The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has voted to recommend clemency for Kevin Young, who was convicted for a murder committed during the May 1996 robbery of the Charles Steak House. It is reported that Young has confessed to his role in the crime and "expressed remorse." But he also says that he never intended to shoot anyone. He only fired his weapon because a restaurant patron had shot at him f

The State's five-member pardon and parole board has recommended that the life sentence of Norma Jane Lumpkin be commuted to time served. In 1981, Lumpkin took out a $210,000 life insurance policy on her husband and, with the help of a teenage accomplice, beat him to death with a baseball bat. The police found the body in the trunk of her car when she was pulled over for speeding. Today, Lumpkin's supporters say she suffered from "battered spouse syndrome," although a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already considered this defense and upheld the original sentence. Some consider it noteworthy that abuse was not a central consideration during the course of the original trial. Although Lumpkin has been "written up" for misconduct three times while in prison, she is credited with having start

Among those who will meet with Stocker's opposition are a man convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon (and serving 500 years) and a man convicted of DUI (who is serving a five-year sentence). Another is serving a 25-year sentence for possessing a stolen motor vehicle. "Robbery by force or fear" netted a 20-year sentence with 12 suspended for another fellow. Twelve of the requests are for drug-related charges. See story here.

Continua a prendere corpo l'ipotesi di un trasloco della squadra di basket Nba dei Super Sonics, che dovrebbero lasciare Seattle per trasferirsi a Oklahoma City. Oggi il consiglio comunale della capitale dell'Oklahoma ha approvato all'unanimita' un accordo preliminare con i Sonics per il trasferimento della franchigia Nba. Il tema del trasloco della squadra sara' affrontato il 17 e 18 aprile prossimi dai proprietari delle squadre Nba e dal commissioner David Stern. In base all'accordo preliminare i Super Sonics giocherebbero almeno quindici anni a Oklahoma City versando un milione di euro all'anno nelle casse comunali per l'affitto del palazzetto.

Cleverly masquerading as a measure to promote religious freedom in the schools, House Bill 2211 is currently making its way through the Oklahoma legislature. This is one that should be watched by all who value education over indoctrination. Like many similar bills in other states (some actually passed), HB 2211 was written by Christian extremists and requires public schools to allow students to express their religious beliefs in class and in their homework without penalty. The implications of such a policy would be disastrous to the quality of education students receive.According to a great op-ed in the Edmond Sun,If a student’s religious beliefs were in conflict with scientific theory, and the student chose to express those beliefs rather than explain the theory in response to an exam q

Governor won’t disband ethnic advisory council
10/30/2007
The council should either be reformed to reflect its apparent mission or preferably disbanded,” said Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, in a prepared statement.
Reynolds and several other law makers refused last week to accept a special copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, which was offered by the Governor’s Ethnic Advisory Council as part of the state’s centennial celebration.
Reynolds said that linking the gift to Oklahoma’s Centennial is inappropriate since “the United States and Oklahoma were founded on Judeo-Christian values and traditions.”
He said the group consists of “Muslim activists” and is not representative of the state’s diversity.
“Islam simply has not played a role in our state’s or country’s history,” he said.
What in the sam hell does the quran (islam) have to do with Oklahoma’s Centennial?

From MSNBC.com:
OKLAHOMA CITY - A gift intended to promote diversity in Oklahoma is generating controversy instead.
Several state lawmakers are returning copies of the Quran to a state panel on diversity after one lawmaker claimed the Muslim holy book condones the killing of innocent people.
In a letter to colleagues, state Representative Rex Duncan says “most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology.” At least 17 other legislators have notified the Governor’s Ethnic American Advisory Council that they too will return the gift.
The council’s chairwoman, herself a Muslim, is denouncing Duncan’s assessment of Islam. She says Islam not an ideology but a religion, and a “very peaceful, very inclusi

I was reading over at Liberated Learning and found a great article on unschooling in the Tulsa Kids Magazine. unschooling is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented forms of homeschooling. At least in my experience. Few people understand the theories behind it, and even fewer ar willing to look at it with an open mind. So being a native Okie myself I was pretty proud that an Oklahoma magazine would publish this great article. The first paragraph makes it clear what unschooling can achieve.

In fact, for every culture and every society, art in some form or another is critical to how we live. For many, many years, arts programs have been cut in Oklahoma City Schools in efforts to divert funds to more pressing subject areas like reading and mathematics. While these are indeed necessary subjects for Oklahoma City Schools students to master, including an arts education in a students learning experiences can do nothing but improve their time attending Oklahoma City Schools, as well as contribute to the amount of success they see as a whole.Most Oklahoma City Public Schools concentrate on teaching students in three ways; by showing them how to do things, by telling them the information they need, or by giving them opportunities to try things themselves (also known as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles).There are, in fact, many learni
College FootballBefore the 2007 college football season started, not many gave Oklahoma a chance to win the national title. Talk about a team that seemingly rose from the ashes, this time last year the Sooners were seemingly on the downturn. Their blue chip quarterback Rhett Bomar was shockingly dismissed from the team, who, by the way has himself risen from the ashes, surfacing this year at Sam Houston State. The Sooners fought hard all year without a quality quarterback, they lost a game due to poor officiating against Oregon, but still managed to land a New Years Day bowl game (Fiesta Bowl), only to lose that game in a heartbreaking overtime defeat to Boise State (on a trick play). They then lost their star running back, Adrian Peterson to the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL Draft. So the Sooners entered the 2007 season with a possible New Years hangover, still no proven quarterback and a junior college transfer starting at left tackle.We have to give credit to Coach Bob Stoops, in his

The state of Oklahoma will have a booth featured at this year’s Epcot Food & Wine Festival.
Although they are saying that Oklahoma is the first state to have a booth at the festival, this is really not the case. I’ve had the fortune of attending the Food & Wine Festival a few times and I do remember Florida having a booth showcasing citrus and seafood. So they must mean that this is the first time that a state other than Florida has had a booth.
The description of the Oklahoma booth makes it sound as if it is going to be a little larger than the normal food stall installations. In the past, larger temporary structures have been built showcasing Spain and Austrailia. What is interesting is that these were located deep inside World Showcase. The Florida booth was towards the front of the park near the Future World section.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Oklahoma isn’t looking for sympathy. The Sooners’ latest run-in with the NCAA is nothing compared to what they overcame last season. This month, the NCAA ruled that the Sooners must vacate eight victories from the 2005 season and cut two scholarships for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. The sanctions stem from the case involving quarterback Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn, who were kicked off the team in August for being paid for work they didn’t perform more…
By Steve Wieberg, USA TODAY SAN ANTONIO — Adrian Peterson is gone to the NFL. There’s a muddle at quarterback and a couple of sizable holes at linebacker. They’re hardly trivial pursuits at Oklahoma, home to the nation’s fourth-winningest major-college football program and annual designs on a national championship. But they’re conventional. And given the turbulence of the past 354 days, a little convention is welcome. Last August, starting quarterback Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman more…
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The University of Oklahoma has taken the first step to appeal a ruling by the NCAA that stripped the football team of its 2005 wins and found the university guilty of “failure to monitor” the employment of its athletes.

Boren noted the appeal was limited only to the “failure to monitor” finding and the NCAA’s penalty that forced the Sooners to erase all of the wins more…

Oklahoma Real Estate by Seth Willis Jr.Red PeopleOklahoma’s name means “red people”. The name was derived from the words “okla” which means people, and “humma”, meaning red, both Choctaw words.
