any snow accumulation in this area isn’t likely, noting a

greater chance in the northern part of the state.

Sunday’s forecast, as of Thursday, anticipates temperatures falling below freezing into the mid and low 30s and upper 20s on Monday.

Mahale said drivers should be careful today, since single digit temperatures expected Thursday night could have refrozen the previous day’s melting.

“It’s so brutally cold, there’s probably a lot of slick spots again,” he said.

Norman Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey advised residents not to venture out on roadways today unless necessary, adding that while most of the main roads have been cleared by crews working day and night, snow drifts are prevalent in

many neighborhoods.

According to a news release from the city of Norman, crews Thursday continued to clear roads along the primary and secondary snow routes. Maintenance on residential school routes began Thursday.

The release states that the Senior Citizens Center, Little Axe Community Center, Westwood facilities, Santa Fe Depot, Historical Museum and the Sooner Theatre were open Thursday.

Norman resident, family delayed by storm

By Aaron Wright Gray Transcript Staff Writer

For Norman resident Jane Webb, salvation came in the form of a school bus.

After spending 11 hours stuck in her car, just after crossing the Oklahoma border into the state, rescue was starting to seem a dim hope when the Oklahoma Highway Patrol came to gather about a mile of stranded motorists along a stretch of highway near Miami, Okla.

The motorists were then delivered to a Red Cross shelter at the First Christian Church in Miami where Webb and her parents spent the night and the next day until travel was safer.

“It was an interesting adventure,” said Webb.

Webb and her parents had traveled to Chicago for an audition for Webb, who is a theater student at Oklahoma City Community College.

The audition was during the day Monday. After hearing about the upcoming storms, Webb and her family jumped into their Volkswagen

Beetle about 8 p.m. Monday and tried to beat the winter blast home.

Snow had started to fall by the time they hit the Oklahoma border on Tuesday morning, but roads along the way had been passable. In Oklahoma, however, it was a different story for the Webb family.

“The minute we crossed the Oklahoma border, it seemed like the roads hadn’t been touched,” Webb said.

The family knew they would need to pull over soon in order to avoid being stuck. They were attempting to make it to an exit with better amenities when the driver of a semitruck in front of them hit the brakes.

The family stopped their car and realized they couldn’t get going again, just feet away from the exit they had planned on taking.

“That was the frustrating part — we could see the exit,” Webb said.

With only a quarter-tank of gas and no cell phone charger, the family tried to preserve what they had, turning the car off and on to stay warm and keeping one cell phone turned off until the other two had

died.

“We were so not prepared,” Webb said.

After numerous attempts at trying to reach the Oklahoma Army National Guard or Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the family was starting to panic. Then a member of the National Guard knocked on their window to check on them, promising to come back and retrieve them. But hours later, they were still in the car.

Then about 7 that evening, a member from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol came to pick them up in a school bus and took them to the shelter.

At the shelter, the Webb family received hygiene kits, free food and a cot to sleep on.

“They were really prepared. I’m so thankful,” Webb said.

Webb and her parents made it home safely Wednesday night, with new lessons under their belts.

“We learned that when it’s not safe, just pull over,” Webb said.

Several people were treated for falls and frostbite Wednesday at Norman Regional Hospital’s emergency department due to slick walkways and numbing temperatures, NRHS spokesperson Kelly Wells said.

As of Thursday afternoon, no storm-related injuries had been treated at Norman Regional, she said.

She said a couple fractures were treated at the Norman Regional HealthPlex as of Thursday afternoon and one frostbite case was treated at Moore Medical Center by that afternoon.

And doctors anticipate the number of people hurt from slipping on icy sidewalks could rise as more people venture out, despite below freezing temperatures and slow melting process, Wells said.

President declares emergency Transcript Staff The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Thursday that an emergency exists and ordered federal disaster aid to Oklahoma to supplement state and local response efforts for the storm that struck Monday, according to a news release.

The release states that the president’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, to coordinate all disaster relief efforts and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures — authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act — to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in all 77 counties in the state.

According to the release, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize and provide — at its discretion — equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent federal funding.

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak also issued an emergency order to allow licensed claims adjustors from other states to help assess damages and losses from the winter storm.

The order allows these adjustors to work in the state for 90 days, although that could be extended.

Tiger Mom tapped Norman North grad as tutor

By Doug Hill For The Transcript

By now, much of America knows who Amy Chua is.

The author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” has discussed her controversial memoir about raising daughters across the mass media world. She’s become the mother some love to hate because of her insistence on ignoring society’s obsession with cultivating young people’s self-esteem, among other things.

Instead, American-born and bred Chua has used a more rigorous approach to the education of the offspring she’s raising with husband and fellow Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld.

The Wall Street Journal’s headline taunted “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” and Time Magazine’s recent cover story promises “The Truth About Tiger Moms.”

The truth is that Chua had some help with her daughters Sophia and Lulu while writing her book. It came from former Norman resident Michael Cantrell.

You may remember Cantrell as I do.

The 2005 Norman North High School graduate could often be observed skateboarding around town and dodging the occasional brushes with police over appropriate skating venues.

When he got a scholarship to Yale University and left for New Haven to study mathematics, Cantrell was still sporting impressively long dreadlocks and a massive auburn beard.

“I had a grant to do research between my sophomore and junior years, but it wasn’t paying very well,” he said. “I wanted to make some extra money, so I found Chua’s ad on Craig’s List looking for a math tutor.”

Cantrell had tutored University of Oklahoma students even while he was in high school.

Since he was a Yale student and Chua taught there, it was a natural match.

“I went over and met the girls, and we talked about what we’d do first,” Cantrell said. “Amy hired me, in spite of my hippie appearance.”

He found the Tiger Mom to be very friendly.

“Sometimes we’d all go out to dinner together. If I was over there tutoring and they were having a party, she’d introduce me to her friends and we’d schmooze afterward,” he said.

Michael Cantrell, who tutored Amy Chua’s daughters Sophia and Lulu, learns knitting from Barb Hill. utive, and Kathe, a family advocate and volunteer coordinator at Mary Abbott House — reside in Norman.

They knew he was a mathematics whiz early on.

“Michael has a gift for numbers,” Kathe said.

“Once as a toddler, he was helping me set the table for guests and he figured out how many we’d need of each item at the place settings.”

Currently, Cantrell is a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Illinois-Chicago and already has been accepted into their Ph.D. program. He’s teaching three sections of calculus to 75 undergraduate students this semester.

“As mathematicians, some are pretty miserable, actually,” he said. “The products of ... inner city public schools.”

Chua’s daughters Sophia and Lulu were 14 and 11, respectively, when Cantrell began tutoring them. He was with them every day for two summers.

“As students, they were actually challenging to me,” he said. “From Amy’s point of view, work with Lulu was more remedial. She’s fluent in French and Mandarin and good in Latin, but less into math and science.”

Even at that, the high school level algebra and geometry he was tutoring her in was not difficult for the child.

On the other hand, Cantrell described Sophia as being extraordinarily gifted in math and science.

They started out with precalculus and then moved on to the fundamental theorems.

Both Lulu and Sophia were students at Hopkins School, which was established in 1660.

Hopkins has grades seven through 12, and 21st century tuition is around $30,000 a year.

“Sophia asked her professor there a question about calculus, and he just didn’t understand,” Cantrell said. “It was a really good question about existence and definitions. I was able to answer it, but what she asked was just really impressive because it was the kind of thing a research mathematician thinks about.”

Because of Sophia’s insight, her tutoring was fun for Cantrell and he was able to move rapidly along in the subject. Preparation for their sessions together was minimal. It was invigorating intellectually, he said.

The girls’ father, Jed Rubenfeld, is a constitutional law expert with books he authored on that subject, as well as being a successful novelist. He is Jewish.

“The girls are pretty adamant about identifying themselves as both Chinese-Americans and Jewish,” Cantrell said. “Since we were together so much, we talked a lot about life, too, and not just mathematics.”

I asked about this crosscultural dynamic because of having been married to a Jewish physician-intellectual’s daughter for decades.

Also, in the ’70s, I studied Mandarin with Grace Wan, to whom her Kansas University students affectionately referred to as the Dragon Lady.

Coincidentally, Wan was a former Yale instructor and

the most demanding teacher most of us in her class had ever experienced.

There are close similarities between the Chinese and Jewish educational traditions. Both groups are tough customers when it comes to book learning.

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot because people have been asking me about Amy and my girlfriend, Ellie, is Chinese,” Cantrell said.

Ellie’s parents had high educational standards similar to Chua’s.

“There’s the conflict between rote memorization and thinking creatively,” he said.

Cantrell drew a connection between these two revered educational philosophies in one household and how it may have led to a fundamental disagreement he had with Chua.

“As a professional mathematician I didn’t think it was important for Lulu to be doing 200 copies of the same problem,” Cantrell said. “She wanted me to pick all the problems out of the book related to what Lulu missed one problem on.”

He found that, usually, Lulu learned the reason for her initial error well before going through all the book’s similar problems.

“I respected Amy’s wishes, but I’d use my own discretion at times when it was painfully obvious that the desired progress had been made,” he said.

Concerning the uproar in some quarters about Chua’s book, Cantrell thinks they shouldn’t ignore its subtitle.

“It’s a memoir,” he said, indicating “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” should not be taken as an instruction manual. “I actually read drafts of it while I was working for her. I was teaching the girls math on the backs of the drafts.”

He’s of the opinion that Chua wasn’t expecting the book’s level of controversy.

She’s had death threats and people telling her to go back to China.

“That’s frightening,” he

said.

Chua has never lived in China.

“Many people just have the wrong impression of this family,” Cantrell said.

“The girls are very welladjusted socially and have lots of friends.”

Cantrell thinks that, because of the present relationship between China and America, the debate Chua’s book has caused is healthy.

“President Obama’s State of the Union address with his ‘Sputnik Moment’ reference and the importance of math and science education make it particularly relevant,” he said.

The Chua-Rubenfeld family was curious about Oklahoma.

“They wanted to know about my childhood and parents,” Cantrell said.

“Lulu had no idea where Oklahoma was but, then, I didn’t know anything about Connecticut, either, before going to school there.”

Sports fans put their knowledge to the test

By Janna Gentry Special to The Transcript

Sports are communally enjoyed events. For most armchair quarterbacks, watching them on television, reading about them in the newspaper or talking about them around the water cooler is the closest they get to actual competition.

Unless, of course, you are flexing your sports knowledge, like many local residents will be today at the ninth annual Super Sports Trivia Bowl, hosted by the Heartland Baseball Classic.

Sixteen teams are expected to vie for bragging rights in a multi-round competition that will include topics like OU Sports, the Olympics and women’s sports at 7 p.m. at the Sooner Legends Inn and Suites.

The latter two subjects are perennially unpopular, said Sherri Rogers, Heartland Baseball Classic president and trivia bowl coordinator.

“When those events come up,” Rogers said, “ you can just hear the collective groan in the room.”

Rogers, a University of Oklahoma alum, started the trivia bowl as the head of the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau in 2002 as a fundraiser for the Heartland Baseball Classic. Rogers said she got the idea after working in OU’s Sports Information Department.

If you go • What: The ninth annual Super Sports Trivia Bowl, sponsored by the Heartland Baseball Classic, with Oklahoma football legend Uwe Von Schamann serving as emcee.

• When: Today, with dinner at 6 p.m. and the sports trivia competition at 7 p.m.

• Where: Sooner Legends Inn and Suites, 1200 24th Ave. SW, on the corner of Lindsay and Interstate 35 • Who: Anyone can attend. Admission is $20, which includes a catered barbecue dinner and door prizes.

She said they would receive calls all the time about sports questions. One of the most recurring questions involved OU football great Uwe Von Schamann.

Rogers said, “We would always get asked, ‘How long was Uwe Von Schamann’s winning field goal against Ohio State University?”

Because of the popularity of this particular sports trivia question, Rogers asked Von Schamann to emcee the event, a role which he has filled every year of the trivia bowl’s existence.

The competition was not held last year because of a change in leadership at the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau, and its absence was duly noted by sports trivia participants. After receiving pleas to reinstate the Bowl from various members of the community, Rogers decided to resurrect the event.

“We brought it back because, more than anything, people enjoyed com-

ing to it,” she said. “It doesn’t bring in a lot of money. It’s more about the fellowship and bragging rights.”

Participants don’t seem to mind the lack of monetary motivation, however.

Trivia bowl competitor Ed Frost, captain of “Team Hobart,” has assembled a team of brainiacs that has dominated the trivia competition for almost a decade.

After initially attending one of the events by himself, Frost, an OU alumnus and retired Russian language professor, contacted a group of friends to form a team. All of the people he contacted grew up in his hometown of Hobart — a small, close-knit community in southwest Oklahoma.

Though most of the members no longer live there, every year they come in from as far away as Denver and Kansas City to tangle with mostly local competition. They‘ve won every sports trivia competition since 2004, with the excep-

tion of one which they lost by one question in overtime.

The secret ingredient to their success might not be intelligence as much as it is good, old-fashioned hard work. Frost is a sports almanac junkie, and at the beginning of Team Hobart’s existence, he would e-mail questions to team members to get ready for the competition.

“We have been accused of preparing,” Frost said.

In recent years, he admits that he has slacked off a little.

“I thought ‘I wonder if this is necessary?’ I gave it up, and we won, anyway.”

Probably the highest profile member of Team Hobart is 1972 OU College of Journalism and Mass Communication alumnus Bill Hancock. He currently serves as the executive director of college football’s Bowl Championship Series (BCS).

Before his current role, Hancock headed up the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament from 1989-2005 and worked for three years in OU’s Athletics Department before that. Despite his credentials, Hancock insists that he is not the best member of Team Hobart.

“I am the only one that works in sports, so people think I am the MVP of Team Hobart,” Hancock said, “In reality I am literally the worst member.”

Hancock insists his reasons for participating in the trivia bowl are sentimental.

“This is a very small event and rather insignificant to most people,” he said.

“Because all of us (the team members) are from Hobart, it has taken on a different importance.”

Such loyalty is characteristic of Hancock, who still writes a weekly column for the Hobart newspaper, The Hobart Democrat-Chief.

Tom Collins is another competitor in the trivia bowl.

His team, “Team Taco,” has been runner-up for the past three years. He acknowledges the dominance of Team Hobart.

“Everybody wants to beat them because they are the best,” he said.

Collins said his team’s approach to preparing for the trivia bowl is quite different than Team Hobart’s.

“I went to a Thunder game last Saturday night with my team,” he said.

“Everyone had a beer in their hands, so I know they are ready.”

All of the proceeds from the Super Sports Trivia Bowl support the Heartland Baseball Classic, an event that hosts the best high school baseball players from eight different states every summer.

Admission is $20 for spectators and includes a catered barbecue dinner, door prizes and questions that will stump even the most avid sports fan.

Norman’s chromium-6 test results are back

By Andrew Knittle Transcript Staff Writer

Water samples recently collected by the city of Norman found levels of chromium-6 ranging from 10 to 90 parts per billion, Utilities Director Ken Komiske said Thursday.

Komiske said the findings were no surprise given Norman’s location and well-documented history of having heavy metals in its drinking water.

“Nothing has really changed,” he said. “We tested every well we have, we tested lake water, we tested the water after it was treated ... we covered it all.”

Norman water officials began collecting the samples after the Environmental Protection Agency suggested independent testing by utilities may be a good idea

to screen for chromium-6.

Currently, the limit set by the EPA for total chromium in drinking water is 100 parts per billion.

Four other cities that were part of a drinking water contaminant study released in December 2010 also have confirmed the chromium-6 levels reported by the Environmental Working Group, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit.

According to the EWG, water utilities in Wisconsin, Hawaii and Oregon confirmed the results revealed in the group’s study, which was released Dec. 20, 2010.

None of the four cities had chromium-6 readings as high as Norman’s.

In the study, Norman’s drinking water tested at 12.9 parts per billion — the highest of the 35 cities tested.

Komiske said that

Wednesday in Washington, D.C., EPA administrator Lisa Jackson said Norman residents shouldn’t “be afraid of drinking the water,” according to media reports.

Jackson also said the EPA will continue to offer guidance to water utilities like Norman’s, but the federal agency has said they won’t help financially if a regulation change is made.

City Manager Steve Lewis was supposed to testify at the hearing, but the snowstorm prevented him from making the trip to Washington, D.C. He did, however, send a statement Norman’s water to the committee for the safe, EPA adminis- record.

In the statement, Lewis trator says said he felt like the EWG’s During a U.S. Senate report “was designed to Committee on Environment alarm the American people and Public Works hearing as to the safety of their chromium-6 is an extremely common substance and that it’s found throughout the world.

He said the levels in Norman can be attributed to the Garber-Wellington aquifer (known to contain arsenic, chromium-6 and other substances) and are not the result of any other source such as industrial pollution.

“It is naturally occurring here ... it’s going to be in the soil, it’s going to be in your plants and it’s going to be in your water,” Komiske said.

“But is it safe to drink?

Absolutely.”

Temp: City under ‘slick street policy’ • Continued from Page A1 also was open Thursday, along with the Norman Public Library at adjusted hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Cleveland County Courthouse also reopened after being closed for two days.

The Norman Police Department continued to operate on the “slick street policy” Thursday, meaning accidents without personal injury were not investigated, according to the release.

Drivers are encouraged to exchange information with involved parties and remove their vehicles from roadways to avoid additional collisions, the release states.

Capt. Tom Easley of the Norman Police Department said as of Thursday afternoon, police had not responded to any injury crashes since 7 a.m.

Bailey said the fire department responded to several busted pipe calls Thursday and anticipates this number could increase as the temperature warms Saturday. He said the department will only respond to calls affecting sprinkler systems, so water could be shut off.

The Sanitation Division and Recycling Services operated on its regular schedule Thursday.

Customers scheduled for Tuesday services will have their trash picked up Saturday. According to the release, today’s regular sanitation schedule will continue. For additional information,

He said in the digital age, where information (true or false) spreads faster than ever before, more must be done to get a message through to the public.

“To accomplish the complete mission of protection of the public health, our industry must be able to communicate our message more effectively than those who would have our customers think otherwise,” Lewis said in the statement.

“America’s drinking water is safe, reliable and economical. And we can all be proud of that fact.”

Falls: OBI needs donors • Continued from Page A1

Transcript Photo by Jerry Laizure

While city crews concentrated on clearing main roads Thursday, some secondary streets remained slick with ice and packed snow. This car hit a utility pole at the intersection of Acres Street and Berry Road. call the Sanitation Administrative Office at 329-1023.

Bailey said if Mother Nature divvies the same cold hand next week she played this week, it could double the snow-clearing problem for the city.

“We don’t know if there will be flurries yet or how strong that system will be,” Bailey said. “If we get snow, then how much will determine what kind of problem we will have.”

Bailey said the city has plenty of sand and salt to clear another strong system, adding that the season’s warmer temperatures — until this week’s blizzard — meant the city had sup-

plies stocked for two storms.

Bailey said there have only been minor problems with city equipment to clear roads, and the fire department has been sending three-men units in brush trucks to respond to medical calls and stranded motorists’ cries for help, which have been fairly low.

“It’s all in good working condition,” Bailey said of equipment.

“Hopefully, we’ll get some good melting Saturday.”

Reporter Aaron Wright Gray contributed to this story.

“We encourage everyone to be very careful and stay inside until it all melts away,” Wells said.

Oklahoma Blood Institute has declared a blood emergency across the state as its supply has reached a less than one-day supply. Drops in blood donation due to impossible travel have tapped the blood inventory.

Many school and business blood drives have been cancelled.

“The need for donation is constant, since blood has a limited time for use,” John Armitage, M.D., president and CEO, said. “The last few days we’ve had very few donors across the state.

With a typical supply of three to five days, it only takes a storm like this to put us into an emergency status.”

Donors with OBI provide every drop of blood for patients in more than 150 medical facilities throughout the state of Oklahoma, including all metroarea hospitals.

“Presently, there are adequate supplies of blood to meet the needs of patients now at the hospitals we serve, but our projections for need and expected donors within the next few days cause great concern,” Armitage said.

OBI encourages all Oklahomans, age 16 and older, who are able to safely travel to donate this week. Donations take about an hour and can be made every 56 days. The Norman OBI is at 1004 24th Ave. NW, Suite 101.

Our view • POLITICS

Fund-raising campaign in governor’s race close The campaign to become Oklahoma’s first female governor was an expensive one.

Both Jari Askins and Mary Fallin raised nearly $4 million in their bids.

Gov. Fallin, who won with about 60 percent of the vote, raised a bit less than then Lt. Gov. Askins but that could change as more money may still come in.

Campaign debts are easier for winners to retire. The $4 million seems high but it’s not a record amount raised in a governor’s race. Brad Henry brought in a record $4.3 million in 2006 in his successful re-election bid.

Ms. Askins reported loaning about $1.12 million to her campaign.

Ms. Fallin did not loan

any personal funds to her campaign. She did receive some substantial assistance from the Republican Governors Association that spent more than $425,000 on television advertising intended to link Askins with President Barack Obama.

Gov. Fallin has also raised about $900,000 to pay for her inaugural ball and for transition expenses. Oklahoma companies have put up most of that cash although some individuals have donated.

Ms. Askins wasn’t the only candidate who put a lot of their own money in a race. Published reports show education superintendent Janet Baresi personally contributed $731,345 of of the $1.2 million she raised.

• UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

Some signs of improvement Unlike the weather of late, Oklahoma’s unemployment rate is beginning to show some signs of improvement.

The state reported this week that the rate dropped slightly in December, from 6.9 percent in November to 6.8 percent in December.

The Okahoma City metro area dropped from 6.3 percent to 6.1 percent.

Tusa’s rate also improved but it dropped from 7.5 percent to 7.4 percent.

Nationally, the rate

remained at 9.4 percent.

Cleveland County improved from 5.6 percent to 5.5 percent from November to December.

Beaver County in far northwestern Oklahoma lead the state with a rate of 3.4 percent in December, down from 3.6 percent a month earlier.

Economists say steady employment gains are necessary to sustain growth and lift the nation from the recessionary grip of the past two years.

Your view

Blizzard 2011 Editor, The Transcript: Somehow begin cooped up together on a cold winter day will test the boundaries of love and sometimes cause a brief border war, by that I mean you stay in your part of the house and I’ll stay in mine. It’s never stated, just common courtesy. It starts by “honey we need to take the dogs out so they can potty” at 5:30 a.m. “Oh yea honey we need to feed the birds and by the way while you’re out there nail a board up on the bird feeder so the squirrels won’t get so cold eating breakfast.”

For starters it’s not a squirrel feeder, it’s a bird feeder and we spent $30 on bird food not squirrel food. Being a good husband I just look down and do what I’m told mumbling a bit. She’s got more we’s than a baby pig. It’s still dark outside, snowing, wind chill below zero and I am working on a bird feeder. It was so cold my hammer was sticking to the nails. My neighbors think I am ready for the loony bin!

Inside at last, my honey has

fixed me some hot oatmeal for breakfast. I take the first bite and look up, my two dogs are looking up at me, they don’t even blink! It’s as if they haven’t been fed in two weeks. Their eyes are saying, “Are you going to eat all that?”

Later I hear a noise coming from my wife’s sewing room.

She was making snow booties for Sophie my Jack Russell.

Sophie was coming down the hall, she appears to have been stricken with polio, three legs out of four don’t work. She’s embarrassed for a squirrel to see her uneven gait, much less her snow booties.

Realizing it’s going to be a long cold winter day I said, honey I’m so glad you stayed home from work today, that wind is blowing so hard. She replies, “You don’t know what wind is until you’ve been in Idaho where I grew up.” Pausing I stated, “Yea I think I know what windy is!” She gave me that Bette Davis stare. That started the border war of the blizzard of 2011.

Return of the favorite son?

W

ASHINGTON — When the National Governors Association holds its winter meeting here starting on Feb. 26, I expect to see some initial steps in the 2012 presidential campaign. That three-day gathering will offer the first and best opportunity for the enlarged group of 29 Republican governors to caucus and confer among themselves.

The first thing they will discover is their own power. Despite some blown opportunities in Illinois, Colorado, New Hampshire and other states, the Republicans scored major gains, especially in the center of the country. Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa all switched from Democratic to Republican control of the state capitol. This additional leverage makes them a formidable force in the wide-open Republican presidential race.

In the absence of a clear-cut congressional favorite for the nomination, numerous governors and former governors have moved to position themselves to run.

Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, both of whom acquired useful experience and credentials while challenging Sen. John McCain in 2008, will almost certainly be back again. They may likely be joined

by Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Haley Barbour of Mississippi and now Jon Huntsman of Utah, who is coming home after serving as ambassador to Beijing.

The multiplicity of attractive and credible candidates makes it difficult for the governors to unite behind a single contender early, as

David Broder

they did behind George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, going into the 2000 campaign.

But there is another option — a favorite son strategy — that will preserve and indeed enhance their leverage. Favorite sons are candidates who run only in their home states, where their popularity makes them formidable. The strategy has not been used for years in presidential races, but it is particularly inviting this year.

There is reason to believe that Barbour, himself a long-shot possibility for the nomination, will exploit the respect he has gained among his peers as the chairman of the association to put forward the idea.

While Barbour is best positioned to put the favorite son strategy in play — and he has little to lose because several others would have to stumble before he could get a serious consideration — another governor will be more important in determining whether the strategy takes wing.

That is Terry Branstad, once again the governor of Iowa, decades after he finished his first long run in the job. An exceptionally skilled politician, Branstad is generally counted in the Pawlenty

camp. His support is the main reason Pawlenty is given a chance in the leadoff caucuses — even against Huckabee, the surprise 2008 winner in Iowa; Romney, who has invested heavily in organizing the state; and perhaps others, including Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House.

Branstad’s decision to endorse the favorite son movement and make himself available as the Iowa favorite would be seen inevitably as a blow to Pawlenty. But it could serve Pawlenty well in later states such as New Hampshire, where he could back the favorite son rather than campaign there himself with little prospect of winning.

Were Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who entertains hopes of becoming the nominee as a tea party favorite, to declare himself the favorite son in the often crucial South Carolina primary, he might well foreclose others from running there, and they would all avoid what could be a damaging loss.

Ultimately I cannot tell who of the current aspirants, or such future possibilities as Gen. David Petraeus, might benefit from a successful favorite son movement.

But it would preserve the governors’ leverage for the time that they might be united behind a single candidate. And meantime, it would fundamentally alter the dynamics of this intriguing, wideopen race.

Retirement promises not believed

H

OLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Egypt’s president Hosni Mubarak promised Tuesday to retire in September but the street protesters didn’t believe him and demanded that he retire right away. People in America understand their skepticism. We go through this every summer with Brett Favre.

Super Bowl Week began in Dallas Monday as corporate CEOs and advertising execs and Wall Streeters arrived to party.

Local clubs were reported teeming with strippers and teenage prostitutes. Charlie Sheen just asked to be transferred to Promises Arlington.

Martin Sheen sought conservatorship of Charlie Sheen’s assets Tuesday until his son gets well.

Why rock the boat? Anyone who makes $1 million a week working and spends $10,000 a night partying has what we call in Los Angeles, a disciplined saving strategy.

Hosni Mubarak supporters charged into Cairo’s Tahrir Square on camels Wednesday, hurling firebombs at protesters.

He refuses to leave. President Obama offered him asylum but he’s holding out for the Luxor in Las Vegas.

Egypt’s army was criticized by both sides of the Cairo unrest Wednesday for running away and disappearing when the firebombs began to fly. It works every time.

The Israelis fell for that trick four times in the last four wars and now the Palestinians are their problem.

Anderson Cooper was punched six times by Egyptian street protesters Tuesday while he covered their march for CNN. A lot of people naturally blamed the government for his beating.

It’s really his own fault for going in there thinking that only Westerners have gay-dar.

Egyptian looters were turned away from the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses by Egyptians who guarded the tomb by locking their arms. The world’s bestselling condom is named after Ramses, who had 700 sons. It’s the only condom approved by the pope.

Chicago was buried by a blizzard on Tuesday which closed airports and schools and highways. Winds off Lake Michigan blew 18-foot waves onto Lake Shore Drive in subzero temperatures. Rahm Emanuel was never gladder he really lives in Washington.

The Weather Channel reported St. Louis was socked in by a blizzard Tuesday. No one can remember such high winds in Missouri in the winter. Missourians walked outside the next morning and the newspaper on

everybody’s front porch was the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Bill Clinton was named Man of the Year by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals because of his public campaign urging everyone to eat vegan. He talked about how easy it was for him to switch to a meat-free diet.

All he had to do was eat at Taco Bell.

Senate Republicans introduced a bill to repeal ObamaCare Wednesday after a U.S. judge ruled health care reform unconstitutional. People are genuinely worried. If a president can order you to buy health insurance, the first lady can make you eat broccoli.

News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch launched an online newspaper for Apple iPad users.

He wields a huge influence. His Fox News Channel is so popular that reading the news from a Teleprompter was just added to the swimsuit competition in the Miss America Pageant.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize Tuesday by a Norwegian lawmaker. He leaked highly secret and damaging State Department cables two months ago but no one can remember what they were anymore.

America’s first line of defense used to be our missile system, but nowadays it’s Attention Deficit Disorder.

tial opinion leaders in our country in the area of national economic and social policy,” OU President David L. Boren said.

Krugman is the author or editor of more than 20 books, including “The Great Unraveling,” which was a New York Times bestseller.

His “International Economics: Theory and Policy,” coauthored with Maurice Obstfeld, is a standard college textbook on international economics.

In response to the nation’s current financial crisis, Krugman recently released an updated edition of his 1999 book, “The Return of

Depression Economics.” In this new book, “The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008,” Krugman asserts that the current worldwide economic crisis was brought about through several factors, including an increasingly out-of-control financial system, similar to those that caused the Great Depression of the 1930s.

In addition to winning the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in 2008 for his groundbreaking work on new international trade and new economic geography, Krugman’s

work in economics has earned him broad acclaim from the economic press.

The Research Papers in Economics project ranked him as one of the top 15 most influential economists in the world as of March 2010, based on his academic contributions.

Vegas judge’s son arrested in $1.5M heist

By Oskar Garcia

In this surveillance video frame grab released Dec. 14, 2010, by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, a bandit wearing a motorcycle helmet robs the Las Vegas Suncoast Casino.

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — The security footage of the man in a motorcycle helmet and a gun, dashing into a posh Las Vegas Strip casino and Carleo making off with $1.5 million in chips, went viral on the Internet. Now, after nearly two months, police believe they have their man — a former real estate broker who went bankrupt in 2009 and is related to a Sin City judge.

Anthony M. Carleo, 29, was arrested early Thursday after police accused him of being the bandit who grabbed the chips in the Dec. 14 brazen heist at the

Bellagio hotel-casino. Police had said they believed the same man robbed the Suncoast casino in northwest Las Vegas early Dec. 8.

“It goes without saying that as a father, I am devastated and heartbroken to see my son arrested under these circumstances, as is the rest of his family,” Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge George Assad said in a state-

ment released through a publicist.

Assad said that as a working judge, he couldn’t comment about “any pending legal matter as it relates to anyone, including my son.”

“I can say that as a prosecutor and a judge, I have always felt people who break the law need to be held accountable,” he said.

Carleo was arrested at the

Bellagio as part of an undercover police investigation, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press. The person declined to be named because he was not authorized to publicly provide details about the case.

Police spokesman Bill Cassell refused to give further details on the arrest besides saying it happened in Las Vegas.

It was not immediately clear whether Carleo had a lawyer.

Court records showed Carleo filed for bankruptcy in Colorado in May 2009, listing among his personal belongings a .40-caliber Taurus pistol.

The bankruptcy filing said Carleo received at least $19,000 from his father over a three year period, but owed nearly $188,000 in various debts. The case was closed seven months later.

The average rate on the 15year loan slipped to 4.08 percent from 4.09 percent. It reached 3.57 percent in November.

Rates have been little changed this year after spiking more than half a percentage point in the last two months of 2010. Investors sold off Treasury bonds during that time. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

High foreclosures, job worries and expectations that home prices will fall further have kept many potential homebuyers on the sidelines.

How can one overcome the anxieties of this world?

Faith Q&A

Power of prayer can ease troubled minds Pastor Raymond Davis Jr., Greater Corinthian Church of the Christ, Kansas City, Mo.: There are necessary concerns that touch our daily living that are subject to becoming an anxiety or worry. We do daily family administration of various kinds and even become subject to various temptations of the flesh that test our faith resolve. These all fall under the scope of anxieties that we inherit as a result of our living in the world.

Anxieties are pressure points that result when we become troubled in mind and fearful of our ability to handle the situation. The danger of anxieties is that the possibility exists that we fall out of the will of God over these concerns that have fallen into the anxiety stage.

Anxieties take many forms.

Jesus stood within the spiritual principles resulting in overcoming anxiety and staying in the will of God. Temptation is an anxiety that can take us out of the will of God. The Bible makes the bold assertion that Jesus “was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15b).

As Jesus stood in the power to overcome anxieties through prayer, so too are we encouraged to do the same. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Focus on what we can control in our lives Lama Chuck Stanford, Rime Buddhist Center & Monastery: The word anxiety is generally used to refer to feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness and dread. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said, “Why worry about something? If you can change it, you will. And if you can’t, why worry about it?” When you truly examine life’s experiences, you’ll find there are basically two types: those that you have no control over and those that you have some control over.

We often feel anxiety over those things in life that we have no or little control over, such as the economy, gas prices, terrorism, etc. Author Steven Covey calls such things our “circle of concern.” Rather than focusing our attention on those, Covey recommends focusing our attention on the things that we actually have some control over, like spending more time with our family, advancing our education, becoming more spiritual, etc. He calls those things our “circle of influence.”

An effective way to reduce anxiety is to reduce the focus on things we have no control over (circle of concern) and to increase the focus on those things that we can actually control (circle of influence).

If you focus on things that you have some control over, it means you are living in the present moment. Living with awareness in the present moment enables us to transcend both fear and hope and takes tremendous courage. It means committing ourselves fully to responding moment to moment with compassion, regardless of the situation.

Couple must get medical care for kids as part of probation

By Joseph A. Slobodzian The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Herbert and Catherine Schaible, the Philadelphia couple who practiced faith-healing as their 2year-old son died of bacterial pneumonia, will not be going to prison.

They will, however, be taking their seven surviving children to a doctor from now on.

Although the Schaibles, convicted in December of involuntary manslaughter, will have to commit what their church considers a sin, medical care is an integral part of the 10 years’ probation imposed Wednesday by Common Pleas Court Judge Carolyn Engle Temin.

Temin said she had “thought long and hard about this sentencing” and had ruled out prison. But she made clear that they must get regular medical exams and care for their seven children, now 1 to 15, until they turn 18.

Herbert Schaible, 42, who teaches at a school run by the fundamentalist First

Century Gospel Church of Juniata Park, made a brief statement expressing remorse. He said he “accepted the jury’s verdict” and asked for leniency. Afterward, he declined to further comment.

Catherine Schaible, 41, whose father is principal of the school, declined to speak before sentencing.

Bobby Hoof, Herbert Schaible’s attorney, said the sentence gave the couple 30 days to set up exams for each child with a “qualified medical practitioner.”

The Schaibles must schedule follow-up visits as the doctor recommends and must seek medical care if the children even get a cold, Hoof said.

The couple also agreed to submit to periodic checks by probation officers and to open their children’s medical records as requested.

Violating those terms could put the Schaibles in prison, Hoof said.

The Schaibles could each have been sentenced to five to 10 years in prison for • See COUPLE Page A7

Mankato fishing duo pays homage to outdoors and God

By John Cross McClatchy Newspapers

MANKATO, Minn. — As can be the case with most avid fishermen, making Sunday church services when there’s a good bite can be a bit of a challenge for Mankato area anglers Tom Brunz and Tom Davis.

Their participation in numerous fishing tournaments spread near and far during the open water months occasionally makes their attendance sporadic at best.

Sometimes, the anglers admit, their minister at Crossview Covenant Church in North Mankato even has good-naturedly

asked as he greets them on a Sunday morning if they’re new to the congregation.

Now deep into winter, their attendance to hear his sermons is more regular.

And as witnesses to their Christian faith, the two are spreading the gospel of fishing and the great outdoors to anyone interested in listening.

About a year ago, Davis and Brunz, who became fishing partners through their shared faith and a passion for fishing, founded Reel Faith Outdoors. The two anglers frequently fish as a team in the Full Throttle Outdoors walleye circuit, a faith-based walleye fishing tournament.

“It started out as Reel Faith Fishing, but then we figured we ought to expand it a bit. We wanted to keep it pretty informal with guys willing to share their knowledge in fishing, hunting and camping while getting closer to their creator.”

Tom Brunz “It started out as Reel Faith Fishing, but then we figured we ought to expand it a bit,” Brunz said. “We wanted to keep it pretty informal with guys willing to share their knowledge in fishing, hunting and camp-

ing while getting closer to their creator.”

While the Reel Faith events are grounded in Christian faith and the belief that the great outdoors is a gift from God, the meetings aren’t for proselytizing.

LDS: Will have webcast from Salt Lake • Continued from A6 session on Saturday, the Stake Priesthood Leadership Meeting, will be 4-6 p.m. Following that meeting, the adult evening session for members age 18 and over will begin at 7 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.

The third session of the conference, the Sunday general session for all members and interested nonmembers, will be 10 a.m. to noon.

During the first 15 minutes of the Sunday general session, business pertinent to the Norman Stake will be conducted, including the release of the stake second counselor, President Shad Satterthwaite, who will depart shortly for Afghanistan.

After President Satterthwaite’s release, a new second counselor will be sustained. The remainder of the conference will be a regional

conference webcast from Salt Lake City.

A cry room will be available, with the conference displayed. The Stake Center will have Spanish translation available in the Relief Society room during all conference sessions. American Sign Language translation will be available in the chapel during the Saturday evening adult session and the Sunday general session.

Couple: ‘We tried to fight the devil’ • Continued from A6 involuntary manslaughter and 3 1/2 to seven years for endangering the welfare of a child.

However, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said she was less interested in prison time than in the assurance that the children would regularly see a doctor.

“It was a fair sentence,” Pescatore said afterward. “It will be time-consuming, but the probation officer is really going to have to pay attention to make sure they’re following through with this.”

Hoof said the sentence sent a

clear message that “religious freedom is trumped by the safety of children.”

At the Schaibles’ trial, witnesses testified that for two weeks, Kent had fought what began as a cold, but progressed into bacterial pneumonia. The couple prayed over their son and thought he might be getting well.

But on the night of Jan. 24, 2009, they discovered Kent dead in bed.

They called their church’s assistant pastor, Ralph Myers, who joined them in prayer and then called a funeral director.

“We tried to fight the devil, but in

the end, the devil won,” Herbert Schaible told homicide detectives in a statement read to the jury at trial.

The Schaibles’ church considers seeking medical care to be a sin and a lack of faith in God. It does shun those who see a doctor.

The church’s teaching has at times put it at odds with civil authorities, notably in 1991, when a city measles epidemic killed eight children. Their parents belonged to either First Century Gospel Church or nearby Faith Tabernacle of Nicetown, which also espouses faithhealing.

Illegal religious structures sprout like weeds

By Mark Magnier Los Angeles Times

NEW DELHI — They struck shortly after dawn on a weekday morning this month, taking bulldozers, backhoes and sledgehammers to the Noor mosque. But the stealth tactics by municipal workers fell short: Well before they finished razing the building, 1,000 Muslim protesters had gathered, and things got ugly.

Across town a few hours later, the city’s public works department was busy again, this time leveling the Hindu Pushp Vihar temple. Followers clashed with police, devotees sang to the gods and protesters blocked a main road, sparking massive traffic jams.

Illegal religious structures are mushrooming across India, eating into sidewalks, schools, roads, even prisons, despite numerous court orders to check their spread.

Once built, they’re tough to remove in a country with strong reli-

gious passions and a history of communal riots.

“Governments find it difficult to touch anything to do with religion,” said Gautam Bhatia, an architect and author.

For days after the mosque razing, protests raged. The most intense confrontation came during last Friday’s prayers when thousands of young Muslims sporting skullcaps battered down police barricades, yelling, “God is great!”

“If we don’t stand up, they’ll walk all over us,” Bashir Ahmed said.

“They have no right to demolish our mosques.”

Faced with protracted opposition, city officials eventually announced that they’d consider rebuilding the mosque.

The exact number of illegal religious structures in India is unknown, but an estimated 60,000 exist in New Delhi, up from 560 in 1980, and a recent survey found 250,000 more in five of India’s 28 states. Built on public land without

permission, building permits or much thought to traffic safety or crowd control, they range from makeshift to decidedly elaborate.

Most start small. An illegal shrine may begin its life as a few ornaments and a candle in a tree.

Then a bench is added. Then concrete floors, a roof, a sleeping alcove.

New Delhi’s “ancient” Shiv Shakti Mochan Temple near Parliament is a case in point. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it started in 1968 as a birdhouse-size structure, said longtime neighbor Tara Singh, pointing out a backlit box wedged into the adjoining banyan tree.

In defiance of a Supreme Court order against expansion, it’s now 20 feet by 60 feet with walls, columns, marble floors, twinkling lights, a sink and life-size statues in glass cases, completely blocking the sidewalk. Each time city workers try to raze it, supporters quickly mobilize to fend them off, alerted by an aide keeping watch 24/7.

“We don’t preach,” Davis said. “We do close our meeting in prayer but other than that, we just happen to meet in a church.”

Brunz, a longtime professional angler who regularly fishes the FLW Walleye and

MWC Walleye tournament circuit, said Reel Faith has allowed him to share his years of fishing knowledge with others.

“I’ve fished from New York to Montana, to Arkansas and all across the Midwest,” he said. “This has given me the chance to share my expertise and help shorten the learning curve to help people with their fishing experience.”

Besides holding once-amonth meetings, Reel Faith Outdoors sometimes holds special events. Last summer, for example, Brunz and Davis hosted a group of senior citizens, including some who use wheelchairs, for a fishing outing.

Amazing how an experience 35 years ago found a way into my dream. When I had awakened, the memory of that moment was crystal clear and brought home a point. Let me explain.

That late, hot summer night in Effingham County, Ga., was just right for a young man with nothing to do and a lot of time to waste. The moon was so bright you could ride without your lights on and not pose a threat. So I was cruising in my 454 El Camino down a dusty, dirt road checking out life, the beautiful scenery of the country, listening to my radio, just groovin to the music. Then I saw the snake. Whoa. I immediately sat up. He was huge. I watched as this monster crawled slowly across the road.

Then, suddenly, I’m kicking down hard on the gas pedal and roaring over the snake. I wanted this evil serpent to die. I felt the satisfying thump as the tires ran over him. I stopped, looked in the rearview mirror, slammed the car in reverse and kicked down on the gas pedal again. This time, however, I didn’t feel that satisfactory thump. I slowed and kept looking for signs of the beast bruised, crushed and flattened but no sign of the dead snake. I put the car back in drive and eased up to where the first

contact occurred. Idling, I looked everywhere and intently listened. All I could hear were the massive songs of crickets, locusts, gnats and mosquitoes.

A thought occurred to me to open the door and take a closer look in the ditch. Just as I was pulling the door open I glanced in the side mirror and what I saw scared the freckles right off my face. There was that devilish snake ready to strike a deathly blow. Here was death curled up in the shadows of night. Waiting. Hungry. Eager to take me down. Terrified, I slammed the car into drive, hit that gas pedal hard and spun out kicking up enough dust into the air that it looked like a miniature atomic fireball cloud.

I was fleeing and getting as far from that creature as possible.

But I kept thinking, something doesn’t feel right, somehow that crafty serpent had slithered under my car seat and any second I would hear its evil serpentine hiss.

Now, I realize snakes have their place in the grand ecological scheme of things. But, so what? I still really hate snakes. I am sure many of you share in my dislike. Nothing makes me feel more threatened and completely rattled than coming across a snake. We all feel like doing what Moses did perhaps?

“The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.”

I’m with you Moses. Run. Yet, there is a reason why we have this built in selfdefensive/preservation reaction.

One verse may offer the explanation. Genesis 3:14: “So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals.

You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”

So, based on this, whether logical or illogical, every time I come across a snake I think of the king of snakes, the serpent.

My experience and dream provided an opportunity for God to drive an important point home. Something we can never forget. “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”

Revelation 12:9. Even though we do not see a literal snake there is one close by called the ancient serpent, the devil, who truly is death curled up in the shadows of night ready to bring down a precious soul. This serpent is relentless and never hibernates.

We need a supernatural force to help us stand against this evil.

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:13.

Are you surrounded by God’s armor? Are you easy prey for the Serpent?

City McCarty Center offers therapeutic yoga for children Transcript Staff The J.D. McCarty Center is offering a new group activity for children that can help enhance their breathing, balance and ability to maintain focus. It also can stretch their imaginations.

The center is starting a therapeutic yoga group for children with and without special needs who are ages 5 to 8.

The group will meet from Feb. 22 to April 5 at the J.D. McCarty Center, located at 2002 E. Robinson St. The deadline to register is Feb. 17, and the cost is $90.

Yoga mats will be provided.

The group will meet from 4 to 4:45 p.m. each Tuesday.

During the sessions, children will learn poses, while listening to stories and music.

To participate in yoga, children must have some physical control of their bodies. Poses can be modified to accommodate a child’s ability level.

The yoga group leaders are Angela Moorad, a speech-language pathologist at the center, and Chelsea Eland, a physical therapist at the center. The McCarty Center specializes in the care and treatment of children with developmental disabilities.

Moorad believes that children who participate in the yoga group will have fun and “learn some skills that will help them when they’re stressed in school or life in general.”

Through yoga, kids can

“It’s just another way of working on those same skills in a different way, in a unique way and more of a whole-body way.”

Angela Moorad, a speech-language pathologist at the J.D. McCarty Center improve their concentration and enhance their flexibility, strength and coordination, according to the Yoga Journal website, www.yogajournal.com.

Yoga sessions at the center also will feature music and storytelling, and kids will be encouraged to use their imaginations and pretend to be characters in the stories.

Moorad will take a moment during the sessions to focus on each child’s strengths. She said she believes it is important for children to hear that they are special and unique, just for being them.

She started a therapeutic yoga group last year for patients at the center after reading research about the benefits of yoga for children.

Moorad has already noticed how well the patients have responded. Some of the children have become more confident and willing to try new things. Others have improved their social skills and their abilities to stay calm and focused.

Given the positive response, Moorad wanted to offer therapeutic yoga to more children.

Her experience with yoga includes recently completing different levels of the “Radiant Child Yoga” training program, which includes guidelines for teaching kids yoga and tips on how to keep the yoga class focused and engaged.

She is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.

Moorad said she would like to see yoga techniques become more widely understood and embraced as part of the therapeutic strategies that are used to help kids.

“It’s just another way of working on those same skills in a different way, in a unique way and more of a whole-body way,” Moorad said.

Eland has learned more about the therapeutic benefits of yoga after attending a workshop last year on combining yoga practices with traditional therapy techniques. She believes the yoga group can offer children a confidence boost and a connection to other kids.

“I hope that the children who participate in yoga group would gain confidence in their ability to be active and independent

actions.”

Mysterious items decoded at Object I.D. Day Transcript Staff Many people find and collect objects that they recognize as something ... they just don’t know what. Is it a rock or a fossil? A piece of mammoth tusk or a mineral? An arrow point or a chunk of flint?

All of these questions and more can be answered Sunday, Feb. 13, during Science in Action and Object I.D. Day at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman. The event is sponsored by University of Oklahoma Physicians at Norman.

A really tough break for teams

NHS’ Brandon Southern puts up a shot over North’s Gabe Bonzie in the Clash.

It’s a tough time not to be playing, especially for the Tigers, who were on an 8-game win streak.

• The snow cancellations continue as deadline for rankings approaches

By Jeff Johncox Transcript Sports Writer

Another day, another school closing, another night of lost basketball games.

Norman High and Norman North won’t be in class today, which means no activities, not even practices, for the two schools’ four hoops teams.

It’s a tough situation for all,

PREP BASKETBALL especially since Sunday is the deadline for coaches around the state to get their final rankings into the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Athletics Association.

Those rankings will determine state playoff seedings and matchups.

“It’s killing us,” North girls

coach Jeff Blough said.

“We’ve got seedings coming up. We needed to get these games in. It’s hurting everybody.”

The Timberwolves were hoping to get a chance to improve upon their No. 8 state ranking this week.

Coming off a loss at NHS last Friday night, they were scheduled to host Southmoore Tuesday and West-

moore tonight.

But with those games now having to be postponed until after the rankings are due, it looks like North will end up at No. 8, which would likely put them at the Tigers’ regional, setting up a possible third Crosstown Clash of the season in the regional championship game.

OU BASKETBALL: STILL SEEKING IMPROVEMENT

Here lately, too many great games to count I

t was a great run of games while it lasted.

Just maybe the best run I’ve ever seen. Not that anybody’s keeping score.

The Oklahoma women killed it. Or maybe the Baylor women killed it.

Some may think Brittney Griner killed it, only the Sooners were already beaten Wednesday night in Waco by the time Griner really started working on what became a 27-point, seven-rebound, five-assist, two-blocks night.

OU appeared shaky, scared and intimidated, the way everybody used to look against Connecticut. The final score was 92-70, yet the real story of the game, or the score that puts in its proper perspective, is 68-28.

Because that’s how bad it got. That was the score with

11:52 remaining after one of Griner’s 11 field goals.

The Sooners came back in the end like a baseball team that scores four runs in the ninth when it was 15-2 after the eighth.

But they’ll have a shot at some redemption Saturday when No. 22 Iowa State visits Lloyd Noble Center.

• The win streak is nice, but Capel still sees ways of getting better

By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer

Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel grinned when asked what it felt like to be coaching a team tied for third in the Big 12 Conference.

The 73-66 victory over Baylor on Wednesday at Lloyd Noble Center made the Sooners (12-9, 4-3 Big 12) one of only four teams

“It should give them some energy. It should give them a lot of energy,” Capel said about his team and its status as the biggest surprise of the first half of conference play. “We’ve won four in a row, and we’ve beaten good teams along the way.”

It may not seem like it, what with all the snow on the ground, but softball season is just a week away.

The Sooners open the season at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 vs. Cal State Bakersfield at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.

Coach Patty Gasso never has to rebuild the OU program, but in years like this one, she has to retool and reload.

The Sooners lost two

senior leaders last season, Amber Flores and Lindsey Vandever. Those two were also mainstays in the middle of the lineup and two of the biggest hitters on a squad that hit .289 as a team (103 points higher than its opponents), went deep 74 times and scored 340 runs while finishing 47-12.

Trio adds needed depth to soccer roster

By Michael Kinney Transcript Sports Writer

Along with coach, Oklahoma’s Nicole Nelson may need to add another title to her business cards. In just a few years, she’s become one of the top recruiters in the Big 12.

Nelson showed her skills again Wednesday, when the Sooners announced their 2011 recruiting class.

“With this class we add

another group of student athletes that understand our core values and share our goal of making OU soccer a championship caliber program,” Nelson said. “This group of players and their families are excited to join the rich tradition that exists here at University of Oklahoma.

These athletes have competed at some of the highest levels of our sport for their age and that winning tradition will carry over immediately

OU SOCCER here in Norman.”

Nelson didn’t have to go to far to find this year’s crop of recruits. They include Mustang’s Abby Hodgen, Emily Bowman from Colleyville, Texas, Hannah Gordon from Sugar Land, Texas, and Kelly Price from River Forest, Ill. The incoming class is smaller than in past years because the Sooners return

eight starters and 19 letterwinners from a team that made it to the NCAA tournament.

However, Oklahoma is having to replace what had been the foundation of the team’s growth the past four years. Seniors Whitney Palmer, the program’s alltime leading scorer, Lauren Alkek and Tiana Dickson left big shoes to fill.

“This class adds the necessary depth in every posi-

tion and will, again, increase the competitiveness of our environment moving forward,” Nelson said. “Most importantly, this group represents the type of student athletes we believe are crucial for building a championship program. They are competitive and determined to make OU soccer successful on a national scale.”

BASKETBALL

• Heavy fine for workouts: GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The NBA fined the New York Knicks $200,000 and team scout Rodney Heard $20,000 on Thursday for conducting illegal draft workouts.

The league ruled that Heard, the Knicks’ director of East scouting, violated rules restricting contact between teams and players eligible for the draft in May 2007 and May 2010.

Under the rules at that time, players were not eligible to be worked out for teams before the NBA’s predraft camp in May. The NBA had been investigating the Knicks since a Yahoo! Sports report in October that Heard coordinated and conducted the secret workouts in suburban Atlanta. The report said former Kansas All-American Brandon Rush tore the ACL in his right knee during one of the sessions.

The Knicks said in a statement they will abide by the decision and have no further comment.

FOOTBALL

• Jay Gruden to lead Bengals offense: CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals have hired Arena Football League veteran Jay Gruden as their offensive coordinator.

The 43-year-old Gruden is the younger brother of former NFL coach Jon Gruden. He was an assistant for seven years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including for his brother’s 2002 season Super Bowl champions. Jay Gruden played and coached in the Arena Football League for 18 seasons.

The Bengals moved quickly after Monday’s firing of longtime offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski, following a 4-12 season and quarterback Carson Palmer’s request to be traded.

Coach Marvin Lewis said Thursday that Gruden will help bring energy and an attacking style to the offense.

The Tiffin, Ohio, native played quarterback for four seasons at Louisville and last year coached the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League.

TENNIS

• South African Anderson on course for 1st ATP title: JOHANNESBURG — Kevin Anderson of South Africa reached the quarterfinals of the SA Tennis Open with a 6-2, 6-4 win Thursday over Dudi Sela.

The fourth-seeded Anderson had 13 aces, while Sela managed only one.

Anderson will meet unseeded Slovak Karol Beck, who defeated Go Soeda of Japan 3-6, 7-5, 6-0.

Adrian Mannarino of France defeated Denis Gremelmayr of Germany 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Mannarino and Gremelmayr combined for 109 unforced errors before the No. 67-ranked Mannarino won with an ace on his second match point.

• Bob Griese retires from broadcasting: BRISTOL, Conn. — Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Griese is retiring from broadcasting.

Griese spent 29 years in his second career after leading the Miami Dolphins to two Super Bowl titles. The last 24 were with ABC and ESPN. ESPN made the announcement Thursday on Griese’s 66th birthday.

Griese worked ESPN’s Saturday noon college football telecasts the past two seasons. He started his TV career with NBC, serving as the top NFL analyst from 1982-86 and calling the Super Bowl.

Griese worked many top bowl games for ABC and ESPN, including the last of son Brian’s career at the 1998 Rose Bowl, when Bob cried as Brian was honored as the MVP for undefeated Michigan.

Brian is now also a college football commentator for ESPN, and father and son called the Minnesota-Purdue game together Oct. 16.

NOT TAKING SIDES

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — President Barack Obama is hinting on Pennsylvania soil that he might root for Pittsburgh’s beloved Steelers when they meet Green Bay Sunday in the Super Bowl.

Obama told a crowd that “I’ve got some love for the Steelers.”

But Obama also noted he’d visited a factory town near Green Bay just last week, and he’d come to Pennsylvania “in the spirit of fairness” to wish Steeler fans good luck as well.

The president appeared to be trying to straddle two crucial electoral states after rooting unambiguously for his hometown Chicago Bears earlier.

Obama previously said he wouldn’t take sides in the Super Bowl, after his Bears were eliminated.

As dominant as ever • Oklahoma latest victim in Baylor show of strength

• Continued from Page B1

Baylor’s Brooklyn Pope reaches for the ball with Oklahoma’s Carlee Roethlisberger in the first half of Wednesday’s game in Waco, Texas. very well, but the 3s that we got, most of them were consistent with the 3s we’ve gotten all year,” Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said.

“We were just 1-for-12. You can’t do that when you play this team because you can’t get to the rim.”

Getting inside at all was a problem for Coale’s team.

While Oklahoma was outrebounded 47-29, Baylor also outscored the Sooners in the paint, 52-6.

“That’s horrific,” Coale said of the inside scoring discrepancy.

Baylor opened the second half on a 9-2 run, taking a 5019 lead with 17:36 to play.

Hand hit a 3-pointer for Oklahoma and Robinson hit two free throws after Baylor’s bench was called for a technical foul with 16:52 to play.

That seemed to light a fire under the Lady Bears, however, as Baylor reeled off 12 unanswered points to go up 62-24 with 13:08 remaining.

Baylor, which leads the

country winning by nearly 31 points a game, quickly took a 40-point lead, 68-28, with 11:52 remaining.

“We were hitting on all cylinders,” Mulkey said.

“When you can pass the ball around the way we did and get shots from as many places on the floor, you’re going to have a good night. ... A lot of people touched the ball, and it was one of those nights where you’re glad you could sit back as a coach and watch it.”

The final score appeared much closer than the game did, as the Sooners scored 17 points over the last 3:24.

That didn’t sit well with Mulkey.

“When we break that film down, I tell you the first thing I’m going to do, I’m going to tell those people that played the last 3 minutes and 24 seconds, you gave up 17 points,” she said.

“We held them to 53 points when you went in the game, and we end the game and let them have 70 points.”

OU:Some have raised game • Continued from Page B1 offensive end.

Capel looked at the stats over the last four games and quickly saw Andrew Fitzgerald, who is the team’s leading scorer at 13.5 points a game, has averaged 12.5 over the last four games. It’s the fifthhighest total among OU’s starters. Steven Pledger averaged 18.25. Cameron Clark, who matched a career high with 26 points Wednesday, averaged 15.0. Carl Blair and Cade Davis both averaged 13.0 Pledger, Clark and Blair have all raised their offensive games and played huge roles in the winning streak.

But getting Fitzgerald and Davis going is key to the Sooners continuing their climb.

Davis, who has been a streaky shooter throughout his career, is used to the ups and downs.

“I’ve gone through slumps where I’ve let it get to me and

I played worse in other areas,” Davis said. “I’m just trying to use my experience, and I know it will come back. I will find the bucket eventually.

More importantly, there are roles I can play defensively and getting rebounds for our team.”

It’s why Capel wasn’t concerned after Davis went 1-for7 from the field Wednesday and scored just five points. He grabbed a game-high seven rebounds and did a solid job shutting down Baylor forward Quincy Acy. “I thought he was really good,” Capel said. “If he would have made some shots, it would have been a great day.”

Fitzgerald is another case.

He’s OU’s only low-post scorer. When he’s struggling, OU relies on jump shots to score in its half-court offense.

He was only able to get off seven shots Wednesday and scored just seven points in the victory over Iowa State last

Saturday.

“It’s good in some ways that other guys have stepped up, but we have to get Andrew going again,” Capel said.

It could be the difference from having a good two weeks and a good season.

The Sooners know the latter depends on continual improvement.

They get another shot at pushing closer to that ceiling when they face Oklahoma State (15-7, 3-5) at 12:30 p.m.

Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

OU feels like it still has better games ahead of it. The first edition of Bedlam is a great time to show it.

“I don’t feel like we’ve played our best basketball in any of these games,” Blair said. “That will help us when we hit that curve where everything is going right for us and start to take off.”

Horning:OU men defy expectation • Continued from Page B1 second half of the conference slate, or just a terrific game, because there’s been a lot of them going around lately, so why not one more.

Really, our cup has runneth over. ! It began with the Sooner women two Wednesdays ago, an 80-78 loss to Texas A&M that looked like it had the makings of a turning point attached, maybe even for both teams. Next time out, A&M lost a homecourt squeaker to Baylor, while OU slipped past a game group of Oklahoma State Cowgirls. Oh well, it was fun as heck to watch and cover. ! Then came the Crosstown Clash two nights later. I still haven’t gotten over it. How Norman High’s boys came back from 15 points down to tie it in the fourth quarter and win it in overtime.

This week NHS lost two

games to the weather, against Del City and Moore.

Making them up could be difficult. But assuming the kids are back in school this coming week, the Tigers should really be fun to watch, with games coming up against Midwest City and at Edmond Memorial, the Nos. 2 and 1 teams in the state.

NHS coach Jeff McCullough has said he wants to reel in a big one. He’s got the chance coming up. ! The next day, the Sooner men shocked everybody by winning away from home, at Iowa State, their third-straight conference victory. Steven Pledger poured in 38 points.

Editor’s Note: The Okla- O K L A H O M A B A S K E T B A L L homa women’s game at No. 1 Baylor Wednesday was played after The Transcript’s weather-induced early deadline. Following is the Associated Press story from that game.

WACO, Texas — After winning its last game by just three points, Baylor wanted no part of another close call.

The top-ranked Lady Bears scored 17 of the first 19 points on the way to a 9270 rout of 13th-ranked Oklahoma on Wednesday.

What’s scary for the rest of the league is that sophomore sensation Brittney Griner hadn’t even taken a shot by the time the opening run ended.

Destiny Williams scored seven during the opening stretch and finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds for Baylor (20-1, 7-0 Big 12).

Griner had 26 points, Melissa Jones scored 14 and Odyssey Jones had 10 points.

Baylor edged sixthranked Texas A&M 63-60 in its last game. That was the only time since losing to Connecticut early in the season that a team has come within single digits of the Lady Bears.

Aaryn Ellenberg scored 27 for Oklahoma (16-5, 6-2) and Danielle Robinson had 25 points. Whitney Hand scored 11.

With Griner patrolling inside, Oklahoma turned to its outside game, but the Sooners hit just one of their 12 3-point attempts in the first half and trailed 41-17 at the break.

game, and still, it was a showcase for the franchise and the city, which sold out the arena for a noon Sunday tip. If only Kevin Durant had heated up against the Heat the way he did two nights ago against the Hornets. ! Finally, three days after that, the Sooner men continued defying expectation, knocking Baylor off Wednesday afternoon in front of an unpaid but very enthusiastic crowd.

Jeff Capel talked about how talented the Bears were so many times, you kind of expected him to call Bryce Drew out for doing less with more. But Capel has to be enjoying things right now, because what’s more fun than doing more with less?

Now if the Sooners can just keep it going at Bedlam Saturday.

Maybe it will be time to begin a new run of terrific games.

Clay Horning 366-3526 cfhorning@normantranscript.com

Losing the games certainly doesn’t help the Tigers, either, who were scheduled to host Del City Tuesday and visit Moore tonight.

They’re ranked fourth, and will likely end up the third seed in the west. That means they would have to play at Midwest City in a possible area championship game with a shot at going to state in Week 2 of the playoffs.

“There’s scenarios that could be playing out that probably won’t now because everyone’s lost these games,” Blough said.

Both boys squads were looking forward to playing this week, too.

North, ranked No. 20, looks like an 11 seed in the west, NHS, currently ranked 19, a 10.

The T-Wolves were looking forward to possibly moving up some spots if they could have beat the SaberCats and Jaguars.

The Tigers, meanwhile, have won eight straight games. They’re ranked so low because they started the season 2-8. They were looking for more chances to prove they belong higher in the rankings, especially against seventhranked Del City.

“When you’re playing well, you want to get back in the gym, keep practicing, keep playing games,” McCullough said. “We were hoping to move from an eight, nine or 10 up to maybe a seven or eight. We didn’t get that chance this week.”

Not only did the snow affect the games, but it affected practices for NHS and North. That means the last time the teams hit the courts was Monday afternoon.

“I’m sure there are districts who let their kids practice, but we do not,” Blough said. “It really hurts your conditioning. When you’re not able to practice, and you get out there, you’re not ready for game speed.”

As of Thursday afternoon, no make-up dates had been confirmed for any of the games, though North athletics coordinator Jack Harvey said the T-Wolves and SaberCats could meet Monday night.

“If we’re not back in school (Friday), no one’s going to want to play Saturday,” Harvey said. “It would be tough to play Friday, coming off three days off.”

Unfortunately for North’s and NHS’ teams, that means any change in the final rankings is unlikely, as the make-up games would take place after Sunday’s deadline.

Dual postponed Today’s wrestling match, Moore at Putnam City West, was also postponed. Also affected by the weather was today’s Mid-State Conference swim meet and other area basketball games including: Southmoore at Midwest City, Noble at Chickasha, Bethany at Little Axe, Lindsay at Purcell, Community Christian at Life Christian, Newcastle at Washington and Crooked Oak at Lexington.

Washington and Newcastle could reschedule for Saturday.

seasons for OU, though she played all over the field during her four years in Norman, playing where Gasso needed her to.

Vandever was one of the top catchers in the nation.

Fortunately, freshman, second-team All-American Jessica Shults is ready to take her spot behind the plate.

Second base, though, is a little tougher to fill.

“Jessica Shults trained with Lindsey Vandever (last year), who’s one of the best to ever catch here, so I know that Shults is ready to go,” Gasso said. “We’ve got a very inexperienced infield that we’re working really hard with right now.”

Senior third baseman Dani Dobbs is back, as is Katie Norris at first, who hit mostly as a designated player last season. Senior Chana’e Jones moves to second base from the outfield to take over for Flores. Freshman Cierra Hughes will also challenge for a spot at second. Two other freshmen are working at shortstop since would-be junior Karolyne Long left the team.

“It’s whole new look,” Gasso said. “It’s a lot of work we’re trying to get through, a lot of learning going on.”

In the outfield, freshman Destinee Martinez is Gasso’s favorite to take over Jones’ spot in centerfield.

Sophomore Brianna Turang will still be in left, with bighitting right fielder Haley Nix rounding things out.

Freshman Haley McGregor and sophomore transfer Kaci Quintero will also be fighting for outfield playing time.

“Everyone’s battling and challenging for positions, so

we’re getting a lot out of this,” Gasso said. “The offense is going to be absolutely potent, one through nine – potent, hardhitting, aggressive swingers.”

One thing the Sooners have been missing for the past three years, since AllAmerican Norelle Dixon graduated, was a solid leadoff hitter. Flores was used extensively in the leadoff spot, when she could have better been utilized lower in the lineup in her usual spot.

But Gasso needed someone who would get on base, and Flores did that.

Turang had some experience leading off as a slapper last season, but after a fast start, she slowed down during the conference season.

This year, Gasso is confident she’ll have some slappers at the top of the lineup to set up the big bats in the middle.

“We’re bringing in two leadoff slappers that are fighting for the one-two spot,” Gasso said. “So, I think what you’re going to see is, ‘Wow, they’ve finally got a leadoff that’s really going to make some noise.’

And that’s going to help. I’ve had to move everybody up, way up in the lineup, and at times had Amber Flores as our leadoff, which wasn’t ideal. But we’ve got that situation in pretty good control.”

Even without Flores and Vandever, Gasso is clearly excited about what she’s seen thus far in the preseason from her offense.

“I looked through our lineup with tons of power,” she said. “I don’t really see any holes there.”

Soccer:Recruits were on quality club teams • Continued from Page B1 sixth Oklahoma native on the Sooners’ roster and the second from Mustang. She joins former high school teammate Balley Boulware. In three seasons at MHS, Hodgen scored 32 goals to go along with 30 assists.

Bowman brings with her a wealth of experience. She has been part of the Olympic Development Program (ODP) state team, helped lead her club team to the Club National Championship in 2007 and was part of four State Cup finals.

“Emily is a player that has experience playing at a high level,” Nelson said. “Her ability to win balls in the air and on the ground is unique for females at this age. Her physical presence will allow her to be successful at this level and contribute as a center back or holding midfielder.”

Nelson describes Gordan as a soccer junkie. She was part of the South Texas ODP

team and won three South Texas State Championships along with a Region III quarterfinalist appearance in 2009.

Price posted 17 goals and 44 points at St. Ignatius College Prep in Illinois last season. She helped lead her club team to State Cup Championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

“Kelly comes to us from Eclipse Soccer Club out of Chicago which traditionally offers a competitive club environment for players,” Nelson said. “Her athletic potential is very good and should contribute to her success in the Big 12 Conference. Kelly has a unique ability to put herself in dangerous positions and affect the attack at any given time.

“She has had success from a scoring perspective which we expect to carry over here at OU.” Michael Kinney 366-3537 mkinney@normantranscript.com

Griffin, record-tying four Pettitte Celtics picked as reserves to retire MLB

Steady Steelers staying on the four-decade plan

By Eddie Pells AP National Writer

DALLAS — Instead of focusing on the eight Super Bowl trips and six Lombardi trophies, Steelers defensive line coach John Mitchell likes to talk about these numbers: four and nine.

That’s four players he’s coached on the Pittsburgh roster for nine or more seasons.

Mitchell’s veteran linemen — Casey Hampton, Brett Keisel, Aaron Smith and Chris Hoke — may not be the Steel Curtain of the 1970s, but they speak to a larger truth. They were brought to the team, given time to develop and never jettisoned when the going got tough. And through it all, they were coached to play a single, specific, hard-nosed style.

In short, that’s the “Steeler Way” — an unwavering devotion to getting one kind of player and playing one brand of football that has resulted in one outcome more often than any other over the past 40 years: The season ending with the Steelers holding the Super Bowl trophy.

They play Green Bay on Sunday in search of their seventh NFL championship.

“In the ’70s, when you had the Steel Curtain, those guys were there for a long time,” Mitchell said. “They had continuity with the scheme, the coaches, the ownership, and you look at it, and it’s those same reasons we’re playing very well today. I don’t think there’s

Pittsburgh vs. Green Bay Time: 5:30 p.m. Sunday Place: Cowboys Stadium TV: KOKH-25 (Cox 12)

many teams in this league that can say they’ve had four players with the same assistant coach for nine years or more. That’s the thing.

Because the Rooneys, they don’t panic.”

The Rooney family, of course, has owned the Steelers since the beginning, back in 1933. They do more than talk the talk about “family.” To build a sense of togetherness, they like to eat with the players in the team cafeteria. When it comes to the big picture, they run an organization that loves stability but isn’t fond of drama.

“The key to it is, we’ve always believed in having good people,” Rooney said.

And for the most part, they have. While other teams dominate headlines with contract holdouts, loudmouth coaches and videotaping scandals, about the most news the Steelers serve up on a regular basis — from the Mean Joe Greene days to the present time — is that they hit too hard.

NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte will announce his retirement Friday morning at a Yankee Stadium news conference.

A five-time World Series champion, Pettitte had been telling the Yankees since the end of the season that it was likely he wouldn’t play in 2011.

He became a free agent and has not attempted to negotiate a contract.

The 38-year-old lefthander is 240-138 with a 3.88 ERA n 16 major league seasons. He excelled in the postseason, setting a major league record for wins by going 19-10 with a 3.83 ERA. Pettitte’s departure leaving a huge hole in the Yankees’ rotation, with no proven starters behind CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnett.

Having failed to sign free agent Cliff Lee, New York has agreed to minor league contracts with Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia in recent weeks, trying to find more options for a fourth and fifth starter in addition to youngster Ivan Nova and Sergio Mitre.

Pettitte spent 13 seasons with the Yankees, interrupting his career in New York to play for his hometown Houston Astros from 2004-06. He was a three-time All-Star, earning the honor in 1996, 2001 and last year, and was a 20-game winner in 1996 and 2003 when he twice went 21-8.

NEW YORK — Blake Griffin is going to his first AllStar game, and Kevin Garnett matched an NBA record with his 14th straight selection as one of a record-tying four Boston Celtics headed for the midseason event.

Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will accompany Garnett, who equaled Jerry West, Shaquille O’Neal and Karl Malone for the most consecutive selections.

Griffin, the Rookie of the Year favorite of the Clippers, will be playing on his home floor in the Feb. 20 game at Staples Center. Joining him on the Western Conference team were Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili of the NBAleading Spurs; forwards Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas and Pau Gasol of the Lakers; and guards Deron Williams of Utah and Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City, who joins Griffin as the lone first-time selections.

They went for the winning teams in the East, whose reserves are represented by just three teams. The voting was much more difficult in the West, where coaches bypassed the likes of Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph and Lamar Odom at the forward spot.

Tony Parker missed out despite being the secondleading scorer on the Spurs, who entered play Thursday with a 40-8 record. Veteran Steve Nash of the Suns and the Warriors’ Monta Ellis, the

league’s sixth-leading scorer, all fell short.

The starters were chosen by fan voting and announced last week. The Lakers’ Kobe Bryant, Hornets guard Chris Paul, forwards Carmelo Anthony of Denver and Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City, and Houston center Yao Ming were the winners from the West.

Yao is injured and Commissioner David Stern will choose a replacement. That gives another chance to

Love, who is averaging 21.4 points and a league-best 15.5 rebounds, and shooting 43.9 percent from 3-point range.

But the coaches couldn’t overlook Griffin, even though the Clippers are also below .500.

The No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft has been spectacular after sitting out last season following knee surgery, averaging 23 points and 12.7 rebounds while compiling a half season of highlights with his array of dunks.

Ramirez, ChiSox ink $32.5 M deal CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez would love nothing more than to spend the rest of his career with the Chicago White Sox. Consider this a big step.

The shortstop and the team finalized a new contract that adds $32.5 million over four years through 2015.

Chicago exercised Ramirez’s $2.75 million option for 2011 in December. The agreement announced Thursday adds salaries of $5 million in 2012, $7 million in 2013, $9.5 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. The White Sox have a $10 million option for 2016 with a $1 million buyout.

NEW YORK — By Sunday night, Ben Roethlisberger could be in rarefied company as a three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

Yet even if he joins the likes of superstar Tom Brady and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, marketing experts say the Steelers QB probably won’t overcome his off-the-field notoriety — including two sexual assault accusations — and pick up the flurry of endorsements NFL champs typically enjoy.

“You don’t build back trust with a one-game performance, even if it’s the Super Bowl,” said Bill Glenn, senior vice president of the Dallas-based sports-business firm The Marketing Arm. “I’d be surprised if there’s a long line outside his agent’s office even if he wins MVP.” Roethlisberger has had a minimal presence in advertising since he was accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student — the second time since 2008 that he faced assault allegations. Georgia authorities declined to bring charges, but he received a four-game suspension at the start of this season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

By Phillip Alder

Bob Thaves in his “Frank and Ernest” comic strip said, “Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.”

Would she have found it easier in low heels?

This week we have been wondering whether to play high or low from the dummy at trick one. In this example, you are in three no-trump. West leads the spade six. What would you do?

You start with eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

The extra winner can come from clubs. But if you lose a club trick, the opponents might be able to run spades.

The key play, since there are only two spades in the dummy, is to put up dummy’s king. Then, what would you do if the king wins, or if the king loses to East’s potential ace and a spade comes back?

Here, the king wins, so you run the club jack, confident that you will win at least nine tricks via one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and three clubs.

West cannot continue spades with effect.

the first trick, you should hold up your spade queen until the third round, then play the ace, king and another club — do not finesse, because you cannot afford to let West win a trick.

Finally, note that if you play low from the dummy at trick one, East will put in his jack. If you win, cross to dummy, and take the club finesse, West wins with his queen and cashes four spades. If you duck completely at trick one, East will return the spade nine, establishing the spade suit while West has an entry in the club queen.

Friday, Feb. 4, 2011 In the next year, you might be able to discover whether or not you are satisfied with your life and what you want to do with it.

Once you can identify your true aims, you can successfully move on, full speed ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - That burst of energy you’re feeling can be channeled constructively and creatively, or it could be spent on frivolous frippery.

Try to use it on something good.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - If someone you know is currently in need of aid, don’t wait to be asked. Volunteer to help out, and don’t take no for an answer. The person could be too embarrassed to say s/he needs assistance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Generally, you are your own person, but for some reason your companions will have the greater influence on you right now. It’s okay, as long as they’re leading you somewhere positive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Competitive arrangements are apt to have an exceptionally strong appeal to you, which is fine and good, as long as they cause you to better yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Instead of losing your cool over a competitive development as others might do, you’ll rise to the top and take full advantage of the challenge, resulting in some meaningful accomplishment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Rather than get upset when outside circumstances disrupt your plans, you’ll check to see if these new developments offer any benefits. Keep a cool head and a weather eye.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You know that compromise usually results cooperation, so when someone is forcing you to make a change, you’ll immediately look for a way to meet him/her somewhere in the middle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Because you know that all work and no play can have consequences, you might deliberately look for a moment when a small break can be tolerated. It’ll be a refreshing for everyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If you are in charge of telling everybody what to do and how to do it, be sure you follow your own dictates. It would be embarrassing if you were the one to bungle matters.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Make it your primary objective, and something that is of significance can be finalized to your satisfaction. To do so, it is important that you give matters your full attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) - Know when to call it quits when trying to make a hard sell. That doesn’t necessarily mean losing hope, but to close your mouth after you’ve made the sale.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - This can be an excellent day for coordinating yours and/or other people’s actions. The high energy that abounds could do wonders if it is channeled properly and wisely.

COVER ART: Members of the cast of “Death in a Cubicle” rehearse for the upcoming musical murder mystery, set for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 10-12 at Old Town Plaza. (cover photos by Aaron Wright Gray)

‘Black Rain’ should be required viewing “I like to make messy films,” legendary director Shohei Imamura once said. He didn’t mean sloppy or thrown-together, but rather movies that showed Japanese life for what it really was: A far richer, more emotional and down-to-earth affair than depicted in previous films.

The pinnacle of Imamura’s filmmaking philosophy came in 1989 when he released the bleak and beautiful “Black Rain,” a stunning look at one family’s life after the bomb fell on Hiroshima.

August 6, 1945 — a normal morning in Hiroshima, as far as normal goes while WWII still rages. Although the bustling city has remained free from attack so far, many citizens are taking precautions to protect their loved ones, just in case. Wealthy factory manager Shigematsu Shizuma (Kazuo Kitamura) and his wife Shigeko (Etsuko Ichihara) have decided to send their beloved niece Yasuko (Yoshiko Tanaka) to a nearby island to be safe.

The childless Shizumas have raised Yasuko since she was a baby. Their only wish in life is to see Yasuko happily married, the loftiest goal for any respectable young woman in 1945 Japan. They would do anything to protect her, but after 8:15 that fateful morning, no one in or around Hiroshima is safe.

Mary Anne Hempe Forgotten Video That’s when the atom bomb goes off, reducing the city to rubble. The island where Yasuko is staying isn’t in the blast zone, but a boat trip back to Hiroshima to find Uncle and Auntie exposes her to black rain, a thick, oily substance that she, at first, thinks must be coming from a blown-up tanker.

Yasuko finds her aunt and uncle hiding out in the factory, and the three make a perilous journey on foot back home, oblivious to the radiation dosing their bodies.

Five years later, we see a revitalized Hiroshima, where Yasuko and Uncle are leaving a clinic. Yasuko has just received a certificate of good health.

Now 25, she’s practically an old maid, yet thanks to Uncle’s money and this document, there’s still a chance she’ll find a husband.

Oddly, society is not sympathetic to the survivors of that dreadful day.

Everyone now knows about the effects of radiation, including the toxic black rain. Some died within days; some took years to develop symptoms. No one is immune, though. The radiation will eventually catch up with you —

which is why Yasuko still can’t attract a suitor.

The local matchmaker has tried, but no one wants to risk having their son marry a contaminated woman. Auntie and Uncle are stunned. They vow to never give up until they find her a husband, even as their bodies finally begin to show the unmistakable signs of poisoning.

Imamura wanted “Black Rain” to look like it was made during the time it took place; it’s in black and white, appears a little grainy, and the sound isn’t quite as crisp and clear as a modern movie. It’s like taking a trip to the past, giving us a unique and shocking look at what happened.

“Black Rain” is not a political movie, though. There are no rants against the U.S., only the questions “Why Hiroshima? Why not Tokyo?” (Why not, indeed?) It’s very powerful and should be required viewing for leaders of all countries who have nuclear weapons.

Although “Black Rain” clocks in at two hours, I’d still recommend watching the 19-minute “alternate” color ending (which is an extension of the original ending). “Black Rain” is unrated, but some of the bomb scenes are too much for kids. It’s in Japanese with subtitles. Check it out!

Veteran musician lands in Oklahoma

By Andrew W. Griffin pop staff writer

For two straight nights, at the two different Rococo restaurants in Oklahoma City, I had a chance to catch blues-rock musician Phil Brown.

The first night, at Rococo’s original location, Brown played a strictly acoustic gig. A mix of classic rock songs including The Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride,” The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes,” an obscure Peter Green (former Fleetwood Mac guitarist) song and his solid originals.

Brown’s sound is mature and soulful, with an appreciation for the roots of rock n’ roll. As someone with a love of classic rock and blues, Brown immediately caught my attention.

The next night, this time at Rococo’s new location on Oklahoma City’s north side, the singer, performing with the Phil Brown Trio — bassist David Copenhaven and drummer Peter Pollack — amped things a bit, but was still reserved enough to fit the nice, sitdown eatery.

Brown, confidently playing his electric guitar this time, played a Claptonesque version of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” a Cream tune (“Sleepy Time Time”) and a couple of Jimi Hendrix covers (“You’ve Got Me Floatin’,” “Fire”).

Curious about Brown and his music, I was amazed to find out that this musician — who is 60 but looks and acts 20 years younger — has been intimately involved in the rock scene since the late 1960s. And Brown has a fascinating story for those interested in rock music history.

Phil Brown plays at Rococo in Oklahoma City.

N.M., Brown was adopted into a military family that moved around a bit.

“I was always a musician,” Brown said. “I had a ukulele as a kid. Mom said I disabled the crank so I could play it.”

This love of musical instruments led Brown to try out a Sears and Roebuck six-string banjo, take violin lessons and later take up brass instruments, including the saxophone and the tuba.

By the time The Beatles hit and surf rock was a popular trend, Brown was totally turned on to rock ’n roll.

“Rock ’n roll changed my life,” Brown said. “It was something I wanted to do.”

After dropping out of New Mexico Military Institute and, later, the University of Kansas, Brown bounced around the country by the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ultimately, he felt the pull of southern California and landed in Los Angeles, where it was hard not to run into fellow musicians.

At first, he was a roadie for Three Dog Night, and he kept getting better on

the guitar all the while. He also wrote songs, some of which caught the attention of musicians in his peer group.

Brown would spend over three decades in L.A. He says the experience had its highs and lows — literally.

He got hooked on drugs, but has been clean and sober for many years now.

The period also had him writing for everyone from Pat Benatar to Cher.

He also joined up with Little Feat in 1980, soon after the death of singer Lowell George. He stayed with them about half a year before moving on. He said it was a great experience.

“What I loved about Little Feat is that they had a swing in their music that you didn’t hear from other people,” Brown said.

Brown also recalled an experience in L.A. he had in the mid-1980s, soon after he wrote the song “It’s Not You, It’s Not Me,” recorded by the Jefferson Starship spin-off band KBC Band.

“I was driving down Sunset Boulevard and heard my song playing on a radio in another car and I told the guy, ‘Hey, I wrote that song.’

He was like, ‘No way!’” recalled Brown.

He proudly notes that he was also the first white guy to play guitar with Kool and the Gang.

And while he would go on to write 13 Top 10 hits in those heady days, Brown said record labels were notoriously greedy and, to this day, he has received little — if anything — for his songwriting contributions.

Recalling his hit “Get It While It’s Hot,” a late ’80s tune he wrote for glam metal band Kix, Brown said that he “didn’t receive a

dime” and that he “wasn’t represented well.” He said it was a problem for numerous artists too afraid to upset the system.

Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, Brown kept working and recording, both in the U.S. and in Europe. His most recent recordings — “Cruel Inventions,” “MP.TU” and the Jimi Hendrix cover album “The Jimi Project” — showcase a talented musician who is inspired by old rock sounds, and he interprets them in his own way. And it’s uncanny how he sounds like Eric Clapton

at times.

And now, Brown has landed in Oklahoma City after working in Austin, Texas, for a few years. He finds the scene in central Oklahoma very cool. A recent show at Norman’s Brewhouse was packed.

“I love it here. Anything with ‘OK’ in the name has got it going on,” he said.

“Having a place to go and play is really good. I feel blessed and love getting to do what I’m able to do.”

Susan Herndon delivers talent unhindered by gimmicks

By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor

In the midst of many singers/songwriters changing their voices to give them an edge, Susan Herndon turned to songwriting talent paired with sweet, clear vocals to earn her success. This Oklahoma folk musician, hailing from Okemah, released her newest album “All Fall Down” in November 2010.

She will host the Norman CD Release party 7 p.m.

Saturday at The Chouse, 717 W. Boyd St. The Cherry Pickers, Tom Skinner and Terry “Buffalo” Ware also will perform with

her. There is a suggested donation of $15 at the door.

Maybe I was suckered in by the image of Herndon shoulder deep in prairie grass and wildflowers, but the music on the album really sounds like the soundtrack for a day in the country.

I can see the big country house with a porch swing, white picket fence and barn in the background.

The first song of the album, “Land of the Living,” with its lazy guitar, sounds like the perfect song to accompany a walk through the land, while the charming “Build Your House” sounds like the perfect song to listen

CD review to while sitting on the porch swing.

“Everything to Me” is the lullaby that puts you to sleep. In this song, Herndon’s talent as a pianist also is highlighted.

The album earns quirky points for the yodeling on “Oklahoma Girl” (yodeling done by Butch Hancock and Bob Livingston) and for the accordion on the French song “Vagabonde.” Herndon learned French as a student at the University of Oklahoma and got her start in performance while studying and teaching in France.

“The Bad Roads of

Oklahoma” will be relatable to all Okies, as Herndon describes everything from Indian casinos to Tinker Air Force Base to the Arbuckle Mountains, highlighting the characters who make up the state as well. All are drawn together by the potholes on the Oklahoma highways and roads.

All songs are written by Herndon, although she has help on “Everything to Me” and “Oklahoma Girl.” “All Fall Down” is Herndon’s fifth album release.

This idyllic album definitely will earn a spot on my music playlist.

Seryn intellectual, but pleasant to the ears

Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ comes to metro

Seryn &his is Where We Are -elvet 1lue Music

pop staff reports

Seryn is from Denton, Texas, home of the University of North Texas, which houses a wellknown College of Music. The band members are Trenton Wheeler (banjo and vocals), Nathan Allen (guitar), Chelsea Bohrer (violin), Chris Semmelbeck (percussion) and Aaron Stoner (bass).

Musically, they sound as polished as the white arches of the Murchison Performing Arts Center on UNT’s campus. The album’s 10 songs all sound similar.

Tight and very adept vocal harmonization, soaring violin and drippy banjo are Seryn’s hallmarks. Serious introductions rise to dramatic crescendos or mellow fading away. There’s a

Doug Hill hillreviews@ hotmail.com

CD review cathedral-meets-coffeehouse aspect to Seryn’s music. Indeed, at a concert in the Church of St. David of Wales posted on You Tube they sound like the house band.

Although their lyrics are easily discernible, the song themes are decidedly obscure. Sample song titles: “Of Ded Moroz,” “Béte Noir” and “Untitled.”

Although the general feeling is highly intellectual, I don’t receive the impression that Seryn is insufferable. They are a very pleasant listen. Adding some playfulness and sense of humor occasionally to Seryn’s compositions would be a suggestion. This is just where they are now.

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” returns to Oklahoma City as part of the Celebrity Attractions 2010-2011 Broadway Season. Produced by NETworks Presentations, this production will come to the Civic Center Music Hall on Feb. 15-20 for eight performances. Tickets now are on sale.

The play is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with costume design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award winner for her work on Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”), lighting design by Natasha Katz, scenic design by Stanley A. Meyer, sound design by John Petrafesa Jr. and music supervision by Michael Kosarin.

Disney’s “Beauty and the

Beast” is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Dinner theater mystery set in struggling office

By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor

It’s in the struggling offices of a turntable manufacturing company in the early 1980s where this year’s mystery takes place.

The employees of Turntables Unlimited provide the cast of characters for the Sooner Theatre’s annual Musical Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre fundraiser in “Death in a Cubicle,” a musical complete with ’80s hits and show tunes.

The dinner theater will be 6:30 p.m. Feb. 10-12 at The Hall at Old Town Plaza, 102 W. Eufaula St. Tickets are $50 a person and include a

dinner catered by Benvenuti’s, a cash bar and entertainment. Guests must be 21 or older.

Jud Foster, who co-wrote the musical with James Briggs (whom Foster credits as creating most of the script), said this romp has been on his and Briggs’ minds since finishing last year’s script “Death at Rehab.”

“It’s very funny,” said Foster, who is playing the company’s owner, Mr. Prek, in the show, as well. Foster has been a part of the murder mystery dinner theater for six years, he said. “Death in a Cubicle” also is the third script Foster has co-written

with Briggs for the event.

Foster said the two writers rewrote the lyrics to a variety of songs to include in this year’s musical. Featured musical numbers include “Time Warp” from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “The Wall” by Pink Floyd, “The Rose,” “Summer Nights” from “Grease” and “If I Were a Rich Man” from “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Cast members include Linda Boatright as Mrs. Prek; Linda Whitaker as Goldie Duggar, the secretary; Sharon Pyeatt as Ann Cheatum, the accountant; Kris Glenn as Cam Waters, a salesman; Chris Maxon as Oz Kisser, a salesman; Jody

White as Dusty McShiner, the janitor; Leasa Stewart as Heidi Lamb, the temp; David Wilson-Burns as Harry Stoner, the mailroom employee; and Jay Potts as Les Sharp, the security guard. Potts also is directing this year’s production.

Tickets can be purchased at the Sooner Theatre’s box office, 101 E. Main St., or by phone at 321-9600. The office is open from 10 a.m. to noon and from 2 to 5 p.m.

Tuesdays through Fridays.

Tickets also can be purchased from the theater’s website, soonertheatre.com.

Seating is assigned based on the order in which the tickets are sold.

OU to host inaugural film comedy conference

By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor

The University of Oklahoma will host its first Film Comedy Conference, beginning at 10 a.m. Feb. 11. The conference is free and open to the public.

Andrew Horton, Jeanne H. Smith professor of film and video, said the idea came during the process of editing a book with Joanna Rapf, an English professor at OU, on the subject. The book is titled “The WileyBlackwell Companion to Film Comedy,” said Horton, who also has authored several other books on comedy and penned various comedy screenplays.

“It covers everything from Native American humor to French comedy,” Horton said.

Horton said everyone speaking at the conference contributed to the book.

Speakers include Tamar Jeffers McDonald from the University of Kent in England, Celestino Deleyto from the Universidad de Zaragoza in Spain, Rob King with the University of Toronto and David Shumway from Carnegie Mellon University.

If the conference goes well, Horton is hoping it will become a first step in creating a comedy institute at OU. “It’s still just an idea, but we’ve been buzzing it around campus,” he said.

Following the expected success of the conference, Horton said he may submit a proposal for the creation

Winter Wind welcomes Gorka pop staff reports Singer-songwriter John Gorka’s baritone voice and folk-inspired music will fill the Norman Depot, 200 S. Jones Ave., at the Sunday, Feb. 13, Winter Wind concert.

Tickets for the 7 p.m. concert are $20 and are available at The Performing Arts Studio, located in the Depot, or at TicketStorm.com. Seating is limited, and advance ticket purchase is recommended.

Gorka attended Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa. Though his academic course work was in philosophy and history, music began to offer paramount enticements.

He soon found himself living in the basement of Godfrey Daniels, a small neighborhood coffeehouse and listening room, which

is one of the oldest music institutions in eastern Pennsylvania.

He began acting as resident emcee and soundman, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer/songwriter Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt.

Their brand of folkinspired acoustic music inspired him and, before long, he was performing his own songs — mostly as an opener for visiting acts.

Soon, he started traveling to New York City, and folk meccas like Boston and Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984).

In 1987, the young Minnesota-based Red House Records caught wind of Gorka’s talents and released his first album, “I
