WASHINGTON — The United States government was caught by surprise by the ferocity of the attack Tuesday against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the ambassador and three other Americans. Now it is bracing for another potential eruption of violent demonstrations in parts of the Muslim world after Friday’s weekly prayers — traditionally a time of protest in the Middle East and North Africa. Angry demonstrations over an anti-Islam video already have occurred in Egypt and Yemen, and officials theorize that well-armed Libyan extremists hijacked a similar protest in Benghazi, where several Libyan security guards also were killed. The U.S. put all of its diplomatic missions overseas on high alert, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered an explicit denunciation of the video as the administration sought to preempt turmoil at its embassies and consulates. “The United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video,” she said before a meeting with the foreign minister of Morocco at the State Department. “We absolutely reject its content and message.” “To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible,” Clinton said. “It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose: to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage.”

U.S. officials said they suspect that the attack at the Benghazi consulate, which had also been the target of an unsuccessful attack in June, may have been only tangentially related to the film. They also stressed there had been no warning or intelligence to suggest a threat in Libya that would warrant boosting security,
even on the 11th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “As we did with all of our missions overseas, in advance of the September 11 anniversary and as we do every year, we did evaluate the threat stream and we determined that the security at

After sentencing man to prison, Senate investigation judge presides over his wedding into disability appeals focuses on Oklahoma BY TIM WILLERT
Staff Writer twillert@opubco.com
The groom wore an orange jumpsuit and matching rubber slippers with white socks. But instead of going on a honeymoon, Larry Allen Austin went straight to prison after getting married Thursday. Austin, 29, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court to a firearm charge and was sentenced to four years in prison by District Judge Jerry D. Bass.

Bass then presided over a marriage ceremony between the man and longtime girlfriend Dustie Dawn Trojack, 31, of Oklahoma City, whose two
children were in attendance. First, though, Austin and his bride-to-be took the elevator down to the court clerk’s office to get a marriage license, accompanied by two sheriff’s deputies. “We’ve been together for a long time,” Austin said. “This is a chance for us to start our lives.” It was a first for Bass, sentencing a man and conducting his wedding in the same day. “It’s what we do as

Benghazi was appropriate for what we knew,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. The intelligence leading up to the attacks will be examined to “see if there was any way of forecasting this violence,” as in any violent incident, House Intelligence Committee member Adam Schiff, DCalif., said in an interview Thursday. But he said the focus now “has to be on finding out who is responsible and bringing them to justice.” President Barack Obama, speaking at a campaign event in Colorado, also vowed that the perpetrators would be punished. “I want people around the world to hear me,” he said. “To all those who would do us harm: No act of terror will go unpunished. I will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.” As of Thursday morning, there was no intelligence indicating that what happened in Benghazi was planned, said two U.S. officials briefed on the investigation into the attack. Intelligence officials said they believe it’s more likely that the attack was “opportunistic or spontaneous,” with militants taking advantage of the demonstration to launch the assault. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity
INHOFE SEEKS TO SUSPEND AID Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, introduced a resolution Thursday that would suspend U.S. aid to Libya and Egypt until those countries’ governments could guarantee American embassies and personnel were being protected. “When you attack an embassy, you attack America,” Inhofe said. "Host countries have a responsibility for the safety of our personnel. Unfortunately, we lost four patriots (Tuesday), including Ambassador Chris Stevens, and justice must be brought for their deaths. The safety of our embassy personnel continues to be threatened."

ALSO ... KILLED AMERICANS ARE IDENTIFIED WASHINGTON — The State Department has iden-

Doherty, former Navy SEALs who provided security. The two others killed in the attack were Ambassador Chris Stevens and information management officer Sean Smith. ASSOCIATED PRESS
because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly. There also is no evidence that the attack was tied to 9/11, one of the officials said. But the Libyanbased militant group Ansar al Sharia is the leading suspect for carrying out the violence, possibly with help from al-Qaida’s main African-based offshoot, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. The officials said it may be hard to determine
which group was responsible, because many militants are members of both. Libyan officials arrested an unspecified number of militants suspected of taking part in the attack and they were closely monitoring others to see whether they are linked to a group. Despite the belief that the militants who hit the consulate did so separately from the protests over the film, U.S. officials are concerned that extremists may take advantage of
nonviolent demonstrations to copycat the Benghazi raid, or that otherwise peaceful protesters may be incited to attack, particularly on Friday. It’s virtually impossible to predict when a crowd might form and turn violent, according to retired U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte, who served as chief of mission at five posts, including Iraq, and is a former director of national intelligence. “These things can be mobilized on the spur of the moment, set off by a spark,” especially in places such as Egypt and Libya where the ruling strongmen have just fallen, Negroponte said Thursday. Egypt’s ruling Muslim Brotherhood called for demonstrations after Friday prayers as did authorities in Iran and the Gaza Strip. Large protests were expected in Baghdad and Iraq’s second-largest city, Basra, as well as Amman, Jordan. Israel was stepping up security. While rejecting the content of the video, Clinton stressed that no matter how offensive it is, the film cannot be used as an excuse for violence like that seen in Egypt, where a mob breached the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Wednesday, and in Yemen, where demonstrators tried to storm the embassy compound in Sana on Thursday. She then reminded foreign governments that they have a responsibility to protect embassies.

Jury convicts man in deadly ’09 shooting BY TIM WILLERT Staff Writer twillert@opubco.com
A jury deliberated about four hours Thursday before convicting a man of second-degree murder in a drive-by shooting that killed the son of a prominent former high school basketball coach. The Oklahoma County panel recommended 15 years in prison for Kenneth Wayne Thompson III, 23, of Oklahoma City. Thompson was charged with first-degree murder in the March 22, 2009, death of Jonathan Phillip Ingersoll. Thompson will be sentenced Nov. 16 by District Judge Kenneth C. Watson. Ingersoll, 21, was riding in a car on N. MacArthur Boulevard near NW 23 when another vehicle pulled alongside and a person fired into the car. Ingersoll died from a gunshot wound to the head. Prosecutors said Thompson was driving the other car and his brother, Kendal Laron Richardson, 22, fired the fatal shot. Richardson was acquitted of Ingersoll’s murder in
November. That trial was plagued by several delays, allegations of jury intimidation and uncooperative witnesses, many of whom testified reluctantly or refused to testify altogether. Several prosecution witnesses, including two serving time in unrelated cases, testified they lied during interviews with homicide detectives because they were threatened with jail time if they didn’t cooperate. Thompson’s attorney, Redmond Kemether, said there were too may inconsistencies in the state’s case to convict his client. Eric Thrower, the driver of the car Ingersoll was riding in and a key prosecution witness, admitted Wednesday he lied under oath and smoked marijuana before taking the stand Tuesday afternoon. Thrower reversed his testimony Wednesday, identifying Thompson as the driver of the other car after admitting he talked to the victim’s father the day before. Thrower told the jury he changed his mind because his life was threatened, not because Phil Ingersoll

pressured him into changing his testimony. Phil Ingersoll won five state basketball championships as a coach at Douglass and Northeast high schools. In his closing arguments, Kemether called Thrower “the Babe Ruth of perjury.” “I think the jury’s going to feel misled when they find out the other guy got acquitted,” Kemether said. First Assistant District Attorney Scott Rowland called Kemether’s remarks “absurd.”
judges,” he said. “We conduct legal business, and from time to time we conduct marriages.” Austin must do his time in a federal prison because he was on probation for a federal firearms conviction when he committed his latest offense and his probation was revoked. He will serve state and federal sentences concurrently.
Plans for the future Austin’s attorney, Scott M. Anderson, said Austin raised the woman’s two boys and doesn’t want to lose contact with them. “While he was here he wanted to be able to make
plans for a future with her,” Anderson said. Marrying their mother was the only way the children would be able to visit Austin in federal prison, Anderson said. Austin, his left arm in a cast, fumbled with a purple paper ring when it
came time to slip it on Trojack’s finger. But he knew what to do when told to kiss the bride. Allen didn’t get to enjoy his married status very long. Federal authorities were waiting to take him to prison.

NATION | WORLD Short-term spending bill advances with House vote BY ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The House voted Thursday to put the government on autopilot for six months, precluding a shutdown through the election and postponing a potential showdown on GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s agency budget cuts until next spring when Republicans hope to hold more power in Washington. Ryan returned to the Capitol from the campaign trail to vote for the halfyear measure, even though it spends billions of dollars more than the Wisconsin
lawmaker’s budget plan, which has helped define the tight race for the White House. The bipartisan 329-91 vote for the measure sends it to the Senate, which is expected to clear it next week for President Barack Obama’s signature, capping a year of futility and gridlock despite a hardfought budget deal last summer. The measure funds the day-to-day operating budgets of Cabinet agencies that are financed annually by Congress through 12 appropriations bills. It would fund the government through March 27 and relieve law-
makers of the burden of trying to pass a catchall omnibus spending measure during a postelection lame duck session. While taking the possibility of a government shutdown out of the equation, Thursday’s measure leaves in place the socalled fiscal cliff — a combination of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to slam the economy in January. More than $100 billion in cuts to defense and domestic programs alike are looming as punishment for the failure of last year’s deficit-reduction supercommittee to strike a follow-up bargain to last
summer’s debt and budget pact between Obama and Congress. The automatic cuts are set to hit at the same time that the Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire again. Passage of the measure is likely to be Congress’ last major act before lawmakers go home to campaign for re-election. The spending bill aims to avert a government shutdown on Sept. 30. Thursday’s vote represented a retreat by tea party Republicans since the stopgap measure permits spending at a pace that’s $19 billion above the stringent budget plan authored by Ryan.

NYC panel limits sales of large sugary drinks BY JENNIFER PELTZ AND DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press
NEW YORK — New York City’s Board of Health opened up a new, experimental front in the war on obesity Thursday, passing a rule banning sales of big sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries. The regulation, which was proposed in the spring by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and approved by a panel of health experts after several months of review, puts a 16-ounce size limit on cups and bottles of nondiet soda, sweetened teas, and other caloriepacked beverages. The ban will apply in fast-food joints, movie houses and Broadway the-
aters, workplace cafeterias, and most other places selling prepared food. It doesn’t cover beverages sold in supermarkets or most convenience stores.
Unpopular rule The restaurant and beverage industries have assailed the plan as misguided. They say the city’s health experts are exaggerating the role sugary beverages have played in making Americans fat. One board member, Dr. Sixto R. Caro, abstained from voting. The other eight board members voted yes. “I am still skeptical. This is not comprehensive enough,” said Caro, a doctor of internal medicine who practices in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Some New Yorkers have also ridiculed the rule as a gross government intrusion and tens of thousands signed a petition, circulated by the industry, voicing their opposition. The unprecedented regulation would follow other ambitious health moves on Bloomberg’s watch. Some have proven to be national pacesetters, such as making chain restaurants post calorie counts on their menus. New York City also has barred artificial trans fats from restaurant food and taken aggressive steps to discourage smoking. Soda makers and sellers say the plan unfairly singles out soft drinks as culprits for the nation’s fat problem. A violation of the rule could lead to a $200 fine.
Iran’s defiance on nuke program draws rebuke at U.N. meeting BY GEORGE JAHN Associated Press
VIENNA — The 35-nation board of the U.N. nuclear agency overwhelmingly rebuked Iran on Thursday for refusing to heed demands that it take actions to diminish fears that it might be seeking atomic arms, a move hailed by the United States as demonstrating international pressure on Tehran to compromise. Only Cuba voted against a resolution brought before the International Atomic Energy Agency board. Iran denies any interest in nuclear arms. But it has refused to comply with U.N. and IAEA demands to stop activities that could be used to make such weapons and to allow a review of suspicions it worked on an arms program. Robert Wood, the chief
U.S. delegate to the panel, said he hoped the board’s near-solid backing for the resolution would serve as a wake-up call for Iran to heed international demands to replace its words with actions that prove it has no interest in nuclear weapons. As 11 others before it, the document cannot be enforced by the IAEA board, and as such, may be shrugged off by Tehran, which already is ignoring U.N. Security Council
sanctions and other increasingly harsh international penalties meant to force it to compromise. Iran appeared unimpressed Thursday. The country’s chief IAEA delegate, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, said pressure on his country came from “a few Western countries, especially the United States (which) are trying to change the IAEA into a mere U.N watchdog” trying to penetrate countries’ national security.

LT. COL. CLARENCE BLANTON WAS KILLED IN LAOS IN 1968
Family celebrates return of long-lost husband, father BY ZEKE CAMPFIELD Staff Writer zcampfield@opubco.com
Four decades after she last hugged her father, Karen Daughety finally can say goodbye. With her family by her side Thursday, the El Reno woman accepted an urn containing the bone fragments of Lt. Col. Clarence F. Blanton, one of 11 killed when North Vietnamese commandos overran an important tactical air navigation radar site atop a Laotian mountaintop in 1968. Tears in Daughety’s eyes matched the rain that fell on the tarmac at Will Rogers World Airport as her long-lost father’s remains were delivered at last. “It’s overwhelming — something I never thought we’d see in our lifetime,” she said, flanked by her husband, daughter and a grandson. “I can’t remember my emotions then because it’s been so long ago, but I’ve actually shed more tears in the last three weeks than I ever have.” On Saturday, Blanton will be buried with full military honors at El Reno Cemetery in an area shared by six generations. The service is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Wesley United Methodist Church. Blanton, recently married and on his second tour overseas, was U.S. commander at the site known as Lima Site 85 in Laos when it was ravaged by enemy forces in a surprise attack. A U.S. Air Force radar expert, his mission was so secret it wasn’t until almost two decades after he was killed that the military revealed where he was when he died. His wife, however, knew all along. A secretary for the director of logistics at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, Norma Blanton, who now lives in Hot Springs, Ark., said she had to sign a pledge to keep the mission secret before her husband left for war. “In fact, when they called me and said he was missing in action I told my family and their family he was missing in Vietnam even though I knew it was Laos,” she said. “It did not make a difference; he was missing, and it didn’t matter where.” Lt. Col. Blanton and 18 others were assigned in 1967 to man the radar system installed atop a 5,600foot mountain peak known as Phao Pha Thi in Houaphan province. The all-weather system was integral to air bombing missions in North Vietnam, but because Laos was considered neutral the men were decommissioned from the military and reassigned as employees of Lockheed Martin. Eight of the men who staffed Lima Site 85 were rescued by U.S. helicopters after the firefight, and one man was killed during the evacuation. Numerous attempts to recover the bodies of 10 left behind were unsuccessful. The event was the largest ground combat loss of U.S. Air Force personnel during the war. Blanton, 46 when he died, is the second from the battle to be returned home for burial. The remains of Technical Sgt. Patrick L. Shannon, of Cordell, were identified in 2005.

later approving the purchase of a 100-acre farm in Arkansas for the couple despite never having set foot on the land. “He was talking retirement, but suddenly they get this radar perfected, they’re going to take it to Laos and so all bets are off,” she said. “We liked the same foods, the same drinks — it was just so easy to get to know him. My mother said, ‘It’s no wonder you two get along, you’re exactly alike.’ ” Her husband left his wedding band behind when he left for Laos, she said. She was waiting for the day she could return it to his ring finger when she got the dreaded call. “The last note he wrote, he said, ‘It’s really spooky up here tonight,’ and now that I look back it’s really scary, but at the time I didn’t know,” she said. “That was the eighth (of March), and they were wiped out on the 11th.” A Lockheed Martin company official told her that her husband was missing in action; it would be several months before she would realize he was dead. Even then, without official confirmation, she was tempted to keep hope alive. Norma Blanton never stopped working alongside other wives of servicemen missing or killed in action, lobbying U.S. Congress and the Department of Defense to acknowledge the truth about their husbands’ deaths and to account for them in their memorials for the dead. She currently volunteers as Arkansas state coordinator for the National League of POW/MIA Families. Today, 575 American servicemen remain missing in Laos, according to U.S. Department of Defense Prisoner of War, Missing Personnel Office in Washington, D.C. A total of 1,661 remain missing across Southeast Asia, according to the office. In 2005, a Laotian citizen turned over an identification card bearing Blanton’s name along with bones purportedly found at the base of the mountain, the department announced Monday. Circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools — including
mitochondrial DNA which matched that of Blanton’s sister — convinced scientists the remains belong to Blanton. Norma Blanton said when the officer brought the ID to her last December, he told her they could not prove the remains were those of her husband. She begged him to try again to match the recovered bone fragments to the family DNA. After a second attempt the suspicions were verified. “I said, ‘Could we maybe try again?’ And he went back and he happened to be in a room with a scientist and two other people from the laboratory in Hawaii,” she said. “He said, ‘Can you help her out, can you give this a try?’ And it worked. I didn’t think it would work, but I needed to rule it out.”
Long-awaited funeral On Thursday, while Blanton drove from Arkansas to El Reno to prepare for the weekend services, Daughety — her stepdaughter, 21 at the time of her father’s death — received the urn at the Oklahoma City airport. Karen Daughety said burying her father’s remains will bring closure. For years the shroud of secrecy over her father’s death at Lima Site 85 prevented her from fully accepting his death. Now, she said, she can move on. “Sit and wait, sit and wait — 44 years, sit and wait,” she said. “The first couple years I had a little hope, mainly because of his rank. But the older I got, the wiser I got. It’s been such a long, slow process and we were informed like a month ago and now everything is so fast, it’s really hard to tell what your emotions are.” Her daughter, Lauri Bone, said the event closes a chapter of her life as well. Though she never knew her grandfather, he has maintained a heavy presence in the daily lives of her family. Lt. Col. Blanton is the second of 11 to be returned home, she said, but hopefully he’s not the last. “We’ll continue hoping and praying for all the other families — that they will at some point have the closure that we have, that we’re going through right now,” she said.

Swing shift: Scholarship law has ironic consequence
County down: State Dems’ chiefs running the numbers
A law providing scholarships to students with special needs is not only aiding those children, but also benefiting local public schools. The Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Act allows the use of state funds (already designated for a child’s education) to pay for tuition at a private school catering to those with special needs. The law is credited for much of a 30 percent enrollment surge at Town & Country School in Tulsa, which serves children with learning differences. As a result, Town & Country had to purchase a new building and paid Tulsa Public Schools $1.5 million for a site no longer used by the district. That’s ironic, because the Tulsa district has opposed special-needs scholarships and even refused to process applications at one point, before reversing course. Now the district is reaping the rewards of a program it fought. Earlier this year, Tulsa school officials said private donations of $1.2 million and $620,000 saved a combined 45 teaching positions. Now, thanks in part to the scholarship law, the Tulsa district has received another $1.5 million for a building it no longer needed with few potential buyers. This money will benefit Tulsa Public School students just as much as private donations. The scholarships simply refocus resources on children rather than institutions. Based on current estimates, the total shift from Tulsa Public Schools to children with special needs has been around $425,000 since the 2010-11 school year. Tulsa’s opposition to the scholarship law could have indirectly cost the district $1.5 million to “save” less than $425,000. The critics were wrong. Rather than harming public education, the scholarship law is expanding opportunity for children who need help the most, and its ripple effect is boosting funds for Tulsa public school students. This is a win-win scenario that’s a cause for celebration, not for litigation.
You know things are desperate when you measure political success by losing not all 77 Oklahoma counties but losing only 75 or 76 of them. This is the position state Democratic Party leaders were in as the party’s 2012 presidential nominating convention drew to a close in North Carolina. The leaders hope Barack Obama will do better this year than in 2008, when he failed to carry a single county. They smell victory! We don’t — noting only that the level of enthusiasm for GOP nominee Mitt Romney is the wild card in this deal. Oklahoma and Cleveland counties are mentioned as possible breakthrough areas for Obama. We’d put our money instead on Cherokee, Muskogee and/or Okmulgee counties. Cleveland County’s large college student and faculty population makes it an easy choice for a prediction of Obama’s success. But not all Norman residents will support Obama and, more importantly, Moore is also in Cleveland County. That suburb isn’t prone to elect Democrats to any office. In 2008, Cleveland County voters gave Obama 38 percent of the vote. That was better than the 34 percent Obama got statewide. In Oklahoma County, Obama won 41.5 percent of the vote, compared with 37.7 percent in Tulsa County. Oklahoma County was among the few in which Obama got more than 40 percent. Others include Cherokee (43.9 percent), Muskogee (42.8) and Okmulgee (41.5). These three abutting counties (or at least one of them) may give Obama something that eluded him four years ago. If so, state Democratic Party leaders can claim that they’ve accomplished something. This would all be moot if Romney wins the Electoral College vote nationally. For state Democratic Party officials, though, any glimmer of hope is worth grasping. Not since 2000 has the Democratic nominee won any counties in Oklahoma. And not since 1964 has the nominee won the state.
In Yemen, a U.S. drone strike has killed al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader, the sixth second-in-command the U.S. has killed. This is one area where Obama can say he definitely is creating jobs.” CONAN O’BRIEN “CONAN”
A feckless policy with Iran WASHINGTON — There are two positions one can take regarding the Iranian nuclear program: (a) it doesn’t matter, we can deter them, or (b) it does matter, we must stop them. In my view, the first position — that we can contain Iran as we did the Soviet Union — is totally wrong, a product of wishful thinking and misread history. But at least it’s internally coherent. What is incoherent is President Obama’s position. He declares the Iranian program intolerable yet stands by as Iran rapidly approaches nuclearization. A policy so incoherent, so knowingly and obviously contradictory, is a declaration of weakness and passivity. And this, Charles as Anthony Cordesman, Krauthammer James Phillips and others have argued, can increase the chance of war. This has precipitated COMMENTARY the current U.S.-Israeli crisis, sharpened by the president’s rebuff of the Israeli prime minister’s request for a meeting during his upcoming U.S. visit. Ominous new developments; no Obama response. Alarm bells going off everywhere; Obama plays deaf. The old arguments, old excuses, old pretensions have become ridiculous: 1. Sanctions. The director of national intelligence testified to Congress at the beginning of the year that they had zero effect in slowing the nuclear program. Now the International Atomic Energy Agency reports (Aug. 30) that the Iranian nuclear program, far from slowing, is actually accelerating. Iran has doubled the number of high-speed centrifuges at Fordow, the facility outside Qom built into a mountain to make it impregnable to air attack. This week, the IAEA reported Iranian advances in calculating the explosive power of an atomic warhead. It noted once again Iran’s refusal to allow inspection of its weapons testing facility at Parchin, and cited satellite evidence of Iranian attempts to clean up and hide what’s gone on there. 2. Negotiations. The latest, supposedly lastditch round of talks in Istanbul, Baghdad, then Moscow has collapsed. The West even conceded to Iran the right to enrich — shattering a decade-long consensus and six Security Council resolutions demanding its cessation. Iran’s response? Contemptuous rejection. Why not? The mullahs have strung Obama along for more than three years and still see no credible threat emanating from the one country that could disarm them. 3. Diplomatic isolation. The administration boasts that Iran is becoming increasingly isolated. Really? Just two weeks ago, 120 nations showed up in Tehran for a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement — against U.S. entreaties not to attend. Even the U.N. secretary-general attended — after the administration implored him not to. Which shows you what American entreaties are worth today. And the farcical nature of Iran’s alleged isolation. The Obama policy is in shambles. Which is why Cordesman argues that the only way to prevent a nuclear Iran without war is to establish a credible military threat to make Iran recalculate and reconsider. That means U.S. red lines: deadlines beyond which Washington will not allow itself to be strung, as well as benchmark actions that would trigger a response.
Israel cast adrift Which made all the more shocking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s dismissal last Sunday of the very notion of any U.S. red lines. This is beyond feckless. The Obama policy is a double game: a rhetorical commitment to stopping Iran, yet real-life actions that everyone understands will allow Iran to go nuclear. Yet at the same time that it does nothing, the administration warns Israel sternly, repeatedly, publicly, even threateningly not to strike the Iranian nuclear program. With zero prospect of his policy succeeding, Obama insists on Israeli inaction, even as Iran races to close the window of opportunity for any successful attack. Not since its birth six decades ago has Israel been so cast adrift by its closest ally. WASHINGTON POST WRITERS GROUP

Ridiculous compensation Regarding “Lenders’ regulating agency paid nearly $100K in raises” (News, Sept. 9): The Legislature should take a close look at any agency that grants acrossthe-board raises during this time of stringent budget cuts. The idea that some people are so valuable that they need super compensation is ridiculous. These people shouldn’t be paid more than school teachers, police officers or health workers. I can’t see why Oklahoma would need very many people to regulate payday loan centers. We need more people to teach workers to set budgets, try to live within their means and avoid payday loans unless absolutely necessary. Paying high interest for payday loans is poor planning. Let’s get rid of these highly paid office workers and put our money where it does the most good. Georgia Sparks, Edmond
COVETED GOVERNMENT JOBS Regarding “Lenders’ regulating agency paid nearly $100K in raises” (News, Sept. 9): Roy Martin, the general counsel of the Consumer Credit Department, got a pay increase of $28,000 over two years. Nice work if you can get it in this economy where folks are losing jobs. The article states that Scott Lesher, department administrator, said the commission “plans to resume lobbying efforts this session to get the examiner positions unclassified” and that Greg Piatt is the registered lobbyist for the agency. Piatt was paid almost $30,000 in 2011 and 2012. The budget proposed increasing that to $50,000 in 2013. Am I the only one who finds it odd that a state agency is paying someone $30,000 to lobby legislators to give more money for higher salaries to the agency’s employees? Who works for whom? Does the taxpayer fit somewhere in this equation? Clifford Baldwin, Midwest City
BIG PAC LIARS The presidential campaign has become a confusing war of claims and counterclaims to the point of difficulty in discerning the truth. If you haven’t paid close attention to the news over the past five years from a source Mitt Romney that provides access to both sides, it’s easy to be misled. But Democrats calling Republicans liars is like the pot calling the kettle black. An example is the TV spot where Mitt Romney and Bain Capital are blamed for the wife of a former steelworker dying of cancer. President Obama claimed no responsibility or control over his super PAC’s ad, but a 2008 video clip shows Obama saying, “of course candidate John Edwards has control over his super PAC ads.” The woman in charge of the commercial got caught lying to the news about her knowledge of the situation. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, got caught lying on a live TV news spot about the same thing. When pressed by the interviewer, she recanted her comments. If you’re undecided or an Obama supporter, you owe it to your children and grandchildren to see “2016: Obama’s America,” a documentary that examines Obama’s past and provides insight as to why and how he’s trying to destroy America. If you don’t agree with it, at least you’ll see why so many are against Obama and that it has nothing to do with race. Ken Coates, Ponca City “2016: Obama’s America” is now showing at Oklahoma theaters.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF We may not agree with the law of gravity, but it’s not going to change. If we accommodate it, life goes more smoothly. We may not agree with the laws of human nature and economics, but they’re not going to change. If we accommodate them, life goes more smoothly. History has taught us over and over that lowering taxes fosters a growing, healthy economy, that decreasing regulations on business does the same and that decreasing government jobs increases private jobs. Decreasing welfare decreases poverty. Eliminating farm subsidies increases production and increases farmers’ income. Decreasing unions’ power increases employment. Increasing the strength of our military decreases the will of our enemies to attack us. Increasing gun ownership and swiftly punishing criminals decreases crime. People of a given race and culture prefer to associate with others of the same race and culture. People of a given race and culture prefer to be governed by people of the same race and culture. Decreased government involvement in education means better education. Nonsocialized medicine means more care and better care. Decreasing donations to most environmental groups increases our petroleum industry, our economy and our independence. Most politicians are selfserving. The fewer lawyers we send to Congress, the fewer laws. Hollywood, public education, CBS, NBC, ABC and AP hide the truths we need to know. And we’ve learned what happens when we vote for politicians who haven’t learned from history. Mike Jones, Oklahoma City

ECONOMICS DON’T WORK Listening to the political rhetoric of this year’s election, the fundamental differences between the left and the right are clear. The left tries to demonize the right by derisively characterizing the economic system that allows wealth creators (entrepreneurs) to keep the lion’s share of their wealth as “trickle down economics.” Historically, this system has resulted in freedom for most and an ever-expanding economic pie that benefits society as a whole as the wealth of society is increased. Workers, builders, lawyers, accountants, store clerks, etc., all share in the expanding wealth, buying goods and services, which in turn support other workers and laborers, builders, lawyers, accountants, store clerks, etc. This view of economics doesn’t see the economy as a zero sum game — which it isn’t. The economic system fostered by the left, however, could be characterized as “trickle up economics.” Under this view, a strong central government takes from the productive and redistributes the wealth taken to those which it favors. In effect, it views an economy as a zero sum game, where one person’s wealth is at the expense of another’s — which it isn’t. Water does not trickle up. Neither does wealth. The leftist view has never worked. It’s not working now. It never will work. Peter T. Van Dyke, Norman
CLOSED ELECTIONS NOT NEW Regarding “Election trends don’t mean system is flawed” (Our Views, Sept. 7): When I first moved to Oklahoma from another state in 1966, the Custer County Election Board was perplexed by my Republican registration. The attitude was this: “But you won’t have anyone to vote for if you’re a Republican!” I wonder why the Democrats didn’t start a movement way back then to allow all registered voters to participate in primaries when there’s no general election for a specific race!

PAINT THE TOWN The train trestle over the new Interstate 40 near Shields Boulevard needs to be repainted. This bridge is now showing graffiti with gang signs. I understand there’s a paint that’s nearly graffiti-proof. Why not have city codes dictate that any flat surface, other than mortar, be painted with that type of paint? I’m amazed by the transformation of downtown Oklahoma City with the removal of the old elevated I-40. It’s beautiful and feels spacious. But it’s appalling to see all the graffiti that’s appeared on bridges, buildings, electrical boxes, light posts, fences — you name it. If there’s no money to create a job or pay a worker to repaint, maybe an organization wanting to take on the task to benefit Oklahoma City would like to do this. Organizations adopt highways, streets and neighborhoods. Why not adopt an “Abolish Graffiti” campaign? Colleen King, Oklahoma City

U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY COBURN LOOKED AT SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT CASES
Disability appeals report finds OKC judge lenient with process BY CHRIS CASTEEL Washington Bureau ccasteel@opubco.com
WASHINGTON — In a recent three-year period, an administrative law judge in Oklahoma City heard 5,401 appeals from people who had been denied So-
cial Security disability benefits. The judge, Howard O’Bryan, approved nearly all of those people for benefits. According to a Senate report released Thursday, O’Bryan’s opinions often failed to include a person’s specific disability. Rather,
he would list a few ailments, sometimes followed by “etc., etc., etc.” And sometimes he would copy medical reports into his opinions that contradicted his own decision to grant benefits. In the case of a woman who complained of hip pain
and depression, O’Bryan granted her full benefits but included a doctor’s opinion that she was “very manipulative and an unreliable historian.” O’Bryan’s record from 2006 to 2009 came to light as part of an 18-month inquiry by the U.S. Senate’s

STATE FAIR BEGINS WITH FOOD FIGHT BY DAVE CATHEY Food Editor dcathey@opubco.com
The Oklahoma State Fair did the two things Thursday that it does best on opening day: introduce deep-fried foods dappled in chocolate, bacon — or both — on a stick, and bring the rain. As it has for the past three years, the Great Taste of a Fair contest opened the 11-day event. Seventeen of the dozens of fair food vendors put forth their best dish to a panel of eight judges, who ranked the top two dishes in four categories: Best Tasting Savory, Best Tasting Sweet, Most Unique Savory and Most Unique Sweet. For the first time in the three-year contest, the chicken-on-a-stick from Ragin’ Cajun didn’t take home the gold in Best Tasting Savory item. Firsttime fair vendor Burger and Chili Shack, run by Dallas resident Tom Grace, edged the two-time champs with his Juicy Lucy burger.

Naval commander calls book ‘the last straw’ BY SILAS ALLEN Staff Writer sallen@opubco.com
The commander of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command said a new book about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was “the last straw.” During a visit to Oklahoma City, Rear Adm. Sean Pybus said Thursday the book “No Easy Day,” a memoir written by former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, is a violation of the Navy’s ideals and may have endangered U.S. troops. Pybus characterized the book as unacceptable. By publishing the book, Pybus said, Bissonnette, who wrote under the pseudonym Mark Owen, was using his military history to seek attention and money — something that could damage the Navy’s image. “It ought to be enough to work with one of the military’s finest forces,” he said. Pybus told his force last week that “hawking details about a mission” and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk. “For an elite force that should be humble and disciplined for life, we are certainly not appearing to be so,” Pybus wrote in a letter to the roughly

8,000 troops under his command. “We owe our chain of command much better than this.” The letter was obtained by The Associated Press. Bissonnette, a member of SEAL Team Six, was a part of the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, that killed the alQaida leader. His book was released Sept. 4 and was at the top of the Amazon.com Best Sellers list Thursday. Bissonnette’s decision to release the book without review by Pentagon officials has generated controversy in recent weeks. In the book, Bissonnette writes that he was ascending a staircase in the dark when a SEAL ahead of him opened fire at bin Laden as he peeked out of a second-floor doorway, according to The Associated Press, which obtained a copy of the book. The SEALs discovered bin Laden lying in a pool of blood and fired sever-
al more times until his body stopped moving, the book claims. Several details in his account differ slightly from those offered by administration officials in the hours and days after bin Laden’s death. Some officials said at the time that bin Laden was killed when it appeared he might be reaching for a weapon. Pybus said the Navy’s disapproval of the book didn’t come out of a desire to hide its activities from the public eye. Accounts like Bissonnette’s — even those that have key information redacted — can be revealing, he said. Any information gleaned from those accounts could put American troops in jeopardy in the future, he said. Having revealing accounts of SEAL operations in the popular media also affects the organization’s relationship with other special operations groups like the Army’s Green Berets and Rangers. If other organizations are concerned about the SEALs’ ability to keep secrets, they may feel pressure within their own chains of command, he said. “The market is hot for these things, and they can stand to make a good bit of money,” he said. “But it’s absolutely against our ethos.” CONTRIBUTING: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Midwest City man is arrested, accused of taking secret photos, videos of children BY TIM WILLERT Staff Writer twillert@opubco.com
A Midwest City man is accused of taking photos of girls as they bathed and played by a pool, and secretly videotaping girls and women as they used his bathroom, court papers show. Jack Russell Owens, 51, was charged Wednesday in Oklahoma County District Court with seven counts of using electronic equipment in a clandestine manner and one count of aggravated possession of child pornography. Midwest City police arrested Owens on Aug. 27 after investigators found multiple images of child por-
nography on his computer hard drive along with home movies and pictures of very young females, including a video of a girl taking a bath and pictures of boys and girls by a pool, according to a probable cause affidavit filed with the charges. Police were alerted by a worker where Owens took his computer to have a virus removed. Owens told police the pool pictures were taken in his backyard and said some of the girls photographed were his nieces and their friends, according to the affidavit. During a search of Owens’ home, investigators seized VHS tapes, pornographic-related videos and DVDs, as well as cameras that matched the brands/makes used to
take the photos found on Owens’ computer, police reported. A review of the VHS tapes revealed “that the defendant had a hidden camera in his bathroom that would record very young and adult females as they changed their clothes,” according to the affidavit. “The kids and (women) in these videos didn’t appear to know that they were being recorded,” a detective wrote in the affidavit. Owens admitted keeping a hidden camera in his bathroom and downloading child pornography from the Internet, police reported. He was being held Thursday evening in the Oklahoma County jail, with bail set at $275,000, a jail official said.
Fatal: Neighbors noticed activity FROM PAGE 9A
short time later at Norman Regional Hospital. Norman police Capt. Tom Easley said two people were in custody, but no arrest had been made and nobody had been charged in Benavidez’s death. Easley said the fatal shooting didn’t appear to be random and that Benavidez likely knew the person who shot her. He said two people who were at the home when officers arrived were cooperating with investigators. Rusty Lister, who has lived across the street for about a month, said the house “had a lot of traffic every single day,” and he’s not surprised something happened at 1210 Stubbeman Ave. “I’ve seen a lot of traffic in 30 days,” Lister said. “People coming and going, coming and going. ... It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it seemed like drug activity.” Lister and other neighbors said police had been to the residence several times in recent weeks, often in the middle of night. “Something was going on and the police knew about it,” he said a few hours after the shooting. “Two young officers went up to the door yesterday at 2 in the afternoon and knocked and stayed for awhile but nobody came out. “I knew they were under surveillance, it was obvious. It was ongoing,” he said. Easley said he could not confirm whether the house where Benavidez was killed was under surveillance at the time of her death. Since August, there have been three calls for service originating from the house, police records show.
Man, woman in custody Oklahoma City police took a man and woman into custody in south Oklahoma City two hours after the shooting was reported. They were in a silver Dodge Caliber, which matched the description of a car that left the scene in Norman. Easley said those two people were in custody in Norman. Oklahoma City Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said the man and woman

initially were suspected in a robbery early Thursday in south Oklahoma City, but the victims ruled them out after looking at photographs of the pair. Wardlow said the man and woman were not arrested or processed in Oklahoma City. “But they matched the description and we thought they may be tied in with Norman, so we turned them over to them,” she said.
High-traffic house Neighbors who live near Benavidez’s house commented on the high level of traffic at the residence. Carlos Palma, who lives across the street, said police were searching the house just a few days ago. “There was a lot of traffic at that house, especially Friday and Satur-
day nights. ... People would go back and forth,” Palma said. He said most of the visitors were “in their 20s ... all different kinds.” Palma said he thought an older woman lived at the residence with a young man and a young woman. “She was smoking cigarettes on the porch yesterday morning. I saw her,” Palma said. “It’s kind of scary. ... You have to be careful.” Bethany Clay, who lives down the street, said the house was busiest in the early morning hours. “There’s always teenagers, ... usually two guys and a girl sitting out front smoking,” Clay said. “The other morning, some people walked by at 2 in the morning and asked me for a cigarette. They didn’t look very savory.” Clay said it’s unnerving to have a homicide occur right down the street. “It’s scary for me because I have four kids who are teenagers,” she said. “We’ve lived here a year and nothing like this has ever happened.” The shooting death in Norman was the city’s first homicide of the year, according to police.

IN BRIEF WIFE FACES MURDER CHARGE SALLISAW — A former Arizona woman charged as an accessory in her husband’s fatal shooting now faces murder and conspiracy charges, a prosecutor said Thursday. Raelynne Simonin, 24, is charged in Sequoyah County in the death of Jack Vincent Purselley, 39, of Akins. The additional charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder were added Sept. 7, court records show. She is free on $25,000 bail, said Tony Evans, assistant district attorney. Purselley, who authorities described as a “con man,” died July 25, 2011, from multiple gunshot wounds. His body was found in his home two days later after Arizona authorities alerted Sequoyah County law enforcement officers. Simonin was held over for trial Oct. 11, 2011, on a complaint of accessory after the fact. She was in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing on the new charges, Evans said. George Purselley, the victim’s brother, testified how Simonin called him two days after Jack Purselley was killed, saying she had been raped and kidnapped, Evans said. “She recanted those allegations,” he said. Simonin also asked about a life insurance policy and the whereabouts of money her husband had in the bank, he said. Simonin told Arizona authorities she married Purselley because he said he had a $1 million life insurance policy and she was the beneficiary, according to an arrest affidavit. The hearing was continued to Oct. 11, when two more witnesses are expected to testify, Evans said. SHEILA STOGSDILL, FOR THE OKLAHOMAN
STATE’S WEST NILE CASES KEEP RISING Oklahoma continues to see an increase in the number of West Nile virus cases confirmed by the state Health Department. A total of 133 cases of the mosquito-borne illness have been confirmed by the state agency this year as of Thursday. That’s an increase of six confirmed cases since the last report went out Tuesday. No additional deaths were reported Thursday. Eight state residents have died from the virus this year. This is the highest number of cases Oklahoma has seen since the virus entered the U.S. in 1999. West Nile virus is contracted through the bite of a mosquito. Most people who are bitten by an infected mosquito either don’t get sick, or they develop mild symptoms. However, people older than 50 have the highest risk of contracting West Nile virus and developing a serious neurological disorder, including paralysis or brain swelling. Horses also are at risk for developing West Nile virus. The state Agriculture, Food and Forestry Department has confirmed three horse deaths in the state this year. There is no cure for the virus in horses. However, unlike humans, there’s a vaccine for horses. Often, a veterinarian can vaccinate a horse for several diseases at the same time, Hall said.

COURT TO HEAR ADOPTION CASE APPEAL A ruling that sent an American Indian girl back to Oklahoma from her adoptive South Carolina family is being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The South Carolina Supreme Court agreed in July that the 2-year-old should be returned to her biological father, a member of the Cherokee Nation. It was the court’s first decision weighing state adoption law against the federal Indian Child Welfare Act. Washington, D.C., attorney Lisa Blatt has joined the legal team representing the adoptive family, who is from the Charleston area. The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that federal law gave custodial preference to the girl’s father. A state Family Court judge awarded custody of the child to the biological father last year and she was taken back to Oklahoma. ASSOCIATED PRESS
Coburn: Inquiry reveals problems FROM PAGE 9A
Rolls grow while funds shrink
basis, the investigation focused on cases from three counties, one each in Oklahoma, Virginia and Alabama. The subcommittee looked at 300 cases in which Social Security disability or supplemental benefits were granted on appeal. It found that in at least one-quarter of them, the administrative law judges didn’t follow the processes required of them and relied on insufficient, contradictory or incomplete evidence. At a hearing Thursday, Coburn said, “Unfortunately, some of the worst problems we see are in my home state.” O’Bryan told investigators that he was “very, very careful” about what he put in his decisions. He said he had become so fast at producing decisions that the agency sent him ones from other states. He said he only handled cases that he thought should result in benefits being granted and sent the rest back to their home states for hearings. O’Bryan was reprimanded several times by the agency, verbally counseled and sent a directive two years ago warning that disciplinary action could be taken if he didn’t adhere to policy. Douglas S. Stults, the chief administrative law judge in Oklahoma City who sent the directive to O’Bryan, testified Thursday that O’Bryan had disposed of 519 cases this year and allowed benefits in 54 percent of them. Stults said he had made a concerted effort to get him “back into the middle.”
The problems aren’t limited to Oklahoma. The investigation actually just confirmed internal reviews by the Social Security Administration showing errors nationwide in about 22 percent of the appeals, which come only after applicants have been turned down twice by the agency’s professional staff. The errors included cases in which people were denied benefits when they should have been granted them. The investigation comes at a time when the Social Security disability rolls are growing rapidly — in part because people who lost jobs are seeking disability payments — and the funds are shrinking. At the end of June, about 10.8 million disabled workers and family members received disability insurance benefits. In 2006, 8.6 million received these benefits. Last year, the program cost $123 billion, and Social Security trustees have warned the program may not be able to meet its obligations as early as 2016 without congressional action. Once the program runs low on funds, Coburn said, people who deserve the benefits will be hurt by those receiving the money who aren’t disabled. Sen. Carl Levin, DMich., chairman of the subcommittee, lauded the report but did not sign on because he disagreed with the recommendation that there be a government representative at all appeals hearings. Levin said the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that the agency should not be an advocate or adversary.

Cattle seminar to focus on drought, winter feed WEATHER | DRY CONDITIONS BRING CONCERNS ABOUT EXPENSES BY BRYAN PAINTER Staff Writer bpainter@opubco.com
FAIRVIEW — Unfortun-
ately, drought has been a timely topic for quite some time in Oklahoma. Areas of the state received rain Thursday, and weather forecasts show varying chances of precipitation into next week. But Jim Rhodes, Oklahoma State University extension educator for Major County, believes the topic of drought will continue to come up during board meetings at family farms. Those meetings are sometimes also known as dinner time, as spouses discuss important decisions regarding expenses. That’s why winter feeding of cattle, as well as
drought concerns, will be the focus of one of the sessions Tuesday during the Northwest Oklahoma Women in Agriculture Seminar at Fairview. The seminar is designed to provide information and insights useful to women who are involved in agriculture through farming and ranching, Rhodes said. “One of the expenses that they may be sitting around the dinner table discussing is feed expenses for their cattle,” Rhodes said. “That question will possibly come up: ‘Why are you spending so much on feed?’ This session will, hopefully, help with that question. “It is necessary to have enough protein supplementation to match your forage quality.”
Plus, Rhodes said they will talk about costs involved if producers have to buy hay. The percentage of Oklahoma experiencing extreme to exceptional drought was 94.68 percent, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday morning. That is up from 91.04 percent last week and 90 percent two weeks ago. Some areas have experienced rain not only Thursday but in recent weeks, and the possibility for rain in some areas remains with the current forecast. But sizable deficits still existed going into Thursday. The statewide average precipitation for the last 120 days was 7.29 inches. That was 6.7 inches below normal for that period.
Second parched summer lowers city’s reservoirs BY MICHAEL KIMBALL Staff Writer mkimball@opubco.com
The rainy start Thursday to the Oklahoma State Fair might not be the best of news for fairgoers, but the moisture means welcome relief for Oklahoma City’s beleaguered drinking water reservoirs. A second consecutive summer featuring a punishing drought led to more record-breaking water use by Oklahoma City utility customers this year, city Utilities Department spokeswoman Debbie Ragan said. Lake Hefner, Lake Overholser and Lake Stanley Draper are also all well below their normal levels. A record of 189 million gallons of water used in one day stood for years until about 202 million gallons was used in 2011. But that record was eclipsed yet again on Aug. 1, when customers used 203 million gallons, according to city data. By the end of July, water use was routinely about 190 million gallons per day, she said. But the cooler temperatures have dropped that to roughly 135 million gallons per day, and the rain that arrived Thursday should help put another dent in usage levels.
Lakes low Lake Stanley Draper’s water level this summer was affected not only by the drought, but also by the Atoka Pipeline project that reduced water flow to the lake from 2009 to 2011. It was down about 20 feet Thursday from its full level, Ragan said. “We haven’t had a chance to really fill it,” she said. “It’s probably about a year behind ... because of the drought.” Lake Hefner also took a “hard hit” from the drought and is down about 12 feet from its full level, Ragan said. Lake Over-
holser is down about 7 feet. Oklahoma City also owns water rights in Canton Lake, which is about a twohour drive northeast of town. The city drew water from Canton Lake last summer, but with the lake down about 8 feet from normal as of Thursday, city officials will likely wait until rain helps it recover before drawing water again, Ragan said. Last year’s drought brought all-time lows in water levels at Overholser and Hefner, but this year’s drought wasn’t as hard on them, Ragan said. Both lakes reached all-time lows last October when they were each about 3 feet lower than their current levels.
Capacity expanding Various projects to expand Oklahoma City’s capacity to draw raw water from other parts of the state and to pump out more drinking water are under way. The city is expected to spend nearly half a billion dollars in the next five years on improving its water supply infrastructure. Oklahoma City officials know that water use will increase along with the city’s growing population, especially if weather in recent years is more typical of what’s ahead for a while in Oklahoma than the weather of previous decades. The state received an above-average amount of rain for most of the preceding 40 years, Ragan noted. “We have to continue to expand the water system,” Ragan said. Though the city is expanding its capability to bring in and clarify water for its utility customers, its right to draw water from southeast Oklahoma is under dispute. The city, state and tribal authorities are embroiled in a lengthy legal battle over water rights currently controlled by the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust.
Fair: September is part of less active rainy season FROM PAGE 9A
‘The fair starts Thursday, so it’s going to rain.’ ” And it did. Thursday marked the opening of the state fair, and Oklahoma City officially received more than a half-inch of rain, according to the National Weather Service, Norman Forecast Office. So why does it seem rain and the Oklahoma State Fair are often linked in conversations?
Rainy season Gary McManus, of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, said some parts of the year in Oklahoma are naturally rainier than others. The state’s rainy season occurs from April to mid-June. “There is a secondary, but less active, rainy season in the fall, as well,” McManus said. And for record-keeping purposes, climatologists and meteorologists consider fall as Sept. 1 through the end of November. “So when talking about events such as the state fair
in September, we’re talking, climatologically speaking of course, about an increased chance of rain, since they do fall in our rainy seasons,” he said. McManus looked at precipitation statistics from all Sept. 13ths from 1891 to 2012. Although the Oklahoma State Fair hasn’t been around that entire time period, Sept. 13 is a good general target date. Of those 122 September 13ths, the official Oklahoma City rainfall total was at least one-tenth of an inch on 27 of those days, or 22 percent of the time. McManus said if you consider the days surrounding the 13th have somewhat similar statistics, you’re going to have rain from time to time during the state fair. A closer look shows that, on the opening days of the state fair from 2000 to Thursday, there was measurable precipitation — more than a hundredth of an inch — on six of those 13 days. The most rainfall on any of those days was
1.46 inches in 2009. In 2002, 1.45 inches fell on the second day of the state fair, and in 2003 it didn’t rain on opening day, but there was precipitation the day before and the day after the opener. If there were a definite connection between rainfall and any day of the state fair, Dewald and the cattle producers he represents “would push for monthly state fairs.” Oklahoma experienced a devastating drought last year. And although portions of the state have been in a continuous drought, some areas received a little relief in the latter part of 2011 and into 2012. Three months ago, 1.7 percent of the state was considered to be experiencing extreme to exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor report. However, the report released Thursday morning showed 94.68 percent in extreme to exceptional drought. “Any rain is very welcomed,” Dewald said.
And this drought follows last year’s drought. In some areas of Oklahoma, it never really ended.

Effects of feeding So the winter feeding and drought topic will be among the breakout sessions at the second annual seminar in Fairview. “Basically what it boils down to is, because of our drought, of course, we’re short on grass, so we’re going to have to feed more hay this winter,” Rhodes said. “And we’re going to talk about the importance of testing the quality of your hay so that you know what you’re feeding. Because of the drought, we’re short on hay, but the protein quality of the hay is a little less than normal, too.” In the winter, producers feed protein supplements.

“The amount depends, in part, on the quality of hay. So we’re going to talk about testing your hay so that you know what you’re feeding,” he said. Also important to many Oklahoma cattle producers is whether wheat pasture will be available
for grazing purposes. “We are a long ways from being out of the drought,” Rhodes said, “but what will help us is if we can just get some timely rains to keep us kind of current on rainfall, then we can get some wheat pasture along the way.”
PERFORMANCE REVIEW ‘DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS DARE TO DREAM’ THRILLS AT FAIR I Crowd: The Jim Norick Arena was about two-thirds full of young princesses in pink foam crowns, boys and girls wielding plastic lanterns equipped with strobe lights, and children noshing rainbow-hued snow cones from Mickey Mouse mugs.

maker said. “We think there has been a significant change in Doctor Morton in the way he perceives himself as a physician ... What’s clear from his testimony is, he’s learned that he had to learn more about himself.” After a hearing that lasted about two hours, the board voted 6-2 to revoke Morton’s license.

A Lawton doctor lost his medical license Thursday after a lengthy hearing related to allegations of sexual misconduct toward patients. Dr. Gregory Keith Morton III addressed the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, telling board members that he had sought treatment and had a professional mentor to help him stay on track in regards to his treatment plan. Morton practiced obstetrics and gynecology in Lawton until about 2004, when he switched to general practice, according to court records. There were 11 complaints against Morton involving inappropriate sexual touching and sexual misconduct, according to court records. There were complaints lodged that dated as far back as 1995. Female patients made complaints, reporting that

Morton had inappropriately touched their genitals and breasts, sometimes performing exams without gloves, according to court records. Other patients reported that Morton had fondled himself through his pants while performing vaginal exams, according to court records. Morton’s attorney Nick
Slaymaker said during the hearing that Morton has undergone several weeks of treatment and has a professional mentor to help him. He said Morton also agreed to undergo polygraph tests, if the board allowed him to continue practicing medicine. “We think those comprehensive measures do protect the public,” Slay-

our interim arrangement.” The school is discussing how to select a new president and will keep the stakeholders informed on that process, Wilson promised. Orsak told the Tulsa World on Wednesday that he has returned to Dallas to be with his father, who has a brain tumor. TU’s original announcement concerning Orsak — released Tuesday — said he was taking a leave of absence to attend to his father’s health. The next day the school announced the president’s firing, although it didn’t offer any explanation. In his statement to the World, Orsak didn’t offer any more details on his firing than the school did. “I am very disappointed given the lengthy due diligence process for the position that within such a short period of time the board has decided to go in a different direction,” Orsak said.

Raymond loved the outdoors, whether as an avid bow, rifle and black powder hunter and fisherman, as an accomplished gardener (with some of his banana trees still growing in the Myriad Botanical Gardens), or as an ice skater, building a safe skating area in his neighborhood lake and owning over 20 pairs of ice skates so anyone could join. As a gifted artist, he also loved to paint the outdoors. Raymond also traveled extensively throughout the U.S., Europe, the Pacific and Middle East, with his wife, Wanda. A well-respected and Godly man, Raymond was always willing to help anyone in need. Devoted to his family, they could always count on him in whatever they chose to do. Although slowed by age in recent years, “Papa” remained physically active, whether helping someone with a fix-it project, teaching his great-grandchildren to fish, or enjoying his recent “22nd Leap Birthday.” He was preceded in death by his parents, Ivan Carl Johnson, Edith Bachelor Johnson King, and stepfather, Shirley Malcom King; and sister, Loreta Johnson Novak. He is survived by his wife, Wanda Bates Johnson; daughter, Rae Jean Johnson; son, Ivan Johnson; granddaughters, Beth Brown Bonilla and her husband Mike, Tori Johnson Richmond and her husband Steve, and Alisa Johnson Beck and her husband Chris; grandson, Scott Brown; great-grandchildren, Garrett and Raymond Bonilla, States and Satchel Beck, and Nimue Richmond; and countless other loving family and friends. The family requests that memorial contributions be made to The Village Christian Church (http://villagechristianokc.org).

Third party won’t be on state ballots BY MICHAEL MCNUTT Capitol Bureau mmcnutt@opubco.com
A third political party has lost its bid to get its presidential and vice presidential nominees on Oklahoma’s Nov. 6 general election ballot. The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday to deny a request from the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party to have its nominees and the party’s seven presidential electors listed. The high court also denied the party’s request to grant a temporary injunction requiring officials to halt printing ballots. All state and local absentee ballots were printed Thursday afternoon, state Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax said. “The Election Board is on schedule with our general election preparations, including being able to meet the Sept. 21 deadline to send absentee ballots to military and overseas voters, as required by federal and state law,” he said. “We remain on schedule for county election boards to receive their shipments
of absentee ballots by Monday.” The printing of regular and sample ballots is expected to begin Friday, Ziriax said. James Linger, the attorney for the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party, said he was hoping for a different outcome. “I have to review the decision to decide if there should be a motion to reconsider or something,” said Linger, of Tulsa. Election officials, after getting advice from the state attorney general’s office, decided last month not to place the Americans Elect nominees on the ballot. National party officials never authorized the formation of a local party group or committee in Oklahoma, nor did they file the paperwork or complete the necessary tasks to be recognized as a political party in the state, Senior Assistant Attorney General Neal Leader said during arguments before a Supreme Court referee last week. The Supreme Court in an order, written by Chief Justice Steven Taylor, said Oklahoma laws regulate recognition of political parties and the placement of presidential electors on a ballot.
The Oklahoma Americans Elect Party members were never authorized to act on behalf of the Americans Elect party, which was formed in Washington, D.C., the order states. “While this court recognizes the importance of choice and ballot access in elections, the law does not permit unauthorized groups to usurp the status of recognized political parties simply because those parties chose not to run candidates or chose to disband,” Taylor wrote. “If petitioners wish to become a recognized political party in Oklahoma, then they are required to go through the formation and recognition process (detailed in state law).” Election officials sought the attorney general’s advice after Rex Lawhorn, chairman of the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party, submitted his party’s seven electors for the presidential election in early August; a day earlier, Kahil Byrd, a director of the Americans Elect Party, wrote Oklahoma election officials that the party was withdrawing its ballot line on the Nov. 6 ballot and was terminating its status as
a qualified party in Oklahoma. Lawhorn told election officials that members of the newly formed Oklahoma Americans Elect Party met earlier and agreed to have Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his vice presidential running mate, James Gray, listed as their party’s nominees. Leader argued during last week’s hearing that even if members of the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party were authorized to nominate presidential electors, no Americans Elect Party candidates should appear on the ballot because the national party’s board of directors chose not to field candidates. Electors, if chosen, would have no function; they signed an oath to vote for their party’s presidential nominee, and the Americans Elect Party has no nominee. Taylor wrote that the presidential elector nominees would be unable to fulfill their requirements and “cannot be placed on the November 2012 ballot.” A Libertarian candidate hasn’t been on Oklahoma’s presidential ballot since 2000. In 2004 and 2008, Oklahoma was the only
state that had only Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Write-in candidates are not allowed. Americans Elect Party officials planned to hold the firstever online nominating convention to select a president-andvice president ticket, but the idea evaporated when no one stepped forward to run. Americans Elect Party officials decided in June to suspend their plans. Efforts to obtain political party status this year in Oklahoma for the Libertarian Party came up short. To have names placed on state ballots, a political party has to get signatures of registered voters that equal at least 5 percent of the votes cast for the office at the top of the previous ticket, or for this year, the total votes cast in the 2010 gubernatorial race. The party needed 51,739 valid signatures. The Libertarian Party earlier this year turned in about 56,000 signatures, of which 41,070 were determined to be registered voters. Americans Elect turned in about 90,000 signatures. It was determined 68,424 signatures were registered voters.
Veterans oversight panel OKs restructuring of agency BY MICHAEL MCNUTT Capitol Bureau mmcnutt@opubco.com
The commission overseeing the state Veterans Affairs Department approved a plan Thursday restructuring the agency, which includes a more aggressive approach to make sure Oklahoma’s veterans are getting federal benefits owed them. About 52 percent of the nearly 1,400 veterans in the state’s veterans centers are receiving money from nonmilitary service-connected pensions, James Pass, the agency’s veterans service officer, told members of the War Veterans Commission during Thursday’s special meeting. Maximizing the federal benefits paid to veterans in the veterans centers could increase the state’s allocation from the U.S. Veterans Affairs Department by about $1 million a month, he said. The state Veterans Affairs Department receives about $4.2 million a month to care for veterans. John McReynolds, interim executive director of the state Veterans Affairs Department, said the extra federal funds would be used to make improvements at the center, buy equipment and increase salaries of nurses and medical staff to be competitive with those offered by the private sector. “We can do things with that money and put it right back into the veterans centers and put their quality of
life as good as we can possibly make it,” he said. The increased federal payments also would help veterans’ spouses, many of whom are using money from pension plans or their own retirement plans to pay for a part of the veterans’ care, Pass said. Pass made an inquiry into each of the veterans centers, which showed that claims are not being properly developed, he said. The only claims being filed in the centers are nonmilitary service-connected pensions. Veterans in the centers are not receiving the federal benefits they are entitled to because of the underdeveloped claims, he said. The veterans centers are failing to submit proper claims based on the veteran’s disability history. And some veterans don’t provide information or seek all the benefits they’re owed, he said. “They’re a proud group of people,” Pass said. Veterans are being denied service-connected compensation because they are not showing up for scheduled examinations or their claims are being denied because they are not responding to requests for information. Veterans at the centers read their own mail and have difficulty understanding what is being asked of them from the federal veterans agency, he said. They often can’t get the guidance they need from admissions workers
or other staff at the center. “These letters are not easy to understand.” In some cases, veterans don’t open the letters. “If you don’t answer the mail, you’re going to get denied,” Pass said.
About the plan Commissioners approved a plan that would place a service officer in each of the veterans centers who would work with veterans and staff to make sure veterans submit their service records, including any injuries while serving in the military, to the U.S. Veterans Affairs. McReynolds said plans are to hire the service officers from among the agency’s 2,000 employees. The agency has about $200,000 in leftover funds from the 2012 fiscal year that could be used for training and other costs. “Maybe we can’t do all seven of them right now. But we can get them to split duties where they’re pretty close together,” McReynolds said. The service officer at each center would check each veteran’s file to make sure the veteran is getting all benefits owed, he said. Many veterans are not forthcoming about injuries they received during combat, he said. The service officer also would talk with spouses. “A lot of times the spouse knows more about the veteran than he does,” he said. The restructuring plan also calls for putting four
Interest slows in mineral leases on Oklahoma’s public school land BY MICHAEL MCNUTT Capitol Bureau mmcnutt@opubco.com
Continued low natural gas prices are resulting in less interest from energy companies for participating in mineral lease auctions on land set aside to benefit public schools, Oklahoma officials were told Thursday. As recently as January 2011, the Commissioners of the Land Office were asked to auction mineral leases on 340 tracts of school land, Harry Birdwell, secretary of the Commissioners of the Land Office, told the panel, which consists of several state officials. That auction brought in $13.6 million, he said. That compares with only 58 tracts leased during an auction in May, which brought in $3.5 million. A mineral lease auction scheduled for November so far has only 25 tracts that are being sought, he said. In November 2011, mineral leases on about 125
tracts were sold. “Natural gas prices have reduced demand in certain areas of the state for new leases,” Birdwell said. “In certain areas of the state, that will probably continue until the price recovers. ... People will just not pay high lease bonuses when the price of gas is $3 or less (per thousand cubic feet).” Birdwell said his office has been preparing for the anticipated slowdown in mineral leases. The agency was able to get legislation passed in 2010 that allows it to distribute earnings over a five-year average to level out revenue from mineral lease payments to public schools, which can use the money for operating costs. The mineral lease payments give oil and natural gas companies the right to explore what is underground. The agency, coming off record earnings last year, put $25 million in a revolving fund to supplement this year’s earnings. “We’ll have some funds that we can fill in the gaps,”
he said. The agency this fiscal year plans to distribute at least $93 million to public schools, the same amount distributed in the 2011 fiscal year, Birdwell said. Schools, colleges and universities got a record amount of money last fiscal year from the Commissioners of the Land Office. They received $140.6 million, surpassing the fiscal year 2011 amount by $16.5 million or 13 percent. The amount was the highest since the agency’s inception before statehood. But earnings so far this fiscal year, which started July 1, came in at $13.3 million, compared with $40.9 million for the same time period a year ago, Birdwell said. August earnings were $6.2 million compared with $11.6 million for the same month last year. The agency was created to manage lands granted to the state to benefit public education. It earns money from surface land leases, investments and mineral leases.
regional directors in place. McReynolds said the commission will request additional funds next year to pay for those new positions. The restructuring comes as the Veterans Affairs Department has come under scrutiny after allegations were made that veterans at some of the centers were mistreated. “We have a lack of oversight in this agency,” said McReynolds, who retired four years ago as administrator of the Lawton Veterans Center. “We need to put some oversight into place.” Commissioners in late July accepted the retirement of Martha Spear, who had served the past several years as executive
director of the Veterans Affairs Department and who had worked for the agency 47 years. Commissioners named McReynolds interim executive director; applications for the executive director post are being accepted through the middle of next month. Gov. Mary Fallin last month asked for a state audit of the agency to review the efficiency and effectiveness of management, the efficiency and effectiveness of the oversight of the operations of the agency and the reasonableness of the Veterans Affairs Department. Fallin in May replaced eight of the nine commissioners; she said she overhauled the commission to
“actively and aggressively pursue the necessary changes to improve the quality of services at these facilities and to protect the safety and well-being of our veterans.” An 85-year-old veteran was scalded to death in May in a whirlpool at Claremore Veterans Center. An internal investigation by the Veterans Affairs Department identified willful negligence and abuse by one nurse and neglect by three additional employees. Another resident at the Claremore center claimed he was unnecessarily restrained and made to sit in his own waste for extended periods. He was removed from the center in October.

Landmark building is bought in auction BY STEVE LACKMEYER Business Writer slackmeyer@opubco.com
David Box, owner of The Greens Country Club, submitted the sole bid at a public foreclosure auction Thursday for the troubled landmark Gold Dome building. The owner, Dr. Irene Lam, was not present as bids were accepted at 10 a.m. in the offices of Blaney and Tweedy, the law firm representing the lender, Bank 7. Attorney Kevin Blaney started the bid at $771,734.84 — the amount owed to Bank 7 — and it was followed by a bid from Box of $800,000. Box, who has experience buying and developing properties on Campus Corner in Norman and in Bricktown and Automobile Alley, said he has yet to come up with a plan for the Gold Dome. He offered earnest money of $50,000 and tentatively agreed to close on Sept. 24. “I think it’s a cool building,” Box said. “It’s great for Oklahoma City. We want to try to make it work. I wish I could tell you I have a grand plan, but I don’t.” Box said he does not intend to tear down the building. Those watching the auction included developer Dick Tanenbaum, who owns the neighboring Classen condominium tower, and two Gold Dome tenants — Julio Passarelli, owner of the bar Zona Viva, and Vickie Lykins, owner of Americare One Source. Both Passarelli and Lykins said they signed leases in the past few months, unaware that Lam was facing foreclosure. Both stopped their plans to
WASHINGTON — Alarmed
by the chronically weak U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve launched an aggressive new effort Thursday to boost the stock market and make borrowing cheaper for years to come. And it made clear it won’t stop there and is ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up. Stock prices rocketed up in approval. But economists said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary and to keep interest rates at record lows until mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned — might provide little benefit to the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke himself cautioned that the Fed’s actions are no panacea for slow growth and high unemployment, and said the economy will probably need help even after the recovery strengthens. “The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Bernanke said at a news conference

after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth this year. As part of its bold and open-ended plan, the Fed said it would spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. That will be the third round of bond-buying in an effort to spur the economy, and the Fed left open the possibility of taking other steps to encourage borrowing and financial risk-taking.
moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three years after the Great Recession ended. Thursday’s announcement marked the Fed’s latest dramatic intervention since the financial crisis erupted in 2008 and the recession sent unemployment into double digits. The Fed cut its benchmark short-term rate to near zero and has kept it there for nearly four years. And it’s bought more than $2 trillion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to drive down long-term rates. Yet for all that, the U.S. economy is still struggling. The unemployment rate is 8.1 percent. And the Fed estimated Thursday that the rate will fall no lower than 7.6 percent in 2013. The Fed’s latest actions

MORTGAGE RATE STEADY WASHINGTON —
The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage held steady this week, staying slightly above the lowest level on record. Low mortgage rates have aided a modest housing recovery. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan was unchanged at 3.55 percent. In July, the rate fell to 3.49 percent, the lowest since longterm mortgages began in the 1950s. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, slipped to 2.85 percent, down from 2.86 percent last week. That’s above the record low of 2.80 percent. Cheap mortgages have helped lift the housing market. Sales of new and previously occupied homes are well above last year’s levels. Low rates have also allowed people to refinance, which lowers monthly payments. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oil boom fuels upsurge of construction in state The oil boom throughout western and northern Oklahoma has led to new housing growth throughout the state. The promise of highpaying jobs has flooded the area with more workers than many of the oil-rich communities can handle. In other parts of the country, high unemployment and a still-sluggish economy have caused building demand to plummet. Not in and around Oklahoma’s oil patch. Oklahoma now is importing jobs, workers and homebuilders to feed the need fueled by the success of oil and gas drilling. St. Louis-based USA

Wealth Partners on Wednesday will hold a grand opening and ribbon cutting at its Homestead Development just south of Interstate 40 in Elk City. The neighborhood was planned and started in the early 1980s, but the oil boom went bust early into the project. Roads and utility lines were installed on the more than 100-lot division, but fewer than 10
homes were completed. So for 30 years the rest of the neighborhood remained empty. Until a new oil boom set in. USA Wealth Partners took control of the development this summer. The last home is expected to be completed in about two years. The Missouri group at first was reluctant to invest in Oklahoma. But, after seeing the strong demand, it bought properties in Sayer and Altus and has plans for other Oklahoma projects as well. “Western Oklahoma, if it is not the best area, it is at least one of the best areas in the United States for developers,” said Car-
olyn Warenberg, USA Wealth Partners’ senior managing partner. The current boom has benefitted communities throughout the country, but Warenberg said Oklahoma has been among the best at preparing for the growth. “These municipalities have established infrastructure so that they can accommodate new rooftops,” she said. “If you don’t have the water, sewer and power, you cannot put in new commercial development or new rooftops. If you look at communities like Clinton, Weatherford, Elk City, and Sayer, they are investing money into building out their infrastructure.”

DEVON’S RESERVOIR PROJECT IS INTENDED TO REUSE WATER BY JAY F. MARKS Business Writer jmarks@opubco.com
A briny man-made lake in Canadian County has helped Devon Energy Corp. recycle 1.3 million barrels of water since June. That has allowed the Oklahoma City-based company to drill and complete three dozen wells in the area amid a lingering drought. Hydraulic fracturing for each well requires roughly 180,000 barrels of water. “If we hadn’t had this pipeline and reservoir in place, we wouldn’t have been able to do those 36 wells,” said Jim Heinze, Devon’s operations engineering manager. “There’s just not enough water available in that condensed area.” Devon’s water reuse facility, which is about halfway between Geary and Calumet, includes a lined reservoir that can hold up to 500,000 barrels of water, with an office and seldom-used ramp for truck traffic. Much of the water into and out of the reservoir moves through a pipeline system that includes about 10 miles of pipe. “We’ve put enough in the ground to complete our 2012 program,” facility manager Travis Dean said. “We’re actually working to get enough for our drilling program for next year as well.” Devon officials expect

the water project to help it reuse 3 million barrels of water in its well completion operations by the end of the year, while pushing its number of completed wells past 60. “By completing wells with water we can reuse or recycle, we can conserve millions of gallons of fresh water for surrounding communities,” Devon spokeswoman Cindy Allen said. Heinze said Devon actually has not produced as much water as expected from its completed wells, but the recycling program has been working well since the facility went online on June 1.
Planning ahead The reservoir Devon built is about 10 times bigger than what is standard in the industry for water storage, so company officials worked closely with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to craft the necessary regulations
for the project, Heinze said. The process took several years. Dean said construction of the reservoir and associated facilities began around the first of the year, with pipeline installation beginning in the spring. Additional pipeline will be installed as Devon continues to develop its operations in the area, known as the Cana-Woodford Shale because of its location in Canadian County. The facility is big enough to accommodate every barrel of water produced from completed Devon wells within a radius of about 10 miles, so it can be reused in future wells. Heinze said Devon has two crews working 24 hours a day on completions, with almost enough recycled water to supply half of the needed water for one of them. He said some wells are completed with 100 percent reused water, but the percentage varies based on
the amount of water in the reservoir. Oklahoma wells yield produced water that is low in salts, or total dissolved solids, so Devon does not have to distill it before it is recycled for other operations, Heinze said. “The longer this system’s in place and the more wells we hook up to it, the less fresh water we’ll need because we’ll have more of the produced water, the flowback water, that will be available for new well completions,” Heinze said. The system is designed to be able to serve Devon’s operations across 33 sections of land, with nine wells drilled on each section. “We’re kind of just getting the ball rolling here,” Dean said. Heinze said Devon hopes to duplicate the process in other areas as its operations move on. The company has not disclosed the cost of the project, which is ongoing, but it expects to save money because Devon will not have to truck in as much water. The project has diverted more than 7,400 truckloads of disposed water from county roads. “Cost saving wasn’t the primary motivator behind this project,” Allen said. “The facility allows us to have the water we need to continue our operations in a drought-prone area.”
Hamm urges panel to keep tax incentives BY RANDY KREHBIEL Tulsa World randy.krehbiel@tulsaworld.com
State oilman Harold Hamm urged a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee Thursday to keep certain tax incentives for his industry and to open more federally owned land to drilling. Hamm, chief energy adviser to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and a likely person of influence in a Romney administration, appeared in Washington before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy and Power. Oklahoma’s 1st District Congressman John Sullivan is co-chairman of the subcommittee. Hamm said new drilling technology, including hydraulic fracturing, has created “an entire new world of geology” that could unlock more oil than the United States has produced to date. “In 2005, we thought we were running out of natural gas,” Hamm said. “Today we are No. 1 in natural gas production in the world and No. 2 in crude oil production. We just passed Russia and are just behind Saudi Arabia.” Hamm refused to be drawn into the committee’s broader fight over alternative energy production — wind power in particular — and hydrocarbon resources. He did, however, defend oil and gas industry tax advantages, such as the intangible drilling expense deduction, saying U.S. production could fall 40 percent if it and other incentives are eliminated.

waved aside pleas for extension of the wind energy industry’s production tax credit, which it says it needs to survive. “Making North America energy independent within the next decade is an achievable goal,” he said afterward. “However the Obama administration is doing everything in their power to prevent it.” In written remarks, Hamm said the United States has 139.6 billion barrels of recoverable oil, or “enough to replace Persian Gulf imports for the next 50 years.” Hamm complained that not enough federal land is available for development and that the land that is available takes much longer than necessary to drill because of red tape. He suggested that states and not the federal government should regulate drilling on federal land. Some Democrats and witnesses pointed out that oil and gas production in the United States has risen sharply during the past three years and that the nation has become a net exporter of petroleum products for the first time in more than 60 years. Hamm said the advances in oil and gas production were achieved despite administration policies, not because of them.
Oil prices rise after Fed moves to boost economy BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The price of oil closed above $98 a barrel for the first time in more than four months after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced aggressive steps to boost the U.S. economy. The Fed said Thursday it will spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgagedback securities for an indefinite period. The purchases are intended to lower long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. Benchmark oil closed at $98.31, up $1.30. The last time it finished higher was May 4. Expectations of action by the Fed, as well as the
European Central Bank and China’s government, have balanced gloomy economic news and kept oil in a narrow range the past few weeks. Phil Flynn of the Price Futures Group said he expects the Fed decision to “reinvigorate” the stock market and boost the price of oil. The increase in oil should be gradual, however, as traders continue to focus on key economic indicators. Meanwhile, the average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. rose to $3.87, the highest since April 21 and just 7 cents below the high for the year. Natural gas ended down 2.6 cents at $3.037 per 1,000 cubic feet.
IN STOCK BP PLC BP PLC says it has agreed to sell its stake in a Norwegian oil field to AS Norske Shell for $240 million as part of its efforts to raise funds to pay for the cost of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The deal, which involves BP selling its 18 percent holding in the field, raises Norske Shell’s stake in the field to 44.56 percent. BP said Thursday that it has sold or agreed to sell more than $33 billion in assets.

UNDERWRITING DEFICIT ON TAX-AIDED PROGRAM COULD BE $15B
Crop insurance losses mount amid drought BY ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — Thousands of farmers are filing insurance claims this year after drought and tripledigit temperatures burned up crops across the nation’s Corn Belt, and some experts predict record insurance losses, exacerbated by changes that lowered some growers’ premiums. G.A. “Art” Barnaby, a Kansas State University Extension specialist in risk management, estimates underwriting losses on taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance will hit nearly $15 billion this year. He expects a staggering $25 billion in crop insurance claims to be filed by growers across the nation, driven primarily by one of the worst droughts in the U.S. decades. His loss estimate is based on a loss ratio of $2.50 for every dollar paid in premium. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency made changes to the insurance program in the past year that meant farmers in some states paid smaller premiums for corn and soybeans. The agency also adjusted yields for those crops upward to reflect trends, Barnaby said. “Anyone that is concerned about whether this will be sustainable over time will have to ask the question whether this was a good idea to cut rates,” said Barnaby, who 20 years ago helped develop the insurance program. “Now, as a farmer, I like paying a lower rate. But my guess is the rates were not cut that much to be noticeable, but in aggregate they do make a difference.” The rate reductions were based on assumptions that new technology would eliminate or reduce big losses, he said. “So it is ironic they got hit the first year out.” Under taxpayer-subsi-

dized crop insurance, farmers pay about 40 percent of the premium cost and the federal government picks up the rest. The government sets the rates and underwriting rules, but private companies pick the contracts they want to take a risk on. Coverage is based on yield and price. An underwriting loss or gain represents the difference between premiums paid and amount of claims paid. For the past decade, the crop insurance program has had an underwriting gain, Barnaby said. In 2009 and 2010, the government made $1.4 billion from the crop insurance program because premiums collected exceeded loss claims paid out. That money went into the general treasury. The program paid a record $10.8 billion in crop insurance claims last year but had a $1.1 billion underwriting gain because of record premiums. Insurers pocketed most of the gain. The Risk Management Agency lost about a halfbillion dollars. As of Monday, with fall harvests continuing, more than $1.42 billion had been paid in insurance claims filed early, according to Agriculture Department statistics. Texas led the nation with $518.6 million in claims paid. Kansas was second at $223 million, and Colorado was third with $66 million.
IN BRIEF RAIN IS TOO LATE FOR CORN ST. LOUIS — Recent rainfall came too late to help the nation’s corn crop being harvested in many parts, but it kept drought conditions from worsening in several Midwest and Plains states and should help crops still maturing. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly map, released Thursday, showed the area of Nebraska deemed to be in extreme or exceptional drought — the most severe — held steady in the seven days ending Tuesday, at 97.4 percent. Kansas remained unchanged (88.34 percent), and Illinois had little change (6.67 percent). With the U.S. having its worst drought in decades, corn and soybean prices have soared this summer. Major corn users — livestock farmers, the ethanol industry and nations importing it — will have to negotiate their use level, a sort of market rationing. ASSOCIATED PRESS
One way to invest is to trade just like ‘Uncle Herb’ does BY CHRISTINA REXRODE Associated Press
NEW YORK — To the long list of investing strategies, add this: I’ll have what she’s having. That’s the idea behind Ditto Trade, an online brokerage for anyone who has a lot of faith in the cousin, best friend or nextdoor neighbor who’s always bragging about their stock-trading chops. Attach your investment portfolio to theirs, and whenever they make a trade, so will you. No time to watch the market? No problem, as long as you trust the instincts of your Uncle Herb. Ditto Trade’s CEO, Joe Fox, said his company will empower the stock-trading masses. What he’s doing, he said, is tapping connections people already have with friends and family. “We’re not trying to reinvent the relationship,” Fox said. “We’re trying to automate it.” At Ditto, which went live this summer after several years of development and testing, business has been brisk — so much that Fox, 46, skipped a vacation to Europe last month with his wife, Lauren. (She went with a friend instead.) The company has about 25 employees, split between Chicago and Los Angeles, and has already outgrown the first two offices it rented in Chicago. Fox declines to give specifics but says the website has thousands of lead traders, each with an average of three to five followers. Clayton Cohn, 25, is a satisfied customer. He has a couple dozen friends, mostly Marine buddies, hanging on to his portfolio’s coattails. He started trading a few years ago with money he’d saved from deployments to Iraq, with no formal training but reading everything he could. His portfolio has ups and downs, but he’s doing well enough to trade full time and says he’s up about 20 percent over the past year. The site allows people to charge friends a monthly fee to follow, but Cohn doesn’t. “It’s no sweat off my back,” Cohn says. “I’m trading anyway.” Ditto isn’t the only brokerage to tap the follow-the-leader sentiment. Covestor, for example, lets people comb through

online profiles of “model managers,” then set their portfolios to mirror the trades of their favorites. TradeKing, Zecco, Charles Schwab and others have websites where clients can post about what they’re buying and selling, Facebook-like, with peers. Brokerage giant Vanguard is among the nonbelievers. It offers no such platform, saying it’s safer to invest broadly across the market than to chase hot tips — even those from the collective wisdom of other traders. “We advocate that buying the haystack is a better approach than looking for the needle,” says spokesman John Woerth. Like anything on the Internet, there’s also the risk that people aren’t who they say they are: Is the middle-aged financial adviser really just a 19-year-old day-trading between classes? Some companies offer to authenticate, to varying degrees, the traders who list themselves on the companies’ websites. Fox says fraud shouldn’t be a problem at Ditto. The website’s customers aren’t searching for an interesting stranger to mimic, he says, but syncing up with people they already know. A sister website, Followable.com, does allow investor matchmaking between strangers. Fox points out that lead traders there can choose to have their results “validated,” meaning the website will note that it has confirmed that person’s trades. At Ditto, followers pay about $7 per trade. Lead traders get a discount depending on how many people follow them, and trade for free with 18 or more.

BUSINESS BRIEFS UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASES
FISHERY ASSISTANCE LIKELY
WASHINGTON — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits jumped to the highest level in two months, although the figures were skewed in part by Hurricane Isaac. Applications increased by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 382,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s up from 367,000 the previous week. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, increased for the fourth straight week to 375,000. Isaac made landfall as Category 1 hurricane on Aug. 28 in southeastern Louisiana and was later downgraded to a tropical storm. It disrupted work in nine states and boosted applications by roughly 9,000, Labor officials said.

NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — Beef Products
Inc. sued ABC News Inc. for defamation Thursday over its coverage of a meat product that critics dub “pink slime,” claiming the network damaged the company by misleading consumers into believing it is unhealthy and unsafe. The Dakota Dunes, S.D.-based meat processor is seeking $1.2 billion in damages for roughly 200 “false and misleading and defamatory” statements about the product officially known as lean, finely textured beef, said Dan Webb, BPI’s Chicago-based attorney. The lawsuit also names several individuals as defendants, including ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer and the Department of Agriculture microbiologist who coined the term “pink slime.”
FORD CEO PLAN ON HOLD DETROIT — Ford’s board of directors
has ended a scheduled meeting with no announcement on the company’s CEO succession plan. There were rumors this week that the board was preparing to name a successor to 67-year-old CEO Alan Mulally. But Ford spokesman Jay Cooney said there would be no announcement Thursday. The board will meet again next month. Board members contacted by The Associated Press wouldn’t comment on the meeting. Mulally hasn’t said when he plans to retire. When he does, Ford’s Americas President Mark Fields is widely expected to get the CEO job. The 51-year-old Fields is a longtime Ford executive who helped lead Ford’s recent restructuring. Mulally’s next public appearance is Tuesday, when he will introduce the new Fusion midsize sedan — a critical product — in New York.
ment has declared a national fishery disaster in New England, opening the door for tens of millions of dollars in relief funds for fishermen. U.S. Sen. John Kerry said he’s secured a commitment from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to include $100 million for fishermen and fishing communities in emergency assistance legislation. He said the job after Thursday’s declaration is to fight for the money in a potentially reluctant Congress. Kerry and others have long pursued the disaster declaration, saying the industry is being devastated by federal fishing regulations. They say fishermen have been following rules designed to stop overfishing, but key fish stocks continue to decline, mandating ruinous catch limits. Kerry says the $100 million request includes direct aid and funds to improve fishery science.
PLEA ENTERED IN TAX FRAUD NEW YORK — A Chicago lawyer pleaded
guilty Thursday to helping wealthy clients dodge tens of millions of dollars in taxes in what prosecutors have called the largest tax fraud prosecution in history. Donna Guerin, 52, entered the plea in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to defraud the United States and tax evasion, charges that carry a total of up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing was set for Jan. 11. She agreed to forfeit $1.6 million. Guerin, a former partner at the now defunct Jenkens & Gilchrist law firm, said she helped draft opinion letters to make it seem like wealthy clients were investing in legitimate business ventures when they were not.
FDA WARNS OF BURNS WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers about rare chemical burns reported by people using popular pain relief products such as Bengay, Icy Hot and Flexall. The over-the-counter products are designed to provide short-term relief from minor muscle and joint aches and pains. But regulators say they have received reports of skin injuries ranging from first- to third-degree chemical burns caused by the products. Some of burns have required hospitalization, according to a notice posted to FDA’s website. The agency says consumers should stop using the pain relievers if they experience signs of skin injury, such as pain, swelling or blistering of the skin. FROM WIRE REPORTS

TORONTO-BASED SCEPTOR BUYS GAS CAN MAKER FOR $9.5M OUT OF BANKRUPTCY
Closed Miami plant sells; buyer will bring 80 jobs BY SHEILA STOGSDILL For The Oklahoman
MIAMI, OK — A Canadian manufacturing company plans to reopen a gas can plant, bringing 80 jobs to northeast Oklahoma, a Miami city official said Thursday. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., approved a $9.5 million offer from Toronto-based Sceptor to buy Blitz USA, said Philip Monckton, vice
president of sales and marketing. Sceptor bought the land, equipment and other assets, he said. Blitz U.S.A./F3 Brands in Miami filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed its plant July 31, laying off 117 workers. Company officials said product liability lawsuits prompted the 50-year-old company to file for bankruptcy. Scepter supplies 20 to 25 percent of the U.S. market with the consumer fuel
containers, Monckton said. The sale will become final Sept. 28, he said. Company officials visited the Miami plant and were pleased with its location, he said. One of the projects the company will undertake is to develop new plastic molds, Monckton said. Michele Bolton, Miami Area Chamber of Commerce interim executive director, said the company
will open in the spring. “We hope our legislators fight for tort reform that will limit frivolous lawsuits that caused Blitz to file bankruptcy,” Bolton said. Sceptor specializes in portable marine fuel tanks and military fuel and water tanks; PoleSharks, a device used with utility poles and pole top rescues; and consumer gasoline containers, according to the company’s website.
Hertz CEO updates Tulsa employees BY D.R. STEWART Tulsa World don.stewart@tulsaworld.com
TULSA — Merging Tulsa-based Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. with Hertz Global Holdings Inc. will create a dynamic company where talented Dollar Thrifty employees will have a secure future, Hertz CEO Mark Frissora says. “We want to make sure the message is out about what our intentions are — assuage any fears about turnover,” Frissora said. “There is a lot of talented people at Dollar Thrifty, and we don’t want them leaving.” In his first direct address to Dollar Thrifty employees, Frissora said in an open letter published Friday in the Tulsa World that his company is excited to be joining forces after a more than two-year courtship and three buyout offers for the Tulsa company. On Aug. 26, Dollar Thrifty and Hertz announced their boards had agreed to the $87.50-per-share, $2.3 billion acquisition of Dollar Thrifty by Hertz. Until the deal passes antitrust scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission, Hertz and Dollar Thrifty will be operated as standalone companies, Frissora said “When we receive approval, we will then turn our focus to transition and integration issues,” Frissora said. “Here’s what I can tell you now. First, there will be tremendous opportunities for individual success and advancement in our companies going forward. Adding the Dollar and Thrifty brands to Hertz will be critical to our future success in U.S. and international car rental markets. We plan to grow all three brands rapidly and we need great people to make the growth plans a reality.” Frissora said the merger of Hertz, the second-ranked U.S. rental car company, with Dollar Thrifty, the

EPA grants to address state runoff pollution BY PAUL MONIES Business Writer pmonies@opubco.com
The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded Oklahoma more than $2 million in grants to help curtail several types of pollution in watersheds. The money will go to the state’s secretary of environment to support the Oklahoma Nonpoint Source Management Plan, an ongoing effort to deal with runoff pollution from several sources.

carried from rainwater flowing across and into the ground. As it does, it may pick up pollutants such as excess fertilizer, animal waste or oil and grease from urban runoff. Tyler Powell, director of the environment secretary’s office, said the grant money is actually an extra allocation provided by the EPA. It comes from other states in the region that didn’t spend the money on environmental projects. “We’ve led the way for a long time on nonpoint source pollution mitigation through the Okla-
homa Conservation Commission,” Powell said. “What this shows is Oklahoma is doing its part in the region. This is a way to help those states.” The $2 million in grants will be used for four projects, Powell said. About $811,000 will go toward retention cells to reduce phosphorus and sediment in urban waterways. Another $640,000 will be used for riparian protection in the Eucha/Spavinaw watershed in northeastern Oklahoma. Almost $432,000 will go to the priority water-
shed implementation projects for Eucha/Spavinaw, Illinois River and Honey Creek watersheds. The remaining $176,000 will be used for sediment and phosphorus load reduction and stream bank stabilization projects. Apart from the special allocation announced Thursday, Oklahoma normally gets about $2.4 million in federal funding each year toward nonpoint source pollution mitigation, said Gayle Bartholomew, environmental grants manager for the office.

Q&A WITH ZACHARY A.P. OUBREA VETERANS HAVE JOB RIGHTS Q: What do employers need to know about reinstating military veterans who return from active duty? A: Under the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), employers are required to reinstate former vets if they gave proper notice to their employer in advance of their departure; their tour of service was less than five years; they make a timely request for re-employment, accompanied by proper documentation; and their separation from military service was under “honorable” conditions.

A: The law requires employers to re-employ veterans in the job they would have attained had they not left for active military duty, with the same seniority, pay and other benefits determined by seniority. USERRA also requires employers to make reasonable efforts to help returning vets make the transition back to their former jobs at the same proficiency level. In most cases, this means providing training or refresher courses. Q: What are the penalties for violating the law? A: Employers who violate the law should expect to reinstate the employee and, in many cases, pay court-ordered back pay and damages. In one recent federal court case, a U.S. Army reservist was awarded nearly $300,000 in back pay and damages when his former employer, a police department in Tennessee, failed to immediately reinstate him to his former position as a patrol sergeant. Although the returning veteran met all four qualifications of USERRA, the police department put him through the return-to-work process it applied to all employees returning from extended leave and assigned him a desk job instead of his former patrol sergeant position. The employee filed suit after he was terminated for violating the department’s written policy against dishonesty — specifically, he was found to have been less than forthcoming about circumstances surrounding his honorable discharge. While the court acknowledged the employer had a right to terminate an employee for violating company policy after his job had been fully restored, the court ruled the employer did not have to the right to limit or delay the officer’s re-employment “by requiring him to comply with its return-to-work process.” PAULA BURKES, BUSINESS WRITER
Auction: Future is still uncertain FROM PAGE 1B
move in when they learned Lam was about to lose control of the property. In the meantime, Lykins said, her space has been without heating or air conditioning, and she has a leak in a storage closet. Such complaints did not surprise Richard Suave, whose Prohibition Room restaurant closed last year after a bitter dispute with Lam over building operations. Suave complained that customers’ access to his restaurant was hampered by frequent parties, concerts and events Lam booked in the lobby outside his entrance. Box said he did “due diligence” and was familiar with the building’s maintenance challenges. He said existing leases will be considered, but must also fit with the building’s overall finances. When the Gold Dome was built at NW 23 and Classen in 1958, the twostory building with the familiar round anodized aluminum roof was touted by Citizens Bank as “the bank of tomorrow.” By the late 1990s, however, the property had seen a series of bank tenants either fail or acquired by larger bank chains. It was
then targeted for demolition by then-owner Bank One, which was planning to sell the corner to Walgreens. Bank One and Walgreens chose to build new locations east and west of the property and to let the Gold Dome stand after months of protests by preservationists and a sale of the building to Lam. Vacancy has gone up in recent years with the loss of the Prohibition Room restaurant and the Oklahoma Main Street Program as major tenants. Lam is also delinquent in paying property taxes, with records showing she owes $49,359 assessed over the past two years. The Oklahoma City Council last year paid off a $1 million federal loan it extended to Lam when she bought the property. City Planning Director Russell Claus said Lam has paid only interest to date on that loan. Lam was not present at the auction and could not be reached for comment. Her optical shop, Bonavision, is among the building’s remaining tenants. Blaney said Lam had tried to make arrangements to prevent the auction and pay off her debt, but was unable to do so.

Seasonally adjusted month-to-month change
The University of Michigan releases its monthly consumer sentiment index for September today. The snapshot of Americans’ willingness to spend is expected to show an increase for the second month in a row. Consumer spending drives roughly 70 percent of economic growth, so another uptick in consumer sentiment will bolster hope that the economy is gaining traction.

Consumers increased their retail spending in July by the most in five months after a frugal spring. And economists anticipate that the Commerce Department will report today that they continued to open their wallets in August at the same rate. A group of 18 retailers ranging from Target to Macy’s reported last month that August sales rose 6 percent – the industry’s best performance since March.

The Labor Department’s consumer price index hasn’t shown an increase since March. Energy costs fell in July, offsetting a slight increase in food prices. But economists forecast that the latest index, out today, will show that prices rose in August. Gas prices have been rising, and a drought in the Midwest has damaged corn, soybeans and other crops, which is expected to have pushed up food costs.

Nintendo says Wii U will launch on Nov. 18 Associated Press
NEW YORK — Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U gaming console will start at $300 and go on sale in the U.S. on Nov. 18, in time for the holidays, the company said Thursday. A “deluxe” version will sell for $350. It will be black instead of white and include extra features such as more memory, a charging stand and the game “Nintendo Land.” Nintendo Co. has been trying to drum up excitement for the Wii U, which is the first major gaming console to launch since 2006. The device has a touch-screen controller called the Wii U GamePad. It also plays games made for the original Wii. Nintendo said the latest game in its wildly popular Mario franchise, “New Super Mario Bros. U,” will be available when the new
console launches. It will include new ways to play that use the GamePad. It will also offer new challenges for advanced Mario players, such as trying to complete a level without touching the ground. “Mario” and other classic games have long been Nintendo’s main draw. The company also announced new entertainment features for the console. Called “Nintendo TVii,” the service collects all the ways users have to watch movies, TV shows and sports. This includes pay-TV accounts along with services such as Hulu and Netflix. The GamePad works as a fancy remote controller and will let viewers browse shows they can watch. TVii “brings all of your services to one place,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America.

Economy: Bernanke hopes policy cuts unemployment
NEW ENTERTAINMENT FEATURES COME WITH CONSOLE

So if you like the TV show “Modern Family,” for example, it will pull in the show’s episodes from every available source. The service also captures scenes from live TV and displays them on the controller. Viewers can then comment on the scenes and share that on Twitter or Facebook if they want. With this feature, Nintendo is playing into what many people already do while they watch TV — comment and share things with friends using a second screen such as a smartphone. TVii will be available Nov. 18 as well, at no extra cost. Among the games available on the Wii U will be Activision Blizzard Inc.’s “Call of Duty Black Ops II.” The “Call of Duty” games have been holiday best-sellers for the past several years.
outlook for economic growth this year, though it was more optimistic about the next two years. It said it expects growth to be no stronger than 2 percent this year, down from its forecast of 2.4 percent in June. It said it expected the unemployment rate to be no lower than 6.7 percent in 2014, with inflation remaining at or below 2 percent for three more years. Bernanke made clear that higher stock prices are among the Fed’s goals in buying bonds. Stock gains increase Americans’ wealth, he noted, and typically lead individuals and businesses to spend and invest more. But some economists said they thought the benefit to the economy would be slight. “We doubt it will be enough to get the economy on the right track,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics. “It’s only a matter of time before speculation begins as to when the Fed will raise its purchases from $40 billion a month.”
The Fed’s ability to increase home buying might be limited even if its bond purchases help lower mortgage rates. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is 3.55 percent. That’s barely above the record low of 3.49 percent set in July. While the U.S. housing market has improved, it has a long way to go to reach a full recovery. Some economists forecast that sales of previously occupied homes will reach about 4.6 million this year. That’s well below the 5.5 million annual sales pace considered healthy.
Avoiding stagnation Bernanke sought to lower expectations about how much the Fed’s intervention might help. “We’re just trying to get the economy moving in the right direction, to make sure that we don’t stagnate at high levels of unemployment,” he said. “Monetary policy, as I’ve said many times, is not a panacea.” The Fed’s statement was approved 11-1. The lone dissenter was Richmond Fed President Jeffrey
Lacker, who worried about igniting inflation. The Fed’s new bond purchases, which will start Friday, amount to less per month than either of its first two bond programs. But by committing to buying bonds indefinitely, the Fed is seeking to assure investors and consumers that borrowing will remain cheap far into the future. “In many ways, today’s actions represent the beginning of a new phase in Bernanke’s efforts to get the economy moving again,” said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase Bank. Some economists suggested that the Fed might continue to buy $40 billion a month in mortgage bonds for up to three years. That’s how long some expect it will take for the unemployment rate to dip below 7 percent, toward a “normal” rate of 6 percent or less. If the new bond buying lasts three years, Ashworth said it would add about $1.4 trillion to the Fed’s purchases. That would be close to the $1.7 trillion the Fed spent in its first round of bond buying.
Fed: Stock-shift expected FROM PAGE 1B
also its highest since December 2007. The Nasdaq composite index, which has been trading at its highest levels since 2000, was up 41.52 at 3,155.83. David Abuaf, chief investment officer at Hefty Wealth Partners, said he expects investors to keep shifting from safer assets like government bonds to stocks. That could push stock prices higher and start a cycle of increased wealth and spending. “People will feel more confident, consumers will buy more goods, and GDP growth will increase,” he said, referring to the gross domestic product, or economic output. The stock market had already enjoyed a
summer rally, in part because investors were betting on more Fed action. The Dow has climbed more than 1,100 points since the start of June. Still, stocks spiked Thursday in industries across the economy. Materials companies, which tend to do well when the economy picks up, enjoyed the biggest gain — 2.6 percent as a group. Bank stocks also surged.
T-note yield slips In Treasury trading, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell slightly to 1.73 percent from 1.79 percent late Wednesday. The dollar fell slightly against major currencies — almost a penny against the euro, which rose to a hair under $1.30.

OSU FOOTBALL STILLWATER — Oklahoma State has a television partnership with FOX Sports in the works, a source told The Oklahoman on Thursday. The potential deal, which was first reported by the Tulsa World, is believed to be similar to the ones Oklahoma announced Wednesday and Texas Tech and TCU announced Thursday that will televise school-specific programming across Fox Sports’ various regional and national platforms. The source said it is unknown when the deal between OSU and FOX Sports will be finalized. An OSU official would not comment when reached Thursday because nothing has been finalized. OSU athletic director Mike Holder did not return a message seeking comment. OU and FOX Sports came to terms on a 10-year partnership called the Sooner Sports TV package, which will include live broadcasts of men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball games, as well as Olympic sporting events. It will also carry pregame and postgame shows for football games, coach Bob Stoops’ weekly show and the spring football game. Regular-season football game coverage is not included. SEE OSU, PAGE 3C

IDWEST CITY — Carl Albert defensive coordinator Mike Corley was just finishing his 35th round of radiation treatment and his third go of chemotherapy. Corley was about as low has he had been in the few months since he was first diagnosed with cancer. “Mike was kind of down that particular night when the kids heard someone outside,” Corley’s wife, Teah, said. “We opened the door, and there was about 12 to 15 football players walking up to our door.”

They brought Mike Corley a backpack, prayed with him and just spent time with their coach. The players couldn’t have known just how much it meant. And it came at the perfect time. “You look back on your teaching and coaching, and you hope you influence kids in the right way,” Corley said. “As a young coach, you start out and you think that it’s all about
winning, but you find out real quick it’s not. It’s about the influence that you have on them.” Corley has been continuously reminded of that influence since he was diagnosed, after discovering a lump on the side of his neck. Sharon Corley, Mike’s mother, said these reminders are some of the little blessings that come from anything — even
something as dreaded as a cancer diagnosis. She should know. Sharon has been living with cancer for a decade and done plenty to show her son how to handle the ordeal. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, hearing that he had cancer,” Sharon said. “I would’ve gone through it 100,000 times for him not to have to go through it. I think I went through it so I could help him.” One of the blessings of Sharon’s diagnosis, in addition to helping Mike prepare for his own treatment, has been the additional time spent with her children and grandchildren. Sharon and Bob Corley still live in Pawhuska, where Mike was raised, but they come to Oklahoma SEE LIGHTS, PAGE 7C

Ollie takes over UConn program BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Kevin
Ollie can win as many games, even as many national championships, as his predecessor and former coach did at Connecticut. But he can’t transform the program. Jim Calhoun did that already. During his 26 seasons in Storrs, Calhoun turned a regional New England program into a powerhouse, becoming one of just five coaches to win three national titles or more. Add to that seven Big East tournament crowns and 10 regularseason championships. No wonder the 10,000 seats were usually filled at Gampel Pavilion, the arena Calhoun gets credit for building. All those accomplishments are history now. What’s left are high expectations for a rookie coach. Ollie, who played for Calhoun from 1991-95, returned two years ago as an assistant after a long NBA career that included a season with the Thunder in 2009-10. Thursday, he took over the program he once starred for — a choice Calhoun fully supported. “Simply put, he epitomizes what we want our

students to be about,” Calhoun said. “When I started here we felt we could do anything and I feel that way now, everything’s in place. This is an exciting time as we go forward.” And a difficult one. He takes over a team that is banned from the Big East and NCAA tournaments because of poor academic performances. With a one-year contract, Ollie won’t have much time to show what he can do on the bench and on the recruiting trail. And his depleted roster isn’t likely to add to Calhoun’s stellar numbers — 27 players selected in the NBA draft, including 13 lottery

picks. “We’re going to attack this thing head on,” Ollie said. “We have enough to do it. Coach will be there right beside me as he has always been. He’s been a second father to me from the day I arrived here as a recruit and believe me, that won’t change.” Ollie’s contract will pay him a prorated $384,615 and ends on April 4, the last day of the 2012-13 basketball season. Athletic director Warde Manuel said there’s a reason it’s a single-year deal. “I like to win and Kevin does, too. We’re not here just to participate in games,” Manuel said. “I’m
looking to see how he is on the sideline. How he handles decision-making, substitutions, things that are normal in a game. How does he handle losses with the team and motivate them the next day to come back and play? “It truly is a long-term plan, but I want to see where Kevin is before we extend that contract. The commitment is there. He knows it.” Ollie refused to get caught up in the discussion. “Everything I’ve done has prepared me for sliding over into that chair,” he said. “I’m going to coach this team like I’ve got a 10-, 15-year contract. I hope it’s for a lifetime. I want to retire one day from the University of Connecticut like Jim Calhoun did.” Ollie will have some familiar faces on the bench since all four assistants are staying. But there are only five players returning who saw significant playing time last season, and there will be no postseason play at all. “I told my players this morning, ‘It’s all stairs now. No escalators,’ ’` Ollie said. “Escalators are for cowards. Every day now will be one step at a time.”

Former PC standout Proctor took long path to St. Xavier Carver Proctor said the weather threw him a curve at first. Almost four years later, though, he’s become accustomed to bitter cold and mountainous snow piles that can start as soon as Halloween and continue through Easter. The defensive back is two games into his senior football season at St. Xavier College in Chicago and said: “I feel blessed to be here. Everything happens for a reason, and it’s turned out really well for me. I’ve had fun.” Five years ago, when Proctor played for Putnam City High School, he was being recruited by Division I schools such as Tulsa and Rice. Division II programs in Kansas — Emporia State, Fort Hays and Washburn — were interested. Proctor chose Fort Hays, but coaching changes and playing time opportunities started a journey north. The Oklahoma City native has played college ball at Iowa Central Community College and Winona State in Minnesota. And now St. Xavier, where he helped the Cougars win the NAIA championship in 2011. “If you told me in high school that I would end up here, I would’ve said you were crazy,” Proctor said with a laugh. Saturday will be a little special for Proctor, who will recognize some faces on the opposing team. Langston is the guest at Deaton Memorial Field. The game will provide a test for each team. St. Xavier is ranked No. 1 with a 2-0 record. Both wins have been by blowout. Langston is 1-1, with its loss a threepoint decision at FCS member Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The victory was a 19-
point shutout over a mediocre Bacone club. Proctor will likely line up against Langston wide receiver Justin Robinson, a former Northeast High standout. Proctor said he and Robinson are friends, although they never played against each other in high school. “There have been other guys at Langston I’ve known, but they’ve all graduated,” Proctor said. “So playing against (Robinson) will be fun. But after the game, they’ll get to go back to Oklahoma, close to my home and everything. But I have a good family here, too, my coaches and teammates.”
BROTHERLY LOVE Sam Moses starts at defensive tackle for Central Oklahoma, which visits Emporia State (Kan.) on Saturday. The possibility exists that Moses will face brother Josh Moses, a backup guard for the Hornets. Both are seniors and stand 6-foot-2. But Josh has a significant advantage in weight over Sam, 306 pounds to 275 pounds.
MYSTERY DATE Panhandle State (1-1) has an unusual football date scheduled Saturday in Denver. The Aggies will play Cole College, a relatively new four-year institution that only holds night classes at a high school. The college president, T.J. Cole, is also the head football coach. The team slogan is building a football program “one brick at a time.” And in this case, that means at a snail’s pace. In 2011, the Jaguars had players ages 18 to 25 on the roster.

TALL ORDER Bacone will be overmatched Saturday, when it takes on Central Arkansas in Conway. Central Arkansas is 1-1 and ranked No. 20 in the FCS. The Purple Bears opened their season Sept. 1 with a 49-27 loss at Ole Miss. UCA was not intimidated by 50,544 fans at VaughtHemingway Stadium in Oxford — it actually led the Rebels 20-14 at halftime. Central Arkansas, once an NAIA power, rebounded last weekend with a 42-20 rout of Murray State in Kentucky. Since Bacone’s season-opening win, 25-20 over Tabor (Kan.) on Aug. 25, the Warriors have lost by two points at Arkansas Tech and 19 points at Langston. COMPILED BY SCOTT MUNN

cluded games against junior college varsity and B teams; local semipro teams; and club squads from other universities. All but two games were road dates, and the transportation was a school bus. In 2012, Cole College football remains a rough-around-the-edges operation. The athletic program’s website is still advertising football tryouts — for the 2011 season. No schedule, no statistics, no roster. Panhandle State coach Russell Gaskamp, who has experienced the business-like operation of big-time football while playing on the offensive line for the Texas Longhorns, has little idea about what the Aggies are getting themselves into. He said Cole apparently played a game late Monday night, “and we have yet to be able to get any film. I am pretty sure they have lost all of their games this year, but we really don’t know much about them.”

By any name, they’re still the Ragin’ Cajuns OSU FOOTBALL | SATURDAY’S OPPONENT CAN GO BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT MONIKERS Mark Hudspeth is the coach at LouisianaLafayette, or UL.
BY GINA MIZELL Staff Writer gmizell@opubco.com
STILLWATER — Mike Gundy immediately knew he had made a mistake. During the opening statement of his Monday press conference, the Oklahoma State coach said his staff had begun watching film on the Cowboys’ next opponent. He called the school “Lafayette.” “As soon as I said it, I knew I messed up,” Gundy said. “That’s the first thing that came to my mind. I didn’t want to say ULL, because it’s a tongue twister, so I just fired ‘Lafayette’ off.” Actually, calling the school “ULL” would not have pleased the folks in Louisiana, either. Yes, the name of the school that comes to Stillwater this Saturday is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. But in recent years, it has started to call its athletic teams “Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns” — and has asked others to do the same.

“We examined the amount of programming that we would have available to us, so getting at least 1,000 hours of programming in a multi-platform network was really exciting for us,” said OU athletic director Joe Castiglione. “This is at least 10 times the amount of programming OU has been able to offer previously to our fans.” Texas Tech’s multiyear agreement with FOX Sports officially launched with its Sept. 1 football game against Northwestern State. It will allow for broadcasts of all available men’s basketball games, up to 20 Olympic sports

“It’s not that we’re changing from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette,” sports information director Brian McCann said. “That is the name of our school. It’s just that in referring to our athletic programs, sometimes you want to simplify it so people understand. “We just thought that if you go Louisiana-Lafayette, it kind of clutters things up a little bit. We just want something a little simpler, a little faster. That’s why in keeping with the spirit from the state, ‘Louisiana’s Ragin’ Ca-
juns’ fits.” Name changes over time are natural in the worlds of academia and athletics. Oklahoma A&M became Oklahoma State in the 1950s when the school wanted to show that it had broadened its curriculum. And its athletic nicknames have ranged from Aggies, Agriculturists and Tigers before the Cowboys. Gundy even remembers a time when some people on campus attempted to start a revolution to change the “OSU” abbreviation to “O State” The University of Loui-
and magazine shows such as Red Raider Weekly and Raider Power. “Our new partnership provides a terrific platform for Texas Tech Athletics to extend its visibility to more than 9 million viewers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and beyond,” said Learfield Sports’ VP of Digital and Television Media, Diane Penny. “We’re really pleased to be working alongside FOX Sports to deliver excellent coverage for the Red Raiders regionally and nationally, while continuing to reach fans globally via the school’s official athletics website.” TCU’s agreement also includes the rights to one football game each season (Grambling State for 2012), all available men’s basketball games and mutually agreed upon women’s basketball, baseball, soccer,
volleyball and Olympic events. “I couldn’t be more pleased with this partnership,” TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Fox gives us a great platform to share our product, not only in the state of Texas, but the surrounding states. It gives us unbelievable exposure.” The OU, Texas Tech and TCU deals came one week after the Big 12 announced a 13-year contract with ESPN/ABC and FOX Sports for its broadcasting rights for football and men’s basketball games. The OU and Texas Tech agreements were made in conjunction with Learfield Communications, which manages the multimedia rights for more than 50 universities and associations, including OSU.
OSU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Walsh’s role still undefined Through two games, opportunities for backup quarterback J.W. Walsh have been limited. He ran his special package — designed to utilize his ability to run and throw — for one series against Savannah State and one play against Arizona. Walsh also ran OSU’s regular offense against Savannah State. As for the “Walsh Package,” Walsh’s first play against the Tigers was a 13-yard run to the right side, before Joseph Randle broke a 38-yard run to the 6-yard line. In a way, that long run may have ruined the Cowboys’ plans to experiment more with the package, and Jeremy Smith scored two plays later. Against Arizona, Walsh came in for a fourth-and-1 at midfield in the second quarter and was stopped short of the first down. The play started in the diamond formation with backs Randle, Jeremy Seaton and Kye Staley, before Seaton motioned to Walsh’s right side. Walsh ran to his right on the keeper, but could not get past the sticks. “Obviously, it didn’t work very good,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “Tried to get a yard and got a half-ayard. I don’t think that falls on J.W. I think it falls on the way it was blocked. At that time, you’d like to think you can get a yard.”
SILENCE NOT ALWAYS GOLDEN There’s been a lot of singing and dancing — some by Gundy — in OSU locker rooms in recent years. Saturday’s postgame scene provided a stark contrast. “You never want to go into a quiet locker room,” Smith said. “That’s a locker room you always hate being in, because those guys want to say something.”

COWBOYS REFOCUS ON TAKEAWAYS Skeptics of the Oklahoma State defense last season often pointed to its NCAAbest 44 takeaways as part luck, even though the Cowboys’ trend of forcing turnovers dates back to defensive coordinator Bill Young’s arrival in 2009. From 2009-11, OSU led the nation with 108 takeaways, 17 more than second-place Oregon during that span. But so far in 2012, OSU has forced just two turnovers in two games, including zero against Arizona in Saturday’s 59-38 loss. Defensive end Cooper Bassett said his unit needs to refocus on gaining takeaways, starting with practice. Keep in mind, through two games last season, the Cowboys had forced only three turnovers. They went on to snag 41 takeaways in their final 11 contests.
COWBOYS LEAD NATION IN TACKLES FOR LOSS Through two games, OSU leads the nation with 23 tackles for loss. Those stops have resulted in 84 yards in losses. By comparison, OSU
produced 91 tackles for loss all of last season — 13 games — meaning the Cowboys are already onefourth of the way to that total. End Ryan Robinson leads the way with three tackles for loss and 1 1/2 sacks. BY JOHN HELSLEY AND GINA MIZELL
siana at Lafayette has changed its name, too. Before 1999, the school was called Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute (1898-1921), Southwestern Louisiana Institute (19211960) and the University of Southwestern Louisiana (1960-1999). Though in the 1980s, the school did try to call itself the University of Louisiana before the state legislature nullified the change. This recent attempted alternation isn’t as dramatic, as McCann said there are no plans to go back to the state legislature to try to get the name of the school changed. The shortened name for athletics is similar to the version used by the University of Texas at Austin, which calls itself just “Texas,” or the University of California at Berkeley, which calls itself just “California” or “Cal,” when referring to its team names, despite being a part of a larger university system. “The state says that anytime you refer to the university as the Universi-
ty of Louisiana, you have to put ‘at Lafayette’ included in there,” said McCann, who also noted that the university’s email system uses “louisiana.edu” rather than “ull.edu” or “louisiana-lafayette.edu.” “But it doesn’t touch on how to abbreviate the name, how to refer to ‘Ragin’ Cajuns’ or if you simply go by ‘Louisiana.’ That’s not included in anything from the state, so we’re just working with the rule they gave us.” Of course, there’s another “Louisiana hyphen” school that plays Division I athletics and FBS football in Louisiana-Monroe, the squad that upset Arkansas last week. Attempts to reach that athletic department for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. McCann cannot pinpoint when exactly the transition from LouisianaLafayette to Louisiana started to gain traction, but says it has been fandriven for the past several years. And some have already adopted the change. All of OSU’s references to Satur-
day’s opponent — game notes, athletic website, etc. — say “Louisiana.” Lafayette’s newspaper, The Advertiser, calls the school “UL” on first reference. But other public outlets continue to use “Louisiana-Lafayette.” “(Fans have) blown up more than one announcer’s Twitter account because of referring to the university as ‘ULL,’ which is something that we don’t like,” McCann said. “We prefer just ‘UL.’ We’re responding to our fan base. “We just like to be referred to in a manner in which our fans and our students and our alumni are happy.” To backtrack: the school OSU plays Saturday is not just “Lafayette” — that’s a liberal arts college in Easton, Penn. It is technically still the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and there are no plans to try to change that school name soon. But when referring to athletic teams, the school prefers “Louisiana” or “UL.” The safest bet? Just call them the Ragin’ Cajuns.

NFL Toughness makes impact DALLAS | FORMER SOONER FIRMLY ENTRENCHED AS THE COWBOYS’ STARTING RUNNING BACK BY CARLOS MENDEZ Fort Worth Star-Telegram
IRVING, Texas — Before they drafted him, the Dallas Cowboys wondered if DeMarco Murray could be a tough inside runner. They know now. His performance in the season opener against the New York Giants, on top of the promise he showed last year as a rookie, has them so convinced, they’re no longer even pretending they have a committee or co-starter approach at running back. “DeMarco Murray is our starter at tailback,” coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday at Valley Ranch. Murray ran for 131 yards on 20 carries against the Giants. Felix Jones got 12 snaps, no carries, two targets, no catches. “There’s definitely a role for Felix, and we like what he does for our offense both in the run game and in the pass game,” Garrett said. “Depending on how the game goes, he’s going to get more touches or fewer touches.” It’s probably going to be fewer as the Cowboys go with the wear-themdown mentality that worked ideally against the Giants. Murray ran for 111 of his 131 yards in the second half, including a 48-yard run that demonstrated both his bullish power and his open-field dynamic. “I love it how he explodes into the guy who is trying to tackle him at the end of the run,” Garrett said. “His pads are always down, and he’s always finishing forward. I think it’s good to get yards that way, but I also think it sends a message to the guy who’s trying to tackle him.” Murray shrugs. He came from a spread offense at Oklahoma. He’s known as a speed guy. But he’s also 6-foot and 215 pounds. The words are almost visible on his face: Why would anyone wonder if he was a physical player? “At the end of the day, I’d rather go north and south than go east and west and try to shake and make someone miss,” he said. “But it just depends on the situation. There are a lot of good defenders in this league, so there aren’t too many times when you can make guys miss, and there aren’t too many games when you’re oneon-one. But I just try to finish as much as I can.” The running style radiates confidence. Murray has it in himself. He is transferring it to everyone else. “When we see DeMarco attack, it gets us going,
NFL NOTEBOOK
AP source: Goodell to meet Monday with Vilma NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will meet Monday with Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma to discuss Vilma’s suspension that was temporarily lifted last week. A person familiar with the plans tells The Associated Press that Vilma will be in New York to present his case in the Saints’ bounties scandal for which he was suspended for the 2012 season. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting has not been announced. Vilma and three other players were suspended, but an appeals panel ruled last Friday that Goodell must clarify his earlier rulings to ensure no part of his decisions was based on salary cap violations. Goodell still could reinstate the suspensions to Vilma, New Orleans defensive end Will Smith, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove for participating in a pay-for-injure program that violates the league’s detrimental conduct policy. Smith, Fujita and Hargrove are expected to meet with Goodell on Tuesday.
PETERSON SAYS HE’S NOT YET FULL STRENGTH, BUT SOON Adrian Peterson says his left knee has been a little sore and stiff this week after a successful season opener for Minnesota. The former Oklahoma Sooners star said Thursday the expected discomfort lasted about two days but is “nothing that would hold me back.” He rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns last Sunday for the Vikings, a little more than eight months after reconstructive surgery. Peterson says he’s at about 95 percent strength. He says he’ll reach 100 percent soon and predicts the difference, once he regains the remaining explosiveness in his leg, will be “like night and day.” Peterson had 17 carries last week, but the Vikings aren’t ready to promise more heading into Sunday’s game against the Colts.

too,” left guard Nate Livings said. “You see what kind of mindset he’s in. You’ve got a back that’s laying it on the line, too. It kind of makes you feel appreciated for laying it on the line. It just all comes together. It’s real appreciated to see that.” Garrett said Murray’s physical play allows him to squeeze more out of his runs. “I don’t know if any of us really, really saw how physical he was at the end of plays,” Garrett said. “All the great runners that I’ve been around are guys that
finish runs. You think it’s a 4-yard run; boy, he made 6. You think it’s an 8-yard run; aw, he made a first down. He has that ability. You see that in space. There were a number of plays where he caught the ball in space, made a guy miss, and before you know it, I’m calling a secondand-4 play.” Murray had only one carry over 5 yards in the first half against the Giants. In the second half, he had runs of 9, 48, 9, 15 and 7 among his 15 touches. The Cowboys put the ball in his hands to get the final
first down they needed, although it was called back by a penalty. “It’s demoralizing for a defense to get a back that is going to give more to you than you give to him,” owner Jerry Jones said. “I think that pays off.” Livings said he didn’t hear a peep from the Giants’ defense last week. “No, you didn’t hear anything,” he said. “You just heard the pop. The pop says a lot.” For Murray, the 6.6 yards per rush against the Giants marked the seventh time he averaged 4.0 yards or more per rush in a game in his young NFL career. In 14 games with the Cowboys, he has rushed for 1,028 yards. Can’t do that without being both a good outside runner and a tough inside runner. The Cowboys used to wonder. “Now they know,” Murray said. Distributed by MCT Information Services
Darrelle Revis walked off the field thinking he just had a headache — until he started feeling a bit strange. The New York Jets cornerback suffered what the team called a “mild concussion” — the first of his football career at any level — and it caught him by surprise. “It’s been a fog, like being in a fog,” Revis said Thursday, speaking about his injury for the first time. “I’ve never had a concussion, so this is something you’ve got to get guidance from the training staff and the doctors.” The Jets will make a decision on Revis’ availability before the team travels to Pittsburgh on Saturday for their game Sunday against the Steelers. Revis has been able to run and lift weights, and attend meetings all week.
ARIZONA COACH INCHES CLOSER TO RULING OUT SKELTON Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is inching closer to acknowledging that Kevin Kolb will be the starting quarterback Sunday at New England. John Skelton, who sprained his right ankle Sunday in the season opener against Seattle, hasn’t practiced this week, although “he did a little bit of work in the rehab stuff” on Thursday, Whisenhunt said. Skelton, who beat out Kolb for the starting job in preseason, had to be carted off the field in the fourth quarter. Kolb came on and completed 6 of 8 passes for 66 yards in the winning drive, capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts as Arizona won 20-16.

GREEN BAY 23, CHICAGO 10
Packers harass Cutler in defensive win BY CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer
GREEN BAY, Wis. — On a night when defenses dominated the NFL’s most storied rivalry, the Packers got creative — and it worked. Punter Tim Masthay and backup tight end Tom Crabtree combined for a touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter, and the Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler in a 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Thursday. Cutler threw four interceptions, including a pair to Tramon Williams. Facing a fierce Packers pass rush all night, Cutler was sacked seven times, including 31⁄2 for Clay Matthews. New Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall
was held to two catches for 24 yards. “Clay was incredible,” Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “Defense causing turnovers, if they play like this we’re going to be hard to beat.” The Bears also lost running back Matt Forte to an ankle injury. After Williams collected his second interception, Rodgers finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter, hitting Donald Driver for a 26-yard touchdown and a 23-3 lead. But Rodgers threw an interception to Tim Jennings and the Bears finally cashed in. Facing fourthand-7 at the Green Bay 21, Cutler threw a touchdown to Kellen Davis, cutting the lead to 23-10 with 6:49 remaining. But the Bears
couldn’t mount a comeback as Matthews and the Packers kept turning up the heat. Rodgers finished the game 22 of 32 for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He got roughed up, too, getting sacked five times. Green Bay got a scare when the NFL MVP appeared to hurt his right arm early in the game, but he stayed in. Cutler was 11 for 27 for 126 yards. Earlier in the week, a confident Cutler wished the Packers’ defensive backs “good luck” in trying to match up physically with a new-look wide receiver corps led by Marshall. Stalked by Williams for much of the night, Marshall didn’t see much of the ball. And he couldn’t convert his one big oppor-
tunity, dropping a potential touchdown in the third quarter. Mason Crosby hit three field goals for Green Bay, including a 54-yarder in the fourth quarter. The biggest play of the night, though, came from the unlikely tandem of Masthay and Crabtree. With the Packers facing fourth-and-26 on the Chicago 27 late in the second quarter, Masthay, the punter who also functions as the holder on field goals, and Crosby appeared to line up for a field goal attempt. But Masthay took the snap and flipped the ball to Crabtree, who ran through a huge hole and streaked all the way to the end zone. “That’s a gutsy call,” Rodgers said. “It worked out.”

New masks catch on at OU FACEMASKS | THE TREND JUSTIN TUCK STARTED HAS EXTENDED TO SOONER LINEMEN

OU FOOTBALL NORMAN — Brad Camp
pulled open the door of one light brown cabinet, then another and another and another. Tucked neatly inside were stacked, white facemasks. They were at least 11 cabinets, maybe more, that contained row after row of masks. Some were made of carbon or tubular steel. The most expensive masks were made of titanium. The craze of facemasks around college football has Camp, Oklahoma’s director of athletics equipment, extremely busy. He isn’t sure on the exact total of facemasks within his equipment room, but with seven helmet styles, and anywhere from seven to 14 masks that fit per helmet … well, he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Then the Justin Tuck craze hit. The New York Giants defensive end created his own facemask that he wore while playing in the Super Bowl. The mask is comprised of six cross bars. The bars were made to leave little open space to prevent an opponent from slipping their fingers through the bars, grabbing Tuck’s mask and pulling on it to hurt his neck. Luckily for guys such as Oklahoma’s Jamarkus McFarland and R.J. Washington, Camp was able to order the mask in time for spring practice. OU is one of the first college programs in the country to get the new style of mask, which is known to equipment managers as the CUS3BD-HT-SP. Camp sat on the countertop of the equipment room as he picked up one

facemask, then another. Dom Whaley wears one like Adrian Peterson. McFarland wants the Justin Tuck mask. Tony Jefferson likes to switch up his style. So how often are the players actually asking for a new look with their facemask? “More often than I would like,” Camp said with a laugh. “Most of them, once they kind of find their style, they stick with it because that’s there look. … but you might get a guy, he’s one of the first two or three guys that gets a mask on and all of a sudden you get a whole position, like all the defensive backs decide, ‘OK, we want this look now.’” McFarland is one of the defensive linemen who made the switch to Tuck’s style of mask. “It looks aggressive,” McFarland said. “We wanted to have a little swagger.” The offensive line doesn’t really go for a look
as a unit. Sophomore Adam Shead said he thinks his facemask makes him look intimidating. “Behind it, you can’t see my eyes and you have one of these grill-lookin’-type things,” Shead said. “It looks kind of like a monster.” Punter Tress Way wears a quarterback’s style helmet and mask. He said if he could, he’d return to the single bar facemask, but those aren’t legal anymore. “You’ve got to turn your swag up in your own way,” Way said. The style of the helmet isn’t the only reason Camp’s equipment room is packed with cabinets full of facemasks. The Sooners practice with a heavier mask, which is mainly carbon steel. On game day, they play with a titanium mask. “From a weight standpoint, in the fourth quarter, the defensive lineman, offensive lineman is down there and it’s easier to get
your head up if you got a half pound or a pound less of weight on your neck,” Camp said. The titanium is also only used on game day because it’s about five to six times more expensive than carbon steel. While Camp has never seen a facemask actually break, he has seen them bend. In a year, they’ll replace about 20 to 25 bent facemasks — normally the ones on the player’s practice helmets since those are being used four days a week compared to the use of a game helmet. Since the Giants’ Super Bowl victory, Tuck designed a new mask that is exclusive to him, and for right now, that’s OK with Camp and the Sooners. “One of these guys decides, ‘Well I’m going to be different again so now I’m going to change and go do something else again,’” Camp said about his cabinets full of facemasks. “It is what it is.”

Dungy as OU’s QB? It could’ve happened
N
the next year. Switzer said the higher limit allowed coaches to take chances on players, and to recruit more players from around the country. “We had to be more selective with the 30 limit,” Switzer said. In January 1973, just before the NCAA scholarship limit came down, Switzer was still OU’s offensive coordinator and on a recruiting trip in Michigan, where he was impressed by a running quarterback from Parkside High School in Jackson, Mich. “I was recruiting Tony Dungy, and I got this call.
Chuck (Fairbanks) said, ‘Come on home,’” Switzer said. “The rule went into effect immediately, so our sack was full. “I was in Detroit to talk to players up in that area, and because you had 50 scholarships, you could go lots of places. You could take a shot with kids around the country.” Later in January 1973, Fairbanks left to become the New England Patriots’ head coach, and Switzer took over. Dungy came to Minnesota expected to be a run-first quarterback, and early on, that’s what he was. He earned his first start on Oct. 6, 1973 — his 18th birthday — at home against No. 2 Nebraska. By his junior season, Minnesota installed a pass-first offense, and Dungy ended his college career ranked fourth alltime in the Big Ten for
total offense. After a few seasons playing in the NFL — he was part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1979 Super Bowl title team — he began his coaching career, eventually leading the Indianapolis Colts to a win in Super Bowl XLI. “I was excited about him, because he was a good option quarterback,” Switzer said of Dungy. “He might’ve been our quarterback here. He was really interested.” For more from Jason Kersey, visit http://blog.newsok.com/ou

Claimants: Penn St. slow on Sandusky settlements Nearly three months after Penn State said it wanted to settle “privately, expeditiously and fairly” with the boys Jerry Sandusky sexually abused, lawyers for the victims from his criminal case and other potential claimants say the school has not followed up with concrete action. The attorneys told The Associated Press in recent days that they had very limited contact with the university and, if that continues, more lawsuits may follow the four now under way.
RUTGERS HOLDS OFF SOUTH FLORIDA Jawan Jamison ran 151 yards and a touchdown and Kyle Federico kicked three field goals to help Rutgers begin Big East play with a 23-13 victory over South Florida on Thursday night. Gary Nova threw for 277 yards and one TD for the Scarlet Knights, who snapped a 13-13 tie on Federico’s 22-yard field goal with 2:48 remaining. Jamison sealed the outcome when he scored on a 41-yard run after USF (2-1, 0-1) turned the ball over on downs.

ORMAN — Can you imagine Tony Dungy as Oklahoma’s quarterback in the mid-1970s, running the wishbone offense? It could’ve happened, Barry Switzer said, had the NCAA not imposed scholarship restrictions in January 1973. Back before the rule changes, when Chuck Fairbanks was head coach and Switzer was still offensive coordinator, the Sooners had “eight or nine teams of depth” and “over 200 kids dressed out,” Switzer said. Back before the NCAA mandated a 30-scholarship limit, the Big Eight Conference allowed its schools 45 each year — and, if they weren’t all used, up to five scholarships could be banked for the next year, or five could be borrowed from

few years ago. “It got later in the day, I said, ‘I guess I’ll just go,’” Jo Lee said. She threw some clothes together to spend the night — the game wouldn’t end until around 1 a.m. — and headed out on her Southern Oklahoma adventure. Jo Lee arrived at the ranch about dusk, encountered a locked gate and reached for her cellphone to call her friend. Except the cellphone was back in Ardmore, left behind in haste. “OK, what do I do now?” she asked herself. The country road promised few passers-by. So Jo Lee did what any
self-respecting college football fan would do. She climbed out of her car, went to the ground and shimmied under the barb wire. “I didn’t think about going home,” Jo Lee said. “I didn’t even stay in my car very long.” When Jo Lee caught her OSU shirt on the fence, she backed up. Didn’t want to tear it. Then she wiggled again, got through the fence and marched up the road and over the hill to her friend’s house. “It was a tight squeeze for me,” she said. But “I get around pretty good to be 82.” Alas, the story does not
have a happy ending. The Cowboys played as bad as a team can possibly play and lost 59-38, showing little of the resiliency of a certain fan back in Love County. This sounds like a video for GameDay. Sounds like a commercial to show the passion for this sport. Sounds exactly right. The friends Jo Lee has told about her stunt “I don’t think were too surprised,” she said. “They know what a fan I am.” Berry Tramel: Berry can be reached at (405) 760-8080 or at btramel@opubco.com.

Arkansas coach John L. Smith says quarterback Tyler Wilson didn’t practice Thursday and his status remains uncertain for Saturday’s game with No. 1 Alabama. Wilson, who missed the second half of the Razorbacks’ loss to Louisiana-Monroe last week with a head injury, went through a light practice Wednesday, but Smith says the quarterback was “busy” doing some kind of “evaluating” during practice on Thursday.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Snyder nears 300th win BY RYAN ABER Staff Writer raber@opubco.com
Mike Snyder deflects much of the praise for approaching his impending milestone. “What the milestone is is this program and these kids have won that many games,” Snyder said. “It’s not necessarily me. I just benefitted from that. It’s very good and very flattering to be in this position.” Snyder enters Friday’s game at McLoud with a chance to join an exclusive group of coaches that have won 300 games at the high school level. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations record book, only two other coaches in state history have won 300 games. Joe Tunnel won 322 games at Rush Springs and Lindsay from 1959-1999. Bruce Hendrickson won 301 in stints at Commerce, Texhoma, Okeene, Seiling and Ringwood. Nationally, 107 coaches have won 300 games, according to the record book. Snyder could move up that list. The Chieftains are ranked No. 4 in Class 3A, and Snyder isn’t thinking of hanging it up anytime soon. “I don’t have any hobbies,” Snyder said. “I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I wasn’t coaching.” Last week, it looked like Snyder would have his first
chance at the mark, before lightning storms washed out the Chieftains’ game against Tecumseh after just 10 minutes. The teams waited out the storms for four hours before the game was finally called. Snyder hasn’t brought up the milestone to his team, but they know. “I don’t talk about it a whole lot, but there’s a lot of attention to it in town,” Snyder said. “They know it. It’ll just come when it comes.” He’s also received quite a few phone calls and visits from former players, with several showing up last week and more expected this week. Snyder took over as the head coach in Seminole in 1980 after several years as an assistant there. He’s considered leaving a few times but never pulled the trigger. “It’s entered my mind a couple times,” Snyder said. “Then I start looking around and thinking, ‘Gosh, I have it better than 99 percent of the people I know.’ Seminole hasn’t changed much. The kids are still the same. You can coach a kid as hard as you want in football. The kids understand that and the parents understand that. “I’ve had so many players and assistant coaches and I’m only on my fifth superintendent since I’ve been here. We’ve never not had great support from our administration.”

Injuries hound Rangers Adrian Beltre made his case to Texas manager Ron Washington and earned a start. Beltre was not in the original lineup Thursday night against Cleveland, a day after injuring his left shoulder. The All-Star third baseman talked to Washington and was later listed as the designated hitter. “He strong-armed me,” Washington joked. Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton was out of the lineup. The 2010 AL MVP left Wednesday night in the eighth inning and received an injection for his sore left knee. Washington doesn’t consider Hamilton’s injury serious, and he is expected to play Friday night against Seattle. Leonys Martin started in place of Hamilton, who came in leading the majors with 41 home runs and 121 RBIs. Beltre, who has hit 13 home runs in his last 20 games, hurt his shoulder diving for a ground ball at third base and left in the fifth inning. An MRI on Wednesday night revealed slight inflammation. “They assumed I wasn’t going to feel good based on what they saw last night,” Beltre said. “But today is a different day.” Texas catcher Mike Napoli worked out with the Rangers after catching nine innings in a rehab assignment for Double-A Frisco on Wednesday night. Napoli, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 11 with a left quadriceps strain, will be the designated hitter for Frisco on Friday and could be activated Saturday. “My timing is almost there,” Napoli said. “I felt good behind the plate.” In other injury news, Texas infielder Mike Olt is expected to miss 10-to-14 days because of plantar fasciitis on his right foot. The rookie had an MRI and visited a foot specialist Thursday. Rangers reliever Robbie Ross will throw in the bullpen on Friday. The left-hander has been on the disabled list since Aug. 30 with a strained left forearm. Rangers pitcher Roy Oswalt experienced discomfort while throwing for the first time since his last start was cut short because of a strained forearm. Oswalt made his first start since Aug. 23 on Sunday, and the right-hander left after two innings because of flexor soreness near his elbow. Texas said Thursday that the three-time All-Star will be evaluated in the next couple of days.
JETER BACK IN LINEUP Derek Jeter was back in the New York Yankees’ lineup after pulling up lame a day earlier. Jeter hit leadoff as the designated hitter on Thursday night against the Boston Red Sox. In the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 5-4 win on Wednesday night, he limped on his left leg after lunging for first base on a double-play groundout. Also, left-hander Andy Pettitte will return on Tuesday to start against the Toronto Blue Jays, manager Joe Girardi said. Pettitte (3-3) has been out since June 27, when his left ankle was broken by a liner off the bat of Cleveland’s Casey Kotchman.
OWNER: RED SOX AREN’T FOR SALE Boston Red Sox owner John Henry strongly denied a Fox Business report that he and the ownership group have been quietly shopping the team to potential buyers. Responding shortly after the report became public, Henry told The Boston Globe, “A sale of any kind is so far from our thinking it hasn’t even come up apart from technical planning issues involving death or disability. This report is completely without foundation.” FROM WIRE REPORTS

City every three weeks for treatment at OU Medical Center. The trips allow them to see Mike’s daughter, Blythe, play softball for Carl Albert or his son, Cline, play football for the middle school. One of the first things Mike Corley did after the diagnosis was to walk to Carl Albert head coach Gary Rose’s house. Rose lives near the Corleys and hired him nine years ago from Duncan. “We sat out on the patio and cried together,” Rose said. “When you hear the ‘C’ word, you immediately think you might die from this. We talked about that, our faith and his mother.” Rose knew what cancer could do. His mother died from breast cancer when Rose was in his early 20s, five years after she’d been diagnosed. Radiation and chemotherapy treatments zapped Corley of energy. He stayed home this summer while the Titans went through their weightlifting program. Every day during those lifts and when practices began, Corley was remembered, though. The players had wristbands made up with “Coach Corley” on one side and “Isaiah 41:10” on the other. Corley opened his Bible shortly after the diagnosis and landed on the verse. It’s become a near-daily prayer for the Titans. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am you God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” The chemotherapy made him nauseous. The radiation first irritated his throat, then forced him to eat through a feeding tube and eventually made even breathing a chore. He lost 35 pounds through the process. “I probably could’ve stood to lose about 20,” Corley said. “I’m back to my high school wrestling weight.” Since treatment ended in early August, Corley has
felt progressively better. For the last two weeks, he’s been eating through his mouth. Food is regaining its taste. “We had incredible support from everybody,” Teah said. “The quarterback club, the administration and coaches there at Carl Albert, his work, my work. We always had a meal it seemed like. “The bad part of it is Mike couldn’t enjoy all the food we had. We froze some of it so Mike would get to taste it when he was able to again.” Mike made it up to Carl Albert when he was physically able. He started coming to meet with coaches, and then went out for the defensive portion of practice. He’s coached the first two games from the press box. This week, he’s returned for half-days at school. Corley arrives in the morning and returns home for rest before football practice. Next week, he hopes to return to work full time. Corley wants to coach from the field in the Titans’ district opener against Deer Creek. Next Thursday, he returns to the doctor to determine the next course of action, likely surgery to remove what remains of the lump. Corley said the mass was the size of a “Titleist golf ball” when treatment started. It has been reduced to the size of a dime. “They feel pretty confident about it,” Corley said of his doctors. “We’re praying (the remaining mass) is not cancerous, but if it is, we’ll just keep attacking it.” A part of that talk with Rose immediately after the diagnosis centered on the example Corley had a chance to set for his players. “That’s what football teaches you, to get through adversity,” Corley said. “Coach Rose said: ‘You’re going to get an opportunity to prove that you can do what you’ve been coaching them to do. You’re going to have adversity and you’re going to have to get through it.’”

WESTMOORE 29, NORMAN NORTH 16
West, Westmoore stop Norman North BY JACOB UNRUH Staff Writer junruh@opubco.com
MOORE — Westmoore quarterback Jhames West admits he doesn’t praise his wide receivers near enough. Thursday night, though, he was certainly delivering praise about them. West had every reason to as he connected for three touchdown passes and also ran for one to lift Westmoore past No. 8 Norman North 29-16 at rainy Moore Stadium to complete Class 6A nondistrict play. “After this game, they will get a lot more respect from me,” West said. “I trust them, I really do, and

I’m glad they came through.” West, a junior, threw for 205 yards, but more importantly guided his team during a strong second half following a scornful
speech from coach Billy Langford at halftime. The Jaguars (2-1) didn’t open the game strong and fell behind 9-0. At halftime, down 9-7, Langford delivered his message. And on the second possession in the third quarter, the offense responded. West delivered a pump fake and found receiver Lexus Lee streaking down the sideline wide open for a 64-yard, go-ahead strike. After the two-point conversion pass to Austin Dodd, Westmoore never looked back. “I’m going to start lighting them up before we come out,” Langford said. “They responded. They’ve got a lot of character, they’re pretty tough kids and they’re competitive.”
FIVE-MINUTE GUIDE TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL MOST INTRIGUING MATCHUP
6A NO. 2 BROKEN ARROW (1-1) AT NO. 1 TULSA UNION (1-1) I Why bother: It’s the rematch of last season’s Class 6A title game, when Broken Arrow came within a play or two of breaking the long hold that Union and Jenks have had on the championship. Both teams figure to be even better this year, though tough nondistrict schedules have left both with a loss to out-ofstate competition last week. I The pick: Tulsa Union 28, Broken Arrow 24 Broken Arrow will once again be without dynamic junior Devon Thomas, who has offers from Oklahoma and Oklahoma State among others. Cameron Wrenn gives the Tigers a more-than-solid option at running back, and quarterback Coleman Key is among the candidates for top player in the state for the 2014 class.
OTHER TOP ATTRACTIONS
6A NO. 7 EDMOND NORTH (2-0) AT NO. 4 EDMOND SANTA FE (2-0) I Plot: It’s Edlam, so it’d be big regardless of the stakes. But this one figures to be as big of a game as this series has seen. Last year,
the teams entered their district matchup with one loss each. This time, they’re undefeated as the game moves back to an early season matchup. I Starring: Edmond Santa Fe has become known for its offense, scoring 92 points in the first two games against Midwest City and Yukon. The Wolves are led on that side by junior quarterback Justice Hansen, who has around 500 yards passing so far, and receiver Trevin Smith, who is above 200 yards receiving with two scores. Edmond North is known for its defense, which has allowed just seven points through two games. I The pick: Edmond Santa Fe 28, Edmond North 14. The Wolves enter this game a bit more tested, and this is where it pays off. Edmond Santa Fe wins the rivalry game for the second consecutive season, after Edmond North won two straight in 2008-09.
3A NO. 1 KINGFISHER (2-0) AT 2A NO. 4 HENNESSEY (1-1) I Plot: This might’ve been the top game of the week outside of Union-Broken Arrow had Hennessey not lost last week to now-Class 3A Jones, 35-0. But it’s still plenty worthy of being one of the top games around. Kingfisher has been absolutely dominant to this point, outscoring Guymon and Chandler by a com-

held the Timberwolves to just 226, of which 215 came through the air. And after last week’s stunning loss to Southmoore in double overtime, the Jaguars wanted to make a statement. And much like the one Langford delivered, it was
received loud and clear. “Our guys played really well,” Langford said. “We turned them into a passing team. “It kind of rights the ship for us and gets that confidence back to us because we beat a good football team.”

bined 101-0. I Starring: Landon Nault has been a force so far for Kingfisher, rushing for 254 yards and two touchdowns — plus a punt return for a score — in the win over Guymon and running for a score and catching a touchdown pass last week. Hennessey’s Levi Hill has been a big part of the team’s backto-back titles as running back and is once again a leader there. I The pick: Kingfisher 34, Hennessey 14. The Yellow Jackets handed Hennessey one of its two losses last season, the week after Hennessey also lost to Jones. This one again figures to be entertaining, but again, it’s the Class 3A team coming out on top.

After the Westmoore defense forced Norman North (2-1) to turn the ball over on downs, West orchestrated a nine-play drive that resulted in his 1yard TD run early in the fourth. Norman North quarterback Peyton Gavras immediately responded with a 55-yard TD pass. But the next possession, West found Lee in traffic for a 23-yard, gameclinching TD pass. Lee finished with 157 yards receiving on four catches. “It’s just a normal thing to do this in practice now,” Lee said. “To put it out there where everybody can see it, I think we did well.” While the Jaguars’ offense piled up more than 400 yards, their defense

EDMOND — Deer Creek’s debut in the Edlam rivalry was a smashing success. Playing a high school football game against one of the big three in Edmond for the first time, the Antlers thrashed Edmond Memorial 45-14 Thursday night at Wantland Stadium. Deer Creek’s Alec James, who scored touchdowns on both offense and defense, said it felt good for the Class 5A Antlers (3-0) to beat a Class 6A team, something they’ve rarely done. Deer Creek, ranked fourth in 5A, turned four Bulldog turnovers (two fumbles and two interceptions) into 24 points. Antlers quarterback Joel Blumenthal tossed five touchdown passes, completing 15 of 21 passes for 248 yards. Blumenthal also rushed for 90 yards on 18 carries. He would have had more

than 100 yards on the ground but was credited with minus-17 yards on his last two carries because of quarterback sacks. Edmond Memorial coach Justin Merideth said Blumenthal’s performance was the difference in the game. “He was awesome tonight,” Merideth said. “He did a great job, especially early in the game when we had some momentum and were making some plays. He would bust a long one on a scramble or he would scramble around and make a big play (passing). I thought he was unbelieva-
ble tonight. I thought he was a big, big reason they were able to beat us.” Blumenthal’s five touchdown passes were to five different receivers. “That is the depth in our receiving corps,” Deer Creek coach Grant Gower said. Throwing touchdown passes to five different guys is the result of the system, Blumenthal said. “We run the spread and try to get everybody the ball,” he said. “Today, everybody made the plays.” Warren Wand finished the game with 207 yards rushing on 21 carries, but 170 came in the first half.

Like most people, Vince Gill recalls good days and strange days when he looks back on his high school years. Given his superstar success as a singer/songwriter/ musician, it isn’t surprising that some of his vivid memories of Northwest Classen High School center on the auditorium, including the first time he played that stage around the start of his freshman year. “There was a local rock band called Mother’s Ghost ... They were going to play ‘Mr. Bojangles’ ’cause ‘Mr. Bojangles’ was popular. And they found me, I think through my sister; my big sister told them I played the banjo. They needed a banjo on it, so that’s the first time I ever played in that auditorium is playing the banjo with Mother’s Ghost on ‘Mr. Bojangles.’ So maybe that’ll be my closer,” Gill said with a chuckle during a recent phone interview from his home in Nashville, Tenn.

Phone sex comedy ‘For a Good Time’ offers only small talk From left, Ari Graynor, Justin Long and Lauren Miller star in “For A Good Time, Call.” PROVIDED PHOTO
Even when it is enthusiastically diving into hilarious filth, director Jamie Travis’ femalerelationship comedy “For a Good Time, Call ...” feels like its nastiness is grafted on, that underneath all of its outer trappings of post-“Bridesmaids” brazenness, this could be a “Felicity” episode. Well, only if Felicity were running a phone-sex line. During college, Lauren (co-screenwriter Lauren Miller) was a demure earth child whose run-in with campus wild child Katie (Ari Graynor, “Celeste and Jesse Forever”) is forever burned on her brain. A decade later, Lauren experiences a terrible breakup with slick and bland Charlie (James Wolk) and needs an apartment — fast. Thanks to longtime buddy Jesse (Justin Long), she finds out about a posh Gramercy Park brownstone, which is great, except it comes with the roommate of Lauren’s nightmares. Katie is loud in most
At its heart, this is a comedy about how female friendships are made and maintained. Fall down the icky rabbit hole of more modern hookups, and the comedy would lose the charming innocence that thrives under the veneer of in-your-face sex talk.
ways, but in her moonlighting job as a phonesex operator, she is loud and paid for the privilege. Lauren’s attempts to secure a job at a publishing house run by blase editor Rachel (played in a cameo performance by Nia Vardalos) prove unsuccessful, and soon Lauren is lured into the business of making pleasurable sounds for fun and profit. The idea of a phonesex comedy feels like a mid-1990s concept, slightly quaint in view of the bold and nasty outer frontiers of streaming video, Chatroulette and everything else that can
give its cyber-users unwanted viruses. But this antiquated setup fits “For a Good Time, Call ...,” because at its heart, this is a comedy about how female friendships are made and maintained. Fall down the icky rabbit hole of more modern hookups, and the comedy would lose the charming innocence that thrives under the veneer of inyour-face sex talk. Most of the laughs come from the cameos, including Miller’s significant other, Seth Rogen, as a preoccupied airline pilot. As for the rest, “For a Good Time, Call ...”
bides its time with offthe-rack jokes about Lauren hiding her new career from her parents (Mimi Rogers and Don McManus) and dithering over whether to forge onward with a publishing job or continue to talk dirty to men (and women). One memorable minor character, baby-voiced operator Krissy (Sugar Lyn Beard), gets an awkward exit when Miller and script collaborator Katie Ann Naylon stretch the jokes about her high-pitched lasciviousness to the straining point. “For a Good Time, Call ...” has no great ambitions and runs on the chemistry between the comparatively modest Miller and the ultra-brassy Graynor. And like its subject matter, this comedy finishes quickly, with few surprises and a predictable ending. It is a comedy with an easy allure but not enough substance to warrant a deeper relationship. — George Lang

Gere gives billion-dollar performance in ‘Arbitrage’ After a few years languishing in direct-to-video projects, Richard Gere comes roaring back with one of his finest performances in director Nicholas Jarecki’s feature debut, “Arbitrage.” Gere brings surety and a sleazy undercurrent to his superb turn as Robert Miller, a billionaire hedge fund manager whose hubris in both his business and personal lives comes back to bite him. In a profession filled with sharks, Robert is a great white. Having built his fund into a powerhouse family business and installed his daughter Brooke (Brit Marling) as his chief financial officer, Robert is now 60 and looking to cash in his chips. Robert plans to sell the fund to James Mayfield, a buyer who appears to be stalling the deal. Played convincingly by Vanity Fair editor
Graydon Carter, Mayfield sends lackeys to scheduled meetings with Robert and requests independent audits of the fund. He has reason to sit on the fence: Robert padded out the fund’s value with an under-the-table loan, and when the benefactor unexpectedly pulls his funding, Robert cooks the books without Brooke’s knowledge. His cavalier attitude extends to his personal life, as well. His wife, Ellen (Susan Sarandon), looks the other way while Robert sneaks out to see art dealer Julie Cote (former Victoria’s Secret model Laetitia Casta). Then, a fateful assignation with Julie threatens to unravel Robert’s carefully constructed web of lies, and as a police detective (Tim Roth) begins to look closely at who Robert Miller really is, several
people in the billionaire’s circle of trust could fall. Jarecki, who also wrote the script, is previously known for “The Outsider,” a documentary on renegade director James Toback, and the screenplay for the disjointed and utterly laughable Bret Easton Ellis adaptation, “The Informers.” But with “Arbitrage,” Jarecki takes a huge creative leap, building tension and rising stakes as the notes for Robert’s life of lies come due. He has created a complex lead character, an amoral backstabber who, for all his malfeasance, can still gain the viewers’ partial, guarded sympathy, no matter how much they might resist. When given the chance, Gere can go all the way playing dark characters with complex interiors, and this is his best such

performance since 2006’s “The Hoax.” He is in about 95 percent of the scenes, and he convinces at every turn. “Arbitrage” is a zeitgeist movie populated with the kind of people whose power grabs imperiled the world’s financial markets four years ago. It would be easy to just make Miller a broadly drawn villain, but Jarecki and Gere make this scoundrel utterly human, and “Arbitrage” is so much more effective as a result. — George Lang
Gill: Grand opening is set Sunday FROM PAGE 1D
recreation of the popular mid-1960s San Francisco rock band The Mojo Men, and Bill Maxwell, who has produced eight Grammy-winning records and played drums with the likes of Ray Charles, Quincy Jones and Anita Baker. The Northwest Classen auditorium was originally built in 1954 when the school opened, but it has been transformed into an intimate performance hall. Sunday’s concert will fund an endowment and additional amenities through the Friends of Northwest Classen Foundation. “The first time I played in the auditorium there was kind of a big deal for me, so I’m excited to see the kids that are gonna go to school there have the opportunity to have a great place to share music and do things that are associated with the arts,” Gill said.
Extensive renovation Like Gill, Cliff Hudson has many fond memories of Northwest Classen, where he and his wife, Leslie, graduated in 1973. “I performed there in the school choir as a freshman. I performed onstage in a talent show as a sophomore, did some assemblies and skits onstage as a junior, performed onstage in a senior assembly as a senior. Walked across the stage at commencement exercises. ... My wife was in modern dance, she danced on
that stage,” said Hudson, who is chairman and chief executive officer of Sonic Corp. The extensive renovation of the 1,413-seat auditorium into a performance hall capable of hosting national concerts, Broadway-style productions and local performances was funded in part by the MAPS for Kids initiative. The Hudsons donated $500,000 for additional upgrades, including the installation of state-of-the-art sound technology. “I think it’s going to create a more professional setting for the students to utilize, and then when we have road shows or entertainment or musicians come through that need a hall that size ... it’s going to be a great resource. It’ll be fun to see it utilized,” said Hudson, who was a member of the Project KIDS committee that helped launch MAPS for Kids. Northwest Classen Principal Brad Herzer said the students were in awe when they saw the renovated hall during assemblies at the start of the school year. “It’s going to be a great thing for the school and for the community. We have a great fine arts program here, and we’re looking forward to being able to use the facility,” Herzer said. “It’s just a beautiful facility that will allow us to expand our fine arts program. We’re looking to add possibly a classical guitar program here.” Also, he said the hall will provide additional revenue for the school through the Friends of Northwest Classen. The foundation will be able
to book shows in the hall and then use the proceeds to fund grants for the school. “Northwest Classen has a really rich tradition — we were one of the flagship schools in Oklahoma City — and there’s been a lot of alumni that have graduated here that have gone on and done great things, like Vince Gill. But we need to continue to support that, and this auditorium will help us to do that.”
Giving back Playing Sunday’s show will be particularly meaningful for Gill since he performed at a similar benefit in 2008 for the auditorium at his old grade school, Cleveland Elementary. “Now I’m just waiting for when they redo Taft Stadium. I’ll have to come in there and play there. That’ll be pretty sweet, the trifecta,” Gill said, referring to his old middle school. “It’s the most important thing in life is to give back, I think. That’s how I’ve tried to live. And it’s great to see what people do.” Plus, Gill can laugh now when he recalls one of his strangest high school memories, which also happened in the auditorium. “One of the vice principals falsely accused me of smoking dope in that auditorium,” he said, laughing. “He pulled me aside and said, ‘Vince Gill, I know you’re smoking dope in my school, I’m gonna catch you, and I’m gonna bust you out of this school.’ I didn’t smoke dope. I never have. ... Wrongly accused. I survived.”

that it’s getting warmer, but at least we’re happy that we were wise enough to go ahead and stay with a September date,” she said. “That’s what the art of make-believe does: You can always ... find a solution so there will be a happy ending,” she added with a laugh. The Fairy Ball takes place outdoors on the “Fairy Green” at Dewey and NW 28, just west of Paseo Grill. Attendees are invited, but not required, to dress as fairies, elves, blossoms or other whimsical creatures or to don festive attire. The festivities begin with Flower Magic, in which youngsters use palm fronds to create fairy wings and real flowers to craft crowns or other embellishments to their costumes. The shift closer to the autumnal equinox allows the Fairy Ball to celebrate the changing of the seasons: Along with daises, ferns and baby’s breath, Keller said children will get to adorn themselves with fall leaves. “The artists want to motivate the children to make the choices and get their fingers working ... with the flowers because that is empowering to the children. The children love it; just the opportunity to work with real flowers alone is unique,” she said. “If you watch the children, that’s where the stories begin to unfold. What’s happening inside
of them and how they’re responding to the music and the costumes is the story. It’s a subtle evening. We haven’t had to do much to entertain.” At 7:30 p.m., StarDanceSwan dancers will give a semi-improvised performance that will open the gates to the dance space and beckon attendees to do their own carefree dancing until 8:30 p.m. A mainstay of the event, Oklahoma City composer/multi-instrumentalist Steve McLinn again will bring his singular brand of “electrical acoustical fusion music” to the ball. “I think it hearkens to joy and innocence. Almost everybody I know in our culture has been brought up on fairy tales and loving the art of make-believe, and it’s the opportunity to create a space where make-believe can happen, where children can innocently play and generate their sense of wonder and hope,” Keller said. The ball has earned a devoted following, said Jennifer Barron, executive director of the Paseo Arts Association. It annually draws about 500 participants to the Paseo Arts District. “It’s all about creativity. There’s visual artists, there’s dance artists, theater artists that all come together to make this event happen,” she said. “You’ve got this kind of multidisciplinary art experience, and it’s completely free for the kids.”
The event fosters creative play and differs from make-and-take art activities children may experience at other events, Barron said. “They’re making fairy wings and they’re making something to go on their costumes, but other than that, it’s not like an art opportunity that’s led. It doesn’t have to look a certain way,” she said. “They’re just out there having fun with art of all kinds.” Keller said she hopes the
event will inspire parents to make time for more pretend play, especially incorporating art and dance, into their families’ busy schedules. “From my own (childhood) experience, I loved to be outside and I loved to be in places where the light was gorgeous and I could practice my makebelieve,” she said. “I feel that there is an art to make-believe, and if parents can rediscover this art, then their children will benefit.”

‘Nemo’ splashes onto the big screen in 3-D It’s the details that stand out whenever a classic film is converted to 3-D. With “Finding Nemo,” the shimmering sea surface, scratches on the lens of a diver’s goggles, and smudge marks Nemo the clown fish makes when he mashes his face up against the glass wall of the aquarium that imprisons him all pop off the screen in the 3-D reissue of Pixar’s undisputed masterpiece. The fish seem to float in between the surface of the screen and the deep blue underwater backgrounds of the South Pacific, an effect even more pronounced in 3-D. And “Finding Nemo” is a great movie, one of the best animations for children ever made. A timid and overprotective single-dad clown fish (voice of Albert Brooks) overprotects his mildly disabled (shrunken fin) only son (voiced by Alexander Gould) to the point where Nemo foolishly rebels and is promptly snatched and tossed into the tank at an Australian dentist’s office. Dad flees the comfort of his reefside sea anemone home, and with the help of an absent-minded blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), sets out to find his son. And the kid, with the help of a tank full of mentors (Willem Dafoe, Brad Garrett, Allison Janney, Austin Pendleton), plots his escape to get back to dad. It’s a grand quest filled with funny, broadly drawn but wise characters — sea

So don’t think of “Nemo” as just another 3-D conversion. Think of this rerelease as an encore, a handy touchstone for you and your kids. “Finding Nemo” was and remains the gold standard against which all other modern animated films are measured, a classic from the day it premiered. “Nemo” is preceded by the new Pixar “Toy Story” short “Partysaurus Rex,” a hilarious dinosaur-outof-water ‘toon about the mild-mannered T-Rex toy (voiced by the ever-meek Mr. Wallace Shawn) who breaks out of his rut when he is picked to join the bath toys for a wild night of suds and excess. — Roger Moore, MCT Information Services

‘Titanic’ co-producer recalls making of film PHOTO PROVIDED
Six Market Blvd.
Six Market Blvd. brings surprises to sophomore album Ten tracks into their sophomore album, Texas country band Six Market Blvd. sneaks in a saxophone solo. While he enjoys surprising listeners, lead singer/ songwriter Clayton Landua said he and his bandmates didn’t jazz up the wrenching piano ballad “In the Name of Us” with that sax just for shock value. “We just thought that was gonna be best for that song,” he said in a recent phone interview. “We definitely don’t really have a genre. ... We’re just writing music and playing it. We’re not purposefully writing songs to fit anywhere. You know, whatever comes out, that’s what happens. We play it and perform and just let that be and just hope that people accept us. And that’s what, so far, has been working out.” When the Stephenville, Texas-based quartet plays Saturday night at the Wormy Dog Saloon, concertgoers can expect a musical mix of rock ’n’ roll, soul and blues, plus the three-part harmonies that have become a signature of their eclectic sound. Landua (lead vocals, harmony and rhythm guitar), Josh Serrato (lead rhythm guitar, 12-string guitar, harmony, piano and organ), Ben Hussey (lead vocals, harmony, electric bass and stand-up bass) and Dallas Neal (drums and percussion) met at Stephenville’s Tarleton State University and formed their band in 2008. “We wanted to jam out, we wanted to play music, we were just going to go to parties and have fun ... and then we realized sometime down the line we could do three-part harmonies and then it just kind of made its own track,” Landua said. “It blew our minds. We were like ‘whoa.’ ... On the first album, we released the single ‘Silence in Me,’ and that like has become a huge thing everywhere we play.” With “Shake It Down,” this year’s follow-up to their 2010 debut “Running on Seven,” the band constantly shakes up expectations, from the country romp “Santa Fe Train” that turns positively Beatlesque by the time it pulls into the station to the lovely waltz “The Painter” with its mesmerizing accordion. Their current single “Say It” opens the album with a gritty bluesrock groove, while “White Goose” floats in heartache on an island breeze. The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac emerge as clear influences on songs like “Medina,” “Stand” and “14 Miles from Home,” which have a 1970s cool California vibe and showcase the captivating way Landua, Hussey and Serrato can blend their voices. “We always are kind of in tune to the Eagles just because they had great harmonies and they’re just great musicians and stuff like that. But during the entire time we were recording that album when we were traveling somewhere or driving somewhere ... we were all kind of listening to ‘Rumours’

by Fleetwood Mac, the whole album,” Landua said, adding that there was no real reason for their sudden collective obsession with the classic record. “It was just the influence that hit us at that point and time. We were like, ‘Man, why do we love this album so much right now?’ It’s just something that just kind of fell into play ... at that time.” When “Shake It Down” was released in May, their sophomore effort bowed on the Billboard country albums chart at No. 42, on the trade publication’s Heatseekers list at No. 22 and on the Heatseekers Regional-South Central chart at No. 1. The album also hit No. 5 on the iTunes country rankings and No. 3 on the Lonestar Music Chart. “(We) just couldn’t believe it. People had been waiting on our album — we didn’t know how many people — but it was enough to put it up there in those rankings. And it wasn’t like it lasted a week like it does for these bignamers, you know, but we were up there,” Landua said. The band was even ranked higher on the iTunes chart than Texas country legend Willie Nelson “for like five minutes.” “Just the fact that it happened ... was like ‘Man, if that’s not a sign that we’re doing something here, then I don’t know what else is,’” Landua said. More signs that Six Market Blvd. is on the rise: The band played in April at Larry Joe Taylor’s Texas Music Festival in their home base of Stephenville and recently received an invitation to play at next year’s MusicFest in Steamboat, Colo. “When we realized we wanted to just go ahead and do this, our two top goals was to play at the main stage at the Larry Joe Taylor Festival and play at Steamboat Springs, Colorado. And we’re accomplishing these goals,” he said. “So now it’s time to make some more and hit the road harder.”
Jon Landau still gets excited when he talks about “Titanic,” 15 years after the romantic blockbuster’s maiden voyage across cinema screens. “In a day and age when people think, ‘Oh, it’s about big explosions and technology,’ and Gene all these Triplett etriplett@ things, opubco.com movies are (still) about ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR drama, movies are about characters, and I think that’s what ‘Titanic’ and the rerelease and this Blu-ray release will illustrate,” the producer said in a recent phone interview from Los Angeles. Landau was talking about the debut this week of writer-directorproducer James Cameron’s $2 billion box office phenomenon on 2-D and 3-D Blu-ray sets. Landau partnered with Cameron in the production of 1997’s “Titanic,” as well as the eerie sci-fi drama “Solaris” (2002) and the otherworldly fantasy “Avatar,” which smashed box office records in 2009. “It’s never been available,” Landau said. “Going back to our initial release of home entertainment, it was on VHS. That’s what most people own today of ‘Titanic.’ Now with the Blu-ray, they get an HD quality presentation in their home that Jim Cameron has personally supervised. They get hours of supplementary material to explore deeper into the making of the film, the behind-thescenes.” The film made global stars out of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as two star-crossed lovers who happen to meet on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the “ship of dreams.” Landau still has vivid memories of the daunting obstacles the production company faced in recreating the 1912 seagoing disaster that left the British luxury liner at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. “Well, the first thing that was the most difficult was trying to figure out where to make the film,” he said. “Because no facility in the world existed where we could build an 800foot-long set — and sink it. So we literally scoured the globe, looking everywhere from the tanks in Malta (the famous water tanks at the Mediterranean Film Studios), to the shipyards in Gdansk, Poland, to Moffett Field up in northern California where there’s a blimp hangar, trying to figure out where we could possibly make this movie, before settling on really building a studio in Rosarita, Mexico. “And when I say building a studio, to put it into context, it was about 40 acres of land. We had several thousand people working on just the construction. We had to bring in telephone lines from seven miles away. Those are not normal things that you face as challenges on productions.”
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DoCaprio appear in a scene from “Titanic.” PARAMOUNT PICTURES PHOTO
And then there was the matter of building a set with which the filmmakers could realistically simulate the sinking of that gigantic ship. “The movie is really a testament to all the people who figured out how to do it,” Landau said. “Someone like Tommy Fisher, who was our special effects coordinator, he built a hydraulic system that could raise and lower a 2 million-pound set. And this hydraulic system held the set up above water, and when it was controlled ... it was able to be lowered into the water at an angle, creating the illusion that the ship was sinking. “And our set was in fact being dropped into (water) — but we then had to raise it out, and we had to do it all over again. We had to redress it and make it look pristine because on film nothing is ever ‘Take One.’ ” Bringing in enough water was never a problem, since the studio was right on the Pacific Ocean. But the temperature of the water was another matter. “It was 60 degrees at most,” Landau said. “To have people working in those conditions ... We couldn’t have Kate and Leo and the rest of our cast or crew work in water at that temperature for a 12-hour day. “So we had to find some ways to heat the water, to bring it up to a level without it steaming in a cold environment because it’s gotta feel like cold water. And so that was the challenge of water. Making it workable for long periods of time.” And then there was the water safety concern. “When you say ‘in danger of drowning,’ anytime you’re doing stunts in the water there is an element of danger,” Landau said. “But we took incredible precautionary
steps to ensure that nobody would get hurt. At the end of the day, nobody did get hurt. “For example, when we were doing the sinking at the end, with hundreds of people on the ship, we brought in San Diego County lifeguards and we dressed them in period wardrobe and we assigned one lifeguard to every five other people.” Landau admits that making a film like “Titanic” today could be much easier — and perhaps much cheaper — with state-of-art digital effects. But it just wouldn’t be the same movie. “People might want to do it differently but I don’t know that that would service the movie,” Landau said. “People might say use more visual effects, digital effects, you don’t have to build as much of the set, but I will tell that from the cast and Jim Cameron, and their ability to walk onto that set everyday and have a tactile, hands-on feeling of actually being on the ship, I think that added to what they were able to bring on the screen.” What Cameron and Landau are bringing to the screen next are two “Avatar” sequels, now in preproduction. “Working with Jim is great,” Landau said. “Working with Jim is exciting because he pushes you to go beyond where you’ve been before — as he pushes himself. He asks you to think outside of the box. He never loses sight of what the purpose is. He knows that the answer is not technology in a story, it’s drama, and he never loses sight of that. “And by doing that, he teaches all of those around him to be better at their jobs when they leave working with Jim than before they came to work with him.”
Rose State to hold two-day writing course FROM STAFF REPORTS
Rose State College’s two-day writing short course, “The Writer in 2012: Navigating the Brave New World,” will be Saturday and Sunday in the school’s Professional Training Center. Cost of the short course is $99. New York Times bestselling author William Bernhardt, organizer, said the conference will bring some of the nation’s most successful writers and literary agents to Oklahoma to share their knowledge and expertise with attendees. Authors will share their secrets and techniques on the art and craft
of writing, while the editors and agents address the business side of writing. “That’s why I gave the program this title — Navigating the Brave New World,” Bernhardt said. “There are two tracks to the thing. One is a track about the art and craft of writing, for people who are writing but not sure where to go or how to start, and another is a track about the business of writing, for those who wonder if they need an agent, or need a publisher, or want to know if they can just upload their book and sell it online.” A nationally best-selling author of 29 books, Bernhardt began hosting an annual writing workshop in
2005. His writing seminars have educated numerous authors now published by major publishing houses. In addition to Bernhardt, the conference faculty includes: New York Times best-selling author Phillip Margolin; New York City-based literary agents Melissa Flashman (Trident Media) and Chris Kepner (Victoria Sanders Agency); historian and voice actor (“Cars” and “Cars 2”) Michael Wallis; Random House editor David Pomerico; Professor Tim Tharp, author of “The Spectacular Now” and other young adult novels; fiction writer Rilla Askew; poet and performance artist Lauren Zuniga; author
and teacher J Madison Davis; adventure fiction author Mel Odom; fiction and nonfiction author John Wooley; humorist Barry Friedman; and author and editor Michael Mason. Students and faculty from educational institutions may attend the Rose State College short course at a discounted rate of $39, as part of Rose State’s community mission. Attendees may register by phone with a credit card by calling 733-7392, or in person at the Rose State College Community Learning Center, 6420 SE 15 Street, Midwest City.

David Mamet’s “November” is a wildly exaggerated satire of a fictional American president that seems bound to both offend and greatly amuse spectators of all political persuasions. All the action in Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre’s version of what took place in the Oval Office is convincingly re-created in the intimate confines of the City Space Theatre. First staged before the 2008 election, the script often seemed forced in its use of four-letter words and anti-politically correct humor — guaranteed to offend almost everyone — directed at stereotypical targets. But it was given a rousing and comically outrageous, if at times almost too broad and self-indulgent performance, by five City Rep cast members under the brisk, no-holds-barred direction of Donald Jordan. Marcellus Hankins got across President Charles Smith’s desperate and usually corrupt efforts to be re-elected, or at least get a Presidential Library, or, failing that, a big bribe, at the end of his first term. Drawing on a clown’s repertoire of plastic facial expressions and expressive body language, Hankins made you almost root for him, as one of the “likable rogues” director Jordan refers to in the program. Steve Emerson made a wonderful straight man in a suit, an attorney and top aide who carries out the president’s dubious orders forcefully and immediately, only objecting on practical, not moral grounds. Matthew Ellis comically expressed the flustered, frustrated attempts of the Turkey Guy to deal with the president’s blatant, escalating attempt to extort a giant payoff for pardoning not one, but two of the national birds. Things reached a comic crescendo when Ellis fell weeping on the Oval Office’s eagle seal on the floor, at his wits’ end,

when he thinks the turkeys he has brought to be pardoned have died due to bird flu. Jon Haque was also broadly appealing, if highly stereotyped, in a comic cameo appearance as Dwight Grackle, the Chief of the Micmac People. Armed with a pipe for poison darts, not peace, Haque’s over-thetop character not only threatens the president’s life, but wants him to give his tribe back half or more of Nantucket Island for a casino. Kris Schinske was delightful, understating rather than overstating her performance — a welcome relief — and winning the audience’s empathy, as the president’s long-suffering lesbian speech writer. Returning from China with an adopted daughter and a bad cold, Schinske’s character offers to write a speech that will save the president’s re-election, if he’ll only perform her gay marriage — on television. Vulgar and hard-totake, like “Saturday Night Live” on steroids, the play may make some people want to vote, and others want to wake up after the election and all the negative campaign ads. Recommended, at least for those with a strong stomach for R-rated language and extreme political cynicism, it is well worth attending during the rest of its run. — John Brandenburg
‘God of Carnage’ offers disturbing commentary on human nature A boy hitting another with a stick becomes the pretext for a wide-ranging discussion of human nature, civilization and the lack thereof in “God of Carnage,” Carpenter Square Theatre’s 2012-13 season opener. Yasmina Reza’s play is billed as a comedy, but it comes across more as a disturbing commentary on the tendency of communications to deteriorate, as its title might suggest. Translated by Christopher Hampton, the French author’s script, also described as a “comedy of manners without good manners,” received a rousing performance. Action takes place in the Brooklyn, N.Y., home of Veronica and Michael Novak, whose 11-year-old son, Henry, has had two teeth damaged in an attack by a boy his age in the park “armed with a stick.”
THEATER REVIEW ‘GOD OF CARNAGE’ I When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 29, a 2 p.m. matinee Sept. 23. I Where: Carpenter Square Theatre, 800 W Main. I Information: 232-6500 or www.carpenter square.com.
Lilli Bassett and Mike Waugh turned in nicely nuanced but emotionally escalating performances as this seemingly liberal couple, who have invited the parents of the other boy over to discuss the situation. In early going, Waugh succeeded in communicating the underlying frustrations and tensions of the apparently affable and mild-mannered husband, a seemingly perfect host, while it lasted. By the end of the evening, Waugh was convincingly
demented, rediscovering his youthful joy as a gang member and using fine rum to drown his guilt over what he did to his daughter’s pet hamster. But Bassett had some even better moments, both blackly humorous and dramatic, as Veronica, an author and expert on Africa, whose interest is made manifest in her home’s tasteful African art objects. Bassett conveyed Veronica’s many contradictions, whether she was coping with vomit on art books, bonding with the
mother of her son’s attacker, swigging booze from a bottle or standing up to male chauvinism. Offering an excellent contrast and counterpoint to Waugh and Bassett were Chad Alan Baker and Mona Campbell, who gave as good as they got as the visiting team, Alan and Annette Raleigh. Baker played a surprisingly sympathetic as well as unsympathetic character as a lawyer defending a pharmaceuticals company, wedded to his cell phone, constantly taking loud, disruptive calls on the case. Pacing himself well, Baker gave a buttondown, controlled, forceful performance, which often made his character’s boorish behavior seem reasonable relative to the others. Campbell was an extra humorous loose cannon, causing comic chaos when she dumped Vernoica’s precious tulips
out of their vases, and doused her husband’s cell phone, temporarily disabling it. Helping keep the play from becoming overwhelmingly bleak was a touching late scene in which Bassett interrupts the onstage mayhem to tell her daughter on the phone, against logic, that
her hamster is OK. Directed by Rhonda Clark, the play, which won Tony and Olivier awards on Broadway and in London, respectively, is gritty, unsettling and contains quite a bit of R-rated language, but is well worth attending. — John Brandenburg

Winston Churchill said, “This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” This column, by its very shortness, increases its chance of being read. But “read” also applies to the card played by East at the second trick and West’s ability to interpret it correctly. The auction proceeded along natural lines. Note that, because South denied four hearts when he rebid two spades, North might have rebid three hearts with a strong three-card suit, especially if he was hoping to get into three no-trump when South had a club stopper. Three no-trump is the best game. Four spades, with three top losers in hearts and clubs, requires spades to break 3-3. West leads the club two, showing exactly a four-card suit. After East wins with his ace, what does he do next? It is clearly correct to return a club, and he leads the eight, the higher of a remaining doubleton. (If he had returned the three, he would have been showing that he started with two or four clubs.) West takes South’s 10 with his jack, but what does he do now? West must realize that South still has two clubs left, the queen and one other. To get two more club tricks, West must put East on lead for another club play through South. This means that West should shift to a heart. (If East’s entry is the diamond king, he will get in early enough.) Then, East takes the trick with his ace and leads his last club, giving the defenders the first five tricks.

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

“Guys with Kids,” NBC’s new sitcom set in a mythical version of New York where no one locks apartment doors and people are fine with babies in bars, debuted Wednesday. The half-hour sitcom will settle into its regular 7:30 p.m. Wednesday time slot Sept. 26. It isn’t fantastical the way “Grimm” is but rather conveniently mythical the way Hollywood likes life, with incredibly nasty ex-wives walking all over spineless men and kids running roughshod over befuddled parents. Though a knee-jerk reaction would be that this is inherently sexist — why should it be funny just because males are minding the children? — the show is neither incredibly funny nor offensively sexist, and it has promise based on one of the couples. The strongest is Tempestt Bledsoe (“The Cosby Show”) and Anthony Anderson (“Law & Order”) as Marny and Gary. She has a corporate job while he minds their four sons. “I think Marny is very much in love with her husband, her children,” Bledsoe says. “She is very passionate about wanting to have a happy home. Gary is staying home with the children. Who is best equipped to do this when you have four kids? She wants her kids fed, bathed and in bed every night.” Jamie-Lynn Sigler (“The Sopranos”) plays Emily, a stay-at-home mom married to Nick (Zach Cregger, “Friends With Benefits”). He has a job outside the house but helps with their school-aged daughter and baby son. Nick’s college buddy is Chris (Jesse Bradford, “The West Wing”). He has a baby son and a control-freak exwife, Sheila (Erinn Hayes). The pilot begins with three guys watching a game in a bar, and when their team scores, they chest-bump. When they turn around, they all have babies strapped to their chests. It is cute, especially when they use the babies to high-five. “It’s not really about what a drag it is to have kids,” says co-creator and co-executive producer Jimmy Fallon. “It’s more like, ‘I’m bringing the kid to the baseball game, and I forgot diapers. How do I make a diaper out of a hot dog wrapper and a napkin?’ ”

It’s bad enough that he has federal agent Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon at his scowling, scary best) — a zealous protestant prone to brutal violence — dogging his trail, and hungry hoods like Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Al Capone waiting for Nucky’s position to weaken so they can muscle in.

May’s original cut remains, and so the truncated studio version is all that’s left. So, even though May’s longer vision for the Jack Ritchie short story “The Green Heart” seems lost forever, a new Blu-ray treatment of the surviving film at least provides a clean rendering of a work that critic Roger Ebert described as “hilarious, and cockeyed, and warm.” The story concerns grudgingly blossoming love between the sorely mismatched Henry Graham (a hangdog Walter Matthau), a snooty playboy aristocrat who has frittered away his massive wealth, and Henrietta Lowell (May, wide-eyed and bespectacled), a frumpy, socially clumsy botanist whose considerable family fortune attracts the gold-digging Henry’s eye. Having plowed his way through his trust fund with a profligate lifestyle, the newly penniless Henry bemoans his fate — “I’m poor!” — and deviously plots a way back into the upper reaches of high society.

rietta’s money and then cunningly knock her off. After the first two acts of haughty self-indulgence, the story goes a bit soft and gooey in its more conventional third act. That’s when Henry and Henrietta’s marriage proves a mismatch made in heaven. So the pampered playboy becomes protector of the innocent waif, and against his every selfish impulse discovers his better self. Indeed, he turns over a new leaf. The Blu-ray Disc in widescreen format shows some signs of wear and tear, but it should be enough that May’s peculiar little movie is ready to bloom once again for a new generation of movie lovers. — Dennis King
‘Suburgatory: The Complete First Season’ Constantly clever and filled with biting observations on life in suburbia, ABC’s freshman comedy “Suburgatory” became one of the network’s breakout hits in the 20112012 season. “Suburgatory: The Complete First Season” offers plenty of revelations, starting with a starmaking lead performance by Jane Levy as Tessa, the city girl forced to relocate to a conformity-obsessed community of shopping malls and manicured lawns, and the light comic touch of Jeremy Sisto, an actor known mostly for intensity on series such as “Six Feet Under,” as her well-meaning father, George. Fans of the 1988 cult comedy “Heathers” or “Easy A” (which starred Levy’s doppelgänger, Emma Stone) will appreciate the acerbic tone and arch viewpoint of “Suburgato-
ry,” which follows the teenage Tessa as she and single dad George are confronted with glassy-eyed Stepford neighbors and a high school populated by mean girls and dopey jocks. Their neighborhood in the fictional town of Chatswin looks like a cross between Wisteria Lane on “Desperate Housewives” and Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” video, and the neighbors, including Fred and Sheila Shay (“Saturday Night Live” vets Chris Parnell and Ana Gasteyer) and pneumatic Dallas Royce (Cheryl Hines), are up in their business. Told through Levy’s narration, the first season shows Tessa and George finding ways of surviving their new environment, with Tessa developing new alliances and a “frenemy” — Dallas’ daughter Dalia (Carly Chaikin).

‘A New Leaf’ As the keenly intelligent if neurotic distaff side of Mike Nichols and Elaine May, the seminal 1960s stand-up comedy team, May launched her moviemaking career in 1971 as a triple-threat talent — writing, directing and starring in a pithy, pitchblack comedy that sharply skewered the idle rich and the sunny conventions of romantic comedy. That film, “A New Leaf,” has since gained minor cult status, both as a forgotten gem and as an object lesson in one director’s stubborn overindulgence. It’s a matter of Hollywood lore that May’s final cut of the film ($2 million over budget and 40 days behind schedule) was a three-hour-long, subplot-laden farce of cruel conniving and bloody, murderous mayhem, which the studio and producer Robert Evans insisted should be drastically cut. When May refused, studio honchos seized the movie and cut it themselves. May publicly disowned the resulting version and sued unsuccessfully to stop its release. Apparently, no copy of

‘Boardwalk Empire’ The Complete Second Season Nucky begins to lose his grip on his “Boardwalk Empire” in the violent but straight-up, 100-proof spectacular second season of HBO’s latest Emmystealing series. With the third season of this powerful Prohibitionera period piece ready to roll out its bootleg barrels — and gun barrels — again this Sunday night, now is a good time to catch up with the action on Blu-ray with HBO Select, DVD or digital download. Adapted by screenwriter and producer Terence Winter (“The Sopranos”) from a book about real-life criminal kingpin Enoch L. Johnson, “Boardwalk Empire” stars Steve Buscemi as Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, the corrupt treasurer of Atlantic County, N.J., who has risen to control Atlantic City — “the world’s playground” — during the early years of Prohibition. Nucky’s beginning to pay the price for his power after the 1920 election when he comes under investigation for voter fraud and there are rumblings of insurrection within his

The recording studio has often been Bob Mould’s confessional where he spills his guts with eloquence and supervolume power about personal angst, agonies, selfdoubts and recriminations borne of a terminally unlucky love life, which is just what he did again on 2009’s “Life and Times.” But what a difference three years can make. On “Silver Age,” Mould shakes off his somber and reflective mood with 10 blasts of the kind of aggressive wall-of-guitar pop that distinguished his latterday work fronting Husker Du in the late ’80s, and the more melodic but no less sonically assailing Sugar in the early ’90s. The walloping album opener “Star Machine” and the immediate follow-
through of the title song are a double-barreled discharge of bright, hookfilled fretboard fury and Mould’s earnest nasal tenor, all belying the customary thematic darkness of his lyrics, this time bemoaning the harsher realities of fame and immaturity rather than good love gone bad. The album’s first single, “The Descent,” continues the same highflying instrumental and vocal trajectory, sounding celebratory while the singer faces the fact that “my world, it is descending,” and the anthemic, mid-tempo “Steam of Hercules” is a magnificent display of Mould’s deep, richly resonant, layered studio style that recalls Sugar’s 1992 album masterwork, “Copper Blue,” which Mould
has been performing in its entirety on tour. Perhaps his electric solo dates opening for Foo Fighters in 2011 — and his nightly guest shots on that band’s song “Dear Rosemary,” which he co-wrote — is the source of his reignition. Foo Fighters do owe a stylistic debt to the tuneful anger of Mould’s best work. Whatever rekindled the fire — revisiting “Copper Blue” or hanging with Dave Grohl — it’s good to have the old Bob back. — Gene Triplett

The Time Jumpers “The Time Jumpers” (Rounder Records) Country supergroup The Time Jumpers come out swinging and never stay anything but true to their old-school musical passions on their self-titled debut on Rounder Records. But the 11-piece Western swing outfit, which consists of Oklahoma-born and bred Country Music Hall of Famer Vince Gill and many of Nashville’s top session players, isn’t just covering old Bob Wills songs or paying tribute to his legendary Texas Playboys. Even if you don’t know them by name, The Time Jumpers — Gill (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), “Ranger Doug” Green (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar), Dawn Sears (vocals), Kenny Sears (vocals, fiddle), Dennis Crouch (upright bass), Larry Franklin (fiddle), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), Andy Reiss (electric guitar), Joe Spivey (fiddle, vocals) Jeff Taylor (accordion, piano) and Billy Thomas (drums, vocals) — have already earned their stripes as musicians, but they also show off their skills as songsmiths on their first studio album. Nine of the 12 tracks on the follow-up to their Grammy-nominated live album “Jumpin’ Time” are new, original songs.
From the flurry of fiddles on the instrumental opening “Texoma Bound” to the wry humor of Kenny Sears’ “Nothing But the Blues,” The Time Jumpers manage to make music that sounds simultaneously vintage and fresh, giving the album a timeless quality that allows it to exceed even the out-oforbit expectations that their lofty reputations bring to a project. The Western swing band, which was founded in 1998, crosses over into other classic genres, from the smoky jazz torch song “Faint of Heart,” which Gill co-penned but spotlights Dawn Sears’ rich voice, to the bouncy cowboy song “Ridin’ on the Rio,” which tips its hat to Ranger Doug’s day job as frontman of the Grammy-winning “comedy and Western” group Riders in the Sky. The ensemble’s cover of Johnny Mercer and Robert Emmet Dolan’s “Yodel Blues” lets Gill, Dawn Sears and Ranger Doug show off their considerable stuff as vocal gymnasts and harmonizers. Although he only became an official Time Jumper in 2010, Gill has clearly made his mark on the band. In addition to “Faint of Heart,” he wrote or co-wrote four other
songs that feature his gorgeous tenor. “The Woman of My Dreams” channels the spirit of the Texas Playboys while maintaining its identity as one of Gill’s songs, “New Star Over Texas” gives a shoutout to the Wills classic “Faded Love” while bouncing through its tale of woe, and his jaunty “On the Outskirts of Town” will make you want to dance even if you’ve never got your swing on before. But his heartbreaker “Three Sides to Every Story” has all the hallmarks of an instant country classic. Gill will play a hometown show at 2 p.m. Sunday at his alma mater, Northwest Classen High School. The benefit concert will celebrate the grand opening of the revamped auditorium where he once played, which has been transformed into the Hudson Performance Hall.

David Byrne and St. Vincent ‘Love This Giant’ (4AD/Todo Mundo)
comer — her only previous screen role was in a fiveepisode arc of Showtime’s “Shameless” — but she is excellent in these 22 episodes as a girl who is too smart for her school and not used to pastels, nose jobs and SUVs. “Suburgatory” is packed with cast members who could take the lead in any series, including Sisto, Parnell and Alan Tudyk, but Levy holds her own against considerable acting talent on a comedy that deserves to carve a larger piece of the audience in its second season. — George Lang
In its style and its substance, David Byrne and St. Vincent’s “Love This Giant” sounds exactly like its constituent parts, with neither party dominating and each working to complement the other’s undeniable strengths. True, Byrne and Tulsa-born Annie Clark are both oddball experimentalists who spike their avant-garde transgressions with just enough pop to make them go down smoothly, but they come from different corners of the art-pop world. Byrne is the visitor peering in on the panglobal traditions of rhythm, while St. Vincent is the Robert Fripp guitar disciple with a penchant for Grimm and noir. And yet, “Love This Giant” is seamless, a mind-melding of Byrne and Clark’s individual curiosities, as perfect a cross-pollination as Robert Plant and Alison
Krauss’ “Raising Sand.” “Who” begins “Love This Giant” with a flurry of brass, a big bundle of multicultural horn sounds that sticks around for most of the running time, whether it’s the complicated arpeggios of the Clark-led “The Forest Awakes” or the Afro-Cuban grooves supplied by the Dap Kings and Antibalas on the lovely “The One Who Broke Your Heart.” While “Who” is an even-split duet, most of “Love This Giant” has Clark and Byrne trading off on lead vocals while the other sings backup. Beyond her distinctively crystalline vocals, Clark is felt most in the chord progressions — she is never one to take the easy way through a song. Byrne is twice Clark’s age, and yet his voice is still as supple and idiosyncratic as it was during his tenure with Talking Heads. His
fascinations with humanity’s quirks are little changed since those days. On “I Should Watch TV,” Byrne sings, “I used to think that I should watch TV, I used to think that it was good for me/ Wanted to know what folks are thinking, to understand the land I live in.” It plays like a sequel to “Television Man” from “Little Creatures,” and in a sense, remote observation suits Byrne, then and now. But when he fully engages with Clark on “Love This Giant,” the two outsiders sound like they have found the club for two they always wanted. — George Lang

HOROSCOPE I ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have an uncommon talent. That’s precisely why you can’t expect the common man to recognize, use or praise it. But there is work you can do to make your gifts more accessible to everyone. I TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will act independently precisely to prove you can. Deep down inside, you may fear being controlled by external circumstances, and you will now prove that you are not easily dominated. I GEMINI (May 21-June 21): It may simply be too difficult for you to work when you’re not inspired. You’ll find inspiration wherever you look for it. You will, however, have to remind yourself to look. I CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your compassion connects you and makes you curious about others. A person doesn’t have to be adventurous and exciting to be interesting to you. I LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are still determined to win at least one game in a certain highly competitive arena. In this matter, the only way to fail is to stop trying. I VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): When something works, don’t celebrate it until you figure out why it works. Look for the pattern that can be repeated. Your future success depends on being able to repeat an effective sequence of actions. I LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23): You sometimes feel an immediate and mutual kinship with people. Other times, it’s more challenging to get comfortable. Finding common ground may take a bit more work now, but you’ll eventually warm into a good rapport. I SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You enter an arena because you want to learn the lessons that are offered there, not because you already know the answers. Expect to mess up. It means you’re fully in attendance of the lesson. I SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The only bummer about the bum deal you got in the past is that it’s hard to erase the memory — but work on it. Put some elbow grease into the erasing process. Scrub vigorously, and you’ll eventually be renewed. I CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may come to a sticking point in a certain project. The problem must be worked out before you can go forward. Try a bit of ridiculousness just to see what happens. What’s illogical is not automatically wrong. I AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have this way of making it clear to others that you’re in a hurry, on to the next adventure. Because of this, people will want to follow you and/or try to obtain another moment more of your time. I PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Fun will not be provided; you’ll have to bring your own. If a project is boring, give it an intriguing name. You have the uncanny ability to turn ordinary happenings into a party. CREATORS SYNDICATE

Writer Joe Keatinge aims for variety of tales Vampires, superheroes, space-born warriors and astronauts are all in day’s work for writer Joe Keatinge. The first collection of Keatinge’s “Glory” comic book came out last month, illustrated by Ross Campbell. In “Glory,” Keatinge has revived a character from the 1990s and given her a new twist. Keatinge’s other projects include the upstart superheroics of “Hell Yeah” and two recently announced upcoming projects: the sci-fi “Intergalactic” and the Marvel Comics vampire “Morbius.” “Glory” blends fantasy, sci-fi and superheroes. The protagonist is the daughter of two warring alien races who comes to earth. The character debuted in Image Comics’ “Youngblood Strikefile” back in 1993, created by Rob Liefeld. “I was 10 years old when Image launched ... it definitely had an effect on me,” Keatinge said in a recent phone interview. “At the same time I was discovering all sorts of other stuff, especially European comics. Kind of the mix of those two influences turned into ‘Glory’ in specific ... If they were doing ’90sstyle comics in Europe, I imagine it would end up something like ‘Glory.’” The “Glory” trade paperback collects issues No. 23-28 (the new series continued the numbering of

WORD BALLOONS the 1990s series), and is available now. Ross Campbell (“Wet Moon”) is the illustrator. “I feel like ‘Glory’ is by far most critically acclaimed thing I’ve ever worked on, and I get the most feedback on it, and the most impassioned feedback from readers at conventions, and online,” Keatinge said. The trade paperback for Keatinge’s other Image Comics series, “Hell, Yeah,” is set for later this year, collecting the first five issues. The series stars Ben Day, a young, superpowered man who discovers that alternate versions of him throughout the multiverse are being murdered. “The two biggest influences in American comics would be ‘Savage Dragon’ and Mike Allred’s ‘Madman,’” Keatinge said. “The first arc of ‘Hell Yeah’ is kind of about coming to terms with reality when you’re younger, and dealing with the checks that have been cashed by your parents and the ramifications thereof.” Later this year, Keatinge

plans an outer-space trip in the hard science fiction comic “Intergalactic,” which will be released digitally through the publisher Monkeybrain. The artist is Ken Garing (“Planetoid”). “‘Intergalactic,’ in loose idea, is something that’s been with me for a while. Like a lot of people, growing up, I was really into the whole idea of the space program, even though it was definitely past its prime by the time I was really getting into it.” Keatinge said “Intergalactic” will tend toward the Arthur C. Clarke or Stanislaw Lem branch of science fiction. “All the sci-fi that I tend to enjoy as a reader ... tend to be more grounded; fantastic things may happened, but it’s definitely human-based and the technology is all plausible.

That’s the kind of stuff I really like; ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ is one of my favorite movies.” The book will focus on a large family who has been involved in space travel. “It is a complete departure from anything I’ve done before, in tone,” Keatinge said. “It’s about this sprawling, large family dynasty. It’s about them, and how they deal with each other, and the ways they don’t get along, or get along, and how complicated family can get. And it’s a much more subtle book than anything I’ve done before.” And Keatinge is also setting up shop with Marvel Comics. A series featuring Marvel villain Thanos was announced, then canceled, but the planned creative team is coming back together for “Morbius:
The Living Vampire.” “Working with Marvel on ‘Morbius’ is hugely exciting for me. Being teamed up with my ‘Thanos: Son of Titan’ collaborator, Rich Elson, has me absolutely ecstatic. There hasn’t been a Marvel book quite like this one before — I’m very thrilled with what they’re letting us do on the book.” Leading into “Morbius,” Keatinge will write issue 699.1 of “Amazing SpiderMan.” As for what to expect from Keatinge in the future, his only promise is continuing variety. “I want to do all sorts of comics. I don’t want to do just one type of comic,” he said. “I started off doing creator-owned, and now I’m doing work with Marvel ... I have a wide variety of interests, I don’t see the reason to pigeonhole yourself in what you do.”

For the past two years, he and his girlfriend have shared an apartment and lived as man and wife.

However, my daughter insists on it and wants everybody to get excited. OK — so I’m excited. Whoopee. — Granny Mae DEAR GRANNY MAE: You are focusing on the wrong thing. Your grandson and his fiancee care enough about each other to commit, in a public ceremony, to spending their lives together. That’s a positive step that deserves to be celebrated. Whether you or I approve of couples living together is beside the point. They are adults and it was their choice. Be happy that they are now tying the knot to bind themselves together in a more permanent union. DEAR ABBY: My sister, “Doris,” got divorced 10 years ago. Since then, she’s lost a lot of weight and had
Jeanne Phillips DEAR ABBY extensive plastic surgery. She now dresses in as little clothing as possible to show off her body. We frequently have family gettogethers, and I notice my husband, “Rod,” looking at Doris in a sexual way. She seems to appreciate it. At the last family gathering, she wore black thong underwear. I know because it became impossible to ignore after she positioned herself on her chair so that her pants dropped down, exposing her fanny. I am upset with her. I told my mother I’d like to limit these get-togethers. Now my mother is mad at me. She says I am being silly and unreasonable. What do you think? — Hurting, San Fernando Valley, Calif. DEAR HURTING: Your sister is overcompensating for all those years she felt unattractive. I hope she learns quickly that the kind of attention she’s getting from dressing so seductively isn’t the kind that lasts. P.S. In the interest of your marriage, your husband should be less obvious about his ogling since it’s making you feel insecure. If you haven’t done
so already, please mention it. DEAR ABBY: My daughters attend a high school where a “Sadie Hawkins” dance has been planned for the students. The problem is, the guys at their school think it’s “cool” to wait until the day before the dance to answer the girls’ invitations. These are otherwise polite young men, but they see no problem in making the girl wait until the last minute to know if she even has
a date for the event. I think this is extremely rude and inconsiderate. What is your opinion? And what do you suggest the girls say to the young men who leave them hanging — Mom Who Cares in Arizona DEAR MOM WHO CARES: The courteous way to respond when invited out is to accept or say no promptly. I agree that it’s rude to keep someone hanging. If your daughters don’t get a response within
a reasonable amount of time — say, 24 to 48 hours — they should invite someone else. And when the original boy finally comes up with his acceptance, he should be told, “Sorry, when I didn’t hear back from you, I asked someone else.” Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O.

Fall finds time for plenty of new music Nov. 13
BY PIET LEVY Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With so many highlyanticipated albums this fall, it can all be pretty overwhelming, but this handy guide, covering significant releases through November, will help you make sense of it all.
Released Tuesday
Bob Dylan, “Tempest”: The Bard recorded his first studio album 50 years ago. On Tuesday, he delivered his 35th studio album, handling the production duties himself as Jack Frost. The celebration continues during a fall tour with Mark Knopfler. Dave Matthews Band, “Away from the World”: North America’s highest grossing touring act of the last decade is collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 14 years.

Tuesday Watch for: P!nk, “The Truth About Love”: The gritty pop star released “Greatest Hits … So Far!!!” in 2010 and seems to be building content for the sequel; “Love” single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has seen a lot of love on the charts. Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music, “Cruel Summer”: Yeezy’s boundary-pushing hip-hop is typically a hit in any season. Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz join in the good vibes.

But a reunion tour got the creative juices flowing again. Green Day, “!Uno!”: Instead of following up 2009’s “21st Century
Breakdown” with one more album, the poppunk trio is releasing three. Guess what the other two are called.

Judges shine as the contestants falter BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Javier Colon’s family and friends were so excited when he won the first season of “The Voice,” they assured him that he was set for life — and famous. The 35-year-old musician knew better. “I never expected that I would be like the next Kelly Clarkson,” Colon said, referring to the superstar who got her start on “American Idol.” “Expectations and hopes are different things. Fortunately for me, I’ve had a lot of experience in the music business — some good ones and some not so good ones — that led me to auditioning for ‘The Voice.’ I’ve learned to just not expect much.” More than a year after his win, Colon is without a record contract and still trying to land a breakout hit on the charts. He is just one of the increasing number of singing contest winners who are struggling to find their way after TV success. Among the more recent “Idol” winners who have faltered after capturing the crown are David Cook and Kris Allen; and while runner-up status or even being a top finalist could lead to fame in the early seasons, like with Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry, prospects for non-winners have dropped so much that this year, “Idol” stopped offering second-place finishers a guaranteed recording contract. Last season’s “X Factor” winner Melanie Amaro’s debut single, released last month, hasn’t made much of a dent on radio (though her official album debut is in December), and there are concerns that the most recent “Voice” winner, Jermaine Paul, may end up

following the same path as Colon. It all points to a troubling trend for those who still believe in their original mission from the early days of reality TV. “That’s what the show, at the end of the day, was designed for,” said Simon Cowell, a judge and creative force on “American Idol” who has since moved to “The X Factor,” which debuts Wednesday on Fox. “Ratings are important, but if you’re not producing the goods year on year, then it’s sort of pointless making these shows.” At the same time, there’s been a noticeable shift in the competition shows’ focus. Once con-
tent with finding the next Mariah Carey, these days it’s more about … well, Mariah Carey. Far more ink has been spilled over the new “American Idol” judge’s eight-figure salary and the show’s revolving judging panel than on last year’s winner. And the ante is upped repeatedly as new shows pop up all over the television dial — each with its own star-laden list of mentors, coaches and judges. Over at “The Voice,” which also debuted this week, they’ve made changes for Season 3 they hope will help aspiring artists shine through. The NBC show has been popular and viewers love the chemistry among coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Oklahoma country star Blake Shelton. Yet the show hasn’t produced a breakout star, something producers hope will change now that they’ve altered some of the rules that led to quick eliminations. “It’s not that long of a season, so by the time we
get to the end it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, I don’t know who I like. It happened so fast,’ “ Shelton said. “And we do realize that the attention’s focused on us more than it needs to be. And the viewer … that’s the only thing they’ve had time to figure out because they’ve had sixty-something contestants to wade through.” Shelton and Levine have tried to extend the buzz for their contestants by taking them out on tour. And Green says he tries to stay in contact with each team member he’s had since “The Voice” shot to the top of ratings when it debuted last year. The flamboyant entertainer thinks the lack of post-competition star power might have something to do with the music industry itself. “It’s a genuine concern of mine, man, because I’m concerned about the industry at large, that it does not carry and develop more young talent,” Green said. “We’re talking about stars, sensations. I just don’t see those fireworks that once were. It’s not as
exciting. It’s not as plentiful.” Cowell argues you need more than star singers to anoint the next big talent. On “X Factor” Epic Records chairman/CEO L.A. Reid is as crucial as celebrity judges, which this year includes Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. Over at “Idol,” there’s a question about the status of Randy Jackson — the last link to the show’s original panel with Cowell and Paula Abdul. The rumored list of names who might replace outgoing stars Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler has included Nicki Minaj, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, not executives or producers. “I wouldn’t trust four singers on one of these shows,” Cowell said. “You’ve got to have record executives balanced with the artists. The artists give one perspective and the record label gives a completely different perspective.” As Colon predicted, the year since he won has been challenging. He asked out of his record contract with Universal Republic when he felt he wasn’t getting the necessary promotional push and support. But he recently wrapped a swing through South America with Maroon 5 at Levine’s invitation. And more important, he’s now able to draw several hundred out to a solo gig in North Dakota. “The Voice” didn’t give him stardom, but the wave of momentum from the show gave him a career. “My expectations going into the show were just, you know, I want this to be a good opportunity for me and good exposure and hopefully I’ll be in a better place than I was before the show started,” Colon said. “I’m definitely there and beyond that.”
Clive Davis
Music mogul to release biography BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press
NEW YORK — Music mogul Clive Davis will release an autobiography in February that will include “the excitements, the disappointments and the triumphs” of his career. The untitled book will be released through Simon & Schuster and will be written with music journalist Anthony DeCurtis. A news release says it will include “never-beforeheard tales” about Davis’ work with acts like Whitney Houston, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan. Financial terms were not disclosed for Davis’ deal, but an official with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal was worth seven figures. The official was not authorized to discuss the deal and asked not to be identified. Davis has helped the careers of many top musicians from Aretha Franklin to Billy Joel to Alicia Keys. The Harvard Law School graduate founded both Arista and J Records. He’s currently the COO of Sony Music and is working on Franklin’s new album and Houston’s forthcoming greatest hits set.

Matthews heads ‘Away From the World’ BY RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Dave Matthews needed a break. His famously hardworking band took last year off and Matthews says he’s planning to scale back future summer tours to spend more time with his wife and three children. Still, Matthews didn’t want to give himself too much free time. The band reunited early this year with “Crash” and “Before These Crowded Streets” producer Steve Lillywhite, originally planning to record studio versions of older tunes from live performances. Matthews decided instead to pen and record all new songs, with lyrics about love, lust, aging and activism laid over his three bandmates’ recognizably comfortable-yet-funky musical bed. The result, “Away From the World,” follows the critical and commercial success of 2009’s “Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King”: 1.2 million copies sold and an album of the year Grammy nomination. The latest album, out Tuesday, “has a smaller poignance for me,” the South African-born musician said in an interview. “It’s not a wave the way the other one was, but it has a more personal quality to it for me.” Clearly proud of his latest at-

No doubt, band will ‘Push and Shove’ its way back to the top BY RANDY LEWIS Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A couple of big questions loom before the members of longrunning rock group No Doubt as they prepare to re-enter the fray of contemporary pop music with their first new album in 11 years, “Push and Shove”: Does the world even remember who they are and, if so, does it still care? “Where do we fit in?” bleach-blond-Mohawkcoiffed drummer Adrian Young, 43, asked during a break in rehearsals recently in Hollywood ahead of a string of high-profile TV appearances the group is making in coming weeks. “I still don’t know. (The first single) ‘Settle Down’ is on the radio right now, but I don’t know where this album is going to fit in. It may carve its own niche.” Singer Gwen Stefani took an even more pragmatic view of the question: “Where did we ever fit in?” That realization spurred frontwoman, main songwriter, fashion designer, cover girl, celebrity mom and solo pop star Stefani to embrace a Zen-like attitude while working for the last 2½ years with her longtime cohorts on the album they’ll present to the world on Sept. 25. “It wasn’t like we were trying for anything more than just to enjoy the moment, and to be in the moment,” said Stefani, 42, looking like, well, the rock star she is in a monochromatic black, asymmetrical-collared jacket, white tank top, trim slacks and four-inch silver stiletto heels, her blond hair pulled back in an anarchic ponytail, one small perfect wave curled above her right ear. “It took so long,” she said. “If we were just waiting for it to be done, it would have been a waste of life.” To almost any other act, an 11-year gap between albums would constitute several lifetimes outside the fast-churn world of pop music. But No Doubt has remained committedly resilient through a 25-year career that produced one of the cornerstone pop albums of the 1990s in “Tragic Kingdom.” It spent nine weeks at No. 1, and spawned one of the defining singles of the era, “Don’t Speak,” Stefani’s soaring ballad about the dissolution of her sevenyear romance with the
Gwen Stefani
band’s bassist, Tony Kanal. “That’s the story of No Doubt,” said Kanal, 42, as he sat across from Stefani. They co-wrote all the lyrics for the new songs — a first in the still-evolving musical partnership that long ago transcended their romantic relationship. “Through all the tough stuff we’ve gone through — and you can name 50 things — we’ve always persevered. And through all those obstacles — it sounds really cliche to say it — but we’ve always come out stronger.” Is it possible, though, for a band that’s been around this long to exert a significant influence in a world now dominated by the frothy youth pop of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and “American Idol” — none of which existed when No Doubt got started? In that regard, No Doubt is virtually unique. “We don’t feel like they’ve ever left, because Gwen is in the forefront of pop culture,” said John Ivey, program director at Southern California Top 40 radio powerhouse KIIS-FM. “With her and Gavin (Rossdale, Stefani’s rock-star husband) and the babies, her (product) endorsements, her clothing line: When you have all that other stuff going for you and your brand is so big, you can be a little bit slower in putting out your music.” Pop radio isn’t the only place where No Doubt is still generating interest this far down the line: The NFL featured the group during the kickoff game for the 2012 football season, the band performed in July on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” it will launch the two-day I Heart Radio Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 21 and will visit “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” the week the album drops. It’s also playing six shows Nov. 24 to Dec. 4 at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
children, growing old and God. Q: How was your break from touring last year? Did it accomplish what you’d hoped? A: It was good. It forced me to
realign things. There was a momentum that had built up over the years that I sort of didn’t feel I had any say. I wanted to stop. So we did. It wasn’t like I went to Outer Mongolia and stared at the stars, which I sort of fantasized about doing. But I think it was good for very personal reasons. Q: Who did you spend time with? A: I spent most of my time with my family. We traveled a bit. I think I will (take a break) every year because it made a big difference to have time with my kids. I like working. But it seems like there’s a shift and I had to make that shift apparent to myself and everyone around me with my kids. I feel really important around them. Because I like to feel important. I feel like I make a difference, for better or for worse, when I’m around them. Q: Are they into music? A: Yeah. In all different ways. My girls are 11 so they’re fans of music. At the moment I think they like my music. They’ve got their own things they’re into as well (Beyonce, Taylor Swift). I don’t care what they listen to. My son, he’s pretty heartfelt. He’s 5 now. He’s sort of more of a thrasher. He likes Iron Maiden and he likes Black Sabbath. Mainly I think because of ‘Iron Man.’ This year was the first year I took my girls on the road with
me with no one else, which was nice. I just hang out with them all the time. Then I also end up seeing the cities I’m in — in a much more thorough way. It’s good fun to host a party with my daughters. Q: You recorded this album much quicker than the last album — a few weeks in the studio versus many months. How were you thinking about following up “Big Whiskey”? A: There was so much that happened in the last record. Roi (Moore) died in the middle of it so it had a different focus. The last album incorporated a lot of mourning with the death of our bandmate. I can’t compare the two: apples and oranges. But this album, it was a very refreshing process. And it was interesting to go back with Steve Lillywhite and be old men together. Q: It sounds from the album like you’re thinking quite a bit about growing old. A: I’m partly obsessed by aging gracefully. Not that I believe in God. I use God in my songs a lot but I don’t have a relationship. I don’t know what that means. But my sister said, ‘You age gracefully so you find out what God wanted you to look like when you’re old.’ I kind of like that idea. But I like the wrinkles. I woke up three days ago and I thought, ‘In 15 years I’m going to be 60.’ Wow, that’s pretty soon.

Fall finds time for plenty of new music Nov. 13
BY PIET LEVY Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With so many highlyanticipated albums this fall, it can all be pretty overwhelming, but this handy guide, covering significant releases through November, will help you make sense of it all.
Released Tuesday
Bob Dylan, “Tempest”: The Bard recorded his first studio album 50 years ago. On Tuesday, he delivered his 35th studio album, handling the production duties himself as Jack Frost. The celebration continues during a fall tour with Mark Knopfler. Dave Matthews Band, “Away from the World”: North America’s highest grossing touring act of the last decade is collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 14 years. Also out: David Byrne and Tulsa native St. Vincent are an odd couple on the horn-heavy “Love This Giant” … Americana act the Avett Brothers nailed down “The Carpenter” with mega-producer Rick Rubin … Rubin also had a hand in ZZ Top’s “La Futura,” the Southern rock trio’s first studio album in nine years … Latinflavored Calexico travels to “Algiers” … After a Spanish-language detour with 2009’s “Mi Plan,” Nelly Furtado returns to the dance floor with “The Spirit Indestructible” … Florida rock band miggs looks for new fans at the corner of “15th & Hope” … the xx try to hit audiophiles’ sweet spot with their sophomore album “Coexist.”
Tuesday Watch for: P!nk, “The Truth About Love”: The gritty pop star released “Greatest Hits … So Far!!!” in 2010 and seems to be building content for the sequel; “Love” single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has seen a lot of love on the charts. Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music, “Cruel Summer”: Yeezy’s boundary-pushing hip-hop is typically a hit in any season. Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz join in the good vibes. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Kiss”: Peppy dance-pop track “Call Me Maybe” definitely became the biggest song of the summer. Also out: White-hot rapper Wiz Khalifa comes back with “O.N.I.F.C.” … Killers fans, prepare for “Battle Born,” the alt-rock band’s latest … Band of Horses saddled up with legendary rock producer Glyn Johns for “Mirage Rock” … Critically acclaimed indie pop band Grizzly Bear follows up its 2009 surprise commercial hit “Veckatimest” with “Shields” … Little Big Town will try to rip through the country charts like a “Tornado” … Rockoriented singer-songwriter Aimee Mann should be a “Charmer” with critics … Smooth R&B crooner Ne-Yo drops “R.E.D.,” not to be confused with Taylor Swift’s “Red” out a month later … Dwight Yoakam fans have waited seven years for new album “3 Pears” … Ben Folds Five is back together for its first piano-pop album in 13 years, “The Sound of the Life of the Mind.”
Sept. 25 Watch for: Mumford & Sons, “Babel”: If an act could take credit for the Americana boom, it would be this band from across the pond, whose debut, “Sigh No More,” has sold 2.4 million copies in the U.S. No Doubt, “Push and Shove”: With singer Gwen Stefani finding success as a pop artist, it seemed doubtful the reggae/ punk band would ever release another album. But a reunion tour got the creative juices flowing again. Green Day, “!Uno!”: Instead of following up 2009’s “21st Century
Breakdown” with one more album, the poppunk trio is releasing three. Guess what the other two are called. Also out: Electronic dance music superstar deadmau5 wins the award for fall’s most original album title with “” … Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco isn’t aiming for humility with “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1” … Indybased indie rock band Hero Jr. unveils its “Backup Plan” … Rapper Talib Kweli becomes a “Prisoner of Conscience” … John Hiatt plays a game of “Mystic Pinball” … “Yokokimthurston” is a collaboration between Yoko Ono, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore … Pete Seeger, 93, finds “A More Perfect Union” with guests Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris.
Also out: “Monster” is a subtle title for one of rock’s most excessive bands, Kiss ... It’s a good day for jam band fans, with albums from Phish’s Trey Anastasio (“Traveler”) and Widespread Panic (“Wood”) … Like her brother Rufus, Martha Wainwright has turned to her late mother, Kate McGarrigle, for inspiration with “Come Home to Mama” … Singer-songwriter Ben Harper is asking for fans to be “By My Side” … Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard goes solo for “Former Lives.”
Oct. 23
Watch for: Taylor Swift, “Red”: First single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” shot to No.
1. Unlike her 2010 smash “Speak Now,” Swift shared songwriting duties this time, including a track cowritten with rising British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Also out: Gary Clark Jr. has been getting buzz and drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan leading up to this yet-untitled LP … Texas alt-rock band … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead hopes people will find its “Lost Songs” … Just in time for Halloween, singer-songwriter Bat for Lashes reveals “The Haunted Man” … The Sword wields a heavy rock sound once again with “Apocryphon” … Shiny Toy Guns, which has Shawnee ties, is back with original female vocal-
ist Carah Faye Charnow for “III” … Dallas psychedelic pop group the Polyphonic Spree offers “Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays Volume One.”
Oct 30
Watch for: Rod Stewart, “Merry Christmas, Baby”: Lending some assistance on this album is the holiday-loving Buble, Cee Lo Green and the late Ella Fitzgerald.
Nov. 6
Watch for: Aerosmith, “Music from Another Dimension!” The first studio album in 11 years for the rock ’n’ roll staples didn’t coalesce in time for the band’s summer tour — but what’s a few months later after 11 years?
Watch for: One Direction, “Take Me Home”: “If only,” millions of young female fans must be thinking. The next best thing will be this British boy band’s sure-to-be-huge sophomore album. Also out: OneRepublic is supposed to release a new album whose title is to be determined (maybe Tulsa native Ryan Tedder’s soft-rock band will do some decent touring this time out) … Aaron Lewis from hard-rock’s Staind goes solo country for “The Road” … Will Soundgarden’s long-delayed first album since 1996 actually come out on this date?
Nov. 20
Watch for: Graham Parker & the Rumour, “Three Chords Good”: The British rock band, active in the late ‘70s, is releasing its first album in 31 years.
Nov. 27
Watch for: Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”: Keys recorded “Fire” in New York, London and Jamaica and let her husband, Swizz Beatz, handle production duties. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
Oct. 2 Watch for: Blake Shelton, “Cheers It’s Christmas”: The Oklahoma country star and “Voice” coach gets into the holiday spirit early with some help from his wife Miranda Lambert, fellow Oklahoman Reba McEntire, crooner Michael Buble, and even his own mama, Dorothy Shackleford. Muse, “The 2nd Law”: Fans got a taste of the bombastic rock act’s new album when single “Survival” became the official anthem of the London Olympic Games. Also out: Australian teen singer Cody Simpson will be taking girls to “Paradise” ... If the previous 33 albums weren’t enough indication, blue-eyed soul singer Van Morrison is declaring with his 34th that he was “Born to Sing: No Plan B” … Take heart, Heart fans: the rock band’s got a new one just for you, “Fanatic” … Papa Roach survives with “The Connection” … Indie pop duo Matt and Kim attempt to create some “Lightning” in a bottle … Folk group the Mountain Goats seek “Transcendental Youth.”
Oct. 9 Watch for: Ellie Goulding, “Halcyon”: Single “Lights” has been burning brightly in the States for William and Kate’s wedding singer, which bodes well for the her sophomore album. The Script, “#3”: The Script didn’t have to wait three albums to charm listeners; the Irish groupfound success with single “Breakeven” and sophomore album, 2010’s “Science & Faith.” Also out: Oklahoma’s own Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, 74, still has some “Unfinished Business” with producer Justin Townes Earle … Eagles ex-guitarist Don Felder releases “Road to Forever,” his first solo album in nearly three decades … Indie rock supergroup Bad Books, featuring Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra, drops its second album, “II” … Up-and-coming EDM artist Zedd looks for “Clarity” … rapper Xzibit loves the smell of “Napalm” … Just in time for the apocalypse, Rick Springfield releases “Songs for the End of the World.”
Oct. 16

Dave Matthews heads ‘Away From the World’ BY RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Dave Matthews needed a break. His famously hardworking band took last year off and Matthews says he’s planning to scale back future summer tours to spend more time with his wife and three children. Still, Matthews didn’t want to give himself too much free time. The band reunited early this year with “Crash” and “Before These Crowded Streets” producer Steve Lillywhite, originally planning to record studio versions of older tunes from live performances. Matthews decided instead to pen and record all new songs, with lyrics about love, lust, aging and activism laid over his three bandmates’ recognizably comfortable-yet-funky musical bed. The result, “Away From the World,” follows the critical and commercial success of 2009’s “Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King”: 1.2 million copies sold and an album of the year Grammy nomination. The latest album, out Tuesday, “has a smaller poignance for me,” the South African-born musician said in an interview. “It’s not a wave the way the other one was, but it has a more personal quality to it for me.” Clearly proud of his latest attempt to shake DMB from the casual listener’s “great jam band, but …” label, the 45-year-old singer-songwriter spoke with The Associated Press about his children, growing old and God. Q: How was your break from touring last year? Did it accomplish what

you’d hoped? A: It was good. It forced me to realign things. There was a momentum that had built up over the years that I sort of didn’t feel I had any say. I wanted to stop. So we did. It wasn’t like I went to Outer Mongolia and stared at the stars, which I sort of fantasized about doing. But I think it was good for very personal reasons. Q: Who did you spend time with? A: I spent most of my time with my family. We traveled a bit. I think I will (take a break) every year because it made a big difference to have time with my kids. I like working. But it seems like there’s a shift and I had to make that shift apparent to myself and everyone around me with my kids. I feel really important around them. Because I like to feel important. I feel like I make a difference, for better or for worse, when I’m around them. Q: Are they into music?
into Oklahoma’s entertainment scene at blog.newsok.com/ bamsblog and in Weekend Look.
A: Yeah. In all different ways. My girls are 11 so they’re fans of music. At the moment I think they
like my music. They’ve got their own things they’re into as well (Beyonce, Taylor Swift). I don’t care what they listen to. My son, he’s pretty heartfelt. He’s 5 now. He’s sort of more of a thrasher. He likes Iron Maiden and he likes Black Sabbath. Mainly I think because of ‘Iron Man.’ This year was the first year I took my girls on the road with me with no one else, which was nice. I just hang out with them all the time. Then I also end up seeing the cities I’m in — in a much more thorough way. It’s good fun to host a party with my daughters. Q: You recorded this album much quicker than the last album — a few weeks in the studio versus many months. How were you thinking about following up “Big Whiskey”? A: There was so much that happened in the last
record. Roi (Moore) died in the middle of it so it had a different focus. The last album incorporated a lot of mourning with the death of our bandmate. I can’t compare the two: apples and oranges. But this album, it was a very refreshing process. And it was interesting to go back with Steve Lillywhite and be old men together. Q: Were you flashing back to cutting those first records with him? A: Yeah, there were some similar methods. Also the relationship is very different. It was nice to see an old friend who we had lost touch with. I wasn’t in a great place when we left each other. I can’t speak for anyone else but I don’t think being around me was the best part of their lives. But I think I always have a joyful face on. But I was troubled.
But then this time I feel pretty good about where I am, I think, when we went into making the record. A little less, fewer layers to get to the chewy center nowadays. It’s not as tasty as it was maybe 10 years ago but can’t do anything about that. Q: It sounds from the album like you’re thinking quite a bit about growing old. A: I’m partly obsessed by aging gracefully. Not that I believe in God. I use God in my songs a lot but I don’t have a relationship. I don’t know what that means. But my sister said, ‘You age gracefully so you find out what God wanted you to look like when you’re old.’ I kind of like that idea. But I like the wrinkles. I woke up three days ago and I thought, ‘In 15 years I’m going to be 60.’ Wow, that’s pretty soon.

Band may ‘Push and Shove’ its way back to the top BY RANDY LEWIS Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A couple of big questions loom before the members of longrunning rock group No Doubt as they prepare to re-enter the fray of contemporary pop music with their first new album in 11 years, “Push and Shove”: Does the world even remember who they are and, if so, does it still care? “Where do we fit in?” bleach-blond-Mohawkcoiffed drummer Adrian Young, 43, asked during a break in rehearsals recently in Hollywood ahead of a string of high-profile TV appearances the group is making in coming weeks. “I still don’t know. (The first single) ‘Settle Down’ is on the radio right now, but I don’t know where this album is going to fit in. It may carve its own niche.” Singer Gwen Stefani took an even more pragmatic view of the question: “Where did we ever fit in?” That realization spurred frontwoman, main songwriter, fashion designer, cover girl, celebrity mom and solo pop star Stefani to embrace a Zen-like attitude while working for the last 2½ years with her longtime cohorts on the album they’ll present to the world on Sept. 25. “It wasn’t like we were trying for anything more than just to enjoy the moment, and to be in the moment,” said Stefani, 42, looking like, well, the rock star she is in a monochromatic black, asymmetrical-collared jacket, white tank top, trim slacks and four-inch silver stiletto heels, her blond hair pulled back in an anarchic ponytail, one small perfect wave curled above her right ear. “It took so long,” she said. “If we were just waiting for it to be done, it would have been a waste of life.” To almost any other act, an 11-year gap between albums would constitute several lifetimes outside the fast-churn world of pop music. But No Doubt has remained committedly resilient through a 25-year career that produced one of the cornerstone pop albums of the 1990s in “Tragic Kingdom.” It spent nine weeks at No. 1, and spawned one of the defining singles of the era, “Don’t Speak,” Stefani’s soaring ballad about the dissolution of her sevenyear romance with the band’s bassist, Tony Kanal. “That’s the story of No Doubt,” said Kanal, 42, as he sat across from Stefani.

They co-wrote all the lyrics for the new songs — a first in the still-evolving musical partnership that long ago transcended their romantic relationship. “Through all the tough stuff we’ve gone through — and you can name 50 things — we’ve always persevered. And through all those obstacles — it sounds really cliche to say it — but we’ve always come out stronger.” Is it possible, though, for a band that’s been around this long to exert a significant influence in a world now dominated by the frothy youth pop of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and “American Idol” — none of which existed when No Doubt got started? In that regard, No Doubt is virtually unique. “We don’t feel like they’ve ever left, because Gwen is in the forefront of pop culture,” said John Ivey, program director at Southern California Top 40 radio powerhouse KIIS-FM. “With her and Gavin (Rossdale, Stefani’s rockstar husband) and the babies, her (product) endorsements, her clothing line: When you have all that other stuff going for you and your brand is so big, you can be a little bit slower in putting out your music.” Pop radio isn’t the only place where No Doubt is still generating interest this far down the line: The NFL featured the group during the kickoff game for the 2012 football season, the band performed in July on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” it will launch the two-day I Heart Radio Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 21 and will visit “The Ellen DeGeneres
Show” the week the album drops. It’s also playing six shows Nov. 24 to Dec. 4 at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The album features a cadre of au courant programmers including Anthony Gorry, Jonas Quant and Wayne Wilkins, and Major Lazer and Busy Signal on the title track. The guest talent helps bolster the album’s broad stylistic range — from driving electronic dance music (“Looking Hot”) and dreamy synth-pop (“One More Summer”) to romantically yearning dance hall reggae (“Sparkle”) and melancholy dance pop (“Undercover”) echoing No Doubt’s earliest efforts. “We wanted it to sound modern,” guitarist Tom Dumont, 44, said, “but we’ve openly said the album is really made up of influences of things we grew up with. … It opens the question of what is modern? When I hear ‘Settle Down’ on the radio, it still doesn’t sound like anything else.” MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Fall finds time for plenty of new music Nov. 13
BY PIET LEVY Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With so many highlyanticipated albums this fall, it can all be pretty overwhelming, but this handy guide, covering significant releases through November, will help you make sense of it all.
Released Tuesday
Bob Dylan, “Tempest”: The Bard recorded his first studio album 50 years ago. On Tuesday, he delivered his 35th studio album, handling the production duties himself as Jack Frost. The celebration continues during a fall tour with Mark Knopfler. Dave Matthews Band, “Away from the World”: North America’s highest grossing touring act of the last decade is collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 14 years. Also out: David Byrne and Tulsa native St. Vincent are an odd couple on the horn-heavy “Love This Giant” … Americana act the Avett Brothers nailed down “The Carpenter” with mega-producer Rick Rubin … Rubin also had a hand in ZZ Top’s “La Futura,” the Southern rock trio’s first studio album in nine years … Latinflavored Calexico travels to “Algiers” … After a Spanish-language detour with 2009’s “Mi Plan,” Nelly Furtado returns to the dance floor with “The Spirit Indestructible” … Florida rock band miggs looks for new fans at the corner of “15th & Hope” … the xx try to hit audiophiles’ sweet spot with their sophomore album “Coexist.”
Tuesday Watch for: P!nk, “The Truth About Love”: The gritty pop star released “Greatest Hits … So Far!!!” in 2010 and seems to be building content for the sequel; “Love” single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has seen a lot of love on the charts. Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music, “Cruel Summer”: Yeezy’s boundary-pushing hip-hop is typically a hit in any season. Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz join in the good vibes. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Kiss”: Peppy dance-pop track “Call Me Maybe” definitely became the biggest song of the summer. Also out: White-hot rapper Wiz Khalifa comes back with “O.N.I.F.C.” … Killers fans, prepare for “Battle Born,” the alt-rock band’s latest … Band of Horses saddled up with legendary rock producer Glyn Johns for “Mirage Rock” … Critically acclaimed indie pop band Grizzly Bear follows up its 2009 surprise commercial hit “Veckatimest” with “Shields” … Little Big Town will try to rip through the country charts like a “Tornado” … Rockoriented singer-songwriter Aimee Mann should be a “Charmer” with critics … Smooth R&B crooner Ne-Yo drops “R.E.D.,” not to be confused with Taylor Swift’s “Red” out a month later … Dwight Yoakam fans have waited seven years for new album “3 Pears” … Ben Folds Five is back together for its first piano-pop album in 13 years, “The Sound of the Life of the Mind.”
Sept. 25 Watch for: Mumford & Sons, “Babel”: If an act could take credit for the Americana boom, it would be this band from across the pond, whose debut, “Sigh No More,” has sold 2.4 million copies in the U.S. No Doubt, “Push and Shove”: With singer Gwen Stefani finding success as a pop artist, it seemed doubtful the reggae/ punk band would ever release another album. But a reunion tour got the creative juices flowing again. Green Day, “!Uno!”: Instead of following up 2009’s “21st Century
Breakdown” with one more album, the poppunk trio is releasing three. Guess what the other two are called. Also out: Electronic dance music superstar deadmau5 wins the award for fall’s most original album title with “” … Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco isn’t aiming for humility with “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1” … Indybased indie rock band Hero Jr. unveils its “Backup Plan” … Rapper Talib Kweli becomes a “Prisoner of Conscience” … John Hiatt plays a game of “Mystic Pinball” … “Yokokimthurston” is a collaboration between Yoko Ono, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore … Pete Seeger, 93, finds “A More Perfect Union” with guests Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris.
Also out: “Monster” is a subtle title for one of rock’s most excessive bands, Kiss ... It’s a good day for jam band fans, with albums from Phish’s Trey Anastasio (“Traveler”) and Widespread Panic (“Wood”) … Like her brother Rufus, Martha Wainwright has turned to her late mother, Kate McGarrigle, for inspiration with “Come Home to Mama” … Singer-songwriter Ben Harper is asking for fans to be “By My Side” … Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard goes solo for “Former Lives.”
Oct. 23
Watch for: Taylor Swift, “Red”: First single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” shot to No.
1. Unlike her 2010 smash “Speak Now,” Swift shared songwriting duties this time, including a track cowritten with rising British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Also out: Gary Clark Jr. has been getting buzz and drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan leading up to this yet-untitled LP … Texas alt-rock band … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead hopes people will find its “Lost Songs” … Just in time for Halloween, singer-songwriter Bat for Lashes reveals “The Haunted Man” … The Sword wields a heavy rock sound once again with “Apocryphon” … Shiny Toy Guns, which has Shawnee ties, is back with original female vocal-
ist Carah Faye Charnow for “III” … Dallas psychedelic pop group the Polyphonic Spree offers “Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays Volume One.”
Oct 30
Watch for: Rod Stewart, “Merry Christmas, Baby”: Lending some assistance on this album is the holiday-loving Buble, Cee Lo Green and the late Ella Fitzgerald.
Nov. 6
Watch for: Aerosmith, “Music from Another Dimension!” The first studio album in 11 years for the rock ’n’ roll staples didn’t coalesce in time for the band’s summer tour — but what’s a few months later after 11 years?
Watch for: One Direction, “Take Me Home”: “If only,” millions of young female fans must be thinking. The next best thing will be this British boy band’s sure-to-be-huge sophomore album. Also out: OneRepublic is supposed to release a new album whose title is to be determined (maybe Tulsa native Ryan Tedder’s soft-rock band will do some decent touring this time out) … Aaron Lewis from hard-rock’s Staind goes solo country for “The Road” … Will Soundgarden’s long-delayed first album since 1996 actually come out on this date?
Nov. 20
Watch for: Graham Parker & the Rumour, “Three Chords Good”: The British rock band, active in the late ‘70s, is releasing its first album in 31 years.
Nov. 27
Watch for: Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”: Keys recorded “Fire” in New York, London and Jamaica and let her husband, Swizz Beatz, handle production duties. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
Oct. 2 Watch for: Blake Shelton, “Cheers It’s Christmas”: The Oklahoma country star and “Voice” coach gets into the holiday spirit early with some help from his wife Miranda Lambert, fellow Oklahoman Reba McEntire, crooner Michael Buble, and even his own mama, Dorothy Shackleford. Muse, “The 2nd Law”: Fans got a taste of the bombastic rock act’s new album when single “Survival” became the official anthem of the London Olympic Games. Also out: Australian teen singer Cody Simpson will be taking girls to “Paradise” ... If the previous 33 albums weren’t enough indication, blue-eyed soul singer Van Morrison is declaring with his 34th that he was “Born to Sing: No Plan B” … Take heart, Heart fans: the rock band’s got a new one just for you, “Fanatic” … Papa Roach survives with “The Connection” … Indie pop duo Matt and Kim attempt to create some “Lightning” in a bottle … Folk group the Mountain Goats seek “Transcendental Youth.”
Oct. 9 Watch for: Ellie Goulding, “Halcyon”: Single “Lights” has been burning brightly in the States for William and Kate’s wedding singer, which bodes well for the her sophomore album. The Script, “#3”: The Script didn’t have to wait three albums to charm listeners; the Irish groupfound success with single “Breakeven” and sophomore album, 2010’s “Science & Faith.” Also out: Oklahoma’s own Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, 74, still has some “Unfinished Business” with producer Justin Townes Earle … Eagles ex-guitarist Don Felder releases “Road to Forever,” his first solo album in nearly three decades … Indie rock supergroup Bad Books, featuring Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra, drops its second album, “II” … Up-and-coming EDM artist Zedd looks for “Clarity” … rapper Xzibit loves the smell of “Napalm” … Just in time for the apocalypse, Rick Springfield releases “Songs for the End of the World.”
Oct. 16

Matthews heads ‘Away From the World’ BY RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Dave Matthews needed a break. His famously hardworking band took last year off and Matthews says he’s planning to scale back future summer tours to spend more time with his wife and three children. Still, Matthews didn’t want to give himself too much free time. The band reunited early this year with “Crash” and “Before These Crowded Streets” producer Steve Lillywhite, originally planning to record studio versions of older tunes from live performances. Matthews decided instead to pen and record all new songs, with lyrics about love, lust, aging and activism laid over his three bandmates’ recognizably comfortable-yet-funky musical bed. The result, “Away From the World,” follows the critical and commercial success of 2009’s “Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King”: 1.2 million copies sold and an album of the year Grammy nomination. The latest album, out Tuesday, “has a smaller poignance for me,” the South African-born musician said in an interview. “It’s not a wave the way the other one was, but it has a more personal quality to it for me.” Clearly proud of his latest at-

CeeLo says Christmas album is ‘the real deal’

LOS ANGELES — Just call CeeLo Green music’s newest Santa Claus. The 38-year-old singerrapper is working on a Christmas album that he promises is “the real deal.” Green said in a recent interview that the album, “CeeLo’s Magic Moment,” is a “soulful take on a host of Christmas classics.” Among the tunes to be included on the Elektra
Records album are “Silent Night,” “The Christmas Song,” “This Christmas,” “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “White Christmas.” Rod Stewart, B.o.B. and Straight No Chaser are among the featured artists. The album will be released Oct. 30. The “Forget You!” singer is back this week as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” which began its third season with a three-night premiere Monday through Wednesday.
children, growing old and God. Q: How was your break from touring last year? Did it accomplish what you’d hoped? A: It was good. It forced me to
realign things. There was a momentum that had built up over the years that I sort of didn’t feel I had any say. I wanted to stop. So we did. It wasn’t like I went to Outer Mongolia and stared at the stars, which I sort of fantasized about doing. But I think it was good for very personal reasons. Q: Who did you spend time with? A: I spent most of my time with my family. We traveled a bit. I think I will (take a break) every year because it made a big difference to have time with my kids. I like working. But it seems like there’s a shift and I had to make that shift apparent to myself and everyone around me with my kids. I feel really important around them. Because I like to feel important. I feel like I make a difference, for better or for worse, when I’m around them. Q: Are they into music? A: Yeah. In all different ways. My girls are 11 so they’re fans of music. At the moment I think they like my music. They’ve got their own things they’re into as well (Beyonce, Taylor Swift). I don’t care what they listen to. My son, he’s pretty heartfelt. He’s 5 now. He’s sort of more of a thrasher. He likes Iron Maiden and he likes Black Sabbath. Mainly I think because of ‘Iron Man.’ This year was the first year I took my girls on the road with
me with no one else, which was nice. I just hang out with them all the time. Then I also end up seeing the cities I’m in — in a much more thorough way. It’s good fun to host a party with my daughters. Q: You recorded this album much quicker than the last album — a few weeks in the studio versus many months. How were you thinking about following up “Big Whiskey”? A: There was so much that happened in the last record. Roi (Moore) died in the middle of it so it had a different focus. The last album incorporated a lot of mourning with the death of our bandmate. I can’t compare the two: apples and oranges. But this album, it was a very refreshing process. And it was interesting to go back with Steve Lillywhite and be old men together. Q: It sounds from the album like you’re thinking quite a bit about growing old. A: I’m partly obsessed by aging gracefully. Not that I believe in God. I use God in my songs a lot but I don’t have a relationship. I don’t know what that means. But my sister said, ‘You age gracefully so you find out what God wanted you to look like when you’re old.’ I kind of like that idea. But I like the wrinkles. I woke up three days ago and I thought, ‘In 15 years I’m going to be 60.’ Wow, that’s pretty soon.

Fall finds time for plenty of new music Nov. 13
BY PIET LEVY Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With so many highlyanticipated albums this fall, it can all be pretty overwhelming, but this handy guide, covering significant releases through November, will help you make sense of it all.
Released Tuesday
Bob Dylan, “Tempest”: The Bard recorded his first studio album 50 years ago. On Tuesday, he delivered his 35th studio album, handling the production duties himself as Jack Frost. The celebration continues during a fall tour with Mark Knopfler. Dave Matthews Band, “Away from the World”: North America’s highest grossing touring act of the last decade is collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 14 years. Also out: David Byrne and Tulsa native St. Vincent are an odd couple on the horn-heavy “Love This Giant” … Americana act the Avett Brothers nailed down “The Carpenter” with mega-producer Rick Rubin … Rubin also had a hand in ZZ Top’s “La Futura,” the Southern rock trio’s first studio album in nine years … Latinflavored Calexico travels to “Algiers” … After a Spanish-language detour with 2009’s “Mi Plan,” Nelly Furtado returns to the dance floor with “The Spirit Indestructible” … Florida rock band miggs looks for new fans at the corner of “15th & Hope” … the xx try to hit audiophiles’ sweet spot with their sophomore album “Coexist.”
Tuesday Watch for: P!nk, “The Truth About Love”: The gritty pop star released “Greatest Hits … So Far!!!” in 2010 and seems to be building content for the sequel; “Love” single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has seen a lot of love on the charts. Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music, “Cruel Summer”: Yeezy’s boundary-pushing hip-hop is typically a hit in any season. Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz join in the good vibes. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Kiss”: Peppy dance-pop track “Call Me Maybe” definitely became the biggest song of the summer. Also out: White-hot rapper Wiz Khalifa comes back with “O.N.I.F.C.” … Killers fans, prepare for “Battle Born,” the alt-rock band’s latest … Band of Horses saddled up with legendary rock producer Glyn Johns for “Mirage Rock” … Critically acclaimed indie pop band Grizzly Bear follows up its 2009 surprise commercial hit “Veckatimest” with “Shields” … Little Big Town will try to rip through the country charts like a “Tornado” … Rockoriented singer-songwriter Aimee Mann should be a “Charmer” with critics … Smooth R&B crooner Ne-Yo drops “R.E.D.,” not to be confused with Taylor Swift’s “Red” out a month later … Dwight Yoakam fans have waited seven years for new album “3 Pears” … Ben Folds Five is back together for its first piano-pop album in 13 years, “The Sound of the Life of the Mind.”
Sept. 25 Watch for: Mumford & Sons, “Babel”: If an act could take credit for the Americana boom, it would be this band from across the pond, whose debut, “Sigh No More,” has sold 2.4 million copies in the U.S. No Doubt, “Push and Shove”: With singer Gwen Stefani finding success as a pop artist, it seemed doubtful the reggae/ punk band would ever release another album. But a reunion tour got the creative juices flowing again. Green Day, “!Uno!”: Instead of following up 2009’s “21st Century
Breakdown” with one more album, the poppunk trio is releasing three. Guess what the other two are called. Also out: Electronic dance music superstar deadmau5 wins the award for fall’s most original album title with “” … Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco isn’t aiming for humility with “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1” … Indybased indie rock band Hero Jr. unveils its “Backup Plan” … Rapper Talib Kweli becomes a “Prisoner of Conscience” … John Hiatt plays a game of “Mystic Pinball” … “Yokokimthurston” is a collaboration between Yoko Ono, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore … Pete Seeger, 93, finds “A More Perfect Union” with guests Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris.
Also out: “Monster” is a subtle title for one of rock’s most excessive bands, Kiss ... It’s a good day for jam band fans, with albums from Phish’s Trey Anastasio (“Traveler”) and Widespread Panic (“Wood”) … Like her brother Rufus, Martha Wainwright has turned to her late mother, Kate McGarrigle, for inspiration with “Come Home to Mama” … Singer-songwriter Ben Harper is asking for fans to be “By My Side” … Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard goes solo for “Former Lives.”
Oct. 23
Watch for: Taylor Swift, “Red”: First single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” shot to No.
1. Unlike her 2010 smash “Speak Now,” Swift shared songwriting duties this time, including a track cowritten with rising British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Also out: Gary Clark Jr. has been getting buzz and drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan leading up to this yet-untitled LP … Texas alt-rock band … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead hopes people will find its “Lost Songs” … Just in time for Halloween, singer-songwriter Bat for Lashes reveals “The Haunted Man” … The Sword wields a heavy rock sound once again with “Apocryphon” … Shiny Toy Guns, which has Shawnee ties, is back with original female vocal-
ist Carah Faye Charnow for “III” … Dallas psychedelic pop group the Polyphonic Spree offers “Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays Volume One.”
Oct 30
Watch for: Rod Stewart, “Merry Christmas, Baby”: Lending some assistance on this album is the holiday-loving Buble, Cee Lo Green and the late Ella Fitzgerald.
Nov. 6
Watch for: Aerosmith, “Music from Another Dimension!” The first studio album in 11 years for the rock ’n’ roll staples didn’t coalesce in time for the band’s summer tour — but what’s a few months later after 11 years?
Watch for: One Direction, “Take Me Home”: “If only,” millions of young female fans must be thinking. The next best thing will be this British boy band’s sure-to-be-huge sophomore album. Also out: OneRepublic is supposed to release a new album whose title is to be determined (maybe Tulsa native Ryan Tedder’s soft-rock band will do some decent touring this time out) … Aaron Lewis from hard-rock’s Staind goes solo country for “The Road” … Will Soundgarden’s long-delayed first album since 1996 actually come out on this date?
Nov. 20
Watch for: Graham Parker & the Rumour, “Three Chords Good”: The British rock band, active in the late ‘70s, is releasing its first album in 31 years.
Nov. 27
Watch for: Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”: Keys recorded “Fire” in New York, London and Jamaica and let her husband, Swizz Beatz, handle production duties. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
Oct. 2 Watch for: Blake Shelton, “Cheers It’s Christmas”: The Oklahoma country star and “Voice” coach gets into the holiday spirit early with some help from his wife Miranda Lambert, fellow Oklahoman Reba McEntire, crooner Michael Buble, and even his own mama, Dorothy Shackleford. Muse, “The 2nd Law”: Fans got a taste of the bombastic rock act’s new album when single “Survival” became the official anthem of the London Olympic Games. Also out: Australian teen singer Cody Simpson will be taking girls to “Paradise” ... If the previous 33 albums weren’t enough indication, blue-eyed soul singer Van Morrison is declaring with his 34th that he was “Born to Sing: No Plan B” … Take heart, Heart fans: the rock band’s got a new one just for you, “Fanatic” … Papa Roach survives with “The Connection” … Indie pop duo Matt and Kim attempt to create some “Lightning” in a bottle … Folk group the Mountain Goats seek “Transcendental Youth.”
Oct. 9 Watch for: Ellie Goulding, “Halcyon”: Single “Lights” has been burning brightly in the States for William and Kate’s wedding singer, which bodes well for the her sophomore album. The Script, “#3”: The Script didn’t have to wait three albums to charm listeners; the Irish groupfound success with single “Breakeven” and sophomore album, 2010’s “Science & Faith.” Also out: Oklahoma’s own Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, 74, still has some “Unfinished Business” with producer Justin Townes Earle … Eagles ex-guitarist Don Felder releases “Road to Forever,” his first solo album in nearly three decades … Indie rock supergroup Bad Books, featuring Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra, drops its second album, “II” … Up-and-coming EDM artist Zedd looks for “Clarity” … rapper Xzibit loves the smell of “Napalm” … Just in time for the apocalypse, Rick Springfield releases “Songs for the End of the World.”
Oct. 16
Watch for: Jason Aldean, “Night Train”: Lead single “Take a Little Ride” marked the best first-week singles ever from a male country solo act, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Band may ‘Push and Shove’ its way back to the top BY RANDY LEWIS Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A couple of big questions loom before the members of longrunning rock group No Doubt as they prepare to re-enter the fray of contemporary pop music with their first new album in 11 years, “Push and Shove”: Does the world even remember who they are and, if so, does it still care? “Where do we fit in?” bleach-blond-Mohawkcoiffed drummer Adrian Young, 43, asked during a break in rehearsals recently in Hollywood ahead of a string of high-profile TV appearances the group is making in coming weeks. “I still don’t know. (The first single) ‘Settle Down’ is on the radio right now, but I don’t know where this album is going to fit in. It may carve its own niche.” Singer Gwen Stefani took an even more pragmatic view of the question: “Where did we ever fit in?” That realization spurred frontwoman, main songwriter, fashion designer, cover girl, celebrity mom and solo pop star Stefani to embrace a Zen-like attitude while working for the last 2½ years with her longtime cohorts on the album they’ll present to the world on Sept. 25. “It wasn’t like we were trying for anything more than just to enjoy the moment, and to be in the moment,” said Stefani, 42, looking like, well, the rock star she is in a monochromatic black, asymmetrical-collared jacket, white tank top, trim slacks and four-inch silver stiletto heels, her blond hair pulled back in an anarchic ponytail, one small perfect wave curled above her right ear. “It took so long,” she said. “If we were just waiting for it to be done, it would have been a waste of life.” To almost any other act, an 11-year gap between albums would constitute several lifetimes outside the fast-churn world of pop music. But No Doubt has remained committedly resilient through a 25-year career that produced one of the cornerstone pop albums of the 1990s in “Tragic Kingdom.” It spent nine weeks at No. 1, and spawned one of the defining singles of the era, “Don’t Speak,” Stefani’s soaring ballad about the dissolution of her sevenyear romance with the band’s bassist, Tony Kanal. “That’s the story of No Doubt,” said Kanal, 42, as he sat across from Stefani. They co-wrote all the lyrics for the new songs — a first in the still-evolving musical partnership that long ago transcended their romantic relationship. “Through all the tough stuff we’ve gone through — and you can name 50 things — we’ve always persevered. And through all those obstacles — it sounds really cliche to say it — but we’ve always

come out stronger.” Is it possible, though, for a band that’s been around this long to exert a significant influence in a world now dominated by the frothy youth pop of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and “American Idol” — none of which existed when No Doubt got started? In that regard, No Doubt is virtually unique. “We don’t feel like they’ve ever left, because Gwen is in the forefront of pop culture,” said John Ivey, program director at Southern California Top 40 radio powerhouse KIIS-FM. “With her and Gavin (Rossdale, Stefani’s rockstar husband) and the babies, her (product) endorsements, her clothing line: When you have all that other stuff going for you and your brand is so big, you can be a little bit slower in putting out your music.” Pop radio isn’t the only place where No Doubt is still generating interest this far down the line: The NFL featured the group during the kickoff game for the 2012 football season, the band performed in July on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” it will launch the two-day I Heart Radio Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 21 and will visit “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” the week the album drops. It’s also playing six shows Nov. 24 to Dec. 4 at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The album features a cadre of au courant programmers including Anthony Gorry, Jonas Quant and Wayne Wilkins, and Major Lazer and Busy Signal on the title track. The guest talent helps bolster the album’s broad stylistic range — from driving electronic dance music (“Looking Hot”) and dreamy synth-pop (“One More Summer”) to romantically yearning dance hall reggae (“Sparkle”) and melancholy dance pop (“Undercover”) echoing No Doubt’s earliest efforts. “We wanted it to sound modern,” guitarist Tom
Dumont, 44, said, “but we’ve openly said the album is really made up of influences of things we grew up with. … It opens the question of what is modern? When I hear ‘Settle Down’ on the radio, it still doesn’t sound like anything else.” MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Fall finds time for plenty of new music Nov. 13
BY PIET LEVY Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With so many highlyanticipated albums this fall, it can all be pretty overwhelming, but this handy guide, covering significant releases through November, will help you make sense of it all.
Released Tuesday
Bob Dylan, “Tempest”: The Bard recorded his first studio album 50 years ago. On Tuesday, he delivered his 35th studio album, handling the production duties himself as Jack Frost. The celebration continues during a fall tour with Mark Knopfler. Dave Matthews Band, “Away from the World”: North America’s highest grossing touring act of the last decade is collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 14 years. Also out: David Byrne and Tulsa native St. Vincent are an odd couple on the horn-heavy “Love This Giant” … Americana act the Avett Brothers nailed down “The Carpenter” with mega-producer Rick Rubin … Rubin also had a hand in ZZ Top’s “La Futura,” the Southern rock trio’s first studio album in nine years … Latinflavored Calexico travels to “Algiers” … After a Spanish-language detour with 2009’s “Mi Plan,” Nelly Furtado returns to the dance floor with “The Spirit Indestructible” … Florida rock band miggs looks for new fans at the corner of “15th & Hope” … the xx try to hit audiophiles’ sweet spot with their sophomore album “Coexist.”
Tuesday Watch for: P!nk, “The Truth About Love”: The gritty pop star released “Greatest Hits … So Far!!!” in 2010 and seems to be building content for the sequel; “Love” single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has seen a lot of love on the charts. Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music, “Cruel Summer”: Yeezy’s boundary-pushing hip-hop is typically a hit in any season. Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz join in the good vibes. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Kiss”: Peppy dance-pop track “Call Me Maybe” definitely became the biggest song of the summer. Also out: White-hot rapper Wiz Khalifa comes back with “O.N.I.F.C.” … Killers fans, prepare for “Battle Born,” the alt-rock band’s latest … Band of Horses saddled up with legendary rock producer Glyn Johns for “Mirage Rock” … Critically acclaimed indie pop band Grizzly Bear follows up its 2009 surprise commercial hit “Veckatimest” with “Shields” … Little Big Town will try to rip through the country charts like a “Tornado” … Rockoriented singer-songwriter Aimee Mann should be a “Charmer” with critics … Smooth R&B crooner Ne-Yo drops “R.E.D.,” not to be confused with Taylor Swift’s “Red” out a month later … Dwight Yoakam fans have waited seven years for new album “3 Pears” … Ben Folds Five is back together for its first piano-pop album in 13 years, “The Sound of the Life of the Mind.”
Sept. 25 Watch for: Mumford & Sons, “Babel”: If an act could take credit for the Americana boom, it would be this band from across the pond, whose debut, “Sigh No More,” has sold 2.4 million copies in the U.S. No Doubt, “Push and Shove”: With singer Gwen Stefani finding success as a pop artist, it seemed doubtful the reggae/ punk band would ever release another album. But a reunion tour got the creative juices flowing again. Green Day, “!Uno!”: Instead of following up 2009’s “21st Century
Breakdown” with one more album, the poppunk trio is releasing three. Guess what the other two are called. Also out: Electronic dance music superstar deadmau5 wins the award for fall’s most original album title with “” … Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco isn’t aiming for humility with “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1” … Indybased indie rock band Hero Jr. unveils its “Backup Plan” … Rapper Talib Kweli becomes a “Prisoner of Conscience” … John Hiatt plays a game of “Mystic Pinball” … “Yokokimthurston” is a collaboration between Yoko Ono, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore … Pete Seeger, 93, finds “A More Perfect Union” with guests Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris.
Also out: “Monster” is a subtle title for one of rock’s most excessive bands, Kiss ... It’s a good day for jam band fans, with albums from Phish’s Trey Anastasio (“Traveler”) and Widespread Panic (“Wood”) … Like her brother Rufus, Martha Wainwright has turned to her late mother, Kate McGarrigle, for inspiration with “Come Home to Mama” … Singer-songwriter Ben Harper is asking for fans to be “By My Side” … Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard goes solo for “Former Lives.”
Oct. 23
Watch for: Taylor Swift, “Red”: First single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” shot to No.
1. Unlike her 2010 smash “Speak Now,” Swift shared songwriting duties this time, including a track cowritten with rising British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Also out: Gary Clark Jr. has been getting buzz and drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan leading up to this yet-untitled LP … Texas alt-rock band … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead hopes people will find its “Lost Songs” … Just in time for Halloween, singer-songwriter Bat for Lashes reveals “The Haunted Man” … The Sword wields a heavy rock sound once again with “Apocryphon” … Shiny Toy Guns, which has Shawnee ties, is back with original female vocal-
ist Carah Faye Charnow for “III” … Dallas psychedelic pop group the Polyphonic Spree offers “Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays Volume One.”
Oct 30
Watch for: Rod Stewart, “Merry Christmas, Baby”: Lending some assistance on this album is the holiday-loving Buble, Cee Lo Green and the late Ella Fitzgerald.
Nov. 6
Watch for: Aerosmith, “Music from Another Dimension!” The first studio album in 11 years for the rock ’n’ roll staples didn’t coalesce in time for the band’s summer tour — but what’s a few months later after 11 years?
Watch for: One Direction, “Take Me Home”: “If only,” millions of young female fans must be thinking. The next best thing will be this British boy band’s sure-to-be-huge sophomore album. Also out: OneRepublic is supposed to release a new album whose title is to be determined (maybe Tulsa native Ryan Tedder’s soft-rock band will do some decent touring this time out) … Aaron Lewis from hard-rock’s Staind goes solo country for “The Road” … Will Soundgarden’s long-delayed first album since 1996 actually come out on this date?
Nov. 20
Watch for: Graham Parker & the Rumour, “Three Chords Good”: The British rock band, active in the late ‘70s, is releasing its first album in 31 years.
Nov. 27
Watch for: Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”: Keys recorded “Fire” in New York, London and Jamaica and let her husband, Swizz Beatz, handle production duties. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
Oct. 2 Watch for: Blake Shelton, “Cheers It’s Christmas”: The Oklahoma country star and “Voice” coach gets into the holiday spirit early with some help from his wife Miranda Lambert, fellow Oklahoman Reba McEntire, crooner Michael Buble, and even his own mama, Dorothy Shackleford. Muse, “The 2nd Law”: Fans got a taste of the bombastic rock act’s new album when single “Survival” became the official anthem of the London Olympic Games. Also out: Australian teen singer Cody Simpson will be taking girls to “Paradise” ... If the previous 33 albums weren’t enough indication, blue-eyed soul singer Van Morrison is declaring with his 34th that he was “Born to Sing: No Plan B” … Take heart, Heart fans: the rock band’s got a new one just for you, “Fanatic” … Papa Roach survives with “The Connection” … Indie pop duo Matt and Kim attempt to create some “Lightning” in a bottle … Folk group the Mountain Goats seek “Transcendental Youth.”
Oct. 9 Watch for: Ellie Goulding, “Halcyon”: Single “Lights” has been burning brightly in the States for William and Kate’s wedding singer, which bodes well for the her sophomore album. The Script, “#3”: The Script didn’t have to wait three albums to charm listeners; the Irish groupfound success with single “Breakeven” and sophomore album, 2010’s “Science & Faith.” Also out: Oklahoma’s own Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, 74, still has some “Unfinished Business” with producer Justin Townes Earle … Eagles ex-guitarist Don Felder releases “Road to Forever,” his first solo album in nearly three decades … Indie rock supergroup Bad Books, featuring Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra, drops its second album, “II” … Up-and-coming EDM artist Zedd looks for “Clarity” … rapper Xzibit loves the smell of “Napalm” … Just in time for the apocalypse, Rick Springfield releases “Songs for the End of the World.”
Oct. 16
Watch for: Jason Aldean, “Night Train”: Lead single “Take a Little Ride” marked the best first-week singles ever from a male country solo act, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Band may ‘Push and Shove’ its way back to the top BY RANDY LEWIS Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A couple of big questions loom before the members of longrunning rock group No Doubt as they prepare to re-enter the fray of contemporary pop music with their first new album in 11 years, “Push and Shove”: Does the world even remember who they are and, if so, does it still care? “Where do we fit in?” bleach-blondMohawk-coiffed drummer Adrian Young, 43, asked during a break in rehearsals recently in Hollywood ahead of a string of high-profile TV appearances the group is making in coming weeks. “I still don’t know. (The first single) ‘Settle Down’ is on the radio right now, but I don’t know where this album is going to fit in. It may carve its own niche.” Singer Gwen Stefani took an even more pragmatic view of the question: “Where did we ever fit in?” That realization spurred frontwoman, main songwriter, fashion designer, cover girl, celebrity mom and solo pop star Stefani to embrace a Zen-like attitude while working for the last 2½ years with her longtime cohorts on the album they’ll present to the world on Sept. 25. “It wasn’t like we were trying for anything more than just to enjoy the moment, and to be in the moment,” said Stefani, 42, looking like, well, the rock star she is in a monochromatic black, asymmetrical-collared jacket, white tank top, trim slacks and four-inch silver stiletto heels, her blond hair pulled back in an anarchic ponytail, one small perfect wave curled above her right ear. “It took so long,” she said. “If we were just waiting for it to be done, it would have been a waste of life.” To almost any other act, an 11-year gap between albums would constitute several lifetimes outside the fast-churn world of pop music. But No Doubt has remained committedly resilient through a 25-year career that produced one of the cornerstone pop albums of the 1990s in “Tragic Kingdom.” It spent nine weeks at No. 1, and spawned one of the defining singles of the era, “Don’t Speak,” Stefani’s soaring ballad about the dissolution of her sevenyear romance with the band’s bassist, Tony Kanal. “That’s the story of No Doubt,” said Kanal, 42, as he sat across from Stefani. They co-wrote all the lyrics for the new songs — a first in the still-evolving musi-

cal partnership that long ago transcended their romantic relationship. “Through all the tough stuff we’ve gone through — and you can name 50 things — we’ve always persevered. And through all those obstacles — it sounds really cliche to say it — but we’ve always come out stronger.” Is it possible, though, for a band that’s been around this long to exert a significant influence in a world now dominated by the frothy youth pop of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and “American Idol” — none of which existed when No Doubt got started? In that regard, No Doubt is virtually unique. “We don’t feel like they’ve ever left, because Gwen is in the forefront of pop culture,” said John Ivey, program director at Southern California Top 40 radio powerhouse KIIS-FM. Pop radio isn’t the only place where No Doubt is still generating interest this far down the line: The NFL featured the group during the kickoff game for the 2012 football season, the band performed in July on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” it will launch the two-day I Heart Radio Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 21 and will visit “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” the week the album drops. It’s also playing six shows Nov. 24 to Dec. 4 at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Matthews heads ‘Away From the World’ BY RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Dave Matthews needed a break. His famously hardworking band took last year off and Matthews says he’s planning to scale back future summer tours to spend more time with his wife and three children. Still, Matthews didn’t want to give himself too much free time. The band reunited early this year with “Crash” and “Before These Crowded Streets” producer Steve Lillywhite, originally planning to record studio versions of older tunes from live performances. Matthews decided instead to pen and record all new songs, with lyrics about love, lust, aging and activism laid over his three bandmates’ recognizably comfortable-yet-funky musical bed. The result, “Away From the World,” follows the critical and commercial success of 2009’s “Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King”: 1.2 million copies sold and an album of the year Grammy nomination. The latest album, out Tuesday, “has a smaller poignance for me,” the South African-born musician said in an interview. “It’s not a wave the way the other one was, but it has a more personal quality to it for me.” Clearly proud of his latest at-

CeeLo says Christmas album is ‘the real deal’ BY LYNN ELBER AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Just call CeeLo Green music’s newest Santa Claus. The 38-year-old singerrapper is working on a Christmas album that he promises is “the real deal.” Green said in a recent interview that the album, “CeeLo’s Magic Moment,” is a “soulful take on a host of Christmas classics.” Among the tunes to be included on the Elektra
Records album are “Silent Night,” “The Christmas Song,” “This Christmas,” “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “White Christmas.” Rod Stewart, B.o.B. and Straight No Chaser are among the featured artists. The album will be released Oct. 30. The “Forget You!” singer is back this week as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” which began its third season with a three-night premiere Monday through Wednesday.
children, growing old and God. Q: How was your break from touring last year? Did it accomplish what you’d hoped? A: It was good. It forced me to
realign things. There was a momentum that had built up over the years that I sort of didn’t feel I had any say. I wanted to stop. So we did. It wasn’t like I went to Outer Mongolia and stared at the stars, which I sort of fantasized about doing. But I think it was good for very personal reasons. Q: Who did you spend time with? A: I spent most of my time with my family. We traveled a bit. I think I will (take a break) every year because it made a big difference to have time with my kids. I like working. But it seems like there’s a shift and I had to make that shift apparent to myself and everyone around me with my kids. I feel really important around them. Because I like to feel important. I feel like I make a difference, for better or for worse, when I’m around them. Q: Are they into music? A: Yeah. In all different ways. My girls are 11 so they’re fans of music. At the moment I think they like my music. They’ve got their own things they’re into as well (Beyonce, Taylor Swift). I don’t care what they listen to. My son, he’s pretty heartfelt. He’s 5 now. He’s sort of more of a thrasher. He likes Iron Maiden and he likes Black Sabbath. Mainly I think because of ‘Iron Man.’ This year was the first year I took my girls on the road with
me with no one else, which was nice. I just hang out with them all the time. Then I also end up seeing the cities I’m in — in a much more thorough way. It’s good fun to host a party with my daughters. Q: You recorded this album much quicker than the last album — a few weeks in the studio versus many months. How were you thinking about following up “Big Whiskey”? A: There was so much that happened in the last record. Roi (Moore) died in the middle of it so it had a different focus. The last album incorporated a lot of mourning with the death of our bandmate. I can’t compare the two: apples and oranges. But this album, it was a very refreshing process. And it was interesting to go back with Steve Lillywhite and be old men together. Q: It sounds from the album like you’re thinking quite a bit about growing old. A: I’m partly obsessed by aging gracefully. Not that I believe in God. I use God in my songs a lot but I don’t have a relationship. I don’t know what that means. But my sister said, ‘You age gracefully so you find out what God wanted you to look like when you’re old.’ I kind of like that idea. But I like the wrinkles. I woke up three days ago and I thought, ‘In 15 years I’m going to be 60.’ Wow, that’s pretty soon.

Editor plays mysterious ‘big shot’ in ‘Arbitrage’ BY REBECCA KEEGAN Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter once wrote of JP Morgan Chase executive Jamie Dimon, “For a banker, he’s nice-looking. And he’s got that head of fluffy white, unbankerish hair.” In the new thriller “Arbitrage,” which opens Friday, Carter pays Dimon another kind of compliment — he plays him, more or less, in the role of a mysterious banker named James Mayfield. The feature directorial debut of documentarian and writer Nicholas Jarecki, “Arbitrage” follows hedge fund manager Robert Miller (Richard Gere) as he desperately tries to close a business deal and cover up a personal transgression. With Susan Sarandon as his wife, Laetitia Casta his mistress and Brit Marling his daughter and heir apparent at the family business, Gere’s character is juggling a string of lies. Throughout the film, his only hope, it seems, is to broker a deal with the elusive Mayfield. “I always knew it would be a great cameo part,” Jarecki said. “It’s like the Orson Welles part. They’re talking about him the whole movie. Where’s Mayfield? He walks in, and he’s automatically a big shot.” While researching his script for “Arbitrage,” Jarecki relied on a series of Vanity Fair articles about the financial downturn that had been collected into a 2010 book that Carter edited called “The Great Hangover.”
In casting the part of Mayfield, “We said, ‘Think big shot, money juggler, banking head, Mr. Big,’ ” Jarecki said. His producer, Laura Bickford, suggested Carter, with whom she had produced the 2007 political documentary “Chicago 10.” Carter, 63, has played small parts before in the movies “Alfie” and “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and produced a number of documentaries in between his other jobs — editing the monthly magazine and owning three Manhattan restaurants. “Immediately I was into the idea of casting Graydon ’cause he has such a striking, unique look,” Jarecki said. “He’s got the crazy hair and the cool, fashionforward glasses. He’s got that old-time look, like you’re going to see a cigarette drooping out of his mouth, and he has a wry cynicism and a bemused outlook.” During his key scene — a few tense moments opposite Gere at the bargaining table — Carter channeled his old subject, Dimon. He wore one of his own doublebreasted suits, styled his own fluffy white hair and delivered his lines slowly and deliberately. Acting, Carter said, “is a very pleasant break from my day job. You’re talking for a few minutes. It’s not like I’m doing stunts. I think I can manage that.” In addition to his acting, the editorrestaurateur brings other assets to a film. “I’m 98 percent sure Graydon’s hosting the premiere after-party at the Monkey Bar,” Jarecki said.

Starlets, causes come and go, but Susan Sarandon endures BY ROGER MOORE MCT Information Services
ORLANDO, Fla. — Susan Sarandon has always made it look so easy. Generations of actresses launch careers and then flame out. Sarandon, 65, “transitioned” — from ingenue to leading lady to strong female lead to “cougar” to stellar turns as moms. Others come and go, Sarandon reinvents herself and endures. “It’s just managing to get the part you need when you need it,” she said. “I just survived. I don’t understand how I’ve stuck around, and I have no idea what to say when people ask me how.” Mistakes or not, this Oscar winner has always cleverly picked, or lucked into, roles that gave her a fresh lease on movie life. While nobody plans a “cult hit” like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975), you’ve got to be a sharp cookie to see where “Pretty Baby” (1978) will take you. “Some of those parts, thanks to the directors of the movies, have managed to become kind of iconic — important parts in the Hollywood history of women,” Sarandon said. “But that has as much to do with the zeitgeist of the moment as with me. Even ‘Pretty Baby’ hit at a time when child prostitution was in the headlines and very much on the culture’s mind.” Take “Arbitrage,” her latest. She plays the wife of a Wall Street hedge fund baron (Richard Gere) who has hidden an affair and vast financial wrongdoing from her. Melodramatic touches aside, it’s a movie ripped from recent headlines. “I feel a little bit like Ze-
Susan Sarandon
lig,” Sarandon said, referencing Woody Allen’s 1980s film about a man with the ability to blend into disparate situations, always on the cutting edge of history. “These films, a number of them, seemed to slip right into the consciousness of that moment in time. And when I went to London to do ‘The Hunger’ (1983), I met (director) Tony Scott, and all these great English actors Americans hadn’t heard of yet. “When we did ‘Thelma & Louise’ (1991), we had no idea it was going to be that big of a deal. It was just a cowboy movie with girls and cars instead of horses and guys. We knew it would be fun, and Ridley Scott (Tony’s brother) was a fabulous director. But it caught a wave.” And “Arbitrage,” she thinks, has wave-catching potential. “No one ever gets punished anymore for wrecking the economy. They never get in trouble, not when they’re this rich. What’s different about this film, as opposed to the other movies and documentaries I’ve seen about Wall Street people, addicted to power, gambling billions with the
prospect of ruining everyone else’s livelihood, is the family side of it. You get to see how this behavior impacts their family, the wife, the daughter who went into dad’s business and was betrayed.” Rising star Brit Marling (“Sound of My Voice”) plays Sarandon’s character’s daughter in “Arbitrage,” and marvels at this “force of nature” she got to share scenes with: “The test of any scene with any actor is ‘How much can you live in this imaginary reality?’ Are you there 50 percent, 60 percent? Acting with Susan, who is so ‘there,’ so present and her character is so crackling with life that if anything is distracting you in the least, just looking at her will pull you right back into the moment.” Sarandon shrugs off such praise. “Actors should just act, do what’s fun, do stage, TV, film, whatever interests you. You can’t be cowed by the idea that ‘You can’t play a mother. It ruins your sexuality, your sex appeal.’ When you see yourself as a character actor, it’s easy to see yourself as Jason Segel’s mom or Richard Gere’s wife. You bop in, have some fun with it, and bop out.” She will next co-star with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving and Jim Broadbent in the Wachowski siblings’ (“The Matrix” movies) and Tom Tykwer’s (“Run Lola Run”) adaptation of British author David Mitchell’s award-winning sci-fi novel that explores how individuals’ actions affect the lives of others across the past, present and future.
PHILADELPHIA — “You’re in my hometown,” said Richard Gere, calling Philadelphia from New York to talk about his perfectly timed financial-world thriller, “Arbitrage.” “Not that I’ve seen it much since I left, when I was 1.” His parents were students at the University of Pennsylvania, “just finishing up their college careers there,” Gere said. “They came from a very small town in northeastern Pennsylvania — Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, like the borough.” That was long ago — 1949, to be exact. When Homer and Doris Gere graduated, they moved to upstate New York, where little Richard grew up, passionate about music, gymnastics, and then, in his late teens, about acting. “Arbitrage,” written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki, youngest brother of filmmaking siblings Andrew (“All Good Things,” “Capturing the Friedmans”) and Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight”), is Gere’s 43rd motion picture. His career includes the box-office hits “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Pretty Woman” and “Chicago.” “It’s not the same every time, it’s never the same,” said Gere — who lives with his wife, actress Carey Lowell, and their son, north of New York City — in explaining the criteria he uses to decide which movies he’ll make and which he’ll pass on. “With any project, there’s a lot of empirical stuff. Is the script good? Is the part something that touches me? Is it worth

putting this much energy in? Is there a reason for it to exist? “But then, there is some kind of a voodoo that maybe is not rational. Whether or not you want to do it. And I suppose that’s in the falling-in-love area. “There might be a reason to say ‘yes’ to a movie — all the right reasons — but the I’m-in-love factor is not there.” “Arbitrage” definitely had that falling-in-love factor going. Gere’s character, Robert Miller, is a billionaire hedge funder living in a stately Manhattan mansion with his philanthropist wife (played by Susan Sarandon), while their grown daughter (“Another Earth’s” Brit Marling) helps run his company. But while the spreadsheets say Miller’s operation is thriving, he knows it’s not. He’s cooked the books, jeopardizing everything — his family’s financial well-being, his reputation, his clients’ investments. Desperately trying to sell the company before he’s found out, Miller faces another crisis when he drives off into the country late at night with
his mistress (the French model Laetitia Casta). Tim Roth, doing a kind of New York Columbo thing, is the cop on Gere’s trail. “It was about something meaningful that resonates in all of our lives right now,” Gere said, recalling his response when he first read Jarecki’s screenplay. “A couple of years ago, the archetype for my character would have been Bernie Madoff, but since then the taint has become more widespread, or at least more widely uncovered: the professionals, the academics, the heads of banks, the Jamie Dimons” — citing the chairman and chief executive officer of JP Morgan Chase and the controversy surrounding its investments. “What we wanted to do, and we were very clear and careful about this in the film, was not tell the story of a sociopath,” Gere said. “It’s a story of us. How we all, somehow, believe that we can make immoral, unethical decisions in one part of our life and believe that it doesn’t reverberate through the rest of our lives. There is no separation.” There has been talk of an Oscar nomination for Gere’s work in “Arbitrage,” and although the writing lets him down in a few places, it is among his most refined and quietly powerful turns. His character is about money and power and maintaining hold of material things — something far afield from Gere’s well-chronicled spiritual pursuits. The actor is a devoted Buddhist and one of the Dalai Lama’s highest-profile followers. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean director who won this year’s Golden Lion award for best movie at the Venice Film Festival expressed hope Tuesday that it will encourage theater owners who have shunned his works at home to screen more independent movies like his. “This prize was very important,” Kim Ki-duk told his first news conference after returning to South Korea. “I thought movie theater officials and theater owners will open their doors a little bit wider if I took this prize.” Kim’s “Pieta,” the brutal story of a debt collector who cripples those who can’t pay until he meets a woman who claims to be his mother, won the Golden Lion at the 69th Venice Film Festival on Saturday. While Kim has frequently been invited to international film festivals during his 16-year career, in South Korea his 17 previous movies saw little commercial success. Critics say his use of explicit violence and depiction of female characters as victims or subordinates to men also hurt efforts to draw audiences. A few big corporations known as chaebol dominate South Korea’s film industry — three controlled 83 percent of theaters in 2010 according to one estimate — leaving few screens for independent moviemakers. Some of Kim’s past movies played in fewer than five theaters. “Even a good-natured person will feel anger in this kind of unfair monopoly,” Kim said. Kim, 51, is seen as an outcast in South Korea’s film industry. He said he considered leaving for countries that welcomed his work.

Before writing his first movie script in his 30s,
Kim briefly studied religion, made a living as a street painter in France and enlisted in the South Korean military. Kim said he will not accept money from bigname investors even after winning the Golden Lion and will continue funding his movies from his own pockets or from profits from other movies. The budget for “Pieta” was 150 million won, or less than $140,000.

The actor is a devoted Buddhist and one of the Dalai Lama’s highestprofile followers. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Judges shine as the contestants falter BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Javier Colon’s family and friends were so excited when he won the first season of “The Voice,” they assured him that he was set for life — and famous. The 35-year-old musician knew better. “I never expected that I would be like the next Kelly Clarkson,” Colon said, referring to the superstar who got her start on “American Idol.” “Expectations and hopes are different things. Fortunately for me, I’ve had a lot of experience in the music business — some good ones and some not so good ones — that led me to auditioning for ‘The Voice.’ I’ve learned to just not expect much.” More than a year after his win, Colon is without a record contract and still trying to land a breakout hit on the charts. He is just one of the increasing number of singing contest winners who are struggling to find their way after TV success. Among the more recent “Idol” winners who have faltered after capturing the crown are David Cook and Kris Allen; and while runner-up status or even being a top finalist could lead to fame in the early seasons, like with Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry, prospects for non-winners have dropped so much that this year, “Idol” stopped offering second-place finishers a guaranteed recording contract. Last season’s “X Factor” winner Melanie Amaro’s debut single, released last month, hasn’t made much of a dent on radio (though her official album debut is in December), and there are concerns that the most recent “Voice” winner, Jermaine Paul, may end up

following the same path as Colon. It all points to a troubling trend for those who still believe in their original mission from the early days of reality TV. “That’s what the show, at the end of the day, was designed for,” said Simon Cowell, a judge and creative force on “American Idol” who has since moved to “The X Factor,” which debuts Wednesday on Fox. “Ratings are important, but if you’re not producing the goods year on year, then it’s sort of pointless making these shows.” At the same time, there’s been a noticeable shift in the competition shows’ focus. Once con-
tent with finding the next Mariah Carey, these days it’s more about … well, Mariah Carey. Far more ink has been spilled over the new “American Idol” judge’s eight-figure salary and the show’s revolving judging panel than on last year’s winner. And the ante is upped repeatedly as new shows pop up all over the television dial — each with its own star-laden list of mentors, coaches and judges. Over at “The Voice,” which also debuted this week, they’ve made changes for Season 3 they hope will help aspiring artists shine through. The NBC show has been popular and viewers love the chemistry among coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Oklahoma country star Blake Shelton. Yet the show hasn’t produced a breakout star, something producers hope will change now that they’ve altered some of the rules that led to quick eliminations. “It’s not that long of a season, so by the time we
get to the end it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, I don’t know who I like. It happened so fast,’ “ Shelton said. “And we do realize that the attention’s focused on us more than it needs to be. And the viewer … that’s the only thing they’ve had time to figure out because they’ve had sixty-something contestants to wade through.” Shelton and Levine have tried to extend the buzz for their contestants by taking them out on tour. And Green says he tries to stay in contact with each team member he’s had since “The Voice” shot to the top of ratings when it debuted last year. The flamboyant entertainer thinks the lack of post-competition star power might have something to do with the music industry itself. “It’s a genuine concern of mine, man, because I’m concerned about the industry at large, that it does not carry and develop more young talent,” Green said. “We’re talking about stars, sensations. I just don’t see those fireworks that once were. It’s not as
exciting. It’s not as plentiful.” Cowell argues you need more than star singers to anoint the next big talent. On “X Factor” Epic Records chairman/CEO L.A. Reid is as crucial as celebrity judges, which this year includes Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. Over at “Idol,” there’s a question about the status of Randy Jackson — the last link to the show’s original panel with Cowell and Paula Abdul. The rumored list of names who might replace outgoing stars Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler has included Nicki Minaj, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, not executives or producers. “I wouldn’t trust four singers on one of these shows,” Cowell said. “You’ve got to have record executives balanced with the artists. The artists give one perspective and the record label gives a completely different perspective.” As Colon predicted, the year since he won has been challenging. He asked out of his record contract with Universal Republic when he felt he wasn’t getting the necessary promotional push and support. But he recently wrapped a swing through South America with Maroon 5 at Levine’s invitation. And more important, he’s now able to draw several hundred out to a solo gig in North Dakota. “The Voice” didn’t give him stardom, but the wave of momentum from the show gave him a career. “My expectations going into the show were just, you know, I want this to be a good opportunity for me and good exposure and hopefully I’ll be in a better place than I was before the show started,” Colon said. “I’m definitely there and beyond that.”
Clive Davis
Music mogul to release biography BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press
NEW YORK — Music mogul Clive Davis will release an autobiography in February that will include “the excitements, the disappointments and the triumphs” of his career. The untitled book will be released through Simon & Schuster and will be written with music journalist Anthony DeCurtis. A news release says it will include “never-beforeheard tales” about Davis’ work with acts like Whitney Houston, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan. Financial terms were not disclosed for Davis’ deal, but an official with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal was worth seven figures. The official was not authorized to discuss the deal and asked not to be identified. Davis has helped the careers of many top musicians from Aretha Franklin to Billy Joel to Alicia Keys. The Harvard Law School graduate founded both Arista and J Records. He’s currently the COO of Sony Music and is working on Franklin’s new album and Houston’s forthcoming greatest hits set.
