MCNUTT Staff Writer [email protected] Oklahoma’s public regional universities are out- performing the national average of upward social mobility by 38 percent, according to two national studies. Researcher Raj Chetty tracked 30 million stu- dents from freshman year to about age 32 to dis- cover how colleges improved the economic for- tunes of students from families at the lowest income level. A perfect mobility rate for those students who rise from the bottom to the top tier of wealth would be 4 percent. The study found the average mobility rate in the U.S. is 1.7 percent. The Regional University System of Oklahoma — made up of six four-year institutions across the state — is well above that at 2.37 percent. “We’ve created opportunities for people to move up they would not have had otherwise,” said Mark Kinders, vice president for public affairs at the University of Central Oklahoma. “Financially, they are exceeding where their parents were at the time those students started school.” What’s the secret, or as Kinders calls it “the spe- cial sauce”? UCO and the other five RUSO institutions emphasize building strong personal relationships with their students to help the learning process, he said.

  • Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies” Initiative Are Shown in the Sanctuary at Mount Triumph Baptist Church in Oklahoma City
    RELIGION EDITOR Leading Ladies Northeast Oklahoma City church women are helping moms, babies through health initiative Carla Hinton [email protected] Members of the “Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies” initiative are shown in the sanctuary at Mount Triumph Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. They are, from left to right, Carla McCarrell-Williams, the Rev. Octavia Lindsay, Stacy Dykstra, Barbara Colbert, Karen Jacobs, Lisa Dorn and Rhonda Mitchell. [PHOTO BY SARAH PHIPPS, THE OKLAHOMAN] HOW TO HELP For more information about the “Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies,” contact Barbara Colbert at the Oklahoma City-County Health Department at 425-4427 or email [email protected]. Often known as the “first lady” of their churches, pastors’ wives are typically some of the busiest women in their congregations. There are also women who are church pastors in their own right. A group of pastors’ wives, female pastors and other female leaders at several northeast Oklahoma City churches recently have expanded their leadership roles to include a pilot project aimed at helping pregnant women and new moms in their community. They call themselves “Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies.” The new initiative is a partnership between women at 26 churches, the state Department of Human Services’ Office of Community and Faith Initiatives and the Oklahoma City-County Health Department. Karen Jacobs, administrator for the Office of Community and Faith Initiatives, said the project is aimed at reducing the infant mortality in predominantly black northeast Oklahoma City and improving the health of black women. She said infant mortality is twice as high for black babies than any other minority, and northeast Oklahoma City has one of the highest infant mortality rates in Oklahoma.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.
