building once used to temporarily house the College of Architecture during the construction of Gould Hall will soon be the home of a natural and organic foods chain store. Sprouts Farmers Market, a grocery store on Main Street that offers both natural and conventional grocery products, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. starting Wednesday. Ron Green, store director, said Sprouts offers natural and organic foods at conventional store pricing with a broad selection in several departments including meat, deli, produce, frozen food, spices, dairy and vitamins. The store features an in-store bakery, Boar’s Head meats and cheese, entrée ready-made options and chicken sausage, which is made daily, Green said. Sprouts will provide gluten-free foods and offer the best fruits and vegetables in town. SEE SPROUTS PAGE 2

Library opens learning, cuts costs Open education resources may cut student expenses EVAN BALDACCINI Campus Reporter
A new job position has been created in the library to make information readily available to students for free and help keep textbook costs down. The library is in the process of hiring an Open Education Resources Coordinator to help various departments find open education resources to develop open access textbooks. Providing open access to educational resources means removing barriers that might come between a student or faculty member and peer-reviewed journals or scholarly articles

Students can practice reading and writing in Arabic with a new magazine sponsored by OU’s Arabic Flagship Program. The magazine’s title is in Arabic, but roughly translates to “Oklahoma Magazine.” Each issue of the magazine will feature about eight to 10 articles written by students in Arabic pertaining to a wide variety of topics including social issues, video games and economic analysis of Egypt, said Chase Smithburg, coordinator for OU’s Arabic Flagship Program. There is also a section at the end of the magazine showcasing Arabic expressions that students find interesting. The sponsor of the publication is a merit-based undergraduate program designed for Arabic learners who want to achieve proficiency in the language while pursuing degrees in other majors, according to the Arabic Flagship Program’s website.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Computer networks at major South Korean banks and top TV broadcasters crashed simultaneously Wednesday, paralyzing bank machines across the country and prompting speculation of a cyberattack by North Korea. Screens went blank at 2 p.m. (0500 GMT), the stater u n Ko rea In f o r mat i o n Security Agency said, and more than six hours later some systems were still down. Police and South Korean officials couldn’t immediately determine responsibility, but some experts suspected a cyberattack orchestrated by Pyongyang. The rivals have exchanged threats amid joint U.S.South Korean military drills and in the wake of U.N. sanctions meant to punish North Korea over its nuclear test last month. The latest network paralysis took place just days after North Korea accused South Korea and the U.S. of staging a cyberattack that shut down its websites for two days last week. Loxley Pacific, the Thailand-based Internet service provider, confirmed the North Korean outage but did not say what caused it. The South Korean shutdown did not affect government agencies or potential targets such as power plants or transportation systems, and there were no immediate reports that bank customers’ records were compromised, but the disruption froze part of the country’s commerce. Some customers were

unable to use the debit or credit cards that many rely on more than cash. At one Starbucks in downtown Seoul, customers were asked to pay for their coffee in cash, and lines formed outside disabled bank machines. Shinhan Bank, a major South Korean lender, reported a two-hour system shutdown Wednesday, including online banking and automated teller machines. It said networks later came back online and that banking was back to normal. Shinhan said no customer records or accounts were compromised. Another big bank, Nonghyup, said its system eventually came back online. Officials didn’t answer a call seeking details on the safety of customer records. Jeju Bank said some of its

SPROUTS: Higher quality, lower price FLAGSHIP: Continued from page 1 Exclusive program Steve Black, chief information and marketing officer for Sprouts, said Sprouts — compared to other conventional grocery stores — offers a wider variety of organic items, more natural, organic meat items and a greater variety in the bulk department. There’s also a huge difference in Sprouts’ vitamins and supplements, with over 8,000 varieties, Black said. The market has several employees working in the natural vitamin section to help customers know what vitamins and supplements they need to take depending on their dietary needs. While there currently isn’t much produce being harvested locally, Black said when the season is right and the harvest is right, Sprouts will distribute local produce. For the most part, however, Sprouts’ distribution center in Texas — which buys its produce regionally — will provide the Norman Sprouts with produce, Black said. Sprouts distributes its own produce, so Norman costumers will notice very good prices, Black said. “We’re very competitive with our prices,” he said. Double Ad Wednesday, which provides customers with the opportunity to shop two ads at the same time, offers goods at prices that

aren’t really seen anywhere else, Black said. “We’ve waited a long time to open this store,” Green said, “We’re here for everyone’s needs and for those looking for a healthier lifestyle and a better quality of life.” Microbiology sophomore Shelby Thomas said she frequents the Sprouts in Fort Worth when she is home, and is looking forward to the store in Norman. “When I shop Sprouts at home they have really good sales and it’s really good compared to Wal-Mart or Target,” Thomas said. Prices aren’t the only thing that makes Sprouts superior, Black said. The produce is superior because it is grown in better soil and it doesn’t have chemicals that a lot of conventional grocery stores’
produce does. And although Sprouts is located on Main Street not far from Natural Grocers, Black said the company has found in their other markets that there is a widespread awareness of healthy eating habits, which means there’s e n ou g h bu s i n e s s t o g o around for all of the natural, organic grocers. The company is looking forward to the grand opening and knows it will be a good time, Green said. There will be some surprises for the first customers, including sacks of groceries and coupons for free sandwiches. The market wants to keep most of the surprises under wraps but people won’t want to miss it, Green said.
Continued from page 1 “The program is an initiative designed to give students a linguistics and cultural education,” Smithburg said. Only five universities in the U.S. have this program, and its overall goal is to create highly educated professionals well versed in the Arabic language, he said.

Get stung by a bee to help fight HIV
Y
ou might have Opinion COlumnist read all of the literature, you might have heard people talking about it, you might have also read The Daily’s coverage of Condom Week, but you still insist on unsafe sex Micah Wormley practices. You think using m.wormley@ou.edu a condom for HIV prevention is complicated, uncomfortable or expensive. There has to be a better way to solve the problem of HIV than the tried and true method of condom use. According to a report by Washington University in St. Louis, there just might be. Researchers are developing a vaginal gel, derived from bee venom, which could reduce the rate of initial HIV infection. “Bee venom contains a potent toxin called melittin that can poke holes in the protective envelope that surrounds HIV and of other viruses,” according to the report. The report also mentions melittin can cause cell damage, and the gel uses nanoparticles to prevent the toxin from damaging normal cells. You can take advantage of this curative property today. All you have to do is become a beekeeper. While there are a wide variety of resources for the intrepid beekeeper, including articles, books and newsletters, none are written in such a way as to increase the risk of bee sting. Pairing the following tips with any one of those sources should insure melittin is coursing through your veins in no time:
1
Do not use bee protection gear
2
Do not use a bee smoker
3
Rub your hands with banana peels
Every source I could find suggests the use of gloves, long sleeves, pants and a beekeeping hat with veil. Simply by not having these, or even better, wearing less, you’ll provide the bees plenty of area they can sting.
Strike down similar measures, applying to all states with similar constitutional bans.
Rule samesex marriages are a constitutional right.
Would apply to state laws banning same-sex marriage but would not establish a federal right to marriage.
Would find marriage is a legal right held by all citizens, compelling states to recognize samesex marriages.
Limit the scope and impact with the language of the decision.
Could limit to only states with “separate but equal” civil unions, or spell out protections for religious liberty.
According to the article on ehow.com about bee keeping, “At a minimum, you’ll need a smoker to calm the bees.” You have to remember bees sting when agitated, so calming them would defeat the purpose. “A stinging bee releases a banana-scented pheromone to alert its comrades to attack the same area,” according to a guide on the Mother Earth News website. Taking advantage of that scent could help you get stung more. If you are establishing a hive by purchasing the bees through the mail, you may want to provide them with a little nectar made from equal parts water and granulated sugar. This is where the above guides and I agree. Your goal isn’t to be contrary to other beekeeping resources, just simply increase the chance of getting stung. If you are going to harvest the honey, remember to leave your hive some honey in the winter so they don’t starve. The article on Mother Earth News suggests between 30 and 90 pounds. So after purchasing the hive boxes and bees, waiting the first year so the bees can establish themselves, following this and other guides, you are ready to be continually stung in order to possibly prevent HIV, but not other diseases from unprotected sex. You are ready to rip holes in HIV’s protective coating with the slight chance that you’ll damage normal tissue or develop an allergy to bee stings — or you could just wear a condom.

Cyprus, U.S. confiscate money from private bank accounts
A
banking crisis in Opinion Columnist the Mediterranean Island nation of Cyprus has led to massive protests over a controversial bailout negotiation with Eurozone policy makers. These protests gained worldwide attention when Scott Houser a policy to confiscate 30 scott.a.houser-1@ou.edu percent of all bank accounts with a balance greater than 100,000 euros went into effect Monday. The extreme policy is designed to sustain repayment of a previous bailout package Cyprus received from the EU. If you think the U.S. government is any better than this, you are wrong. The U.S. has been stealing money from savers for a long time and has actually increased its efforts in recent years. Too big to fail isn’t just an American thing anymore.
Sovereign debt problems among Eurozone countries have sprung up as early as the mid 2000s. Greece is the most famous example, where the economic impacts of bailout negotiations have led to massive unemployment, austerity measures and even a sharp rise in xenophobia. Both the Eurozone and the U.S. are in economic trouble, but why does the Eurozone see massive protests, while aside from Occupy Wall Street, the U.S. has seen very little? The answer has to do with the method of confiscation used by the U.S., rather than the confiscation itself. The U.S. has one advantage in this department Cyprus does not. The Federal Reserve controls U.S. money supply, while individual Eurozone countries have little control over the euro. When the U.S. federal government needs money, they just borrow from the Federal Reserve, which prints money out of thin air. This causes inflation and steals value from those who hold dollars. It has all the benefits of taking money from people’s bank accounts and it’s a hundred times sneakier.
In fact, when the Federal Reserve announced its “Quantitative Easing 3” policy last year, where the Federal Reserve would purchase $40 billion worth of mortgage backed securities every month for an indefinite period of time, things went relatively unnoticed. What this means is, since September 2012, the Federal Reserve has been stealing $40 billion dollars of value from every dollar holder every month and using this money to buy the same shoddy securities that began the current recession in 2008 in order to prop up the banks responsible for the same depression. In fact, the $80 billion sequester cuts which caused such an uproar are equivalent to the what the Federal Reserve prints in two months for this project alone. So what can this tiny island nation learn from the world’s greatest, freest, wealthiest and most powerful country? Not it’s wrong to steal, but rather don’t get caught. Scott Houser is an international business senior.

sense of community Nice Tuesdays brings is what Stafford said he enjoys most. It’s a weekly place where you don’t have to go to a bar or really pay anything. Without the presence of a bar, the association between music and alcohol is diminished, allowing people to enjoy and appreciate the music without feeling obligated to get drunk, Stafford said. Kids especially like music in a different way than adults, and Nice Tuesdays is a way for kids to be exposed to music aside from their radios. And while Nice Tuesdays is not a kiddie show, it is for
all ages and lets younger people experience music like Stafford did as a teenager at Opolis. Nice Tuesdays features a new band each week.

have to be honest when I say I literally squealed with delight when I found out Megan Deaton The Strokes were to remeggiejennie@ou.edu lease a new album this month. My anticipation for the new album grew daily as I began to measure the passage of time not by date, but by the number of days left until the debut of the record. After the relatively disappointing sound of “Angles” (aside from the tracks “Machu Picchu” and “Under Cover of Darkness”), The Strokes have finally released “Comedown Machine.” The new album fully uses lead singer Julian Casablancas’ vocal range, exploring a territory not often frequented by the band: falsetto. Casablancas’ familiar voice soars over his usual lower, seductive rock tones in “One Way Trigger,” during which he sings the entire chorus in an impressive falsetto. There’s no denying this shows Casablancas’ talent, but the strange shift from the band’s usual sound may turn long-time fans away from “Comedown Machine.” I identify with the countless number of Strokes fans who believe the band’s debut album, “Is This It,” is still the group’s best work to date. Aside from a few impressive singles, Casablancas and his crew have yet to surpass the stellar sound they created with tracks like “Barely Legal” and “Last Nite.” The newest album is no exception. The single “All the Time,” which was released before the album, is reminiscent of that old Strokes sound, but tracks like “Call It Fate Call It Karma” seem to come from a different era, previous to the band’s famous revival of guitar-based music. Now I may have lost some of you who may be new to The Strokes. Don’t let my die-hard fan pessimism fool you. The Strokes have always been and will most likely always be a fantastic band. The new album is by no means a bad one, but it doesn’t quite fit in with the band’s familiar aesthetic. Perhaps I should applaud the group for moving on with a new sound, but I can’t help but wax nostalgic for their old tunes. To use a cliché, if it isn’t broken, SEE MORE ONLINE don’t fix it.

Kanewa was placed in the starting lineup in the meet against UCLA. Thrilled for the opportunity, Kanewa was preparing in every way she could. In addition to practicing in the gym, she was visualizing her vault and practicing saluting in her dorm room the night before. “Someone who didn’t absolutely love and enjoy doing gymnastics all the time would not do that,” coach K.J. Kindler said. “I think that just shows that her heart is in it 200 percent.” As Kanewa took to the vaulting runway on Feb. 22 against the Bruins, she ran confidently down the runway

and hurdled into her debut vault as a Sooner. It would earn her the event title that night and contribute to a huge team victory against UCLA. “When I landed that vault, with my whole body I could
just feel the excitement,” Kanewa said. “I did it, and for a while, some people didn’t think that I would, but I did. “I had tried to think about and dream about what that would feel like, but it was a completely different feeling than I thought. It was everything I had imagined, plus 20 times more. I can’t even describe it.” To Kanewa, it was a huge achievement. To her teammates, it was inspiring. “ It w a s a m a z i n g j u s t watching her after being out for so long and only practicing for two days. It was awesome when she landed,” Scaman said. “The whole

She went on to win vault for the second time in just three meets after her injury against then-No. 16 Arizona on March 8, receiving a perfect-10 score from one of two judges, equaling an average score of a 9.95 and a career high for the freshman. “She works extremely hard and believes in herself,” Kindler said. “You can never underestimate her.” Cecily Tawney cecilytawney@ou.edu
