No end to Haiti’s suffering, nor her support

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

end nurse Colette Whelan has traveled across the globe to help people injured in natural disasters, from Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami to Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake.

But treating patients in Haiti, where a cholera outbreak has affected an es-

timated 80,000 people and killed more than 1,800, has been one of her most difficult volunteer efforts. “After a natural disaster, you have the initial influx of the trauma after the disaster — but there’s an end to that,” said Whelan, a volunteer with the Tigard-based Medical Teams International.

In Haiti, people are pouring into clinics,

day and night, she said.

She treated close to 70 people on a shift, stepping over children 10 to a mattress to make sure each was receiving proper care. And the rate of patients coming to the clinic does not seem to be letting up, said Whelan, who returned from the beleaguered country Thursday night.

On to the big game

When map is redrawn, region’s set to benefit Population boost could translate to more clout — though Bend’s district is in an interesting position

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Central Oregon appears to be the big winner when Oregon lawmakers redraw legislative district lines next year.

On Dec. 15, the state will certify population estimates showing that Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties have gained the most in population since the 2000 census, meaning the region stands to gain in clout in future legislatures.

Once every decade, the Legislature is asked to redraw legislative and congressional district lines on a map to reflect changes in population; the latest changes will come just in time for the 2012 elecIN THE tions. The census releases official LEGISLATURE population numbers in March.

“Basically any place that’s grown faster than the rest of the state in the last 10 years should have increased representation, and Deschutes has been the fastestgrowing county in the state,” said Charles Rynerson.

Rynerson coordinates the Oregon State Data Center, a unit at Portland State University that serves as the state counterpart to the U.S. Census Bureau.

This boost in political power could have a tangible effect on Central Oregon. With more lawmakers, the region will be stronger in comparison to other areas as future legislatures meet to write laws and decide where the state spends its money.

University of Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff, center, and his teammates celebrate with fans in a win over Oregon State in the 114th Civil War on Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. The Ducks won the game 37-20 — and finished the regular season undefeated. Oregon also likely earned a spot in the Bowl Championship Series national title game, which will take place on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz.; official confirmation of that comes today.

CANCUN, Mexico — Like the warming atmosphere above, a once-taboo idea hangs over the slow, frustrating U.N. talks to curb climate change: the idea to tinker with the atmosphere or the planet itself, pollute the skies to ward off the sun, fill the oceans with gaseating plankton — do whatever it takes.

As climate negotiators grew

more discouraged in recent months, U.S. and British government bodies urged stepped-up studies of such “geoengineering.”

The U.N. climate science network decided to assess the options. And a range of new research moved ahead in America and elsewhere.

“The taboo is broken,” said Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric scientist.

The state of Illinois is still paying off billions in bills that it got from schools and social service providers last year. Arizona recently stopped paying

for certain organ transplants for people in its Medicaid program.

States are releasing prisoners early, more to cut expenses than to reward good behavior. And Newark, N.J., laid off 13 percent of its police officers last week.

While next year could be even

worse, there are bigger, longerterm risks, financial analysts say.

Their fear is that even when the economy recovers, the shortfalls will not disappear, because many state and local governments have so much debt.

NASA’S WOES

One small step to budget cuts • Set against the rest of NASA’s $18.7 billion budget, spending on the astronauts is relatively small potatoes. But with the space shuttle program set to retire, even the space agency’s most sacred cow — the 64member astronaut corps — isn’t safe from the possibility of cuts.

UNPRECEDENTED MILITARY ORDER ENDS AIRPORT STRIKE IN SPAIN Flight information screens were blank Saturday at Barajas Airport in Madrid. Spain has declared a “state of alarm” for the first time since returning to democracy in response to a wildcat strike by air traffic controllers that had closed air traffic at the start of one of the year’s biggest holiday weekends. All over the country, people marooned at airports told stories of being herded around like cattle in search of information. So the government put 2,000-odd air traffic controllers under military authority; they then began returning to work for their afternoon shifts, but air travel in and out of Spain was likely to be disrupted for the next couple of days.

As a professor of constitutional law, as a U.S. senator and as a presidential candidate, Barack Obama paid heed to the bedrock American principle that a president’s power is properly checked

by Congress and the courts.

But after two years in the Oval Office, Obama’s use of executive power is a work in progress.

On issues of national security, he’s defining his power broadly, sometimes testing the limits of checks and balances. He’s kept many of the controversial powers President George W. Bush claimed, including the license to imprison suspected terrorists without trial and to kill them overseas, even if they’re U.S. citizens.

On domestic issues, he’s more tentative, often deferring to lawmakers.

At the same time, he’s considering bold new executive moves that likely could never pass Congress.

Among them: using the massive purchasing power of the federal government to reward businesses that pay a living wage, and regulating emissions that cause global warming without first winning legislation to combat climate change. But these initiatives have percolated in his administration for months without decision, and he still could balk.

Taken together, analysts say, the record suggests a leader still finding his way.

Building on the past He’s growing more comfortable with his power in questions of national security, where it’s often exercised behind closed doors.

He’s less sure-footed asserting himself domestically, where his moves would be more visible and open to rebuke from Congress or big political forces that he wants to court, such as business. And he’s moved quickest to keep many of the national security powers he inherited from a president he often criticized for using them.

Rather than change course, Obama is, with some exceptions, embracing the powers amassed by his predecessors — and building on them. “The president ran as if he were going to be a bulwark against excessive executive branch power,” said Laura Murphy, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union. “Instead, he’s doing what happens to most people who get into power, who think ... ‘I know what I’m doing.’”

Obama did roll back some of the powers that Bush claimed, notably the right to use such methods as waterboarding while interrogating suspected terrorists. But he’s kept others, and thus strengthened presidential powers claimed by his predecessor.

“It’s very dangerous,” said Murphy at the ACLU. “Each president thinks he’s doing the right thing for the moment, not always understanding the precedent he establishes for future presidents.”

Whoever controls the White House generally works to add more power to the presidency. Former Vice President Dick Cheney, for example, was a forceful advocate for greater power in the Oval Office. His experience as White House chief of staff under President Gerald Ford convinced him that Congress had constrained the presidency far too much following the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal.

Veterans of the Clinton White House say Obama can flex his executive powers without permission from Congress — at least the new one, where Republicans will control the House of Representatives. “Congressional gridlock doesn’t mean that progress has to stand still,” said former White House chief of staff John Podesta.

Obama’s challenge will be to minimize hostile reaction to his orders. Too much reaction could drive Congress to curb his initiatives. As Obama enters the second half of his term facing a more Republican Congress, he’s poised to test whether Congress will push back and, if so, how hard.

BUSH TAX CUTS STALLED IN SENATE

Showdown paves way for a year-end tax deal

By David Espo The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans derailed legislation Saturday to extend expiring tax cuts at all but the highest income levels in a political showdown that paradoxically clears a path for a compromise with the White House on steps to boost the economy.

“We need to get this resolved, and I’m confident we can do it,” President Barack Obama said shortly after the near-party-line votes. The public must have “the peace of mind that their taxes will not go up” on Jan. 1, he added.

Obama has signaled that he will bow to Republican demands for extending tax cuts at all income levels, and his remarks capped a day that lurched between political conflict and talk of compromise on an issue that played a leading role in November’s elections.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., eyeing the 2012 campaign, accused Republicans of siding with “millionaires and billionaires” with their rejection of proposals that would let tax cuts passed during George W. Bush’s presidency lapse on seven-figure incomes.

Republicans noted that unemployment rose to 9.8 percent last month and said it made no sense to raise taxes on anyone in a weak economy.

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., jabbed

that Democrats were undergoing a “political catharsis” in public after losing control of the House and surrendering several seats in the Senate in the Nov. 2 election.

But the rhetoric subsided quickly after the votes, and Senate leaders in both parties said they hoped political clashes would give way to compromise in the next several days.

What a compromise could include Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, said talks were continuing on the length of an extension to be enacted for the cuts that were put in place in 2001 and 2003. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he hoped for an agreement by the middle or end of this week on legislation that would combine an extension of tax cuts with a renewal of expiring jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.

Officials have said that in addition to tax cuts and unemployment benefits, the White House wants to include renewal of several other tax provisions that are expiring.

They include a break for lowerand middle-class wage earners, even if they don’t make enough to pay the government, as well as for college students and for companies that hire the unemployed.

Many congressional Democrats privately have expressed anger at Obama for his willingness to surrender to Republican demands to

New START treaty back on track?

In addition to tax cuts, President Barack Obama has made ratification of a new arms control treaty with Russia a priority of the postelection session of Congress, reducing his leverage with Republicans in the struggle over taxes. Senior Senate Republicans have indicated they will not try to interfere with a debate on the issue as long as government spending and tax-cut issues have been resolved to their satisfaction.

A two-thirds majority is required for ratification, meaning the White House will need the support of at least nine Republicans to prevail. Vice President Joe Biden — who on Saturday called on Congress to extend unemployment benefits and middleclass tax breaks — and other officials have been involved in talks with several GOP senators in hopes of lining up the votes needed.

— The Associated Press

let the tax cuts remain in place at upper incomes. Any deal would mean a reversal for Obama, who said in the 2008 presidential race and this year that he wanted to let cuts expire above incomes of $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

In the Senate, a bill to enact Obama’s original position was blocked on a vote of 53-36, seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance. Republicans were unanimous in their opposition and were joined by four Democrats and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.

The second measure would have let taxes rise on incomes over $1 million. It appeared crafted to appeal to senators from states with large high-income populations, as well as cast Republicans as protectors of the rich. It was blocked on a

slightly different lineup of 53-37.

The White House opposed the second measure bill, and given the president’s willingness to sign a bill to extend all the expiring tax cuts, there was never any doubt about the outcome of the day’s proceedings in the Senate. But Democrats said that even with elections nearly two years away, they intended to try and depict Republicans as defenders of the rich whose policies contribute to rising deficits.

Alluding to the 2012 elections, Schumer said about Republicans: “I’m going to be here for the next year, next two years, to remind my colleagues that they were willing to increase the deficit $300 billion to give tax breaks to people who have income over a million dollars.”

W B Chaos in Ivory Coast: 2 take oath of office ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The two candidates in Ivory Coast’s disputed presidential election took dueling oaths of office Saturday after each claimed victory, as the political crisis spiraled out of control and renewed unrest in this country once split by civil war.

Incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo defied calls from the United States, the United Nations and France to concede defeat, wrapping himself in the Ivorian flag as he was sworn in for another term. Hours later, opposition candidate Alassane Ouattara announced that he too had taken his own oath.

The West African nation’s long-awaited presidential election was meant to restore stability in what was once one of the most affluent countries in Africa. Each candidate has his own army. On Saturday, Ouattara supporters took to the streets, burning tires and a table in one neighborhood.

The country was placed on lockdown immediately after the commission announced Ouattara’s win on Thursday, with a decree read on state TV saying the nation’s air and land borders had been closed.

Bombs targeting Iraq’s Shiites kill 17 BAGHDAD — A string of bombings killed 17 people across Iraq’s capital on Saturday, including Iranian pilgrims near a revered shrine and shoppers at a Shiite neighborhood market, authorities said.

The attacks — several roadside bombs and cars packed with explosives — wounded more than 100 people. Most of the casualties were likely Shiite Muslims, a frequent target of Sunni insurgents who have long sought to provoke civil war in Iraq. Attacks by Sunni extremists on Shiite pilgrims and Iraqi Shiites helped fuel a surge of violence between the two main Islamic sects during the height of Iraq’s bloodshed between 2005 and 2007, as the insurgency against U.S. forces gave way to sectarian fighting.

Abbas warns Israel of occupiers’ burden RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has warned he may dissolve his government and ask Israel to resume full control of the West Bank if troubled peace talks fail.

Dismantling the Palestinian Authority would be a last resort, Abbas told Palestine TV in an interview late Friday. However, his comments marked the most explicit warning yet that he’s considering a step that could crush lingering hopes for a Mideast peace deal.

If Abbas were to take such a step, Israel, as a military occupier, would have to assume full responsibility again for 2.2 million Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel was relieved of that financial burden with the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, as part of interim peace deals.

Meanwhile, Israel’s rainstarved and wind-whipped north burned for a third day on Saturday as the police announced the arrest of two men they suspect of negligently starting the blaze. The fire has killed 41 people and destroyed 12,500 acres of forest.

Meningitis vaccine brings hope to Africa For more than a century, epidemics of bacterial meningitis have swept across Africa, arriving with the dry “harmattan” winds to kill with terrifying speed. But on Monday, a drive starts to inoculate tens of millions of West Africans with a new vaccine in what scientists hope will be the beginning of the end of ravaging meningitis epidemics.

The aim is for these immunization campaigns to spread from Senegal in the west to Ethiopia in the east and bring the disease under control in a belt of 25 nations that girds the continent, saving an estimated 150,000 lives by 2015. Millions more dollars are still needed to accomplish that goal in coming years, but the vaccine itself is a major milestone in developing inexpensive vaccines against neglected diseases that afflict poor countries, experts say.

Leaks depict hacking by a Web-wary China

By James Glanz and John Markoff New York Times News Service

As China ratcheted up the pressure on Google to censor its Internet searches last year, the American Embassy sent a secret cable to Washington detailing one reason top Chinese leaders had become so obsessed with the Internet search company: They were Googling themselves.

The May 18, 2009, cable, titled “Google China Paying Price for Resisting Censorship,” quoted a well-placed source as saying that Li Changchun, a member of China’s top ruling body, the Politburo Standing Committee, and the

Debt Continued from A1 And the debt measures in the several trillion dollars, with much of it off the books and largely hidden from view. “It seems to me that crying wolf is probably a good thing to do at this point,” said Felix Rohatyn, the financier who helped save New York City from bankruptcy in the 1970s.

Some of the same people who warned of the looming subprime crisis two years ago are ringing alarm bells again. Their message: Not just small towns or dying Rust Belt cities, but also large states like Illinois and California are increasingly at risk.

Municipal bankruptcies or defaults have been extremely rare — no state has defaulted since the Great Depression, and only a handful of cities have declared bankruptcy or are considering doing so. But the finances of some state and local governments are so distressed that some analysts say they are reminded of the run-up to the subprime mortgage meltdown or of the debt crisis hitting nations in Europe.

Analysts fear that at some point — no one knows when — investors could balk at lending to the weakest states, setting off a crisis that could spread to the stronger ones, much as the turmoil in Europe has spread from country to country.

Rohatyn warned that while municipal bankruptcies were rare, they appeared increasingly possible. And the imbalances were so large in some places that the federal government would likely have to step in at some point, he said, even if that seems unlikely in the current political climate.

“I don’t like to play the scared rabbit, but I just don’t see where the end of this is,” he added.

Resorting to fiscal tricks As the downturn has ground on, some of the worst-hit cities and states have resorted to fiscal sleight of hand to stay afloat, helping them close yawning budget gaps each year, but often at great future cost.

Few workers with neglected 401(k) retirement accounts would risk taking out second mortgages to invest in stocks, gambling that the investment gains would be enough to build bigger nest eggs and repay the loans.

But that is just what Illinois, which has been failing to make the required annual payments to its pension funds for years, is doing. It borrowed $10 billion in 2003 and used the money to invest in its pension funds. The recession sent their investment returns below their target, but the state must repay the bonds, with interest. The solution? Illinois sold another $3.5 billion worth of pension bonds this year and is planning to borrow another $3.7 billion for its pension funds.

It is the long-term problems of a handful of states, including California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York, that financial analysts worry about most, fearing that their problems might precipitate a crisis that could hurt other states by driving up their borrowing costs. But it is the short-term budget woes that most states, including Oregon, are facing that are preoccupying elected officials.

Illinois is not the only state behind on its bills. Many states, including New York, have delayed payments to vendors and local governments because they had too little cash on hand to make them. California paid vendors with IOUs last year. A handful of other states, worried about their cash flow, delayed paying tax refunds last spring.

Now, just as the downturn has driven up demand for state assistance, many states are cutting back. The demand for food stamps has been rising significantly in

country’s senior propaganda official, was taken aback to discover that he could conduct Chineselanguage searches on Google’s main international website. When Li typed his name into the search engine at google.com, he found “results critical of him.”

That cable from American diplomats was one of many made public by WikiLeaks that portray China’s leadership as nearly obsessed with the threat posed by the Internet to their grip on power — and, the reverse, by the opportunities it offered them, through hacking, to obtain secrets stored in computers of its rivals, espe-

cially the United States.

Extensive hacking operations suspected of originating in China, including one leveled at Google, are a central theme in the cables.

The operations began earlier and were aimed at a wider array of U.S. government and military data than generally known, including on the computers of United States diplomats involved in climate change talks with China.

One cable, dated early this year, quoted a Chinese person with family connections to the elite as saying that Li himself directed an attack on Google’s servers in the U.S., though that claim has been

Idaho, but tight budgets led the state to close nearly one-third of the field offices of the state’s Department of Health and Welfare, which take applications for them.

As states have cut aid to cities, many have resorted to previously unthinkable cuts, laying off police officers and closing firehouses.

Those cuts in aid to cities and counties, which are expected to continue, are one reason some analysts say cities are at greater risk of bankruptcy or are being placed under outside oversight.

Next year is unlikely to bring better news. States and cities typically face their biggest deficits after recessions officially end, as rainy-day funds are depleted and easy measures are exhausted.

States and municipalities currently have around $2.8 trillion worth of outstanding bonds, but that number is dwarfed by the debts that many are carrying off their books.

State and local pensions — another form of promised debt, guaranteed in some states by their constitutions — face hidden shortfalls of as much as $3.5 trillion by some calculations. And the health benefits that state and large local governments have promised their retirees going forward could cost more than $530 billion, according to the Government Accountability Office.

The credit ratings of a num-

ber of local governments have improved this year, not because their finances have strengthened somewhat, but because the ratings agencies have changed the way they analyze governments.

The new higher ratings, which lower the cost of borrowing, emphasize the fact that municipal defaults have been much rarer than corporate defaults.

This October, Moody’s issued a report explaining why it now rates all 50 states, even Illinois, as better credit risks than a vast majority of American nonfinancial companies.

One reason: the belief that the federal government is more likely to bail out a teetering state than a bankrupt company.

“The federal government has broadly channeled cash to all state governments during recent recessions and provided support to individual states following natural disasters,” Moody’s explained, adding that there was no way of being sure how Washington would respond to a bond default by a state, since it had not happened since the 1930s.

Some analysts fear the ratings are too sanguine, though, recalling that the ratings agencies also dismissed the possibility that a subprime crisis was brewing.

While most agree that defaults are unlikely, they fear that as states struggle with their grow-

ing debts, investors could decide not to buy the debt of the weakest state or local governments.

That would force a crisis, since states cannot operate if they cannot borrow. Such a crisis could then spread to healthier states, making it more expensive for them to borrow, if Europe is an example. Meredith Whitney, a bank analyst who was among the first to warn of the impact the subprime mortgage meltdown would have on banks, is warning that she sees similar problems with state and local government finances.

“The state situation reminded me so much of the banks, pre-crisis,” she said this fall on CNBC.

because it faced $68 million in debt payments related to a failed incinerator, which is more than the city’s entire annual budget.

Officials there have resisted raising taxes, though.

• Much of the debt of states and cities is off the books, just as the amount of mortgage-related debt turned out to be underestimated.

States and municipalities often understate their pension liabilities, in part by using accounting methods that would not be allowed in the private sector. Joshua Rauh, an associate professor of finance at Northwestern University, and Robert Novy-Marx, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Rochester, calculated that the true unfunded liability for state and local pension plans is roughly $3.5 trillion.

• The states and many cities still carry good ratings, and those issuing warnings are dismissed as alarmists, reminding some analysts of the lead up to the subprime crisis.

Now states are bracing for more painful cuts, more layoffs, more tax increases, more battles with public employee unions, more requests to bail out cities. And in the long term, as cities and states try to keep up on their debts, the very nature of government could change as they have less money left over to pay for the services they have long provided.

Eerie similarities to the subprime crisis There are eerie similarities between the subprime debt crisis and the looming municipal debt woes. Among them: • Just as housing was once considered a sure bet — prices would never fall all across the country at the same time, conventional wisdom suggested — municipal bonds have long been considered an investment safe enough for grandmothers, because states could always raise taxes to pay their bondholders.

Colette Whelan, a nurse with the Oregon Public Health Division who lives in Bend, has volunteered with the Tigard-based Medical Teams International in Haiti. She has made three trips to the country this year, after a magnitude-7 earthquake devastated the poor Caribbean nation in January. “There are some people who are just built for crisis, and I would certainly say Colette ... is one of those,” said Marlene Minor, a spokeswoman for Medical Teams International.

Continued from A1 “It’s not relenting at all,” Whelan said. “We’re seeing higher numbers and more outbreaks in different areas.”

On Friday, Whelan was back at her job with the Oregon Public Health Division, where she helps develop emergency preparedness plans.

The eight-day trip to northern Haiti was her third volunteer mission to the country this year. On her first trip, after the January magnitude-7 earthquake that struck west of Port-au-Prince, she helped with surgeries and treated secondary infections.

Last month, she returned twice to help treat people with cholera, a bacterial infection that can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting, leading to dehydration and shock. People can lose more than 2.5 gallons of fluids in a day, Whelan said, and if they don’t get treatment they can die within five or six hours.

But if people are treated — with intense rehydration procedures, including intravenous fluids and electrolyte-rich solutions — the death rate drops to about 1 percent, she said.

“It’s an easy fix, but it’s very resource-intensive to do it,” Whelan said.

She and the others with Medical Teams International helped at a clinic set up on the grounds of a private hospital, she said.

While some rooms housed patients, most were either under an awning in a porch-like area or in large military tents set up on the hospital grounds.

Some had cots; many lay on the ground or on mats. Each patient had a visitor who doubled as a caretaker, cleaning up the sheets and using bleach to disinfect from bodily fluids so as not to cause more contamination.

“The conditions were pretty bad,” she said. “It’s nothing like you would ever imagine here.”

The volume of patients coming into the clinic was incredible, she said, and many were carried on bed frames or in wheelbarrows for hours to reach help. She worked 12-hour shifts, sometimes without power at night.

“Operating in the dark, putting in IVs using our headlamps — it’s pretty austere medicine, at its best,” Whelan said.

But helping people who truly need assistance is what motivates her.

“I’ve always been interested in disaster medicine,” she said. “It’s a pure form of medicine. It’s easy to go in and make a difference in the initial aftermath of disaster.”

She has been a nurse for more than 20 years, she said, and got frustrated working in the American medical system’s inefficiencies, like people having to use emergency rooms for primary care. “In order to balance out my frustrations with that world, I kind of delved into disaster medicine,” she said.

When she goes to places like Haiti, she said, she is able to adjust her way of thinking and just do what she can with the resources at hand.

“I think I have some sort of a weird genetic makeup,” she said.

“I go in there, and I can compartmentalize it and get my stride, and realize this is what we’ve got, and this is what we can do with what we’ve got.”

Because of the intense situation in Haiti, Medical Teams International is only sending people with disaster experience, those who can handle the difficult situations, to the country, said spokeswoman Marlene Minor.

“There are some people who are just built for crisis, and I would certainly say Colette ... is one of those,” Minor said.

Although normally teams go to a site for a month at a time, in this case the Christian charity is sending new teams to Haiti every other week, Minor said. The teams work with local partners at hospitals and churches but help anyone regardless of religion, she said.

Whelan said her employer has been flexible in allowing her time to volunteer oversees. And if she had the financial means, she’d go back for six months to help out.

Being home after working in Haiti is a huge contrast, she said, and puts things in perspective.

“It’s always a shock to come back,” Whelan said. “It blows my mind what an airplane flight can do.”

72 ‘super PACs’ spent $83.7M on election

By T.W. Farnam The Washington Post

The newly created independent political groups known as “super PACs,” which raised and spent millions of dollars on last month’s elections, drew much of their funding from private equity partners and others in the financial industry, according to new financial disclosure reports.

The 72 super PACs, all formed this year, together spent $83.7 million on the election. The figures provide the best indication yet of the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions that opened the door for wealthy individuals and corporations to give unlimited contributions.

Redistricting Continued from A1 In the past 10 years, Deschutes has grown more than 49 percent, from more than 115,000 to more than 172,000, according to the center’s preliminary numbers. Crook County has grown more than 42 percent, from about 19,000 to more than 27,000. Jefferson County showed the thirdbiggest gain, at 20.3 percent, from 19,000 to nearly 23,000.

Political battles The state laws around redistricting have nothing to do with politics, instead calling for lines to be drawn whenever possible on the basis of existing geographic boundaries, transportation links and “communities of common interest.”

Nevertheless, redistricting has been the subject of bruising political battles as parties sought to boost their electoral hopes in as many districts as possible. Long ago, the practice spawned its own word, “gerrymandering,” the practice of drawing district lines for political gain.

“When you get down to it, the fact is it’s a partisan issue,” former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury said. In 2001, he took over redistricting after then-Gov. John Kitzhaber vetoed a proposed map offered by a Republican-dominated Legislature.

Bradbury said redistricting this year could benefit from the 30-30

The financial disclosure reports also underscore the extent to which the flow of corporate money will be tied to political goals. Private equity partners and hedge fund managers, for example, have a substantial stake in several issues before Congress, primarily the taxes they pay on their earnings.

“Super PACs provide a means for the super-wealthy to have even more influence and an even greater voice in the political process,” said Meredith McGehee, a lobbyist for the Campaign Legal Center, which advocates for tighter regulation of money in politics.

American Crossroads, a con-

servative super PAC that outspent its peers, pulled in six- and seven-figure donations from the financial industry. That included $500,000 from Anne Dias-Griffin, founder of the Aragon Global Management hedge fund, and her husband, Kenneth Griffin, founder of the Citadel Investment Group hedge fund.

Most of the donations from the financial industry went to interest groups attacking Democrats, the disclosure reports show.

Super PACs represent only one portion of the spending spurred by court decisions. Nonprofit groups that are not required to disclose their donors also spent heavily on the election.

split in the state House, as well as the 16-14 split in the state Senate.

“As difficult as the legislative process is going to be, it may in fact make redistricting by the Legislature possible,” Bradbury said, adding that the word “may” should be underlined.

Lawmakers of both parties have said they intend to do their best to handle redistricting on their own, rather than punting the job to the secretary of state again.

After meeting briefly in January to vote on leadership and rules, the Legislature will not begin in earnest until February. It has a June 30 deadline to adopt new district lines; if it doesn’t, the job falls to Secretary of State Kate Brown, a Democrat.

“The state has a very short time frame for drawing those boundaries,” Rynerson said.

trict lines that could literally draw him out of a job.

Starting in 2012, the average House district in Oregon will hold 64,000 people, according to Rynerson. That’s up from 57,000 when lines were drawn 10 years ago. In the meantime, Bend has grown from about 52,000 people — at the time nearly a perfect size for a district — to more than 82,000.

The city’s growth now means nearly 20,000 of Conger’s constituents could easily be split off from the Bend-centered district, including Conger himself.

If the new district maps are drawn in a way that preserves a Bend-centered district, it may well be drawn around downtown and the western side of town, which includes some of the most staunchly Democratic neighborhoods in the city, Rynerson said.

Conger lives on the eastern side of town, a quarter-mile west of the district’s eastern boundary.

Alternatively, the lines could be drawn in a way that divvies up Bend’s Democrats in a way that could lead to three Deschutes County districts that lean Republican.

“It is going to be interesting,” said Conger, whose seat again comes up for a vote in two years.

“Don’t think for a second that I haven’t been picturing these scenarios in my head — and wondering what will happen.”

Situation in Bend To get an idea of what redistricting means in political terms, you need to look no further than Deschutes County. In 2001, redistricting carved out Bend’s House District 54, making it a doughnut hole surrounded by District 53, which covers most of the rest of Deschutes County.

That, in turn, meant that Democratic voter-registration gains in Bend helped Judy Stiegler’s election to the House of Representatives in 2008. In November, however, Republican Jason Conger foiled Stiegler’s re-election bid.

Now, though, Conger could be asked to vote on a new set of dis-

Climate Continued from A1 But environmentalists are asking: Who’s in charge? Who gets to decide whether to take such drastic action, with possibly unforeseen consequences for people worldwide?

“This is really a risky, dangerous option,” said environmentalist Silvia Ribeiro, here for the two-week negotiating session of parties to the 193-nation U.N. climate treaty.

Just a few years ago, geoengineering was regarded as a fringe idea, a science-fiction playground for imaginative scientists and engineers. Schemes were floated for using aircraft, balloons or big guns to spread sulfate particles in the lower stratosphere to reflect sunlight, easing the warming scientists say is being caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted by industry, vehicles and agriculture.

Others suggested assembling gargantuan mirrors in orbit to fend off the solar radiation. Still others propose — and a German experiment tried — seeding the ocean with iron, a nutrient that would spur the spread of plankton, which absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Sky, sea and land — the ideas vary, from spraying ocean clouds with sea salt to make them brighter and more reflective; to planting vast arid lands with agave, the tequila plant that stores carbon for years and grows where climatefriendly forests can’t; to developing the chemistry and machines to suck in CO2 from the air and store it.

Whatever the doubts, “we are amazingly farther up the road on geoengineering,” Crutzen, who wrote a 2006 scientific article that sparked interest in geoengineering, said by telephone from Germany.

Specialists regard the stratospheric sulfates proposal as among the most feasible. The U.S. government’s National Center for Atmospheric Research has undertaken computer modeling to assess its effect, for one thing, on the protective ozone layer.

The Colorado center also is researching the brightening of maritime stratocumulus clouds with seawater droplets. The center’s John Latham, a British physicist, has drawn up plans for a field trial, although he said they’re not

“The greatest challenges may be the social, ethical, legal and political issues associated with (geoengineering).”

— 2009 report from the Royal Society, Britain’s national science academy yet funded.

But funding may not be far off.

In September, the Government Accountability Office recommended in a 70-page report that the White House “establish a clear strategy for geoengineering research” within its science office. A month later, a report from Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., who chairs the House Science and Technology Committee, urged the government to consider climate-engineering research “as soon as possible in order to ensure scientific preparedness for future climate events.”

‘Plan B’ The U.S. panel had collaborated in its study with a British House of Commons committee.

“We may need geoengineering as a ‘Plan B,’” the British report

said, if nations fail to forge agreement on a binding treaty to rein in greenhouse gases.

Perhaps most significantly, the U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, the global authority on climate science, agreed in October to take on geoengineering in its next assessment report. Its hundreds of scientists will begin with a session next spring.

“You have to understand its potential. We also have to understand the downside,” IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri said in an interview. Of the proposed sulfate layer, he asked, “What might be some of the implications of making that change in the atmosphere?”

Skepticism Skeptics point to implications: For one, blocking the sun could itself suddenly shift the climate, especially precipitation patterns.

For another, it would do nothing to keep the atmospheric CO2 buildup from acidifying the oceans, a grave threat to marine life.

But the science and engineering may be the easier part, says Britain’s national science academy.

“The greatest challenges,” the Royal Society said in a 2009 report, “may be the social, ethical, legal and political issues associ-

ated with governance.”

Activist Ribeiro’s Canadabased ETC organization accuses Washington of taking a “coalition of the willing” approach to geoengineering, going ahead with its British ally and perhaps others, disregarding the rest of the world.

And critics suggest the Americans, whose resistance to mandatory emissions reductions has long helped block a global climate deal, view “Plan B” as a “Plan A” to avoid having to rein in emissions.

The ETC campaigners scored a coup in October at a biodiversity treaty conference in Japan, where the parties adopted a vague moratorium on geoengineering experiments that might endanger biodiversity. One problem: The U.S. is not a party to that treaty.

“Can anything be meaningful if the U.S. is not a party to it?” said Scott Barrett, an environmental policy expert at New York’s Columbia University. He helped organize a geoengineering conference last March in California. He said he wants to see emissions slashed, not the climate manipulated. But he opposes research bans.

“What happens if we discover we’re on the precipice of a runaway greenhouse effect, and the only thing we can do is geoengineering? Are people going to say you can’t do it?” he asked.

NASA assesses role and size of its astronaut corps

By Mark K. Matthews The Orlando Sentinel

WASHINGTON — With NASA’s budget under pressure and the space shuttle set to retire, even the agency’s most sacred cow — the 64-member astronaut corps — isn’t safe from the possibility of cuts.

At the behest of the White House, the nation’s top science advisers this month launched a 10-month study of the appropriate “role and size” of the astronaut corps after the final shuttle mission next year.

The study, by the National Academies, reflects two realities: NASA’s budget, squeezed by congressional budget hawks and its own cost overruns, needs every penny. And, more significantly, the United States may not need all these astronauts.

“Clearly, there won’t be a lot of flying going on after the shuttle goes away,” said Leroy Chiao, a former astronaut and a member of the 2009 presidential commission that examined NASA’s future. “It’s reasonable to say the astronaut office should be smaller.

How much smaller depends on ... what you want these guys to be doing.”

At most, three shuttle missions remain on the calendar. Two require six-member crews; a third, a potential rescue mission, has a designated crew of four. An additional 11 astronauts are preparing for long-duration stays aboard the International Space Station — and likely will get there aboard Russian Soyuz rockets.

But that still leaves more than half of the 64 current astronauts — nine more are in training — without a mission.

NASA officials said that imbalance is a matter of timing, as more than 30 additional station mission slots available through 2020 haven’t been assigned yet.

But critics say scientists and engineers could fill these slots without going through expensive astronaut training.

And astronauts won’t be riding a new rocket beyond low Earth orbit for years.

W h at’s next for space?

Under a plan approved by Congress and the White House this fall, NASA’s next spacecraft capable of carrying humans to the station won’t be ready until 2017 at the earliest. At the same time, the agency’s manned spaceflight plans are in flux. Under the Bush administration, the target was the moon by 2020. But President Barack Obama has asked NASA to aim for a first-ever trip to an asteroid by 2025.

Astronauts are expensive, notes Howard McCurdy, a space policy expert and a professor at American University; keeping them on the government payroll isn’t like “maintaining a couple of extra forest rangers.” But, he said, before resizing the astronaut corps, it’s important to figure out its role.

“The big question is: Where are we going and when?”

Joseph Rothenberg, a former NASA official and co-chair of the National Academies study, framed the issue this way: “How do we maintain (astronaut) proficiency and make sure the capability we have doesn’t erode due to idleness? At the same time, we want to make sure (the astronaut office) is not overstaffed.”

NASA officials said they base the size of the astronaut corps on a complicated series of factors and said the number of astronauts has dropped by more than half since a high-water mark of 149 in 2000.

How much money?

Set against the rest of NASA’s $18.7 billion budget, spending on the astronaut office is relatively small potatoes — in the tens of millions of dollars, though NASA wouldn’t say just how much.

The 47 civilian astronauts earn $65,000 to $101,000; the 17 military astronauts are paid by the Defense Department, which is reimbursed by NASA. The major cost is for training, including the corps’ fleet of T-38 trainer aircraft; a “neutral buoyancy” water tank used to train spacewalkers; and other facilities at Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA officials also did not provide an estimate for that cost in the 2010 budget.

The National Academies investigators have been asked specifically to examine the T-38 fleet.

More generally, they also will look into the role and size of the astronaut corps and the facilities used to support them.

The supersonic jets have been used by NASA for decades to prepare astronauts for the rigors of spaceflight. But such training may no longer be needed; NASA wants to launch future astronauts on capsules, which, unlike the

winged shuttle, can’t be flown once they begin re-entry.

The hero effect A key obstacle to cutting the astronaut corps, noted by McCurdy and others, is the immense symbolism tied to a team that once put men on the moon. And NASA

tries to maximize that symbolism: Astronauts made 521 public appearances in 2009 — and have made 517 so far this year, with some involving more than one astronaut, NASA records show.

U.S. Rep. Pete Olson, a Texas Republican who represents Johnson Space Center, said the corps was a “national asset” that pro-

vides more than just expertise.

“They are the faces of human space exploration,” he said. “There is no budgetary savings that can pay for the loss in stature.”

But one budget analyst argued that even the astronauts could benefit from a sharp reduction in the corps. Rather than work for the government, ex-astronauts

could find jobs with the commercial-rocket companies working to provide a U.S. alternative to Russian flights to the space station.

“These people obviously possess unique skills,” said Tad DeHaven of the Cato Institute. “There could be tremendous opportunity for them (astronauts) under private manned spaceflight.”

Who wants to be an astronaut?

Concerns about NASA’s future have not diminished the appeal of being an astronaut. More than 3,500 hopefuls applied for the 2009 class. It’s a time-honored NASA tradition to give every new astronaut class a derogatory nickname, chosen by the class that preceded it. This group is “The Chumps” — fitting for the first in a generation without a spacecraft.

show, talk about low-stress animal handling and how wolves are adding new stresses in the lives of cattle and ranchers.

“Wolves that dine on elk, those are the ones we want to keep.

But we need to get rid of wolves that like to dine on cattle,” Grandin said during her presentation

at the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association Convention.

She said wolves that develop a taste of cattle, sheep, pets or humans should probably be killed before other wolves pick up their bad habit.

In response to audience questions about whether it would

be preferable to use nonlethal means to discourage wolves from attacking cattle, such as attaching bells to cow collars or coating calves with stinky stuff, Grandin said that while those tactics have been somewhat successful in discouraging wolves initially, they don’t seem to work once a wolf has tasted beef.

Season’s spectacle

U.S. Senate • INCREASING FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OF FOOD PRODUCTION AND SAFETY Passed 73-25 on Tuesday.

The bill allows the Food and Drug Administration to order recalls of tainted food products for the first time and increases inspections and record-keeping requirements by large food producers. It includes exceptions for smaller farms and food producers. The plan was to send the bill to the U.S. House and then on to the president, but a procedural screw-up by top Senate Democrats (who apparently forgot about the constitutional requirement that revenue-raising bills must originate in the House) prevented the measure from becoming law last week. Democrats said they were searching for a way around the procedural mishap.

• BANNING EARMARKS FOR 3 YEARS Failed 39-56 on Tuesday.

The ban on members of Congress directing spending to specific projects was proposed by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., as an amendment to the food safety bill.

U.S. House • FUNDING FEDERAL OPERATIONS UNTIL DEC. 18

A

dusting of snow welcomed Bend’s Christmas Parade on Saturday, adding a festive touch to the annual tradition.

Hundreds of local residents lined Wall Street and Riverside Boulevard to see high school bands, animals, service clubs and even Mary Barackman, the “Little Caesars Lady” known for her near-daily performances at the intersection of Third Street and Reed Market Road. Barackman and her counterpart from the Redmond restaurant, Marty Byrley, donned their cardboard guitars to rock out atop a flatbed truck for an appreciative crowd.

Spectator Jenna Bridges, 41, of Bend, said she never misses the parade.

“It’s great fun. You see everybody down here,” she said. “And when you get snow for the parade? Even better.”

Passed 239-178 on Wednesday.

Because lawmakers have yet to pass the spending bills that fund federal operations for the federal fiscal year that began on Oct. 1, they’ve passed a series of short-term “continuing resolutions.” The bill continues spending at current levels. It passed the Senate on Friday and was signed into law.

The proposal passed as an amendment to the Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2010, as a procedural trick

by Democrats. They wanted to avoid letting Republicans force a vote on extending tax cuts for people earning more than $250,000. If Congress doesn’t act, tax cuts passed in 2001 and 2003 will expire at the end of the year, increasing taxes for most households.

Stable weather for near future Bulletin staff report Mild atmospheric disturbances and an absence of offshore storms should result in fairly stable weather over the next several days in Central Oregon, according to the National Weather Service.

Vincent Papol, senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Pendleton, said local residents can expect high temperatures in the mid30s to around 40 through next Thursday, with a slight chance of precipitation most days. Temperatures could warm Monday and Tuesday, making rain more likely than snow in Bend and Redmond.

Higher elevation communities like La Pine and Sunriver and lower elevation communities like Prineville and Madras can expect the same, with mostly cloudy conditions and temperatures within the same range.

Temperatures should stay at or below freezing at Mt. Bachelor and elsewhere in the Cascades, but no substantial snow accumulations are expected in the mountains in the near future.

TI RE CHAINS

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

Though the recession is still hitting many residents of Central Oregon hard, several local nonprofits have reported that there hasn’t been a significant drop in donations from community members this year compared with 2009.

“We’re just a little behind the pace we had hoped for, but it’s small enough so that we think we can close the gap,” said Ken Wilhelm, executive director of United Way of Deschutes County. “Our loyal donors have remained loyal, and a lot are still giving at their previous levels.”

According to Wilhelm, the numbers of individual donations have only been slightly lower than in years past. At this point in 2009, the organization had raised $750,389. Currently, the organization is at $717,707, with a year-end goal of $1.3 million.

EUGENE

Barista who shot robber still has a job, boss says

By Jack Moran The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — The barista who fatally shot a would-be robber at a Dutch Bros. coffee kiosk in Eugene on Nov. 24 broke company rules by taking a gun to work, but he’ll be welcomed back if and when he’s ready to return to the job, the company’s top executive says.

Travis Boersma, of Grants Pass, whose drive-through coffee chain includes more than 150 locations in five states, told The Register-Guard that he supports the employee for defending himself during the robbery attempt.

“Under this unique circumstance, the (barista) who went through this horrific event did everything to protect his own life,” Boersma said.

Lane County prosecutors concluded earlier this week that the Dutch Bros. worker — a man in his 20s who has not been publicly identified — would face no criminal charges.

Boersma disclosed that the barista took a gun with him to work the day of the incident — a detail that Eugene police have declined to release to the public.

A police log entry indicates that the worker called 911 at 9 p.m. to report he had exchanged gunfire with a man who tried to rob the kiosk. The suspected robber, 27-year-old Eugene resident Sirus Combs, was pronounced

dead at the scene.

Police said a second man who accompanied Combs ran and remains at large — something that Boersma said concerns him greatly. Police have not said whether they know the identity of the man.

Boersma said the barista was working alone when Combs and his accomplice approached the stand and tried to rob it.

Boersma declined to provide further details.

The man who shot Combs has worked for Dutch Bros. nearly three years. Boersma said he did not know how long the employee had been taking a gun to work, but the barista is trained and experienced with firearms.

Dutch Bros. — a company that Boersma said was “built on love and relations” — prohibits employees from carrying guns while at work. But the policy violation won’t cost the barista his job, Boersma said.

The company has offered the man counseling and placed him on paid leave for one month.

Boersma said he has spoken with his employee several times since the shooting.

“He’s been through a lot, and we’re giving him our whole support,” Boersma said. “When he’s ready to come back, we’ll be ready to have him back.”

All employees of the kiosk were given a week of paid leave, Boersma said.

Kitzhaber says Portland will be home as governor

By Harry Esteve The Oregonian

PORTLAND — When he takes office next month, Gov.elect John Kitzhaber plans to spend most of his time in Portland, he says, rather than take up permanent residence in Mahonia Hall, the Salem mansion provided for Oregon governors.

That’s a historic change that reflects not only Kitzhaber’s “I Did It My Way” style but also a recent trend of Oregon leaders who seem to prefer Portland’s bustling culture to the sleepier neighborhoods of Salem.

And, in another first, when the twice-divorced Kitzhaber does stay in Mahonia, so will his girlfriend, Cylvia Hayes, at times — making them the only unmarried pair to share the house since it was donated for public use in 1988. Gov. Neil Goldschmidt and his first wife, Margie, were the first official couple to live there.

“Cylvia will continue to keep her home in Bend, but she will also stay at Mahonia Hall when in Salem,” said Amy Wojcicki, spokeswoman for the team that is working on Kitzhaber’s transition back into the job he held from 1995 to 2003.

Wojcicki said there are “no plans” for Hayes to receive protection from the Oregon State Police, who provide bodyguards to governors and their family members. But there may be other instances in which Hayes, who runs a green energy consulting company, benefits from taxpayer-provided services.

“She is the governor-elect’s partner and as such will be involved in public activities and events supported by state funds,” Wojcicki said.

MILITARY NOTES In an interview with The Oregonian, Kitzhaber said he plans to keep his house in Portland, rather than selling and moving to Salem as current Gov. Ted Kulongoski did.

“I’m probably going to be in Portland when the Legislature is not in session,” said Kitzhaber, whose 13-year-old son, Logan, goes to school in the city.

“There’s no reason to hang out down there (in Salem)” when lawmakers aren’t meeting.

Kulongoski plans to move out Dec. 10, according to his spokeswoman, Anna Richter Taylor.

He and his wife, Mary Oberst, have bought a house in their old Laurelhurst neighborhood in Portland.

Wojcicki said Kitzhaber has no plans to rent an office or have permanent staff in Portland.

When necessary, he’ll use conference rooms in the state offices at the World Trade Center, as Kulongoski does, she said.

Salem is the seat of government, headquarters of most state agencies and the place where the governor’s staff spends nearly all its working hours. But Portland could be considered the center of financial and political power in the state.

In some ways, Kitzhaber is picking up where he left off. Midway through his second term as governor, he and his then-wife Sharon Kitzhaber bought a home in Portland, and he com-

muted frequently to Salem.

In that, he joins a growing group of state government leaders who live in Portland and spend parts of their weeks in Salem. Secretary of State Kate Brown averages four days a week in Salem, according to her spokeswoman. Attorney General John Kroger, who has an office in Portland, spends a majority of his time in Salem when the Legislature is in session, but more time in Portland and traveling around the state the rest of the year.

Reaction to Kitzhaber’s gubernatorial lifestyle choices was muted.

“I’m not going to comment on the governor’s personal life,” said Gerry Frank, a Salem businessman and political insider who helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and renovate the gated Tudor-style home overlooking the Willamette River. “He’s free to use the mansion as he wants.”

Chuck Bennett, a longtime schools lobbyist and member of the Salem City Council, said he doesn’t think locals will feel slighted by Kitzhaber’s decision.

“He’s very well-liked here,” Bennett said. “I hope as he puts himself through the drive on a regular basis, he’ll decide to make it a little closer. Fairmount Hill (Mahonia’s neighborhood) is a little closer than the hills of Portland.”

Broken pipe drenches 101-year-old Baker County courthouse The Associated Press BAKER CITY — Baker County is moving its offices out of the 101-year-old courthouse drenched by a pipe freeze-up, and damages are expected to exceed $500,000.

Baker County Commission Chairman Fred Warner Jr. says it’s still not clear what caused two valves to fail the last weekend of November. Temperatures were above zero — not nearly so cold as the week before, when they hit 9 below.

He tells the Baker City Herald the county is trying to have temporary quarters for all county offices by Monday.

Most workers are expected to be moved to a school building that was closed last year.

Some offices were badly damaged, but others were not. Warner says insurance adjusters and contractors are developing a repair plan.

Chris Pietsch / The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Cindy Moran, left, and partner Lawrence Kinney settle in for the night last month at the Egan Warming Center located in the basement of the First Christian Church in Eugene. The warming center program was founded in late 2008 after Maj. Thomas Egan, a homeless veteran, froze to death in Eugene’s Whiteaker district.

Eugene warming centers are a haven as chill arrives

By Sal Hubbard The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — Almost 200 people looking for shelter from the cold showed up at the Egan Warming Centers by about 9 p.m. on a Monday, the first time the shelters were opened this season.

The warming center program was founded in late 2008 after Maj. Thomas Egan, a homeless veteran, froze to death in Eugene’s Whiteaker district. The program pledged that, any time between Nov. 15 and March 31 when the temperature falls below 28 degrees, local homeless people would have somewhere warm to stay.

Four warming centers were opened Nov. 22 — at the First Christian Church, the Valley Covenant Church, the Dayspring Fellowship and Hosea Youth Services. The warming centers, which can house an average of 50 people, offer a dry bed, blankets and sleeping bags, and an evening meal to anyone who wants or needs them.

Among the people seeking shelter at the First Christian Church were Lawrence Kinney and Cynthia Moran. Originally from Utah, they’ve been homeless since 2009 when a fire destroyed their motor home, and their insurance company turned down their claim, they said.

For the past three weeks, they said, they’ve been sleeping in their car while Kinney, a Vietnam veteran, waits for his Section 8 Veterans Housing Voucher to come through. And Kinney es-

timates that that’s two long, cold months away.

“I’m tired of the car and getting busted by the police,” Moran said. “It’s nice to sleep indoors.”

“Good sandwich, good coffee,” Kinney added. “It’s good to see how people treat people here.”

Tom Revis, another First Christian guest, said he lost everything, including a $750,000 home in Daly City, Calif., in the financial crash of 2008.

He came to Eugene about a month ago from San Francisco after hearing of the area’s good reputation for helping homeless people, he said.

“I slept at the mission last night,” he said. “But I’ve been sleeping in the park sometimes.

That’s pretty rough.”

The warming centers program is still “working the bugs out of the system” as organizers attempt to make their services as easily accessible as possible, said Charley Harvey, assistant executive director at St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County.

But he added that he has been delighted by the response of the community: More than 350 volunteers have signed up and completed the required training and orientation seminar.

St. Vincent de Paul is coordinating the program, which is supported by 27 other agencies. The majority of the funding comes from a $30,000 Lane County grant, but some money has been raised through donations.

“There was such a big public outcry after Tom Egan’s death,” Harvey said. “Everyone said,

‘We can’t have people dying on our streets.’ That brought everyone together, working toward a common goal.”

“It’s really the coolest coalition,” Shannon Kearney, a volunteer for the program since 2008, added. “I’ve been to a lot of (organizational) meetings and everyone sees eye to eye, even though there are different groups of very diverse people involved. It’s made me proud of our community.”

Although organizers and volunteers, who have been trying to get the word out that the shelters were open, expected a slower night Nov. 22, a total of 186 people showed up.

One of the shelter volunteers, Jim Wood, had a simple answer for why he was there, doing kitchen duty.

“There’s a need, I got the time, so why not?” said Wood, a carnival worker currently in his off season. “I think I would struggle to help even one person by myself, but this program provides me with a framework to easily help lots and lots of people.”

PENDLETON — Agriculture researchers are investigating dying wheat fields to find out what damaged more than 40,000 acres in Eastern Oregon’s Umatilla and Morrow counties.

Umatilla County growers noticed wheat fields turning yellow and dying early in November, the East Oregonian reported.

Sixteen fields northwest of Pendleton were affected, according to Oregon State University Extension Service soil scientist Don Wysocki.

“There’s probably more than one thing going on in these particular fields, like in any field,” Wysocki said.

In Morrow County, officials say more than 30,000 acres of

wheat have plants with discolored yellow or purple tips that sometimes dry out.

Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon State University researchers say they don’t know yet if the problems in the two counties are related.

The symptoms have been observed in many fields in Morrow County but do not appear tied to any particular location, said Larry Lutcher, an associate professor with the OSU Extension Service.

“Most of the symptoms in Morrow County are unlike anything I have ever seen,” Lutcher said.

He doesn’t believe the problem will spread to other fields, but can’t be certain, he said.

“This does appear to be a new

problem — a problem that no one seems to have experience with,” Lutcher said.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture has sampled and tested the fields, but final results are not yet in. Preliminary samples showed some root pathogen issues, but officials said it was still early in the investigation.

The department and university sent surveys to growers asking about field history, planting dates, chemical use and where seed was purchased. Oregon State researchers also examined nearby fallow land to see if it was similarly affected.

“The big question on everyone’s mind right now is, how will the crop look this spring and will replanting be necessary?” Lutcher said.

Bhutanese teens find comfort, voice in Portland school club

By Anne Saker The Oregonian

PORTLAND — With students who speak 52 languages, David Douglas High School frequently witnesses young immigrants walk the high wire between respecting tradition and embracing this crazy new place, Portland. The journey can knock loose anger, sadness, confusion.

But from the Bhutanese Student Club, another emotion arises.

Happiness.

“To live as a refugee was really hard,” says senior Narayan Lamichhane, 19, who came to the United States in August 2008. “We are happy to get rid of that. We’re really, really proud.

We will have citizenship after five more years. We are happy to come here. It is the beginning of our human life.”

This past spring, half a dozen Bhutanese students went to English teacher Anne Downing and asked to form a club.

The school’s clubs organize in autumn, but the students were so persistent the administration said OK. The club members immediately applied for and won a $950 city grant for an art show. Then they set up a table for the school’s International Bite festival to serve savory samosas their parents made. Nearly every buyer asked, “Where’s Bhutan?” and a club member pointed to a tiny spot on a map, shaped like a dinner roll, on the eastern shoulder of India south of Tibet.

They made $200 in less than an hour.

“The kids made themselves ambassadors for Bhutan,” Downing says.

In October, the young ladies of the Bhutanese Student Club put on their native dress and danced the dances of their homeland for a student assembly, and the gym thundered with applause.

The next day, the club raised Bhutan’s red-and-yellow flag of the Thunder Dragon at school to celebrate the holiday Dashain Tika, which also featured the art show paid for with the grant.

“I’ve never seen such determination,” Downing says. “They believed they needed this club, not just for themselves, but for their little brothers and sisters and for the other kids who are landing here.”

Oregon’s Bhutanese community didn’t exist three years ago. Today, it numbers about 400, most settling in the David Douglas school district. Dates of arrival in the United States are stamped in memory like a birthday.

“You’re never going to forget that day,” says senior Birkha Chuwan, 18. His day is Feb. 20, 2010.

“It’s a dreamland,” says senior Sumitra Chhetri, 17. Her day, she adds, is Sept. 11, 2008.

The strange thing is that most of the club members have never even seen Bhutan.

About 675,000 people live in the poor, mountainous nation that did not own a passenger plane until 1980. The king decreed a policy of Gross National Happiness in the early 1990s to promote his people’s well-being amid economic development.

His policy, which also aimed to deter political unrest, required citizens to embrace Buddhism and speak Bhutanese.

But the Hindu minority, mainly farmers with roots and a language from neighboring Nepal, had lived in Bhutan since the 19th century. Still, those who chose not to accept the king’s definition of happiness had to leave.

Birkha Chuwan listens to his classmates during a meeting of the Bhutanese club at David Douglas High School.

“You’re never going to forget” the day you arrive in the U.S., Chuwan says.

For nearly 20 years, U.N. camps in Nepal housed 108,000 Bhutanese refugees in bamboo huts. Years of talks on repatriation went nowhere. Camp schools were established, with lessons in British English. Finally, in 2007, a dozen countries agreed to take the refugees. By 2013, 60,000 will have settled in the United States.

The children, who either were brought out of Bhutan as babies or born in the camps, formed their club at David Douglas. But they don’t want to limit membership. “They push out there and invite everyone to come and participate,” Downing says. “They would love it to have Somali or Vietnamese students joining the club. They have really embraced the diversity here.”

On a recent Friday in room 179, teenagers wearing T-shirts bearing the Thunder Dragon sit at desks arranged in a square, speaking in the musical curlicues of Nepali. Downing hands out the club’s agenda. First, though, Chhetri lifts her hand toward a boy in a green hoodie sitting across the square of desks.

“He just arrived here. Let’s welcome him!” and everyone claps. Another boy shyly raises his hand. “Oh, and you also?”

Chhetri asks. “Let’s clap for him, too.”

Downing praises the students for raising about $400 by raffling a donated bicycle at the Dashain Tika festival. “I don’t know how you did it, but you sure sold a lot of tickets in a really short amount of time.”

The club members grin and giggle. Then they take up their business, in Nepali; Chhetri directs the conversation, and Lamichhane tosses off one-liners that slay the room.

A discussion of future fundraisers runs long because, Downing says, “they don’t like to take votes. They talk and talk and talk until they reach consensus. It’s a leftover from living in the refugee camps. When I’ve asked them to take a vote, they say, ‘But then someone will be unhappy.’ So they keep talking.”

ACCESSIBLE AS PORTLAND (Editorial) A significant declaration was made by Theodore H. Wilcox at the meeting of the Oregon Development League in Salem last week. Here it is: Last June James J. Hill, the empire builder of the Northwest, gave me his word that he would not only invade the territory of the Harriman system, known as the State of Oregon, but gave me permission to quote him. The exact words used by Mr. Hill were: More miles of railroad will be built in the State of Oregon during the next five years, than in any state in the Union except Montana. I would have done it before if I could have gotten the money together.

From my other conversations with Hill, I feel able to say to this convention that Oregon is to be opened by railroad for the development sure to come and that the vast wilderness known as Central Oregon will be made as easily accessible as the suburbs of Portland.

Of course, some changes have come into the business world since last June, and some modifications have been made in the railroad programme. But the Central Oregon field occupies chief attention and the Hill forces are still pressing forward here.

One of the difficulties encountered is the “knocking” report sent to railroad headquarters from the very region being opened up by these new lines.

These emanate from men interested in keeping settlement and development out of the country — the stockmen chiefly. They are men of substance and experience and are in position to know a great deal about the country.

Therefore, their “knocking” hurts. When their motive is considered, the sting is less, but there ought to be, and must be, some effort to present convincing proof that the country is valuable for something beside fuzz tails and mavericks. The people of this region must assist Mr. Hill and Mr. Stevens to “make good” in their programme. Titans though they be, they are subject to human limitations, and it is very certain that they are entitled to cooperation and encouragement here.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 4, 1935 MIRACULOUS ESCAPES FEATURE TRAIN WRECK IN DEEP CANYON Overshadowing interest in the investigation into causes of the wreck early yesterday in Trout Creek gorge that resulted in the death of Phil J. Gallagher, veteran Oregon Trunk conductor, and Allen Hewes, the miraculous escape of others involved in the smashup remained a subject of general discussion here today.

Not a single person aboard the Bend-bound 40-car freight train into which the runaway train crashed in the darkness was injured.

Five persons aboard the runaway train escaped with comparatively slight injuries. Two of these rode the uncontrolled cars until the terrific crash occurred.

Probably the most miraculous escape of all was that of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S. McGee, who were asleep on one of the two outfit cars when the five-car string, with a caboose ahead and a steam shovel car and “idler” behind, started on the death ride down into rugged, rock-walled Trout Creek gorge from Gateway at about 5 o’clock yesterday morning. McGee, who assisted in the attempt to get the hand brakes, and Mrs. McGee remained in their moveable “home,” an old passenger coach, until the crash occurred on the steep eastern slope of Trout Creek.

The McGee car partly collapsed and shattered when the crash occurred, but the pair, wearing their bathrobes and slippers, stepped out of the wreckage practically unharmed. Just ahead, under a splintered, blazing mass of wreckage, were the bodies of Conductor Gallagher and helper Hewes. The shattered heap that was the McGee quarters caught fire after the smashup. Mr. and Mrs. McGee were taken to Madras, to the home of

Y E S T E R D AY Mr. and Mrs. Howard Turner.

Others aboard the runaway train were A.B. Corey, N.H. Westergard, and Earl Lee, riding in the caboose. They averted instant death by leaping just before the work unit crashed into the oncoming freight train, after they had attempted to set the brakes.

One of the trainmen on the “wild” train frantically waved a flashlight as the otherwise lightless unit hurtled down the grade in the dark. The light was seen

by Engineer Reuben B. Brown on the Bend-bound freight train just before the crash occurred.

Had the crash occurred 300 yards upstream, the runaway work train unit and the freight train would have met on the high steel trestle over Trout Creek.

This trestle is approximately 100 feet high.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 4, 1960 DESCHUTES RIVER STILL REMAINS UNIQUE AMONG ALL STREAMS IN THE UNITED STATES The Deschutes is a river unique in the entire United States, we are told. It is a stream that never floods.

But in the weather records reaching back to the beginning of the century and in old files of The Bend Bulletin there is some information that casts doubt of that belief.

The oldest of the old-timers living here will recall an occasion when the Deschutes did reach flood stage here. That flood occurred in November 1909, when a heavy storm, similar to the one of the past week, struck the Deschutes country.

Torrential rains fell around November 20 that year, and a few days later word was received from Laidlaw (now Tumalo) that the Deschutes was flooding in that area, with a heavy flow pouring in from Tumello (now Tumalo) Creek.

The Bulletin’s editor scoffed at the suggestion that the Deschutes could flood and hinted Laidlaw residents were in error in reporting high water there.

Then on November 25, 1909, the Deschutes flood hit Bend.

First damage was to the old Bend Company Mill’s log pond, in the upper reaches of the Mirror Pond of the present. The high water broke the pond barrier and sent afloat, in a rushing stream, 250 logs.

Downstream a short distance, the Bend Water Light & Power Co. dam was well under construction. The wild logs bumped into coffer dam and pillars at the site of the new dam, causing much damage.

The flood of 1909 occurred just prior to the creation of the Mirror Pond, which formed behind the power company dam in later months. Through the pond area of the present, the Deschutes water, log laden, churned in a muddy flow.

Just upstream from the village of Bend of that day, the ferry operated by John Peters went out. Also destroyed was the footbridge that crossed the Deschutes from the east side to the Bend Company mill.

That was the flood of 1909, which was forgotten in later years as federal hydrologists in various publications said the Deschutes River of Oregon was the only river in the entire United States that never reached a flood stage.

Could a flood similar to that of 1909 occur again? Hardly.

It does not appear probable that the Deschutes ever again will witness a flood such as occurred in late November 1909.

The recent storm, even heavier than that of 51 years ago, provided adequate proof of the even flow of the Deschutes. It is a river, which it can safely be said, never floods.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 4, 1985 COOL FELINE BRAVES COLD SNAP AND RETURNS HOME Feeling a little put out by the cold weather?

Maybe you had to put on a sweater before heading out the door to work this morning. You may have even had to take a few minutes to shovel snow off the front walk.

But things could be worse: Consider the tale of Mary Forkes and her 15-year-old cat, Fluffy.

Put simply, Fluffy is a homebody and very spoiled. Fluffy isn’t very rugged. He has no claws on his front paws and until recently had never spent a night out of the house.

But on Nov. 6, Fluffy took the high road to adventure. Following an afternoon stretch outside, he disappeared from the home of Mary and her husband, Donald, in Boones Borough.

“That night, it was 40 degrees and I figured, well, he might be able to stand that night out,” said Mary. “But then it started going

into subzero temperatures … and I didn’t know how the cat could ever survive that kind of weather.”

Mary told the neighbors to be on the lookout for her truant feline but after a few weeks, Mary had little hope left that the cat was still alive.

“I finally had consoled myself that I never would see the cat again,” she said.

But on the chilly afternoon of Nov. 29, Fluffy showed up, meowing, at the front doorstep of Tony and Pat Willford, who live about a half-mile north of the Forkeses.

Fluffy was no longer fluffy, and he “just looked terrible,” said Mary.

“His little body was just skin and bones underneath the hair,” she added.

On returning home, Fluffy drank lots of water, and he now has started eating and putting on weight.

Mary says she doesn’t know why Fluffy left or if he’ll leave again, but she speculates that a roaming dog may have chased the cat away from home.

Fluffy’s return was a “miracle,” and the cat’s return has taught her to “put my trust in the Lord,” Mary said.

Cattle Continued from B1 Contrary to some claims by animal rights groups contending wolves prefer a diet of rodents, Grandin said photos taken with motion-sensing cameras by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife during wolf attacks in northeastern Oregon, bite patterns on carcasses of dead calves and sheep, and other evidence from confirmed wolf attacks in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington show wolves sometimes chase and kill livestock for the fun of it.

“They’re predators. For them, killing is fun. That’s what predators do,” Grandin said.

Grandin, author of the books “Animals in Translation” and “Animals Make Us Human,” said she is autistic, and that her autism has given her insights into animal behavior.

When it comes to reducing animal stress on ranches, Grandin recommended ranchers get down on the ground and look at their corrals, pens, chutes, chains hanging on fences, dogs, the patterns made by bright sunlight or shadows and other elements with an eye for changing things to make life less stressful for their cattle.

By paying attention to things and situations that cause cattle to shy away, run into walls, fall down, moo or show fear in their eyes or with the way their ears are pointing, ranchers can create a less stressful environment for their cattle, Grandin said.

In other presentations about wolf issues, wolf researcher Casey Anderson of Idaho and Rod Childers, a Union County cattleman who chairs the OCA wolf committee, put some numbers to

Donations Continued from B1 United Way is hoping to close the gap in donations by appealing to donors who have given money to the organization in the past. Wilhelm also said the nonprofit has already made up for some of the loss in donations through its Mount Bachelor Ski Program, where twice as many tickets have been sold compared to last year.

“We call it ‘the churn’ — we lose some donors, while we gain some donors,” said Wilhelm.

“It tends to average out to about normal compared to the last few years.”

At NeighborImpact, a Redmond nonprofit that helps families meet their needs for food and shelter, there hasn’t been a significant difference in giving compared with last year. However, there has been a shift in how the money is given.

“We’ve noticed that there’s been a lot of new donors,” said Sharon Miller, executive director of NeighborImpact. “And the loyal donors have been giving a little bit less with notes attached explaining that it was because of the economy.”

According to Miller, the prime time for donations is from the beginning of November to the beginning of January, with people more likely to donate during the holiday season. Because the organization’s fiscal year doesn’t end until June, official donation numbers are not available yet.

Miller believes that the organization is still on track, though she says she has worries for 2011.

“A lot of people are feeling a level of pain because of the recession. We’re concerned that things will only get tougher,” said Miller. “But we’re always grateful and in awe of the generosity of the community and their willingness to give what they can during these times.”

At the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, the amount of individual donations has also been about the same as in the past, though the organization is still tallying donated money for this year. Chuck Kenlan, MBSEF executive director, says this seems to be because people have gotten used to the economic climate and are working to move past it.

“To me, the feeling is that we may have turned a corner,” said Kenlan of the giving climate in the community. “People seem to be more comfortable with the reality of where we are.”

The organization’s annual Snowball gala event, which featured an evening of dinner, dancing and auctions to benefit

Crash Continued from B1 Keller and Barclay both had to be extricated from their vehicles, and the crash shut down

the wolf population growth and costs to ranches from livestock losses.

While some groups compensate ranchers for cattle and sheep killed by wolves when the killing is confirmed by government wildlife officials, Anderson said studies done in Idaho and Montana, where Canadian wolves were reintroduced in 1995 and 1996, show that ranchers have actually received compensation for one in eight animals they believe were killed by wolves.

“You might get paid $700 for that one animal, but there’s seven more you don’t get paid for, so you lose $4,200 on them,” Anderson said.

Studies by the University of Idaho estimate the wolf population in Idaho has grown from 20 reintroduced in 1995-96 to more than 900, with another 800 spread out across Montana, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington, Anderson said.

Childers said the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Federal Wildlife Services have confirmed at least 21 wolves descended from the reintroduced wolves have migrated to northeastern Oregon, in Baker, Wallowa and Union counties, where he said those agencies have confirmed 12 calf kills and more than 25 sheep kills were committed by wolves.

One of the wolves was killed by wildlife officials after it repeatedly attacked livestock despite hazing and other efforts to detour the attacks, Childers said. That brought the official wolf population down to 20, but he said that based on unconfirmed sightings, he believes the number may be much higher.

Grandin said she’s seen and heard evidence that the presence of wolves is stressing out cattle in

United Way donations United Way, one of the largest local nonprofits, has seen a slight decline in donations over the last five years. United Way’s fiscal year ends June 30, and with $717,707 collected so far for the 2010-11 campaign, it is nearly on track to meet its goal of $1.3 million.

the organization, had a record number of people registered to attend, with twice as many attending the $100 dinner event as last year, according to Kenlan.

“The people who still feel passionately about giving are still giving,” said Kenlan. “I don’t think the economy has had much of an impact on our fundraising efforts. We’re still managing to keep our heads above water.”

Bethlehem Inn, the local emergency shelter that feeds and shelters the homeless in Central Oregon, also says it is about on par with donation amounts compared with last year.

“We’re somewhat in line with where we were last year,” said Gwenn Wysling, executive director of the inn. “But our costs have gone up because of the amount of need in the community.”

Wysling added that the organization has seen a lot of the same trends in the last few years as other nonprofits, with the economy being the main culprit behind a decline in overall donations. However, Wysling says the organization is optimistic for this year’s giving season, and for the year ahead.

“We’re so appreciative of people giving, and we’re really in need of their financial support,” said Wysling. “We really count on folks stepping up this time of year because it’s the time when we really need it.”

their vicinity.

She said cattle that have been chased or harassed by wolves, or that witness other cattle being chased or killed by wolves, develop a fear of wolves and anything that looks and acts like a wolf, including border collies trained by ranchers to help herd cattle.

It’s ironic, she said, that some of the same groups that have been calling for less stressful livestock management and slaughtering practices, have been slow to acknowledge the brutality of wolf attacks and the stress such attacks place on other animals in cattle herds.

For ranchers in areas where wolf encounters occur, Grandin said they may have to give up using border collies and other dogs that nip at the cattle and exhibit other behavior similar to wolf behavior, to reduce stress on their cattle.

However, Childers said in the mountainous country in northeastern Oregon, he’d have to hire three cowboys, at a cost $2,000 to $3,000 a month with benefits,

to replace three cattle dogs, and that’s not financially feasible for a 400-head ranching operation like his.

“There just isn’t enough income in a small ranch to support three or four families,” Childers said.

“The question is, what to do with this mess,” Grandin said.

“We can probably still have wolves, just fewer of them.”

Grandin said it’s important to continue to study wolf issues and come up with science-based solutions that minimize wolf/cattle conflicts, while sustaining ranching and viable populations of wolves, elk and other wildlife.

To accomplish that, she said, ranchers will need public support, and the best way to get that is to tell their stories and post videos on the Internet about how they raise livestock, about their sustainable, low-stress cattle handing practices.

Sheriff still expects to resolve Kyron case The Associated Press PORTLAND — Investigators believe that more than one person was involved in the disappearance of Kyron Horman, The Oregonian newspaper reported Saturday.

Sheriff Dan Staton was worried about the progress and cost of the investigation this fall, and he feared the biggest criminal investigation in Multnomah County’s history was destined for the cold case files, according to a story on The Oregonian’s website.

Six months have passed since the boy disappeared, but Staton told the newspaper that he’s now convinced the Kyron Horman Task Force is making progress sorting through “a ton

of information.”

The sheriff is pushing for something to shake loose by Feb. 1, the end of a 120-day deadline he set for the task force.

“The scope is narrowing. My belief is we should be relatively close to something by then.

That’s why I set the time frame I did,” Staton said. “While we may not be at an arrest or an indictment phase, we’re going to have it narrowed down to a point where we may be calling out a suspect, identifying certain people or things.”

Kyron disappeared June 4 from his school in northwest Portland. Investigators have focused on his stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, but haven’t called her a suspect.

Former Bend resident, Brent Gaylen Laws, 59, died Thursday, November 4, at his home in Huntsville, UT. He was born and raised in Ogden. He left home directly after graduating from high school moving to Sun Valley, ID where he wrangled horses and learned the construction Brent Gaylen skills he used Laws throughout the rest of his life.

Brent's love of the outdoors led him to pursue a degree in forestry, graduating with his B. S. from Utah State University in 1978. He worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Wyoming, California and Idaho and received his advanced certification in Silviculture. Brent then went on to a 20-year career in conservation with Ducks Unlimited as Sr. Regional Director for Oregon.

In 1974, Brent married Linda Boam (also of Ogden) and their love affair continues to this day.

They have two wonderful children, Carly Cascade and Cody Jess.

A skier, Brent loved nothing more than a good powder day. He also could be found casting a fly or hunting pheasants when he wasn't pursuing his other interest, renovating old houses.

Brent was preceded in death by his parents, Ken and Melba Laws.

He is survived by his wife, Linda (Boam); daughter, Carly Laws and husband, Jason Barwikowski; son, Cody Laws and wife, Alicia (Chiodo); and new grandson, Bridger Laws. He is also survived by his brother, Lloyd Laws and wife, Connie. Brent also has two sisters, Diana Jones and Cheryl Archibald.

Helen Boatwright, celebrated soprano, dies at 94

Oct. 9, 1951 - Nov. 4, 2010

Richard Goldman, a San Francisco philanthropist and civic leader who co-founded the Goldman Environmental Prize to recognize grass-roots environmental activism around the world, has died. He was 90.

Goldman, a passionate supporter of environmental causes, the Jewish community and Israel, died Monday at his San Francisco home, according to his family.

The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, created in 1951 by Goldman and his wife, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, has given away more than $680 million since its inception. But it is the environmental prize, which annually awards $150,000 each to six activists around the globe, for which the Goldmans are perhaps best known.

Established in 1989 in the wake of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and the murder of Brazilian rubber tapper and environmental activist Chico Mendes, the prize has been described as a green Nobel Prize.

But rather than honoring heads of state and renowned scientists, it recognizes grass-roots activists and organizers who challenge the powers that be, sometimes at great personal risk.

Recent winners include a Costa Rican conservationist who crusaded against the practice of shark finning and an environmental attorney in Bangladesh who fought for more regulation of her country’s ship-dismantling industry.

Stephen Solarz testifies in 2009 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Solarz, a former New York congressman, died Monday. He was 70.

U.S. Rep. Stephen Solarz a force in foreign affairs

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

Stephen Solarz, a nine-term Democratic congressman whose concerns went beyond traffic lights and beach erosion in his Brooklyn district to nuclear weapons, the Middle East and his revelation that Imelda Marcos owned 3,000 pairs of shoes, died Monday in Washington. He was 70 and lived in McLean, Va. His death, at a Washington hospital, was caused by esophageal cancer, his wife, Nina, said.

When he was elected to the House in 1974, Solarz finagled a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee with the idea that he could appeal to his largely Jewish district by attending to the needs of Israel. He immediately threw himself into foreign policy issues, visiting leaders of Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Syria in his first month on the job. He soon became a leading voice in the House on foreign affairs.

Solarz was defeated in a Democratic primary in 1992 after being caught up in a scandal involving the bank operated for House members and after his district had been redrawn to facilitate the election of a Hispanic candidate. (A Hispanic candidate, Nydia Velazquez, went on to win the primary and the general election.)

Global interests But his arrival in 1975 was a moment of triumph, both for himself and for his party. A huge class of 75 freshman Democrats forced changes in the seniority system, making newer representatives much more influential.

The public’s interest in global affairs had been heightened by the Vietnam War, and the abuses of presidential power in the Watergate affair had given new steam to Congress.

“I was elected to Congress at precisely the moment in American history when Congress decided it would no longer abdicate its constitutional authority for foreign policy to an executive branch that had lost its claim to presidential infallibility,” Solarz wrote in his preface to “Journeys to War and Peace: A Congressional Memoir,” to be published in 2011.

Helen Boatwright, an American soprano renowned for her interpretations of Charles Ives, died Wednesday in Jamesville, N.Y., outside Syracuse. She was 94 and had lived nearby in Fayetteville, N.Y. Her son Howard confirmed the death.

A concert and oratorio singer who performed in public until she was in her 90s, Boatwright was known for her pure, unfussy sound; impeccable diction; and thoughtful, sensitive interpretations. These attributes made her well suited for early music and contemporary works, and throughout her career she sang both, to favorable notices.

Boatwright gave the world premiere performances of some of Ives’ songs and, with the pianist John Kirkpatrick, made the first extensive recording of his songs. The album, originally titled “TwentyFour Songs,” was first released in 1954 on the Overtone label.

At the other end of the historical continuum, Boatwright appeared as a soloist with many of the country’s bestknown early-music groups, including the Yale Collegium Musicum, founded by the eminent composer Paul Hindemith, and the Cantata Singers in New York.

Among the conductors with whom she performed are Leopold Stokowski, Erich Leinsdorf, Seiji Ozawa and Zubin Mehta.

Boatwright’s work took her to many of the country’s bestknown concert halls as well as to the White House, where she sang for President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

She also taught at Syracuse University, the Eastman School of Music, the Peabody Conservatory of Music and elsewhere.

Helena Johanna Strassburger, known as Helen, was born on Nov. 17, 1916, in Sheboygan, Wis. She was the youngest of six children in a family of gifted amateur singers; Bach chorales in four-part harmony were sung nightly around the dinner table.

She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the Oberlin College Conservatory. In 1942, while she was a graduate student, she sang at Tanglewood in a production of Otto Nicolai’s opera “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” opposite a young tenor named Mario Lanza in his operatic debut.

In 1943, she married Howard Leake Boatwright Jr., a violinist and composer. In the decades that followed, the couple performed together in many recitals, and Boatwright often sang songs by her husband, written for her.

Boatwright, who also appeared frequently in joint recitals with other singers, did not make her New York solo recital debut until 1967, when she performed Hindemith’s song cycle “Das Marienleben” at Town Hall.

Reviewing the concert in The New York Times, Raymond Ericson wrote that Boatwright “sang the cycle as she has other music, with a total submersion of her own personality in the work.”

A life at the edge of the Hollywood limelight Ronni Chasen’s unsolved killing lifts veil from well-known publicist

By Michael Cieply and Brooks Barnes New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — Ronni Chasen could be loud. And she pushed.

At an event like the Governors Awards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, one of the last show business soirees she attended before her murder on Nov. 16, Chasen sent reporters skittering for shelter as she scanned the room for targets of opportunity — people to introduce to clients like the film composer Hans Zimmer and the soundtrack expert Diane Warren.

At 64, Chasen was fighting to keep her place in a Hollywood public relations game that had mostly gone to firms bigger than her boutique Chasen and Company, or to players who were younger.

Assumptions of a pampered Hollywood life have shifted since she was killed last month, shot repeatedly while driving home from a movie premiere. The unsolved killing is pulling back the veil on a person who, like many in the show business capital, focused on holding on to a steadily eroding modicum of glamour.

‘Businesswoman’ Dismissing impressions of privilege, her longtime friend Martha Smilgis said: “Ronni was not a Jewish princess. She was a Jewish businesswoman.”

The distinction was Smilgis’ way of sorting through a bewildering thicket of facts that have begun to surface as both friends and investigators come to terms with the shooting of a woman who was hardly the most important in Hollywood but had become one of its best-known stock characters.

Chasen operated a modest public relations firm with the sorts of clients who might be expected to pay fees of only a few thousand dollars a month — not much when measured against

the need to pay salaries for her staff of four and the demands of a Hollywood life.

Yet she had become surprisingly wealthy. Documents posted Thursday on the celebrity news service TMZ.com show her to have been worth about $6 million when she wrote a will in 1994.

Chasen had become even richer since then, said Smilgis, an executor in her 2006 will.

She inherited money from her mother, who for years had invested in high-dividend stocks, and increased its value through her own astute investments. As recently as September, according to Smilgis, Chasen said she was writing yet another will, but whether she did so remains unclear.

Chasen collected art. In the 1994 version of her will, she invited a few close friends — including the publicity baron Warren Cowan and the publisher Michael Vine, both now dead — to choose a painting from her collection.

Still, the art on the walls of her Westwood condominium was often on loan from one or another of her friends who owned galleries, including Jonathan Novak.

Novak, a pallbearer at Chasen’s funeral last month, owns Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art, a well-regarded gallery in Century City, not far from Chasen’s home in a “condo canyon” that lines Wilshire Boulevard.

If not exactly in a fashionable neighborhood, her condominium had one perk that Chasen said was a must: a doorman. It made her feel safer as a single woman, she once told a reporter, but a doorman was a symbol of a certain social class — a belief that was a holdover from her childhood in the Washington Heights and Riverdale sections of New York.

Puzzling suicide On Wednesday evening, the puzzlement around Chasen’s

soap opera role in New York in the 1970s, her brother said.

“Ronni Sue Cohen isn’t exactly a stage name,” he said, adding that he did not know whether her adopted last name came from Chasen’s, an entertainment industry hot spot in the early days of Hollywood.

In a publicity career that flourished during a stint at the agency Rogers & Cowan in the 1980s, Chasen became deeply embedded in the film industry.

But she was never quite at the center of it. A member of the film academy, she did not join its inner councils.

Guests leave movie publicist Ronni Chasen’s funeral last month at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles. Chasen was shot to death in Beverly Hills, Calif., as she drove home on Nov. 16. death deepened. Police officers investigating her murder tried to speak with a man in a Hollywood transient hotel who had told acquaintances he had shot Chasen for pay, but he committed suicide first.

The dead man, who is reported to have spent time in prison, has been identified as Harold Martin Smith. The episode instantly fueled a new round of speculation that Chasen had been killed in connection with a business deal gone bad, or perhaps for refusing to pay a debt for a friend or family member.

Smilgis, who spoke Thursday from her home in Santa Barbara, said Chasen had mentioned no such deal or debt. If pressed, “I could see her being tough about the money,” Smilgis said.

Chasen’s brother, Larry Cohen, a well-known director and writer of B movies like “Captivity” and “Maniac Cop,” said he did not believe that the dead man had anything to do with his sister’s murder.

“This guy was a deranged person who just made that up; no way he was involved,” Cohen said. “I still think this was most likely a case of road rage.”

Toughness had long been one of Chasen’s trademarks. She was not married, had no children and lived almost wholly within the confines of a Holly-

wood circle that included other publicists of her era and old-line producers like Richard Zanuck, who won an Oscar for “Driving Miss Daisy.”

In March 1982, the real Ronni Chasen was hidden, just barely, behind a publicist called Trixi in an account by P.J. Corkery for Harper’s Magazine of his stint at an unnamed publicity firm.

“Trixi’s life is her job,” Corkery wrote. “She is about 35 and has wrapped her entire existence in her work.”

He went on to describe Trixi’s ferocity in pressing the phone company to give her a number she could “love” — it had to begin with the “27” that indicated a Beverly Hills number then, and be unlisted. At some length, he went on to describe how Trixi set herself up for a day around the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel by persuading a client that a press interview could be done only in a client-paid bungalow there.

Smilgis said, “She loved the portrait of herself,” noting that Chasen — a model and a soap opera actress when she was young — had been romantically involved with a number of wellheeled Hollywood men through the years.

Chasen was married briefly in her 20s, but she changed her last name while trying to land a

Time passing While she worked her way through each awards season with undiminished grit, the real star power clustered around rising firms like 42 West and Slate.

The march of time bothered Chasen, who favored cream-colored Armani suits and drove a black Mercedes sedan. Sixteen years ago, she asked in her will that, in announcing her death, “Warren Cowan write the release to the trades, and that no mention be made of my age.”

She also asked that John

Williams, famous for his “Star Wars” music and other movie themes, “write a piece of music” for her funeral service, if possible. The request was not honored, although it is unknown whether Williams was aware of it.

At the same time, Chasen could be remarkably old-fashioned. While pushing to get a reporter interested in a story pitch, she would often mail stacks of research instead of relying on e-mail attachments.

She was perhaps the last person in Hollywood to send e-mails via an assistant, with “dbnr” — dictated but not read — appearing at the bottom of missives.

Chasen’s 1994 will gave much of her estate to one niece while specifically shorting another.

“I have intentionally and with full knowledge of the consequences omitted to provide for my niece,” the will reads, “except for the gift of 10 dollars.”

Smilgis offered no theory for her friend’s killing. But she talked freely about someone who had figured out how to live well, without really spending.

“If you looked at her, you’d say, ‘Wow, this is a tony babe,’” Smilgis said. “But I’m sure she cut a deal with her hairdresser.”

toration of the fronton, formally reopened with a Basque festival in September 1997.

For the first time in six decades, young men again competed in pelota, pala (paddleball) and weightlifting. Basque musicians and dancers came from Boise to perform.

Jordan Valley sits at the foot of Pharmacy Hill on the north side of Jordan Creek, a tributary of the Owyhee River. The name of the quiet stream comes not from the Bible, but from 19th century prospector Michael Jordan, no relation to the famous basketball player. Though rarely more than 10 feet wide, the creek irrigates a wide, lush valley, dotted with cattle ranches and forage farms, surrounded by volcanic badlands and snowcapped mountains.

Share tales from your family tree at Bend Genealogical Society event

By David Jasper The Bulletin

When the Bend Genealogical Society convenes Dec. 21 at Rock Arbor Villa in Bend, many of its 100 members will share tales of family lore, sleuthing adventures and much more.

The meeting is a good starting point for those becoming interested in genealogy, or the exploration of one’s ancestry, says president Teddie Allison.

Nancy Noble, program chair for the society, agrees, adding that many people start becoming more curious about their roots in their 40s and 50s. She moved to Central Oregon from the Salem area, where she participated in the Willamette Genealogical Society.

“People just had surprising things that they had

found, or sometimes it was even surprising methods that they used in order to find what they were looking for,” Noble says. “You never know what tiny little clue is going to lead you to the next step and answer your questions.”

Rooting out a family’s past can turn up unexpected results, says Noble, who once ventured to Yorkshire, England, to see the town where her husband’s great-great grandmother was born.

The Bend Genealogical Society’s library, located at Rock Arbor Villa Mobile Home Park’s recreation hall, boasts more than 2,100 books. Membership in the society costs $20 annually for individuals, $25 for a household.

C2 Sunday, December 5, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Friends want to get woman off the stage Dear Abby: We are a group of ladies in retirement in a smallish town. One member of our group has, over the last few years, started to “put on a show” — and I mean that literally.

“Dottie” writes revues and, of course, stars in them herself.

While there’s nothing wrong with a vanity production, this woman is making herself look foolish.

She is not slender (no sin), but she is also not talented.

Dottie’s friends feel she looks ridiculous singing and dancing, but no one has the nerve to tell her because she is vain and has a short temper. We can’t tell our pudgy, gray-haired friend to get off the stage, so we thought you might be just the person to save our friend’s dignity. Can you help?

— In the Wings in Northern California Dear in the Wings: Your friend is living her dream of being in the footlights. It is not up to you or me to “save her dignity” by bursting her bubble. If you don’t like her performance, no law says you — or anyone else — must attend her revues. And feeling as you ladies do, it might be kinder if you stayed away.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend, “Kim,” believes that saying “Bless you” after someone sneezes is a universal requirement. I think this is something out of the 15th century so I never say anything.

Kim thinks I’m rude. What say you, Abby?

— Already Blessed in Lake Forest, Calif.

Dear Already Blessed: I say you and Kim are both right. The custom of saying “Bless you” or “God bless you” after someone sneezes did originate in the Middle Ages, when it was believed that when

DEAR ABBY people sneezed, their souls left their bodies for an instant — and saying “God bless you” would prevent the devil from snatching it.

And Kim is correct that the polite thing to do is to say it. If you care about her feelings you will accommodate her — not just because it’s good manners, but because you know it’ll make her happy.

Dear Abby: I have a 3-year-old, muscular male American pit bull terrier. When I walk “Petey,” I am often asked by young and old alike if they can pet my dog because of his good looks. While Petey has never bitten anyone, I am not comfortable letting strangers pet him.

The breed can be aggressive.

I always reply to these requests with a “no” and a “thank you,” after which I am invariably asked if my dog is mean. Now, if there is a possibility that a dog is mean, why would someone ask to pet him in the first place? Perhaps I’m overly sensitive, but it’s an annoying rhetorical question. Is there a nicer way to answer?

— A Dutiful Pet Owner, Glens Falls, N.Y. Dear Dutiful Pet Owner: An honest response would be that your dog isn’t mean, but you can’t guarantee that he won’t snap if someone he doesn’t know touches him. Another way to say it would be, “My dog hasn’t bitten anyone ... yet.”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

With a little age, ‘Men’ looks even better

By Chuck Barney “The Simpsons” 8 tonight, Fox “The Simpsons” takes a cue from its annual “Treehouse of Horror” special to air its first multistory Christmas episode. One of the tales finds the Springfield clan in Scrooge mode, prompting Marge to solicit holiday tips from Martha Clause (guest voice Martha Stewart).

“VH1 Divas Salute the Troops” 9 tonight, VH1 In “VH1 Divas Salute the Troops,” the annual salute to women who rock turns the spotlight on its audience: Servicemen and women at various military bases. Kathy Griffin is our host for a night featuring performances by Katy Perry, Sugarland, Nicki Minaj and others.

“The Hasselhoffs” 10 tonight, A&E Just when you thought reality TV had exhausted all its vanity projects, here comes “The Hasselhoffs,” a navelgazing series about singledad, David, and his two daughters. Yes, we’re rolling our eyes, too.

“Men of a Certain Age” 10 p.m. Monday, TNT Some things really do get better with age — like this humorous slice-of-life drama about three guys tiptoeing their way through the minefield of midlife. In Season 1, the show became more enjoyable as the characters deepened and the angst lessened. Now “Men”

TNT via The Associated Press

Scott Bakula, along with Ray Romano and Andre Braugher, stars in TNT’s humorous drama “Men of a Certain Age.” appears poised to become one of TV’s true gems. As Season 2 opens, we find Joe (Ray Romano) wading back into the dating pool and trying to rekindle his dream of becoming a professional golfer. Meanwhile, Owen (Andre Braugher) is starting to regret his decision to hire Terry (Scott Bakula) at his father’s car dealership.

“American Country Awards” 8 p.m. Monday, Fox

“The Closer” 9 p.m. Monday, TNT One of cable TV’s most popular shows, “The Closer,” returns for a five-episode holiday run.

As usual, Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) has her hands full as she tries to figure out why one of her colleagues was ambushed in the streets.

“Glee” 8 p.m. Tuesday, Fox This should come as no surprise to fans of “Glee”: Clueless Brittany (Heather Morris) still believes in Santa Claus. Meanwhile, a certain devious faculty member becomes a gift-hording Grinch.

“MythBusters” 9 p.m. Wednesday, Discovery On “MythBusters,” Adam and Jamie take on a request from a fan with some big-time clout: Barack Obama. The president

challenges them to retest the myth in which Greek scientist Archimedes set a Roman fleet ablaze using only mirrors and sunlight.

“A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, the Next Chapter” 9 and 10 p.m. Thursday, ABC “A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, the Next Chapter” is one of two specials tonight featuring Babs. It has the journalist sitting down with the daytime TV titan to discuss her upcoming cable venture. Immediately following is “Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2010.”

“Supernatural” 9 p.m. Friday, The CW Yikes, this has trouble written all over it: On “Supernatural,” Dean (Jensen Ackles) considers a deal in which he would act as the Grim Reaper for 24 hours in exchange for Sam’s (Jared Padelecki) soul.

“Frosty the Snowman” 8 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, CBS After all these years, “Frosty the Snowman” remains oh so cool. Why? Because he really knows how to rock a corncob pipe and button nose. “Frosty Returns” immediately follows.

CARLO

Carlo is a wonderfully awesome Pit Bull mix puppy in search of a loving home. This little guy was brought to the shelter because his owner was unable to continue to care for him. Carlo is at just the right age, 5 months, to begin some basic obedience classes. Carlo has had very little training and is looking for a home that has plenty of time to devote to training this happy little guy.

The early-20th-century Elorriaga House, dedicated two years ago, is the home of Jordan Valley’s seasonal I.O.N. Heritage Museum.

Exhibits feature Basque immigrant furnishings and artifacts from the community’s ranching and mining history.

Photos by John Gottberg Anderson / For The Bulletin

Pharmacy Hill rises above the village of Jordan Valley, a community of about 250 people in Oregon’s southeastern corner. Cattle ranching supports the economy, along with forage crops and a small amount of tourism.

The gravesite of Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, son of legendary Indian guide Sacajawea, stands outside the hamlet of Danner. An infant when he rode on his mother’s back through the Lewis and Clark expedition, he died near here in 1866.

Jordan Valley Continued from C1 Other than the fronton and museum, there’s not a lot to see and do in Jordan Valley. It’s only during May’s annual Big Loop Rodeo, a tradition since 1962, that the town truly bustles. Besides the usual calf-roping and bronco-riding events, this roundup features cattle-dog trials and mule roping. But lodging and dining options are few and far between.

Luckily, there is a great deal to see within easy day-trip reach.

The Owyhee River The defining geographical feature of this corner of Oregon

is the Owyhee River. Rising in Nevada, the 280-mile-long river flows northwesterly through a corner of Idaho, then weaves through Oregon’s arid Great Basin country before joining the Snake River south of Nyssa. Its name was a mispronunciation of “Hawaii”; in 1819, three fur trappers from those Pacific islands disappeared on a scouting trip up the uncharted river, perhaps slain by native Bannock Indians.

Along much of its course south and west of Jordan Valley, the Owyhee has scoured a deep vertical canyon that in places is more than 1,000 feet deep. The best place to view this wild-and-scenic river canyon is an overlook on gravel Three Creeks Road, 17 miles south of

U.S. Highway 95 from a turnoff 15 miles west of Jordan Valley.

Practically speaking, however, it is at the hamlet of Rome, 30 miles southwest of Jordan Valley, that most travelers glimpse the river. There is nothing grandiose about Rome itself; it is a tiny community that serves a few local ranches where U.S. Highway 95 crosses the Owyhee. A small cafe-store has RV parking and a couple of adjacent cabins; otherwise, the only point of interest is a launch site for whitewater rafting trips, maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.

Just downriver, opposite the point where Jordan Creek enters the Owyhee, is a wall of towering clay bluffs named the Pillars of Rome because of their resemblance to temple columns.

They are easily seen by following a gravel road for about two miles north from Rome.

The only way to truly see the Owyhee, however, is from a rubber raft. River access points between Rome and Owyhee Dam — 60 miles as the crow flies, much farther via precipitous dirt roads — are few and far between.

Numerous whitewater companies, including Bend-based Ouzel Outfitters, use Rome as a put-in for trips during spring melt (April, May and early June).

Most of the companies travel 63 miles in five days to a take-out at Leslie Gulch. Here, stark and colorful spires of ancient volcanic ash rise above a Bureau of Land Management campground near the upper reaches of Owyhee Reservoir, an important water source since 1932.

Also on the Owyhee, about 18 miles upriver of Leslie Gulch, is the Birch Creek Ranch. Its two dozen circa-1900 buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Neither Leslie Gulch nor Birch Creek Ranch is out of the question for a day trip from Jordan Valley, but it would be impractical to try to hit both on the same day. Although both sites are located about 25 to 30 miles off U.S. Highway 95, northwest of Jordan Valley, they lie on opposite sides of Mahogany Moun-

tain. When this ancient volcano erupted more than 15 million years ago, it created a landscape of rugged lava across the region.

The Birch Creek road — you’ll need a topographical map to navigate this region, or Benchmark Maps’ “Oregon Road & Recreation Atlas” — skirts the Jordan Craters lava fields, created “only” 30,000 years ago by a distinctive cinder cone known as Coffeepot Crater.

three miles north on a wellmaintained gravel road. Danner is of particular note as the burial site of the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Jean-Baptiste “Pomp” Charbonneau was the son of the famous Shoshone Indian guide, Sacajawea, and her FrenchCanadian husband, Toussaint Charbonneau. Born in February 1805 at Fort Mandan, N.D., and raised from the age of 6 by explorer William Clark at his home in St. Louis, Mo. According to a 2005 biography, the younger Charbonneau traveled extensively in Europe and North Africa in the 1820s.

Returning to the United States, he worked in the West as a guide and interpreter through the 1830s and 1840s. He did well

in the California gold rush and settled in the Sierra foothills for 16 years.

At the age of 61, Charbonneau left California and headed for mining strikes in Idaho and Montana.

Named for their resemblance to Latin temple columns, the Pillars of Rome rise as fossil-rich clay formations a short distance from the Owyhee River. The towering bluffs are easily seen off a gravel road two miles north of the community of Rome.

From previous page But he caught a chill after crossing the Owyhee and died at Inskip Station, now Danner, in May 1866. His body was laid in a wellmarked grave about a quartermile north, where it is surrounded by three historical markers.

Another unincorporated village, Arock, about 10 miles west and also three miles off the highway on Jordan Creek, was founded in the early 20th century by Basque immigrants. Like Danner, it is surrounded today by cattle ranches; unlike Danner, it has a school, a church and a post office.

Ruined homesteads stand side-byside with more modern dwellings in both hamlets.

Two points of interest are located just south of U.S. Highway 95, about 12 miles west of Jordan Valley. One is an interpretive site that celebrates success in range management beginning with the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, putting an end to rampant overgrazing.

An overlook offers a broad view of part of the 4½ million acres of rangeland regenerated, starting in 1962, by the decade-long Vale Project; the acreage is now home to 220 ranches with 82,000 cattle and 6,000 sheep.

Nearby is a short road to foursquare-mile Antelope Reservoir, built for irrigation in 1923 and now an oasis in a semi-desert landscape. It has become a popular trout-fishing venue, with boat launches and a small campground.

Abandoned structures of stone and wood are common sights in scattered communities throughout the region. This ruin is in Arock, which is large enough to have a school, a church and a post office.

At Antelope Reservoir and throughout the Jordan Valley, I was impressed by the great variety of wildlife. On my visit last month, I saw pronghorn antelope, mule deer, ring-neck pheasants, ducks, geese, and several species of hawks and other raptors. I was told that the region is also home to bighorn sheep, mountain lions and bobcats, and to such game birds as grouse, quail and chukars.

A living ghost town Although it’s 32 miles from Jordan Valley to the border of

Idaho on U.S. Highway 95 north, the state line is actually only two miles east of town. This is the route to Silver City, and although the maps I consulted didn’t name it, locals call it the Silver City road.

The first few miles of the 26mile road, leading past a handful of small ranches and homesteads, are paved. The second portion, which climbs into the hills to the Kinross corporation’s inactive Nerco DeLamar open-pit silver mine, is a well-maintained and oiled gravel road. But the final 10 miles, to the foot of War Eagle

Mountain, are narrow and rough, not recommended for travel between November and May. My knowledge of Silver City — the best-preserved ghost town in Idaho, possibly in the Pacific Northwest — stems from a previous visit, as snow prevented my travel to its 6,200-foot elevation last month.

When placer gold was discovered here in 1863, followed by silver a year later, this little town on the crest of the Owyhee Mountains experienced a classic mining boom. Silver City had the Idaho Territory’s first newspaper and its first telegraph service, and was among the first towns to have telephones and electricity. With a population of about 2,500 people, it was the Owyhee County seat for nearly seven decades.

Although Silver City’s mines produced more than $60 million in precious metals, World War II mining restrictions rang its death knell. Today the community’s residents live here only from late May to mid-October, when the Idaho Hotel closes for the season. The old-time hotel has been maintained in vintage condition, its 13 Spartan rooms served by shared bathrooms; it also has a small café and a licensed lounge.

Nearby are the Old Schoolhouse Museum and Our Lady of Tears Catholic Church, both built in the 19th century.

About 75 wood-frame structures still stand in Silver City.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Two years into a state program meant to offer a carrot-and-stick approach to strengthening marriages, most couples appear to be settling for the stick.

The Twogether in Texas program launched in September 2008 to encourage couples to take an eight-hour premarital course before saying “I do.” The state fee for licenses was doubled to $60, but it was waived for those who participated in such a course. Couples still have to pay a local license fee.

But few couples are using the program for the discount, likely accounting for less than 15 percent of all licenses in the past two years, according to information provided by state agencies.

The Star-Telegram contacted state agencies involved with collecting marriage license revenue, including the Department of State Health Services and the comptroller’s office. None were able to say exactly how many couples have received the discount statewide. The information they provided, as well as data from county officials, suggests the 15 percent figure.

“The teaching of the course is working fine, and I have no intention of modifying that,” said state Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, who championed the legislation that created the program. “We just have to figure out more ways to get more people to take the course (rather) than pay the double fee.”

Chisum’s proposal was vigorously debated in Austin during the 2007 legislative session. He originally wanted to raise the state fee from $30 to $100. Critics derided it as a “marriage tax.”

They also expressed concern that local governments might lose out on needed revenue if too many people took advantage of the discount.

Because most couples aren’t receiving the discount, the higher marriage license fee has increased government revenue.

The comptroller’s office collects $30 of every marriage license fee, up from $15.50 before the Twogether in Texas program was launched, spokesman R.J. DeSilva said. The agency puts $20 in a fund for programs combating child abuse and $10 in the Family Trust Fund, for programs aimed at strengthening families.

In the two years since the program launched, the two funds took in $4,031,830 more than in the two years prior, a 67 percent increase, according to the comptroller’s office.

The other $30 goes to county governments, according to state records. In Tarrant County, the money goes into the county’s general fund, said Debbie Schneider, county budget director.

In each of the two years since the program launched, that’s provided more than $300,000 in additional revenue to county coffers compared with the 12 months before the start of the program, according to the Tarrant County clerk’s office.

The growth in revenue doesn’t appear to be due to more marriages. The number of couples receiving Texas marriage licenses has hovered near 180,000 per year for the past several years, according to the Department of State Health Services. The number of marriage licenses for the most recent fiscal year, ending in September, was not available.

Chisum, a candidate for House speaker, said he isn’t happy to see increased revenue going to different levels of government because of the higher marriage license fee. He said he hopes that revenue stream declines as more engaged couples take the classes.

“It never was meant to be a revenue driver for the state,” Chisum said.

Finally, solo dwellers with few social contacts may face more serious health impacts. Numerous studies have linked loneliness and lack of social support to high blood pressure, increased mortality for people with heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease development, depression and other health problems.

Conversely, interaction with family and friends has been shown to reduce stress, improve blood pressure levels and even increase physical activity, Mosca said.

There are many simple ways to increase your social contacts, especially during the holiday season, Mills said.

“Have as many visitors as possible, set up phone trees and make reasons to get in touch with people through phone, Internet and Webcam,” she said.

Those who live alone, especially seniors, also should take precautions to prevent falls, said Lesley Mills, director and owner of five Connecticut offices of Griswold Special Care, a home health care agency.

One in three adults ages 65 and older falls annually, and of these, up to 30 percent suffer injuries serious enough to limit their mobility or ability to live independently and raise their odds of dying sooner, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But seniors aren’t the only ones at risk for home falls, especially in the holiday season, when nearly two-thirds of fall injuries are incurred by people ages 20 to 49.

Some simple preventive steps include removing tripping hazards such as electric cords and uneven rugs, replacing poor lighting, and installing non-slip mats and grab bars in showers and bathtubs, Mills said.

Holiday season tips for all ages from the CDC include employing safe ladder practices,

The number of Americans living alone has skyrocketed in recent decades: more than 31 million or 27 percent of all households in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, up from just 9 percent in 1950.

Not every solo dweller has unhealthy habits. Still, people living alone have increased cardiovascular risk not because they lack someone to watch over them per se, but because they have a greater propensity for smoking and unhealthy eating habits that lead to obesity and high cholesterol levels, the Danish researchers concluded.

These behaviors, as well as excessive alcohol consumption and reduced physical activity, are also key risk factors for cancer and stroke, which, along with heart disease, are the nation’s top three killers, said Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

If you live alone and recognize any of these habits as your own, or you have symptoms of heart disease or other health concerns, you should schedule a doctor’s appointment and have regular check-ups, she said. In the Danish study, single inhabitants with heart disease were more likely to be socially isolated and not see a doctor regularly.

Receiving effective CPR from another person immediately following sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple your chance of survival, according to the American Heart Association. But simply having another person around may not make a difference when it comes to surviving a serious heart attack, said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Health in San Diego.

“When people have cardiac arrest, it’s typically in the night during sleep, and the person’s spouse is also sleeping,” he said.

“By the time (he or she) wakes up, the patient may have been dead for a while, but if you have a warning sign and can alert another person in your house, that can be lifesaving.”

Anyone living alone with heart disease or another serious chronic disease such as diabetes should wear a medical alert pendant or bracelet to call emergency services if you cannot reach a telephone, Mosca said.

DECATUR, Ga. — Living alone can mean more freedom to do what you want, when you want, but solo dwellers also are more prone to unhealthy habits that increase their risk of serious illness or mortality compared to those who live with others.

Living alone doubled the chance of contracting or dying of severe heart disease for women older than 60 and men older than 50, according to a 2006 Danish study which analyzed population data on more than 138,000 adults.

Seniors living alone are more prone to falls, arthritis and rheumatism, and vision disorders such as glaucoma or cataracts, according to a 2007 study of patients at four group practices in suburban London.

However, single occupants can reduce many of their increased health risks if they are willing to take some simple preventive steps, experts said.

3-D spectacles get a fashion makeover

SUDOKU Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

By Richard Verrier Los Angeles Times

Yes, 3-D movies may be cool, but the glasses you get to watch them with are most certainly not.

The Buddy Holly-like spectacles are not only clunky, but some moviegoers complain that the reusable glasses cause eye strain and question just how thoroughly they have been sanitized.

Now high-end eyewear makers and fashion houses are offering relief — but it will cost you.

Since the release of “Avatar” a year ago, studios have been pushing to squeeze more movies into the three-dimension pipeline — more than 30 films are scheduled to be released in 3-D next year alone. Theater owners, who have profited handsomely from the higher ticket prices 3-D films command, have been scrambling to add enough 3-D screens to handle all the movies.

Eyewear manufacturers like Oakley and fashion houses such as Gucci are jumping onto the stereoscopic bandwagon. They are introducing lines of 3-D glasses starting at $95 and going up to $225 — or more than 100 times what most theater-handout models cost to make.

“The way we look at it, it’s going to be a lifestyle accessory,” said David Johnson, president of Marchon3D. “You’ve got your smart phone, you’ve got your iPad and now you have another piece of equipment. This is a specialty technology device.”

Marchon3D, a division of Marchon Eyewear based in Melville, N.Y., has licensed its technology to Calvin Klein and Nautica for 3-D eyewear between $95 and $150. But the high-tech glasses, with a patented curved-lens design, are useful not just in theaters: They can be worn outdoors as regular sunglasses.

Apart from being more stylish, these premium glasses vastly improve the 3-D viewing experience, manufacturers claim, because they’re lighter, more comfortable and employ advanced optics to filter out reflections and other distractions that can cause eye strain.

Beverly Hills, Calif.-based RealD, the leading supplier of 3-D equipment in U.S. theaters, has “certified” Marchon’s glasses and is working with Marchon’s parent company, the eyewear insurance giant VSP based in Ran-

Genealogy Continued from C1 Another good starting point for those new to genealogy is the monthly First Tuesday meeting. At 10 a.m. on the first Tuesday of each month, the society holds two-part programs.

The first part involves mentoring, in which people can learn basics or receive help if they’re stuck; the second is a topical discussion.

This month, that topic is preparing for research trips and looking at the www.family search.org website and catalog.

A group from the Bend Genealogical Society recently traveled to Salt Lake City. “That’s where the Family History Library is,” says Allison, explain-

Chris Petrillo, manager for the 3-D optics division of the Oakley eyeglass company, performs a scope test on a pair of 3-D glasses that retail for $120. The test stand projects a low-power laser through the lenses to determine that they are optically perfect. cho Cordova, Calif., to develop prescription 3-D glasses. By next year, consumers who are getting prescription lenses could opt for a 3-D version (at an extra cost, of course).

Marchon also plans to offer lower-cost 3-D glasses, in the $30 to $40 range, by spring. Australia-based Look3D next month will launch an online store where budget-minded consumers can buy designer 3-D glasses for as little as $30 ($15 for kids).

“With more than 30 movies coming out next year in 3-D, moviegoers will spend plenty of time wearing 3-D glasses, and we expect many will want them in a style, color and fit all their own,” said RealD Chief Executive Michael Lewis. “Like sunglasses, we’ll see a range of options at different price points,

from designer 3-D glasses from brands like Calvin Klein to more budget-friendly glasses you can pick up at a local store or the movie theater when you buy popcorn.”

Foothill Ranch, Calif.-based Oakley spent more than two years working with Glendale, Calif.-based DreamWorks Animation to develop the Oakley 3-D Gascan glasses, which went on sale for $120 this month at Sunglass Hut and Oakley stores. Oakley has also introduced a limited edition of 3-D glasses tied to the Disney film “Tron.”

“We began with a single goal: to set the standard for optical performance in 3-D,” said Oakley Chief Executive Colin Baden. “This is a technological breakthrough.”

ing that it’s a highly computerized repository of genealogical information. “It’s fabulous. They have over 200 million rolls of microfilm. It’s sort of the Cadillac, the Mercedes-Benz, of libraries. It’s five floors of genealogical material.”

Allison says her interest in genealogy stems from the family Bible. “We were the repository for family Bibles. I used to love to sit when I was a kid and look at the old family Bibles, and see the names inscribed and where they were born and when they died. That just sort of piqued my imagination.”

One story program chair Noble plans to share on Dec. 21 is that of an aunt who, she learned through genealogy, had made newspaper headlines, including the front page of The San

Francisco Call in 1910. The aunt was being blackmailed by a man who was later shot by her husband.

The aunt “was a sad person in all of her photographs,” says Noble, who used to correspond with the aunt but had no idea of the news-making events of her early life. “We do not know if any of the family up here in Oregon ever knew anything about it. It certainly was never talked about that we know of.”

Of course, there can be drawbacks to becoming absorbed in the past.

Says Allison, “Once you get involved in it, you can become consumed. Ask my husband.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 5, 2010: This year, possibilities continuously appear. You will find that many other dreams seem to self-realize. If a project or goal takes more than a lion’s share to make it a reality, ask yourself if this desire might no longer be in sync with the authentic you.

That easily could be the obstacle.

If you are single, amorous and flirtatious times seem to restore your mind and spirit. Someone very special could enter your life in 2011. If you are attached, don’t get too bogged down in the details of life. Make special time for you as a couple. CAPRICORN forces serious financial thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of the cost of an arrangement, whether you are up for it or not. Be clear about the financial obligations if you are planning a get-together or deciding to join in with others to buy a present. Leave nothing vague.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

This trait is such a salient characteristic that you tend to have a party wherever you go, whenever you can. Tonight: Live for the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You seem to take the first step to be a role model wherever you go. Knowing that you are “show and tell” could put a great deal of pressure on you. Tonight: Touch base with an older family member. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

WORLD CUP SKIING Riesch takes first in women’s downhill; Vonn finishes 2nd LAKE LOUISE, Alberta — Maria Riesch of Germany won her second World Cup downhill in as many days, edging Lindsey Vonn after a remarkable recovery by the American.

Riesch posted a winning time of 1 minute, 29.60 seconds Saturday, beating Vonn by a margin of 0.10. Dominique Gisin of Switzerland was third.

Riesch is the first German woman to win back-to-back downhills at Lake Louise since Katja Seizinger in 1997.

A year ago, it was Vonn winning back-to-back downhills.

Now Riesch is giving early notice that she will challenge her friend and American rival this season for the overall World Cup title.

“I hope so, of course, that’s a big aim for me,” Riesch said. “That last three years I had no chance because she was so dominating in downhill and super-G.” The Americans turned in a solid day at Lake Louise, with seven skiers finishing in the top 25. Julia Mancuso wound up sixth.

The Beavers have some bright spots during the Civil War, but their season ends when they can’t stop the Ducks

CORVALLIS — tanding on the Oregon sideline, Nike CEO and prominent University of Oregon donor Phil Knight flashed a millionwatt smile.

Then, chants of “B-C-S!” erupted from a green-and-yellow corner of Reser Stadium as the clock ticked down on the Ducks’ 37-20 Civil War football victory Saturday.

Oregon players sprinted over toward their fans, who spilled onto

CORVALLIS — regon nearly ran out of webbed toes to stub. But in the end, Oregon State could do little to take advantage.

Oregon lost two fumbles, racked up 10 penalties, missed a short field goal and had a blocked an extra point. But while the Beavers were game, they were ultimately undermanned in Saturday’s 37-20 Civil War football loss to the rival Ducks in front of a record 46,469 fans at Reser Stadium.

Austrian wins super-G; Miller DNF BEAVER CREEK, Colo.

— Georg Streitberger of Austria won a World Cup super-G race on a day when Bode Miller and three other top Americans skied off the course.

Streitberger finished the demanding Birds of Prey run in 1 minute, 17.18 seconds, edging Adrien Theaux of France by 0.11 seconds.

Didier Cuche of Switzerland was third.

Miller, who won silver in the super-G at the Vancouver Games, had trouble finding the line near a technical turn midway through the run and veered straight off the course.

Andrew Weibrecht took a similar path and skied out too, as did fellow Americans Marco Sullivan and Ted Ligety.

Steven Nyman was the top U.S. finisher in 25th place.

S B Baseball • Padres’ Gonzalez in Boston for physical: All-Star slugger Adrian Gonzalez was in Boston on Saturday to take a physical exam needed to complete a trade from the San Diego Padres to the Red Sox, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade hasn’t been finalized. Gonzalez had surgery to clean up the labrum in his non-throwing right shoulder on Oct. 20. Besides passing the physical, Gonzalez and the Red Sox will have to agree to a renegotiated contract because of the caliber of prospects Boston is giving up, one of the people familiar with the deal said. The left-hander hit .298 with 31 homers and 101 RBIs last season.

• Yankees and Jeter agree to deal: Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees reached a preliminary agreement Saturday on a three-year contract with an option for 2014, two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The people spoke Saturday on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. While negotiations moved slowly, there was little doubt that the Yankees captain would remain in pinstripes. The deal is worth an average of $15 million to $17 million annually, is subject to a physical and contains deferred money, one of the people said. It also is subject to final agreement on contract language.

Football • Union to players: Save pay, NFL lockout’s coming: NFL players might soon be socking away their next paycheck to get ready for a lockout that could cost them their entire salary in 2011. The pro football players’ union has advised its members to save their last three game checks this year in case next season is canceled. In a letter to the players that was viewed by The Associated Press, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said the union’s “internal deadline” for agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement has passed. “It is important that you protect yourself and your family,” he wrote in the letter, which was dated Wednesday.

Winter s p o r ts • Joensson, Follis win XC events: Emil Joensson of Sweden and Arianna Follis of Italy won cross-country skiing World Cup sprint races on Saturday in Germany. Joensson won in a photo-finish ahead of Fulvio Scola of Italy and Oeystein Pettersen of Norway. Follis beat Kikkan Randall of the United States and Vesna Fabjan of Slovenia on the course along the Rhine River.

• Zoeggeler wins 50th career luge World Cup race: Twotime Olympic champion Armin Zoeggeler celebrated his 50th career luge World Cup victory on Saturday. The 36-year-old veteran beat Olympic silver medalist David Moeller of Germany and Julian von Schleinitz, the junior world champion and who was making his debut on the World Cup circuit.

Zoeggeler clocked 1:44.322 for the two runs, beating Moeller by .219 seconds.

Tennis • France leads Serbia 2-1 in Davis Cup: France rallied from two sets down to defeat host Serbia in doubles Saturday and take a 2-1 lead in the Davis Cup final. Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra overcame Nenad Zimonjic and Viktor Troicki and the hometown crowd in Belgrade Arena to win 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. Today, Novak Djokovic will face Gael Monfils in the first reverse singles. Janko Tipsarevic is scheduled to play Gilles Simon in the other singles match.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 1 Duke defeats Butler in national title game rematch The Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The last two times Duke beat Butler, Mike Krzyzewski moved into a tie with one of college basketball’s legendary names.

Last April, the Blue Devils’ 6159 victory in one of the best NCAA championship games ever gave Coach K four national titles, the same as Adolph Rupp managed at Kentucky.

On Saturday, No. 1 Duke beat Butler 82-70, Krzyzewski’s 876th win in his 36th season, the same as “The Baron” had in 41 seasons with the Wildcats.

“I’m going to win more I think than Coach Rupp, God bless him, who won’t win any more,” Krzyzewski said of the late coach. “He won a lot of them and he won them in his way and they didn’t play as many games then.

Each era has outstanding achievements by individuals, whether they be players or coaches and in this era I’ve been fortunate to have some.

“It’s tough to compare,” Krzyzewski said. “I much rather would have tied him in April than today because I’m going to keep coaching and we should win more games. You get too caught up with what your own team is doing to focus on that kind of stuff.”

The 18th straight win for Duke (8-0) was on the backs of the seniorfreshman backcourt of Nolan Smith, who had 24 points, and Kyrie Irving, who had 17 of his 21 in the second half — including two big 3-pointers that turned aside the last Bulldogs charge.

Shawn Vanzant had 14 points for the Bulldogs (4-3), and his 12-point second half was what kept them close until Duke pulled away in the final minutes.

Also on Saturday: No. 3 Pittsburgh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 87 Rider . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68 PITTSBURGH — Brad Wanamaker had 16 points and 11 assists as Pittsburgh (9-0) shut down Rider’s 3-point shooters with its man-to-man defense.

Rider (5-4) was No. 7 nationally in 3point shooting at 44.6 percent, only to go seven of 21 (33 percent).

The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — Levi Knutson made the most of a rare start for Colorado.

Knutson scored a career-high 22 points, Alec Burks had 15 points and the Buffaloes used a strong first half to beat Oregon State 83-57 on Saturday night.

The junior guard hit six 3-pointers, a career high, to help Colorado avenge a 74-69 loss to the Beavers last season and extend its home winning streak to seven.

“I love to be out there, I love to play, but whether I come off the bench or start it doesn’t really matter to me,” Knutson said.

Jared Cunningham scored 16 points and Lathen Wallace 14 for the Beavers (3-4).

“Real tough,” Wallace said. “How much did we lose by — 23, 24? Something like that. It wasn’t good.”

The win was Colorado’s first in four games of the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series. The Buffaloes move to the Pac-10 next year, and this loss will be on the Beavers’ minds when they play again.

“You remember this,” Wallace said.

Playing in front of alumnus and current Denver Nuggets star Chauncey Billups, Colorado (43) took control early in the first half sparked by freshman Andre Roberson. He hit a layup and then had a steal and a fast-break layup to make it 16-9.

On the Beavers’ next possession, Burks picked the pocket of Cunningham and went in for an easy layup to finish an 11-0 run that gave Colorado the lead for good. A free throw by Wallace broke a nearly 8-minute scoring drought for Oregon State, but soon after Colorado pulled away with a 17-4 run to finish the first half.

Cory Higgins hit a 3-pointer to give the Buffaloes a 25-14 lead with 4:33 left in the half, and Roberson’s three-point play made it 28-16.

Knutson’s second 3-pointer made it 33-16, and when Austin Dufault hit a layup at the buzzer, Colorado was ahead 37-18.

Oregon State coach Craig Robinson said he wanted to stop Burks and Higgins but that Knutson made him pay for that game plan.

“Those guys are playing to be draft picks,” Robinson said. “It’s my strategy to stop those two from getting their averages and hope the other guys cannot beat you. He beat us.”

Any hope for an Oregon State comeback ended early in the second half. Knutson drilled a 3 and Burks and Marcus Relphorde had consecutive dunks to give Colorado a 48-24 lead with 16:08 left.

Bosh scores 27, Heat beat Hawks The Associated Press MIAMI — LeBron James’ new fan base in Miami had a response.

So did his teammates.

Chris Bosh scored 27 points, Dwyane Wade added 26 and the Miami Heat scored 11 straight points in the final minutes to beat the Atlanta Hawks 89-77 on Saturday night — winning their fourth straight to move a season-high five games over .500.

“It’s just a better feel in the locker room, away from the game, but also on the basketball court,” Wade said. “We’re starting to ‘get it’ with each other. ... It’s making a world of difference.”

James was quiet offensively for much of the second half, and it didn’t matter. He finished with 22 points, and got serenaded by “Miami loves you!” chants — a nod to the “Akron hates you!” cries James heard when Miami visited Cleveland for the first time since he scorned the Cavaliers and joined the Heat in July.

Wade and Bosh did their part to keep the Hawks at bay, and then the reigning twotime MVP got his first field goal of the second half with 2:52 remaining — a fierce slam, followed by a scream, giving Miami an 81-72 lead.

Mario Chalmers hit an off-balance jumper with 1:38 left, the lead was back to 11, and Miami survived.

“We’re figuring it out,” James said. “We’re figuring out what it takes for us three to be successful, and to have the team win.”

Wade and Bosh each had 10 rebounds for the Heat (13-8), whose lead was cut to two at 74-72 with 4:39 remaining. Atlanta then missed its next six shots and Miami ran away.

“They’re a tough team,” Hawks coach Larry Drew said. “Anytime you have three guys that can potentially be 20-plus every night, you got your hands full.”

Only a week ago, the Heat were reeling, calling a 40-min-

ute players-only meeting after a loss in Dallas sent a team with championship aspirations to 9-8.

GOLF ROUNDUP

LPGA TOUR

Tiger still leads tournament with one round left to play

Kerr makes move at season finale

By Doug Ferguson

The Associated Press

Furyk wins PGA Tour player of the year

The Associated Press

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Tiger Woods is one round away from ending his worst year with a familiar finish.

Woods regained control with three straight birdies early in his round, then finished with a shot that covered the flag for a tap-in birdie Saturday that gave him a 4-under 68 in the Chevron World Challenge.

It was the first time all year that Woods has posted four straight rounds in the 60s, dating to his finalround 65 in Australia. What mattered was keeping his four-shot lead over U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, who also had a 68.

No one else was within eight shots of the lead.

“I’m excited about tomorrow because of the way I’m playing,” said Woods, who has never lost a tournament that he has led by at least three shots going into the final round.

Woods, who has gone more than a year without winning — or even close to winning — was at 17-under 199.

He won the last two times he played Sherwood Country Club, where he is the tournament host, missing in 2008 after knee surgery and last year when his personal life was caving in around him.

But after eight months of looking like an ordinary player, he is starting to resemble the guy who has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors. It was his lowest score and largest lead after 54 holes since the BMW Championship last year, which he won by eight.

McDowell, trailing by four going into the second round, quickly closed within a shot with a two-putt birdie on the second and daring tee shot to the top-right hole location on the par3 third.

Woods quickly pulled away. He hit a blast-and-run from a plugged lie in the bunker on the par-5 fifth to 2 feet, rolled in a fast 20-foot birdie on the sixth and then covered the flag on the seventh to about 3 feet. Just like that, his lead was back to five.

The back nine could have gone either way. Woods was in trouble off

Caddie Steve Williams, left, high-fives Tiger Woods after his second shot from the 18th fairway during the third round of the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif., Saturday. the tee at the 11th, put picked it clean off the dirt to about 12 feet for a twoputt birdie to keep his lead at four shots. He looked to expand that lead when McDowell hit out-of-bounds on the par-5 13th, but he somehow managed a par.

On the next hole, McDowell had 6 feet for birdie and Woods was 20 feet away for par. Woods made, McDowell missed.

That’s why Woods is taking nothing for granted going into the final round.

Sherwood is the kind of course where low scores are available because of the five par 5s, but it’s easy to post a big number if a player gets out of position.

Dustin Johnson found that out the hard way, playing the final four holes in 7 over for an 80 that left him at the bottom of the pack.

Woods appears to be making big strides toward getting his game back.

He still sees it as baby steps.

“Since the PGA, there has been incremental progress, little stepping stones along the way,” he said.

McDowell has reason to see it differently. He played with Woods the first two rounds in the HSBC Champions at Shanghai, when Woods fell out of the hunt quickly with errant shots and suspect putting.

This was a different Woods he saw Saturday under a cloudy sky.

“I thought the ‘wide’ was still there,” McDowell said of Woods’ tee shots in Shanghai. “I thought he controlled it very well today. He really only had one bad drive, and he’s so impressive around the green. He’s the best there ever was around the greens.”

Also on Saturday: Westwood extends lead in South Africa SUN CITY, South Africa — Topranked Lee Westwood shot a 1-under 71 to lead by five strokes after the third round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge. His closest challenger and fellow Englishman Ross Fisher finished with a 73 on a hot day, made tougher by a swirling wind around the Gary Player Country Club. Westwood mixed two bogeys with three bird-

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Jim Furyk has been voted the PGA Tour player of the year for the first time on the strength of his three victories and capturing the FedEx Cup. Furyk, who had gone more than two years without winning, ended his long drought at the Transitions Championship. He also won The Heritage at Hilton Head, then capped off his big year by winning the Tour Championship.

It’s the second straight year that the PGA Tour player of the year did not win a major. Tiger Woods did it last year and in 2003. Also on the ballot were Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Ernie Els. The tour does not release vote totals from the players.

It was the second major award for Furyk. He also won the Vardon Trophy in 2006 when Woods did not play the required number of rounds.

ies to reach a 13-under total of 203.

Fisher was tied for second with South Africa’s Tim Clark, who shot a 68, one of two sub-70 rounds in the 12-player invitational tournament.

Australian in front at home SYDNEY — Australian star Geoff Ogilvy shot a 5-under 67 to increase his lead to five strokes after the third round of the Australian Open. Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion, had a 16-under 200 total at The Lakes. Australia’s Matt Jones, a stroke behind Ogilvy after two rounds, was second after a 71.

Martin still on top at Q-School ORLANDO, Fla. — Ben Martin had a 3-under 69 and saw his lead shrink to one shot during the fourth round of the final stage of PGA Tour qualifying. Martin was at 16 under 270 as he tries to finish among the top 25 at Orange County National — those players earn a PGA Tour card for 2011.

James Driscoll is at 271 after shooting a 66. The six-round tournament concludes on Monday.

By Antonio Gonzalez ORLANDO, Fla. — Cristie Kerr was a high school teenager the last time an American woman accomplished what she has a chance to do Sunday.

Kerr is making a move to become the first American in 16 years to win LPGA player of the year, trailing leader Amy Yang by three strokes entering the final round of the LPGA Tour Championship.

“Everybody can imagine how much it would mean to me and for American golf,” Kerr said.

Kerr shot a 1-under 71 for the third straight round Saturday to put her in a tight pack at Grand Cypress Golf Club where anybody under Cristie Kerr is par is in contention. She was three shots the only one to shoot below behind leader par in all three rounds.

Amy Yang.

Kerr, 33, needs nothing short of victory to unseat points leader Yani Tseng. All that might take is another solid round of golf to become the first American since Beth Daniel in 1994 to claim the LPGA’s most prestigious annual award.

“We also do need an American to win awards like player of the year and really start to bring the LPGA Tour back to the United States,” Kerr said.

There’s not many in her way.

Yang (73) has led all three rounds, Maria Hjorth (71) was one shot back of Yang and Seon Hwa Lee (73) was also tied with Kerr. Only five players were under par for the tournament.

“If you are under par, I still think there’s a chance,” Hjorth said.

Five players in the field had a chance to grab the No. 1 ranking and the player of the year award — plus the Vare Trophy for the year’s lowest scoring average — when the tournament began, and now Kerr is in prime position to take them all. But only a victory would give Kerr enough to take player of the year honors from Tseng, who made the 54-hole cut on the number after shooting a 2-over 74 in the third round. Tseng is at 6 over for the tournament and doesn’t sound too confident of earning the award.

“I think Cristie is gonna be winning the tournament to take this title,” Tseng said.

That’s because the American has been by far the most consistent in the field. She had three birdies but only two bogeys Saturday on a course where cold conditions and have made firm and fluctuating greens even faster.

win streak to nine The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sidney Crosby had two goals to extend his point streak to 15 games, and the Pittsburgh Penguins won their ninth straight by routing the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-2 on Saturday night.

Even without top forward Evgeni Malkin, who was sidelined by a knee injury, the Penguins didn’t miss a beat. Crosby has five goals in two games.

Paul Martin set the tone with two first-period goals, and Michael Rupp, Tyler Kennedy and Deryk Engelland also scored for the Penguins, who have points in 12 consecutive games (11-0-1).

Pittsburgh won on the road for the sixth straight time.

Marc-Andre Fleury tied a career high with his eighth consecutive win, stopping 21 shots.

CIVIL WAR NOTEBOOK

Duck lineman celebrates with a baby on the way

By Mark Morical and Zack Hall The Bulletin

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Oregon running back LaMichael James leaps in celebration after scoring one of his two touchdowns during Saturday’s game.

Ducks Continued from D1 Finally, they can talk about the Bowl Championship Series national title game.

Because, barring any major surprise today when the BCS bowl lineup is announced, the Ducks will be there for the first time ever.

“It’s a dream season and a dream come true,” said Knight, who has contributed millions of dollars to his alma mater and its athletic programs. “It’s a wonderful feeling.”

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens was somewhere in that throng of Duck players and fans, taking in a bit of history.

“These are special moments,” Mullens said. “They’re magical, and they happen so fast you just want to kind of soak it in.”

Like Knight and Mullens, Oregon players were able to open up about their thoughts on playing for the national championship on Jan. 10 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., almost certainly against Auburn.

Staying true to head coach Chip Kelly’s “win the day” philosophy, Duck players had rarely talked about the national championship as it became more and more of a possibility over the last few weeks.

Now, after a defeat of pesky rival Oregon State in the 114th Civil War, it is a reality.

“We knew the type of team we had coming into this, and we knew we were capable of winning every game we played. We saw ourselves reaching this goal.”

— Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews The Ducks overcame a rocky offseason that included player arrests and the loss of their starting quarterback, and now they have 12 straight wins.

Oregon players did not hold back deep in the bowels of Gill Coliseum, where the visitors’ locker room is located at Oregon State.

“We knew the type of team we had coming into this, and we knew we were capable of winning every game we played,” said senior linebacker Casey Matthews.

“We saw ourselves reaching this goal.”

“It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to play for a national championship, but we understand that we have to get back to work now,” said Oregon senior wide receiver Jeff Maehl, who had seven catches for 86 yards Saturday.

“We’re not happy with just going there, we want to go and win it.”

Running back LaMichael James, who rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns, said he was going to enjoy the Civil War win for at least a little while.

“This is a big one,” James said.

“Everybody on the team knew this was possible. Everybody real-

ly believed in the team, and that’s all that really matters.”

Given the bitter recent history of the Civil War — Oregon won the rivalry game each of the last two years to keep Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl — it came as no surprise that the Beavers did not exactly lay down for the Ducks.

Oregon experienced some early hiccups — two turnovers in the game’s first five minutes — and the Ducks’ halftime lead of 16-7 was not exactly airtight.

But it felt that way.

Because, as has become their MO this season, the Ducks secured the victory in the second half.

Early in the third quarter, a brilliant and flawlessly executed fake-punt call was all they needed to shake the Beavers. Michael Clay took a direct snap as punter Alejandro Maldonado pretended the long snap had sailed over his head. Clay went up the middle for 64 yards to set up Darron Thomas’ 19-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Davis that gave Oregon a 237 lead.

“We were going to do it the first time we punted,” Kelly said of the fake punt. “Those aren’t things we

Beavs Continued from D1 There was no lack of passion on the Oregon State sidelines like against UCLA. Oregon State had plenty of passion AND effort against the Ducks, evidenced by the mosh pit of Beaver players along their sideline at the start of the fourth quarter with the outcome still in doubt.

And the Beavers’ maligned defense slowed the Ducks down enough to hold Oregon to 12 points fewer than its season average.

“I’m proud of our team,” said Oregon State coach Mike Riley during a postgame press conference in OSU’s Valley Center. “I thought we played REALLY hard today.”

But this was about talent and speed. And the Beavers did not have enough of either Saturday against a national-championship contender.

“It’s a really great team, and they are well-coached by Chip (Kelly) and his group,” Riley said of the still-undefeated Ducks.

The loss was costly for the Beavers. With it, OSU finished the season at 5-7 (4-5 in the Pac10 Conference) and will miss out on playing in a bowl game for the first time since 2005.

That is not exactly what Oregon State was hoping for when the season started.

Jacquizz Rodgers was Oregon State’s only true horse playing against a Pac-10-champion UO team stacked with thoroughbreds.

Rodgers was at times breathtaking to watch, as is seemingly always the case. The junior tailback caught a short touchdown pass and ran for 87 yards on 22 carries.

Perhaps his most impressive moment came in the third quar-

Oregon State receiver Markus Wheaton caught 10 passes for 137 yards during Saturday’s game. ter, when the pint-sized back somehow squeaked through a crowd at the line of scrimmage and de-cleated Oregon safety John Boyett to finish off a 13yard carry that sent the pro-Beaver crowd into hysterics and set up an OSU field goal.

The mere mention of Rodgers’ name was enough to make his coach smile.

“He had a great year,” said Riley, adding that Rodgers’ job was made more difficult this season because defenses were able to key on him. “The guy, without a doubt, is one of the great running backs in the country. He can be included with any of them. And he showed it again today.”

But this Civil War was emblematic of much of Oregon State’s season, at least on offense. Rodgers was always the man the Beavers relied on. What was missing was a dependable second option after wide receiver James Rodgers, Quizz’s older brother, was lost for the season with an injury in early October.

The good news for the Beavers is that sophomore Markus Wheaton appeared to step into that role against Oregon, catching 10 passes for 137 yards and a late touchdown. And quarterback Ryan Katz at times looked like a future star — at least when he was not running for his life or getting a pass batted back to his feet.

“Markus was big,” Katz said.

“On third downs, he did convert.

He really stepped up and got open.”

Wheaton’s performance was something Oregon State’s coaches have been waiting to see, and it is a good sign for next year.

Both Rodgers brothers are expected to be back at OSU next year. Katz, after an up-and-down first year as a starter, now has a full season under his belt.

With the emergence of Wheaton as another threat, there are reasons to be optimistic in Corvallis.

And Wheaton can hardly wait to play alongside James Rodgers.

crazily dial up. We knew it looked good.”

But sloppy play by the Ducks — they committed 10 penalties for 61 yards — allowed the Beavers to get back into the game at 23-13 early in the fourth quarter.

Yet touchdown runs by Kenjon Barner, who finished with 133 yards rushing, and James gave Oregon a comfortable 37-13 lead.

The Ducks know they will need to play much sharper if they want to beat BCS top-ranked and Southeastern Conference champion Auburn.

“We’ve still got to clean up some things,” said Thomas. “We’ve still got one more to go, and we’ve got a little more work to do. As we all know, we went to the Rose Bowl last year and didn’t finish. We’ll get on the film work and see what (Auburn) is doing on defense.”

For those lucky enough to score a ticket to the championship game on Jan. 10 (face value is $350, and just 12,500 will be available to Oregon fans), they might see one of the more entertaining title games in recent memory.

Oregon versus Auburn (who routed South Carolina 56-17 in the SEC title game Saturday to remain undefeated) could be one to remember.

But no matter what happens in Glendale, this Oregon football season will never be forgotten.

Mark Morical can be reached at 541-383-0318 or at mmorical@ bendbulletin.com.

“It’s exciting, to tell you the truth,” Wheaton said of next year. “I can’t wait to see what happens.”

Riley agreed.

“I think we can have some fun with that group with James back,” Riley said of his receivers.

Oregon State did offer a glimpse Saturday of what is possible in 2011.

It came in the first quarter after Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas’ botched handoff to Josh Huff on OSU’s 38-yard line, one of a bevy of early Oregon miscues that gave the underdog Beavers life.

Following the Duck turnover, Oregon State, whose offense had struggled much of the season to sustain drives, engineered what ranks among the most impressive drives of its disappointing season.

The march started just four minutes into the game, and five of the first six plays went to Rodgers as the Beavers pushed the ball to the Ducks’ 34.

When Oregon State has gotten in trouble offensively this season, it usually has been when it has become too predictable. Quizz left. Quizz right. Throw to Quizz.

But this time, after Katz was sacked to push the Beavers into a long third down, the sophomore quarterback threw a 21-yard bullet to tight end Colby Prince for a first down to open up the offense.

The Beavers moved to Oregon’s 6 before Katz hit a wideopen Rodgers, who backpedaled into the end zone to make the score 7-0 with 3:23 to play in the first quarter.

The 62-yard drive took 15 plays and lasted 7 minutes and 36 seconds — the most plays and most time consumed of any Beaver scoring drive this season.

But there was not enough of that Saturday, at least not enough to compete with the high-flying Ducks.

Kenny Wheaton, who is famous for his 1994 interception of a pass by Washington’s Damon Huard and ensuing 97-yard return for a touchdown that sent Oregon to its first Rose Bowl in 37 years, was in attendance Saturday, and the cousins shared a brief moment on the field at Reser Stadium after the game.

“He said I had a good game,” Markus Wheaton said. “Nothing else, really.”

Markus Wheaton did indeed have a good game, catching 10 passes for a career-best 137 yards and a touchdown.

Coupled with Oregon’s win, it was an enjoyable game for Kenny Wheaton.

“I’m pretty sure he is happy about what happened tonight,” Markus Wheaton said. “I had a good game, and they won.”

CORVALLIS — The wife of Oregon offensive lineman Mark Asper was due to give birth to the couple’s second child at any time as of Saturday evening.

Asper said his wife, Michelle, had approved of him missing the birth, if necessary, to play in the Civil War football game.

He was listening to a voice mail from Michelle just after Oregon’s 37-20 win over Oregon State Saturday at Reser Stadium.

“She’s doing great,” said Asper, a junior from Idaho Falls, Idaho. “She’s at home (in Eugene). She’s hunky-dory. No baby, still in a holding pattern.”

The Aspers have a 2-year-old daughter, Makayla, and are expecting another baby girl.

Mark said Michelle had contractions Thursday night. He said they went to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene but were sent home because the baby would not drop.

Asper, having spent most of the night in the hospital, was allowed to miss the Ducks’ practice on Friday.

It could shape up to be a pretty big weekend for Asper: helping lead the Ducks to a berth in the national championship game and then witnessing the birth of his second child.

“It could be a couple of really good days,” Asper said, “winning here and then having baby No. 2.”

Oregon running back LaMichael James broke former Beaver Steven Jackson’s sophomore record of 1,656 rushing yards. He carried 28 times for a game-high 134 yards and now has 1,682 yards for the season, the second-highest total ever in a season at UO. James increased his school record for touchdowns in a season to 22 with a pair or scoring runs, and he broke the 100-yard rushing barrier for the ninth time in his 11 games this season.

Winning streak

One of the best

With its Civil War victory Saturday, Oregon now has 12 wins for the first time in school history, establishing a new alltime UO win streak (12) in the process.

With their perfect record, the Ducks won the outright Pac-10 Conference title for the second straight season and became the first Pac-10 team to go undefeated in league play since the start of round-robin conference play in 2006.

“It’s a challenge,” said Oregon head coach Chip Kelly of going undefeated in the Pac-10. “The coaching in this league … you get tested every week. To go undefeated is pretty special.”

Junior Jacquizz Rodgers’ 87 yards Saturday against Oregon put him over 1,000 yards, but his total of 1,097 yards is the lowest season total in his three years as Oregon State’s starting running back.

Rodgers now has 3,877 yards in his career, moving into sixth place on the Pac-10’s all-time rushing list and second place on OSU’s career list.

Catching USC’s Charles White, the conference recordholder with 6,245 yards in his career (1976-1979), will be no easy task for Rodgers. Ken Simonton (1998-2001) holds the OSU record with 5,044 career yards.

Family reunion

Record crowd

Not all Ducks and Beavers are bitter rivals.

Oregon State sophomore receiver Markus Wheaton is the cousin of former Oregon standout defensive back Kenny Wheaton.

The 46,469 fans in attendance Saturday were the most ever to watch a game at Reser Stadium.

For the season, Oregon State averaged 45,509 per game, breaking the OSU record of 44,931 set in 2008.

The Beavers rolled up 319 yards against a good Oregon defense. And the Oregon State offense traveled into Oregon territory seven times.

But only four times did OSU come away with points.

“I couldn’t tell you,” Wheaton said of the Beavers’ inability at times to sustain drives, a seasonlong problem for OSU. “We get to the red zone, and our execution goes down the drain. I don’t know.”

It was a frustrating end to an even more frustrating season.

And one that the Beavers should not forget if they want to

get back on a winning track next season.

“This day, today, will be a motivator,” Riley said. “Right now, from today until we kick off in the fall, this is a motivating thing that happened today.”

Ducks top Beavers in Civil War, 37-20

By Ralph D. Russo

UO’s ru nning-back d uo accounts for 267 yards

The Associated Press

CORVALLIS — As the third quarter turned to the fourth and AC/DC blared in Reser Stadium, Oregon State’s sideline was rocking, Beaver players thinking they just might pull off a monster upset.

On their side, Oregon’s Ducks stayed cool — focused on winning the day.

When it was done, and a spot in the BCS national title game was secured, that’s when the Ducks finally let loose.

Heisman Trophy contender LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner and the fast-paced Ducks negotiated the last speed bump on the way to Glendale, Ariz., grinding out a 37-20 victory over the Beavers in the Civil War on Saturday.

The matchup becomes official today, but there will be no surprises when the final Bowl Championship Series standings come out: Oregon will play Auburn on Jan. 10 for its first national championship.

“The best part about it is … we expected this,” Ducks defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “It’s the way we prepared, the way we planned, we expected this.”

James ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns while Barner gained 133 yards and scored twice for the Ducks (12-0, 9-0 Pac10), who used some stiff defense in the red zone — led by Bair and linebacker Casey Matthews — and three interceptions to fend off their feisty rivals.

Not until the fourth quarter did Oregon finally shake free.

Barner’s 23-yard touchdown run with 12:16 remaining made it 30-13, and James popped through the middle for a 10-yard score with 4:27 left to seal it.

Jacquizz Rodgers had 87 yards rushing for the Beavers (5-7, 4-5) and scored a touchdown, but they were forced to settle for short field goals twice in the third quarter — and that just won’t do against the most prolific offense in the country.

“We should have gotten into the end zone on those field goals. It hurt us bad,” said Markus Wheaton, who had 10 catches for 137 yards and a late touchdown that was too little and too late.

When the clock hit 00:00, James and his teammates bounded over to a corner of the stadium to celebrate with their band, their famous Donald Duck-clone mascot and their fans.

The Oregon faithful spilled onto the field and the pushuppumping mascot got swallowed up as he crowd-surfed. The party was headed south, 40 miles down Interstate 5 to Eugene.

“We’re not going to play a national championship right now, we’re going to prepare for one,” Kelly said. “But we got to this point by our preparation and we know we’re going to have to go to work for the next month to show up on the 10th (of January).”

TCU, which was sitting in third place in the BCS standings coming into the weekend and needing an upset to get to the championship game, didn’t get it from the Beavers.

The stakes for the 114th Civil War were high, as the Ducks were assured of a spot in the national title game with a victory. The Beavers? They were simply looking to get to .500 and avoid sitting out the bowl season for the first time since 2005.

Oregon State did not play like a big underdog and Oregon never did unleash a wave of big plays, like those that have consumed so many other teams. The Beavers’ blitzes got to quarterback Darron Thomas and the Ducks sometimes sputtered, failing to land a knockout shot until late.

The Ducks’ best play of the third quarter came from their special teams as Michael Clay, an up back on the punt team, burst through the middle of the line on a fake punt and rumbled 64 yards on a fourth down deep in Oregon territory. That set up a 19-yard

touchdown pass off a screen to D.J. Davis that made it 23-7.

The Beavers inched closer with two short field goals by Justin Kahut (26 and 22 yards), and 10 seconds into the fourth quarter Oregon’s lead was 23-13. It could have been 23-21 if Oregon State had converted both of those opportunities into touchdowns.

“Big-time. Big-time stops,” Thomas said. “Most people talk about our offense, but our defense came out big-time.”

With the aid of a pass-interference call on third down, Oregon responded. The penalty led to Barner’s 23-yard touchdown run up the middle. The Ducks, sporting silver helmets and pants (they call it steel-colored), were finally in the clear.

Oregon State, maybe looking for inspiration, went with a retro look. The Beavers were decked out in 1967 black throwback uniforms. That team beat No. 1 USC and O.J. Simpson and had a win and a tie against teams ranked No. 2.

This OSU team won’t even go to a bowl.

For decades, Oregon was a second-class Pac-10 team. But in 1994 Rich Brooks led the Ducks to their first Rose Bowl since 1965 and it turned out to be no fluke. Brooks left for the NFL and handed the program off to Mike Bellotti.

With Knight helping to fund the cause, the Ducks became a factor in the Pac-10 and was in position to play for a national title with quarterback Joey Harrington after the 2001 season.

The BCS numbers didn’t work out for the Ducks that season,

and the window of opportunity in the Pac-10 closed the next season as Southern California began its dominant run.

After the 2008 season, Bellotti stepped aside and Kelly, after just one season as offensive coordinator, was promoted to head coach.

The Ducks finally knocked the Trojans off the Pac-10 throne and went to the Rose Bowl last season, wrapping up the conference title with a victory in the Civil War. This time, after three early turnovers (two by Oregon), the rivals traded touchdown drives that would typify the way each wanted to play.

Oregon State took 15 plays and a season-high 7:36 off the clock to go 62 yards for a six-yard touchdown pass to Rodgers.

Oregon responded quickly, needing only 2:43 to go 60 yards, capped by a three-yard touchdown pass from Thomas to Barner. The Ducks botched the extra point, a low snap leading to a block. Kicker Rob Beard made a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter and missed a 25-yarder on the final play of the first half.

In between, James capped a 74-

CORVALLIS — Oregon’s LaMichael James is going to savor this one for a while. Right after he gets some shut-eye.

James and running mate Kenjon Barner combined for 267 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday’s 37-20 victory over rival Oregon State to put the Ducks in the national title game.

“We want to go win a national championship, but right now I’m really happy,” James said.

“I’m going to celebrate this one for a while.”

Truth be told, though, James said first he was going to take a shower and get some rest.

“I haven’t slept at all this week,” he said.

James, considered a Heisman Trophy candidate, ran for a game-high 134 yards and two scores against the Beavers. He is averaging a major-college-best 150.54 yards rushing a game for Oregon (12-0, 9-0 Pac-10), with its flashy and fast spread-option attack.

With 1,682 yards so far this season, he set a new Pac-10 sophomore rushing record, breaking the record set by Oregon State’s Steven Jackson. He has 22 rushing touchdowns, a school record.

Saturday’s game was the ninth time he has run for at least 100 yards this season.

But he wasn’t alone against the Beavers.

Fellow sophomore Barner ran for another 133 yards and a score as the Ducks netted 346 yards on the ground. He also caught a short touchdown pass from quarterback Darron Thomas.

yard drive that took 1:55 and included no completed passes with an eight-yard touchdown run to make it 16-7.

The Ducks were far from their best Saturday, but as the clear skies turned gray and clouds

“Kenjon’s a great player. He came into the game and he got some long runs,” James said.

“It really helps to have us both because we can always have fresh legs.”

Barner didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. He had been a key part of Oregon’s return team and had 1,553 all-purpose yards as a freshman.

Since facing New Mexico, Barner has been a solid backup for James, his close friend.

He has 964 all-purpose yards this season. But he was sidelined for two games after he suffered a serious concussion in Oregon’s 43-23 victory at Washington State on Oct. 9.

Barner said he and James have a unique relationship.

“Be there for him, he’s there for me. Whenever he gets tired I go in and I do what I can for the team and I know that LaMichael is going to make it happen so I have to come in and try to keep up with him,” Barner said.

On Saturday, Barner was overwhelmed by his season, coming back from the concussion to play a key role in the Civil War and winning a ticket to the BCS championship game. Like James, he planned to celebrate the victory with his dad.

“Just to get back out on the field and play with these guys, it’s a blessing,” Barner said.

“This win, you can’t really put it into words right now, it really hasn’t set in what we’ve done as a team and what we’ve been able to overcome throughout this entire season. It’s a feeling that’s unexplainable.”

TOP 25 COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

No. 2 Auburn wins SEC title in a rout The Associated Press ATLANTA — Cam Newton still seems a little dazed by it all, how a guy who was playing at a junior college in Texas just a season ago has the Heisman Trophy in his grasp, his team just one win away from the national championship.

Believe it.

With his best performance yet in a week when NCAA pronounced him good to go, Newton accounted for six touchdowns in the Southeastern Conference championship game to lead No. 2 Auburn to a 56-17 rout of 18th-ranked South Carolina on Saturday.

“It’s not even sunk in,” said Newton, who threw for a careerbest 335 yards and four touchdowns, plus ran for a pair of scores. “I’ve just been living the dream.”

An even bigger game looms on Jan. 10.

Auburn, which came into the day leading the Bowl Championship Series standings, wrapped up its spot in the title game against top-ranked Oregon, which secured a trip to Glendale, Ariz., with a 37-20 victory over Oregon State.

Newton guided the Tigers (130) to touchdowns on their first three possessions, though South Carolina (9-4) was in the game as halftime approached. Trailing only 21-14, the Gamecocks simply had to knock down Newton’s last-gasp heave on the final play before the break.

They couldn’t even do that.

Newton launched one up and 6-foot-2 DeVonte Holloman, standing in front of Terrell Zachery, leaped to tip it away. But the deflected ball went right to Darvin Adams for an improbable 51-yard touchdown that changed the complexion of the game. After South Carolina missed a field goal on the first possession of the second half, it was all Tigers.

“That was huge momentum swing right before the half,” Chizik said.

Maybe there’s a bit of karma in how things worked out.

While many will surely consider any title to be tainted because of Newton’s father seeking illegal payments during the recruiting process, the Tigers can counter that this makes up for the 2004 season.

Auburn went 13-0 that year but didn’t get a chance to even play for the national title. Instead, USC and Oklahoma met in the Orange Bowl, with the Trojans winning in a 55-19 romp.

This game was nearly as lopsided. In the second half, Newton ran right over Antonio Allen on a 1-yard touchdown, sending the linebacker tumbling onto his back to make it 35-14. The Auburn star finished his day with a

Kennedy’s impression on a whole generation

M

arking points in history traditionally come in 10-year increments.

Next September, for instance, will mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

The media will be awash, as it should be, in remembrances.

A year ago was the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and, coincidentally, of Charles Darwin.

Fifty years ago, John F. Kennedy had just been elected the 35th president of the United States.

For those of us old enough to appreciate this anniversary, it is one of those chapter headings in the narrative of our lives.

It follows the end of the Korean War, but precedes the landing on the moon, the end of the war in Vietnam and the impeachment and resignation of President Richard Nixon.

Again, for those of us old enough, there is, of course, the memory of JFK’s strained relationship with the burgeoning civil rights movement and the suspense of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

And then, as if to slam shut the book of our memories, there was his assassination in November 1963 and his succession

by Lyndon Johnson.

What is often overlooked is the uneven history of his presidency.

Many historians suggest that Kennedy would be a historically mediocre president except that he is a modern political martyr.

His was, after all, the iconic national funeral of my generation’s time.

Alive, he was, as many of his biographers attest, difficult to read.

In his book, “President Kennedy: Profile of Power,” Richard Reeves writes, “All his relationships were bilateral. He was a compartmentalized man with secrets and lies.

He needed them because that was part of his stimulation: things were rarely what they seemed. He called people when he wanted them, for what he wanted them.”

But from inauguration to assassination, he did capture our imaginations.

One of the only fights I had with my childhood best friend was whether Kennedy, a Catholic, could consider Washington and not Rome his first allegiance.

We were 16 at the time, and I, as a Catholic, argued that Konrad Adenauer, the first chancellor of West Germany, was a devout Catholic who did a heck of a job rebuilding a post-war, defeated country without kowtowing to the Holy See. But JFK went beyond the argument over loyalty. He had a magnetic appeal. He was young, smart and handsome, and had a beautiful wife. Beyond that, and more importantly, he was different. He was not, as so many elected leaders seemed, our father scolding or lecturing us. He was our older brother enthusing us.

I have asked friends of my generation what they remember, and their answers are telling.

Jim Petersen, attorney with Karnopp, Petersen, who voted for Nixon, recalled, “I liked Kennedy and had warmer feelings about him as a person than I did Nixon. I remember people making a big deal about him being Catholic and him ‘seeming’ to try and distance himself from that.

I remember the almost rock-star status he achieved with especially younger voters, and I remember not being that disappointed when he won the election.”

Talk to most people in my generation and they will recall where they were and what they felt on Nov. 22, 1963, the day JFK’s life ended in Dallas.

My colleague Janet Stevens remembers, “We heard the news on the radio and went back to school and told our teachers.

It was, of course, a shock. We all sat glued to the television set from then to the funeral — much like we did after 9/11, I suspect. I remember Walter Cronkite crying as he announced the president was dead, and the shock when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald — I think he cheated the nation out of resolution of the case.”

Another colleague, Peg Cushman, poignantly observed, “We got to go home from junior high that day. I sobbed. The vice principal came over the loudspeaker to announce the death. It was the first time I felt my parents couldn’t make everything OK.” It was, for many us, the day we became adults.

hen Danish and Czech scientists exhumed the remains of the astronomer Tycho Brahe in Prague this month, they

sands of years: a story with major box-office potential.

It’s “Amadeus” meets “Da Vinci Code” meets “Hamlet,” featuring a deadly struggle for the secret of the universe between Brahe, the swashbuckling Danish nobleman with a gold-and-silver prosthetic nose, and the not-yet-famous Johannes Kepler, his frail, jealous German assistant.

The story also includes an international hit man, hired after a Danish prince becomes king and suspects Brahe of sleeping with his mother (and maybe being his father!).

For comic relief, there’s a beerdrinking pet elk wandering around Brahe’s castle, as well as a jester named Jepp, a dwarf who sits under Brahe’s table and is believed to be clairvoyant.

Naturally, the scientists analyzing Brahe’s remains are steering clear of all this gossip, including the claim that Brahe had an affair with the Danish queen that helped inspire “Hamlet.”

The archaeologist leading the team cautions that even if they confirm suspicions that Brahe was poisoned by mercury, that wouldn’t necessarily prove he was murdered, much less identify the killer.

Typical scientists. Fortunately for Brahe and Kepler, Hollywood has never let a lack of data get in the way of a plot. There’s no evidence that Antonio Salieri poisoned Mozart, and look what the movie “Amadeus” did for their album sales. The only difficulty for a screenwriter would be

choosing an assassin from the competing candidates (and deciding between scholars’ Latin pronunciation of “Tee-ko” or the “Tye-ko” popularly applied to the lunar crater named after Brahe). The movie would open, of course, with the duel in 1566 that cost the 20-year-old Brahe a good chunk of his nose (a sword fight possibly precipitated by an argument over

A pair of married journalists, Joshua and Anne-Lee Gilder, wrote the 2004 book “Heavenly Intrigue: Johannes Kepler, Tycho Brahe, and the Murder Behind One of History’s Greatest Scientific Discoveries.”

mathematics, or maybe a mistaken astrological prediction by Brahe).

Before long Brahe has a metal nose as well as an island with a castle and an observatory, financed by the king of Denmark and equipped with the most precise instruments yet built for tracking the planets and stars.

Brahe wins renown by identifying new stars, including a supernova, but after his royal patron dies, he finds himself out of favor with the son and successor, Christian IV. Brahe goes to Prague and a new patron, Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor. As he prepares to publish his decades of celestial observations, Brahe hopes to prove that all the planets except Earth revolve around the Sun, which in turn revolves around the Earth.

To help with the calculations, he brings in Kepler, a 28-year-old with his own weird model of the universe.

Kepler, a devout Lutheran as well as a Copernican, believes that God created cosmic “harmony” by arranging the planets’ orbits around the Sun so that they’re spaced at distances corresponding to certain geometrical figures (the five “Platonic solids”). Brahe introduces Kepler to the emperor and lobbies for his appointment as imperial mathematician. But before Kepler’s appointment is formalized, Brahe suddenly becomes terribly ill after a banquet and dies 11 days later, at the age of 54.

Clinton, Teater did what’s right

B

end city councilors voted earlier this week to approve an expensive element of an expensive new water system for the city, though they didn’t do so unanimously. Jim Clin-

ton and Oran Teater rightly refused to approve the membrane filtration system because, they said, there are too many unanswered questions about the whole water system improvement scheme that should be answered first.

For Clinton, the “no” vote was a reiteration of his earlier objection to the city’s desire to expand its surface water system while questions about whether a groundwater alternative would be both cheaper and adequate remain.

Teater did not oppose the Bridge Creek update earlier, but now, he says, enough questions have been raised that he believes they must be answered before any plan moves forward.

Then there’s the cost of the filtration system itself, some $5 million more expensive than an ultraviolet light filtration alternative. The membrane system is being touted as necessary in case of wildfire, which could dump mud and other debris in Bridge Creek. Of course, the city wouldn’t

need such a filtration system at all if it stopped diverting water from Bridge Creek — one of the potential advantages of relying entirely upon wells.

Unlike the other five members of the council, Teater and Clinton took the prudent approach. Given the concerns that have been raised about the city’s surface water project — not only about cost, but also about impact on the Deschutes River — they’re right to believe a delay makes sense until a credible independent analysis can be done. It’s a move city officials have refused to make, however, and unless they’re forced to do so city residents may well spend years paying for a Cadillac public works project when a Chevrolet would have sufficed.

Portland politicians posture on guns P

ortland’s mayor, Sam Adams, is nothing if not bold. His latest move, a five-pronged effort to strictly regulate guns in his city, is both innovative and very likely illegal under Oregon law.

Adams has persuaded his city council to approve five changes to city law. One new ordinance would hold adults responsible if their guns fall into children’s hands. Another would require gun owners to report the theft or loss of a firearm and penalize them if they fail to do so. A third would create shooting “hot spots” and bar some gun offenders from them. In addition, councilors approved changes to the city’s code that would place a 7 p.m. curfew on children convicted of gun offenses and require a 30day jail sentence for gun offenders found carrying loaded weapons in public, including in cars or on public transportation.

Adams says the changes are needed because the state refuses to act to control guns in its biggest city, according to The Oregonian newspaper.

Unfortunately for the mayor, it hasn’t refused to act at all. Instead, its actions

are clearly something he and his fellows on the city council disagree with.

State lawmakers acted 15 years ago when, in 1995, they approved a state preemption law where gun regulation is concerned. Under it, no city or county may regulate much of anything involving guns. The statute makes it illegal for cities and counties to “regulate, restrict or prohibit the sale, acquisition, transfer, ownership, possession, storage, transportation or use of firearms or any element relating to firearms and components thereof, including ammunition.” It does allow cities and counties to regulate the discharge of guns, and they may also prohibit carrying loaded guns in public.

Adams and his cohorts fully expect their actions to be challenged in court and that they very well may lose. Knowing that going in, what possessed them — and who’s going to get stuck with the cost of defending the inevitable lawsuits? The new rules may make them look like good, caring civil servants — or, alternatively, posturing politicians — but if those rules are illegal, they’re not worth the paper they’re written on.

We’re shocked P

olice arrested a pair of Terrebonne residents this week on suspicion of selling drugs, including marijuana. One of the two is a state-authorized grower of marijuana for “medical” use.

Thus, it appears, some of that

“medical” marijuana might not have been used for strictly medical purposes. We’re shocked. Shocked!

Last month, voters overwhelmingly opposed a vast expansion of the state’s medical marijuana program. Looks like they knew what they were doing.

U.S. must get tough on WikiLeaks WASHINGTON — t is understandable for the administration to underplay the significance of the WikiLeaks State Department cables. But while it is wise not to go into a public panic, it is delusional to think that this is merely embarrassing gossip and indiscretion. The leaks have done major damage.

First, quite specific damage to our war-fighting capacity. Take just one revelation among hundreds: The Yemeni president and deputy prime minister are quoted as saying that they’re letting the U.S. bomb al-Qaida in their country, while claiming that the bombing is the government’s doing. Well, that cover is pretty well blown. And given the unpopularity of the Sanaa government’s tenuous cooperation with us in the war against al-Qaida, this will undoubtedly limit our freedom of action against its Yemeni branch, identified by the CIA as the most urgent terrorist threat to U.S. security.

Second, we’ve suffered a major blow to our ability to collect information.

Talking candidly to a U.S. diplomat can now earn you headlines around the world, reprisals at home or worse.

Success in the war on terror depends on being trusted with other countries’ secrets. Who’s going to trust us now?

Third, this makes us look bad, very bad. But not in the way Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implied in her cringe-inducing apology speech in which she scolded these awful leakers for having done a disservice to “the international community,” and plaintively deplored how this hampers U.S. attempts to bring about a better world.

She sounded like a cross between an exasperated school principal and a Miss America contestant professing world peace to be her fondest wish.

The problem is not that the purloined

I

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER cables exposed U.S. hypocrisy or double-dealing. Good God, that’s the essence of diplomacy. That’s what we do; that’s what everyone does. Hence the famous aphorism that a diplomat is an honest man sent abroad to lie for his country.

Nothing new here. What is notable, indeed shocking, is the administration’s torpid and passive response to the leaks. What’s appalling is the helplessness of a superpower that not only cannot protect its own secrets but shows the world that if you violate its secrets — massively, wantonly and maliciously — there are no consequences.

Time to show a little steel. To show that such miscreants don’t get to walk away.

At a Monday news conference, Attorney General Eric Holder assured the nation that his people are diligently looking into possible legal action against WikiLeaks. Where has Holder been? The WikiLeaks exposure of Afghan War documents occurred five months ago. Holder is looking now at possible indictments? This is a country where a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Months after the first leak, Justice’s thousands of lawyers have yet to prepare charges against Julian Assange and his confederates?

Throw the Espionage Act of 1917 at them. And if that is not adequate, if that law has been too constrained and watered down by subsequent Supreme Court rulings, then why hasn’t the ad-

ministration prepared new legislation adapted to these kinds of Internet-age violations of U.S. security? It’s not as if we didn’t know more leaks were coming. And that more leaks are coming still.

Think creatively. The WikiLeaks document dump is sabotage, however quaint that term may seem. We are at war — a hot war in Afghanistan where six Americans were killed just this past Monday, and a shadowy world war where enemies from Yemen to Portland, Ore., are planning holy terror. Franklin Roosevelt had German saboteurs tried by military tribunal and shot. Assange has done more damage to the U.S. than all six of those Germans combined. Putting U.S. secrets on the Internet, a medium of universal dissemination new in human history, requires a reconceptualization of sabotage and espionage — and the laws to punish and prevent them. Where is the Justice Department?

And where are the intelligence agencies on which we lavish $80 billion a year? Assange has gone missing. Well, he’s no cave-dwelling jihadi ascetic.

Find him. Start with every five-star hotel in England and work your way down.

Want to prevent this from happening again? Let the world see a man who can’t sleep in the same bed on consecutive nights, who fears the long arm of American justice. I’m not advocating that we bring out of retirement the KGB proxy who, on a London street, killed a Bulgarian dissident with a poisoned umbrella tip. But it would be nice if people like Assange were made to worry every time they go out in the rain.

‘Tis the season for partisan rancor on Capitol Hill S

trange signs and portents abound in the land.

In Brooklyn, bees are turning red.

The innocent residents of Boca Raton, Fla., are living in terror of an attack otter, which climbs out of the water to bite people in their backyards.

And in Washington, the Senate passed a big bipartisan bill.

Is it any wonder that people speak in trembling whispers of the end of days?

Fortunately, things are not quite as apocalyptic as they seem at first glance.

The bees, according to a column by Susan Dominus in The Times, had been hanging around a maraschino cherry factory.

A wildlife expert told The South Florida Sun-Sentinel that people may have been feeding the otters, which makes them aggressive. And the bipartisan bill, which would overhaul the nation’s food safety system, still has to go back to the House, so there’s plenty of time to screw it up.

Congress has been working on this legislation since 2008, when a big foodpoisoning epidemic reminded everyone that the Food and Drug Administration is currently working with laws written

during the Great Depression. It survived endless delays by Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who believes the free market is your last, best defense against E. coli.

But staff members for the leading Democratic and Republican senators on the health committee actually got together and worked things out the way they used to do in olden days. Most of the negotiators were women, and while I am certainly not saying that made a difference, I am, sort of, just saying.

Not everybody was impressed by the achievement.

“Oh, my gosh! It’s so important,” said Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “I’m glad I rushed back from our break to work on food safety.”

Brown felt the Senate should have been focusing on economic issues, particularly his effort to stop the extension of unemployment compensation benefits until the Senate agrees to the Scott Brown Unemployment Compensation Funding Plan.

“Is it because I’m a Republican that we’re not going to pass that? Is it because I’m the new guy?” he demanded.

GAIL COLLINS We will now have a moment of silence to contemplate the suffering of Sen. Brown. Who had to come back the week after Thanksgiving in order to vote on a major bipartisan bill aimed at keeping people from being poisoned by contaminated food. And then became a victim of discrimination.

Congress is not exactly in a holiday mood. The Senate Democrats are frustrated because the Republicans won’t let them bring up any bills until they vote on extending the Bush tax cuts. On Wednesday night, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York proposed that everybody just compromise and extend the tax cuts for people with an income under a million dollars a year. “Will you accept?” he asked Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. “That’s a great

compromise. Or are you going to say, ‘Oh, no. Hold out for the millionaires?’ ” Alexander is a particularly affable guy, as he demonstrated the other day when he got up and announced he was going to say “one good thing” about each of the 16 retiring senators.

The whole world waited to see what he was going to do with Jim Bunning of Kentucky, who has reset the bar when it comes to combining craziness and crankiness. Was Alexander going to find some way to make a warmhearted anecdote out of the time Bunning single-handedly held up an important administration confirmation because he was angry at Canada for banning the sale of flavored tobacco? No, as it turned out, Bunning “has been a persistent leader in fighting for sick nuclear workers who served our country during the ’50s and ’60s.” Who knew? Good work, Sen. Alexander.

But that was a fleeting moment, foam of friendliness in a sea of rancor. Alexander quickly dodged Schumer’s offer, insisting that the Senate could actually do nothing whatsoever about taxes until it got results from the “great negotiations”

that were begun by the White House.

While it was extremely pleasant to hear Alexander finding a way to extol some unlovable outgoing senators, it was very unnerving to hear him sounding so confident about the White House’s willingness to negotiate away taxes on the rich.

So the Senate Democrats are frustrated. And the Senate Republicans are unhappy, too, because the Democrats keep saying that the GOP cares more about “a tax cut for millionaires” than the middle class, the unemployed, gay soldiers, immigrant college students or stopping nuclear war. This appears to be true, but that doesn’t make it any less irritating to hear approximately five thousand times an afternoon.

Maybe things will work out. Maybe the White House will not cave, and the Republicans will not be intransigent, and the Democrats will get their act together and be canny and unified.

Maybe we should not rule out the possibility of zombie otters.

O Jerry Brown’s next term will be his legacy VICTOR T DAVIS

he most interesting current political question is not whether Barack Obama will triangulate after his party’s midterm shellacking — he probably won’t — but what in the world California’s new/old governor, Jerry Brown, will do in January 2011.

At 72, Brown is returning to a third term as California governor after a hiatus of 28 years to face a $26 billion budget deficit and an unemployment rate above 12 percent. So is it to be more taxes, more government, both or neither?

Both conservatives and liberals agree that Brown will probably do what California’s progressive voters elected him to do: keep government and its services big and find the necessary revenue from corporations and more affluent individuals to pay for it. The real debate is over whether he can pull that off in recessionary times.

Conservatives believe he cannot. They argue that the California model of huge public-sector salaries and pensions, high taxes, intrusive government and unchecked illegal immigration is unsustainable, and a prescription for Third Worldlike chaos and poverty. In this pessimistic view, California is just a year or two behind Greece and Portugal, but without a Germany to bail it out — especially now, with a tight-fisted Republican-led House that soon may cut off federal subsidies to

HANSON a now-insolvent California.

Californians, then, will get what they deserve for electing the doctrinaire liberal Brown. Necessary cuts will come only when a penniless California can no longer count on more 11th-hour bailouts.

In contrast, most liberals hope that Brown can find some way to raise fees and taxes to feed the comfortable public sector by counting on the resiliency of a California economy that has always bounced back. After all, the state enjoys world-class ports at Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland. Vibrant tourism draws millions everywhere from Yosemite to Disneyland. Silicon Valley is still the global high-tech capital. Central Valley agriculture is the richest in the world.

Hollywood, the Napa Valley and coastal wine industries, a huge construction sector and still-plentiful oil and gas give the state one of the most diverse economies in the world.

If high earners are fleeing the state, exhausted by high taxes and regulations, there will always be new wannabe Cali-

fornia dreamers eager to replace them — drawn to the natural wealth, sun, laidback lifestyle and vibrant popular culture. In other words, Democrats count on Brown to bide time until the eighthlargest economy in the world kicks back in. That inevitable recovery will allow the status-quo Brown to claim things got better once he was in office, without him doing much of anything differently.

But there is also a third “Nixon Goes to China” school that envisions a more maverick Brown. Some remember how, in his earlier tenure as governor, he embraced the property-tax reductions of Proposition 13 that he once opposed by claiming ex post facto that they were in line with his own Zen-like frugality.

If the liberal Brown were to now take on out-of-control public spending, he would be immune to the charges of callousness that destroyed multimillionaire outgoing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and would have likewise smeared Republican billionaire gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman had she won. Perhaps given that California already has the highest sales, income and gas taxes in the nation, Brown could shrug and say that any more tax increases would set off an even greater stampede out of the state.

And at 72, the once overly ambitious Brown — who ran for the presidency three times — can forget about leapfrog-

ging into the White House. The question now is Brown’s final legacy, not his next career move. We know from the implosion of the European Union that unchecked big government inevitably leads to public insolvency. But does it also ensure, Brown might ask, moral bankruptcy?

In a postmodern world of omnipresent cheap consumer goods and all sorts of government-subsidized cradle-to-grave perks, can “small is beautiful” Jerry Brown teach Californians not just that too much stuff is no longer affordable or sustainable, but, at a deeper level, that our out-of-control excesses, appetites and dependencies are no longer good for our souls?

If he can, Brown could finally shed the old caricature of “Governor Moonbeam” and become the landmark philosopherstatesman he once promised that he would be, but was not, three decades ago. And if he can’t, he’ll be remembered as just another tax-and-spend California ideologue like hyper-partisan Rep. Nancy Pelosi or fossilized Sen. Barbara Boxer — perpetually fiddling away in office while the redistributive state went up in flames.

on Monday there was an article noting that Republicans Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee are denouncing Obama for denying “American exceptionalism.”

The Americans have replaced working to be exceptional with talking about how exceptional they still are. They don’t seem to understand that you can’t declare yourself “exceptional,” only others can bestow that adjective upon you.

In foreign policy, we see no chance of Obama extricating U.S. forces from Afghanistan. He knows the Republicans will call him a wimp if he does, so America will keep hemorrhaging $190 million a day there. Therefore, America will lack the military means to challenge us anywhere else, particularly on North Korea, where our lunatic friends continue to yank America’s chain every six months so that the Americans have to come and beg us to calm things down. By the time the Americans do get out of Afghanistan, the Afghans will surely hate them so much that China’s mining companies already operating there should be able to buy up the rest of Afghanistan’s rare minerals.

Most of the Republicans just elected to Congress do not believe what their scientists tell them about man-made climate change. America’s politicians are mostly lawyers — not engineers or scientists like ours — so they’ll just say crazy things about science and nobody calls them on it. It’s good. It means they will not support any bill to spur clean energy innovation, which is central to our next five-year plan. And this ensures that our efforts to dominate the wind, solar, nuclear and electric car industries will not be challenged by America.

Finally, record numbers of U.S. high school students are now studying Chinese, which should guarantee us a steady supply of cheap labor that speaks our language here, as we use our $2.3 trillion in reserves to quietly buy up U.S. factories. In sum, things are going well for China in America.

Thank goodness the Americans can’t read our diplomatic cables.

Tolstoy fell prey to the dangers of activism O DAVID

ne hundred years ago, Leo Tolstoy lay dying at a train station in southern Russia. Journalists, acolytes and newsreel photographers gathered for the passing of the great prophet. Between 3:30 and 5:30 on that freezing November morning, Tolstoy’s wife stood on the porch outside his death chamber because his acolytes would not let her in. At one point she begged them to at least admit her into an anteroom so that the photographers would get the impression she was being allowed to see her husband on his final day.

There are many reasons to think about Tolstoy on the centennial of his death. Among them: his ability to see.

Tolstoy had an almost superhuman ability to perceive reality.

As a young man, he was both sensually and spiritually acute. He drank, gambled and went off in search of sensations and adventures. But he also experienced piercing religious crises.

As a soldier, he conceived “a stupendous idea, to the realization of which I feel capable of dedicating my whole life.

The idea is the founding of a new religion corresponding to the present development of mankind: The religion of Christ purged of dogmas and mysticism.”

But when he sat down to write his great novels, his dreams of saving mankind were bleached out by the vividness of the reality he saw around him. Readers often comment that the worlds cre-

BROOKS ated in those books are more vivid than the real world around them. With Olympian detachment and piercing directness, Tolstoy could describe a particular tablecloth, a particular moment in a particular battle, and the particular feeling in a girl’s heart before a ball.

He had his biases. In any Tolstoy story, the simple, rural characters are likely to be good and the urbane ones bad. But his ability to enter into and recreate the experiences of each of his characters overwhelms his generalizations.

Isaiah Berlin famously argued that Tolstoy was a writer in search of Big Truths, but his ability to see reality in all its particulars destroyed the very theories he hoped to build. By entering directly into life in all its contradictions, he destroyed his own peace of mind.

As Tolstoy himself wrote, “The aim of an artist is not to solve a problem irrefutably, but to make people love life in all its countless, inexhaustible manifestations.”

But after “Anna Karenina,” that changed. He was overwhelmed by the

pointlessness of existence. As his biographer A.N. Wilson surmises, he ran out of things to write about. He had consumed the material of his life.

So he gave up big novels and became a holy man. Fulfilling his early ambition, he created his own religion, which rejected the Jesus story but embraced the teachings of Jesus. He embraced simplicity, poverty, vegetarianism, abstinence, poverty and pacifism.

He dressed like a peasant. He wrote religious tracts to attract people to the simple, pure life.

Many contemporary readers like the novel-writing Tolstoy but regard the holy man as a semi-crackpot. But he was still Tolstoy, and his later writings were still brilliant. Moreover, he inspired a worldwide movement, deeply influencing Gandhi among many others. He emerged as the Russian government’s most potent critic — the one the czar didn’t dare imprison.

What had changed, though, was his ability to see. Now a crusader instead of an observer, he was absurd as often as he was brilliant. He went slumming with the peasantry, making everybody feel uncomfortable. He’d try to mow the grass (badly), make shoes (worse), and then he’d return to his mansion for dinner. He was the first trust-fund hippie.

He seemed to lose perspective about himself: “I alone understand the doctrine of Jesus.”

A

There were many consistencies running through Tolstoy’s life, but there were also two phases: first, the novelist; then, the crusader. And each of these activities called forth its own way of seeing.

As a novelist, Tolstoy was an unsurpassed observer. But he found that life unfulfilling. As he set out to improve the world, his ability to perceive it deteriorated. Instead of conforming his ideas to the particularities of existence, he conformed his perception of reality to his vision for the world. He preached universal love but seemed oblivious to the violence he was doing to his family.

In middle age, it was as a novelist that Tolstoy achieved his most lasting influence. After all, description is prescription. If you can get people to see the world as you do, you have unwittingly framed every subsequent choice.

But being public spirited, he also wanted to heal the world directly. Tolstoy devoted himself to activism and spiritual improvement — and paid the mental price. After all, most historical leaders write pallid memoirs not because they are hiding the truth but because they’ve been engaged in an activity that makes it impossible for them to see it clearly. Activism is admirable, necessary and selfundermining — the more passionate, the more self-blinding.

FRIEDMAN money than the other (all from businesses they are supposed to be regulating) so he could tell bigger lies on TV more often about the other guy before the other guy could do it to him. This leaves us relieved. It means America will do nothing serious to fix its structural problems: a ballooning deficit, declining educational performance, crumbling infrastructure and diminished immigration of new talent.

The ambassador recently took what the Americans call a fast train — the Acela — from Washington to New York City. Our bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin would have made the trip in 90 minutes. His took three hours — and it was on time! Along the way the ambassador used his cell phone to call his embassy office, and in one hour he experienced 12 dropped calls — again, we are not making this up. We have a joke in the embassy: “When someone calls you from China today it sounds like they are next door. And when someone calls you from next door in America, it sounds like they are calling from China!” Those of us who worked in China’s embassy in Zambia often note that Africa’s cell phone service was better than America’s.

But the Americans are oblivious. They travel abroad so rarely that they don’t see how far they are falling behind.

Which is why we at the embassy find it funny that Americans are now fighting over how “exceptional” they are. Once again, we are not making this up. On the front page of The Washington Post

Where women are treated like slaves mericans tend to associate “modern slavery” with illiterate girls in India or Cambodia. Yet there I was the other day, interviewing a college graduate who says she spent three years terrorized by pimps in a brothel in Midtown Manhattan.

Those who think that commercial sex in this country is invariably voluntary — and especially men who pay for sex — should listen to her story. The men buying her services all mistakenly assumed that she was working of her own volition, she says.

Yumi Li (a nickname) grew up in a Korean area of northeastern China. After university, she became an accountant, but, restless and ambitious, she yearned to go abroad.

So she accepted an offer from a female jobs agent to be smuggled to New York and take up a job using her accounting skills and paying $5,000 a month.

Yumi’s relatives had to sign documents pledging their homes as collateral if she did not pay back the $50,000 smugglers’ fee from her earnings.

Yumi set off for America with a fake South Korean passport. On arrival in New York, however, Yumi was ordered to work in a brothel.

“When they first mentioned prostitution, I thought I would go crazy,” Yumi told me. “I was thinking, ‘How can this happen to someone like me who is college-educated?’” Her voice trailed off, and she added: “I wanted to die.”

She says that the four men who ran the smuggling operation — all Chinese or South Koreans — took her into their office on 36th Street in Midtown Manhattan. They beat her with their fists (but did not hit her in the face, for that might damage her commercial value), gang-raped her and videotaped her naked in humiliating poses. For extra intimidation, they held a gun to her head.

If she continued to resist working as a prostitute, she says they told her, the video would be sent to her relatives and acquaintances back home. Relatives would be told that Yumi was a prostitute, and several of them would lose their homes as well.

Yumi caved. For the next three years, she says, she was one of about 20 Asian prostitutes working out of the office on 36th Street. Some of them worked voluntarily, she says, but others were forced and received no share in the money.

Yumi played her role robotically. On one occasion, Yumi was arrested for prostitution, and she says the police asked her if she had been trafficked.

“I said no,” she recalled. “I was really afraid that if I hinted that I was a victim, the gang would send the video to my family.”

Then one day Yumi’s closest friend in the brothel was handcuffed by a customer, abused and strangled almost to death. Yumi rescued her and took her to the hospital. She said that in her rage, she then confronted the pimps and threatened to go public.

At that point, the gang hurriedly moved offices and changed phone numbers. The pimps never mailed the video or claimed the homes in China; those may have been bluffs all along. As for Yumi and her friend, they found help with Restore NYC, a nonprofit that helps human trafficking victims in the city.

There’s no doubt that while some women come to the United States voluntarily to seek their fortunes in the sex trade, many others are coerced — and still others start out forced but eventually continue voluntarily. And it’s not just foreign women. The worst cases of forced prostitution, especially of children, often involve home-grown teenage runaways.

No one has a clear idea of the scale of the problem, and estimates vary hugely.

What is clear is that forced prostitution should be a national scandal. Just this month, authorities indicted 29 people, mostly people of Somali origin from the Minneapolis area, on charges of running a human trafficking ring that allegedly sold many girls into prostitution — one at the age of 12.

There are no silver bullets, but the critical step is for the police and prosecutors to focus more on customers (to reduce demand) and, above all, on pimps.

Nearly 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, it’s time to wipe out the remnants of slavery in this country.

What WikiChina leak would say about U.S. W THOMAS hile secrets from WikiLeaks were splashed all over the American newspapers, I couldn’t help but wonder: What if China had a WikiLeaker and we could see what its embassy in Washington was reporting about America? I suspect the cable would read like this: Washington Embassy, People’s Republic of China, to Ministry of Foreign Affairs Beijing, TOP SECRET/Subject: America today.

Things are going well here for China.

America remains a deeply politically polarized country, which is certainly helpful for our goal of overtaking the U.S. as the world’s most powerful economy and nation. But we’re particularly optimistic because the Americans are polarized over all the wrong things.

There is a willful self-destructiveness in the air here, as if America has all the time and money in the world for petty politics. They fight over things like — we are not making this up — how and where an airport security officer can touch them. They are fighting — we are happy to report — over the latest nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. It seems as if the Republicans are so interested in weakening President Barack Obama that they are going to scuttle a treaty that would have fostered closer U.S.Russian cooperation on issues like Iran.

And since anything that brings Russia and America closer could end up isolating us, we are grateful to Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona for putting our interests ahead of America’s and blocking Senate ratification of the treaty. The ambassador has invited Kyl and his wife for dinner at Mr. Kao’s Chinese restaurant to praise him for his steadfastness in protecting America’s (read: our) interests.

Americans just had what they call an “election.” Best we could tell it involved one congressman trying to raise more

Lee Sandlin is lyrical as well as informational in his book about the Mississippi, “Wicked River: The Mississippi When It Last Ran Wild.”

Reading the nation’s river: Chicago author dips pen into Mississippi “Wicked River: The Mississippi When It Last Ran Wild”

by Lee Sandlin (Pantheon, 304 pgs., $26.95)

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

Lee Sandlin may tell you that he approached the Mississippi River just as he has any other subject in his long career as a Chicago-based reporter and essayist. He may tell you that he waded in with his eyes wide open, equipped with the requisite objectivity and scrupulous determination to be fair and thorough — and all the rest of those boring, upright journalistic virtues.

Don’t believe him. When it comes to writing about the river, Sandlin is fatally, deliriously, deliciously compromised.

Clearly, he loves it. He loves stories about it. And his love comes pouring off the pages of “Wicked River: The Mississippi When It Last Ran Wild” (Pantheon), Sandlin’s first book, in a vivid torrent of facts and passions, in an inspired agitation of water and words.

Even when he’s describing the icky contents of today’s Mississippi, Sandlin is lyrical as well as informational: “Its waters are notoriously foul. In the nineteenth century, the Mississippi was well known for its murkiness and filth, but today it swirls with all the effluvia of the modern age.

There’s the storm runoff, thick with the glistening sheen of automotive waste.

“The drainage from the enormous mechanized farms of the heartland, and from millions of suburban lawns, is rich with pesticides and fertilizers like atrazine, alachlor, cyanazine, and metolachlor. A ceaseless drizzle comes from the chemical plants along the riverbanks that manufacture neoprene, polychloroprene, and an assortment of other refrigerants and performance elastomers. ...” Any writer who can wring that kind of poetry out of mere pollution is the perfect man to capture the nation’s No.1 river, to follow it through its lengthy and complicated history in the 1800s, when it was filled with steamboats, thieves, rascals, hooligans, pets, poets, soldiers and alliga-tors — and that’s just a partial census.

nized around people and their fates, not wars and dates and treaty signings. It artfully separates reality from fables, but it recognizes that fables have a story to tell, too, that our tall tales and our songs and our exaggerations and our mythologies can be as revelatory as topographical maps and temperature charts.

Sandlin corrects several misconceptions about the river as it existed in the 19th century.

For one thing, it was constantly poked at, fussed over and generally rearranged by engineers, so that by the early 20th century, there was nothing “natural” about its course. For another, the popular image of the Mississippi that sprang from the books of Mark Twain referred to conditions that were already obsolete

when Twain wrote his stories.

“His Mississippi books are works of memory, even of archaeology,” Sandlin notes.

Twain was creating “a nostalgic daydream,” a place where “every problem fell away down the next turning of the river bend, the perfectly serene, sunflecked image of the American Eden.”

The real river, according to Sandlin, was a dirty, dangerous mess. “The river coarsened people,” he said in an interview from his home in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood, where he spent a year researching and another year and a half writing “Wicked River.”

“I wanted the book to feel like you were actually on the river,” Sandlin added.

“The stories were coming up and then passing away. Each chapter would be like going down a river bend.”

Sandlin, 54, was born in Wildwood, Ill., and grew up in Evanston, Winnetka and Wilmette.

His work was published for many years in the Chicago Reader. When it came time to pick a topic for a book, he said, the Mississippi seemed like a natural.

“I was haunted by the thought that it was close by,” he writes in “Wicked River,” “running deep within the landscape, past the last franchise strip and the last strand of freeway.”

In this lush, exuberant, actionpacked and history-drenched book, Sandlin has brought the river back home again.

In one of his final essays before dying in August of Lou Gehrig’s disease, the brilliant and controversial Tony Judt tried to catalog the apparent contradictions in who he was and what he believed.

“An English-born student of European history teaching in the U.S.” A champion of social democracy “associated with whatever remains of the left,” but also an unapologetic elitist, viewed by many of his academic colleagues as “a reactionary dinosaur,” who regarded “effort as a poor substitute for achievement.”

A Jew who spent three summers working on Israeli kibbutzim and voluntarily served on the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War, before rejecting Israel and becoming “somewhat uncomfortable with much that passes for ‘Jewishness’ in contemporary America.”

And, one might add, a man who spent much of the last two years of his life unable to move or even speak — and yet somehow conceived and published two more books.

The second of those books, “The Memory Chalet,” is a memoir comprising 25 short pieces that Judt composed in his

head during sleepless nights.

Lying on his back and unable to move, he constructed a “memory chalet,” using the layout of a small Swiss hotel he had visited as a child.

Many of the essays begin simply before moving inductively toward broadly stated conclusions that are all the more persuasive because of how firmly they’re grounded in the particular.

In “Joe,” for example, Judt fondly recalls the stern taskmaster who taught him German in high school as “the best teacher I ever had,” before tackling a theme running through a number of these essays: In both Britain and America, the educational system has grown soft, done in by a politically correct insistence on enabling and coddling students rather than imposing standards and rewarding merit.

In “Words,” Judt criticizes the “uncritical approbation of mere ‘self-expression’” in the classroom, blaming his baby boomer generation’s unreflective battle cry of “do your own thing” for current teachers’ misguided belief that a “retreat from formal criticism” of one’s students could somehow “favor independent thought.”

More than a memoir, it’s a bracing spiritual autobiography of a man whose lofty and oldfashioned goal was to think for himself — and push each of us to do the same.

In her second book, ‘Skippy Dies’: Irish hormones rage in this tragicomic tale Palin comes off as a savvy politico “Skippy Dies”

by Paul Murray (Faber, 672 pgs., $28)

By Jeffrey Burke Bloomberg News

“America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag”

by Sarah Palin (Harper, 276 pgs., $25.99)

Sarah Palin signs a copy of her book “America

by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag” at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, Ky., on Wednesday.

By Tim Rutten Los Angeles Times

There really is nothing quite like a gifted politician on the make, but even in such fast company, Sarah Palin really has to rank as a force of nature.

Along with her ally-of-convenience, the Fox News personality Glenn Beck — certainly the most gifted electronic demagogue since Father Coughlin in the 1930s — she has adroitly used the full panoply of contemporary media to position herself as a leader of the populist surge reshaping Republican politics.

Like Beck, Palin is a multi-platforming powerhouse, a presence on cable news, reality television, on social media — Facebook and Twitter — and, more traditionally, in book publishing.

“America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag” is Palin’s second book in as many years and more overtly political than last year’s autobiographical “Going Rogue.” If it isn’t an outright declaration of her intention to seek the GOP’s 2012 presidential nomination, it’s a clear warning to the other prospective candidates that they’ll have to reckon with her and those she counts as her Americans on their way to the party’s endorsement.

Conservative laundry list Two interesting things stand out in this latest manifesto (and, make no mistake, that’s what it is): One is that Palin clearly has widened her circle of advisers, at least when it comes to her uncredited ghost writers, who have stitched a veritable laundry list of current conservative preoccupations into “America by Heart,” along with extended quotations from an array of figures, including Margaret Thatcher, James Q. Wilson, poet Karl Shapiro and all the requisite Founders and Framers. The other — and perhaps most instructive — thing to be gleaned from this book is just how shrewd a politician Palin is. Professional political consultants sometimes like to talk about a candidate’s “RLC quotient.” The acronym stands for Rat-Like Cunning — and it’s meant to be a compliment indicating not only a deep instinctual shrewdness but also a willingness to fight ruthlessly when forced.

Off the evidence in “America

by Heart,” Palin’s RLC quotient is off the charts.

Thus, not unexpectedly, this

James Crisp The Associated Press

book begins with the former Alaska governor speaking to a tea party rally in — where else?

— Boston. These, she assures us repeatedly, are the real Americans and not the angry “hillbillies” allegedly portrayed by the mainstream media. The media, by the way, are one of the recurring demons in this media-savvy book, along with progressives, liberals, academics and all sorts of look-down-their-noses-at-therest-of-us “elites.” Like Beck, though, Palin is wonderfully adept at escaping any responsibility for what’s essentially a Manichaean view of our society — one that divides real, hardworking, family-loving, religious Americans from those who ... well, aren’t those things.

Thus, she doesn’t bat a professionally mascaraed eyelash while decrying the “shameful tendency on the left not simply to declare their opponents wrong, but to declare them evil. Conservatives and liberals don’t have honest policy disagreements, this strategy says, conservatives are just bad people.”

Right.

Touchstones One of the quirky oddities of this volume is the frequent citation of relatively obscure Chicago School economists, marginal conservative historians and obscure political sources along with television shows and lots of films.

Thus, two of Palin’s touchstones

are Calvin Coolidge and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”

According to Palin, “ordinary Americans are tired of (President) Obama’s apology tour and of hearing about what a weak country America is from the left-wing and journalists. That’s why America yearns for ... leaders who are not embarrassed by America, who see our country’s flaws but also its greatness; leaders who are proud to be Americans, and are proud of her every day, not just when their chosen ones are winning elections.” The latter, of course, is a not-very-subtle put-down of Michelle Obama.

Like Beck, Palin is bent on educating her readers on the “real” American history that’s being kept from them. Thus, during one of her discussions of Coolidge’s suppressed legacy, the author muses, “is it just a coincidence that one of the presidents who most appreciated our founding principles is one of the least celebrated by the academic elite?”

Actually, it’s because he was a worse-than-mediocre president, but why argue?

When Palin resigned as governor of Alaska, a number of experienced pundits firmly opined that she’d committed political suicide. They didn’t reckon on her shrewd political instincts, which were telling her — correctly, as it turns out — how much easier it would be to seek the presidency as the unaccountable symbol of a populist upwelling than it would be from the statehouse.

As Ireland tries to survive the implosion of its economic bubble, one voice foretold the inevitable almost 10 years ago: “The whole thing’ll come crashing down, and all anyone’ll have done is eaten a lot of expensive cheese.”

The line appears in “An Evening of Long Goodbyes” (2003), Irishman Paul Murray’s comic first novel. Ranging from P.G. Wodehouse meringue to the darker side of Evelyn Waugh, the book relates an Irish country gentleman’s encounters with harsh reality as he loses wine cellar, home and the oblivious fog that has shielded him from grim family secrets.

For his second novel, Murray has gone from impressive to world-class. “Skippy Dies” (Faber, $28) concerns a few months in the life of a Catholic boys high school in Dublin called Seabrook College. There’s sex and drugs and high jinks, wimps, bullies, queen bees and brains, jaded teachers, a questionable coach and an administrator so perfectly full of himself that I was reminded of Stephen Dedalus’s bloviating Mr. Deasy in “Ulysses.”

This is far from the musical TV series “Glee,” though. Characters that verge on cliché prove unpredictable. A femme fatale reveals the stony investment adviser within. The punk selling diet pills isn’t the worst pusher in school.

Even when a hackneyed turn threatens — the wimp charms the prettiest girl and then outpunches the bully — Murray’s writing galvanizes what might have been a limp moment. And

Cormac Scully / Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Irish author Paul Murray’s second novel is “Skippy Dies.” the inescapable cruelty of young people, as perpetrators or victims, is a constant here.

The book begins with the death of the wimp, Skippy, during a doughnut-eating contest with his overweight genius roommate, Ruprecht. While Skippy has had his moment with the Queen Bee, he has been generally afflicted, coping with his mother’s illness, his physical shortcomings, a recent introduction to painkillers and a crucial swim meet.

We learn most of this in the opening 460 pages, which bring us back to that fatal moment in the doughnut shop, making the bulk of the novel a flashback, or history lesson.

History is everywhere, from the Big Bang and string theory that come up in Ruprecht’s science projects to the memory shared by two teachers of a bungee jump gone awry when they were Seabrook students. Acting Principal Greg “The Automator” Costigan, who wants to destroy some of the school’s history by razing an old building, usurps the place of the priests who have run the academy. Of course, the

students are all forming personal histories they will carry with them for years.

The history teacher, who lives under the cloud of youthful cowardice and a disastrous stint in finance that drove him to academia, learns that the combat role of Irishmen in World War I was largely expunged from history books after Ireland rebelled against its British masters.

Through the old soldier’s uniform, which belonged to one of Skippy’s relatives who fought in the war, the nation’s past and the family history of one of their own are brought home to the students.

Unbeknownst to them, the Automator’s cover-up will perform a similar erasure to keep the cause of Skippy’s death from affecting enrollment.

The thematic richness of the writing is impressive, yet the book is also just plain fun and compulsively readable. Murray has a terrific ear for student talk, where diffidence, hormones and burgeoning intelligence all compete. The golden-tongued student cynic vies with the randy Italian for sharpest quip.

The author also takes traditional occasions for a mad ride. A Halloween dance turns into a bacchanalia as the chaperones drift off for a quickie. An anniversary concert succumbs to the electronic screechings of Ruprecht’s latest experiment.

“History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake,” said Dedalus famously in the aforementioned scene from “Ulysses.”

So might many of the characters inhabiting Murray’s dream of a book.

A police procedural full of surprising twists

Astronomers Continued from F1 What killed him? At the time of Brahe’s death, in 1601, the blame fell on his failure to relieve himself while drinking profusely at the banquet, supposedly injuring his bladder and making him unable to urinate.

(Danes still sometimes invoke Brahe when they explain their need to excuse themselves during a meal.) Later medical experts discounted that and said some kind of kidney problem was more likely.

But then, in the 1990s, some hairs from Brahe were separately analyzed. Researchers reported elevated levels of mercury, including one brief high dose that was absorbed within 10 minutes during the final 24 hours of his life.

Those findings inspired “Heavenly Intrigue: Johannes Kepler, Tycho Brahe, and the Murder Behind One of History’s Greatest Scientific Discoveries,” a 2004 book by a pair of married journalists, Joshua Gilder and Anne-Lee Gilder. They argue that the evidence from the hairs points to two incidents of mercury poisoning, one at the time of the banquet and the other just before death, and that Kepler is the prime suspect because he had the means, the motive and the opportunity.

As an assistant living at Brahe’s home, Kepler had access to toxic mercury compounds in Brahe’s alchemical lab and could have poisoned him at the time of the banquet, the Gilders write. When Brahe began to recover 10 days later, they reason, Kepler could have administered a second dose because he was one of the few people at the home who saw Brahe the evening before his death.

‘Uncontrollable spirit’ A devoutly religious scholar may not sound like a good candidate for murderer, but the Gilders argue that Kepler was an unhappy, temperamental zealot. In an astrological selfanalysis, he described his “eagerness for trickery” and his plots against his “enemies,” and said he was under the influence of Mars’ “rage-provoking force.” In his furious arguments with Brahe, he called himself an “uncontrollable spirit” and once told a friend that he felt like attacking Brahe with a sword.

Kepler resented Brahe’s higher status and, above all, his refusal to allow access to the full log of observations, including the records of Mars’ movements that Kepler considered essential to demonstrate the validity of his own model of the universe.

Kepler tried several schemes to see Brahe’s data — to sneakily “wrest his riches away,” as Kepler put it — but Brahe resisted and forced Kepler to keep working on calculations aimed at supporting the Tychonic cosmology.

“Red Jade”

Astronomer Tycho Brahe hoped to prove his theory that all the planets except Earth revolved around the sun, which in turn revolved around the Earth.

“Kepler’s ambition was to prove his vision of the divine architecture of God’s universe,” Joshua Gilder says in an interview. “Every time he feels Tycho is getting in the way, he blows up at him. Is it plausible that Kepler would kill for a vision?

I look around the world and see it happening all the time. Kepler had felt himself despised and outcast his whole life. This would make him famous.”

The Gilders’ theory doesn’t sound so plausible to Owen Gingerich, an expert on Kepler who is an emeritus professor of astronomy at Harvard. “The single biggest problem with the theory,” Gingerich says, “is that at this point Tycho was very actively lobbying with the Emperor Rudolf to appoint Kepler the imperial mathematician.

The appointment was in the final stages of the negotiation. It would have been very dangerous for Kepler to bump off his chief sponsor for the job.”

Nonetheless, things ultimately worked out quite nicely for Kepler, because after Brahe’s death he still got the job — and the data. Even though Brahe bequeathed the observatory’s logs to his family, Kepler grabbed them first and held on to the crucial Mars records until he and the heirs and the emperor worked out an arrangement allowing him to finish the project of publishing the observations.

Kepler never managed to prove his divine-architecture model, but he made his name anyway, thanks to the records and his own hunch that the Sun exerted some kind of pull on the planets. Using Brahe’s data, he formulated his famous three laws of planetary motion and discovered that the planets traveled around the Sun in elliptical, not circular, orbits. If he

did commit a crime, it certainly paid.

Royal connection The other murder suspect is Eric Brahe, a Swedish relative of Tycho’s who was staying at his home. Eric attended the fateful banquet, and his diary contains incriminating entries alluding to his role in the poisoning, says Peter Andersen, a professor of literature at the University of Strasbourg in France. He argues that Eric was hard up for money and was hired for the hit by the new Danish king, Christian IV. Andersen has several hypotheses explaining the king’s animus. One is that a royal science adviser was a Copernican feuding against Tycho Brahe. A more cinematic — and Oedipal — hypothesis is that Brahe may have been secretly consorting with Christian’s mother, Queen Sophie, and may have been Christian’s father. Andersen argues that the rumors about Brahe’s royal affair contributed to Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

Andersen is requesting that the current Danish royal family allow Christian’s body to be exhumed so that his DNA can be compared with Brahe’s, but don’t expect any immediate results. It took Jens Vellev, the

Danish archaeologist leading the project, nearly a decade to get permission to exhume Brahe’s body.

Vellev suspects that if Brahe was poisoned by mercury, it was from an accidental ingestion in his laboratory or from a medicine administered to treat his urinary problems. That suspicion is shared by Lawrence Principe, a historian of science at Johns Hopkins University who is an expert in alchemy. He says it’s rash to accuse anyone of murder without direct evidence — and maybe it is, to academics and prosecutors.

But, of course, Hollywood producers would have no qualms about accusing both men (maybe Eric gives the first dose at the banquet, and then Kepler delivers the second one). The producers’ chief concern, when they pitched the project, would be dealing with the response from a typical studio executive: “Look, you’ve got some interesting elements to work with here. I love the royal sex and the poison and the duel — could we call him Goldnose? The clairvoyant jester is a nice device.

And I totally get the Tycho-Kepler conflict — high-living nobleman versus tormented commoner. But ... do they have to be astronomers?”

There are many Chinatowns in the United States and abroad, as Henry Chang shows in his third gritty police procedural featuring NYPD detective Jack Yu. And each Chinatown is connected to the others by an invisible communication known only to Asians.

Jack both runs up against and uses this Asian chainmail of rumors, informants and criminal gangs as he hunts for Mona, the mistress of Uncle Four, a murdered gang leader. She has made off with her lover’s horde of gold coins and jade treasures.

In “Red Jade,” Jack has been trying to leave his Chinatown beat, even moving to Brooklyn after the death of his father. But his former commander needs him when a citizens’ group wants Jack to look into the murder-suicide of a Chinese-American couple. There seems little doubt that an insecure, jealous husband killed his wife and then himself. The case leads Jack to complete his ongoing investigation into the murder of Uncle Four.

But first he has to find the gangster’s girlfriend before the criminal’s former cohorts find her.

The chase takes Jack from New York to Seattle’s

Chinatown, where the streets are being controlled by a gang in Hong Kong. Both Mona and Jack know the tricks of disguising one’s looks and hiding in plain sight.

Chang depicts the intricacies of life in Chinatowns where ancient customs crash against the contemporary world.

But Chang doesn’t just show these colorful neighborhoods.

He delves into the reality of the Chinatowns, portraying longtime residents dismayed at the change going around them, gangsters trying to maintain their control and tight-knit neighbors united in their beliefs, customs and desire to keep crime from ebbing further. Chang captures the sights, sounds and smells of the various Chinatowns, showing the common threads and uniqueness of each as well as their histories. Chang also depicts how the cultures of various Asian countries make the Chinatowns diverse areas.

“Red Jade” also delves into the racism that Asian cops often encounter both among their fellow officers and on the streets of Chinatown. But even cynical Jack can be surprised when a seemingly racist cop is anything but.

“Red Jade” is a gripping police procedural full of surprising twists.

Q&A

JOHN STEARNS

Momentum is no mirage

T

hey’re adding employees in a tough economy, attracting investors and showing clear potential to grow into important economic forces in Bend — specifically providing good-paying jobs for an area that desperately needs them. They’re companies in software development, information technology, biosciences, green energy and other socalled knowledge industries.

There’s momentum in this sector, which I’ll broadly define as tech, that players in and around the field say is real, sustainable and promising. In a report Friday, Economic Development for Central Oregon’s executive director, Roger Lee, noted 12 Central Oregon companies that have at least doubled (or are planning to do so) their employment, the lion’s share of them in tech.

One company on the list, Bend regulatory software developer GL Solutions, plans to double its work force to 82 by March for a major new government contract. Others on the list included Manzama, G5 Search Marketing, PV Powered, Agere Pharmaceuticals and MediSISS. One only needs to look at Bend Research to see the impact such a company can have on the economy — directly and through the myriad spinoffs from it since its founding in 1975. The research and development firm, which ended an exclusive relationship with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer two years ago, reinvented its model and began marketing its services to the entire industry. Today it has 59 clients. It’s added 50 people in the past eight months and is now at 185, a joint news release from the company and EDCO said.

More than a dozen ventures, founded by former Bend Research employees or based on the company’s technologies, have sprung up in Bend, the release said.

While it’s hard to rival Bend Research for its impact, the number of companies showing promise here of becoming something big and potentially spawning similar spinoffs is noteworthy. Area leaders should continue to do all they can to build on these companies’ momentum and attract new companies and talent.

That should include building the applied research center proposed by Bend City Councilor Jim Clinton.

It would be a key piece in what Dan Hobin, co-founder and CEO of G5, called a technology “ecosystem� forming here that includes companies like his, recipient of a $15 million investment this year. The ecosystem also includes groups, workplaces and events like the Tech Alliance, TechSpaceBend and the Bend Venture Conference, and the region’s superior broadband capability. Significant, too, are the many knowledge workers who have relocated here for the lifestyle. “I think we have the potential to have a tech economy or a tech ecosystem take off,� Hobin said. “There’s amazing talent here,� said Hobin, whose company has grown from two people in 2005 to 97 today — 90 percent of them hired locally. He also hopes to hire a senior vice president of sales and marketing and chief operating officer locally.

Reflecting on the talent here, Hobin referred to “geographic arbitrage,� where despite making less than in major markets, people are wealthier because homes are cheaper, lifestyles better, commutes shorter and time left for family greater.

Tech is a good growth area for Bend, with clean jobs, said John Giobbi, founder and CEO of Proxense, a company with 25 employees, five in Bend. His company, a developer of proximity-based technologies and products, has raised about $6 million since last year, mostly from angel investors. Giobbi anticipates his local workers could double or triple in the coming year. He also plans to establish a headquarters office here. “The company itself has pretty serious potential,� he said. “We love Bend. We moved here (in 2001) to start this company, and I definitely intend to keep it here.�

Dr. Edward Boyle, CEO of Clear Catheter Systems in Bend, this fall secured $1.2 million in equity financing from the Oregon Angel Fund and other investors, and is building up the company’s internal sales and distribution network. Assuming the company meets business milestones, he’d like to establish a local headquarters, jobs and infrastructure in Bend. “We just have to take it one step at a time, and right now things are going well,� he said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue to build this business in Bend, Oregon.�

Bend should be grateful for these companies and try to spawn more like them.

Tourism is one bright spot in Central Oregon’s gloomy economy, which continues to struggle on the housing and labor fronts

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Central Oregon’s economy continued a downward trend during the third quarter, erasing much of the upswing recorded at the end of 2009 and first quarter of 2010, according to Tim Duy, a University of Oregon economist and author of the Central Oregon Business Index. “It was in most ways a relatively weak third-quarter report,� Duy said.

The index fell from 103.8 in the second quarter to 102.4 in the third quarter.

The third-quarter numbers declined 3.7 points from the first quarter of this year and 2.1 points below the third quarter of 2009. “Overall, the COBI continues to suggest the regional economy is generally improving, albeit at an uneven pace largely attributable to the now-expired tax credits that temporarily boosted housing activity,� Duy said.

ing the past two consecutive quarters, with home sales down and days on the market up during the third quarter, Duy said.

In addition, “labor market data was generally softer during the quarter.

Initial unemployment claims reversed some of their early improvement and rose to the highest level since the end of 2009,� Duy said in his report.

Do recovery stats mean anything?

It’s his job to find out

While the region’s initial unemployment claims are well below the peaks of the recession in 2008 and early 2009, Duy said the rise in claims filed during the third quarter points to ongoing stresses in the labor market.

A third-quarter decline of 800 people reported in nonfarm payroll shows firms aren’t seeing sufficient demand to add employees, Duy said. “The depressing thing is, we are a year into the recovery and we are nowhere near the pre-recession levels of demand or employment,� Duy said.

The national recession officially ended in June 2009. “For people who were employed in construction, lumber and RV industries that dried up, there has been insufficient rebound to bring those jobs back,� he said. “Some of those people appear to be severely affected by this recession, and that may be long-term, unless they are willing to change professions or relocate.�

WASHINGTON — The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, but despite five consecutive quarters of economic growth since then, many Americans simply don’t see or feel it.

That’s why the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a division of the U.S. Commerce Department that compiles official economic growth figures, is seeking to upgrade how it measures income, business investment and the role of small business in the economy.

Have fishing rods, will travel Bend inventor expands a line of high-quality rod carriers

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Brad Evans, president of RodMounts, with a Sumo fishing-rod carrier for car exteriors. “I used to use ski racks to transport my rods,â€? he said, “but ‌ I realized that the fishing stores could sell a rod rack for a car.â€? A few years ago, the Bend entrepreneur sought to perfect his company’s designs and took several trips to China to learn better ways to manufacture his products.

Brad Evans uses high-tech equipment to create his products, but that doesn’t make his products high-tech.

In the late 1990s — the early days of his company, RodMounts — Evans, 51, used to sit in his Bend garage and manufacture contraptions that could keep fishing rods secure and out of the way inside cars.

These days, though, slick threedimensional printers produce prototypes of the products he dreams up, and quick-firing machines on the oth-

er side of the world make quick work of mass production.

Then and now, his products hold fishing rods. He does not write code for social-networking applications, find flaws in software or do any other computer-heavy work. He is a tactile man. He likes keeping his part of the business low-tech.

But he still is a card-carrying member of a respected and valued group in Central Oregon: that of visionary entrepreneurs. “I’m a conceptualizer,� Evans said.

NEWS OF RECORD DEEDS Deschutes County

David Woo / Dallas Morning News

At Texas Land & Cattle Steak House, the two-for-$25 deal was supposed to last for just February and March, but the discount remains available today, advertised on tabletop signs. It’s “a deal we can live with,” says Howard Terry, vice president of marketing for the casual dining chain.

Deal-hungry public stymies businesses

By Karen Robinson-Jacobs The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — At Texas Land & Cattle Steak House, the plan was simple: During the slack months of February and March, the chain would field a limited-time offer — two entrees and a shared appetizer for $25.

Nine months later, the deal is still on the table. And it’ll most likely be there next year, because consumers aren’t anxious to let go. “Ten to 15 percent of our total sales mix is people that are buying two for $25,” said Howard Terry, vice president of marketing for the casual dining chain owned by Dallas-based Lone Star Funds. “It was so popular we couldn’t take it away.”

With margins strained by months of deep discounts, consumer-centric businesses are looking to wean the public off the addicting deals that kept them coming during the recession.

They concede it won’t be easy — or quick.

Some areas may take longer to recover than the five years needed after Sept. 11, 2001, experts said.

The key challenge, they said, is to get consumers focused less on rock-bottom prices and more on value.

“Consumers are going to be more conscious of how they spend their money, and they’re going to spend it where they think they get the most value,” said Wyman Roberts, president of Chili’s Grill & Bar, which has its own two-for$20 special.

“There are other ways to provide value than just price,” he said.

“And that’s what we’re focused on.

At the same time, we understand it’s tough out there. We’ve still got to be competitive with pricing.”

promotional mix flowed through” to the bottom line.

“It’s (finding) that balance of what’s the right thing for the guest … and what’s the right thing from a business perspective,” he said.

During the downturn, the balance tipped decidedly in favor of consumers who retreated to their equity-starved homes, only coming out for bargain-basement prices.

“We’ve never seen a traffic decline of this magnitude, for this prolonged period of time, in all of the years of tracking,” said Bonnie Riggs, an analyst with NPD Group, a research firm that has studied the restaurant industry since 1976.

Per-capita restaurant visits fell 6 percent between the year that ended August 2008 and the year that ended August 2010, she said. “We saw declines on top of declines.”

Deals kept the industry from suffering steeper traffic declines, Riggs said. “Just about everyone did it. They had to.”

Fewer deals Among hotels, some of the deepest discounts were practically invisible to most consumers — done through “opaque sites” such as Priceline.com. Even the buyer doesn’t know which hotel is offering the discount until the room is paid for.

As hoteliers try to boost rates that fell 9 percent last year, fewer of those deals now exist, said Tim Sullivan, president of the North

Texas Hotel Association.

“The big difference is the availability of the super-low discounts,” said Sullivan, contrasting late 2009, which often saw discounts of 25 percent, with today’s typical 15 percent price break. “I think the market is stabilizing.”

Hoteliers feel better about pulling back discounts as business travel picks back up and occupancy rates improve.

To pare back discounts, hoteliers needed buy-in from some of the industry’s most important constituents — meeting and corporate travel planners. Business and group travel accounts for more than 80 percent of sales in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to PKF Consulting, which tracks the hotel industry.

“The people that are managing the travel programs for corporations completely understand the situation that we are all in right now,” said Sullivan, a Marriott vice president. “It’s a hard conversation, but it’s a good conversation.”

Not every discount burned the bottom line.

Terry said the Texas Land & Cattle offer is “a deal we can live with.”

“We wouldn’t want to discount it if we were losing money,” he said.

Addicted to discounts During the protracted downturn, discounting became a mainstay for nearly every industry that depends on consumer dollars.

Retailers continue to cut prices as they ramp up for the post-recession holiday season.

But some in the hospitality sector, fearful of further margin erosion, have said enough is enough.

In an analysts’ conference call this month, the chief executive of Grand Prairie, Texas-based Six Flags Entertainment Corp. likened deep discounting to “a drug” and said, “We are carefully reducing our dependence on high discounts to drive attendance.”

He said the company will focus on adding rides and attractions to draw crowds.

At a recent hotel industry conference, Thomas Corcoran Jr., chairman of real estate trust FelCor Lodging Trust Inc., allowed that consumers love discounts.

“The problem is,” he said, “the hotel has got to be able to make money.”

At the annual meeting this month of Brinker International Inc., the parent of Chili’s, Roberts said Chili’s saw a drop in traffic this summer when it replaced a sweeter deal — a shared appetizer, two entrees and a shared dessert for $20 — with the current offer, which drops dessert.

“But we also saw a significant improvement in earnings,” he said. “The margins that we were able to realize based on a different

C OV ER S T ORY Economic indicators of the Central Oregon Business Index The Central Oregon Business Index looks at nine variables that tend to be cyclical in nature. They reflect shifting patterns of the economy and are weighted to account for typical volatility that occurs throughout the year. After seasonal effects are taken out, the variables tend to show the direction of the economy and give the most extensive view of the economy that is available, says Timothy Duy, adjunct professor of economics for the University of Oregon and author of the Central Oregon Business Index. All figures are monthly averages for the quarter and are seasonally adjusted and estimated.

Index Continued from G1 Chris Clouart, managing director at Bethlehem Inn homeless shelter in Bend, said the current economic downturn has left more people homeless in the Bend area, including more families and individuals in their 40s and 50s who were steadily employed all of their lives until they were laid off from construction, manufacturing and retail jobs in the past two years.

“They haven’t been able to find another job. They ran out of unemployment benefits and couldn’t pay their rent, so they wind up here at Bethlehem Inn (or at one of the other Bend-area shelters),” Clouart said. “As of Monday, we had 91 residents, family and single individuals.

That is the highest occupancy level we have ever experienced,” Clouart said.

“We have a lot of men, women and families on site who we have never seen before, and we are getting phone calls daily from

people who have run out of unemployment benefits and are on the verge of being thrown out of their apartments. These are people who have never been homeless before. They are afraid. They don’t know what (to) do. They ask what it’s like here. They ask if it is safe here,” Clouart said.

Duy said Central Oregon’s economy was probably too dependent on construction jobs created during the housing bubble that peaked from 2005 to 2007.

“A return to a pre-bubble housing market will probably not be enough to restore all those housing- and construction-related jobs,” Duy said.

He said what’s happening in the state and Central Oregon economies, to a large extent, reflects national and international policies and economic issues.

Essentially, Duy said, the national housing boom created enough jobs to offset losses in manufacturing jobs that occurred in Oregon and across the country, due largely to a combination of state and national regulatory and tax policies, as well as interna-

tional monetary policies.

Duy said those policies prompted many Oregon- and U.S.-based manufacturing companies to shut down domestic plants and sell to foreign companies or move their production and jobs overseas.

That shift didn’t fully hit home until the housing bubble burst in 2007.

“The housing bubble hid the collapse of the manufacturing sector,” Duy said.

No ‘double dip’ Nationwide, Duy said, consumer demand is growing again, but it’s not boosting domestic employment to the level typical after previous recessions because so many goods people buy are now manufactured overseas.

“We have the available labor force, we have the manufacturing capacity, but all of the demand has gone overseas,” he said.

On a more positive note, Duy said stronger national data reported in recent weeks “erases concerns of a double-dip recession nationally.”

“Solid national growth should provide additional support to the local economy,” he said.

In Oregon, the loss of manufacturing jobs in industries such as lumber, RV manufacturing, computer equipment and software, auto manufacturing and others occurred over a quarter-century, and reversing the trend could take many years, Duy said.

Given those factors, Duy said, it would be unwise to count on renewed in-migration to fuel another housing boom to pull Central Oregon or the state out of the economic slump.

“The great challenge in my mind is still how to move away from the in-migration and construction patterns of activity to work force patterns less dependent on those forces,” Duy said.

Tourism improves Aside from declines in housing and employment numbers, Duy said, the index’s third quarter shows positive gains in travel and tourism, which offset some of the losses in housing and other sec-

tors of the economy.

“Measures of travel- and tourism-related activity improved.

Estimated lodging revenues posted another solid increase, rising to the highest level since the third quarter of 2007,” Duy said in the COBI report. “National indicators suggest that this trend is widespread.”

Activity at Redmond Airport also rose, to the highest level since the second quarter of 2008, Duy said.

COBI is based on a variety of data, including Deschutes County initial unemployment claims, which increased from 2,659 to 2,887 from the second quarter to the third quarter; Bend area nonfarm payrolls, which declined from 60,000 to 59,200; the UO Index of Economic Indicators, which declined from 88.4 to 86.2; Bend lodging revenues, which increased from $1.313 million to $1.419 million; Redmond Airport activity, which increased from 38,911 to 40,470; Deschutes County building permits, which declined from 42 to 41; and Central Oregon housing data on num-

ber of houses sold, which declined from 287 to 264, and median days on the market, which increased from 107 to 115.

In past reports, the business index charted “help wanted” ads in The Bulletin, but Duy said that category was dropped because of a shift to Internet help-wanted advertising in the region.

In place of the help-wanted numbers, Duy switched to measuring Deschutes County solid waste, which he said might more accurately reflect changes in economic cycles with people and businesses buying more and disposing of more waste during good times, and buying and discarding less during hard times.

The solid waste numbers in the index report show the county’s solid waste at 8,914 tons for the third quarter, down from 8,962 tons in the second quarter, and well below the 10,291 tons recorded in the first quarter this year.

Q&A Continued from G1 Today, Landefeld says, government statisticians are working more closely to compare data, and the BEA is undertaking a number of steps that go beyond measuring the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of U.S. goods and services.

Q:

You’re asking for a budget of $113.2 million, a pretty healthy gain from the $97.2 million you got in the recently ended fiscal year. Why? The whole financial crisis has made people step back and say, ‘OK, why didn’t we see this coming?’ And the answer was ‌ unlike GDP, unemployment and these kinds of things, we didn’t have an integrated view of the financial and real sectors of the economy, which sort of put right in front of people’s faces the degree of leveraging (investing borrowed money), the misalignment of prices ‌ the underlying profits. It wasn’t a mystery; lots of people knew it. ‌ But I think we have some serious gaps in the data, so that they’re not reflecting what is happening in terms of the imbalances.

A:

Q:

Is that why you want to provide more information about net business investment instead of just gross business investment?

Gross investment is fine to measure the total amount businesses spend on things. But you’d like to know how much of that is just to replace the capital you’ve used up, and that’s why we have net investment figures that we like to feature.

A:

Q: A:

Does the picture look different if “replacement� spending is factored out?

It sort of suggests ‌ how we were not investing in future growth and, even worse, the very large sort of hidden losses of a downturn in the economy for future productive potential.

(A BEA chart shows that from 2000 to 2007, gross domestic investment by businesses grew by 1.5 percent, but when measured as net, domestic investment actually fell 1.9 percent over that period. Likewise, in 2008, gross domestic investment fell 5.5 percent but when measured as net, domestic investment fell by a stunning 21.9 percent.)

Q:

You’re also focusing more now on the distribution of

“The whole financial crisis has made people step back and say, ‘OK, why didn’t we see this coming?’ And the answer was ... unlike GDP, unemployment and these kinds of things, we ... have some serious gaps in the data, so that they’re not reflecting what is happening.�

A:

Q:

A more accurate reading of income tells what people are feeling in their wallets. But is this data broken down by region?

And how do you account for different costs of living?

Amazingly, you might think the U.S. government has this, but there is no regional price data right now that allows you to compare price levels. There are 38 urban areas in the United States where CPIs (consumer price indices) are calculated. But what they tell you is the inflation rate for Milwaukee versus New York City.

What you don’t know is what the difference is in the cost of living between those places, that you might be able to buy a much bigger house in the Midwest ‌ and you should have some price index to do that, and we don’t have that in the U.S.

A:

Q: A:

Why would this additional detail in statistical reporting matter?

This is the natural response to the financial crisis, which is sort of why people didn’t know there was a bubble in housing prices. They kind of knew but they didn’t know how big it was, and it was readily explained away by lots of ‘experts.’ I think we should, just like GDP, be featuring that kind of information, just like the unemployment rate, which is hard to explain away when it’s out there.

Q:

Part of this effort to better gauge income distribution gets at small businesses and how much they contribute to GDP, right?

Norway: Next investor haven?

By Josiane Kremer Bloomberg News

OSLO — Norway may become Europe’s next investor haven as the region’s fiscal turmoil raises the appeal of debt and currency markets in an economy with the smallest default-risk.

The Nordic country’s budget surplus equaled 10.3 percent of gross domestic product last year as oil revenue and Europe’s lowest unemployment rate protected state finances from the drain suffered by deficit-laden countries such as Greece and Ireland. Norwegian bonds with maturities of one to 10 years returned 6.197 percent this year, compared with 4.747 percent for similar German debt and 2.931 percent for Swiss bonds. “Because Norway is the best sovereign credit in the world, it’s such a safe haven,� said Par Magnusson, chief Nordic economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group, in an interview. The current “risk aversion is euro-centric,� he said.

Norway is the world’s seventhbiggest oil exporter and avoids the unpredictable swings that

other energy-rich nations suffer by investing oil revenue offshore through its sovereign wealth fund.

The $305 billion mainland economy will grow 3 percent in 2011, the central bank estimates, outpacing expansion rates in Switzerland and Germany. Norway’s budget surplus will stay close to 10 percent of GDP this year and next, according to the government.

Investor focus on fiscal health will benefit the whole Nordic region for “a long time,� according to Carl Hammer, chief currency strategist at SEB in Stockholm.

Both Norway and Sweden offer “strong fundamentals, better growth prospects than Europe,� he said in an interview.

Norway’s $505 billion wealth fund means the country’s default risk is lower than that of the United States or Germany. “Because of the oil wealth, the fiscal situation in Norway is as far away as you can get from the peripherals,� said Olav Chen, a senior portfolio manager who oversees about $6 billion at Storebrand Asset Management.

Gross domestic product measures the value of all goods and services produced within the United States.

A:

The Small Business Administration, it’s done lots of studies over time, and I am familiar with most of them. They’re quite crude, and really haven’t tried to probe the micro data much to really find out on a consistent basis. The data is there to do this.

Q:

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz thinks GDP is a weak measure of living standards. Is he right?

GDP is an aggregate that has a lot of purposes, and I think people aren’t aware that it’s just the tip of the iceberg for a lot of data that lies beneath it. ‌ It’s a rich set of data, but people tend to look at one number, GDP. One easy modification with GDP to bring it down to people’s level is that you divide by the population and you put it on a per-capita basis, and you begin to see what goes on there.

A:

Q: A:

What does that show us today?

Lately it’s been doing better, of course (because of five straight quarters of growth), and it illustrates a much slower growth in the economy than you see from just the aggregate GDP level, because it’s a measure of not just how the economy grew, but how fast it grew to support a large population and a large labor force.

Sumo rod carriers use suction cups to stick to the hood and windshield of a vehicle. veloped more products and added them to the RodMounts line.

In 2004 or 2005, he said, he came to believe he was not offering world-class products. He decided to perfect his designs by asking a mechanical or design engineer to make the drawings, which the prototypes are based on, and stepping up manufacturing. He took trips to China, spending about four months in the country in total, to establish more automated means of manufacturing the RodMounts.

And while in Shenzhen, China, he ended up meeting the woman who would become his current wife.

He closed his Bend warehouse, as it was costly, and opened one in Portland through the shipping company DHL. This year, he began selling Sumo rod carriers, which employ suction cups that can stick to the hood and windshield of a car. The model that stores are offering, for just less than $150, is a substantial improvement on the model he created, which is stored in a cardboard box in his garage.

Ryan Young, store manager at Bend’s Orvis location, said the Sumo carriers have been selling well. “They’re adjustable, and they fit on the tricky hoods we’ve got on new cars nowadays,� Young said.

The Sumo beats out carriers that use magnets to stick to hoods,

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the cavities within the cheek bones around the eyes and behind the nose. While most common in the winter, Sinusitis may last for months if inadequately treated. Sinusitis may affect the nose, eyes, or middle ear, and may be indicated by plentiful, thick; colored nasal drainage, post-nasal drip, cough, head/ear/nasal congestion and headache.

Types of Sinusitis Acute, which is often caused by a bacterial infection as a complication of a cold. Symptoms last less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis last eight weeks or longer. Recurrent sinusitis is three or more episodes of acute sinusitis per year.

Although colds are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, it is more likely that people with allergies will develop sinusitis. Allergies can trigger inflammation of the sinuses & nasal mucous linings, preventing the sinus cavities from clearing out bacteria, increasing your chances of developing sinusitis.

It is important to seek maximal medical treatment before resorting to surgery.

Patients you should see an allergist/immunologist if you: • Have chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis despite initial treatment by their primary care provider. • Have concurrent asthma and hayfever • Have other infections such as recurrent ear infections, bronchitis or pneumonia We accept Medicare and most insurances

In the future, Evans said, he not only wants to add more products he would call world-class to the RodMounts line. He is also interested in entering the consumerproducts market, which is substantially larger than the fly-fishing industry — and, perhaps, with items for the kitchen.

Market recap

Precious metals Metal

Continued from G1 Evans was born and raised in Eugene. As he got older, he helped his parents run retail businesses — a grocery store and specialty gift shops — in whatever ways he was needed, he said.

Later, in the 1980s, he got a sales job at a wholesale distribution company in Eugene.

Then he got a marketing position at a Eugene bicycle manufacturer. In that role, he saw the company owner bringing samples back from Taiwan. “That’s when the product-development bug really bit me,� he said.

In 1996, after leaving that company and getting a divorce, he moved to Bend. “I’d wanted to move to Central Oregon since I was a kid,� he said, citing interests in skiing and cycling, and a sickness of rain after living in the Willamette Valley for so long. His only respite from Eugene was his college years, when he majored in business at Oregon State University.

In Bend, he started a bathroom-finishing business, BathCrest of Central Oregon, to ensure work during the day, when he was not inventing things.

He got his first taste of inventing a product in another company he started, Sports Awning Co. He made several prototypes of portable awnings that mounted to car roofs and could come out for tailgating parties and other occasions. But when the time came to market the awnings, he saw there were no obvious paths from him to consumers.

So he disbanded the company.

In the meantime, another invention was under development in his garage shop: gadgets that would later become the basis for RodMounts, which he would register as a business in 1997. “I used to use ski racks to transport my rods,� he said, “but ski racks aren’t sold in fishing stores. They’re sold in ski stores. I realized that the fishing stores could sell a rod rack for a car.�

He began selling his early models in bigger outdoorgoods stores, such as Orvis and Cabela’s, after reaching out to hundreds of vendors around the country.

He closed the bathroomfinishing company early this decade so he could focus on advancing RodMounts. He de-

Over time, GDP per capita has been growing faster than, say, median (midpoint) income. So we want to capture a better notion of not just how personal income per capita is doing — which is sort of an average, which is influenced by incomes at the very top — but one which represents something like what most households experience. ‘Most’ being code for ‘median.’

Toyota Venza: Is it a car? An SUV? One thing it’s not is a clear success

The 2011 Toyota Venza compact crossover rides and handles like an (underpowered) midsize family sedan.

By Paul Brand Toyota via The Washington Post

Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Q:

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

LOS ANGELES — The Toyota Venza has been called many things, including wagon, crossover and compact sport-utility vehicle. But Toyota insists that it’s a car. So I’ll roll with that.

The problem is more a matter of market perception than it is one of manufacturer nomenclature.

The Venza is a vehicle of reinforced unitized construction built on the platform of the Toyota Camry, R E V I E W still the bestselling family sedan in the United States. That bolsters Toyota’s claim that the Venza is a car.

But the Venza’s ground clearance, the distance between its chassis and the ground, is 8.1 inches — nearly three inches higher than the Toyota Camry’s ground clearance of 5.5 inches.

That, in the minds of many, puts the Venza in SUV territory.

Still, the Venza is nobody’s SUV, truck or crossover utility vehicle. It rides and handles like a midsize family sedan. Equipped with optional all-wheel drive and the standard 2.7-liter in-line fourcylinder engine (182 horsepower, 182 foot-pounds of torque) — the arrangement sampled for this column — the Venza accelerates and handles in the manner of an underpowered midsize family sedan.

As illustrated by the huge number of four-cylinder vehicles on display here last month at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, four-cylinder engines are growing in favor among the world’s automobile manufacturers, all of which are being pressured by governments for more when

Flickering oil light in a ’78 Cougar I have a 1978 Mercury Cougar that sat in the garage for six years. I had all the fluids changed and it runs great, but when I stop at a red light, the oil light will flicker. If I put it in neutral or am driving, the light will stay off. Will this cause damage to the engine?

Most oil pressure warning lights will illuminate if engine oil pressure falls below about 4 to 6psi. If there’s no load on the engine — it’s just idling in gear — oil pressure that low probably won’t do any damage. But the low oil pressure at idle may well indicate damage or wear that has already occurred. Having sat for many years and then started without pre-oiling the lubrication system, additional wear to the engine main and rod bearings may have occurred.

There are two simple, inexpensive “fixes” that should eliminate the oil light coming on at idle. First, make sure you’re using motor oil that’s appropriate for that generation engine. I would suggest 10W-40 or even 20W-50 in warm weather. The thicker oil film, compared to a 5W oil, should generate slightly higher oil pressure.

And secondly, adjust the idle speed up about 50 to 100 rpm.

The slightly higher engine speed will drive the oil pump slightly faster and produce higher oil pressure.

A:

2011 Toyota Venza Prices: The 2011 Toyota Venza with all-wheel drive and four-cylinder engine starts at $27,925 with a dealer’s invoice price of $25,241. The V-6 model starts at $29,750 with a dealer invoice of $26,775.

Type: Front-engine, compact/mid-size car/wagon of reinforced unitized body construction.

Engine: Standard 2.7-liter, 16-valve in-line four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (182 horsepower, 182 foot-pounds of torque) linked to a six-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually.

A V-6 engine (268 horsepower, 246 foot-pounds torque) and six-speed transmission are available.

Mileage: Averaged 22 miles per gallon in combined city-highway driving. it comes to fuel economy and less when it comes to tailpipe emissions.

But not all four-cylinder engines are alike. Their performance can be enhanced or diminished by the kinds of vehicles in which they are installed and the ancillary equipment, such as all-wheel drive, to which they are attached.

The standard engine in the all-wheel-drive Venza is overwhelmed by the high-riding posture and factory weight (3,945

pounds before occupants and luggage) of that vehicle.

For that reason, this column recommends the Venza’s optional 3.5-liter V-6 (268 horsepower, 246 foot-pounds of torque). There is a marginal fuel penalty for choosing the V-6 engine — a combined city-highway rating of 21 miles per gallon compared with a combined 22 mpg for the four-cylinder model, both using regular gasoline. But acceleration and handling are discernibly better with the V-6.

The Venza, originally launched in 2009, is aimed at Toyota loyalists who need more space than what is afforded them in the Camry sedan.

The Venza gives them that space in many creative ways — there are storage bins in doors, the central console, atop the instrument panel and under seats.

The problem for Toyota is that the Venza is not a leadership vehicle. It is surrounded by competitors, such as the Nissan Juke and Honda Crosstour, that have more provocative exterior styling and better on-road performance. It will be trounced by the forthcoming Land Rover Range Rover Evoque — a compact, wagonlike SUV with a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder engine, designed to ride like a sedan, to accelerate in the manner of a sports car, and to deliver off-road performance competitive with Jeeps and larger Land Rover models.

The Venza is not likely to win

buyers attracted to those rival machines. It is likely, however, to continue holding on to those many Toyota customers who love their Camry sedans but now find themselves in need or in want of more hauling ability.

Bottom line The Venza is a good option for Toyota Camry owners. But it’s a much better option with the optional V-6 engine.

Head-turning quotient: Externally, the Venza loses the battle here when placed against the Nissan Juke, Honda Crosstour and forthcoming Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. But the Venza has a very attractive, ergonomically sensible interior.

Capacities: There are seats for five people. Luggage space with middle seats up is 34.4 cubic feet. With rear seats down, maxim cargo capacity is 70 cubic feet. Fuel capacity is 17.7 gallons.

COVER AND PHOTO ON OPPOSITE PAGE BY JEFF MINTON FOR PARADE (BLACK); STYLING BY ANNA ROTH MILNER; PROP STYLING BY LIZ CIGANOVICH; ILLUSTRATION BY MARK HALLETT (DINOSAUR)

The star of Gulliver’s Travels shares his personal adventures in parenting, parks, and Project Runway Honey, I Kept Up With The Kids “The more sleep I get, the better dad I am. Parenting is 90% energy; if you don’t have it, then there tend to be some lazy TV-watching days with the kids, and that ain’t gettin’ it done. A great day with them—my sons are 4 and 2—is an energized adventure into the world. My best piece of parenting advice? Never try to make a happy child happier. Just leave it alone. When you try and kick it up to another level with a scoop of ice cream or whatever, it ruins everything.”

Spicing Things Up “I’ve discovered that I love really spicy food. Part of it is the challenge aspect: Can I defeat the dreaded habañero pepper? But I also like the idea that it goes in my body and kills the rogue bacteria. When I’m coming down with a cold, I blast it with a super-spicy lamb vindaloo.”

After the Laughter “At this point in my career I’m drawn to roles that resonate in my soul chamber. I like to be funny, but I need to feel like I’m breaking new ground or imparting an important message. There are of course Visit us at PARADE.COM

certain directors I’d do anything for.

I’d be a monkey in a donkey suit for Jim Jarmusch!”

Married, with Cable “Being a good husband is like being a gardener: You’ve got to give your partner lots of water and sunshine (love and support). Communication is key—listening and sharing, finding a good TV show to watch together. My wife and I have really been into Project Runway. It’s also important to ask for what you want.

I have a tendency to do whatever my wife wants, and then anger builds up inside me and comes out in little passive-aggressive bursts. It’s better to just communicate your desires up front from the get-go.

Such an obvious and strange discovery at the age of 41!”

A Little Night Music “I just saw a rap band from South Africa called Die Antwoord, and it was insane. The guy is like a Tasmanian devil on the mic, and the girl is a force of nature.”

Parks and Recreation “When I travel I always try to check out the local gardens and parks. My favorite botanical garden is in a

town called Christchurch in New Zealand. It’s got crazy prehistoric trees and Dr. Seuss bushes.”

The Producer “Developing a project from the ground up as a producer is a whole new enchilada. When I started out on Gulliver’s Travels, there was no script, no director, just an incredible book from olde times. It was a great adventure meeting a bunch of creatives and shaping the story and assembling a fantastic team.”

A Wild, Wild Western “My family and I were in Texas recently while I was making a

, 2010 S

movie, and the only thing I missed from home was my sweet Red Dead Redemption video game. I think maybe I was a stone-cold killer cowboy in a past life.”

Are We Having Fun Yet? “I’ve learned that my best acting happens when I’m having fun.

Unfortunately, there is no way to force fun to happen. So when someone says, ‘Hey, remember to have fun!’ it’s frustrating and meaningless advice. They should say, ‘Hey, remember to pretend to have fun!’ because I’ve discovered that when I pretend, it often becomes real.”

PROMISING AMMO IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HIV More than 22 million people in Africa alone are currently infected with HIV. Now researchers there have found new reason for hope. In a trial of a new vaginal gel containing the anti-HIV medication tenofovir, women who used the formulation were twice as likely to remain virus-free as those who didn’t. Such a gel could eventually protect women whose partners refuse to use condoms, saving millions of lives each year.

2. A NEW GLAMOSAUR Paleontologists at the University of Utah have unearthed two flamboyant new dinosaur species that seem to have been the Lady Gagas of their day. The elephant-sized Utahceratops gettyi had a huge head studded with five horns. The Kosmoceratops richardsoni (right) boasted a frill-adorned noggin with a whopping 15 horns on its skull, nose, and cheeks, leading one scientist to call it “one of the most amazing animals known.”

DISCOVERIES 3. THEY CAME, THEY SAW, THEY RECYCLED What did the ancient Romans do when they weren’t staging gladiators' fights and throwing Christians to the lions? Being eco-friendly, it turns out. British archaeologists analyzed 1700-year-old samples of Roman glassware from 19 sites in the U.K. and found evidence of widespread recycling. The specimens contained elements used in two very different glass-making processes, leading the scientists to conclude that the Romans mixed and melted pieces from a variety of sources, like modern recyclers do. No word on whether Roman chariots got good mileage.

4. A POTENTIAL TEST FOR AUTISM No one’s quite sure what causes autism, or why it’s becoming more common. But for the first time, researchers at King’s College London may have figured out how to diagnose the condition by observing the brain. Using 3-D images of brain scans from patients, the team looked for key changes in certain regions responsible for language and social behavior (the highlighted areas, below) and found that they could accurately detect autism 90% of the time. The 15-minute scan is faster than current techniques, although the results are preliminary and future studies are needed.

Down the road, it could lead to better treatments and a clearer understanding of how autism disrupts normal brain function.

6. IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY For the first time astronomers have discovered a corner of outer space that might be just right for human habitation. Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz and the Carnegie Institution of Washington were studying light that was coming from an obscure star, Gliese 581, when they detected a rocky planet in its orbit three times more massive than Earth. Dubbed Gliese 581g, the unconfirmed planet appears to lie within the star’s “habitable zone,” in which the heat reaching its surface is neither too strong nor too weak for liquid water to exist.

But we're unlikely to test that out anytime soon: Since it lies 20 light years away, a conventional space probe would take thousands of years to reach it.

5. BUT STILL NO UNICORNS In an age when even pets are plugged in via Facebook and Twitter, there remain creatures so far off the grid that they haven’t been discovered yet.

Each year scientists identify more than 15,000 new species out of the more than 10 million different kinds of plants and animals believed to exist on the planet.

Among the standouts from 2010: the six-foot-long, yellow-andblack Northern Sierra Madre Forest Monitor Lizard, a timid relative of the Komodo dragon that eats fruit and lives in treetops in the Philippines, and the Caquetá titi (above), a See a slideshow cat-size, red-bearded with other monkey found in the astounding 2010 finds— — jungles of Colombia.

King Tut’s Unlike most monkeys, granddad, hints of life the titi mates for life on Mars—att and purrs like a kitten Parade.com m /discover. when cuddling.

7. SHOES, BOOZE BOO AMONG THE YEAR’ YEAR’S FINDS An international interna team of archaeologists archaeo discovered what’s thought thoug to be the world’s oldest leather leath shoe in a cave in Armenia.

Arm Thanks to the cave’s cav cool, dry conditions, the th 5500-year-old leather lace-up la moccasin (about a woman’s w size 7) was so well-preserved w that even its laces were intact.

Meanwhile, Swedish scuba divers exploring a shipwreck off the coast of Finland found several bottles b of Veuve Clicquot champagne ch dating back to the early 1800s. Not ones to t pass up the opportunity, the divers tried a bottle and found it more than drinkable.

Declared diver Christian Ekstroem, “It was fantastic.”

8. SOMEONE TELL THE GEICO CAVEMEN N Next time i you’re ’ tempted d to call that blockhead driver who cuts you off a Neanderthal, know that you might be partly right. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, decoded fragments of 40,000-year-old DNA taken from Neanderthal skeletons in Croatia and discovered that some of their genetic material exists in people alive today. Anthropologists previously believed that the early human relatives, who dwelled in prehistoric Europe and the Middle East until 30,000 years ago, simply died out, but the latest findings show that interbreeding must have taken place. Among those already confirmed to have Neanderthal genes: Ozzy Osbourne. Yes, that’s actually true.

9. SAY IT IN KORO Linguists on an expedition to a remote area of northeastern India were stunned to find the villagers communicating in a completely unfamiliar tongue. Koro, which is used by only about 800 people, may have been overheard just in the nick of time: Few young people speak only Koro, and it has no written form, so it could easily join the several thousand languages expected to die out this century.

Common Koro Words

To watch a villager sing a Koro song, text “KORO” to 76477.

10. NAVEL GAZING YIELDS BIG NEWS Apart from collecting lint, what is your navel good for? A scientist at Duke University has come up with a surprising answer. He says that a belly button's location can give some athletes an advantage in the swimming pool or on the track. That’s because the navel marks the body’s center of gravity, so those with higher belly buttons make better runners while those with lower belly buttons possess an edge in the water.

12. AN IDEA WORTH KICKING AROUND Looking to find innovative ways to provide electricity to remote African villages, four Harvard undergrads created the sOccket, a soccer ball with a tiny generator inside that can harvest the energy created by its own motion.

Weighing just five ounces more than a standard ball, the prototype needs to be kicked around for 15 minutes to store enough juice to power an LED light for three hours. Once the sOccket ball goes into production, it could supplement or replace kerosene lanterns or conventional hand-cranked generators—and provide some entertainment along the way.

We call that really using your head. And feet.

11. A SHIP FROM A DISTANT PORT Not much shocks New Yorkers, but even so, workers excavating the site of the new World Trade Center weren’t prepared for what they found: rows of standing timbers that turned out to be part of a 30-foot-long hull of a ship buried over 200 years ago.

Although it's dry land today, in the late-18th century the spot lay at the foot of a wharf.

Archaeologists deduced that the vessel had spent time in the Caribbean and that the partial hull may have been deliberately buried as landfill, an old-world way to create something that has never gone out of style—more valuable Manhattan acreage.

Sunday with...

Donny & Marie Osmond HE FIVE-DECADES-AND-COUNTING BOND THAT

T

Donny and Marie Osmond have with their fans is clearly more than puppy love. Now America’s favorite singing, dancing, wisecrack-slinging brother-and-sister act is taking a break from Las Vegas and heading to Times Square for Donny & Marie: A Broadway Christmas (Dec. 9 through Dec. 30). “There’s going to be a lotta heart and a lotta soul,” says Donny, who turns 53 on Thursday. Adds Marie, 51: “I think it will bring back happy memories.” She’s still a little bit country, he’s still a little bit rock ’n’ roll, and, as Brantley Bardin learned, neither shows any signs of slowing down.

PARADE Christmas in NYC for

Donny and Marie—perfect.

M: Yes, we love New York. I want to see Donny do the kick-line with the Rockettes!

D: That’s not too far-fetched,

Marie—I’ve danced before with the Rockettes.

M: I have, too, Donny, but I want to see you kick again.

D: Yeah, well, you’ll be full of envy when you see my kick. Let’s put things into perspective: I won Dancing with the Stars.

M: But we all know the girls on the show dance harder than the boys!

10 • December 5, 2010

How do you each spend Sunday?

Is it a day of rest—apart?

M: For me, it’s a day just for family. We don’t use electronics, and my kids hate it. But I make them chill—it’s good for them to do something where they feel their soul. I love taking them to church, coming home and eating, reading, and relaxing.

D: On Sunday I sleep in, and at one o’clock we go to church. It’s a three-hour block of time when I work with a lot of the teenagers.

Then my wife makes a big meal; we have an open-door policy, where the kids and grandkids can come and eat and we have scripture reading. By the time I get to bed I’m dead tired—it’s more a day of diversion than rest for me!

Marie, now that you’ve lost wei weight, do you have a S Sunday food indulgence?

M: I don’t obsess about ffood anymore, but give m me a great root beer float an any day.

D: And give me a pint of Häagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream, and I’m in heaven.

Donny, what is being in your 50s like for you, a former teen idol?

D: After 32 years of marriage, five children, and three grandkids, it’s just a number, and it means nothing more than that I have one more year to enjoy.

M: You’ve been married to Debbie

longer than I’ve been around— since I’m only 29!

How do fans react to you?

D: They’re fabulous. Once in New York this little old Italian lady ran out into the street and hugged me.

Because Marie and I had been in her home every week on TV, I was like one of her children. And then the other day I was at Whole Foods and this man came out with his two little kids. The guy said, “Go take a picture with Donny Osmond,” and the kids were like, “Who’s Donny Osmond?” The guy mentioned Dancing with the Stars and Mulan, and they said, “Oh, you’re Donny Osmond!” Different continued

generations know us for so many different things.

Do you listen to any music that might surprise us?

D: I do a daily radio show, so I constantly listen to current music. Lady Gaga is an amazingly talented artist, but the envelope is being pushed so far, when you come out in a meat dress and stuff like that.

As a parent, you kind of worry. I like Colbie Caillat, and I even listen to Justin Bieber. I’ve got a little bone to pick with him, though: He stole my old haircut!

Are you a bit envious?

D: No, because I know it’s a

rough road. Give him another three years and he’ll feel the pangs of trying to transition from being a teen idol.

Marie, how will your late son, Michael [who took his own life in February at age 18], be in your heart during your Christmas shows?

M: I’m doing “Pie Jesu” [from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem], and that song is me sending love to him. You get through any way you can… Is he in my heart? Of course he is, 24/7. But I want to bring some joy to my other kids. So when Donny and I first talked about this show, I said, “A New York Christmas would be great for them. Let’s go for it.”

D: It’s the first time we’ve shared a Broadway stage.

When I was younger, I thought I’d be slowing down in my 50s, but I’ve never worked harder. Now we think, Let’s slow down later!

1. Black Swan (Film/Dec. 3) Yes, Natalie Portman does most of her own dancing in this intense psychological drama about a ballerina succumbing to the pressures of Swan Lake. And that’s just one reason she’s an Oscar front-runner this season.

2. The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe (Fiction/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt/$24)

Novels narrated by animals are dicey propositions at best, but Andrew O’Hagan’s book— inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s real-life Maltese—is stellar.

Whether Maf is buoying his owner’s spirits or coolly assessing Susan Sontag, he has a nose for silliness and deep sadness. Of course, it helps that, as he notes, dogs “can hear what people are saying to themselves, and we can sniff illusion.” This December surprise is a very real contender for the wittiest, wisest, most winning book of the year.

SundayDinner

Sibling Revelry Cougar Town’s Christa Miller loved it when her mom made this dish—now her kids love it, too!

“My kids won’t eat all whole-wheat pasta, so my trick is to mix some in with white pasta. Cook the whole-wheat for about a minute and a half before you add the white pasta.”

cle

My husband and I have a deal, which has worked out well: He cooks one Sunday, I cook the next. The kids set the table and we eat in the dining room together, just as I used to do as a kid. I grew up in New York City, and both my parents worked. On weekends, we’d go out to the country, and on Sunday nights we’d come back. Sometimes we were a little cranky—it was a long drive.

But we could always look forward to one thing: my mother’s ziti and meat sauce. My brother is eight years younger than I am, and we’re best friends now, but growing up we’d torment each other. During one fight, just after my mother put the ziti and meat sauce on the table, he pinched me as I walked by.

So I smacked the back of his head—and his face went right into the meat sauce!

My kids, Charlotte, William, and Henry, make me tell that story every time we have this dish. They laugh and laugh about how my brother came up screaming, looking like his face was covered in blood. I didn’t mean to push his face into the sauce! At the time I thought, Oh my god, I’m in so much trouble!

Now it just seems funny.

“Know your strengths. I tried to make asparagus soup last week and put in too much salt.

into rough chunks 1 bunch parsley Basil, salt, and pepper, to taste 1 lb. ziti Ricotta and grated Parmesan

Simmer, covered, in a large pot.

2. Chop onion. Sauté, using enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet, over medium-low heat until translucent. Mince garlic and add to the onion.

3. Put sautéed onions and garlic into tomato pot.

4. Brown chopped meat and sausage in skillet. Add to tomato pot.

5. Add cut-up parsley and basil (I like a lot, but use what you like); season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for several hours.

Add some reserved tomato juice, if needed.

6. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.

7. Spoon pasta into bowls with sauce. Add a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan, to taste. Finish with fresh basil.

If you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, why would you breathe into someone when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)?

—Emilie Smyrlian, Reading, Mass.

The air we inhale is mostly nitrogen. Only 21% is oxygen. And exhaled air is still 15% oxygen.

(Only 4% is carbon dioxide.)

That’s plenty of oxygen to assist a person who isn’t breathing.

“Hands-only” CPR is now endorsed for untrained bystanders because they are much better at performing chest presses alone. (The beat for “Stayin’ Alive” is about the right speed.)

Compressions followed by mouth-to-mouth breathing remain standard for professionals.

The gif t that lets them enjoy their music.

Even more.

Shown in Platinum White with Multi-CD Changer.

The Bose® Wave® music system and Multi-CD Changer. Give that special someone the acclaimed Wave® music system and see them smile. Give it together with the Multi-CD Changer for hours of uninterrupted music, and watch that smile grow.

Premium sound quality makes it a great gift.

The Wave® music system brings new life to music. Advanced Bose technology produces what AudioVideo International calls “deeper bass and more accurate reproduction of the sound of musical instruments.” The result is realism that more closely reproduces the magic of a live performance. Forbes FYI says, “Turn it up, close your eyes and you’ll think you’re listening to a…sound system that costs five times more.”

The Multi-CD Changer makes it even more appreciated.

Designed exclusively for the Wave® music system, the optional Multi-CD Changer allows you to enjoy convincingly accurate sound for hours on end.

One CD or MP3 CD goes in the Wave® music system, and three more go in the changer. They work as one. What’s more, a credit card-style remote easily operates every feature, including the FM/AM digital tuner, clock and alarm. It’s all-in-one convenience from a system that provides an elegant addition to the living room, kitchen, bedroom or office.

Take advantage of our 30-day, risk-free trial.

Choose your favorite color: Platinum White, Graphite Gray or Titanium Silver. And use our 30-day, risk-free trial to experience the performance in your own home.

When you call, be sure to ask about making 12 easy payments, with no interest charges from Bose.* Order the Wave® music system today. Better yet, order it with our Multi-CD Changer and save $150. They’re the gifts that make special occasions even more special. In fact, as Rich Warren reports in the News-Gazette, the “Wave music system will flat out seduce you.”
