3-year-old dies of flu complications

By Andrew Knittle Transcript Staff Writer

A 3-year-old boy from Cleveland County died Thursday of flu complications, a county health official has confirmed.

Shari Kinney, director of the Cleveland County Health Department, said she wasn’t sure where the boy died, but confirmed that he is the county’s first influenza-related death.

Statewide, four others have died of flu complications during the current flu season and the number of people checking into hospitals is starting to increase exponentially, said Leslea Bennett-Webb, communications director for the state Department of Health.

In fact, since Sept. 1, 2010, there have been 458 hospitalizations related to the flu. Last week, 156 people (nearly 35 percent of the total so far this flu season) were hospitalized

due to flu-like symptoms, state records show.

“It’s really starting to increase significantly,” Bennett-Webb said.

Kinney said residents who have yet to get a flu shot can still do so at the Cleveland County Health Department offices in Norman and Moore, which still have vaccines available for children and adults.

The cost of a flu shot is $25, • See FLU Page A3

Voting records differ for candidates Transcript Staff Writer

By Nanette Light Today could be the one shot for evidence of this week’s blizzard to melt, with the forecast — as of Friday — finally projected to warm above freezing, before the state is predicted to slip back into a numbing, snowy relapse, a meteorologist at the National Weather Center in Norman said.

“We might get a little bit of snow to melt, but not too much,” said meteorologist Marc Austin of today’s forecast, which predicted Friday, highs in the upper 30s and lower 40s. “And, whatever we do get, it’s going to be short-lived.”

Austin said forecasts

he created for us, and we’re so happy to carry on his legacy.”

This year’s Chocolate Festival will be from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at The Oklahoma Forum Building, 1704 Asp Ave., on the University of Oklahoma campus.

“Yes, he definitely had a sweet tooth,” Sara Davis said of her late husband. “Chocolate, I guess, was his favorite.”

Voting records for two candidates vyying to win the Office No. 1 seat Tuesday on the Norman Public Schools’ Board of Education seem spotty when stacked against the race’s third candidate, whose record shows multiple trips to the polls each year.

Copies of voting records for candidates Jim Gasso and Paul Maus are one-page long, showing lax ballot participation only in November and December elections, compared to the two-page printout of candidate Julie Raadschelders’ record.

Gasso, 4201 Upper Lake Drive, registered in McClain County as an Independent in October 1998 after moving to Norman from California in 1994.

Since registering, Gasso’s record shows he has voted in three elections, with his first being in November 2004.

“When we moved here, we didn’t know what was what,” said Gasso, 52, in response to waiting four years after moving from the West Coast to Oklahoma to register.

Gasso credited his inactive status until 2004 to commuting back and forth from Norman to California from 1998 to 2002 when he was teaching and coaching at Fullerton Community College in Fullerton, Calif.

City’s waterlines holding up well, officials say

By Andrew Knittle Transcript Staff Writer

The city of Norman’s waterlines are holding well, despite the protracted cold weather, but officials say they’re fielding a lot of calls for pipes bursting in attics.

David Hager, line main-

tenance superintendent, said that’s not normal for this kind of weather.

“That’s been kind of shocking to us,” Hager said.

“You normally don’t see that many calls for pipes bursting in the attic, so that’s been kind of odd.”

Other than that, he said

the city hasn’t had any busted waterlines that can be attributed to the snowy weather.

A couple of city-owned pipes busted earlier in the week, but Hager said he believed that was due to the dry conditions underground.

“We think those busted due to ground movement, because of how dry it’s been,” he said. “That’s something we’re used to dealing with, and it’s probably not due to the weather.”

Hager said his department fielded about 15 calls

Hitting the snowhills

from residents with busted pipes from 4 p.m. Thursday to 8 a.m. Friday, when most waterlines fall victim to frigid temperatures.

“We’ll send a unit to the house and help them turn off their water, since a lot of people don’t know where the cut-off is in their

homes,” he said. “People should call us immediately when they think they have a busted pipe.”

To report a busted waterline, call 329-0703 during regular business hours.

After hours, call the city’s main line at 321-1600 and dispatch will contact a crew.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Hard ice and heavy snow slid off Cowboys Stadium’s domed roof Friday, leaving at least six people injured after another blast of winter slammed North Texas, officials said.

Crews responded to a series of injury calls at the Super Bowl venue after the ice started falling to ground in chunks Friday afternoon, according to the Arlington Fire department, which said six people were taken to hospitals.

The two most seriously injured were listed in stable condition, the department said.

None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said as many as seven people may have been injured, including one who suffered a possible concussion and another with a shoulder injury.

All stadium entrances, except for a truck tunnel, were closed after the ice and snow began falling from the roof.

“The likelihood is they’ll have to get somebody up there to get the snow off as soon as possible,“ NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “They likely will be doing that in the next 24 hours.”

Matter of record

OU professor reappointed by Obama

By Andrew Knittle

Matter of record will return Tuesday.

Transcript Staff Writer

A meteorology professor at the University of Oklahoma recently was reappointed by President Barack Obama to another term on the National Science Board.

Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, who is also the university’s vice president of research, currently is awaiting confirmation by the U.S. Senate before he can serve his second term.

Droegemeier said the board gives policy gudi-

Early voting for school election begins Those who wish to vote absentee for Tuesday’s annual school election can do so 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday at the Cleveland County Election Board, 641 E. Robinson St., Suite 200.

Regular voting polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

“In-person absentee voters fill out an application form when they arrive at the office. They are not required to state a reason for voting in-person absentee,” Election Board Secretary Paula Roberts said. “They are required to swear that they have not voted a regular mail absentee ballot and that they will not vote at their polling places on election day.”

ance and advice to the president and Congress on all Droegemeier scientific research in every discipline except clinical health.

He said the board also publishes reports “of strategic relevance to the nation,” the most recent of which are available online at www.nsf.gov.

For a scientist, being able to serve on such a board is a special thing, Droegemeier said.

“It’s the most rewarding experience of my career because one is able to provide input on national science policy that benefits our nation,” he said, adding that his work on the NSB strengthens universities and leads to new discoveries.

Droegemeier was first appointed to the NSB in 2004 by former President George W. Bush. The terms run for six years.

The NSB meets six times a year, with five of those meetings taking place in Washington, D.C., Droegemeier said.

“Those meetings run about two days, and considerable work occurs between meetings,” he said. “So, on average, I probably spend about 25 to 30 days a year on NSB business.”

As a special government employee, Droegemeier said he earns about $550 per day while working for the National Science Board.

Fest: Founder not surprised by growth • Continued from Page A1 Sara Davis said that some of Dan Davis’ fondest memories were of getting local artists involved in the festival. She said that he remained active in the festival for many years, helping get more restaurants and partners involved in the event.

Sara Davis also said that Dan was never shocked at how quickly the festival grew.

“He was not surprised.

Many other people were,” she said. “It was a new concept in town.”

This year’s festival will see 35 vendors passing out samples of chocolate creations and other goodies to participants. There will also be free art activities for children, including a Children’s Art Wall and the Creative Clay Animal Project, where children can sculpt clay animals.

Maus, 47, said helping his son cope with school struggles delayed him four years in switching his voter registration from Cleveland to McClain County.

“With everything my son was going through at Norman Public Schools and dealing with his Post-traumatic

Stress Disorder, changing my voter registration was not my top priority,” said Maus, who — along with his wife, Tammy, and a group of other parents and students — filed a lawsuit against the district in October 2007, claiming their special needs children were physically abused while the children attended school in the district.

Flu: Shots • Continued from Page A1 although “low-income residents may qualify for a flu shot without charge.”

For more information, call 3214048 in Norman or 794-1591. Flu shots at the county health department, 250 12th Ave. NE in Norman and 424 S. Eastern in Moore, are available from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Storm: Case assessment • Continued from Page A1 Herron said. “ER nurses are asking that people limit their driving and stay inside, if possible.”

As for cases of influenza, which is going around Norman and the rest of the state, the health system’s intake coordinator says the caseload is normal, she said.

“We’re seeing normal levels in terms of patients being admitted or seen for influenza for this time of year,” Herron said.

Herron said there have been no deaths related to the flu at any NRHS hospital since the snowstorm blanketed Norman and surrounding areas earlier in the week.

While registered in Cleveland County, Marti said Maus voted in three elections, with his first being in December 2007.

Since switching to McClain County, his voting record shows he has voted once, during the general election in November 2010.

Raadschelders, 1515 E. Post Oak Road, registered in Cleveland County as a Democrat in July 1999, after moving back stateside to Norman in 1998 from the Netherlands.

Since registering, Raadschelders, graduate program coordinator and assistant professor in the College of Liberal Studies at the Uni-

versity of Oklahoma, has voted each year, usually multiple times, including annual school elections every year from 2000 to 2005, except for 2003.

Gasso and Maus’ records do not show any trips to the polls for annual school elections while they have been Norman residents.

“I’ve always been fairly politically active,” said Raadschelders. “I knew, when I turned 18, I could vote and give blood and get married.

So, when I turned 18, I voted and gave blood and have ever since.”

Melt: Another storm system coming • Continued from Page A1 show a chance of precipitation, which could be a mix of snow and rain, moving in from the north. He said snow accumulation for Norman is estimated at two inches.

Monday’s temperatures are anticipated to mimic Saturday’s, with the radar showing potential for another storm system to move through the area Tuesday, Austin said. He said it is difficult right now to speculate snow accumulation for the mid-week storm.

“Right now, it doesn’t look like anything big, but these things can always change,” he said.

Austin said people should continue to monitor the weather, adding that even if several more inches of snow fall in Norman, temperatures shouldn’t be as cold as they were after the most recent blizzard.

“That’s one bit of good news. But, of course, if you add one or two inches on top of what we have, that makes travel even more difficult,” Austin said.

Norman Fire Deputy Chief Jim Bailey said a couple more inches of snow shouldn’t cause the city any additional problems. But he did advise people to stay off roadways if travel isn’t necessary.

On Friday, the Senior Citizens Center, Little Axe Community Center, Westwood facilities, Santa Fe Depot, Historical Museum and Fire-

house Art Center were open, according to a news release from the city of Norman. The Sooner Theatre was closed Friday.

The release states that police continued to operate under the “slick street policy,” meaning accidents without personal injury were not investigated.

Capt. Tom Easley of the Norman Police Department said, as of Friday afternoon, police had not responded to any accidents with injury.

He said police were dispatched Thursday to clear cars parked around the Tecumseh overpass for sledding.

“That creates chaos for the motoring public,” he said.

The Sanitation Division and Recycling Services operated their regular routes Friday, and customers scheduled for Tuesday services will be picked up today.

Mail deliveries for some customers, especially those in the country, have been delayed, said Postmaster Leslie Dodd at the post office along Gray Street.

She said carriers had some problems delivering mail Tuesday, but have been out every day since.

She said customers are responsible to clear the area around their mailboxes, adding that could be one reason people haven’t received their mail.

“We get out and walk some of

them, but we can’t walk them all,” she said.

Bailey said the city is continuing to clear roads, concentrating on the city’s primary and secondary streets.

“If the sun comes out, that will help a lot,” he said, adding road conditions will be dependent on how much melts today and possible snow accumulation Sunday and later in the week.

“If we can get some good melt off this weekend, that will help, but that will depend on if the sun comes out and if temperatures get above freezing,” Bailey said, adding that the city has plenty of sand and salt.

Austin said snowy roads, which he said were slicker Friday, melted some Thursday and Friday, even though the temperature remained below freezing.

“But that ices up, then, quickly overnight,” he said.

Our view • JOURNALISTS ATTACKED

Egyptian attacks on journalists follow government complaints Journalists have come to expect a certain amount of hostility directed toward their profession. But concentrated campaigns targeting them are rare.

The Committee to Protect Journalists, an international watchdog agency that tabulates press killings, kidnappings and assaults, says in one 24 hour period in Egypt, 26 journalists were assaulted and 30 detained this past week.

Most observers believe it stems from the Egyptian government’s criticism of protest coverage. Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak say journalists appear to be sympathetic to anti-government protesters inside Tahrir Square.

Anyone with a camera or a notebook is now suspect.

Security forces and military personnel have detained reporters and camera crews. Additionally, eight correspondents report their equipment has been seized. One NPR

crew reporting from a quiet Cairo neighborhood was quickly ushered out.

Since 1992, the CPJ reports 849 working journalists have been targeted and killed. In nearly 20 years, Egypt counts only one confirmed journalist killed and another death whose motive has not been confirmed.

“We hold President Mubarak personally responsible for this unprecedented action and call on the Egyptian government to reverse course immediately,” said Joel Simon, the CPJ’s executive director.

The U.S. State Department has condemned the attacks. Egypt appears to be trying to reduce the amount of information coming from the protests.

It is a dark day for Egypt when it reduces itself to the likes of countries like Burma, Iran and Cuba which have hampered press coverage for years.

• CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL

A pleasant ‘fix’ for chocoholics Today’s Chocolate Festival is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Norman’s Firehouse Art Center. Chocoholics from throughout the state have been known to venture into central Oklahoma for a “fix” of blizzard-like proportion.

That “fix” is still available but Norman residents may be the only ones who make it here. Travelers’ warnings are keeping some inside their homes until the deep thaw comes, whenever that is.

This year’s fundraiser, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the OCCE Forum Building, 1704 Asp Ave., gives us all a chance to remember the festival’s origin.

Dan Davis, a longtime OU administrator and faculty member, is credited with

pitching the idea of the festival in 1983. Dr. Davis passed away this past month.

He asked a few restaurants to donate dessert samples for tasting. They expected about 200 guests to purchase tickets. More than 600 showed up, giving the Firehouse board an indication that they’d found a fundraising niche among all sugar-lovers.

Over the years, we’ve seen chocolate delicacies presented in many forms.

From chili to coffee, cakes to cognac cups, the festival always has something unique. Today’s festival features 35 vendors with samples and children’s art activities. It seems like a great cure for cabin fever and a treat for chocoholics.

We’ll see you there.

Another view • PETS

Hey Rover, roll over

A new study finds that people who sleep with their pets may be at risk for parasites and diseases — even plague. “A surprising 56 percent of dog owners sleep with their dog next to them,” says the report, written by a UC Davis veterinary professor and California’s state public health veterinarian and published in a journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It’s unclear if that canine count includes the dogs that sneak into their

owners’ beds after they’ve passed out for the night.

The sleepover percentage is higher for cat owners — 62 percent.

The study includes some observations about people and animals kissing and licking each other, and the authors take a dim view of that for young children and the immune compromised. … This is really a matter for you and your pet to decide in the privacy of your bedroom.

We look forward to working with Norman’s water quality experts.

Cleaning up hexavalent chromium pollution has its costs. But ignoring it is not an option. The city of Norman and EPA deserve credit for following up promptly on our findings. The next step is to find ways to minimize contamination that could damage human health.

A deadly turn in Egypt

By Trudy Rubin The Philadelphia Inquirer

I

t was too good to be true.

The dream of peaceful Egyptian political reform ended Wednesday in Tahrir Square when Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak sent rent-a-thugs to attack peaceful demonstrators with machetes, clubs and Molotov cocktails. Journalists also were targets.

I still have hope that the idealistic young social networkers who organized the Egyptian revolt can propel their country into an unprecedented era of representative government. But that hope hangs by a thread.

Although Mubarak announced Tuesday, after a week of protests, that he won’t run again in September, he clearly wants to retain power until the presidential election. This raises the suspicion that he will try to manipulate the results and prevent real competition.

The army, which many believed was tilting toward the protesters, now appears to back Mubarak’s plan to hold on until the fall. Its troops stood by passively as government goons rained incendiary devices down on Tahrir Square.

So what are the odds that something positive will still emerge from the Egyptian uprising?

Uncertain. However, Arab leaders can’t squash today’s rebels the way they did past reformers. Times have changed.

I traveled around the Arab world in 2005, when the last Arab democracy wave was in flower, talking to enthusiastic reform advocates in Damascus, Amman and Cairo. In Egypt, Mubarak finally permitted reformers to run an opposition candidate for president, Ayman Nour, but his campaign was stifled, and he was tossed in jail after election day.

In Jordan, Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher and his team produced an ambitious national agenda for political reform, but it was abandoned as soon as it was finished; the pressure came from the elite, eager to preserve its privileges. In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad

Although Mubarak announced Tuesday, after a week of protests, that he won’t run again in September, he clearly wants to retain power until the presidential election. This raises the suspicion that he will try to manipulate the results and prevent real competition. briefly permitted opposition debate, then decided it was too risky and shut it down.

These reform efforts all originated at the top, not at the grass roots.

They also were spurred on by the administration of President George W. Bush, when America seemed at the height of its power.

But by mid-2005, the Iraq war was going sour; Bush’s Arab democracy campaign was viewed

by Arabs as having unleashed chaos in Baghdad. Arab reformers repeatedly told me that Iraq’s chaos was giving democracy a “bad name” and tarring those who accepted U.S. funds for their organizations. The Iraq debacle gave Arab autocrats an excuse to clamp down.

In 2011, however, the Egyptian protests have nothing to do with U.S. pressure or funding. They were organized by Egyptian youths, many educated and jobless, who used social-media networks to get the message out.

In a country where a youth bulge skews the population toward the under-30s, no leader can ignore these demographics. Moreover, the heady experience these young people have enjoyed in the last week, of taking responsibility for their fate and achieving astonishing results, won’t be forgotten.

These youths won’t go meekly back home to stew over their joblessness — and over a government that won’t treat them with the respect they have earned.

So, Mubarak has a choice.

He can work with the army and civilian groups to set up an interim caretaker government that would

devise fair rules for a free election in September. That also would permit vital time and space for nonIslamist parties to get organized.

Or he can revert to old-style police tactics of beating up his opponents, in hopes of rigging the rules for the election.

Mubarak appears to have chosen Option Two. He’s assuming that the chaos he has unleashed will persuade the broad public to back him in hopes of restoring stability. But the genie of rebellion is out of the bottle.

The longer the violence continues, the more likely that newly energized Egyptian youths will become radicalized and that Islamic groups will take advantage of their anger. The longer the violence goes on, the more likely the army will split, with the rank-and-file refusing to fire on the rebels if asked. Down that road lies real chaos.

Clearly, Mubarak isn’t listening to President Obama’s pleas to refrain from violence and get the transition moving. I’ve agreed with Obama’s reluctance to call publicly for Mubarak to quit, lest this convey an image of another U.S. effort at regime change. But the time has come to deliver a clear message in private to Mubarak and his generals: His continued presence in office is going to drag his country down.

Lifestyles An important update on ‘Tiger Mother’ Living S With top the Presses! I interrupt this column with an important update: Infamous Chinese Tiger Mother Amy Chua, whose account of her parenting methods (“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”: Penguin) has provoked a tsunami of outrage, now says that much, if not most, of her description was a “joke,” “deadpan humor,” and “tongue in cheek.”

In a Jan. 22 interview with Joy Behar, Ms. Chua said she was joking when she wrote that she threatened to burn her daughter’s stuffed animals if she didn’t master a complicated piano piece.

Lots of people got the joke, she said; they were rolling on the floor. When Behar suggested she was backtracking, Chua denied it, but subsequently said that in retrospect she wasn’t proud of some of her parenting techniques. Furthermore, she said the list of draconian restrictions and expectations that caused much of the outrage was more of a description of how she was raised by her immigrant parents, not how she raised her two daughters.

Not backtracking?

Several points: First, of the hundreds of folks who responded to my critique that appeared in this column several weeks

ago, no one chided me for not getting the joke. I think Chua

By John is, well, to Rosemond put it mildly, misrepresenting her original intent.

Second, the operational definition of a joke is something that makes people laugh. I know of no one who was amused much less, as Chua claims, rolling on the floor. Comedy is obviously not her strong suit.

Third, I am a published author. As such, I know that ethical publishers will not publish a book in which an author puts forth outrageous claims and descriptions that aren’t true. If Chua truly was kidding, then she put one over on her publisher, Penguin. In that case it should pull the plug on Chua’s book of comedy and require her to return her advance.

Something Else That Isn’t Funny: According to a survey conducted by the

UCLA Higher Education Research Center, the mental health of first-year college students has been in sharp decline since 1985, when the survey was first taken.

When asked to rate their emotional health, only 52 percent of freshmen rated themselves above average. This is down from 64 percent in 1985. In just the last year, the self-rating has fallen 3.4 percent.

Why? I suggest that the concept of learned helplessness may go a long way toward answering that question. Learned helplessness is a psychological state characterized by the feeling that one is not capable of exercising adequate control over their life circumstances.

Helplessness can be learned when, for example, significant others have made it their business to solve a person’s life

Children

problems for him.

Helicopter parenting became the norm in the 1980s. Over the next 20 years, HP was slowly replaced by what I call “Cuisinart parenting” — characterized by a lack of boundary (blending) in the parent-child relationship and a related state of ubiquitous parental micromanagement and enabling. Today’s parents solve problems for their children that parents 50plus years ago expected their kids to solve for themselves, and the problem areas in question run the full gamut.

Today’s children, therefore, can be excused for not knowing how to entertain themselves creatively or organize a ball game on their own.

They also can be excused for feeling that life is overwhelming if Mom and Dad aren’t there to mediate it for them.

The UCLA survey gives proof to the expression that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

News in brief Thousands of re-energized protesters rally CAIRO — A new rally Friday by nearly 100,000 protesters in Cairo and behind-the-scenes diplomacy from the Obama administration piled more pressure on President Hosni Mubarak to make a swift exit and allow a temporary government to embark on an immediate path toward democracy.

Two days of wild clashes between protesters and regime supporters that killed 11 people this week seemed to have pushed the United States to the conclusion that an Egypt with Mubarak at the helm is potentially more unstable than one without him.

For the first time in the 11-day wave of protests, varying scenarios were being put forward by two opposing camps in Egypt and by the United States on how to usher the country into a post-Mubarak era after nearly 30 years of his authoritarian rule.

Chinese New Year Gala a celebration between cultures

By Aaron Wright Gray Transcript Staff Writer

On Sunday, the Harbin Normal University from China will come to Norman to celebrate their culture with the American people.

The Chinese New Year Gala, a conglomeration of Chinese folk dancing, instruments, martial arts, Chinese cuisine and art, will be from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the

Nancy O’Brian Center, 1809 Stubbeman Ave. A celebration dinner will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and will be sold at the event.

This is the first time for the performance troupe to come to America, said Cai Ya’nan, Chinese director of Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine London, a partner with the Harbin Normal University.

The group, composed of professionals in their fields, will visit Edmond and Tulsa as well.

“We’d like to celebrate a happy and healthy Chinese New Year with American people,” Ya’nan said. “Our show includes stage performance and lectures about Chinese painting, well-being, music, customs and exhibitions. When the kids learn how to draw a cute chicken with only five strokes in

Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, to return to space HOUSTON — The astronaut husband of wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said his wife would be “very comfortable” with his decision to go back into space and he expects her to be at his launch in April.

When asked if Giffords might be well enough to attend his launch, Kelly said: “Absolutely. I have every intention that she’ll be there for the launch. I’ve already talked to her doctors about it.”

Hatch: Kagan shouldn’t review health care law WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, an opponent of the recently enacted health care overhaul, says Justice Elena Kagan should not take part in the widely expected Supreme Court consideration of the law.

Iraqi PM takes pay cut in wake of Egyptian outcry BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minister said Friday he’ll return half of his annual salary to the public treasury in a symbolic gesture that appeared calculated to insulate himself from the antigovernment unrest spreading across the Middle East.

It was a stunning statement for Nouri alMaliki, who has resisted disclosing his pay in the five years he has led Iraq.

He described it as an effort to narrow the gap between the nation’s rich and poor.

Coming in the wake of popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, however, alMaliki also seemed to be shielding himself from public bitterness over Iraq’s sagging economy and electricity shortages.

Al-Maliki narrowly secured a second term in office after months of political negotiations last year. He is believed to earn at least $360,000 annually.

Obama to Mubarak: Consider your legacy

By Ben Feller AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Embracing an Egyptian future without Hosni Mubarak, President Barack Obama on Friday pressed the embattled leader to consider his legacy and exit office in a way that would give his country the best chance for peace and democracy. Obama tried to rally world pressure on Mubarak to make “the right decision” but did not call for his immediate resignation.

“I believe that President Mubarak cares about his country. He is proud, but he’s also a patriot,” Obama said as Cairo remained a center of protest and upheaval.

The U.S. president said he had urged Mubarak to listen to those in his government and the pleading voices of his people, and

decide if he’s willing to accept a serious transition out of power.

Obama, limited in his leverage to control events, appeared to adjust his tactics in making brief comments to reporters. Instead of just outlining Egyptian steps to halt the street violence and move toward a freer government, Obama openly played to Mubarak’s pride and reputation.

Mubarak, facing an uprising in his country after nearly 30 years of rule, has said he will not run for reelection in September. Obama called that a “psychological break” for Mubarak and then challenged him to reflect on his next move.

He did that with a reminder that world is watching.

“The key question he should be asking himself is, ‘How do I leave a legacy behind in which Egypt is able to get through this transformative period?’”

Obama said. “And my hope is — is that he will end up making the right decision.”

The comments came in response to a question about Egypt, the first one Obama had agreed to answer since the crisis began 11 days earlier. In a brief appearance with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Obama declined to answer whether a credible transition toward free, fair elections in September could begin with Mubarak still in power.

Protesters are adamant that Mubarak must go now; they have campaigned for days, at times met with violence in images seen around the world.

The latest rally in Cairo on Friday drew roughly 100,000 protesters, and it went off largely peacefully to the enormous relief of U.S. officials.

Leonel Oliver, 85, died Friday, Jan. 28, 2011, in Plano, Texas. Services scheduled for today have been postponed because of the weather. A new service time will be announced later. Online condolences may be made at www.havenbrookfuneralhome.com.

Noble weathers storm, some businesses re-open

By Jocelyn Pedersen For The Transcript

Area schools have been closed due to this week’s snowstorm, and Noble is no exception. Businesses have been affected, too. But — in true form for Noble — the community has found a way to come together to make the best of things.

Gary Hicks, owner of Tiffany’s Restaurant, said they opened Tuesday until about 10 a.m. He said business was down by 80 percent. On Wednesday, they tried again and stayed open until 1 p.m. By then, business was down only 20 percent.

“We had to try, due to the fact that our employees still have bills to pay, and I felt it was our responsibility to keep them from losing their wages,” Hicks said. “It’s just the right thing to do. Not to mention we owed it to our regular customer base for their support over the last 10 — going on 11 — years.”

Frances Wade, owner of Francesca’s Pompeii Gourmet said she didn’t open her store on Main Street on Tuesday or Wednesday, but she doesn’t plan to let the snow keep her closed for long. As of Thursday, she planned to re-open. She said she’s promoting Super Bowl dips, cheese ball mixes and salsas, as well as Valentine’s chocolates and gifts.

Noble resident James Jones turned the storm into an opportunity to help others. He owns a three-quarter ton, four-wheel drive truck and chose to put his son, time and vehicle to work by helping motorists who slid off the road and into ditches.

Jones, who works for the City of Norman, said he can only remember being sent home from work twice due to weather since 1984. Not being “much of a sitter,” Jones and his 11-year-old son, Jett, hopped in the family truck in search of people in need.

“It only took us a block to find somebody stuck,” Jones said. “Then, every time we’d go up the road a little bit, we’d find someone else.”

Jones said he and his son made a good team, with Jett grabbing the chain and hooking it up while his dad drove the truck. They encountered a man walking along the street who had come to help one of his friends and ended up getting stuck himself. The Jones duo pulled him out of

a ditch, saving him the rest of the approximately 10block walk back to his home in sub-freezing weather.

“He (the man) said, ‘God bless you’ three times,” Jones said. “We had people try to pay us a little bit, but we said, ‘No.’ We asked them to just help somebody else out down the road. We found a lot of enjoyment in helping folks. It was a good life lesson for my son to help people.”

After helping others, the younger Jones, Jett, headed to the hills at Hubbard Elementary to go sledding with friends.

“They (the kids) were cooped up and begging us to go sledding,” said Carrie Fowler, local resident and mom who took a bunch of youngsters over to Hubbard. “The kids had a blast, until they were all red in the face and so cold we had to bring them in.”

Jett’s mom, Shannon Jones, echoed the fun the kids have been having in the snow during the school closing.

“They’re having a great time. Other than that, they are watching movies and playing Parcheesi,” she said.

Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011 The year ahead could be an especially good one for putting your artistic, literary or musical talents to constructive uses. That market for your expression of the gifts you possess may be able to be found.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - That nose of your for sniffing out a bargain for something you want is apt to be much sharper than usual today. If there is a high-ticketed item you need, now may be the time to go shopping for it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) For reasons known only to you, it will be important for you to operate as freely and independently as you possible can. Avoid getting involved with anything that could restrict your mobility.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Those compassionate urges of yours will be easily aroused today by most anybody who needs help.

That includes everybody you know and even some strangers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not be easy to read at first, but when you open up it is easy for others to feel the warm and gracious vibes you give out.

Once the world sees you as a pal, friendship is offered.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Something that proved to be too much to handle yesterday is apt to be a piece of cake. What you previously saw as obstacles and impediments will now look like steppingstones.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Anything that allows you to use your artistic and creative faculties will be what you’ll thoroughly enjoy engaging in today. Use your talents and gifts to help make your day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Pay heed to your intuitive instincts, even in business matters and with things your logic dictates you to do otherwise. Your hunches could be much smarter than your brain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone who is near and dear to you might not be able to be reached through pragmatic means, but approaching this person with tenderness might work.

Use emotions, not logic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Because you’ll take such pride in whatever it is you are doing today, it won’t be necessary for anybody to look over your shoulder to keep tabs on your work. You’ll do a great job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There is nothing wrong with being in love with love, so if that is how you feel, let it out. There are a lot of empty spaces in this world that can be utilized by a romanticist.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Even if there are plenty of other work related or fun interests vying for your attention, give family matters top priority. There is nothing more important than those close to your heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You seem to be on everybody’s minds today. Both your computer and/or cell phone could be extremely busy with so many of your friends and family trying to reach you.

Fallin to propose cuts for all Oklahoma agencies

By Sean Murphy Associated Press

MIDWEST CITY — Gov. Mary Fallin said Friday a proposed state budget she will present to legislators next week will include budget cuts for every state agency.

Appearing before editors and publishers at the Oklahoma Press Association’s annual meeting, the governor said her first fiscal plan includes 5 percent budget cuts for most agencies.

Public safety, education and health care programs will face smaller cuts, she

said.

Fallin took over as governor Jan. 10.

At the time, budget officials were operating under the assumption 2011-12 revenues would fall about $290 million short of expectations, but within a week their estimate jumped to about $600 million — about 10 percent of current state expenditures.

While the expected 2011-12 shortfall exceeds the funding cuts coming in Fallin’s budget, Fallin told reporters that Oklahoma will save some money by consolidating state agency operations and services. She did not offer specifics.

Transcript Sports Writer

Oklahoma is a hot team. It has won four straight games and moved from last place in the Big 12 Conference to a tie for third over the last two-and-a-half weeks.

But it’s about to jump into the freezer that is Gallagher-Iba Arena when it faces Oklahoma State at 12:30 p.m. today. This season’s first edition of Bedlam will test just how much heat the Sooners have stored up.

“This is a game unlike any other,” OU guard Cade Davis said. “Every game in the Big 12 is tough, but this is Bedlam. For some people, it’s the most important game of the season.

I’m trying to instill in all the guys what the atmosphere will be like and try to get them to be confident and prepared and go up there and get a win.”

It didn’t take long for OU’s focus to turn to the Cowboys. Minutes after

Ears were opened wide for what they had to say.

“Coach explained to us right before we broke it down in the locker room that this is one of the biggest games of the season for us,” point guard Carl Blair said. “With the rivalry and everything, he just told us that we have to focus. We’re going to start tomorrow to get ready for them and

FORT WORTH, Texas — Another blast of winter weather slammed Dallas with up to 5 inches of snow Friday, making driving hazardous and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights as tens of thousands of football fans descended on North Texas for the Super Bowl.

The latest punch of unusual cold and snow hit a city still struggling to recover from Tuesday’s ice storm, part of a massive system that paralyzed a large swath of the country with blizzards, thundersnow and bone-chilling temperatures this week.

“It looks like, ‘Oh, no, I’m back in Canada,”’ said Sammy Sandu, a 32year-old property developer from Kelowna, B.C., who made it into Dallas with his father before the snow began to fall. “It’s just pouring down snow. Are we still at home, or have we left?

We didn’t drink that much last night, did we?”

The weather was causing travel problems for die-hard fans on Friday, expected to be the busiest day for travel to the Dallas area ahead of the game.

American Airlines and its affiliate, American Eagle, cancelled more than 300 flights that were supposed to land at its main hub, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Love Field, home to Southwest Airlines,

was closed down before dawn because of snow on the runways before reopening to commercial and private flights by noon.

Sandu said his brother was still hoping to get in from Miami, while his friend essentially abandoned travel plans after an American Airlines flight from Vancouver was canceled. They had hoped to visit the site of JFK’s assassination and said his brother had spent $1,500 on party tickets, but all those plans were on hold because of the weather.

Along with the fresh layer of snow, forecasters expect the subfreezing temperatures that hit the area Tuesday morning to linger through Saturday. The weather won’t warm up long enough to melt all the snow and ice before kickoff, said Amber Elliott of the National Weather Service.

With a win, Sooners could match 2002-03 season

By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer

Oklahoma prides itself on being tough. The ability to win tight matches is the reason it’s 11-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12 Conference with the postseason just four weeks away.

“I think we’re all gearing up well,” Sooner coach Jack Spates said. “Our confidence has increased and we’ve made some big strides and

we’re healthy.”

All that will be put to the test when OU faces Missouri (14-6, 0-1) at 3 p.m.

Saturday at McCasland Field House.

With a win over Missouri, the Sooners will own three conference victories in a season for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign when the Sooners finished third at the NCAA Championships and won the Big 12 title.

OKLAHOMA WRESTLING

“We’re going to have to take control of the action from the beginning of the match until the end” Jack Spates, OU head wrestling coach

Spates believes the Sooners have similar talent this season. What happens today against the Tigers could be a good barometer.

Seven Sooners are ranked this week, led by secondranked Tyler Caldwell at 165 pounds. Senior Zack Bailey (141 pounds) sits at No. 6

and Jarrod Patterson is ranked No. 7 at 125 pounds.

Nathan Fernandez stands 13th among heavyweights. Chase Nelson (157) is No. 11, while Erich Schmidtke is 17th at 184 pounds. Jordan Keller (133) jumped to No. 17.

Missouri counters with eight ranked wrestlers.

Leading the way for the Tigers is fourth-ranked Dom Bradley (heavyweight). Alan Waters (125) and Zach Toal

(165) are each ranked-ninth in their weight classes. The Tigers’ Todd Schavrien and Mike Larson both check in at No. 12 at 141 and 184 pounds, respectively. Brent Haynes (197) is ranked No. 15, while Dorian Henderson sits at No. 20 among 174 pounders.

“We’re going to have to take control of the action from the beginning of the match until the end,” Spates said.

SOCCER

• Egypt suspends all soccer in the country: CAIRO — Egypt’s soccer league has been suspended until a “return of stability” to the nation.

Protesters have stepped up their campaign to oust President Hosni Mubarak after a nearly 30-year authoritarian reign. The decision to suspend all soccer in the country was made by the Egyptian Football Association.

Last week, the 16th round of the league season was postponed because of antigovernment protests in Cairo and other cities. On Monday, the United States canceled an exhibition game in Cairo that had been scheduled for Feb. 9.

LAW & ORDER

• Albert Haynesworth accused in assault: FAIRFAX, Va. — Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has been accused of assault in what police said was a case of road rage.

Fairfax County police spokeswoman Shelley Broderick said a 38-year-old man told investigators he was driving a Honda Civic in suburban Washington when he saw a pickup truck tailgating him. The man said the driver then made a hand gesture.

Haynesworth, who was driving the truck, got out when the vehicles stopped and assaulted the other driver, Broderick said.

Haynesworth has not been formally charged in the case.

But a warrant has been issued in the case, and police have been in touch with Haynesworth’s attorney, Broderick said. Arrangements have been made for Haynesworth to meet with officers, and he will appear in Fairfax County General District Court at a later date.

• Mets owners owe victims $300M: NEW YORK — The owners of the Mets turned a blind eye to Bernard Madoff’s massive fraud, reaping $300 million in false profits and using a large chunk to run the team, according to a lawsuit unsealed Friday.

The lawsuit claims the owners were so dependent on the disgraced financier’s too-good-to-be-true returns that it “faced a severe and immediate liquidity crisis” when Madoff’s crimes were revealed in 2009.

The searing allegations were made by Irving Picard, the trustee appointed to recover funds for investors burned by Madoff’s scheme.

The suit filed by Picard in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan names Sterling Equities, along with its partners and family members, including Met owner Fred Wilpon, team president Saul Katz and chief operating Jeff Wilpon, the owner’s son.

CYCLING

• Contador says doping rules are ‘stuck in ’60s’: MADRID — Alberto Contador says his proposed one-year ban is a result of anti-doping rules “stuck in the ’60s.”

The Spaniard could lose his 2010 Tour de France title and be left off the starting line in July for failing a doping test at last year’s race.

Spanish cycling authorities accept Contador’s explanation that he unintentionally ingested clenbuterol by eating contaminated meat and have tentatively ruled he should banned but not for the usual two years.

The three-time Tour champion has vowed to appeal any doping sanction, and has until Wednesday to submit further evidence to the Spanish cycling federation’s disciplinary committee before it reaches a final verdict.

“Today, advances in science are able to detect minute amounts of some banned substances which neither further athletic performance nor can possibly be taken voluntarily, except if they enter our bodies through ingested food — this is my case with clenbuterol,” Contador said Friday in a statement posted on his website. “But whereas scientific advances have arrived in the year 2011, the rule remains stuck in the ’60s, hence my ‘crime’ and possible sanction.”

NOT HIS PARTY

DALLAS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is not concerned about Michael Vick being billed as hosting a Super Bowl party because the Eagles quarterback told him it’s not true.

“He has said that on numerous occasions people have been using his name about being involved in some type of a party and he had no intention of participating in that,” Goodell said.

Speaking at his annual Super Bowl news conference on Friday, the commissioner said he’s spoken with Vick three times in the last two weeks about his plans.

“I want to make sure that he doesn’t put himself in a position where he’s going to make bad decisions or bad things can happen around him,” Goodell said.

“He takes that seriously also.”

Frost delays Phoenix Open

By Ronald Blum AP Sports Writer

By John Nicholson AP Sports Writer

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

— Tom Lehman knows the difference between chilly and cold.

“Somebody mentioned about playing in Minnesota where I grew up,” Lehman said Thursday after his first round in the frosty Phoenix Open.

“There were some days there where it was so brutally cold that I can tell you, one time in high school, a kid broke his hand, but didn’t know it until the ride home because his hands were numb all day. That’s cold.

Today wasn’t there.”

The 51-year-old Lehman thrived in the chill at TPC Scottsdale, shooting a 6-under 65 for a share of the lead in the suspended round.

“Once you get playing, you kind of forget about it,” Lehman said. “I started hitting the ball better and better and better as the day went on.”

On Friday, frost delayed play until just after 11 a.m. — 94 minutes after the scheduled start that was already nearly two hours later than normal. Only half the field finished the first round Thursday after a four-hour morning delay.

The delays — costing a total of 7 hours, 24 minutes of playing time — will force most of the second round to today, setting up a marathon finish Sunday.

MMA vets Franklin, Griffin meet at UFC 126

By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer

Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin are two of the UFC’s favorite veteran light heavyweights. Jon Jones and Ryan Bader are perhaps the top two young prospects in that weight class.

Their bouts at UFC 126 tonight could establish a new order in the division, or they might simply be two highly entertaining brawls on the UFC’s stacked Super Bowl weekend card at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Franklin (28-5) and Griffin (17-6) are both former champions with devoted fan followings and similarly cerebral approaches to a visceral sport, yet they’ve never met in the octagon.

Franklin and Griffin even are mistaken for each other on occasion, but that might change after they trade punches.

“Clearly, they’re not going to confuse us when we’re actually standing next to each other, because Forrest is much bigger than me in person,” said Franklin, the former math teacher from Cincinnati. “I don’t know what kind of fight to expect with this whole thing. You know me, I’m going to walk out and do my thing.

I walk to the center of octagon and I start throwing punches and kicks, and Forrest is typically the same kind of fighter.”

Franklin hasn’t fought since breaking a bone in his left arm while blocking a kick from Chuck Liddell last June.

Top of the Class?

• Strong field vying for ’11 Pro Football Hall of Fame

By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

DALLAS — Three of the NFL’s top 10 career rushers and one of its most dynamic cornerbacks lead a star-studded group of candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Curtis Martin, Jerome Bettis and Marshall Faulk are the running backs eligible for the first time for induction into the Canton, Ohio, hall. Defensive back Deion Sanders also is a first-time contender, along with tackle Willie Roaf.

It’s quite a collection for voters to consider Saturday — and those are just the players who reached eligibility this year.

Holdovers include wide receivers Tim Brown, Cris Carter and Andre Reed; tight end Shannon Sharpe; center Dermontti Dawson; defensive ends Richard Dent, Chris Doleman and Charles Haley; defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy; senior nominees Chris Hanburger and Les Richter, both linebackers; and NFL Films founder Ed Sabol as a contributor.

At least four and a maxi-

FOOTBALL mum of seven nominees can be elected. If six or seven make it, two must be senior nominees.

Sanders won two Super Bowls and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1994. He had 53 career interceptions and also was an outstanding kick returner. In his 14 NFL seasons, Sanders scored 18 touchdowns on returns, and played some wide receiver.

“I didn’t play the game to go to the Hall of Fame,” Sanders said. “That’s not the way I thought. I played the game so I could take care of my mama for the rest of her life.

“You play the game because you enjoy the game.

You play the game because of what it brings to you and your emotions.”

Sanders was an emotional player known almost as much for his celebratory dances as his play.

“I think people on the outside, they get caught up in that persona of ‘Prime Time,’ and they forget that Deion

Sanders is a (terrific) football player and did a lot of things in this league,” former Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks said. “I think Deion did a good job of bringing fun back to the NFL.” Sanders is willing to campaign for someone: Faulk.

“I hope and I pray that if I’m blessed enough to go into the hall, then I want to go in there holding his hand,” Sanders said. “I love him that much as a friend. He’s that kind of a guy.”

In Faulk’s 12 seasons, he won a championship in 1999 with St. Louis, was the league’s MVP the next year, and, perhaps most impressive, took Offensive Player of the Year honors in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Martin ranks fourth in career rushing with 14,101 yards and had an amazing 10 straight 1,000-yard years. He led the NFL in rushing in 2004 and was the heart of the New York Jets for eight years after three seasons with New England in which Martin won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1995 — one season after Faulk won it.

NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte kept putting off a final decision, until his wife told him in late January that it was time.

“I was starting to get a little irritable,” he said. “And so she basically booted me and said, ‘Go figure this out.”’

So he drove four hours from his home in Deer Park, Texas, to his ranch near the Mexican border.

“I’m going to play,” he remembered thinking.

“The fans, the Yankees need me to play. I’m going to play. My wife supports it.

My kids support it.”

And then he thought some more.

“When I digged deep down in and I did some soul-searching — I don’t even know how to explain,” he said. “It wasn’t there. It wasn’t there like I wanted it to be there.”

He returned home, then took his family to the ranch, waiting to make sure there was no more wavering. On Tuesday night, he called Brian Cashman to give the general manager the verdict: One of the most accomplished

BASEBALL pitching careers in Yankees history was over. Pettitte was retiring after 16 major league seasons, 13 in pinstripes and five of those ending with World Series titles.

With his wife, Laura, sitting by his side in the Yankee Stadium press room, Pettitte spent nearly two hours Friday talking in his Texas twang about the pressure he felt to return, of a “tremendous obligation” he felt after Cliff Lee spurned the Yankees for Philadelphia. Just like the fans, the left-hander knows his retirement leaves New York with a rotation of CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes, A.J. Burnett, ? & ?

At 38, his hair around the temples is gray and white.

His back, elbow and groin ached during the season, but his 11-3 record was sufficient proof that he could deal with it.

The fire, however, to compete from April through October had vanished, a realization that grew on him during the two months he spent on the disabled list with a leg injury last summer.

Goodell wants deal done soon College players adjust to new bats AP Source:

AP Pro Football Writer

DALLAS — Chad Ochocinco asked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell the question all his fellow players want answered: How far away are we from realistically getting a labor deal done?

Goodell hopes it can be done “in the next few weeks,” meaning before the collective bargaining agreement expires March 3.

“I can tell you the commitment on behalf of the ownership is on getting an agreement,” Goodell said. “I think that’s only going to happen when there’s intense negotiations from your union and the owners. This is the window of opportunity to get this done right. Otherwise, uncertainty is going to seep into all of our operations. ... I say, let’s get to work, let’s get an agreement that works for everybody.”

Goodell and union officials are scheduled to meet Saturday in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the first formal bargaining session since November.

Two more sessions have been scheduled for next week, at an undisclosed location.

NFLPA spokesman George Atallah described the meeting as “a window of opportunity” and added: “We intend to go in there with

Union, agents talk boycott

DALLAS — The NFL players union has discussed a boycott of the scouting combine later this month with player agents.

Two people familiar with the talks tell The Associated Press the union has suggested keeping potential 2011 draft picks away from the combine in Indianapolis and from other draft-related activities while there is no collective bargaining agreement. The people spoke anonymously because they are not authorized to give out the information.

Such a boycott could jeopardize the draft status of those players, who are not yet members of the union.

And with CBA negotiations including a possible rookie wage scale, such a move could be detrimental to college players entering the league.

open minds and open ears.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to set any expectation, other than the fact that we intend to sit down and continue to have a discussion that should guarantee football for our fans, football for our players,” NFLPA executive direc-

tor DeMaurice Smith said Thursday.

Goodell repeatedly mentioned needing “intensive, around-the-clock negotiations to address the issues and find solutions.”

“I can assure you that I have that sense of urgency,” Goodell said. “There are enough incentives for all of us to get to the table and get a deal done.”

Extending the regular season by two games to 18 is among the major issues.

The main issues between the owners and players union include how to divide about $9 billion in annual revenues; the owners’ push to expand the regular season to 18 games; a rookie wage scale; and benefits for retired players.

A lockout is widely expected, although Goodell said owners are only “committed to a deal that works and is fair to the clubs.”

“Status quo is not acceptable,” he said. “We have to address these issues going forward. ... The pendulum has shifted too far in one direction.”

He called the union’s request for teams to open up their financial records a negotiating ploy, and said a brewing dustup over whether teams can name franchise players could be headed to court.

STANFORD, Calif. — Travis Higgs used to hit at least seven home runs during a 40-minute session of batting practice. Using one of college baseball’s new, safer metal bats this week, he cleared the fence just once.

That’s fine with the University of San Francisco catcher, and his coach.

Same with Dons pitcher Matt Hiserman, who survived a life-threatening skull fracture last February when he was hit with a line drive during an intrasquad game.

Many college players have been swinging the new bats since fall workouts, getting a feel for what it’s like to have the sweet spot shrink from some 22 inches to barely more than 5. Coaches and players figure power numbers and batting averages will be worse this spring and ERAs much improved in the initial season as everybody adjusts.

Pure hitters should still get their share of home runs.

“A bat’s a bat,” said Stanford freshman infielder Bri-

an Ragira, a 30th-round draft pick by his hometown Texas Rangers who chose to go to college. “If you square the ball up with this bat, it’s still going to go out.”

While the bats play closer to their wooden counterparts minus the weight and mass, they also are designed to decrease the exit speeds of the ball off the bat. The average speed had been considered 93 mph, but many hits were coming off at rates of 100103 mph and making for dangerous situations in which players had little or no time to react or protect themselves.

The new bats must meet a standard called the BallBat Coefficient of Restitution — or BBCOR. California high schools are already going to these bats, while the rest of the country has another year to use the older, lightweight composite models.

College teams began formal practices this week, with many playing their first games Feb. 18.

“I think it’s the biggest adjustment on offense that our game will ever see,” said 13th-year USF coach Nino Giarratano.

Bedlam:Unfriendly confines Snow: • Continued from Page B1 were just excited about it.

They’re a good team, it’s going to be a great atmosphere.”

It’s one the Sooners (12-9, 4-3 Big 12) have handled well over the last four years.

They’re 2-2 on OSU’s home court during Capel’s tenure.

Although, the last meeting in Stillwater turned into a 9776 rout by the Cowboys.

What happened last season won’t affect what happens today. What will have an affect is the Sooners’ poise. It is something they’ve developed since Big 12 play began. They’ve been able to play in hostile environments and hold their own.

Breaking through with a victory over at Iowa State last Saturday provided a confidence boost. Winning at Oklahoma State (15-7, 3-5) is a whole different situation.

A lot of that pressure will be on Blair’s shoulders. The sophomore has averaged 13 points and 5.5 assists over the last four games. But he’s also averaged 4.25 turnovers during that span.

Oklahoma at Okla. State Time/Place: 12:30 p.m. today, at Gallagher-Iba Arena, Stillwater Records/Rankings: Oklahoma 12-9, 4-3 Big 12/unranked; Oklahoma State 15-7, 3-5 Big 12/unranked Oklahoma starters: F 4 Andrew Fitzgerald (6-8, 231, So., 13.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg); G 2 Steven Pledger (6-4, 212, So., 12.4 ppg, 2.2 apg); G 14 Carl Blair (6-2, 209, So., 7.5 ppg, 4.5 apg); G 21 Cameron Clark (6-6, 189, Fr., 10.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg) G 34 Cade Davis (6-5, 209, Sr., 12.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg) Oklahoma State starters: F 25 Darrell Williams (6-8, 255, Jr., 6.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg); F 33 Marshall Moses (6-7, 255, Sr., 15.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg); G 0 Jéan-Paul Olukemi (6-5, 215, So., 11.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg); G 12 Keiton Page (6-4, 190, Sr., 14.0 ppg, 1.8 apg); G 22 Markel Brown (6-3, 190, Fr., 5.7 ppg, 2.0 rpg) Series: OU leads 126-92 TV: KOCB34-11 Radio: KRXO-FM 107.7 Webcast: ESPN3.com

The play of the point guard has always been a huge part of handling hostile environments. Blair didn’t need to be reminded.

“I have to control the game and have as few turnovers as I possibly can,” Blair said.

In other words, he has to keep the Sooners playing like they have over the last four games.

Poise is the key. When OU’s played with it, it has shown it can beat good

teams in rowdy road environments. Few are tougher than what the Sooners will face today.

“We know it’s a tough place to play. There’s obviously a lot of tradition there at Gallagher-Iba. It’s a place that we respect,” Capel said.

“We’ve played well there.

Hopefully, we can do it again Saturday.”

Oklahoma’s Danielle Robinson shoots in front of Baylor’s Brittney Griner and Odyssey Sims in the first half of Wednesday’s game in Waco, Texas.

Women:Cyclones can shoot • Continued from Page B1 (16-5, 4-3 Big 12) have spent the season in the top 25 and will arrive today as No. 22.

“They’ve always been tough,” Sooner point guard Danielle Robinson said.

But while OU (16-5, 6-2) needs to overcome the Cyclones, considering what happened last Wednesday in Waco, Texas, it may also have to overcome itself.

The Sooners met No. 1 Baylor and returned home a 92-70 loser, only the game wasn’t nearly so close. At one point, the Bears led 68-28.

“We thought we were prepared,” OU forward Carlee Roethlisberger said of the experience. “They hit a couple of shots and then we had our head down.”

When the Sooners looked up, they were beaten.

Today, Iowa State will be what it’s been since coach Bill Fennelly first put the Cyclones on the women’s basketball map more than a decade ago — a poised, disciplined team with a whole bunch of shooters.

The question is whether or not OU can be what it’s been over the years and most of this season until it ran into top-ranked Baylor.

OU shouldn’t have some of the issues it dealt with in Waco simply by virtue of a change in personnel.

In two games last season against Baylor, Brittney Griner blocked 22 Sooner shots. Three days ago, Griner only blocked two shots, but the Sooners played as though she was always looming.

“We were just all out of sync. Really passive and not aggressive,” Robinson said.

“Right out of the gate (today) we have to be the aggressor.”

A year ago, the Sooners worst loss came on their home court, a 75-57 loss to Red River rival Texas. But it wound up being the turning

point to the Sooner season.

In the return game, OU won 75-60 at Texas.

There’s hope everything will get better after being humbled by the Bears.

“If you’re going to have a turning point, you don’t want to have a loss worse than that,” Roethlisberger said.

Or any loss at all.

Today, guard Whitney Hand believes, is very simple.

“You turn the page,” she said. “You’re upset, you’re disappointed, you’re heartbroken, so know we just have to go and take all of it out on Iowa State.”

McCarthy Teams expects injured used to it Driver to play • Continued from Page B1

Texas Department of Transportation said keeping them clear was an ongoing slog, with crews working all night to improve safety.

“It was a challenge to keep up when the snow kept coming this morning,” said spokeswoman Jodi Hodges. “We’re definitely going to have to go back over the highways we plowed.”

Dallas was feeling the chill with the mercury resting at about 20 degrees Friday, forcing organizers of at least one celebrity-filled Super Bowl event to move their Saturday celebrations inside.

One hotel gift shop was selling ski hats and scarves alongside the usual cowboy hats.

But the chilly temperatures were not expected to faze the teams competing in the real event, nor their hardy fans, who are used to cooler climates; the temperature Friday in Pittsburgh stood at 20, while Green Bay was a slightly lower 17.

“We’re kind of used to inclement weather,” said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. “At least from my perspective, it hasn’t changed how we’ve worked at all.”

Asked if the poor weather could affect future Super Bowl bids in North Texas — and perhaps elsewhere — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell pointed out that the conditions this year have been exceptional.

“We’ve had a winter to remember. Some would say to forget,” Goodell said, noting that much of the nation ground to a halt because of this week’s storm. “It’s going to be a great weekend for us, and the weather’s getting better.”

The Super Bowl is scheduled to be played in Indianapolis next year and in the open-air New Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey in 2014.

American Airlines said it is doing all it can to ensure football fans make it to Dallas, regardless of the weather. American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said the carrier added 12 extra flights from Pittsburgh and airports near Green Bay for people coming to the game.

“We are putting extra effort to operate our flights in from Chicago today to keep the Super Bowl-oriented traffic moving,” he said.

By Chris Jenkins AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Donald Driver waited 12 seasons to play in a Super Bowl, so Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t see any way a quadriceps injury will keep the veteran wide receiver on the sideline.

McCarthy said he will be “shocked” if Driver isn’t on the field when the Packers face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Cowboys Stadium on Sunday.

“He would practice today if I would let him,” McCarthy said Friday. “He tweaked it in Wednesday’s practice, and frankly I just do not want to take any chances at this point. So I will hold Donald from practice again today. Donald’s played a lot of football, he knows the offense, he’s had a whole week of preparation with the plan last week, so this is clearly just being safe.”

The Packers added Driver to their injury report Thursday, listing him as limited in practice. Driver missed a game earlier this season because of a quadriceps injury.

McCarthy said the week has gone smoothly for his team, although several inch-

S U P E R B O W L X LV es of snow falling in the Dallas area Thursday night into Friday morning could cause delays as players’ families try to get in for the game.

McCarthy was a few minutes late for his news conference presumably because of the weather.

Given the fact that this is the first Super Bowl for most Packers players, McCarthy turned to Hollywood to drive home the point that a football game is a football game — even when it’s played on a bigger stage.

McCarthy showed the team a scene from the movie “Hoosiers” where Gene Hackman’s character measures the dimensions of the court in an attempt to convince his small-town high school basketball team that playing in a large venue isn’t much different than playing in their own gym.

“Everybody loves the movie Hoosiers, where the basketball team walks into the arena and they measure the foul line and it’s 15 feet, and they measure the hoop and it’s 10 feet, and everybody goes ‘OK, it’s big in here,”’ McCarthy said.

“That’s our approach.”

Steelers C Pouncey out for Super Bowl DALLAS — Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey has been ruled out of the Super Bowl with a high left ankle sprain.

The rookie Pro Bowl selection sprained the ankle in the AFC championship game and has not practiced since. Backup Doug Legursky will play in his place Sunday, in what will be his first NFL start as a center.

Coach Mike Tomlin had said earlier Friday that Pouncey would not play if he could not participate in the team’s last practice before the game against the Green Bay Packers.

Defensive end Aaron Smith will also not play. He has been out since Oct. 24 with a torn triceps muscle and has been limited in practice.

Alder on Bridge Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011

By Phillip Alder H.E. Martz said, “He who builds a better mousetrap these days runs into material shortages, patentinfringement suits, work stoppages, collusive bidding, discount discrimination — and taxes.”

We have been looking at deals in which declarer has to decide whether to play high or low from the dummy at the first trick. In this example, West leads the heart king against your contract of five clubs.

What would you do?

West opened three hearts, showing a good seven-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. After two passes, you sensibly jumped to five clubs.

Remember, when you come into the auction after an opponent opens with a high-level pre-empt, assume partner has 6 or 7 high-card points. And here, if he has a stronger hand than that, he can contemplate bidding six clubs.

(Yes, a three-no-trump overcall would have worked well, but not many would have been willing to take that gamble.)

You have 11 top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and seven clubs.

Can anything go wrong?

Yes, if East has no hearts. And the bidding

tells you that he is void.

West announced seven, dummy has five, and you hold a singleton. If you call for dummy’s heart ace, you know that East will ruff and your 11th trick will evaporate. What is the solution?

Just play low from the dummy at trick one. West will presumably continue with the heart queen. Play low from the dummy again and ruff in your hand, draw trumps, and take those 11 winners.

Don’t be deaf to the auction or blind to the possibilities.

Winter weather can be relentless. Ice, snow, and sleet in their many forms mean homeowners can find themselves homebound.

Outlined below are ten easy steps that can help your family make it through a winter snow-in.

1. Keep warm: Temperatures can drop

well below zero during major winter storms. If your electricity fails, do you have a backup plan to keep warm? Blankets, warm clothing, and firewood are all great things to have on hand.

2. Water: We can survive on limited food, but we and our pets must have water.

Have bottled or jugged water on hand

in the case of emergency.

3. Non-perishable food: If you go without electricity, you may find yourself being unable to store food.

Stock up on non-perishables before a big storm. And then buy plenty of fruits and vegetables that can keep without refrigeration.

4. Crank radio: You may need to listen to

6. Sidewalks: Be sure to have a snow shovel and a bag of sand on hand before any big storm. You'll need to clear your driveway as well as sand your walkways. There is nothing worse than taking a spill on ice.

7. Candles and lighter/matches: If lights are out, you'll still need candles or a flashlight to find your (con’t. on page 5)

Green living: Alternatives to bottled water

By Carla Hill RealtyTimes.com

The bottled water craze took hold over a decade ago, and since its start, consumption has skyrocketed. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), "More than half of all Americans drink bottled water; about a third of the public consumes it regularly. Sales have tripled in the past 10 years,

to about $4 billion a year."

However, from misuse of water mining rights, to concerns over water quality and plastic safety, this inspired idea is beginning to wane in the minds of many critics.

If you and your household are consumers of bottled water, consider these facts that recent studies have brought to light. They just may help make your home a little greener.

of America's top-selling brands barely had passing grades: 1. Pure Life Purified Water (Nestle), EWG grade = B 2. Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water (Nestle), EWG grade = C 3. Aquafina Purified Drinking Water (Pepsi), EWG grade = D 4. Dasani Purified Water (Coca-Cola), EWG grade = D 5. Deer Park Natural

First, the quality of bottled water has been brought under scrutiny.

According to the Environmental Working Group's senior vice-president, Jane Houlihan, bottled water companies are hiding information that would shock many consumers.

When tested in comparison to bottled waters, the EWG found that "filtered tap water received the best grade (an A.") According to Yahoo!, 10

Water (con’t. from page 6)

today's economy, bottled water can be as much as 1,900 times more expensive than tap water.

It seems as if quality filtered water and it's inherent benefits have been confused for bottled water. Tap water of local municipalities is under strict government regulation. They regularly test for many harmful contaminants.

Yet, according to the NRDC, "The FDA's rules completely exempt 60-70 percent of the bottled water sold in the United States from the agency's bottled water standards, because FDA says its rules do not apply to water packaged and sold within the same state. Nearly 40 states say they do regulate such waters (generally with few or no resources

dedicated to policing this); therefore, about one out of five states do not. " In a NRDC test, 1/3 of bottled waters contained "significant contamination." What does this mean? That is "levels of chemical or bacterial contaminants exceeding those allowed under a state or industry standard or guideline." Many of these contaminants are known cancer causing agents.

And if that weren't bad enough, bottled water use consumes a large amount of oil simply in it's packaging. Additionally, plastic bottles take 1,000 years to biodegrade (MSNBC).

And millions of them end up in landfills, and unfortunately the ocean each year. Only 27 percent of bottled end up recycled. (earth911.com) Here are just a few "green" options to try in your home:

Whole House Filtration System: These cost around $750 and mean that not only is your drinking water filtered, but the water you wash your dishes and shower in as well!

Be sure to research brands before buying, however, since there are brands that outperform their competitors.

Faucet filtration: These systems connect directly to your faucet and cost under $25.00. They have filters that needs changed every 6 months.

Filtered Water Pitcher: Research has shown that pitchers don't filter out as many contaminants as faucet systems, but they are a great option for busy families or offices without regular access to water. You can fill it up once and use it all day!

Reusable Bottles: And finally, for "on the go" water drinkers, be sure to invest in a reusable bottle.

You can choose from

either stainless steel water bottles or BPA free bottles. They cost $10 or less for basic varieties and will allow you to take water to the office and in the car.

Spare bedroom, hobby studio or man cave? Create a dream basement (ARA) - It’s no longer a dark, gloomy place to stash holiday supplies, store neglected exercise equipment or hide out-of-date furniture.

Basements are becoming “dream spaces” for many baby boomers and their loved ones.

Whether it’s a private living suite to accommodate a child or grandchild who’s moved back home, a cheerful craft studio or a fully loaded man cave, basement renovations are popular home improvement options.

“Today many baby boomers are remodeling their homes instead of building or moving to a new one,” says Pella Windows & Doors spokesperson, Kathy Krafka Harkema.

“Kitchens and bathrooms are often remodeled, and today basements are also being updated to create fun entertainment zones.

Adding new windows and using warm colors can transform a basement into a home gym, workshop, wine cellar or a high-tech media

room.”

Safety first Renovating the basement and adding bedrooms? You’ll likely need egress windows to create an easily accessible exit in case of a fire.

Essential for safety, egress (emergency escape and rescue) windows also lighten up a dark basement - making it more inviting.

Egress windows are larger than a common basement window, syas Cordell Burton, Pella product qualification manager.

Egress defines the minimum width, height and square footage of the window opening. “Each level of the home has different egress requirements,” Burton says.

Window shopping Casement windows featuring one hinged sash that cranks out are easy to open and a popular choice for basements, Burton says.

However, casements require a wider window well on the home exterior, so consider that in your remodeling plans.

Pella offers many energy-efficient casement window options, ranging from vinyl and fiberglass composite to wood styles.

If exterior space is limited, Burton suggests a sliding window featuring two sashes where one sash slides

left or right. Sliding egress windows must meet higher width requirements and are available in budgetfriendly vinyl and fiberglass options.

Consult with a local building code expert or make sure your contractor is familiar with your area’s building codes before beginning a basement renovation, Burton advises.

Wonderful walkouts If your home has a walkout basement, consider adding a beautiful new patio door to create an impressive focal point inside and out.

Here’s an additional tip from Burton: If you have limited patio space outside, install an inswing hinged patio door - one that opens into

your basement, providing more usable space on the patio. Consider your climate conditions as well. In areas with heavy snowfall, an inswing hinged patio door may be your best option. But if you have limited room inside, consider an out-swing hinged door.

Or opt for sliding patio doors, like the energy-efficient new Pella 350 Series vinyl patio door line, which features distinctive design possibilities with a choice of two-, threeor four-panel doors to create more natural light and an expanded view. Optional shades or blinds are permanently sealed between the glass to stay clean, provide light control

and increased privacy.

And the blind design with no room-side cords is safer for homes with children and pets.

Keep it comfortable As you create your dream basement, ask your contractor to incorporate universal design features.

“Update your home now with your future safety, comfort and convenience in mind,” Krafka Harkema says.

“Adding 36-inch wide doors, stylish levers rather than knobs on doors, easy-access storage areas and other universal design features now can make a home easier to live in or visit in the long-term, regardless of a person’s age, size or ability.”

Should I buy a home now?

By Phoebe Chongchua RealtyTimes.com

The Zillow Home Value Index fell 26% since its peak in June 2006. That’s a greater decline than seen in the Depression-era years of 1928 to 1933.

According to Zillow.com, "November marked the 53rd consecutive month of home value declines, with the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) falling 0.8% from October to November, and falling 5.1% year-overyear.”

But the news isn’t all bad. If you’ve gathered around the office water cooler to catch up with colleagues, maybe you’ve noticed a bit of optimism blossoming. it’s not just a feeling, it’s real.

According to Zillow Research, the economy is improving. The improvement is expected to gradually increase "household formation and consumer confidence”.

But the housing market may still face

greater declines due to "excess inventory of homes, high negative equity and foreclosure rates, and weakened demand due to elevated unemployment,” reported Zillow.com.

However, if you’ve been watching, waiting, and wondering, when to buy ... .

Now’s the time to take note.

While no one has a crystal ball to predict what will happen with the housing market, some experts are reporting that an uptrend will occur later this year. They’re basing their beliefs on the job market (some predictions indicate it will improve half-way through this year), and "Homebuilder exchange traded funds are above their

200-day moving averages,” according to ETFTrends.com If all these things have you confused, a simple way to look at real estate is to understand your specific needs,

wants, and long-term goals.

Do you need a place to live? Are you planning to stay in your home for at least a couple of years? (Most buyers live in their home on

average seven years).

Does owning your home matter? Have you saved money for a downpayment?

Answering these questions will help point you in

the right direction. Assuming that buying a home is the best scenario for you, how can you rest easy that you’re getting the best price? Ah, the

$64-million question.

You can’t.

Timing the market is like trying to win the lottery. There is no absolute way to know when it’s the bottom of the real estate market. That’s why you must know your specific needs,

wants, and longterm goals.

If your needs include a home to live in for a lengthy period of time, then homeownership will likely rank higher on your priority list. If building credit, potential of appreciation–yes,

there is still appreciation–especially when you buy a sensibly priced home in a good location. However, the appreciation may be slower and not shoot up into the double digits that we saw in some areas.

Consider this, with high inventory, sellers are motivated. You can scoop up a home at a perfect price and you can minimize your potential for low appreciation. If you choose a home that is in the lower-tier of prices (and still within your target price), your home will be less vulnerable in down markets and better situated in up markets because the higherpriced homes help elevate your home’s value.

Homeownership has many benefits including tax deductions, the opportunity to make your own creative changes to your home, and the potential for income if you later rent it out.

Warm up to an affordably luxurious bathroom this season (ARA) - With the advent of summer still several months away, the comfort of a hot bath or invigorating shower continues to be something to look forward to every day. However, in many ways, the bathroom can be a frigid place on a cold late-winter or early-spring day. In fact, it often may feel like the coldest room in the house thanks to all of that impersonal chrome, porcelain and tile.

But, it doesn’t have to

be. It’s possible to warm up even the chilliest bathroom, even on the tightest of redecorating budgets.

As you plan your bathroom revamp, start by looking right under your feet. Many bathroom floors are made from ceramic tile or natural stone, such as marble.

Sure, these hard-surface elements look nice, but they also can feel downright icy on your bare feet, not to mention hard and slippery when wet.

Tarkett’s FiberFloor Easy Living Classic resilient flooring in Savanna Flagstone Fossil beautifully provides warmth underfoot.

With 207 designs in distinctive colors and textures, including authentic-looking tile and stone, Tarkett FiberFloor provides the beauty of natural flooring with enhanced durability.

“Today’s fiber-backed

resilient sheet flooring products aren’t your grandmother’s vinyl,” says Gary Finseth, director of marketing for Tarkett Residential. “The latest options, like FiberFloor, a Consumers Digest Best Buy, offer

style and durability at a price that doesn’t break the budget. These floors are warm and soft underfoot, and they resist scuffs, scratches, indentations and water. The result is they are perfect for any bath.”

Warmth, however, goes beyond flooring.

Fluffy towels, plush bathmats and a sumptuous velvet shower curtain will add a sense of rich warmth to the space.

Wall color also plays a role. Light and airy colors, while beautiful, definitely do not convey a sense of comfort.

Instead, paint your walls an unexpectedly rich color to create a welcoming, cozy atmosphere. Bear in mind that warm colors can make a bathroom look smaller, so be sure to use a soft white as an accent to balance out whatever deep tone you select. For instance, Dutch Boy’s Treaded Grapes offers a splash of color and welcoming personality in a deep, classic purple tone. Paint your bathroom walls with this leading 2011 color trend and offset the statement with Narrative Creamcolored molding and accessories to create a warm yet open space.

And of course, a quality shower can easily warm up your body as well as your mood. But don’t settle for just any

showerhead. Update your shower with a new multi-setting showerhead, such as the Moen Nurture eco-performance model. This EPA WaterSense-labeled product offers superior full-body coverage and three different spray settings for an exhilarating experience - all while protecting natural resources.

Heated towel racks — once luxury items — now are available at affordable prices for any bathroom, offering floormounted, wall-mounted, hard-wired and pluggedin options. Imagine the luxury of wrapping yourself in a thick, toasty towel the moment you step out of the shower.

This can easily become reality.

Another warming luxury, the overhead heat light, has come a long way over the years. Now you have the option of getting that infrared warmth from a standardsized bulb instead of the oversized versions of the past. They provide instantaneous heating.

Talk with your electrician to see what options would best work in your bathroom.

With so many options to warm up your bathroom’s decor to fit a wide range of budgets, there is no reason to deny yourself the luxury of a cozy, spa-like escape at home.

From blinds to draft dodgers, simple ways to improve your home insulation (ARA) - When the wind whips outside your home and temperatures plummet, you may start to think of your home’s insulation and wonder if it’s adequate. While many people equate the idea of insulation with staying warm in winter, did you know your home’s insulation can also help keep you cool in summer? And reduce your energy bills in any season?

There’s more to home insulation than just that layer of pink stuff in the attic. From weather stripping around doors and windows to the type of blinds you choose, your home’s insulation has many components, all of which can help you save energy when heating and cooling your home.

Sealing and insulating your home can save you up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs (up to 10 percent of a home’s total annual energy bill), according to EnergyStar.gov.

Whether you’re fighting winter’s chill or try-

ing to keep your cool in the summer, these energy saving tips will help improve your home’s overall insulation from roof to basement and reduce energy bills: Attic Take a look at the insulation in your attic.

Fiberglass batting is the most common type of insulation used in attics and walls. To determine if you need more insulation in your attic, look at the attic floor, and if you can clearly see the attic floor joists because the insulation is level with them or below them,

you probably need to add more insulation, according to EnergyStar.gov.

Adding fiberglass batting is a relatively easy job, well within the capabilities of most do-it-yourselfers. Just be sure that the batting fits snugly into wherever you’re placing it, without the need to compress it to make it fit.

Also, while you’re in the attic, take a look at the ducts for your forced-air heating and cooling system. Leaks and poorly sealed connections can allow 20 percent of the air that

moves through the ducts to escape, EnergyStar.gov reports.

While you may need a professional to seal ducts that are hidden in walls and floor spaces, you easily can seal exposed ducts yourself by using a duct sealant.

Windows Poorly sealed windows can make your home drafty and uncomfortable. In fact, some estimates indicate your home may lose as much as 30 percent of its heating or cooling energy through leaky, drafty windows.

Sealing windows can be time consuming but not difficult. You’ll need caulk and weatherstripping to seal air leaks throughout your home. Weatherstripping materials include felt, foam, vinyl and metal. Whatever material you choose, be sure it will hold up well with friction, weather and temperature changes.

Another cost-effective, easy DIY way to improve your windows’ energy efficiency is to insulate them with the right kind of blinds or cell shades. Certain blinds and shades trap expensive heat in and block solar heat in the summer. Shades that are made from a single piece of material that can’t tilt open or closed are better insulators because heating and cooling can’t escape through the slats. Cell shades are an insulating option that isn’t just pretty, it’s also practical. The term “cell” describes each visible side pocket on a honeycomb shade, according to Blinds.com. The more cells in a shade, the

more energy savings it will provide. The larger the cell size, the better the insulation since the cells trap air in the pockets, which helps prevent extreme temperature changes in your home.

Doors Doors are also a potential energy drain for your home. Just as you caulk and seal windows, you need to ensure doors are well sealed and not drafty.

In addition to weatherstripping, a door sweep, which you install on the bottom of a door to reduce drafts, can help conserve energy.

If you’re more of a crafts person than handyman, you can make an old-fashioned draft-dodger that lays along the floor at the bottom of a door and blocks drafts like a door sweep would.

Improving your home’s insulation can be an easy, cost-effective way to improve your home’s comfort all year round - and to reap significant savings on energy bills no matter what the season.

How to make your deck an outdoor living room (ARA) - Nothing beats relaxing in the shade or entertaining a group of guests on your own private deck.

When you take the time to plan your deck for the way you live, the result can be a versatile living space and a value-boosting addition to your home.

Trent Boozer, publisher of Extreme HowTo magazine, notes his readers have made it clear that decks are one of the top projects they love to design and build. The Internet is full of deck plans and planning tools - and with the range of decking products and accessories on the market, every deck can take on a personality of its own, he says.

Personalization is what makes the deck an extension of the home, says Rick Preble of Deckorators, the leading deck accessory brand that embraces the concept of deck personalization.

“The idea of an outdoor living room has really materialized as people have reattached to their existing homes,” says Preble. A cost-effective way to add square footage and upgrade your lifestyle without moving is with a deck. With all the deck products and

Personalizing your deck has become possible thanks to constant product innovations, like Deckorators Postcover and Duo-Connector deck railing accessories.

accessories available today, homeowners can customize their outdoor rooms.”

Deckorators has made the process of mixing and matching different deck accessories and building materials easy with a new, easy-to-use online design program: the Deckorators’ Deck Visualizer. The online tool is free and provides homeowners a way to visually discover the different design options they like best for personalizing a deck.

The Deck Visualizer allows the user to set

the virtual deck environment to a lake or backyard view and then change the deck accessories for limitless combinations.

Users can select the color or grain of composite or wood decking, select the style of metal or even glass balusters, add baluster infill centerpieces, change railing colors, and add post caps, lighting options and even stone.

“This deck design program is fun for homeowners to use and is a great tool for deck planning,” says Preble. “We work with

hundreds of deck builders, and they appreciate having this when working with clients. It allows both consumers and deck builders to visualize different options and choose deck products prior to constructing a deck.”

The North American Deck and Railing Association website (nadra.org) is another good place for consumers to start when gathering information for a deck build. The organization has a large gallery of photographs of decks that have received national

awards for design or construction.

Michael Beaudry, executive vice president of NADRA, says consumers are definitely hungry for deck design ideas and information on new products. NADRA offers resources to help consumers with deck and rail design and deck safety. The organization’s website also provides access to more than 1,750 different building products companies.

Homeowners who want to build or who are renovating an existing deck will find new

trends for 2011. One material making its move onto decks is stone.

Deckorators cast stone Postcovers, which install over rail posts, are one new product in high demand. The postcovers provide the same look and feel as natural stone columns, but are designed to install over basic wood posts.

Postcovers are handpainted to look like cobblestone, fieldstone or stacked stone. The simulated product costs far less than real masonry work and makes it possible for do-it-yourselfers or contractors to add simulated stone columns to a deck.

“Stone or simulated stone on a deck has become possible with new products, and it’s another example of interior design trends and the mixing of various elements making their way to outdoor living areas,” Preble says.

Experts agree that putting the time into planning your deck up front and knowing what your product options are is the best way to ensure you end up with a space your family will embrace as a true outdoor living room.

Winter lawn care

By Carla Hill

RealtyTimes.com

Winter may have your lawn looking less than stellar. To keep your neighbors happy -- and potential buyers interested -- take a look at these lawn care tips.

Why is winter lawn care so important? By taking a few precautions during the Winter, you can ensure a healthy lawn come Springtime.

The first, and perhaps easiest, step is to pick up any leaves that cover your lawn. If left sitting over grass, they will create dead spots.

The same goes for clutter and debris, such as toys. You may think that grass is completely dormant during Winter months, however, grass still needs oxygen and sunlight to maintain life. If you have it covered, you

have it smothered.

The next step, do not drive on the grass.

Winter is a time for holiday parties and family get-togethers.

Many people may be tempted to park on lawns. Resist the urge!

You can take lawn care two steps further, as well.

If your lawn has pH issues, now is the time to treat it with lime and other additives.

Contact your local lawn specialist for more information.

Late Winter is also the time to aerate your lawn. What is aerating? By making small holes in the surface of your lawn, you allow for deeper root growth. You also allow nutrients to gain direct access to the grass roots. This should give you a fuller, thicker lawn.

Follow these simple steps and wake up to a beautiful Spring lawn.

Need it? Get it!

Whether it’s a work truck, a used workbench or an entire handyman, if you need it, odds are we’ve got it in The Norman Transcript’s Classified Marketplace!
