Gov. John Kitzhaber's budget proposal would cut the state funding for education service districts in Oregon, prompting concerns among local educators that the districts would be unable to meet the needs of schools. Under the proposal for the 2013-15 biennium, up to $120 million that has gone to education service districts in Oregon would be trimmed. Those dollars would instead be funneled into professional development efforts for educators. Education service districts provide school districts with services like technology, legal services and special education. Nineteen ESDs are in Oregon and have the goal of aiding school districts by marshaling resources on a broad scale to save money. John Rexford, superintendent of High Desert ESD, said the proposal would amount to $2.7 million a year less, or $5.4 million for the biennium. That's about 29 percent of the district's general fund budget, he said. "It really affects our constituent school districts," he said. "Ninety percent of funds we receive go back to school districts." SeeBudget/A6

STEP 1: PLAN • Choose a place for the tree that is not near a heat source such as fireplace a or vent. This will help make sure the tree

doesn't dry out.

• Measure theavailable space;takethe measurementsandatape measure with you. • If you're interested in a specific type of tree, research it ahead of time.

• Be sure to have astand available. Some tree sellers sell them, but there's no guarantee they will still have one available.

STEP 2:CHOOSING A TYPE OF TREE Several types of trees areavailable at seasonal retailers around Central Oregon. Most trees comefrom Oregon tree farms and arecut just before being shipped. While other types of trees might be found, these species are the most widely available:

WASHINGTON — Angered by what she thought was shoddy work on her home, Fairfax, Va., resident Jane Perez did what has become the go-to form of retail vengeance in the Internet age: She logged onto Yelp and posted scathing reviews of the Washington firm that did the job. Perez ticked off a list of accusations, including damage to her home, an invoice for work the contractor did not perform and jewelry that disappeared. She closed one post by fuming, "Bottom line do not put yourself through this nightmare of a contractor." The contractor's response to her one-star takedown? Fight back. Christopher Dietz filed a $750,000 Internet defamation suit against Perez last month, saying the postings on Yelp and others on Angie's List were false and sent customers fleeing. SeeOnline/A5

STEP 3: CARING FOR CHRISTMAS TREES • If the tree will be left outside for more than a day before being brought inside, store it in a bucket of water in a cool, shady spot. Before

bringing it inside, make a fresh cut of about'/4 inch to improve the tree's water uptake. • Check daily to make sure the tree stand has plenty of water. Trees can drink a lot, especially at first. Plain tap water is recommended; additives have not been shown to increase tree life.

• After the holidays, recycle your tree. Mostare turned into mulch. Local BoyScout troops offer a pick-up service, usually starting in January.

WASHINGTON — A decadelong, $7 billion federal program to help local police and firedepartments prepare for terrorist attacks has allowed communities to buy millions of dollars worth of equipment that goes unused or is unrelated to terrorism, according to a new report. Since 2003, a Department of Homeland Security grant program called the Urban Areas Security Initiative has ballooned from 12 major metropolitan areas to 31 jurisdictions. The study found that some cities and towns had created implausible attack scenarios to win federal grants, and had scrambled at the end of each fiscal year to buy extra, unnecessary gadgets to spend excess cash. Columbus, Ohio, for example, used $98,000 to buy an underwater robot for local rivers. Peorta, Artz., spent $90,000 to install cameras and car bomb barriers at the spring training fieldfor the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners. SeeGrants/A5

seems os ins ace

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — NASA, the agency that epitomized the "Right Stuff," seems lost in space and doesn't have a clear sense of where it is going, an independent panel of science and engineering experts said in a stinging report Wednesday. The one place the White House wants to send astronauts — an asteroid — doesn't seem to be getting the engines firing at NASA, they said. "More than two years after the president announced the interim goal of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025, there has been little effort to initiate such a mission," said the report by a panel of the distinguished National Academy of Sciences. In another withering passage, the panel said NASA's mission and vision statements are so vague and "generic" that they "could apply to almost any government research and development agency, omitting even the words 'aeronautics' or

CORRECTIONS

The report doesn't blame the space agency; it faults President Barack Obama, Congress and the nation for not giving NASA better direction. The space shuttles were retired in 2011 and are now museum pieces. Few people are paying attention to the International Space Station, and American astronauts have to rely on R ussian spaceships to get there and back. Meanwhile, rocket building is being outsourced to private companies, and a commercial venture plans to send people to the moon bythe end ofthe decade. Academy panel m e mber Bob Crippen, a retired NASA manager and astronaut who piloted the first space shuttle m ission, said he has never seen the spaceagency so adrift.H e said that includes the decade between the end of the Apollo moon landings in the early 1970s and the beginning of the shuttle program. "I think people (at NASA) want to be focused a little more and know where they are going," Crippen told The Associated Press. NASA spokesman David Weaver defended the agency, saying in an emailed statement

that it has clear and challenging goals. He listed several projects, including continued use of the International Space Station and efforts to develop a heavy-duty rocket and crew capsule capable of taking astronauts into deep space. White House spokesman Matt Lehrich said he had nothing to add beyond NASA's comments. On Tuesday, just ahead of the report, NASA announced plans for a new Mars rover in 2020 ina sequel to the successful Curiosity mission. John Logsdon, a space policy expert who advised the Obama campaign in 2008, said the panel's report, which is more strongly worded than usual for the academy, "ratherfairly points its fingers at the White House." "There's a general sense of disappointment that the administration has not been more bold and visionary in setting out a path for the program," said Logsdon, who was not on the panel. Obama told the space agency in 2010 to plan to send astronauts to an asteroid by 2025 as a training ground for an eventual Mars landing. But the

80-page panel report and its authors said there is little support for that idea within NASA and the international space community. The agency hasn't d one much to determine an asteroid target, and its strategic plan avoids mention of an asteroid mission, the report said. Also, panel members said NASA hasn't allocated much money for it. Crippen said a n a steroid mission doesn't make sense technically or politically and may just be too tough. "I hate to use the word credible, but people don't buy it," said academy panel member Marcia Smith, president of

Space and Technology Policy Group. "They don't feel that the asteroid mission is the right one." The reason people aren't buying it is that they don't see moneybudgeted for it and don't see the choice of target, said panel chairman Albert Carnesale, former chancellorof the University of California, Los Angeles. Inside NASA, "people were wondering: What are we doing to actually accomplish this?" Carnesale said at a news conference.

After the 2003 shuttle Columbia accident, the independent board investigating what wrong said N A S A n e eded a bigger long-term plan for human e x ploration. T h enPresident George W. Bush announced that the shuttle would be retired and that NASA's new goal would be to return astronauts to the moon with a permanent base there as a stepping stone to Mars. When Obama took office, he appointed an outside committee that said the moon plan wasn't workable. The committee offered several options, including an asteroid mission as a possible stepping stone to Mars. Obama chose that path. Syracuse University public policy professor Henry Lambright, who wasn't part of the latest study but has written about space policy, said Obama has not sold NASA, Congress or the country on his plan. "I really think it's Obama's fault," Lambright said. NASA "is suffering f ro m b e n ign neglect." American University policy professor Howard McCurdy, who also wasn't on the panel, said hesees the problem more as a lack of money than a lack

of goals. The report said NASA does not have enough money for its too many projects and has difficulty managing its 10 centers efficiently. In his statement, NASA's Weaver said: "We're fully utilizing the International Space Station; developing a heavylift rocket and multi-purpose crew vehicle capable of taking American astronauts into deep space; facilitating development of commercial capabilities for cargo and crew transport to low Earth orbit; expanding our technological capabilities for the human and robotic missions of today and tomorrow; pursuing a robust portfolio of science missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope; developing faster and cleaner a ircraft an d i n s piring t h e next generation of exploration leaders." Smith said that statement itself shows the problem: "If it takes you that many phrases to explain it, then you do not have a crisp, clear strategic vision."

It's Thursday, Dec. 6, the 341st day of 2012. There are 25 days left in the year.

TOP T ORIES IN BRIEF Syria's civil war spills into northern Lebanon TRIPOLI, Lebanon — Gunmen loyal to opposite sides in neighboring Syria's civil war battled on Wednesday in the streetsofa northern Lebanese city where two days of clashes have killed at least six people and wounded more than 50, officials said. The Lebanese army fanned out in the city of Tripoli in an attempt to calm the fighting, with soldiers patrolling the streets in armored personnel carriers and manning checkpoints. Authorities closed major roads because of sniper fire. The fighting comes at a time of deep uncertainty in Syria, with rebels fighting government troops near President Basshar Assad's seat of power in Damascus. In Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiteratedconcerns that "an increasingly desperate Assad regime might turn to chemical weapons" or lose control of them to militant groups.

By Jeffrey Fleishman Los Angeles Times

CAIRO — Anger between Egypt's rival political camps erupted into street battles Wednesday after I s l amist supporters of President Mohamed Morsi tore down tents belonging t o an t i -government demonstrators, raising the possibility of w i dening violence over the nation's proposed constitution. Pro-Morsi factions overran about 200protesters camped outside the presidential palace in north Cairo. The clashes came after the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party called thousands of its members into the streets in a counterdemonstration to drive opposition movements from the presidential palace. Shoving a n d pu n c hing spilled down a boulevard as hurled stones, swinging sticks and firebombs filled the dusk in one of the capital's wealthiest neighborhoods. Pro-Morsi contingents, including Brotherhood followers and ultraconservative Salafis, chased opposition activists shouting: "God is great. The people support the president's decision." More than 200 people were injured across a c i tyscape that had the charged air of a florescent-lit battlefield with c ompeting b a nners, b a n daged men and dinner trays used as shields to block bar-

There were unconfirmed reports of at least three deaths. Police were slow to react in Cairo but eventually arrived and attempted to separate the two sides even as the skirmishes raised fears that animosity between Islamists and the mainly secular opposition were a d angerous foreshadowing. Both camps threatened to march against one another and there appeared little compromise in a battle over the nation's future that symbolizes the larger struggle over political Islam rising from the Arab Spring.

"Vicious attack vs. peaceful protesters in front of presidential palace," tweeted Mohamed EIBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and opposition leader. "Regime leading Egypt into violence and bloodshed." The clashes revealed new cracks in Morsi's government from officials disturbed by the power and meddling of the Brotherhood. Three presidential a dvisers r e signed, including Seif Abdel-Fattah, who told the Egyptian media: "Egypt is bigger than a narrow-minded elite.... We can no longer stay silent because they (the Brotherhood) have harmed the nation and the revolution."

Typhoon deaths rise above210 New York Times News Service MANILA , Phi l i p pines — With m any r o ads and bridges washed away, rescue teams struggled Wednesday to reach isolated villages in the southern Philippines after a powerful out-of-season typhoon tore through the region, leaving more than 270 people dead and hundreds more missing, officials said. Typhoon Bopha p acked winds of up to 100 mph when it struck Tuesday, bringing torrential rains that flattened entire villages and left thousands homeless.

The deaths were concentrated in the Compostela Valley, a mountainous gold mining area, and the neighboring province of Davao Oriental, on the eastern coast of the southern Philippines island of Mindanao, Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza, a military spokesman, said in a telephone interview late Wednesday. A national disaster official, Benito Ramos, said at a news conference Wednesday that 274 people had died, 339 were injured and 279 were missing. Those figures were likely

to rise, he suggested, since rescue workers had not yet reached several villages in the hardest-hit areas and the casualties there were not known. Most of the dead appeared to have drowned or been hit

by falling trees or flying debris, officials said. " There is debris i n t h e road, so our soldiers are moving by f o ot," Paniza said. "They are crossing rivers and l andslides. I don't want to speculate, but we don't know what they will find when they reach those cutoff areas." '= -

has growing concerns that, just as in Libya, the Qataris are equipping some of the wrong militants. Within weeks of endorsing Qatar's plan to send weapons there in spring 2011, the White House began receiving reports that they were going to Islamic militant groups. They were "more anti-democratic, more hard-line, closer to an extreme version of Islam" than the main rebel alliance in Libya, said a former Defense Department official. The Qatari assistance to fighters viewed as h ostile by the United States demonstrates the Obama administration's continuing struggles i n dealing with th e A r ab Spring uprisings, as it tries to support popular protest movements while avoiding U.S. military entanglements. Relying on surrogates allows the United States to keep its fingerprints off o p erations but also means they may play out in ways that conflict with U.S.interests. "To do this right, you have to have on-the-ground intelligence and you have to have experience," said Vali Nasr, a former State Department adviser who is now dean of Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, part of Johns Hopkins University. "When you havean intermediary, you are going to lose control."

DENVER — Newly released documents show that officials at the University of Colorado fearedfortheir safety after a graduate student there was identified as the suspect in the A urora m o vi e t h eater shootings. The internal emails were among several thousand documents released Wednesday under Colorado's Open Records Act.

New York Times NewsService W ASHINGTON — T h e Obama administration secretlygave its blessingto arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but U.S. officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to U.S. officials and foreign diplomats. No evidence has emerged linking the w eapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Moammar Gadhafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September. But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences ofits hidden

news channel showed images Tuesday of what it said was the ScanEagle drone that had been captured intact. The aircraft was seized after violating the Islamic Republic's airspace, Iranian officials said. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that the U.S. has "no evidence Iranian claims are true." The U.S. Navy "has fully accounted for all unmanned aerial vehicles operating in the Middle East region," Commander Jason Salata, a spokesman for the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, said Tuesday. His statement didn't make clear whether the Navy was vouching for all drones flown by agencies such as the CIA or

by U.S. allies or for drones that may have been lost in the past. The seizure of the ScanEagle drone by Iran "is not something Americans can easily deny," Sharif said. Even if Iran took possession of a ScanEagle, it "will offer very limited sensitive technology," Philip Finnegan, an aerospace analyst at the Teal Group Corp., a F airfax, Va.-based defense-market analysis firm, said in an emailed statement. The system, made by the Insitu unit of Chicago-based Boeing, has been around for almost a decade and is being superseded by a new model called the Integrator, "which will carry considerablemore payload," he sa>d.

The WashingtonPost W ASHINGTON — T h e House of R e presentatives will not f o rmally adjourn for the year "until a credible solution to the fiscal cliff has been found," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Wednesday. C antor m ad e t h e a n nouncement d u r in g h is weekly colloquy with House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., to discuss the forthcoming schedule and possible consideration of pending issues. The exchange occurredafterthe chamber's final scheduled votes for this week. The House was originally scheduled to adjourn and formally end the 112th Congress on Dec. 14. But Cantor's announcement means

House lawmakers likely will meet the following week and possibly right up to and beyond Christmas Day. Cantor's announcement is the first signal that lawmakers, their staffs and families may find themselves stuck in Washington over Christmas — or least only able to enjoy a few days to celebrate the holiday. E ven though it w il l l i n ger through December, the House is done voting for this week. Addressing concerns that the move m i ght p r olong fiscal negotiations, House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, made clear that "I'll be here, I'll be available at any moment to sit down with the president to get serious about solving this problem."

WASHINGTON For more thanthree decades, CIA polygraphers collected what they hoped wouldbe damning evidence that Michael Pillsbury should be barred from seeing government secrets. As thedossier on him grew, the China expert nonetheless advised three Republican presidents, got countless security clearances, was a top defense official under President George W. Bush and did sensitive work for the CIA. The extent of the allegations against him finally came spilling out two years ago, when Pillsbury discovered that he was accused of making multiple confessions during polygraph tests that he later said he'd never made. When he demanded torefute the accusations, CIA security officials politely demurred. Agency officials informed his attorneys that the constitutional right to due process didn't apply to

polygraph screening. "Polygraphers have no accountability," Pillsbury wrote this week in a letter to James Clapper, the director of national intelligence. "This is wrong and needs to be corrected." The tens of thousands of Americans who now undergo federal polygraph screening every yearforjobs or security clearances face e n trenched secrecy and daunting legal hurdles if they challenge their tests. Most federal employees are barredfrom suing in court, forcedinstead to seek recourse from the agencies that denied their jobs or security clearances in the first place. As a result, critics say, poly-

Information about polygraph screening is soguarded by the agencies that use it that job applicants who are tested are urged

not to tell anyone.Thenews mediaare denied basic information, suchashow manygovernmentemployeesarescreened,because it's "sensitive" and could jeopardize national security.

Researchers are told they can't get studies about how it works. Even the National Academies, the organization set up to advise the federal government on scientific matters, faced stiff resistance when it reviewed polygraph testing. As a result, the academies compared the polygraph profession to the "priesthood keeping its

secrets in order to keepits power." "It's a siege mentality," acknowledged Gordon Barland, a retired Mary F. Calvert / McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Michael Pillsbury, a China expert who has advised three Republican administrations and held numerous security clearances, had to battle claims by polygraphers that he made admissions of leaking sensitive information. have flourished, targeting a growing number of p r ivate contractors with more intensely personal questions than ever before.

polygraphers. The CIA said it couldn't comment on any specific allegations because it was legally prohibited from speaking about individuals under privacy laws. The agency, however, defended

its polygraphers as "highly

rity clearance. Sullivan said the problem was that the polygraph division was left to police itself. "That is similar to asking the fox to guard the chicken coop," he said, adding that one

top agency official told polygraphers, "If you aren't getting complaints, you are not doing

your job." All polygraphers are trained at the same federal academy and are warned against engaging in unethical and discriminatory behavior. The academy also routinely inspects polygraph programs to ensure that their practices are in line with federal standards. But critics saythe inspections are cursory and often miss major problems. The academy inspected the National Reconnaissance Office, yet it didn't appear to pick up on a major internal controversy. McClatchy earlier this year detailed allegations by current and former polygraphers that they were pushed to collect intensely personal information in violation of Pentagon rules and were rewarded with bonuses for doing so. The spy satellite agency is supposed to be sticking to national security questions under Pentagon rules, but in one of the violations a former polygrapher said he was pressured to interrogate a woman about her molestation as a child. In a recent letter to Clapper, Rep. Rush Holt, a New Jersey

ments about the missing jewelry and trespassing amount to false accusations that he committed c r imes. C ounty court records show that Dietz has not been charged on either accusation. In Virginia, someone can be found liable for defamation if he states or implies a false factual statement about a person or businessthat causes harm to the subject's reputation. Opinions are generally protected by the First Amendment. Lawyers say such lawsuits are onthe rise because of the explosion in popularity of review sites such as Yelp. They also say that commentators are unfamiliar with what constitutes defamation and that others are lulled into a false sense of security online. "There is a right to speak anonymously on the Internet," said Lee Berlik, a Reston lawyer who handles Internet defamation cases. "Armed with that right, I think people feel safe when they are sitting in their pajamas at their desks at home. They feel they have the right to say whatever they want." But that right does not extend to d efamatory speech. Lawyers across the country

Democrat,urged the director to "move us beyond the use of such an unreliable instrument as the polygraph," citing the alleged abuses at the National Reconnaissance Office as reason for alarm. "Such voyeuristic interrogation" brings to mind "tactics employed byour former Soviet enemies," the retired Princeton University physicist wrote.

'A grave injustice' One intelligence analyst was denied details about what he was alleged to have admitted

during his polygraph despite his persistent inquiries over years. The CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, the two agencies who rejected the analyst's application, refused to say. He tried to enlist Congress' help, but was ignored. Under the pseudonym John Doe, he sued in federalcourt for access to his employment file and encounteredmore resistance, led by the Justice Department. "It is a grave injustice for me to be denied any opportunity to correct these misconceptions," the intelligence analyst wrote in a complaint to the CIA inspector general that went unheeded. "It is tantamount to

someone mistyping my Social Security number into the national crime database ... and

refusingany appeals,despite the fact that it was a documentable mistake."

Lawyers say businesses suing reviewers have met with lesssuccess.In fact,m any such lawsuits have backfired. Some have generated negative publicity for the plaintiffs and have been looked at skeptically by courts. Last year, a California judge ordered a dentist to pay the legal bills of the parents of a patient he sued for defamation over a negative review one of them posted on Yelp. Mark Goldowitz, founder of the Public Participation Project, which monitors such lawsuits, said he sees a troubling trend in review site defamation cases such as the one in Fairfax. He thinks they are a threat to vibrant new communities that have sprung up around Yelp and other sites. "The suits can have a chilling effect on people's willingness to share i nformation," Goldowitz said. "It does lead to people not posting reviews for fear of getting sued and to taking them down when threatened by a lawsuit."

Grants Continued from At Officials in Clovis, Calif., used the police department's $200,000 armored personnel carrier to patrol an annual Easter egg hunt. In San Diego in September,police officers and rescue workers were allowed to use Homeland Security grant money to coverthe cost of a five-day counterterrorism conference held at Paradise Point Resort 8 Spa. The $1,000 conference fee included admission to a

"zombieapocalypse" demonstration, in which first responders zapped 40 actors dressed as the undead. The yearlong study, sponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., examined federal documents and f i nancial statements from 15 communities and found that federal funds were often subsidizing local-level police and fire department budgets. "We cannot make every c ommunity a r o und t h e country invulnerable to terrorist attacks by w r i ting large checks from Washington, D.C.," said Coburn, who is seeking to cut the Homeland Security budget, which totaled $46 billion this year. He said the department's inability to m onitor how grant money is spent has led to waste, inefficiency and a false sense of security. He said Congress should reconsider the department's approach to reducing the risk ofterrorism. "I'm not sure we are getting much risk reduction sending people to a zombie apocalypse demonstration," he said. The study cited abuses in Phoenix an d T ucson, Ariz.; Bakersfield, Oxnard, Riverside, Sacramento and San Diego, Calif.; Denver; Indianapolis; Baton Rouge, La.; Minneapolis; Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo, Ohio; and Tulsa, Okla. The Homeland Security "fundamenDepartment t ally disagrees with t h e r eport's position o n t h e value of homeland security grants," said s pokesman Matthew Chandler. "We have seenthe value ofthese grants time and again." T he d e partment h a s a warded $35 b i l lion i n grants, including those for counterterrorism, to citi es and states since it was created in November 2002. It awarded $490 million for counterterrorism grants in 2012, down from a peak of $832 million in 2010. "At the end of the day we will have to buclde down and be more smart and efficient," said Frank Cilluffo, director of the Homeland Security Policy I n stitute at G e orge W a shington University. After a decade without a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the appetite for big counterterrorism initiatives has diminished, said Rick Nelson, a domestic security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "The threat has evolved and we don't have the resources to protect all Americans from all threats all the time," Nelson said. "Even if we wanted to do it, we can't afford it."

things for us in special education, it's hard to imagine not having access to their services," she said. That's particularly true in small school districts, where few students are in need of specialized assistance. For example, Culver School District has one h e aring-impaired student, said Stefanie Garber, the district's superintendent. The school district also gets help from occupational therapists, who come in two days a week to work with students and offer guidance to staff. For the district to find that service on its own would be difficult, Garber said. "I would be hard-pressed to find a two-day-a-month employee on my own, so that's the beauty of the ESDs providing the services," she said. "They can divide and conquer with their employees." Rick Molitor, superintendent of Jefferson County ESD, said he also has concerns. "Any funding that's being impacted ortaken away from the ESD has a direct link and impact to student services that we provide in classrooms," said Molitor, who is also superintendentof the Jefferson County School District. Noting that the numbers are still fluid, Molitor said his ESD's cut would be roughly $300,000 to $350,000 — an amount comparable to the entire budget for technology needs.

At the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio, 540 pounds of weights are placed on the execution table to test its load-bearing capability. Inmate Ronald Post, scheduled for execution in January, weighs about 450 pounds.

Post, who gained close to 200 pounds on death row, is trying to stave off execution Jan. 16 for the 1983 killing of a motel clerk during a robbery, arguing that because of his obesity, an attempt to put him to death would amount to cruel and unusual punishment. State officials say Post, 53, can be humanely executed under both Ohio's usual method and the untested backup procedure. The warden at the prison where the death chamber is situated even tested the gurney by piling 540 pounds of weights on it for two hours. A federal judge in Columbus will hold a hearing on Post's claim later this month. Post's case is not without precedent: In 1994, a federal judge in Washington state ruled that convicted killer Mitchell

cause he might be decapitated. After numerous court rulings and a third trial, Rupe was sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2006. If Post manages to stop his executionbecause of his weight, the l egal p recedent may not be far-reaching, because of the very small number of death row inmates who are that obese, said Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor and expert on lethal injection. And she said it is unlikely prisoners would begin stuffing themselves to try to fend off execution. Richard Dieter, executive director of the Washington-based Death Penalty I n f ormation Center, which opposes capital punishment, predicted states will find a way around obesity claims by adjusting their ex-

"Inmates probably will recognize that that's a thin straw to hang your hopes on," he said. At 6 feet 2 t/2 inches, Post weighed 260 pounds around the time he was moved to death row in 1985. His weight has gone up and down behind bars, and at one time he lost 150 pounds through dieting, his

They said meals are served inreasonable portions and seconds are not allowed, and they provided copies of prison menus that list healthier options such as low-fat milk, vegetarian patties and mixed vegetables.

Almost all of the new enrolleesare in network care, as opposed t o a c t ive-duty military on a m i l itary base or deployed overseas.

"Smoking used to be the rich man's habit," said Danny McGoldrick, the vice presidentfor research atthe Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, "and now it's decidedly a poor person's behavior." Aggressive a n ti-smoking programs are the main tools that cities and states have to reachthe demographic groups in which smoking rates are the highest, making money to finance them even more critical, McGoldrick said. The decline in spending comes amidgrowingcertainty among public health officials that anti-smoking programs, like help lines and counseling, actually work. An analysis by Washington state, cited in the report, found that it saved $5 in tobacco-related hospitalization costs for every $1 spent during the first 10 years of its

The snow was soft and plentiful for early December, and we sang out a few "hallelujahs" as our legs remembered how to fly on skis. But after hours of enduring a continuous snowblast facial, on Sunday I was ready to head east to the Larry Chitwood Trailhead, a corner of the Oregon Badlands Wilderness. It was called the Obernolte Trailhead until a few years ago, when it was renamed in honor of Chitwood, a U.S. Forest Service geologist who died suddenly in 2008. There, autumn seems like it's hanging on. The air felt pleasantly crisp and the ground firm from recent rain. The sun made an appearance to offer up some much-needed vitamin D.

The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming maintains a yurt that skiers and snowboarders can rent for overnight stays all seasonlong.

Dinner's over, and I have to go to the bathroom. Walking to the "facilities" — a tree 50 feet from the front door — I stumble into a snowdrift. My landing is soft — Wyoming's Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has reported 10 inches of fresh snow in the past 24 hours — and I don't have to go that badly, so I lie down rather than rush. With the day's storm over, more stars than I've ever seen twinkle above. Someone told me that if I stare at the sky here long enough, I'm certain to spot a satellite. I give it until a pine bough above releases a poof of powder into my upturned face. Snow fast melting inside my down jacket, I get a bit chilled. Which would be a problem if I w ere truly winter

camping. But my ski buddies and I have rented the resort's yurt for the night. I'm embarrassed to have lived in this valley and skied at this resort for 15 years and to have just now discovered this accommodation. Everyone else in my group has done yurt trips and winter camping excursions, specifically the Bench Hut in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains, the Beaver Creek

Cabin in Montana's Gallatin National Forest, and tent/snow cave camping deep in nearby Grand Teton National Park. I definitely prefer yurts to tents. The former, which are circular one-room structures that Central Asian nomads have been living in for thousands of years, give you room to spread out, space to dry your wet clothes and boots, a basic kitchen, bunks and, most important when spending a night in the wild where temperatures routinely dip below zero, a wood-burning stove. Tents, which I've spent more winter nights in than I can count, are just a pain. Do it to say you've done it. Once. And then reserve a yurt, preferably this one. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's yurt surpassesany thatI've ever seen.Most yurts are in the backcountry. Getting to them requires several hours of exertion, schlepping backpacks loaded with food and supplies using snowshoes or specialized ski gear. At Jackson Hole, you take the 100-passenger tram to the 10,450-foot summit of Rendezvous Mountain and ski down to the yurt. And it comes with a yurtmeister. See Yurt/B6

Frequently, co-workers are the ones who notice a decline in functioning. Could you please remind your readers to speak up to a family member when they see their co-workers struggling? My 62-year-old husband was recently diagnosed, and I have since learned that his co-workers spotted his troubles longbefore I did at home. Had I been informed, he could possibly have retired on disability and have Medicare today (which he does not now). Additionally, he would have known to have structured his retirement to include survivorship on his pension, which he did not.

By FRANK STEWART I c o ntinue a s e r ie s o n s u i t preference, a useful signaling method. In some situations, the play of a strikingly high or low card may direct partner's attention to a highranking or low-ranking suit. Today's West leads the king of diamonds against four hearts, and E ast s i gnals w i t h the ei g h t . C onceivably, East could h ave a doubleton diamond, but West thinks that is unlikely on the bidding; he interprets Ea s t ' s enc o u raging diamond as showing the queen.

West wants to give East the lead to get a spade return, making a winner of the king before declarer can draw trumps a n d pe r h aps e s t ablish dummy's clubs for a spade discard. But if West leads a random low diamond next, East will wonder what to return. A club shift might be best. At Trick Two, West should lead the TEN of diamonds - a strikingly high diamond to suggest strength in spades, the high-ranking suit. When East takes the queen, he shifts to a spade for down one. No other defense is good enough. DAILY QUESTION

Outing Continued from B1 Except for a few rock formations to climb, the Badlands are known for flatter terrain, and our journey Sunday could qualify as easy.

All of this is in Mike's pack. In addition to the flask of Baileys, I also have one filled with Drambuie. And in case the card and dice games that are a yurt's usual evening entertainments get out of hand, an entire bottle of 12-year-old Macallan. Oh, and a t oothbrush, a h eadlamp, clothes to sleep in and down booties to put on when my ski boots come off.

The ancient junipers, which are the signatures of this wilderness, were our c onstant companions on this journey. Gnarled and moss-laden, they remind us that a human lifetime is but a f l eeting thing compared to t h e h u ndreds of years they observe their stretch of ground. The oldest juniper tree in Oregon was at least at one time suspected to be across U.S. Highway 20 on Horse Butte, an elder of 1,600 years. These trees have observed much in their time. This day, though, I picked up on a few

badlands

Deer tracks showed that the ungulates range throughout the area. The width of the trails indicate that v ehicles once zipped through these parts. In addition, it's hard not to spot a small field of rusted cans in the first three-tenths of a mile from the trailhead. The Badlands were once home to Meek's Trail, a branch of the Oregon Trail. Old maps showed it likely passed on the northern end of the wilderness area,not far as the crow flies from the Chitwood Trailhead. While some of those rusted cans reasonably come from g arbage dumpers from d ecades ago, others could pot entially date back t o t h a t time when European pioneers

A skier's delight Sitting on a ridge between the Hobacks and Rock Springs Canyon, which is part of the resort's 3,000 acres of sidecountry terrain, the yurt is accessible by different routes. My friends and I are all experienced backcountry skiers with the gear and avalanche knowledge to ski the sidecountry — terrain that's accessible via lifts but is not patrolled, controlled for avalanches or marked for hazards. Wanting to settle in as quickly as possible, we opt for the fastest route: inbounds down Rendezvous Bowl to Rendezvous Trail to the South Hoback. Though Rendezvous Bowl and the South Hoback are ungroomed black-diamond runs, Mike says that he has helped intermediate skiers get to the yurt. "We just take our time," he said. Less-skilled ski-

trudged west. Thus, until an assessment i s u n d e rtaken to know the area's possible cultural value, federal l aw protects them as potential artifacts that if removed would change the character of the land. I also thought about Chitwood, a Forest Service man honored here on BLM land. Chitwood helped found the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Brent Fenty, executive director of the Oregon Natural Desert Association, said Chitwood had extensively researched lava formations throughout Central Oregon, including the i n f lated lava tubes within the Badlands. "He spent time there hiking, and helped other people understand what an amazing resource we have in Bend's backyard," Fenty said. While suchpeople came before us, this Sunday our slice of Central Oregon was relatively empty, despite its location a mere 15 miles from Bend. How lucky we are to have quiet wilderness out our back door: A perfect spot to feel the rhythm of your breath on a gentle run and the warmth of the late autumn sun on your face.

Continued from B1 Even before y u r tmeister Mike Ross called me to go over menu details and explain what a yurtmeister does, the word itself made me smile. I imagined how much atitle like that would make a resume stand out. A fter learning that M i k e would be taking care of all the cooking and cleaning during our stay and carrying in our food, I graduate from smiling. I'm in love.

Without a yurtmeister, yurts can be fairly labor-intensive. There's wood to split, snow to melt and strain for water, dinner to cook under beams of light from headlamps and dishes to wash and rinse in water often flecked with pine needles. Of course, these chores don't go away here, but the responsibility for them does. My group meets yurtmeister Mike at the staff-only entrance to the tram on the deck of the resort's Nick Wilson's Cowboy Cafe at 3 p.m. (The usual meeting time is earlier, but we voted to ski some more rather than settle into the yurt early.)

Mike with dinner, but don't. Three hours later, it's obvious that he didn't miss me. I'd never guess that the tortellini in creamy tomato sauce with smoked salmon was cooked on a two-burner Coleman stove. I'd also never guess that, after having just recently devoured 10 pounds of salami, cheese and fruit, my f riends and I would be capable of eating as much tortellini as we do. R ather than w atch M i k e wash the dishes, I make my way outside to the pee tree and get waylaid by the snowdrift and looking for satellites. I don't see one. Having extricated myself from the snow and emptied my bladder, I go back inside, where it's easily 80-some degrees. I want to stay up and play dice but instead give in to the heat and my food coma. I wake up once in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, to toss off the yurt's minus-20-

degree sleeping bag. Mike's alarm should wake us all up — the yurt is 20 feet in diameter and the alarm is on the table in the center — but no one (aside from Mike) stirs until the yurt fills with the smells of coffee and toasting bagels. Taking a mug of coffee and my sleeping bag outside onto the deck, I open a canvas folding chair, drape the bag over me and soak up some earlymorning sun. Fifteen minutes later, we're packed and stepping into our s k is. Twenty minutes later, we're back at the resort base, no cleanup or schlepping of heavy packs required.

BEND MAYOR

Barram, Clinton

appeal to council By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Bend Mayor Pro Tem Jodie Barram and City Councilor Jim Clinton each appealed to their colleagues Wednesday night to choose one of them as the next mayor. "It has been the subject of quite a bit of coverage now, and I think everybody at this point understands it B arr a m is four councilor votes that determines who the mayor is in Bend," Clinton said, Capett alluding to the fact that three councilors have said they would like to be mayor. C lint o n Councilor Mark Capell announced his desire and qualifications to be mayor at a meeting the week of Thanksgiving. In Bend, the City Council chooses one of its members toserve as mayor every two years. Councilors will make that decision in January. Clinton said he does not have a personal agenda and "for me personally, it is not some kind of power quest ... But it is about the issues that need some follow-through from the recent election."

DESCHUTES COUNTY

Bond sale aims to help property owners Bulletin staff report A bond sale today is tailored to give Deschutes County taxpayers a break on their property taxes. The Deschutes County Commission approved participation in a once-in-a-decade chance to sell $12.6 million in general obligation bonds, refinance its overall debt and give taxpayers a break at the same time, said county Finance Director and Treasurer Marty Wynne. The county stands to save $900,000 by selling this bond issue at a lower interest rate, 1.2 percent, to pay off the bonds it issued in 2002 at 4.88 percent, said the county investment counselor, Kieu-Oanh Nguyen, of Portland.Those 2002 bonds were issued to pay off an earlier issue, she said. Interest rates are low, which is bad for generatingrevenue but reduces the debt service payment on government bonds. Selling county bonds helps the county pay down its debt and return the savings next year in the form of a reduced property tax rate, Wynne said Wednesday. It's similar to a homeowner refinancing a mortgage, except that in this case, the county can

refinance in this way only once every 10 years. Deschutes County enjoys an Aa2 rating on this bond issue, according to Moody's Investors Service. The rating "reflects the county's still large tax base despite declines stemming from a s i gnificant downturn in the local housing market, moderate socioeconomic indices and high unemployment, prudent financial operations including consistently strong general fund reserves, and also a manageable debt profile," Moody's stated in a Nov. 27 announcement. An Aa2 rating reflects high quality and very low credit risk, according to Moody's. The county bond rating is "one of the best in the state," Wynne said. Ten banks and investment firms are signed up to bid. The winner is the firm that offers to buy the bonds at the highest price, in effect lending the county money, while demanding it pay the lowest debt service, or interest rate, over the life of the bonds, said Nguyen. Wynne briefed the three-member commission Wednesday on the county's over-

all fiscal picture at the conclusion of the first four months of the new fiscal year. Overall, tax delinquencies are down, he said. Property taxes were due Nov. 15, Wynne said. On the investment front, returns on county investments — $117.2 million total in various instruments as of Oct. 31 — are down because of low interest rates. Wynne agreed that the continuing low employment nationwide, as well as uncertainty over deliberations in Washington, D.C., over impending forced tax cuts and spending sequestration, is contributing to continued low rates. On a brighter note, revenue from the county hoteltax is up 12percent, Wynne reported. That money goes to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office to supplement its budget and particularly goes to fund rural patrol, Wynne said. Because tourism is up, hotel tax money is up, too. That revenue reduces the county's contribution to the Sheriff's Office out of the general fund. "The more there is in the room tax, the less we transfer out of the general fund," Wynne said. "This is good."

SALEM — The state was

hoping homeowners facing foreclosure could sit down with a mediator before losing their home. For the most part, that isn't happening. But that doesn't mean homeowners are without a place to turn for help, said Mike Niemeyer of the Oregon Department of Justice said Wednesday. "There's a one-stop shop forforeclosure-related resources," Niemeyer said. The website, oregon homeownersupport.gov, should be an important tool. Homeowners can enter their ZIP codes and discover where they can find housing counselors and other resources near them. There is also a list of resources that have been vetted by the state. "There are a lot of scammers out there," Niemeyer said. But a law that was meant to give homeowners a chance to sit down with their lenders, and which went into effect over the summer, has been largely ineffective. In addition to the law, the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that lenders can't foreclose unless they show a record of mortgage ownership step-by-step in county offices. SeeForeclosure/C2

SALEM — Two lawsuits c hallenging Oregon t a x law have the potential to blow a big hole in the state

budget.

a s ai ina em o revive e er aeuser sawmi The Associated Press DALLAS — A former Weyerhaeuser sawmill in a county that a state economist calls a "poster child" for the decline of the wood products industry is being dismantled, extinguishing faint hopes that somebody would revive it. Talks with several groups interested in running a mill didn't result in a deal to reopen the plant closed in 2009 in the Polk County seat, Dallas, the Salem Statesman Journal reported. "We didn't get any traction with that, and I guess it's not a huge surprise," said Richard

Wayper,vice president of marketing with Northwest Demolition and Dismantling. The company bought the 66-acre site at an August auction for about $1.4 million. It has hired an auctioneer to take bids on equipment until Christmas and expects that by the first quarter of 2013, most of it will be removed. The company plans to tear down some of the structures but hopes to find commercial or industrial users for structures in better condition. A decade ago, about 34,000 Oregonians statewide worked

been dogged by delays and overruns — the $130 million pricetag has reached an estimated $300 million. The new stretch may be ready in 2015.

Secretary of state certifies election SALEM — Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown has made the election results official. Brown certified each county's tally of election results on Wednesday. More than 1.8 million voters cast a ballot this year, just under 83 percent of eligible voters. The highest turnout was in Wheeler County, where 92 percent of the 956 registered voters returned a ballot. The lowest turnout was in Umatilla County at 77 percent.

a man picked up a pint glass at a bar and smashed him. The police told The Oregonian that Officer Pete Dalton was off duty early Saturday when he tried to stop a man from touching women on the dance floor at The Dublin Pub. A p olice affidavit says witnesses told police Dalton didn't touch the man before getting hit w ith th e glass, which shattered. Dalton and then other customers held the man down. When otherofficers arrived, they a r rested 25-year-old Jeffrey Scott Schultze, of Beaverton. He's accused of assault, sex abuse and other

in wood products manufacturing plants. That has shrunk by more than40 percent,to about 19,840. Pat O'Connor, a state regional economist, said Polk County had 1,500 mill jobs in the 1970s. That number dropped to 400 by 2001 and is now fewer than 60. Wages have taken a hit as

well, dropping from an inflation-adjusted average of $65,000 a year in the 1970s to about $36,450 now, O'Connor said. Restrictions to protect endangered species have placed large tracts of federal timber

lands off limits to loggers. O'Connor said factory automation might have played a larger part in job losses than rules to save spotted owls and marbled murrelets. A mill in Lebanon, for example, now produces the same amount of lumber with 140 fewer workers, he said. Jim G eisinger, executive vice president of Associated Oregon Loggers in Salem, said blaming job losses on automation is a "red herring." "Without the timber supply, we can't sustain any jobs," Geisinger said.

Suit saysschool didn't help boy with TDLirette's The Associated Press EUGENE — A federal trial is under way in a lawsuit that accuses Harrisburg s chool officials of failing to protect a middle school boy with Tourette's syndrome from antigay harassment and attacks. The boy's mother testified Tuesday that he was shoved, slapped and taunted by students who perceived his neurological disorder as homosexuality, the Eugene Register-Guard reports. She pulled him out of the seventh grade in 2010 after he was harassed in a locker room. His condition makes him socially awkward, because he doesn't have the same "coping mechanisms or off-the-cuff responses a normal kid has," his mother said. The paper did not identify her to protect the identity of the youth, now 15 and living in Alaska. He sat between his mother and lawyer in court. The lawsuit seeks $250,000. Tourette'ssyndrome is a n eurological d i sorder t h a t typically manifests in early

adolescence,sometimes causing muscle tics and verbal outbursts. The school district's attorney, Karen Vickers, didn't dispute that incidents occurred between the boy and other students. But each involved different alleged perpetrators, she said, so district officials could not have foreseen that they would occur. She also said w i t nesses for the school district would contradict some of the boy's accounts. The district has p olicies,

training and programs designed to discourage such behavior, she said. Vickers reminded the jury of the setting, a public middle school. "These are educators," she said of the defendants. "They want kids to have a positive experience, to get an education — they don't want kids to push each other and shove each otherand mistreat each other...but l et's b e h o nest here. Even if they want kids to treat each other kindly, that doesn't always happen."

Target of briberyprobe wins governmentcontract The Associated Press ASHLAND — An Oregon defense contractorthat has been the focus of a bribery investigation has won a new government contract. The Ashland Daily Tidings reports that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $370,000 contract in September to Sky Research Inc. of Ashland. The company specializes in aerial surveys for unexploded weapons debris on old military bombing and

gunnery ranges.

One suit targets Measure 67 and could open the door for some corporationsto erase or reduce their higher tax bills from the 3-yearold ballot measure. The other lawsuit challenges an o bscure state tax law that has resulted in higher taxes for some multistate corporations. T he price tag fo r t h e Measure 67 case is low by budget standards: about $6 million to $12 million a year after an initial hit of $20 million in refunds for prior years. But legislative analysts project that losing the other case, filed by Health Net Inc., would cost the state about $100 million a year in lostrevenue, plus refunds. Health Net, a Californiabased insurance company w ith o perations i n O r egon, filed the case in July in the Oregon Tax Court. The company argues that a multistate tax compact that Oregon joined in the 1960s trumps newer state laws that differ from it. The provisions of the multistate compact would be more f avorable to H ealth N et — and many other businesses in Oregon — than the newer state law.

Tax-credit case

In the Measure 67 case, ConWay Inc. argues that it should be allowedtouse a business energy tax credit to offset its tax liability, which rose from $10 to $75,000 once the tax measure passed.The stateargues that the corporate minimum tax is a tax floor that should be paid regardless of any offsetting tax credits. The state tax court ruled in favor of Con-way, a Michiganbased trucking company with operations in Portland. The state has appealed. State Rep. Vicki Berger, a Salem Republican, said she'll introduce legislation to clarify that tax credits can be used to offset corporate minimum taxes hiked under Measure 67.

he Bend Park 8 Recreation District voted for no new fees at its meeting Tuesday night. But park fees are still set to automatically increase. They should not. The park district collects system development charges, or SDCs, on new residential development within the district. It can use that money only to develop parks and trails that are necessary for growth. Most people never get a bill for SDCs. The fees are embedded in the cost of new housing. In 2009, the board set its SDCs for the next few years. The fees started at $3,507 for a s inglefamily home, $3,147 for a multifamily dwelling, and $1,386 for a hotel/motel guest room. Those levels are about 56 percent of the full amount that the board calculated it would need to maintain park services with an increasing population. The board could have voted to collect the full amount. But as you know, Central Oregon's economy was stuttering along in2009 and the board decided collecting the full fee "was not practical at the time." The board decided to gradually ramp up the fee, effective July 1, 2010, and on each successive

July 1 by $663 for a single-family dwelling, $658 for a multi-family dwelling unit and $274 for a hotel/motel guest room, until the fees reach 100 percent. So thefees have been marching up essentially automatically every July 1. The park board has calculated it has forgone collection of at least $1.2 million in SDCs by not collecting the full amount. The board decided to take no action Tuesday night. As you surely noticed, there may be signs of improvement in Central Oregon, but it doesn't feel like the recession has lifted. The population of Bend has also grown just slightly from July 1, 2011, to July 1 this year — from 76,925peopleto 77,455,according to Portland State University estimates. The park board did the right thing in 2009 to recognize the state of Central Oregon's economy. Voters also have shown their faith in the district by passing its $29 million bond in November. With the economy the way it is, SDC increases should not be on autopilot.

Congressmenseek fix for Gl Bill housingsubsidies

ome veterans attending the Oregon Institute of Technology in Wilsonville on the GI Bill are paying for housing in that expensive urban area while being reimbursed as if they were living in rural Klamath Falls, more than 250 miles away. That means they're being shorted about $7,000 per year, according to a complaint from several members of Oregon's congressional delegation. The problem is the Veterans Administration's decision to base housing reimbursements on where the college's administrative offices are, not where the students attend classes and live. A letter asking for resolution of the problem was sent to the VA by Sens. Ron Wyden and JeffMerkley and Reps. Kurt Schrader and Greg Walden. The letter says that previously, the VA suggested solving the problem by having the college establish duplicate administrative centers at each location where students attend classes. The congressional letter said OIT estimates the cost for just one such center in Wilsonville

at close to $1million peryear on top of $250,000 in startup costs. That's $1.25 million to enable the VA to pay more for housing allowances without changing its procedures. We know the VA is a big operation and change doesn't come easily. But even so, this seems extreme. In response to The Bulletin's r equest for c omment, the VA emailed: "The Department received the letter on Dec. 4 and will provide a formal response to the members of Congress. We appreciate Congress' ongoing support of the Post-9/11 GI Bill program." The $7,000 estimate is based on the Department of Defense Basic Allowance for Housing. While the OIT case involves paying too small a housing allowance, the congressmen point out that there are likely other cases where the VA is paying too much rather than too little. That would occur if the satellite campus werein a lower-cost area than the administrative center. The lawmakers urge the VA to ensure students get the correct housing subsidy based on where they are studying and living. Good idea.

Giving in on taxes may lead Republicans to a truly grand bargain ometimes you have to w a lk through the desert to get to the Promised Land. That's the way it is for Republicans right now. The Republicans are stuck in a m iserable position at the end of 2012, but, if they handle things right, they can make 2013 an excellent year — both for their revival prospects and for the country. First, they have to acknowledge how badly things are stacked against them. Polls show that large majorities of Americans are inclined to blame Republicans if the country goes off the "fiscal cliff." The business community, which needs a deal to boost confidence, will turn against them. The national security types and the defense contractors, who hate the prospect of sequestration, will turn against them. Moreover a budget stalemate on these terms will confirm every bad Republican stereotype. Republicans will be r aising middle-class taxes in order to serve the rich — shafting Sam's Club to benefit the country

club. So Republicans have to realize that they are going to cave on tax rates. The only question is what they get in return. What they should demand is this: that the year 2013 will be spent putting together a pro-growth tax and entitlement reform package that will put this country on a sound financial footing through 2040. Republicans should go to the White House and say they are willing to see top tax rates go up to 36 percent or 37 percent and they are willing to forgo a debt-ceiling fight for this year. This is a big political concession, but it's not much of an economic one. President Barack Obama needs rate increases to show the liberals he has won a "victory," but the fact is that raising revenue by raising rates is not that much worse for the economy than raising revenue by closing loopholes, which Republicans have already conceded. In r eturn, R epublicans should also askfor some medium-size entitlement cuts as part of the fiscal

DAVID BROOKS cliff down payment. These could fit within the framework Speaker John Boehner sketched out Monday afternoon: chaining Social Security costof-living increases to price inflation and increasing the Medicare Part B premium to35 percent of costs. But the big demand would be this: that on March 15, 2013, both parties would i n t roduce l eader-endorsed tax and entitlement reform bills in Congress that would bring the debt down to 60percent of GDP by 2024 and 40 percent by 2037, as scored by the Congressional Budget Office. If a grand bargain is not reached by Dec. 15, 2013, then there would be automatic defense and entitlement cuts and automatic tax increases. Both parties say they are earnest about fundamental tax and entitlement reform. This deal would force

them to think beyond the 10-year budget window and pu t c r edible plans on the table to address the longterm budget problems while there is still time. The ensuing debate would force voters to face the elemental truth — that they can only have a government as big as they are willing to pay for. Republicans could say to the country: Hey, we don't like raising tax rates. But we understand that when a nation is running a $16 trillion debt that is exploding year by year, everybody has to be willing to make compromises andsacrifi ces. We understand that the big thing holding the country back is that the political system doesn't function. We want to tackle big things right now. The year 2013 would then be spent on natural Republican turf (tax and entitlement reform) instead of natural Democratic turf (expanding government programs). Democrats would have to submit a long-term vision for the country that either reduced entitlement benefits or raised mid-

dle-class taxes, violating Obama's

campaign pledge. Republicans would have to face their own myths and evasions, and become a true reform and modernization party. The 2012 concession on tax rates would be overshadowed by the 20D debate on the fiscal future. The world would see that the United States is tackling its problem in a way that Europe isn't. Political power in each party would shift from the doctrinaire extremists to t h e p r actical dealmakers. Besides, th e i n e v itable p a ckage would please Republicans. The House would pass a conservative bill. The Senate would pass a center-left bill. The compromise between the two would be center-right. It's pointless to cut a short-term deal if entitlement programs are still structured to bankrupt our children. Republicans and Democrats could make 20D the year of the truly Grand

Bargain. — David Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times.

A Jefferson County Sheriff's Department statement says Brooks died Tuesday night at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont after a sudden illness. Deputy Rod Carroll says Brooks, who would have turned 90 on Dec. 18, was surrounded by family when he died. Brooks was among the last links to an era when Democrats domi n ated Texas and national politics. He first took office when legendary f e llow T e x an Sam Rayburn was House speaker and Lyndon Johnson was Senate majority leader. Brooks was in the Dallas motorcade Nov. 22, 1963, w hen President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Brooks, first elected to the House in his far Southeast Texas district in 1952, was returned tooffice 20 more times and was on the verge of becoming the dean of th e U .S.

Dave Brubeck,91, a legend who helped to define jazz By Ben Ratliff New York Times News Service

Dave Brubeck, a pianist and composer whose distinctive mixture of experimentation and accessibility made him one of the most popular jazz musicians of the 1950s and '60s, died W ednesday morning i n Norwalk, Conn. He would have turned 92 today. He died while on his way to a c a rdiology appointment, Russell Gloyd, his producer, conductor and manager for 36 years, said. Brubeck lived in W i lton, Conn. In a long and successful career, Brubeck helped repopularize jazz at a time when younger listeners had been trained to the sonic dimensions of the three-minute pop single. His quartet's 1959 recording of " T ake Five" was the first jazz single to sell a million copies. Brubeck e x perimented with time signatures and polytonality and explored m usical theater and t h e oratorio, baroque compositional devices and foreign modes. But he did not always please the critics, who often described his music as schematic, bombastic and — a word he particularly disliked — stolid. His very s tubbornness and strangeness — the polytonality, the blockiness of his playing, the oppositional push-and-pull between his piano and Paul Desmond's alto saxophone — makes the Brubeck quartet's best work still sound original.

One-third of W ashington's young adults ages 18 to 25 have used marijuana in the past year, according to a national study. They're almost three times more likely than the general population to have used pot in the last year. An increaseinuseamong young adults "really is hard to predict since we have not had a precedent like this," said Jason Kilmer, assistant director of health and wellness for alcohol and drug education at the University of Washington and a research assistant professor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences. Washington col l eges and universities have been quick to emphasize that pot is still not welcome on campus, no matter what the new state law says. Institutions that receive federal money must keep a drugfree campus, in accordance with federal law that makes pot illegal. And a student caught with marijuana can be subject to disciplinary action. O ne r esearcher w h o thinks use will increase is Roger Roffman, a principal supporter of 1-502 and a professor emeritus at the University of Washington who has studied marijuana use and dependency for nearly 30 years. "Here's my guess: Over the next years, we will see greater c u r iosity a b o ut marijuana, among t hose particularly in that (young adult) age range," Roffman said. "Curiosity will lead more people to use it who otherwise wouldn't have." One federal study also hints at a possible uptick in use among young adults when marijuana becomes legal.

Meandering serenelythrough meadows and pine trees southwest of Sunriver, the Fall River is a summertime oasis for Central Oregon fly anglers. But in the w i nter, the river becomes even more important for those anglers, as it is one of the few reliable streams to fish in the region through the cold-weather months. "It fishes well all the way through December, January, February and March," says Bob Gaviglio, owner of the Sunriver

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELESotre Dame senior linebacker Manti Te'o is not going to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night. Texas AgtM quarterback Johnny Manziel is poised to become the first freshman to win in the award's 78-year history. Te'o will finish second ahead of Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein. This isn't Nate Silver accurate, but a straw poll of 11 voters conducted by the website HeismanPundit.com has Manziel winning comfortably. Manziel garnered eight firstplace votes; Te'o received one.

By VikasBajajand Ken Belson New York Times News Service

MUMBAI, India — On a recent Saturday morning, nearly 20 players from the Mumbai Gladiators football team went through their weekly drills and scrimmage at the popular Juhu Beach, in the suburbs north of this sprawling city of 14 million Dressed in red T-shirts and black shorts, the players engaged in a 90-minute practice that resembled a touch football game among friends rather than a gathering of professionals chasing dreams of fame and fortune. Elderly people

and families out for walks appeared confused as they passed by. One couple approached the men to ask what game they

were playing. So it goes for the hundreds of athletes trying to catch on with the Elite Football League of India, a new and curious venture aimed at introducing American football to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other countries in Asia. It is a perhaps quixotic undertaking, but it could prove to be lucrative should the game become popular within the vast population of potential fans. SeeIndia /D4

Knni Takahanht /The New York Times

Members of the Mumbai Gladiators,a professional football team, practice during an offseason workout on Juhu Beach in Mumbai, India, in October because the team does not have its own field. The Elite Football League of India has a low level of play but a large potential audience.

Portland's J.J. Hickson posts upagainst lndiana's David West in the second half of Wednesday night's game jn lndianapolis. The Pacers defeated the Trail Blazers 99-92.

rai Bazersen roa tri wit oss to Pacers The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — A few different versions of P a ul George have been showing up lately for the Indiana Pacers. The dominant one made an appearance Wednesday night against Portland. George scored 22 points to help Indiana beat the Trail Blazers 99-92 on Wednesday night. George, Indiana's No. 2 scorer this season, has been inconsistent. He scored four points at S acramento and went scoreless at G o lden State before exploding for 34 points at Chicago on Tuesday night. He followed that by scoring 14 of his 22 points in the second half against the Trail Blazers. The q u estion r e m ains whether the talented 22-yearold is just teasing the Pacers with the back-to-back strong efforts. "You just watch him and some of the shots that he's making and youthink, 'Boy, if he could ever stabilize and do this on a consistent basis,'" Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. G eorge d o esn't w o r r y about the consistency issue as much as Vogel does. "I don't look at it like that anymore," George said. "I just come out and play. I feel like I' m p r eparing myself well enough to just go out and play, take the shots that are there and be confident in those shots." George Hill added 18 points and David West had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Pac-

and he's a special talent and he has a bright future ahead ofhim." Wesley Matthews scored 19, LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and J.J. Hicksonhad 14points and 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers. Portland was solid in the first half then played poorly in the third quarter before finishing strong. "We've been playingup and down, kind of going through spurts," Aldridge said. "If I knew why we were playing like that, I could fix it." Indiana outscored Portland 31-14 in the third quarter to take control. The Trail Blazers made a push in the fourth but could get no closer than four. "It seemed like we were on our heels and weren't aggressive," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "They were much more aggressive." H ickson's tip-in a t th e buzzer gave the Blazers a 5048 lead at halftime. Lillard had 14 points at the break for Portland. Indiana opened the second half on a 6-0 run to take a 54-50 lead. West's putback in the final seconds of the third quarter gave Indiana a 79-64 lead entering the fourth. Indiana held Portland to sevenfor-19 shooting in the third. George, who had eight points in the first half, scored nine in the quarter. George picked up where he left off, draining a 3-pointer from the corner in the opening minute of the fourth to give the Pacers an 18-point

four of five and moved above .500 for the first time since a 2-1 start. Indiana, the league leader in s coring defense, held the Blazers to 43 percent shooting. "We guarded," Vogel said. "We try to take pride in being the best defensive team in the NBA and we got after it. By getting stops we were able to get out and break a little bit and get some easy baskets." Damian Lillard led Portland (8-11) with 23 points. Though th e P a cers w e re strong defensively overall, they had no answer for the rookie, who constantly blew past his defenders. "He was the focal point of our defense tonight," Vogel said. "We knew we had to contain Lillard and he still got off on us. He had a great night

Portland battled back in the early minutes of the fourth. Matthews hit two free throws to trim Indiana's lead to 85-79 and Lillard added a layup to make it 85-81. But Indiana regrouped. A drive by George and a lastsecond dish for a dunk by Hill gave Indiana a 93-86 lead with just over four minutes remaining. Portland had a chance to cut Indiana's lead to three, but Roy H i bbert blocked Hickson's shot and pulled in the rebound with 50 seconds to play. "It was a nice effort at the end, but we just can't put ourselves in those positions," Stotts said.

Jeff Keppinger, Joe B lanton, Jason Bay a n d a diamond full of players wound up in different places Wednesday at the winter meetings while top contenders waited for a pair of free-agentprizes to make their decisions. Eric Chavez, Randy Choate and Sean Burnett also joined new teams. The lone trade was minor, with Detroit sending l eft-hander Andy Oliver to Pittsburgh for a young catcher. Former MVP Josh Hamilton and former Cy Young Award winner Zack Grei nke remained i n p l a y . They'rethe driving forces in this market and depend-

ing on where they go, more moves are likely to follow. Texas would like to resign Hamilton, at the right price. The slugger was in Nashville this week but has left, and his agent met with Rangers general manager Jon Daniels on Tuesday night. " Obviously, one of t h e bigger dominoes," Daniels said. "Trying to get the first one to fall." New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey keeps drawi ng attention.

Signed for next season, he wants a new contract while several clubs, including B oston, want to trade for the reigning NL Cy Young winner. In the meantime, some deals stayed on deck. No telling if any of them will get done before the meeti ngs end today with t h e Rule 5draft for players left off 40-man rosters. "We w ondered if o n e of the guys went off, (if) it w ould speedup.We'll see," Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said. "It seems like it may be moving a little bit." Also in the mix: Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, amid speculation Arizona is trying to get him in a multi-team swap. All-Star third baseman David Wright of the New Y ork M ets b ecame t h e first player to step up to the brightly lit podium in the press room. Standing at the spot where trades and signings are usually announced, his appearance was expected. Wright was in town to talk about his $138 million, e ight-year c ontract, t h e largest in team history. The lifetime .301 hitter is a sixtime All-Star and turns 30 in two weeks. A Mets fan growing up, Wright said he wanted to spend his entire career with the club. "I'venever pictured myself in a different uniform," he said. "It just feels like there's so much unfinished business and I'd like to finish what I've started," he a d ded. "Honestly, it wouldn't mean as much to m e w i nning somewhere else as it would obviously winning here." A way f ro m t h e d a i s where Wright spoke, inside the suites at the sprawling 2,881-room hotel, several

Keppinger agreed with the Chicago White Sox on a $12 million, three-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement. The versatile i nfielder htt .325 wrth a career-hrgh n ine home runs and 40 RBIs for Tampa Bay last season. At 32, the well-traveled Keppinger is known for making contact and has more walks than strikeouts during his eight-year career. Keppinger is likely to play third base for the White Sox.

NFL COMMENTARY

For Chiefs, there's still healing to do after player's murder-suicide By Paul Newberry The Assoctated Press

hey played a football game in Kansas City the other day. Even as the headlines fade, the question remains. Was it the right thing to do given the tragedy that happened 24 hours earlier? There's no playbook for this sort of grieving. A Chiefs player killed his girlfriend — the mother of their infant child — then turned the gun on himself in front of the head coach and the general manager. The second half of the murder-suicide took place at the team's training complex, right next door to Arrowhead Stadium. The next day, the Chiefs reported for work in that very stadium for a game against Carolina. Won it, too, for just their second victory of the season. Afterward,everyone talked about the cathartic effect of taking the field — as a team, as a family — in thefaceof such a heinous act. But, really, was it proper to play on? I was downright adamant on the day of the game. No way they should have kicked off. Even got into a spirited debate on social media with some friends. Now, with a couple of days to reflect, time spent talking to several experts on grieving, I can see the value

But the shared experience of sport can't overshadow what the individual is going through. Todd Farchione, a research professor in the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University, said it's easy to understand how everyone got on board with taking the field in Kansas City, even if that wasn't necessarily the way every one ofthem would have handled it. "I can imagine being a fly on the wall in that meeting and hearing all the different perspectives," Farchione said. "Some people, as the decision was being made, probably wanted to do what's best for the team. But people deal with grief in different ways. Some want to get back to work immediately and throw themselves into things they need to do. Others might want to go through a lengthier process, to deal with the loss immediately." After thinking this out, I realize my feelings on what was appropriate this past Sunday aren't so cut and dried. Really, there's no right or wrong when it comes to grieving. All I can say to the Chiefs is this: You won the game as a team, just don't forget to take care of yourself. Talk about it. Cry about it. Grieve about it. That doesn't make you weak. That makes you a man. — Paul Newberryis a national writer for The Associated Press. Write to him at pnewberry@ap.org

Shaw slides over to show a photo of Davis glaring at the one-time assistant coach before a game in Oakland. Anytime "Young Shaw," as Davis called him, relaxed by putting his hands in his pockets, the owner would scream: "Get your hands out of your pockets! You can't coach with your hands in your pockets!" Davis often questioned Shaw, too, just to make sure he knew the answers. Once, he asked for Shaw's opinion on a player the Raiders eventually drafted, and Shaw agreed with most in the room to select that player. A few months later, the Raiders cut ties with the pick, and Davis called out Shaw in a room full of coaches without ever turning his chair around: "Young David, do you understand now why we can't draft players like this? Why we need guys that are faster?" "He could smash you," Shaw said. "But hewanted to see you come back again, poke your chest out and tell him what you believe." There are plenty of other helpful reminders in photos behind Shaw's desk. One is particularly striking: Shaw is with his father, a former NFL and college assistant coach, wearing a generic No. 12 Stanford jersey — the number Lucklaterwore — on picture day in 1975. At that time, Shaw said, people viewed the Cardinal coaching position the same way they did up until a few years ago. "Stanfordused to be referred to me by a couple older coaches as, 'That retirement job,'" Shaw said. "That's the job you go there and retire. You know you're not going to win a lot. But every once in a while you're going to be pretty competitive, but you love the area, you love the kids that you're working with. It's OK." Times have certainly changed.

Continued from D1 "When you first watch the games, it's laughable," said Richard Whelan, one of the founders and co-chief executive of the league. "But if you watch it for more than five minutes, you want to know how it ends. It's an absolute joke compared to the NFL. But it's not a joke compared to anything else on Indian sports television, and that's all we're going up against." India has no indigenous version of football, but many of the players on the beach were successful athletes in other sports, including judo, basketball and k abaddi, a t eam sport in which players hold their breath and grapple with one another. Several Gladiators said they had been only dimly aware of football, though they knew of films like "The Longest Yard" and "Any Given Sunday."None ofthem had played even so much asa down of the game before starting training camp a year ago inMumbai and Pune, about 100 miles to the southeast. " We didn't even know i t w a s called American f ootball," said Linesh Mane, a 24-year-old defensive back and former basketball player. "We thought it was rugby." He added, "It's much more difficult than rugby." The players on the beach were actually on an offseason break, after the league's inaugural season, which was played over about six weeks in the summer and broadcast this fall. The team was working out at the decidedly non-gridiron-like setting because it does not have its own field. Shailesh Devrukhkar, the head coach and a former rugby player and former police commando deployed in sensitive situations like hostage negotiations, expected the team to rent one when it began preparing in earnest for next season, which is expected to begin in the spring.

Investors include Warner Under Whelan's frenzied leadership,the league has raised $8.5 million from investors, including Kurt Warner, the retired NFL quarterback, and Brandon Chillar, a former St. Louis Ram and Green Bay Packer of Indian descent, and he is confident others investors will come on board. To keep costs to a minimum, the league stopped paying its players in the offseason and, in the first season, dispensed with stadiums, tickets, tailgating and other trappings of the American football experience. Instead, the league's eight teams played an entire season's worth of games at a stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which was chosen partly so the Pakistani team could play Indian teams without traveling to India. Hourlong tapes of each game were shown on television over a three-month period. The Elite Football League of India will ditch that strategy in its second season, when games in several Indian cities will be televised live. Despite the low level of play, the league's founders claim that millions of people are interested in American sports and will watch if Indians and Pakistanis are competing, even though most Indians do not even know the league exists and cricket remains far and away the most popular sport in the country. Whelan and his partners are not the first to try to promote Western sports in India, where most schools and colleges give short shrift to athletics. The NBA opened an office in Mumbai last year and has sent stars like Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol to the country to promote the game. It recently signed a new broadcast deal to have its games shown in the country. The NFL is still trying to secure a television deal, but it sells a subscription-based online package for fans who want to watch games. Still, interest in and spending on sportsranging from soccer to Formula Oneracing appear to be growing. At the London Olympics, India won six medals, the most ever, and its returning medalists were greeted like conquering heroes and have become national celebrities. Generating excitement about a sport that people see on television, but do not play in their towns is another matter. The league requires its players to visit schools each week to promote the game, but turning those efforts into a profit may take years. "The biggest challenge we faced was educating people about the rules, as it can be very complex game," said Oliver Luck, the former commissioner of NFL Europe, which folded

Outlaws Continued from D1 "We beat them with free throws," said Horner, whose team went 18 of 27 from the line. "That was the key tothe game. We weren't real quick with our first step but we did a good job trying to get to the line." Kendall Current paced the Panthers (1-1) with 12 points and Shelby Bergum added seven, but Redmond struggled from the free throw line, connecting on just six of 19 foul

in 2007. "Men don't grow up playing the game, sothere's no reservoir of knowledge to tap into." Ultimately, Luck said, fans want to see high-quality competition, no matter what the game, and in India that means cricket. The EFLI did not help itself with its low-key start. There were few major events to mark the first season, and Indian newspapers and television stations have given it sparse coverage.

Growing fan interest Venkat Ananth, a sports columnist in India for Yahoo, said he only learned of the league while switching channels on his TV. Ananth said he found the game interesting, but added that the league would not gain much of an audience unless it started playing games in Mumbai and other large cities and perhaps bringing NFL players and teams here for exhibition games. "You can't impose a sport on the Indian audience," he said. "You have to build it up. Bring your stars here, play one of those games like they do in England. Otherwise, there is no point." One potential audience could be the tens of thousands of young people who have spent time in the United States. Amit Paranjape, a 41-year-oldsoftware entrepreneur who studied at the University of Wisconsin and lived in Dallas for 12 years,is a fan ofthe Packers and the Cowboys. He was excited when he learned about the league but was disappointed that none of the games would be played in Pune, where he lives and which has an EFLI team, the Marathas. Later, he found the league's games on television, but he said he changed the channel after a few plays because the level of competition was less compelling than an American high school football game. "It was like a bad dream," he sa>d. Indeed, in EFLI g ames, quarterbacks frequently throw wobbly passes thatare often dropped or intercepted. In a game between the Gladiators and the Colombo Lions, a Lions running back who apparently thought he had reached the end zone spiked the ball on the 4yard line. One of his teammates recoveredthe balland scored, but the Lions missed the extra point. A Gladiators receiver then fumbled the ball on the ensuing kickoff. Whelan and others at the EFLI are betting that the weak play will be overshadowed by th e stories off the field. To that end, they have hired Ed Goren and Sandy Grossman, who produced NFL games for decades. G rossman s ai d t he lea g u e planned to add more pageantry to its broadcasts and was talking with executives in Bollywood, which is famous for producing movies featuring lavish dance scenes. For now, he is focused on teaching his staff where to point the cameras. "I had to talk to a lot of different crews who had never seen football before," he said. But "the guys playing, what they lack in quality of play, they make up in enthusiasm."

'Jerry Rice of India' Many players found the sport by chance. Rahul Kelaskar, a 24-yearold wide receiver for the Gladiators, was recruited when Whelan spotted him working at a hotel in Mumbai. Kelaskar is 6-foot-5 but weighs 125 pounds, earning him the nickname Sticks from his coaches. Despite knowing little about the sport and over the opposition of his parents, with whom he lives, Kelaskar quithis 30,000-rupee a-month ($555) job at the hotel to join the Gladiators, who pay their players about 15,000 rupees ($277) a month. Despite the league's shaky prospects,Kelaskar dreams of becoming "the Jerry Rice of India" and is convinced that he made the right choice. Still, Mane and several teammates said they were concerned that the league had not played exhibition games and taken other steps to market the game. "You need to have a promotions strategy," said Preetesh Balyaya, a 26-year-old offensive lineman on the Gladiators. He said he still believed in the league's founders and did not mind not being paid in the offseason. Unlike many other players, Balyaya has a family business to return to if football does not pan out. "Money is not a big thing," he said. "You can't run behind money. You have to run behind passion."

shots.The Panthers outscored Sisters 25-21 in the second half, but it was not enough to erase an 11-point halftime deficit. "For us, we don't have a lot of kids with a lot of playing experience," Redmond coach A n gela Capps said. "We even had some sophomore kids in there tonight. But they're only going to get better from that experience." Both Central Oregon squads are back on the court Friday. Sisters plays at Eugene's Churchill High, and Redmond hosts Sweet Home.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Wrestling Continued from 01 Ironically, arguably the area'stop wrestler,Boomer Fleming, will be wearing the singlet of a program with zero wrestling history or tradition. "We're trying to build a foundation," says Dan Elliott, wrestling coach at Ridgeview High in Redmond, who is guiding Fleming and the Ravens during the school's first year. "We want to get as many kids as possible to the state tournament, but our biggest concentration is on development. We're really, really

green. Our biggest goal is to bring along the inexperienced kids and be in a position to be competitive at the end of the year." Fleming, who as a sophomore at Redmond High last season won the 6A state title at 160 pounds, plans to be more than just competitive. After playing football at 190 pounds this fall — he was a standout running back for the Ridgeview football team — Fleming figures to wrestle at 182 pounds this winter. Competing at the 4A level this year, Fleming is hoping to become the Ravens' first state champion in any sport. "Boomer's the one you want to build around," Elliott says. "He's a great kid and a tremendous wrestler. He really brings a lot of class into the (wrestling) room." Fleming is just one of several Central Oregon wrestlers who could make state title runs this season. Crook County, which sent a school-record 22 wrestlers to the 4A state tournament last February en route to a fourth-place finish, brings back 17 wrestlers with state experience. Eight Cowboy freshmen qualified for the 2012 4A state t ournament, four o f w h o m advanced to the championship semifinal round. Colbran Meeker was the runner-up at 126 pounds, Trayton Libolt finished third at 103, Alex Urrea was fourth at 145, and Brendan Harkey took fifth at 138. All are back for Crook County this winter. "We always have big expectations at Crook County," Cowboys coach Jake Huffman says. "Nothing's really changed there. But I'd say we're going to focus more on the individual, try to really develop each wrestler and not get so hung up on team goals. We do that and the other stuff will take care of itself." Crook County has just three s eniors this season, but a l l have been battle tested at state. Dean Smith placed fourth at 160 pounds in 2012, Dawson Barber is a two-time state participant, and transfer Gunner Crawford took sixth at the 5A tourney at 170 pounds last year wrestling for Bend High. With enough depth to help offset the lack of seniors, the Cowboys should contend with reigning state champion Cascade, Henley and Sweet Home, among others, for the 2013 4A team title. "It sure m akes challenge matches a heck of a lot more interesting," Huffman says about a Crook County wrestlingroom stacked with state-level competition. "It's a great advantage to have, but it can be pretty stressful on the kids. They have to fight for their job every week. But it's a great problem to have as a coach." M adras s e n io r Mig u e l Vasquez also expects to be one of the top wrestlers in 4A after ending the last two seasons one win away from a state champi-

Fall River Continued from 01 The Fall River — which is restricted to fly angling with barbless hooks — flows east for eight miles from its headwaters before emptying into the Deschutes River. Along with the Deschutes, Crooked and Metolius rivers in Central Oregon, the Fall River remains fishable year-round. The spring-fed river offers consistent flows and temperatures but is, naturally, decidedly cooler in the winter.

Gaviglio suggests anglers try fishing at the headwaters, where the water is actually a bit warmer, perhaps making for more active fish. "It's exceptionally clear and a little shallower, so you've got to be a little more stealthy when fishing up on that end," Gaviglio says, adding t h at in the clear water the fish do see anglers approaching. "If they're not in deep holes and such, they're very much aware of what's going on. You can't

Continued from 01 Defensemaywin championships, but, in college, it always settles for the Bronko N agurski Trophy. A t r u e defensive player again will be denied the Heisman, allegedly given to the nation's most outstanding player. C ornerback Ch ar l e s Woodson won for Michigan in 1997, but he also played receiver a n d ret u r n ed kicks. The truth is, the Heisman skews heavily in favor of players who score touchdowns. When might a defenseonly player win? "I don't think it will ever happen," Chris H ouston, who operates HeismanPundit, said this week. "It's not that voters don't like defensive players.

• Chance Lindquist, sr., Redmond:Lindquist, who has taken third at state the past two years at the Class 6A state championships, could contend for a 5A title this season. One of11 state qualifiers for the Panthers last season, Lindquist won the consolation bracket at138 pounds at the 2012 6A championships.

onship. Vasquez took second at 125 pounds in 2011 and was the state runner-up at 132 pounds this past winter. While Crook County fights for the top spot in 4A, Culver looks to maintain its reign at 2A/IA. The Bulldogs, who have won every 2A/IA s tate title since the state went from sponsoring three wrestling state tournaments to five at the start of the 2006-07 school year, are strong again this season with two returning state champions. Senior Jared Kasch will try to become the 25th Oregon high s chool wrestler ever to w i n four state titles, and sophomore Tucker Davis looks to contend for state again after winning the 2012 2A/IA f i nal at 120 pounds. Culver will be without standout junior Noe Gonzalez,

casting to, (in case) there is a fish around. You can't be that brazen." But for those anglers careful enough not to spook the fish, the clearwater can be used to theiradvantage, and they can spot their quarry before casting. Many anglers on the Fall River will "sight fish," finding a visible trout in the river and then casting to that fish. This can often help fishermen tempt the larger trout in the river. (Fall River is home to rainbow trout as big as 4 to 6 pounds, and brown trout up to

8 pounds.) "A lot of those bigger fish you don't see until you hook a smaller one," Gaviglio says, explaining that the big fish can get excited and chase a smaller fish that is hooked. The Fall River Fish Hatche ry i s p r obably t h e m o st popular stretch to fish during the winter because it is so ac-

Alley says about Kasch's quest for backto-back-to-back-to-back st ate titles. "Some people say since the r e classification, t h i n gs have been watered down and it's easier to win four titles than before. "That's hogwash," Alley argues. "To try to do the same thing, on the fourth weekend in February for four years in a row, you've got to be on the top of your game. A lot of things besides wrestling have to go right in your life. You have to be healthy, injury free, you have to pass English class and make weight. You just don't have a

For anglers not sight fishing, G aviglio r e commends fishing in spots along the river with lots of cover: structures like logs or rocks, where trout feel safe because they cannot be seen. Such covered areas abound on the Fall River, including many downed pine trees that provide cover for the browns and rainbows. "Anywhere water is moving into logs and then slowly coming over the top of logs, that movement itself can push

(bugs) off the logs," Gaviglio

says. "If you're doing streamers or n y mphs underneath logs, let them drift through in those areas. There's going to be bigger fish sitting in those

The Panthers, who placed seventh at the 2012 6A tourney, return seven state qualifiers from a year ago, including senior Chance Lindquist, who took third in 2011 at 119 pounds and third again last season at 138 pounds. Sophomore J.T. Ayers looks to make the state finals again for Mountain View after finishing second at 106 pounds at the 2012 championship tournament. And Summit's Joaquin Reyes is back for his senior year following a third-place state effort at 170 pounds last season. — Reporter:541-383-0305, beastes@bendbulletin.com.

places." Fall River anglers typically catch more fish in the wintertime when nymphing (fishing with small, sinking flies), because trout will be more lethargic in cold water and less likely to swim to the surface to take a dry fly. But anglers can land fish on dry flies on the Fall River in the winter, usually during a small time window in the afternoon. "You'll maybe have a halfhour of f i s hing emergers," Gaviglio says. "A lot of guys will use duns and trail small emergers off of those." The fly shop owner also suggests using streamers, a type of wet fly that imitates a minnow or bait fish.

Right now the deer and elk are moving down out of the high country onto their winter range. Some of the best wildlife watching in Central Oregon is along the Crooked River on the road to Post and Paulina. To observe geese, ducks and other waterfowl as well as the raptors that prey on them, watch the weather and plan a day at the Prineville Reservoir Management Area.

IN BRIEF Citigroup to cut 11,000 positions Citigroup announced Wednesday that it would

cut11,000 jobs, reducing its workforce by

roughly4 percent, in an effort to reduce costs. The bank said it would take a pretax

charge of roughly $1 billion for the cuts. Underthe reduction, 1,900 jobs will be eliminated in the institutional clients division.

Another 6,200 positions will be removed from

the bank's consumer banking business, along with 2,600 jobs in the

operations and technology group. The reductions at Citigroup come after the

As the nation gets close to plunging over the metaphorical fiscal cliff, triggering what could be massive tax increases and spending cuts in January, scores of businesses are taking steps to soften the landing for their shareholders. More than 100 companies nationwide are paying dividends in advance this year so their investors won't get taxed more heavily for the money

next year. And experts believe the number of firms jumping on the early-dividend bandwagon is bound to increase. "We're going to see an avalanche," said Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst with Standard & Poor's. "It's a no-brainer. If I'm a shareholder and you don't do that, you're going to hear from me." But the rush to pay dividends before the end ofthe year drew fire from one liberal-leaning tax reform group. "This is just the masters of

the universe taking care of each other," complained Rebecca Wilkins, senior counsel at Citizens for Tax Justice, a Washington, D.C., research group that has been critical of corporate tax practices under current law. "It's pure self-interest." While paying dividends early poses little financial problem forcorporations, she added, it will be "detrimental to the U.S. Treasury." The fiscal cliff refers to the year-end expiration of

2003 legislation that cut taxes, reducing the rate for dividendsfrom 38.6percent to 15 percent. Unless Congress and President Barack Obama work out a compromise, the rate will rise again. And that change — coupled with a surcharge also set to go into effect in January to help pay for Obama's health care law — would boost the dividend tax rate for the county's highest earners to 43.4 percent, experts say. SeeDividends/E4

bank's powerful chairman, Michael O'Neill,

named a handpicked successor, Michael Corbat, according to

several people close to the bank.

Productivity up in third quarter U.S. businesses produced goods and services more efficiently in the third quarter than originally believed,

costs down. The ability of compa-

nies to keepcosts corralled makes it easier for the Federal Reserve to continue efforts to prop up the economy without stirring inflation, a good thing for bondholders. Yet it also reflects the

reluctance of business to hire or raise wages in a slow-growing economy,giving unemployed for consumers to sharply boost spending.

Wal-Mart

deciined to fund factory upgrades By Arun Devnath Bloomberg News

At a meetingconvened in 2011 to boost safety at Bangladesh garment factories, Wal-Mart Stores

made a call: paying suppliers moretohelp them upgrade their manufacturing facilities was too costly. The comments from a Wal-Mart sourcing director appear in minutes of the meeting, which was attended by more than a dozen retailers including Gap, Target and JC Penney. Details of the meeting have emerged after a fire at a Bangladesh factory that made clothes for WalMart and Sears killed more than 100 people last month. The blaze has renewed pressure on companies to improve working conditions in Bangladesh, where more than 700 garment workers have died since 2005, according to the International Labor Rights Forum, a Washington-based advocacy group. At the meeting in Dhaka, the Bangladesh capital, in April 2011, retailers discussed a contractually enforceablememorandum that would require them to pay Bangladesh facto-

The shopping center at Sunriver has gone through a carousel of ownership changes and stalled development plans over the last six years. But developers of The Village at Sunriver are feeling confident about a rebound in the economy and building market. Now they're continuing a multi-year plan to revitalize the resort' s nearly 40-year-old shopping core. Construction has started on a new, 8,000square-foot retail building. Crews started digging a foundation for the new building in late November. And

it could be ready for tenants next spring or summer, said Deanese Schiffman, operations manager with The

Village. The project will replace the old Village Bar and Grill building, which was demolished in June as the bar and grill moved into a recently completed building. The new project has a $794,600 price tag, according to a permit issued Nov. 28 by the Deschutes County Community Development Department. "We're starting a marketing effort for the building now," Schiffman said. She said The Village has been contacted by potential tenants, but would not provide details.

The building would have space for up to five businesses. Village officials will decide how to divide the building

based on how many groups prove to be a good fit for the area. "The hope is to have it filled by the time (construction) is done," Schiffman said. The completion of the new building will put The Village near the halfway point of its multi-year overhaul plan, Schiffman said. The shopping area could add several more buildings in the coming years, based on the market and interest from businesses, she said. See Sunriver /E4

to covercosts of safety improvements. Sridevi Kalavakolanu, a WalMart director of ethical sourcing, told attendees the company wouldn't share the cost, according to Ineke Zeldenrust, international coordinator for the Clean Clothes Campaign, whoattended the gathering. Kalavakolanu and her counterpart at Gap reiterated their position in a report folded into the meeting minutes, obtained by Bloomberg News. "Specifically to the issue of any corrections on electrical and fire safety, we are talking about 4,500 factories, and in most cases very extensive and costly modifications would need to be undertaken to some factories," they said in the document. "It is not financially feasible for the brands to make such investments." PVH Corp., which owns the Tommy Hilfiger brand, and German retailer Tchibo signed the memorandum earlier this year. Gap, which has pledged funding for safety improvements and hired a chief fire safety inspector, had been in negotiations to sign the agreement. See Factories /E3

Sunriver Continued from E1 More than 70 businesses and organizations operate out of 17 buildings at The Village under its current

design. Developers don't h ave an overall goal for the size of the mall. But additional space exists on the north end of the 14-acre property for new buildings, Schiffman said. Owners of The Village at Sunriver have been talking about a comprehensive r edevelopment effort f o r the last five years. Those discussions preceded the p urchase of the mall by its current owners, Salem building companies Curry Architecture and Colson & Colson Construction Co. The companies bought the outdoor shopping mall in December 2008, from Salem development group SilverStar Des t i nations LLC. That group's investors included Jon Harder, former CEO of Sunwest Management, which is no longer in business. Harder is now facing federal charges stemming from allegations that he defrauded investors out of $DO million relating to Sunwest's development of assisted living communities in the years leading up to the real estate crash.

Whether or not a child is a star athlete, a foundation in sports as a youngster can help nurture a healthy, active adult life. Parents play a vital role in a child's sports experience. But parenting a young athlete is more art than science, and information about how to fulfill that role is largely missing in the world of youth athletic development, according to John O'Sullivan, a father of twoand former executive director of the

"And its flavor is hard not to like, since it's essentially flavorless," said Mohning, who not only recommends the seed to her client groups but also uses it at home with her 4-year-old son, who has egg and other allergies.

s 2014 nears, some who buy their own health insurance should prepare for big

changes. The federal Affordable Care Act is poised to change how much health insurance costs. It's a subject that individuals and small businesses will hear more and more about in the coming months, as insurance agents reach out to their clients and as efforts ramp up to promote a new online health insurance marketplace. As it stands today, young, more affluent and healthy individuals who buy their own insurance are more likely to see their monthly premiums go up under health care reform. Those with lower incomes or more healthissues are expected to fare better in the new system. A recent report commissioned by the state to assess the effect of health reform estimated that without intervention, the price increase for individuals going into 2014 will be about 38 percent. The projection for small businesses, which will be required to

offer insurance if they have 50 or more employees, is amore modest 4 percent. These percentages are on top of whatever annual price increases health insurers would levy on customers anyway in the absence of the Affordable Care Act. Yet how insurance prices will actually play out depends on many factors, and price changes aren't expected to be drastic for all. Dollars will be available to make insurance cheaper for certain populations. The same report also estimates that half of individuals who currently buy their own insuranceand nearly 75 percent of those presently uninsured will be eligible for tax credits to help cushionthe costofcoverage. Also, other efforts are already under way to rein in price increases before they ever come to fruition. "We're working on making it a soft landing rather than a hard landing," said Rocky King, executive director of the now-forming insurance marketplace called Cover Oregon. SeePremiums/F2

So, where did this superseed come from, and what is in it, exactly? It originated in Mexico and Guatemala, says Wayne Coates, author of "Chia: The Complete Guide to the Ultimate Superfood." It is also grown in Australia and Bolivia, in areas fairly close to the equator. But the United States does not have the right type of climate conditions to grow the superseed — at least not yet, he says. "Maybe through breeding in the future, but not at the moment," he said. And the nutritional content'? One tablespoon of whole chia seeds contains 60 calories, 4 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein and 2.4 grams of omega-3. It also has 64 milligrams of calcium and 40 milligrams of magnesium. In other words, two or three tablespoons of chia equal one large egg in terms of protein, and one tablespoon of chia has the same amount of omega-3 you would get in four ounces of salmon. SeeChia/F3

The long-term hope, experts say, is that the various reform efforts in the coming years will stabilize health costs, including those for insurance. "It's not going to happen in 2014," said Patrick O 'Keefe, an a g ent w h o owns Cascade Insurance Center in Bend and is serving on several state boards relating to health reform. "But if we can just turn that rudder a little bit, I'm hopeful that in the coming years we'll be able to change the way we do things."

right side of the page.

Experts say there are several factors expected to put pressure on health insurance premiums for these individu-

als and small groups going into 2014. First, the Affordable Care Act requires a minimum level for what all insurance companies must cover. O'Keefe said most small

group plans already provide the identified benefits. That isn't always the case, however, for individual plans. Most high-deductible plans — like those set at $5,000 or

$10,000 — are going to go

away. Therefore, the insurance will cover more, but also cost more. "Individual plans are going to get a lot richer than they Pressures to pushrates up were before,"O'Keefe said.

participate," said Lou Savage, who leads the Oregon Insurance Commission. "This is a real opportunity for them." O'Keefe said the bottom line is many more people will now have insurance. The hope is that the vast majority of the estimated 560,000 uninsured Oregonians will come on the rolls the first year, using primary care to catch issues early beforeending up in emergency rooms. Also, people who were denied insurance before — he estimated that I in 4 is denied for individual coverage — will benefit. Yet for some, premiums will climb.

"If you're above the (income)

line for subsidies, you're going to pay more for insurance," O'Keefe said.

Efforts to keep rates down Several initiatives are attempting to deal with potential health insurance rate spikes. Two options through the Affordable Care Act seek to help make insurance more affordable for those with more modest incomes. Tax credits are available to individuals and small businesses purchasing insurance for 2014. The threshold for individuals is for households with incomes of less than 400 percent of the poverty level, which translates to $92,200 annually for a family of four or $44,680 for an individual. King said eligible consumers will have three ways to take the tax credit. O ne will b e t o t a k e t h e amount right off their monthly premiums. Another will be to

Americans who get health insurance through work saw fewerbenefitsasinsurersoften pocketed savings from lower administrative expenses, but some insurers were forced to pay rebatesto consumers. R esearchers attributed t h e reduced benefitsfor consumers in th e s o-called group market to the fact that many insurers already met the law's requirements. Stepping up regulation of health insurance companies has been a top priority for consumer advocates, who have complained for y e ars t h at insurers routinely i n crease premiums to pad profits and executive salaries rather than pay for medical care. The health law attempts to address this by requiring insurers to spend at least 80 cents of every dollar they collect in

dent's law, which held out the promise of lowering healthcare costs. T he average cost of a n e mployer-provided fam i l y health plan jumped 4 percent, to $15,745, between 2011 and 2012, a cost shared by employers and employees, according to an annual survey released in September by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust. There is substantial evidence that premium hikes are driven largely by rising medical costs, not profit-taking. And i n surance companies continue to vigorously oppose the standards. "The MLR completely igplace. nores thereal driver of preBut premium growth, almium increases," said Robert though slower than in years Zirkelbach, a spokesman for past, continues to o u tpace America's Health Insurance inflation and wage growth, a Plans, the industry's Washingmajor challenge to the presi- ton lobbying arm. premiums on medical care, rather than administrative expenses, a standard known as the medical loss ratio, or MLR. Insurers selling to employers must meet an even tougher standard, spending at least 85 cents of every dollar on medical care. Supporters of this strategy hope it can dampen premium hikes, which have been surging for years. McCue said the approach appears to have helped slow premium growth in the individual market,where he estimated that rates increased about 6 percent on average between 2010 and 2011, when the new standards were put in

pay the full premium and take amount as a refundable tax credit — meaning it's possible to get a tax refund through this credit. Lastly, people can opt to split the amount in some combination of reducing their premium and taking a tax credit. The other method is cost sharing. King said that means the federal government will chip in essence reduce the deductible individuals must pay. For instance, King said, a $20 co-pay with cost sharing might

become a $10 co-pay. Eligible households will make from 250 percent to 139 percent above the federal poverty level. W hile these efforts w i l l help with paying the bills, others areintended to keep them from climbing too high in the first place. Savage said several state agencies are presently working on legislation that will go before lawmakers during the upcoming session starting in February. It will include provisions intended to help keep insurance premiums in check. One proposal would shift an assessment currently on h ealth insurance bills to a pot that would help carriers who end up with expensive claims. The concept is called reinsurance. The assessment presently goes toward helping those denied coveragedue to pre-existing conditions, which will be moot starting in 2014. Another plan is called risk adjustment. It involves looking at the books of insurance carriers to see if certain ones have a lopsided portion of unhealthy individuals. Then the federal government will help those carriers. These two strategies, Savage said, should help contain costs for the insurers, hopefully heading off steep growth

Vantage of health reform The discussion about insurance premiums doesn't happen in a vacuum: Other effortsto reform health care are considered intertwined and essential. "None of this works unless we spend some time talking about how care is delivered," King said.

King said rapidly growing costs are seen presently throughout the health care s ystem. They exist, for i n stance, for individuals who pay out of their own pocket for mental health counseling because they don't want to be dinged by their insurance, or in the hospitals that spread thecosts of caring for the uninsured to those with insurance. "Irrespective of what we do, 8 to 10 percent increases year after year are not sustainable," King said of premiums. "We're pricing large businesses, small businesses and individuals out of the market at an increasing

pace." Containing health costs is a common refrain for h ow to solve industry problems. Some cite coordinated care organizations, or CCOs, as a promising strategy. King and others are banking on another strategy, as well: When the pool of newly insured individuals and small

groups gets large enough, Cover Oregon expects to be able to use that bargaining power to leverage better prices and more cost containment. But these changes will take time. "What happens to costs will not really be known for a few years," King said. — Reporter: 541-617-7828, hhagemeier@bendbulletin.com

Jade Tukan is an inquisitive 2-year-old withbright eyes and a confident smile, but her life was terribly disrupted when she was given a diagnosis of a deadly cancer,acute myeloid leukemia, in January. As her familyfocused on her medical care, it was sometimes hard to remember that Jade still wanted to play, even while hooked up to a chemotherapy drip. That's where Liz Anderson came in. Anderson is one of 16 child life specialists at Children's National Medical Center. "The purpose of my job is to make the hospital as least traumatic and stressful as possible," she explains.

Jade's mother, Taneika Tukan, said she couldn't imagine how the family would have gotten through Jade's treatment without the hospital's child life specialists. "When we first got the diagnosis, everything stood still," Tukan says. D octors gave the little girl just a 50 percent chance of survival. "We were really trying to cherish every moment we had with Jade, but there was alotof sadness we were experiencing." Anderson visited with the family almost daily, bringing toys and books when Jade was in isolation, explaining the medical care to Jade in childfriendly language and even helping herolder brother express his feelings about Jade's illness. "Whenever Jade was going through a p a r ticular funk or was a little drained from a treatment, we could ask the nurse to call Liz, and she would show up with something that would cheer her up," Taneika Tukan recalls.

tal's overhead, like electricity or maintenance. Children's spends about $800,000 a year on its program. That expense is "greatly worth it," says Mark Wietecha, president and chief executive of the Children's Hospital Association. "It's really almost an insignificant amount of money ... to let the sickest kids have some opportunity to a life and be reassimilated." The programs have been so successful that many children's hospitals are expanding them into outpatient units to help patients undergoing tests and procedures such as MRI scans and tonsillectomies. Before outpatient surgery, for example, child life specialists at C h i ldren's bring kids a coloring book, "Travel T hrough Surgery Wit h D r . B ear," which w a l k s t h e m through the experience. The book includes a page where the children can have all of theirdoctors and nurses sign, as if they're collecting autographs from characters at Disney World. While children wait for surgery, the specialists give them anesthesia masks and oils that smell like b ubblegum, cotton candy and strawberry to make the masks more pleasant to wear.

visit with a child life specialist can save his surgical team three to five minutes. "With 10 kids, that's 50 minutes — that's another surgery," he explains. The hospital believes that child life specialists improve not only productivity but also safety. In January, Children's started a program called "MRI Can Do It" to reduce the need for anesthesia during MRIs. In r ar e c a ses, a nesthesia can cause allergic reactions, breathing problems and heart irregularities in children. Beforethe program started, almost all children younger than 12 were automatically sedated with anesthesia for the exam, which requires kids to stay still in a confined tunnel for about 60 minutes, often in an uncomfortable position. But the hospital has found that an hour and a half with a child life specialist can make anesthesia unnecessary.

specialist By Lanran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The bacterial zoo inside your gut could look very different if you're a vegetarian or an Atkins dieter, a couch potato or an athlete, fat or thin. Now for a fee — $69 and up — and a stool sample, the curious can find out just what's living in their intestines and take part in one of the hottest new fields in science. Wait a minute: How many average Joes really want to pay for the privilege of mailing such, er, intimate samples to scientists? A lot, hope the researchers running two novel citizen-science projects. One, the A m erican G u t Project, aims to enroll 10,000 people — and a bunch of their d ogs and cats too — f r o m around the country. The other, uBiome, separately aims to enrollnearly 2,000 people from anywhere in the world. "We're finally enabling people to realize the power and value of bacteria in our lives," said microbiologist Jack Gilbert of the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory. He's one of a team of well-known scientists involved with the American Gut Project. Don't be squeamish: Yes, we share our bodies with trillions of microbes, living communities called microbiomes. Many of the bugs, especially those in the intestinal tract, play indispensableroles in keeping us healthy, from good digestion to a robust immune system. But w h ic h c o m binations of bacteriaseem to keep us healthy'? Which ones might encourage problems like obesity, diabetes or irritable bowel syndrome'? And do diet and lifestyle a ffect t h ose m i c robes i n ways that we might control someday? Answering those questions will require studyingvast numbers of people. Getting started with a grassroots movement makes sense, said National Institutes of Health microbiologist Lita Proctor, who isn't involved with the new projects but is watching closely. After all, there was much interest in the taxpayer-funded Human Microbiome Project, which last summer provided the first glimpse of what makes up a healthy bacterial community in a few hundred volunteers. Proctor, who c oordinated

For a fee and a stool sample, the curious can find out just what's living in their intestines and help one of the hottest new fields in science. that p r oject, h a d w o r r i ed " there would be a r eal i ck factor. That has not been the case," she said. Many people "want to engage in improving their health." Scott Jackisch, a computer consultant in O a kland, Calif., ran across American Gut while exploring the science behind different diets, and signed up last week. He's read with fascination earlier microbiome research: "Most of the genetic matter in what we considerourselves is not human, and that's crazy. I wanted to learn about that." Testing a single stool sample costs $99 in that project, but he picked athree-sample deal for $260 to compare his own bacterial makeup after eating various foods. "I want to be extra, extra well," said Jackisch, 42. Differing gut microbes may be the reason "there's no one magic bullet of diet that people can eat and be healthy." It's clear that people's gut bacteriacan change over time. What thisnew research could accomplish is a first look at how different diets may play a role, "a much better understanding of what matters and what doesn't," said A m erican Gut lead researcher Rob Knight of the University of Colorado, Boulder. "We don't just want people that have a gut-ache. We want couch potatoes. We want babies. We want vegans. We want athletes. We want any-

Diagnosis: tinnitus, with a mild hearing loss in the upper range that closely matched the pitch of the hum. Although the hum was not particularly d i sturbing, I asked what might be done if it should get loud enough to interfere with my life and ability to hear speech clearly (about 85 percent of tinnitus cases are accompanied by hearing loss). The answer was that I could be fitted with a

Until recently, no treatment had been shown to have lasting effectiveness in controlled clinical trials, despite a host of remedies variously endorsed by hearing specialists and commercial interests. In addition to a hearing aid, the most commonly prescribed remedy is a socalled masking device, a white-noise machine that introduces natural or artificial sound into the sufferer's ears in an attempt h to suppress the perceived ringing.

niques. Following an education session about t i nnitus and lessons in deep relaxation, patients are gradually exposed to an external source of the very ringing they hear in their heads. After 10 or 12 sessions,they become habituated to it and no longer find it threatening. It is not the noise itself but "patients' e x tremely n e gative reaction to it that creates daily life impairment," Cima explained. "Patients are continuously stressed and fearful of it.

But if your child didn't take easily to reading, you wouldn't say, "He's just not a reader," and let it go. You'd take extra steps to teachthem how toread. Kids who aren't fast runners or good at scoring can still give a good effort, can still improve and learn and grow. Find the right sport that they enjoy and can learn from.

If they're completely uninterested, how should parents handle that? • This is a question that • hits close to home, as my son is one of those kids who really doesn't like to try anything until he knows he can do it. If I tried to force him to do something, he would refuse to participate. This happened with skiing, soccer, gymnastics, reading, you name it. The best thing to do is take him out to the yard and try playing the sport with him. If it's soccer, roll him the ball and have him kick it. If its baseball, pitch him a big softball and hand him a big fat bat that gives him the best chance of hitting it. For my son, we put on his skis and I walked around the neighborhood pulling him behind me. When he smiled and said "again," then we signed him up for ski school. You really need to know what kids want to do before signing them up for anything. Th e m i stake many people make is signing a reluctant kid up when he has never expressed an interest in something, and when he doesn't want to play, just assuming your kid does not like sports, or that something is wrong with your kid. Instead, help your reluctant young athletes find their own passion, instead of finding it for them.

over a loss. Parents need to show unconditional love with words and actions so children don't feel their parents' love is tied to actions and outcomes in sports. On the ride home, let them bring it up if they want to talk about the game. If they talk, really listen and be aware of their emotional state. This is not an appropriate time for a teachable moment. Don't criticize their actions, teammates, coaches. If they want to talk, keep it positive. If they're done talking, drop it. The only exception is when they do something in a game that's unacceptable at home, such as punching an opponent, spitting or cursing. Deal with that.
