Some precipitation — likely morerain than winter mix — is expected dur-ing the day Tuesday, with temperaturesnear or above freezing, Maxwell said.

“Everything then starts to go down-hill Tuesday evening,” she said, addingthat there’s a chance for a winter mixTuesday evening.

According to the radar Sunday after-noon, the height of the storm in Nor-man will be Wednesday morning, whenit transitions from a winter mix to blow-ing snow.

Maxwell said it is anticipated to bewindy Wednesday with a wind chill ofminus 5 degrees at 15 to 25 miles perhour, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour

From the top deck of a boatcruising along the Nile River to theAswan Botanical Garden in Egypt,Kathy Hallren watched the riots ofthe anti-government protests —totaling 13 days of unrest as of Sun-day — and heard the launch of teargas.

And that was the last time Hall-ren and her husband, Martin,along with 30 other tourists, left theboat for four days.

The tourists were rerouted to

Istanbul, their16-day Egypt-ian tour wascurtailed, andthey returnedstateside with-out visiting thepyramids.

“Therewere somepeople whowere a little panicky, but I never feltin any danger,” said Kathy Hallren,who, along with her dad, ownsJoe’s Place, 1330 Alamada St. inNorman.

Kathy and Martin, of Woodward,left Jan. 25 for Egypt and shouldhave been on a plane back to Okla-homa City today. Instead, the couplereturned to Oklahoma on Saturday,following four days of travel home.

“I don’t know if I’ll go back anytime soon,” she said, noting mes-merizing monuments that she saidpaled her visits to Rome andTurkey.

Kathy said she remembers dri-ving through the Tahrir Square,where thousands of protesters lat-er congregated, in the early part ofthe trip during a visit to the Muse-

um of Egyptian Antiquities inCairo.

“I asked the guide, ‘Aren’t thosedemonstrations going to be rightthere?’” Kathy said.

When the group returned fromlunch later that day, the riot squadshad formed, and when the groupleft the museum, the demonstra-tors were heading to the squarefrom the 6 October Bridge, an ele-vated highway in Cairo, she said.

“‘Phew!’ That’s how I felt,” Kathysaid after explaining the revised itin-erary and the four-day trip home.

Kathy said many of the crew mem-bers on board the boat spoke of achange for democracy and a trans-formed government where their votescould count.

“They have a lot of problems withfreedom to vote there,” Kathy said, not-ing that only 20 percent of the popula-tion voted in the last election.

She said many of the crew memberswere insistent that allegations aboutthe Muslim Brotherhood’s bend forcontrol was not really an issue, and theescalating prices of food and naturalgas had brought problems to a head.

“They just want to be able to voteand have it count,” she said.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. —Tommie Cray was 9 years oldin 1947 when his father, a sin-gle parent with three sons,brought home a new com-panion who was raising threeboys of her own. Annie Maehad a sweet Southern drawland an easy laugh, and anemotional bond took holdright away.

“She brought everybody’sspirit up, she was so lovableand friendly,” reminiscedCray, now 72, as he sat on theedge of his bed in a clutteredstudio apartment adornedwith fading family portraits.“From day one, I loved her.”

After a 38-year hiatus,twice-convicted sexual preda-tor Willie James Kimble, 78,is headed to trial on March 3on charges of bludgeoning todeath Cray’s stepmother at

her home on Oct. 29, 1972 —the week before RichardNixon was re-elected presi-dent.

Her death would be one of

the nation’s oldest cold-casemurders to be solved byDNA.

Kimble, distantly relatedto the Crays, had lived in

Rochester most of his life buthurriedly left town in 2009while the slaying was beingre-examined.

That summer, policeInvestigator C.J. Dominicobtained a DNA match froma semen-stained blanket thathad somehow survived anevidence-room overhaul.After a lengthy search, hetracked down Kimble in hisnative Sarasota, Fla.

Kimble was extradited lastspring, pleaded not guilty

and was being held withoutbail. If convicted of murder,he could draw a life sen-tence.

Genetic profiling cameinto widespread use in crimedetection in the 1990s.

By age 52, Annie Mae hadgone blind from untreatedglaucoma and was largelyconfined to home. She’dstopped working as a domes-tic and her husband, Ezra,was unemployed and strug-gling with alcoholism.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio —Two men involved in a dis-pute at a fraternity house par-ty left the house and thenreturned, firing shots into thecrowd early Sunday andkilling a Youngstown StateUniversity student and injur-ing 11 other people, a policechief said.

Youngstown police ChiefJimmy Hughes said thehouse just north of the Ohiocampus had been bustlingwith 50 or more people, someas young as 17. Six of theinjured were students, author-ities said.

“These guys were in thelocation for a little whilebefore the shootingoccurred,” he said. “Some-thing happened that theybecame unhappy. They had

some type of altercation.” Investigators are trying to

identify the shooters basedon accounts from eyewit-nesses, and the people whowere shot have told policethey had no problems withthe suspected shooters,Hughes said.

“These guys were in thelocation for a little whilebefore the shootingoccurred,” he said. “Some-thing happened that theybecame unhappy. They hadsome type of altercation.”

Members of the university-sanctioned Omega Psi Phifraternity lived at the house,YSU spokesman Ron Colesaid.

The Mahoning Countycoroner’s office identified thedead student as 25-year-oldJamail E. Johnson. He wasshot once in the head andmultiple times on his hips and

legs, and an autopsy isplanned Monday, said Dr.Joseph Ohr, a forensic pathol-ogist with the coroner’s office.

The 11 injured were takento nearby St. Elizabeth HealthCenter, and eight of them hadbeen treated and released byearly afternoon, hospitalspokeswoman TinaCreighton said. She said shecould not release the condi-tions of the other three.

“This is one of those daysthat every university presi-dent across the country, aswell as many other officials,always dread,” universitypresident Cynthia Andersonsaid at a news conference oncampus. She had visited thewounded and their families atthe hospital earlier in the day.

Anderson said she hadbeen assured by police thatthere was no threat to thenortheast Ohio campus.

W ASHINGTON — Havinggrown up in the Chicagoarea, rooting for years for

the luckless Cubs and morerecently for the hapless Washing-ton Nationals, I feel particularlyqualified to comment on theObama administration's strugglesto find a useful role to play in thecrisis wracking Egypt and thewider Arab world, let alone theblizzards in the Midwest and NewEngland.

I know that sports analogies —as well as weather anecdotes fromone's youth — are dangerous andsometimes misleading. But in thiscase, they are irresistible.

The simple fact is that there islittle Washington can do about theimpact of successive years ofterrible winter weather or theupheaval in Cairo that threatensAmerica's interests in the MiddleEast.

Let's deal with the latter first.America has a long history inEgypt — too long a history. It goesback to King Farouk, a name thatmeans nothing to many peoplethese days. Nobody younger thanmy generation can summon up amental picture of the chain-smoking playboy emperor ofCairo. But he was our man for atime in the early 1950s and theEgyptian people have neitherforgotten nor forgiven.

We did business with Egyptbecause of our interest in the SuezCanal, the vital waterway wheremuch of the world's oil supply istransported from the Persian Gulf.That interest was so great thatPresident Eisenhower rebuffedtwo of our staunchest allies,Britain and France, when theydecided to try to wrest control ofthe canal from Egypt.

This made us briefly popularwith the people in Cairo, but it didnot last. Subsequent leaders who

supported us, culminating inHosni Mubarak, have beenincreasingly unpopular with theirown population.

Which brings me back to myanalogy.

As a Cubs fan, and morerecently a Nationals supporter, Iam accustomed to spendingSeptembers reading about otherteams' pursuit of the World Series.Whether it is the Red Sox fendingoff the Yankees, or the Giantstrying to gain entry for the firsttime since Dianne Feinstein wasmayor, those who share myhistory have learned that it's nofun watching other teams at suchhistoric events.

You know something big ishappening and that it willinevitably affect you. But youdon't know whom to root for and,ultimately, you realize that eventswill unfold and you have almost noinfluence on the outcome.

That is the reality that confrontsPresident Obama today. His handsare tied while Egypt erupts.

At first he expressed supportand sympathy for the democraticforces filling the streets andappreciation for the Egyptianmilitary holding fire. But when itbecame clear that Mubarak wason his way out, sooner or later, itdawned on everyone that theMuslim Brotherhood might seizeon the resulting power vacuumand chaos to erect a hostile regime

on the banks of the Suez Canal. Who do you root for in a

situation like this? I turn with relief to the weather.

Washington was shut down bysnow for a whole work week lastwinter, because we have nocapacity to deal with even a fewflakes. Aside from one nightmareevening recently, this year wehave been spared. But seeing thephotographs of hundreds of carsand buses stranded on Lake ShoreDrive in Chicago on Tuesdayevening brought back memoriesof other blizzards that made it anadventure even to cross theMidway from Burton-Judson toCobb Hall for a history class at theUniversity of Chicago.

I have so often driven LakeShore Drive, either to its exit onSheridan Road or partway north toAddison, where all roads lead tothe Friendly Confines of WrigleyField, that I could feel for thedrivers and passengers who couldnot reach the nearest exit rampbecause of all the stalled vehicles.Lake Shore Drive, better known asthe Outer Drive, terminated at theEdgewater Beach Hotel, whosepristine beach was rarely populat-ed by its elderly residents. But itstopped traffic from going straightinto Evanston, the home of the twomost elitist institutions in the area,the Woman's Christian Temper-ance Union and NorthwesternUniversity, even when there wasno blizzard raging. On Tuesday,you couldn't even get to theEdgewater.

There was nothing you could doabout it. Just like the United Statesin Egypt. David Broder writes for the Washing-ton Post Writers Group. His e-mailaddress [email protected].

Our view• CAPITOL AGENDA

• OKLAHOMA STORMS

Another view• PLANETARY PURSUITS

The historic gains madeby Republicans this pastNovember — in theLegislature and bystatewide officeholders —will mean a differentagenda at the Capitol thismonth. Lawmakers returnto the Capitol today asGov.-elect Mary Fallinprepares to give her Stateof the State address.

Ms. Fallin told membersof the Oklahoma PressAssociation that mostagencies will see addition-al 5 percent cuts to theiroperating budgets. Publicsafety, education andhealth and human serviceswill likely only see a 3percent trim.

The state expects $600million fewer dollars toappropriate in the budgetyear that starts July 1.Unlike the last budgetyear, lawmakers don’thave federal stimulusfunds to bail them out or arainy day savings accountto tap into.

Those additional cuts

come on the heels of twoyears worth of reductions.Some agencies have beenreduced by as much as 15percent. Ms. Fallin wantsto modernize agencies andconsolidate some services.

She also wants theHouse and Senate toconcentrate on makingchanges in the state’spension system, workers’compensation, educationand criminal justice.Alternatives to incarcera-tion are expected to be onthe table, too. Correctionsofficials want an emer-gency allocation to carrythem through the currentbudget year.

Some agencies werehoping to see a betterbudget year. Highereducation has a wish listthat it hoped to fulfill thisyear after declines infunding. Oklahoma wasone of the last states to feelthe impact of a globalrecession. It may beamong the last to feel therecovery, too.

The winter storm thatslammed central Oklahomathis past week has present-ed challenges for most ofus. We’ve received ourshare of compliments and afew complaints for the workof our newspaper carriers.

Some of the carriershave delivered yournewspapers later in theday, reminding somereaders that The Transcriptwas an afternoon deliverynewspaper for most of itsyears.

We’ve posted the news-paper pages in an onlineformat for our readers whodid not receive their printedpaper. That, too, has drawnsome positive comments. A

few newspapers in theeastern part of the statewent totally online thisweek.

We’ve also received a fewcompliments about theletter carriers who havebeen able to make itthrough the snow and ice.On foot and in their vehi-cles, the carriers still aregetting through.

And then there are thetrash trucks, meter readersand recycling collectors.Thanks to all who havegotten through the mess.Look for those Girl Scoutsselling cookies at your doorthis week. Snow can’t stopthem, and spring can’t bethat far away.

We are not alone in theuniverse. At least not at theplanetary level.

But whether there areintelligent beings on otherplanets remains one ofhumanity’s great unansweredquestions. The issue of lifeelsewhere in the cosmoscaptured new attention whenNASA revealed some of thelatest findings from its Keplertelescope. Launched in 2009,Kepler’s focus has been toseek out planetary systemselsewhere in the galaxy.

And it has been remark-ably successful ... NASAannounced recently thatmore than 1,200 possibleplanets have been discoveredto date — 54 of which are at adistance from their suns that

make them candidates forhosting life. ... What began asa few discoveries of planetsthat were the size of Jupiteror larger has become moresophisticated. Most of theplanets identified by Keplerare smaller than the solarsystem’s gas giant.

But they are still largerthan Earth, which is abenchmark of sorts forastronomers scanning theheavens for evidence of lifeelsewhere. While predictingwhat conditions might beconducive to life on otherplanets is somewhat specula-tive, it’s presumed it wouldhave to take place on asmaller planet. ...

WASHINGTON — Theunrest engulfing Arab streetsand threatening authoritariangovernments in the Mideastis complicating U.S. coun-terterrorism efforts, scram-bling the volatile battlegroundagainst al-Qaida in Yemenand raising concerns aboutthe durability of Egypt’sstance against militants.

U.S. counterterrorism offi-cials need to move quickly tofirm up relationships with vet-eran Mideast intelligence andsecurity services in the after-math of momentouschanges, experts say. Linger-ing confusion over who willtake the reins of power couldhamper instant decision-mak-ing in the short term.

Over the longer term, willthe U.S. be able to work asclosely against al-Qaida andother terrorist groups ifimportant allies such asEgyptian President HosniMubarak and Yemeni Presi-dent Ali Abdullah Saleh cedepower to Islamist groupssuch as the Muslim Brother-hood?

“Right now the situation isso fluid it’s just about impos-sible to make any determina-tions about long-term reper-cussions,” said RogerCressey, a former countert-errorism deputy in the Clin-ton and second Bush admin-

istrations. “The counterter-rorism community has to becautious about even jumpingsix months ahead.”

Uncertainty about whetherthe U.S. can depend on Araballies to join against militantscomes amid growing Ameri-can concerns following astring of failed attacks plottedin Yemen and al-Qaida’shome base inside Pakistan.Less reliance on Mideast part-

ners could force the U.S. tostrike back on its own there,if a future terrorist attack wereto succeed.

“The next time Americaninterests are attacked andthere’s a return address inYemen, the U.S. may have toact unilaterally,” said Christo-pher Boucek, an expert withthe Washington-basedCarnegie Endowment forInternational Peace.

WASHINGTON — Awealthy Russian lawmakerhas fled with his family to theUnited States, where he sayshe fears assassination overaccusations that some ofRussia’s richest and mostinfluential people swindledhim in a real estate deal.Back home, he’s beencharged with financialcrimes.

Ashot Egiazaryan said heis considering seeking asy-lum in the U.S. But aftersuing a Russian billionaireand several former businesspartners — including a closefriend of Russian Prime Min-ister Vladimir Putin andMoscow’s former mayor —he said he doesn’t feel safe,even in this country.

“I do think it’s possiblethan an assassinationattempt can be mountedagainst me here,” he saidflanked by lawyers in a con-ference room a few blocksthe White House. The inter-view with The AssociatedPress was his first with West-ern media and came a fewweeks after one of his rela-tives was gunned down inthe Russian city of Astrakhanon Dec. 7, an attack heclaims is connected with hissuit.

The struggle over theMoskva Hotel, a prime pieceof Moscow real estate, isnow being waged in a civilcourt in Cyprus, the LondonCourt of International Arbi-

tration, on the Web and onCapitol Hill. It provides a rareinsider’s view of the oftenruthless world of money,power and politics in Russia,where wealth and connec-tions can sometimes trumpproperty rights and the ruleof law.

The case could become aheadache for the Obamaadministration. The U.S. iscounting on Moscow’s sup-port in everything from thefight against extremists in

Afghanistan to efforts toderail the nuclear programsof Iran and North Korea.

If the 45-year-oldEgiazaryan seeks to remainin the U.S., the administra-tion could face a difficultchoice: risk angering theKremlin by sheltering a high-ranking Russian officialcharged with financialcrimes, or force a fugitive toreturn and face a legal sys-tem that even Russian offi-cials recognize is riddled with

corruption and cronyism.Russian President Dmitry

Medvedev came into officein 2008 pledging to battlewhat he called Russia’s “legalnihilism.” But so far, manyinside and outside Russia seemore rhetoric than reform.The respected watchdoggroup Transparency Inter-national’s latest rankingsplace Russia 146th out of 180countries in its corruptionindex, just ahead of SierraLeone but behind Kenya.

FORT LAUDERDALE,Fla. — During the housingcrash, it was good to be a fore-closure king. David Stern wasFlorida’s top foreclosurelawyer, and he lived like an oilsheik. He piled up a collectionof trophy properties, glidedthrough town in a fleet of six-figure sports cars and, withhis bombshell wife, partied onan ocean cruiser the size of asmall hotel.

When homeowners fellbehind on their mortgages,the banks flocked to “foreclo-sure mills” like Stern’s topush foreclosures throughthe courts on their behalf. Tohis megabank clients —Bank of America, GoldmanSachs, GMAC, Citibank andWells Fargo — Stern was theultimate Repo Man.

At industry gatherings,Stern bragged in his boyish

voice of taking mortgagesfrom the “cradle to the grave.”The worse things got forhomeowners, the better theygot for Stern.

That is, until last fall, whenthe nation’s foreclosuremachine blew apart andStern’s gilded world cameundone. Within a fewmonths, Stern went frombeing the subject of a gushingmagazine profile to being thesubject of a Florida investiga-tion, class-action lawsuits andblogger Schadenfreude thatthe “foreclosure king” wasdead.

“What Stern represents isan industry that was com-pletely unrestrained,

unchecked, unpunished andunsupervised,” said Floridadefense attorney Matt Weid-ner.

The rise and fall of Stern,now 50, provides an insidelook at how the foreclosureindustry worked in the lastdecade.

Not long ago, the world ofback-office bank procedureswas of little interest to thepublic. But revelations last fallabout robo-signers poweringthrough hundreds of foreclo-sure affidavits a day changedall that. Today the bankingindustry’s eviction juggernautis under intense scrutiny asallegations of systemic fore-closure fraud mount.

The 50 state attorneys gen-eral are conducting a foreclo-sure industry probe. So arestate and federal regulators.Class-action lawsuits are gath-ering force, and, with increas-ing frequency, state judgesare tossing out foreclosuresuits in favor of homeowners.The developments are pro-longing the housing marketdepression, casting doubt onmortgage ownership and call-ing into question whethermortgage-backed securitiesare, in fact, backed by nothingat all.

The Florida attorney gen-eral’s economic crimes divi-sion is investigating threelaw firms, including Stern’s.

Supporters of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh rally Feb. 2, holding hisportrait, in Sanaa, Yemen, after the president said he would not seek anotherterm in office or hand power to his son. This is an apparent reaction to protests inthis impoverished nation inspired by Tunisia’s revolt and the turmoil in Egypt. Theunrest engulfing Arab streets and threatening authoritarian governments in theMideast is complicating U.S. counterterrorism efforts, further shaking the volatilebattleground against al-Qaida in Yemen.

NEW YORK — Whenmembers of Congress metrecently to discuss revitaliz-ing passenger trains in theUnited States, they choseGrand Central Terminal, amajestic hub of New York’svaunted mass transit sys-tem. From a balcony abovethe main concourse, MayorMichael Bloomberg toldlawmakers he rides the sub-way every day and calledhigh-speed passenger rail“the track to the future.”

But to actual New Yorkcommuters, such talk ringshollow these days.

Mechanical breakdowns,stranded trains, rising faresand the governor’s plans tocut another $100 millionfrom the MetropolitanTransportation Authority’sbudget have left travelersfuming. An onslaught ofsnowstorms has exposedthe rail system’s weakness-es, shorting out electricmotors and snapping elec-tric lines. On Monday theMetro-North commuter linewill cut service on its popu-lar New Haven line becausehalf of its trains are in theshop.

“I don’t see New York’smass transit system as amodel for anybody,” saidJim Griffin, 36, who ridesevery day from South Nor-walk, Conn. to an office inTimes Square. “You namethe excuse, we’ve heard itthis winter.

Besides the largest-in-the-nation subway system, NewYork has the nation’s largestconcentration of passengerrailroads. Speedy Acelatrains bring travelers fromWashington, D.C. andBoston on Amtrak’s North-east Corridor line. The LongIsland Rail Road, the nation’slargest commuter rail road,and Metro-North Railroadserve more than 500,000 dai-ly riders east and north ofthe city. NJ Transit and thePort Authority’s PATHtrains go west.

The Obama administra-tion has called the NortheastCorridor a “gem” and says itwants to replicate its successnationwide with a $13 billionplan for new high-speed rail

lines. In his State of theUnion address last month,President Barack Obamasaid he wants to bring high-speed train travel to 80 per-cent of Americans. The fed-eral government poured$188 million of Recovery Actfunds into commuter railprojects last year, from newregional trains in Oregon toupgraded switches on Balti-more’s light rail system.

But for rail riders in NewYork, it’s been a season ofdisappointments.

In October, New JerseyGov. Chris Christie killedplans to build a second com-muter rail tunnel under theHudson River. The projectwould have been the UnitedStates’ biggest public worksproject, with a cost of $9 bil-lion to $14 billion.

The tunnel project wasaimed at easing congestionat rush hour, when dozensof NJ Transit and Amtraktrains must travel over thesame bridge over the Hack-ensack River in New Jersey,then through a single tunnelinto Manhattan.

In December, the MTAhiked fares between 9 per-cent and 17 percent, depend-ing on a rider’s train or bus

route. A monthly subwaypass shot up from $89 to$104. The MTA had alreadyeliminated the one-day andtwo-week passes, whichwere popular with tourists.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority employees clear snow Dec. 28, 2010, from the Q subway track in theConey Island neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York. As the U.S. mulls rail expansion, NewYork’s breakdowns and money woes show train travel’s downside.

The opportunity was there forOklahoma on Saturday.

The Sooners had OklahomaState on the ropes twice in this sea-son’s first Bedlam game. They justcouldn’t close the deal in the 81-75loss to the Cowboys at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Too many fouls and too manyoffensive rebounds by the Cowboyshurt. OU pointguard Carl Blairhad sixturnovers with-out an assist.Cameron Clark,who was comingoff a 25-pointperformance against Baylor, wasscoreless.

“It’s frustrating because this feelslike a missed opportunity. You givethem all the credit, OklahomaState,” OU coach Jeff Capel said.

The Cowboys were the team thatadjusted best to the tightly officiat-ed game. Keiton Page managed tostay in the game after picking uptwo early. OU’s Steven Pledgercouldn’t under the same circum-stances.

OSU was the team that kept get-ting offensive rebounds (15) toextend possessions. The Sooners,who finished with 10 offensiverebounds and 10 fewer overall thantheir rival, couldn’t keep them offthe glass.

No one wearing crimson wassearching for a silver lining Satur-day.

“For me and especially right nowafter a loss, there’s no silver liningfor me,” Capel said. “If you ask mea few hours from now or maybetomorrow or Monday, maybethere’s something different. Rightnow, there’s not.”

Having a winning streak endafter four games and falling to 12-10overall and 4-4 in the Big 12 Con-ference hurt. When the emotionfades, things could look a little dif-ferent.

The Sooners still haven’t hit onall cylinders this season. The bruntof its scoring came from forwardAndrew Fitzgerald and guard CadeDavis. Both emerged from offen-sive slumps and finished with 18apiece.

OU’s bench scored 17 points andgrabbed 14 rebounds. It was by theperformance from its non-startersin conference.

Those two factors put the Soon-ers in position to win in a hostileroad environment. Average gamesfrom Pledger, who scored ninepoints, Blair and Clark would havebeen enough to put OU over thetop.

STILLWATER — Brittney Grinerscored 19 points, Destiny Williamsadded 17 and top-ranked Baylor beatOklahoma State 84-57 Sunday toachieve the best start to a season inschool history.

Visits to Gallagher-Iba Arena had-n’t been friendly even to the bestBears teams in recent history. Bay-lor was also 20-1 and on a 13-gamewinning streak when it played atOklahoma State three years ago, butfell behind by 19 in a game con-trolled by the Cowgirls.

The Bears had another 13-game

winning streak snapped in Stillwaterlast season.

This time, they had no trouble.Baylor (21-1, 8-0 Big 12) built a 20-

point lead by halftime and then putaway its 18th straight win with a 12-0 run early in the second half, whenGriner finally got going.

Vicky McIntyre scored 12 pointsto lead Oklahoma State (13-8, 1-7),which lost starting point guardTiffany Bias to an injury midwaythrough the second half. Bias wastripped on a drive to the basket and

fell hard to the floor. She walked tothe locker room with 12:26 left in thegame and did not return to thebench.

By then, the Cowgirls werealready out of it.

Griner, a preseason All-American,piled on by hitting her next fourshots to stretch the lead to 74-44, andthe Bears eventually led by 35.

Oklahoma State fell to 0-6 this sea-son against Top 25 opponents and 0-2 all-time against No. 1 teams. Bay-lor coach Kim Mulkey was anassistant coach for top-rankedLouisiana Tech when it won at Gal-lagher-Iba in 1989.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Intheir zeal to set a Super Bowlattendance record, the NFL andJerry Jones overlooked oneimportant detail: Making sure allthe temporary seats inside mam-moth Cowboys Stadium hadbeen inspected and were readyfor the fans.

A week plagued by poorweather took an embarrassingturn Sunday when the leaguehad to find replacement seats for850 fans. The NFL also scram-bled to find a place for another400 people to sit inside Jones’$1.2 billion palace and couldn’tfind any with a view of the field.

“This is absolutely ridiculous,”said Glen Long, a PittsburghSteelers season-ticket holderwho flew in for the game fromBaltimore. “That would be fraudanywhere in the world if you soldtickets to an event that you knewyou didn’t have. That’s justwrong.”

“We’ve been a teamthat’s overcome adversityall year,” Jennings said.“Our head captain (CharlesWoodson) goes down,emotional in the lockerroom. Our No. 1 receiver(Donald Driver) goesdown, more emotions aregoing, flying in the lockerroom. But we find a way tobottle it up and exert it allout here on the field.”

Few teams have been asresourceful as these Pack-ers, who couldn’t wait totouch the trophy honoringtheir coach — and theirtitle. Several of them kissedit as Roger Staubachwalked through a line ofgreen and gold.

“Vince Lombardi is com-ing back to Green Bay,”NFL Commissioner RogerGoodell said as the silverprize was handed to theteam.

Steelers’ biggestplaymakers silent

The Steelers’ biggestplaymakers were all butsilent Sunday.

Troy Polamalu whiffedon a tackle. James Harrisonwas nearly invisible.

Not the way the Pitts-burgh Steelers drew thisup.

Pittsburgh’s big-play,hard-hitting defensive lead-ers were nowhere to befound when the Steelersneeded them most.

Polamalu was the NFLDefensive Player of theYear, but was anything butthe impact player whohelped get the Steelers tothis point. He had a chanceto make a big play early,but delivered only a glanc-ing blow on James Starks.

Polamalu delivered his

biggest hit the very nextplay — as Greg Jenningscaught a 21-yard touch-down pass.

Harrison had a sack, butmade most of his noisewith his mouth during theweek while criticizing theNFL. He might not havemuch to say after this per-formance, though.

Dick LeBeau’s defensewas one of the strengths allseason for the Steelers,who have a long legacy ofpunishers — The SteelCurtain among them —who helped bring six pre-vious titles to Pittsburgh.This team expected to dothe same, with Polamaluand Harrison leading theway, as they so often haveduring the last few seasons.

But Polamalu finishedwith three not-so-memo-rable tackles, while Harri-son had only the sack ofRodgers in the third quar-ter and a few quarterbackhits.

It wasn’t just Polamaluand Harrison to blame, ofcourse. The Steelers’ sus-pect secondary gave upseveral big plays through-out the game as the Pack-ers, even without theinjured Driver for most ofthe game, took aim atBryant McFadden, WilliamGay and the rest of Pitts-burgh’s defensive backs.

The defensive line, ledby the big-bearded BrettKeisel, got some pressureon Rodgers but it wasn’tconsistent enough, espe-cially in the first half, to getthe Packers off track.

When the Steelers lookback at this one, though,they’ll wish Polamalu andHarrison had done whatmade them two of the elitedefensive players in theNFL.

Polamalu is a matchup

nightmare with the way hefreelances in the sec-ondary, but he was beatenin coverage on Jennings’ 8-yard touchdown catch ear-ly in the fourth quarter thatput Green Bay up 28-17.

Harrison was the Defen-sive Player of the Year twoyears ago, and was comingoff another impressive sea-son for the Steelers inwhich he had 101⁄2 sacks.He’s a problem forreceivers and tight endscoming across the middle,and for offensive linementrying to protect their quar-terbacks.

Not so much in this one.The Packers did a terrificjob of keeping him out of

and all the cylinders firing,it would be really good forus,” Davis said. “We haveto make sure we do every-thing right.”

Every cylinder needs tobe working in peak form ifOU wants to keep anotherlosing streak from form-ing. It hosts No. 3 Texas(20-3, 8-0 Big 12) at 8 p.m.Wednesday at Lloyd NobleCenter.

The Sooners lost thefirst meeting, 66-46, on Jan.15 at Texas. They’veimproved since then andgained confidence. Theloss at OSU shouldn’t take

away from it.Fitzgerald thought the

Bedlam setback wouldhelp.

“It’s good that we gotknocked down like thisgame, so we can get ourheads back to where theywere when we were 0-3.Things happen for a rea-son,” he said. “I think wewere kind of happy withour success and our four-game winning streak. Nowwe’re knocked down. Nowit’s time to come back andplay OU basketball again.”

Oklahoma State slowedthe pace to a crawl anddeployed a 2-3 zone to tryand slow the Bears, butstill couldn’t get anythinggoing against a Baylordefense, allowing oppo-nents the worst shootingpercentage in the nation.The Cowgirls started just 3for 12 from the field and fellbehind 20-9 midwaythrough the first half.

Even after Griner pickedup her second foul byslamming into LindseyKeller on the offensive end,Oklahoma State couldn’tcapitalize with her on thebench for 81⁄2 minutes.

Kendra Suttles had aspinning layup inside andLakyn Garrison hit a 3-pointer to get the deficitdown to 25-18, but theBears then scored the nextnine points and finishedthe first half on an 18-5 runto stretch their lead to 43-23.

Griner had two baskets

inside during Baylor’ssurge just after halftime,and Melissa Jones made it55-27 when she stole theinbounds pass followingWilliams’ two free throwsand converted a layup with15:19 to play.


solve economic problemswould be the height of fol-ly,” agent Leigh Steinbergsaid. “Who wants to be theperson to kill this goldengoose?”

To hear the two sides tellit, they’re trying to make itbetter, not kill it. But theyare far apart on how to getthat done.

Owners say it’s time topocket more money for aleague that hasn’t started astadium project in morethan five years. They wanta bigger slice of the rough-ly $9 billion in revenue, arookie wage scale and toincrease the regular seasonby two games to 18.

The players think thosetwo extra games will causean exponential rise ininjuries and don’t want togive back any percentageof the revenue pool, a mas-sive slice of which comesfrom the networks, whichcombine to pay around $4billion a year to televise theNFL.

In the kind of theaterthat only the NFL couldprovide, Cincinnati receiv-er Chad Ochocinco stoodup among the journalists atCommissioner Roger

Goodell’s annual news con-ference Friday to ask thequestion on every footballfan’s mind.

“Do you know how faraway we are from gettinga deal realistically done?”Ochocinco said.

Goodell said both sidesare preparing for any out-come, but “the commit-ment on behalf of owner-ship is to get anagreement.”

He reiterated that Sun-day in an interview on Fox,

saying a negotiating ses-sion between the ownersand players the day beforewas “beneficial.”

“My focus is on the nextthree or four weeks,”Goodell said. “I’ve oftensaid, our agreementexpires on March 4th. Wehave to use that period oftime to reach an agreementthat’s fair for the players,fair for the clubs, andallows our great game togrow for our fans.”

Some are hopeful that asolution can be foundbefore a labor strike.

“Given the success ofthe game, given the moneyavailable, it doesn’t makesense to me that a compro-mise solution can’t befound,” said the NFL’s out-side labor lawyer, Bob Bat-terman.

In a recent poll by TheAssociated Press, peoplewho identified themselvesas NFL fans were askedwhich side they sympa-thized with. Eleven percentsaid the owners, 25 percentsaid the players and 64 per-cent said neither.

The takeaway message:They simply want theirfootball.


installed in six temporarysections, but they went upso late that the fire marshaldidn’t have time to inspectthem, according to a policeofficer standing near anaffected area who wouldn’tgive his name and an expla-nation of the situation pro-vided to several fans.

The officer said the win-ter storms that struck Dallasearlier had set back work onthe temporary seats.

That didn’t matter to fanswho felt they had beendeceived by the league andJones, the Dallas Cowboysowner who had hoped some105,000 people would watchthe game inside and outsidethe stadium. To bolster thecrowd, there were $200 tick-ets that provided nothingmore than a chance towatch the game on videoscreens set up in outdoorplazas.

Not even a hefty refundoffer from the NFL wasenough to satisfy the 400fans who lost seats. Theleague said it would payback triple the face value —$2,400 for the $800 tickets.

“We don’t want that,” saidOdett Karam, a Green BayPackers fan who flew infrom California. “We justwant to get into the game.We just want to see thegame.”

The NFL said 850 fanswere put in “similar or bet-ter seats.” As for the rest,the NFL first offered to letthe fans watch the game inthe outdoor plazas. Then,shortly after kickoff, NFLspokesman BrianMcCarthy said they hadbeen allowed into the field-level club behind the Pitts-burgh Steelers bench,where they could watch thegame on monitors.

If they wanted to see thegame in person, they had touse standing-room plat-forms in each corner ofCowboys Stadium.

Fans complained thatwasn’t nearly enough, espe-cially given what they haddoled out for travel andhotel costs.

“They took us to a bar,”said Paul Colavecchi, a dis-placed fan from Clearfield,Pa., who came to Texas withhis sister.

“That’s terrific,” he addedsarcastically. “That’s whywe fronted five grand forthis trip — so we couldwatch the game in a bar. Ididn’t have to take a planetrip to Texas to watch thegame on TV, and I certainlydidn’t buy a ticket so I couldwatch the game in a bar.”

Compounding the unhap-piness, fans in the affectedareas were at first put into afenced-off area while offi-cials tried to sort things out.They became increasinglyunruly, alternating chants of“Jerry Sucks!” and “NFLSucks!”

One man shouted:“They’re treating us likeprisoners.” Another said,“We came a long way forthis.”

Gerry Grillo, from NewJersey, said he paid $3,000for a ticket on the secondarymarket, so he would losemoney even if he got arefund.

“We’ve been in a holdingarea for two hours,” he saidafter finally being let in thestadium. “Two hours!”

Organizers were hopingflawless game-day logisticswould wipe out some of thecomplaints, but the seatingproblem could be an issuein the area’s plans to bid forthe 50th Super Bowl in 2016.

The affected areas werefour entryways and two por-tions of the upper deck onthe west end.

About 15,000 temporaryseats were added to the sta-dium in a bid to set therecord for the largest crowdin Super Bowl history.

DALLAS — Here’s aBrady Bunch for NFL fans:Tom Brady got all 50 votesfor MVP.

The New England Patri-ots quarterback on Sundaybecame the first unani-mous choice for NFL MostValuable Player Awardsince the The AssociatedPress began using anationwide panel of mediamembers who cover theleague.

He surpassed himself,too: In 2007, when Bradywon his first MVP, he got49 votes; one voter wentfor Brett Favre.

“It is always flattering tobe chosen for such a pres-tigious award,” Brady said.“But I also look at it as ateam award, as nothing in

football gets accomplishedwithout the mental tough-ness and determination ofevery player and coachassociated with that team.”

Those successes,including three SuperBowl titles in the last 10years, are in great part dueto Brady’s excellence.

Although he didn’t set

nearly as many passingmarks as in 2007, Brady byfar was the league’s topperformer in leading NewEngland to a 14-2 record,best in the NFL. He had arecord streak of 335throws without being inter-cepted, and passed for 36touchdowns with only fourpicks.

Alder on BridgeMonday, Feb. 7, 2011By Phillip Alder

Last week we looked atdeclarer’s play from thedummy at trick one. Hehad to choose between alow card and a high card.Here is one more impor-tant example.

How would you plan theplay in three no-trumpafter West leads the spadeeight?

First, count your toptricks. You have seven:one spade (given the lead),three hearts and threeclubs. You will have to plugaway at the diamonds. IfEast has both the ace andking of diamonds, you willhave no chance; East willcollect three spade and twodiamond tricks before youcan win nine. So, assumeWest has a diamondhonor.

If you play the spade twofrom the dummy, East willcover with an encouragingseven. If you then duckfrom your hand, West willcontinue with his secondspade, leaving you with nochance. Or if you win withyour king, when West getsin with his diamond king,he will lead his remainingspade through dummy’squeen, resulting in downtwo.

Similarly, if you trydummy’s 10 at trick one,East will cover with thejack.

Now analyze secondhand high, calling for thequeen. East wins with hisace, but then what?

If East continuesspades, he gives you twotricks in the suit; and whenWest gets in with his dia-mond king, he will nothave a spade left to lead. IfEast shifts to another suit,you can attack diamonds,knocking out East’s entrybefore his suit is estab-lished.

Agreed, it is lucky thatEast has a singleton dia-mond ace, so that you candrive out his entry first, butdid you benefit from yourgood fortune?Copyright 2011, United FeatureSyndicate

LOS ANGELES — Thesci-fi smash “Inception” andthe Facebook drama “TheSocial Network” took topscreenplay honors Saturdaynight at the Writers GuildAwards.

“Inception” writerChristopher Nolan won forbest original screenplay and“The Social Network” writerAaron Sorkin won for bestadapted screenplay.

The awards were handedout by the Writers Guild ofAmerica in simultaneousceremonies at the Renais-sance Hollywood Hotel inLos Angeles and the AXAEquitable Center in NewYork.

“The Social Network,”which Sorkin adapted fromthe Ben Mezrich book “The

Accidental Billionaires,” wasexpected to win Saturday.But the original screenplaycategory was considered atoss-up between “Incep-tion,” the psychosexualthriller “Black Swan” andthe boxing drama “TheFighter” because currentawards-season darling “TheKing’s Speech” was not eli-gible for a WGA award as itwas not made under thewriting union’s contractguidelines.

Other of the top films of2010 like “Toy Story 3” and“Winter’s Bone” were ineli-gible for the same reason.

Sorkin will be the prohib-itive favorite in the adaptedcategory, and “The King’sSpeech” and “Inception” willvie for original screenplayhonors at the AcademyAwards on Feb. 27.

“The Social Network,”was also considered an ear-ly favorite for a best pictureOscar. But it has beentrumped in recent awardceremonies including theGolden Globes and Produc-ers Guild Awards by “TheKing’s Speech,” which fea-tures Colin Firth as thestammering father of QueenElizabeth II and is expectedto sweep several categorieson Oscar night.

In other WGA categories,Charles Ferguson, ChadBeck and Adam Bolt wonbest documentary screen-play honors for “Inside Job,”a chronicle of the 2008 eco-nomic meltdown.

And large teams of writ-ers from AMC’s “Mad Men”and ABC’s “Modern Fami-ly” won for best drama andcomedy series, respectively.

LOS ANGELES — Lind-say Lohan’s attorney saidSaturday that her client didnot steal a $2,500 necklaceand would fight anycharges if they are filed.

The statement from attor-ney Shawn Chapman Hol-ley was the first officialword from the actress’camp since police revealedthey were investigating thetroubled starlet for grandtheft.

“We vehemently denythese allegations and, ifcharges are filed, we will

fight them in court, not inthe press,” Holley said.

Kamofie & Co., a Venicecustom jewelry store,reported the necklacestolen on Jan. 22, roughlythree weeks after theactress was released fromthree months of court-ordered rehab at the BettyFord Center.

Police obtained a searchwarrant Tuesday to try toretrieve the necklace fromLohan’s house, but the itemwas turned in to detectivesbefore the warrant could beexecuted.

If she is charged, thecase would be the latest

problem for the actress,who has struggled to com-ply with the terms of herprobation for a 2007 drunk-en driving case.

Judges sent her to jail last

year twice for violating herprobation, and a judge hasthreatened to sentence herto up to six months in jail ifshe cannot stay out of trou-ble.
