NORMAN — City council and mayoral candidates sparred over public safety issues during a Monday public forum, the first of two set before an April 2 election.
Norman candidates debate public safety issues
Running for mayor are incumbent Cindy Rosenthal, 62, David Kempf, 51, and Tom Sherman, 67.
Vying for ward seats are incumbent Roger Gallagher, 72, and Greg Heiple, 48, Ward 1; Lynne Miller, 67, and incumbent Dave Spaulding, 38, Ward 5; and Stephen Tyler Holman, 28, and incumbent Linda Lockett, 74, Ward 7.
Candidates will face off again at 6:30 p.m. March 28 at city hall, 201 W Gray St., in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
Tuesday's forum was sponsored by the Norman chapters of the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Firefighters.
All the candidates expressed support for renewal of a seven-year public safety sales tax passed in 2008 to hire 30 firefighters and 41 police officers and build and equip two fire stations.
Candidates Sherman, Heiple and Kempf favored lowering the tax to a quarter-cent. Kempf said he preferred that the city pay for public safety services out of the general fund if possible, eliminating the tax altogether.
Heiple and Sherman said they favored making the tax permanent.
Rosenthal said she favors early renewal of the half-cent sales tax so newly hired firefighters and police officers don't have to worry their positions will be cut because the city can't pay their salaries.
Sherman said he favors lowering the tax to a quarter-cent because it would give taxpayers relief, while still providing funds for public safety officers. He also favors findings ways to increase the city's sales tax base.
"If there's a way to bring the cost of public safety back into the general fund, then we should do that first," Kempf said.
Kempf said police officers sometimes are misinformed about the law, and they infringe on personal liberties. He said people have a right to defend their homes, property and families.

The GPL tested in US courts - Wallace Vs FSF
On Monday March 20, 2006 US Federal Judge John Daniel Tinder, dismissed the Sherman Act antitrust claims brought against the Free Software Foundation. The claims made by Plaintiff Daniel Wallace included: that the General Public License (GPL) constituted a contract, combination or conspiracy; that it created an unreasonable restraint of trade; and that the FSF conspired with IBM, Red Hat Inc., Novell and other individuals to pool and cross-license their copyrighted intellectual property in a predatory price fixing scheme.
Peter Brown, FSF Executive Director, responded to the news, "As the author of the GPL and copyright holder on the largest body of GPL'd covered free software, the FSF hears many theories of potential legal claims and challenges to the GPL. We hear the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) expressed, that the GPL has never been tested in court, and that somehow that is a sign of its weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth of course. Put quite simply, if you don't accept the terms of the GPL, then you have no rights to the copyrighted works it covers. What is there left to test? The GPL is a software license, it is not a contract. It gives permissions from the copyright holder. You don't want to accept those permissions? End of discussion."

Kings Family Restaurants settles trademark dispute lawsuit
McKeesport-based Kings Family Restaurants has agreed to settle a trademark dispute over its customer loyalty program by phasing out the name, "Royal Rewards," by March 31, 2014, according to a consent decree filed Friday in federal court.
Kings, in April, sued Firepower Marketing Inc. of Blaine, Wash., seeking to preempt the company's claim that Kings' program, which began in 2006, infringed on a "Royalty Rewards" program that Firepower Marketing started offering to restaurants a year earlier.
In the consent decree, which settles that lawsuit, Kings agrees that it won't use "Royal" or "Royalty" in connection with any customer loyalty program. Attorneys and representatives of both companies couldn't be reached for comment.

Oh dark night, in silence broken ban,
Shackles of fear, I lie there, flat and merely
The valley lies deep, staggering in the past, shadows
Hide danger and feed me in the coldness,
I don't see myself,
Don't look at me,
You would burn
As my house lies empty and
I float against the time,
Come here, come in,
Burn for my soul.

Soccer scandals resonate beyond world of sport
Looking for evidence of how soccer is played differently on the mainland? Then the first interview by new soccer chief Wei Di is worth reading.
'I had never thought of setting foot in soccer,' Wei, a 54-year-old former national rowing and kayaking official, told Sina.com early this month, a week after he was sworn in as the head of the sports administration's Soccer Management Centre. 'But it's my responsibility to accept the call of duty from 'the organisation'. You don't have an excuse to avoid it.'
'The organisation' is a widely used euphemism on the mainland referring to the ruling Communist Party and the authorities in general.
Wei was summoned to the rescue on short notice late last month after three former top mainland soccer officials were detained on unspecified corruption charges. They included Nan Yong, the Soccer Management Centre chief who doubled as effective head of the Chinese Football Association, a puppet non-governmental association that holds China's seat on soccer's international ruling body Fifa. The details of their alleged wrongdoings remain under wraps, but it is widely believed their fall from grace was linked to a wider crackdown on match-fixing and illicit soccer gambling that has snared dozens of coaches, officials and players since last autumn.
Corruption is no stranger in big-ticket sports businesses around the world, given the murky way they are run. In the US, Salt Lake City bidders bought votes that won it the right to host the 2002 Winter Olympics; in Brazil, a five-time soccer World Cup winner, perennial embezzlement charges have dogged Ricardo Teixeira's two decades as president of the Brazilian Football Confederation; and even the International Olympic Committee, the world's highest sports governing body, is sullied, every once in a while, by accusations of hereditary rule and the brazen soliciting of bribes.
But observers say the corruption permeating the 'beautiful game' on the mainland reflects a broader culture of mixing administrative power and commercial interests that has soured many other aspects of governance. 'The organisation' is the problem, rather than solution, they argue. Similarly, the ferocious backlash stirred up by the soccer mess resonates far beyond the world of sport.
'In many foreign countries, corruption in sports is a sports issue alone,' said Jin Shan, a sports culture researcher with Beijing Municipal Academy of Social Sciences. 'Here in China, people tend to put it in a wider perspective of social ills. Look at other heavily corrupt sectors of governance and then the malaise in the sports sector is almost forgivable. They are just getting peanuts.'
Chen Yiming, a former soccer coach who has managed several top-flight mainland teams, told Guangdong TV he suffered from extortion in the 1990s at the hands of Yang Yimin , a deputy CFA chairman who was detained along with Nan late last month.
'If a club didn't pay, your players would fail the mandatory pre-season physical tests that decided whether he would be eligible to play in the league that season,' Chen said.
Before 2001, every professional soccer player on the mainland had to earn his licence to play at a mandatory, pre-season fitness test. The practice was introduced in the name of improving players' stamina but the dubious science behind it was questioned by most professionals. Chen said it turned into a money spinner for officials led by Yang.
'And it was not the only trick under the table,' Chen said. 'Everything bore a price tag if you wanted to survive in the domestic league.'
A players' agent who managed several well-known Chinese internationals agreed that the corruption was widespread: clubs paid CFA referee supervisors to arrange 'preferred' referees to their matches; national team fringe players who wanted to secure international caps to put a gloss on their resumes paid national officials to ensure an appearance for Team China; middlemen colluded with CFA business representatives to siphon off domestic league sponsorship money into their own pockets; and underground gambling rings paid players to throw games.
'Paying your way up is part and parcel of the game,' the agent said. 'But isn't it the same across other sectors in today's China?'
The only difference is the consequences are more conspicuous in soccer. Although it is one of the most popular sports in China, the national team has made the World Cup finals only once, in 2002, when it advanced with ease, mainly thanks to a favourable draw in the Asian qualifiers.
Since then, the Chinese Super League, the top domestic league, has plunged from boom to near infamy, crippled by waves of match-fixing scandals that escaped serious investigation. Between 1999 and 2002, Pepsi reportedly splashed out more than US$10 million a year for the naming rights of the top-flight series. The 2007 CSL title sponsorship, however, cost mainland brewer Kingway only around 38 million yuan (HK$43.22 million), less than half the price tag at the turn of the century.
Riddled by scandal and poor play, Chinese soccer has become a convenient target of public anger and satire. The relatively relaxed censorship on sports news also gave rise to a free-for-all against soccer, which saw its reputation further deteriorate.
'Many critics actually don't know what they are talking about,' said Ma Dexing, a sports writer with the widely circulated tri-weekly Titan Sports newspaper. 'Soccer has become an apparent whipping boy for today's social ills in China. People vent their anger through soccer about some non-sport troubles, like corruption and the lack of credibility of officialdom. It's a tragedy for Chinese soccer.'
The nation's leaders appear to recognise the impact soccer can have.
Senior leaders including President Hu Jintao and heir apparent Xi Jinping raised eyebrows by declaring their ambitions to overhaul the sport in recent months.
'We've got to resolve to do something to raise [the game], but this is going to take a long time,' Xi, a keen soccer fan, said in November.
The rare statements, along with warnings of a clean-up campaign by Liu Yandong, a state councillor whose portfolio covers sports and culture, were believed to be the harbinger of the crackdown.
It was not the first time Chinese leaders have focused on soccer. The Politburo Standing Committee devoted a session to soccer after the national team's World Cup finals appearance in 2002, according to the memoirs of former sports minister Yuan Wenmin . 'The clean-up of soccer has long been on the agenda but no one was willing to make a move before the Olympics,' said one person close to Yuan.
In fact, the CFA launched a similar crackdown on match-fixing in 2002, but dithered on any meaningful punishment for those caught with their pants down - except for handing Gong Jianping , a referee who admitted to receiving 100,000 yuan in bribes, to prosecutors. Gong was later sentenced to 10 years in prison.
'It was a wasted opportunity,' said Chen Peide, a former sports official in Zhejiang, who authored a book on corruption in Chinese soccer. 'It was a political decision to let go of a lot of culprits. No one was willing to risk the stability of Chinese sports before the Beijing Olympics.'
This time, there seems little to stand in the way of a real clean-up. But not everyone is optimistic.
'I haven't seen any clue of profound change in the system, like the separation of power and business [in soccer],' said Li Chengpeng, the author of Chinese Soccer Insight. 'Removing several corrupt officials without touching upon the core of the problem will not help build up a healthy sport.'

From Churchill Downs
Trainer Aidan O'Brien's Kentucky Derby hopefuls galloped over the muddy main track at Keeneland Race Course before an audience of media and other spectators. Before the track was opened after the renovation break, both horses hit the track. Johannesburg was the first one out, walking to the Beard Course chute and then galloping seven-eighths of a mile after the track was harrowed. Next up was Castle Gandolfo, who came on to the track and did the same thing, galloping a little farther. Castle Gandolfo had a paddock schooling session Thursday afternoon. The two are scheduled to van to Churchill Downs Saturday morning and need to be on the grounds by 10 o'clock, 90 minutes before the first race on the 11-race Derby Day card. Three-time Kentucky Derby winning rider Gary Stevens has the mount on Johannesburg, and Jerry Bailey, a two-time Derby winner and, like Stevens, a Hall of Famer, will ride Castle Gandolfo. Traveling head lad Pat Keating is supervising the two colts at Keeneland.

Unemployment applications fall after Sandy spike
- Staff Philadelphia Business Journal
Unemployment aid applications fell by 25,000, leaving the weekly number at 370,000, the Associated Press reports.
It was another drop from the a level of 451,000 reached the week after Hurricane Sandy hit. "People can claim unemployment benefits if their workplaces are forced to close and they aren't paid," the AP notes.
Deutsche Bank economist Joseph LaVorgna told clients "the labor market ... appears to be recovering from the temporary effects of Sandy more rapidly than originally anticipated," the report said.

Cooking the Cover: Gourmet's Grilled Cheese
Cooking the Cover: Gourmet's Grilled Cheese
There is nothing as simply delicious as melted cheese and crispy bread. There are thousands of variations of cheese, bread types, and tasty extras, but recently I was dazzled by the grilled cheese on the cover of Gourmet magazine's February issue. Presented on a clean white plate with a pretty blue background, their uber grilled cheese features escarole, onion jam, and tallegio.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find onion jam nor tallegio, but luckily the recipe states the next best options — fig jam and fontina — both of which were at my local market. I cooked the sandwich over low heat to maximize the melt in the melted cheese. The final result was a divine treat with the sweet jam perfectly complementing the pungent cheese and bitter greens. For the plating, I used a simple white plate like Gourmet, but thought a pink placemat was more me. To see how I made my version of this super scrumptious sandwich, read more.
Grilled Cheese With Onion Jam, Talleggio, and Escarole
From Gourmet magazine
4 (1/2-inch-thick) center slices sourdough bread (from a 9- to 10-inch round)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons onion or fig jam
12 to 14 oz chilled Taleggio or Italian Fontina, sliced
1/4 lb escarole, center ribs discarded and leaves cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
- Brush 1 side of bread slices with oil and arrange, oil sides down, on a work surface.
- Spread jam on 2 slices of bread and divide cheese between remaining 2 slices.
- Mound escarole on top of cheese and season with salt and pepper, then assemble sandwiches.
- Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat until hot.
- Cook sandwiches, turning once and pressing with a spatula to compact, until bread is golden-brown and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes total.
Makes 2 sandwiches.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Regulatory Oversight of Investment Advisors Although the regulatory environment is in a state of flux, it is imperative that RIAs adhere to their compliance obligations. To ensure compliance, RIAs and IARs must fully understand what those obligations are.
- Disaster Recovery Plans and Succession Planning RIAs owe a fiduciary duty to clients to prepare for disasters and other contingencies. If an RIA does not have a disaster recovery plan, clients financial well-being may be jeopardized. RIAs should also engage in succession planning, ensuring a smooth transaction if an owner or principal leaves.
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., told retirement officials Wednesday that he and his colleague across the aisle, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, are prioritizing "looking at the next chapter" of pension changes, encouraging more lifetime income options, strengthening auto-enrollment, and focusing on investment advice — specifically watching how the Department of Labor and the Securities and Exchange Commission are "moving forward" with their fiduciary advice rules.
"Too many Americans make decisions by inaction," Cardin said, "and they need investment advice."
Cardin told ThinkAdvisor after his comments that he wants to make sure that the DOL and SEC "are operating consistently" on their fiduciary rulemakings.
Cardin and Portman, who spoke at an event on Capitol Hill held by the Insured Retirement Institute where they were both honored with IRI's Champion of Retirement Security Award, agreed on the need for tax reform. However, Cardin noted that while a budget deal was reached Tuesday evening, there won't be a "grand bargain."
On Tuesday morning, the budget deal reached by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., appeared to be headed for Senate passage after sailing through the House.
Cardin said that while the nation desperately needed tax reform, "it will be challenging to get tax reform [legislation] without a major budget agreement." He encouraged the attendees to "get involved" in the budget and tax debate "as it will only be intensified as we move forward toward the midterm elections."
Portman agreed, saying, "As we move forward we will have to have tax reform, and move every rock for revenue."
The senators are known for the Comprehensive Retirement Security and Pension Reform Act, commonly referred to as Portman-Cardin, which was enacted as part of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.
Both senators recalled how difficult it was for them back then to advance their retirement income legislation due to the lack of support from leaders of either party. "We were told we shouldn't worry about [Americans' lack of retirement readiness] because people were saving via equity in their homes," Cardin recalled.
Added Portman: "Ben stood up to a lot of pressure" on the retirement income issue. "I had to put up with Republicans saying it wasn't a priority, but he took more heat" from the Democrats.
But despite the tough grassroots effort, "We got major legislation incorporated into tax reform bills--and it was the first major provisions that were made permanent," Cardin said.
"We are going to [make the same effort] in this Congress" to advance more retirement income changes, Cardin said, "because it's even more challenging for Democrats and Republicans to work together."

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening. In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
The training has been terrific as it gives our employees an opportunity to grow outside of normal business hours. We will continue to use your company as a partner going forward.
Our one-on-one English courses in Newton are perfect for those who will benefit from learning a new language for business use. The classes are based on your needs and will soon have you feeling confident with business introductions and whatever else you want to learn. Graduates of our beginner level course should expect to be able to use the telephone and email in English with comfort, as well as have the level of survival English necessary for brief visits to English speaking countries.
No matter what your particular needs from learning English, our general one-on-one English courses in Newton will help immensely. Once the basics are in the place you can decide what would be of most to you and learn it. This will make the learning experience more enjoyable as well as more useful. One-on-one general courses grant the student a degree of survival English as well as exploring particular areas of study - perfect for those going abroad for any reason, or studying towards a specific exam.
Students will also find English courses in Newton which are suitable when they want to study with a group of friends or work colleagues. These are offered as Two-to-One English courses or as In-Company Small Group English courses. All participants must have the same language needs, be able to study at the same time at the same place and be at the same level. All participants should be booked at the same time. Language Trainers suggest that you do not look for classes with more than 8 students at one time. However, an In-Company Taster English Course can contain a maximum of 12 people.

The National Farmers Union (NFU) which represents farmers and growers in England and Wales, has warned EU agriculture ministers against the dangers of introducing new distortions and complexities into the Common Agricultural Policy.
Ministers met in Luxembourg on 27-28 October to continue intense negotiations to reform the CAP as part of the 'Health Check' process.
And although formal agreement is not expected until late November, the talks are expected to crystalise the views of EU member states on some of the key issues such as decoupling of support payments, modulation and milk quotas.
Speaking ahead of the talks in Luxembourg, NFU President Peter Kendall (pictured) warned ministers against a retrenchment into an old style, distortive CAP.
"The NFU was a staunch supporter of the fundamental principles of CAP reforms that were undertaken in 2003. Our sole regret then was that the reform did not go far enough to remove the distortive and complicated elements of the CAP that used to hinder farmers in responding to the market. The health check presents a real opportunity to address this and create a more common, simpler and market focused CAP.
"Wherever they are in the EU, farmers want a straightforward CAP that helps them deal with market fluctuations and rewards them for their efforts in delivering the valuable products society wants. What they do not want is to become once again hostages to both paperwork and the retail sector.
"The new CAP, that encourages farmers to respond to the market, remains the correct policy for EU farmers, enabling them to meet the challenges of food security, and should be championed. But taking a step back towards coupled payments and complexity will only serve to damage the already tarnished reputation of the CAP in the eyes of many taxpayers."

TOTOS SEEP Grant EE/ESE Program Descriptions
Sustainability and Environmental Education for Pre-Service (SEEP)
Information needed |
Information to share |
Name(s) of instructor(s) |
Molly Lawrence |
Name of university |
Western Washington University |
Level of preparation for the program being described: elementary, middle school, high school (or combination) |
Middle school & high school |
University course number |
University course title |
Curriculum and Instruction in Secondary Schools; Instruction in Secondary Schools – Methods II |
University course catalogue description |
532 – Planning & development of curriculum. Advanced study of curriculum design, instructional strategies, unit planning and lesson design. Emphasis on current studies and trends. Introduces methods to infuse multicultural perspective into instruction and the use of multicultural educational resources. Independent research. 432 - Develop professional practices that align long term planning with assessment strategies. Develop unit plans and collect evidence of student learning through formative and summative assessment. Articulate that planning and assessment are linked to: classroom and time management; differentiating instruction; problem-based learning and culminating projects; and, community contexts. |
Objectives of this specific EE-ESE project (big ideas are fine) |
At the outset of this experience students should be able to frame curriculum and instruction in ways that are responsive to issues of the world today and students' experiences and cultures. |
Description of the experience(s) the pre-service teachers had to learn EE-ESE strategies (This is the main, detailed description. Please include enough detail so someone else will know what you did.) |
Engagement in process of creating year long curriculum documents and curriculum materials. Students were asked, in their development of long term planning documents (like scope & sequences & unit/assessment plans) to identify what it is that really mattered in the world today. They were then asked, using principles of Understanding by Design, to frame year long content around essential questions and enduring understandings that took what really mattered into account. Students found incredible ways to use required content to allow their students powerful explorations of questions and ideas that really mattered, many of which related to issues of sustainability. |
Materials/equipment needed for the pre-service teacher experience (include technology that may have been used) |
Were preK-12 children involved? (Yes or no). If yes, describe their involvement and ages. |
No. |
Was this an indoor or outdoor project (or both)? Describe the setting. |
Indoor. |
Were other subject area professors involved? Yes or no. If yes, what subjects were integrated? How? |
This was a secondary education class, so students in the class were from all disciplines, including science, math, social studies, foreign language, English, music, art, physical education, etc. |
Were there community/ agency/institution partners? Yes or no. If yes, how was the partnership structured? |
Not this time, but there will be later. |
How was the program evaluated? What did the pre-service teachers have to say? |
Student products and reflections on these experiences were utilized. |
Other? |
If another grant was written to support your EE-ESE work, what types of things would you hope to accomplish? |
I would hope to find ways to incorporate similar approaches into the science methods course as well as finding ways to take what we're doing and be integral to a public school classroom, responsive to their needs while finding ways to support teachers in their quest to make learning relevant and foster deep and meaningful student learning. |
Thank you!

USAA buys One Riverwalk Place

A well-recognized property in the central business district has a new owner.
USAA Real Estate Co. (USAA Realco) has announced that it has acquired One Riverwalk Place. The 261,633-square-foot building is located at 700 N. St. Mary's Street, at the northeast corner of St. Mary's and Convent.
The building is presently leased to 35 tenants, USAA Realco states.
One of its newest tenants is South Texas Money Management (STMM). Last month, the firm announced that it had inked a lease to occupy 14,500 square feet on the ground floor of the building.
Peloton Commercial Real Estate brokered the sale for USAA and has been retained for leasing and management. Jason Adkison, Scott Boynton and Christi Griggs represented USAA in the transaction.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to purchase this high quality office asset which will be an excellent addition to our office portfolio," says Len O'Donnell, President and CEO of USAA Realco.
"We're pleased with this investment because we're not just investing in any downtown — we're investing in USAA's home town," adds USAA CEO Joe Robles. "We're looking forward to contributing to the ongoing efforts to create a vibrant and living downtown."
Tricia Lynn Silva is assistant managing editor of the newspaper. She assists in the management of the newsroom and plans and coordinates special publications.

The two-party system of the United States — wherein elections are invariably won by one of the two major parties, Republican or Democrat — is largely a result of the winner-takes-all electoral system. Whereas in many other countries, the "runner up" parties in an election will nevertheless be represented in government proportional to the number of votes received, the U.S. offers no such incentive for smaller parties to even enter the race. This system may also be described as a "duopoly."
Even when an independent or third-party candidate is successful in securing votes from the public, this will only count in the Electoral College if they amount to the majority of votes.
As a result, politics in the U.S. is very restricted, with voters liable to apathy in the face of such limited choices. The winner-takes-all system is less democratic than systems of proportional representation, since the interests of those citizens who voted for a non-winning candidate will not be represented in government.
Those in favor of the two-party electoral system in the U.S. point out that it fosters stability in government, and encourages both parties to moderate their views in order to appeal to the middle ground. They also suggest that voters might benefit from the ease of simply selecting between one candidate or the other, which is popularly known as voting for the "lesser of two evils."
Learn MoreA multi-party system, such as the two-party system of the United States, is believed to do a better job of promoting the public good than a one-party system.
Full Answer >One advantage of the two-party system is that it gives voters a clear and understandable presentation of political information. Voters can quickly determine a political candidate's position on issues because their stance often aligns with the party's beliefs.
Full Answer >Advantages of a two party political system include stability, simplicity and the ability of the ruling party to govern from a majority position. Disadvantages include the lack of dissenting opinions, the apathy of voters due to lack of alternatives and the inability of third parties to gain traction in government.
Full Answer >The number of representatives each state has is determined by the state's population. Larger states usually have more people and so they often have more representatives. However, the United States Constitution guarantees that each state will have at least one representative.
