by states. Still, the lingering imprint of those early problems remains visible in the new report. Overall, the 3.3 million people who have signed up for coverage are about 1 million fewer than federal officials had anticipated by the end of January. That difference dovetails with a revised prediction last week by congressional budget analysts

WASHINGTON — For the

first time since the federal and state health insurance mar-

ketplaces opened in the early fall, the number of people who signed up for coverage in January exceeded the government's expectations for the month, bringing the overall total to about 3.3 million.

Across the country, nearly 1.2 million people enrolled in health plans last month through the new insurance exchanges — more than federal officials had envisioned when they compiled monthly targets late last summer, weeks before

the sign-ups began. The figure is part of a detailed report issued Wednes-

day by the Obama administration, providing the latest look at how the effort to ex-

tend health insurance to more Americans is faring. The report suggests that

executive who becamemayor in 2002 pledging to modernize city government and instead became an emblem of government dysfunction in the months andyears after Hurricane Katrina, was found guilty in federal court on Wednesday on 20counts of bribery and fraud. The verdict marks a dubious milestone in acity long associated with an ethically loose style of politics: It makesNagin the first NewOrleans mayor to be charged, tried andconvicted of corruption. Hewas found guilty of all but one of 21counts, including bribery, wire fraud and filing false tax returns. BOStOn dOmding trial —The trial of suspected Boston Marathon bomber DzhokharTsarnaev will begin on Nov. 3, afederal judge has ruled, a muchearlier date than defenseattorneys had requested. In a status hearing Wednesday,Judge GeorgeO'Toole said the date was fair. Defenseattorneys hadasked for a trial date no earlier than September 2015.Tsarnaevwas not present at the hearing. Last month, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said hewas seeking the death penalty for Tsarnaev,who is suspected of carrying out the April 15 bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon that wounded 260 and killed three. Syrian COnfliCt —The Syrian opposition coalition on Wednesday presented its most detailed vision yet of a political transition to end Syria's conflict, in a 24-point plan that, strikingly, made no mention of President Bashar Assad or his ouster, while outlining strong requirements for human rights and justice in a future Syria. The proposal, detailed in a document presented to the Syrian government's delegation during peace talks in Geneva, marked a shift in tone for the opposition group, which has long insisted on Assad's departure as the starting point for a political resolution to the conflict. Al-QBIEI8 8I'I'SSiS —In another sign that al-Qaida-linked groups are moving from Syria into Lebanon, the Lebanesearmy announced Wednesday that it had intercepted two cars loadedwith hundreds of pounds of explosives for suicide attacks, one of which wasbeing driven to Beirut from the Syrian city of Yabroud. Security officials said the arrest of NaimAbbas, who wasdescribed as the mastermind behind several car bombings that havetargeted Shiite Muslim neighborhoods in Beirut, also helped uncover acache of rockets that the group planned to launch to disrupt a memorial service that the militant group Hezbollah hadscheduled for this Sunday to commemorate fighters who died in Syria and in conflicts with Israel. employee of the U.S.Embassy whoworked as aliaison to the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian news reports said Wednesday,stirring fears of pressure onWestern diplomats who communicate with the Islamist opposition. AhmedAlaiba was detained Jan. 25, and he has been held without charges since then. AnEgyptian government official said Alaiba wasunder investigation for both participating in an illegal demonstration and "communicating with an outlawed group."

Sparse traffic makesits way onthe Interstate 75/85 connector Wednesdayjust south of downtown Atlanta. The second wintry storm in two weeks to hit the Deep South encrusted highways, trees andpower lines in ice Wednesday, knocking out electricity to more than half a million homesand businesses.

This time, though, Atlanta's highway's were clear

As the storm glazed theSouth with snow and freezing rain, it also pushednorthward along the Interstate 95 corridor, threatening to bring at least a half-foot of snow Thursday to the already sick-of-winter mid-Atlantic and Northeast. At least11 deaths across the South were blamed on the treacherous weather, andnearly 3,300 airline flights nationwide werecanceled.

Recent deadly avalanches In less than aweek, avalanches around the West havekilled six people, including two in Oregon. An avalanche in theWallowa Mountains near HalfwayTuesday killed a skier from Bellingham,Wash., and aguide from Enterprise, said BakerCounty Undersheriff Warren Thompson. Twoother backcountry skiers in the eight-person groupwereseriously injured by the slide. Threeclients and another guide were not injured. The victims names' hadyet to be released as of late Wednesday. A snowcat and asnowmobile Wednesday pulled the injured skiers, who also weren't named, more than 10miles in from the backcountry to Halfway, Thompson said. Rescue efforts were plaguedall day by badweather, which dropped10 inches of snowand prevented two National Guard helicopters from reaching the avalanchesite. The five-day ski trip was organized byWallowa Alpine Huts, an outfitter from Joseph that hasbeen in business since 1980without a fatality, said owner Connelly Brown. Two other people died in separate slides in Utah over theweekend, and two peoplewere killed Monday byavalanches in Colorado, also separately. The deaths brought to12 the number of people whohavedied in avalanches nationally this season.

The Seattle-based Northwest Avalanche Center, which issues avalanche wariiings for

the Cascades in Washington and northern Oitegon, had mid-

range "considerable" warnings out Wednesday afternoon for mountains around the North-

west. Although the warnings don't cover Central Oregon, Sabo said they show there probably is danger heite, too.

Avalanche danger comes from a mix of temperatures from cold to w arm, intense

snow and rain and lots of wind, said Trevor Miller, board member for the Central Oregon Ava-

lanche Association. "We are experiencing a lot of those common denominators,"

Miller said.

TODAY'S READ:EATING OUT

e 00 IS BS, By Sarah Maslin Nire New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — With its recession-friendly coffee prices, plentiful tables and available bathrooms, McDonald's restaurants all across the country, and even across the world, have been adopted by a cost-conscious set as a coffeehouse for the people, a sort of everyman's Starbucks.

PLEASE -

It maydewonky, dutfast foodis agreat economicindicator Let's look at the time spenteating out in a different way. Afew years ago, during the Great Recession, The NewYork Times used newdata to examinewhether fast food also means fast economic growth. Apparently, it does. TheOrganization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which includes leading developed countries, released a data about living conditions. Its study included survey results in 17 of the countries regarding the amount of time eachday people spent eating anddrinking. To no one's surprise, Francefollowed the most leisurely schedule of dining. The fastest eaters were in North America. The10 countries where peoplespend less than100 minutes eating and drinking each day have, as agroup, consistently shown higher economic growth than those that took more than 100 minutes to savor their daily repasts. In 2008, as the recession spreadaround theworld, real gross domestic product in countries that ate rapidly fell by anaverageof1.2 percent. Those that ate more slowly suffered anaverage decline of 2 percent. Moreover, the fast countries did better in every year from 2001 to 2008, the yearthe study ended.

Seated near a "No Loitering" sign, a woman reads a book at a McDonald's in New York. Particularly in this city, the fast food chain's franchises are no strangers to customers who camp out for hours over

one cup of coffee, or nothing at all. Behind the Golden Arches,

formed the banquettes into

headquarters for the kind of laid-back socializing once carried out on a park bench or

brownstone stoop. But patrons have also brought the mores of cafe cul-

ture, where often a single purchase is permission to camp out with a laptop. Increasingly, they seem to linger over McCafe Lattes, sometimes spending a lot of time but little

money in outlets of this chain, which rose to prominence on a very different business mod-

el: food that is always fast. And so restaurant managers

and franchise owners are often frustrated by these, their most loyal customers. Such

regulars hurt business, some say, and leave little room for other customers. Tensions can

sometimes erupt. Recently those tensions came to a boil in New York

City. When management at a McDonald's in Queens called the police on a group of older Koreans, prompting outrage at the company'sperceived rudeness,calls for a world-

This is not to downplay the cultural factors that may be atwork here, and it isn't obvious, really, which is causeandwhich effect. Do people spend more time eating becausethey haveless to do in economies that are not growing? Or doeconomies stumble because peopleare savoring a glass of wine when they should beworking? The same study also provided data on obesity. The correlations there werenot as strong, but there is some evidence that expanding waistlines comewith expanding economies. Onaverage, the five countries in the survey with the least obesity — South Korea, Japan, Norway, Italy and Francegrew at a slower average rate in each of the eightyears studied than did the five countries with the most obesity — the United States, Mexico, Britain, Australia and NewZealand. Such correlations may benothing but coincidence, of course. But if the relations indicated by the data are genuine, acontribution to world growth is rendered by anyinstitution that enables people to eat rapidly and gain weight. Take abow, McDonald's.

acifiCorp has now demonstrated a gift for doing what's right on Mirror Pond. It just needs to demonstrate a few more gifts. The company announced Tuesday that it would fix one of the leaks in the dam. The leakhelped make the pond look and smell about as pleasant as inhaling a noseful of skunk. There was the potential that lower water levels would continue right through the summer. Boating and paddling could be curtailed. Floating wouldn't be much fun. Swimming would be reserved for people with short arms. And for accuracy's sake, the pond's name should be switched to Muddy Pond. In December, PacifiCorp said the dam would not berepaired, because it was not cost effective for the amount of power it produced. The tune has changed. Mark Tallman, PacifiCorp's vice presidentforrenewable resources, says it fully understands the community's concern about the potential for low water levels during summer recreation months. " It's possible M i r ror P o n d would have remained full t h is summer without this fix, but in our view this is the right action to take at this time," Tallman said. It will enable PacifiCorp to restore hydro generation. PacifiCorp also says it should help negotiations with the Bend community to determine if keeping the dam intact is a better option than

removal. The cost of the repair is estimated at $250,000. With t ha t i s sue seemingly resolved,the Mirror Pond committee is working on getting the community better information so it can make a good decision. The public really needs to know how much it would cost to remove the dam and do any mitigation and how much it would cost to continue to operatethe dam and keep the silt buildup under control. We support keeping the pond, but that does depend on what it would cost. Now that PacifiCorp has taken this right step, what will it do next? PacifiCorp's new release about fixing the dam acknowledges it may have some interests that are not the same as the community's. "The company is very committed to trying to find the best possible outcome regarding this facility that balances the community's priorities for Mirror Pond and our regulatory obligations," it says. And it goes on to add that "we arehopeful an agreement can be reached that allows this to happen and also protects the interest of our rate-paying customers in Bend and throughout our six-state service area." We hope that is true, too.

The transfer, John Day River, the Blue Mountains, using money from the Land & Water the Cascade-Siskiyou National MonConservation Fund, would provide

a seamlessaccess pointfor outdoor enthusiasts, thus allowing greater public access to this Central Oregon

treasure. For anglers, hunters, hikers and all outdoor enthusiasts, this is a big win if approved. The cost of the land transfer to the BLM would be approximately $1 million. But, it's important to know that

BASEBALL Jeter Set tO retire after SeaSOn — Yankeesshortstop Derek Jeter says hewill retire after this season, ending one of the greatest careers in the history of baseball's most storied franchise. The 39-year-old captain posted a long letter on his Facebookpage Wednesday saying that 2014 will be his final year. A13-time All-Star who has led theYankees tofive World Series championships, Jeter was limited to17 gameslast season while trying to recover from a broken left ankle sustained in the 2012playoffs. "I know it in my heart. The 2014seasonwill be my last year playing professional baseball," he wrote. Jeter is theYankees' career hits leader with 3,316. He is alifetime.312 hitter in 19 seasons, with 256 home runs and1,261 RBls.

COLLEGEFOOTBALL PrOPOSal WOuld SIOWdOWnOffenSeS — A proposed change by the NCAArules committee would prohibit offenses from snapping the ball until at least10 seconds hadrun off the 40-second play clock, slowing down the up-tempo, no-huddle attacks that havebeen making defenses dizzy. Therule allows defenses time to make asubstitution without the offense changing players — as iscurrently required — andwith no fear the ball will be snapped before 29 seconds are left on the play clock. Anexception will be madefor the final two minutes of each half, when theoffense can snapthe ball as quickly as it wants. The committee also proposed achange to thetargeting rule that would eliminate the 15-yard penalty when instant replay officials overturn an ejection. Last year, when targeting a penalty was called, the15-yard penalty stood even if the replay official determined the player should beallowed to stay in the game.

A tie in alpine skiing? Believeit By Fred Lief The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The gold market enjoyed big gains at the Sochi Olympics on Wednesday, getting an unexpected boost from the women's downhill. Tina Maze of Slovenia and Dominique

Gisin of Switzerland were declared co-gold medalists, the first time in Olympic alpine history a race was won in a tie. On a day that had little to do with winter

— temperatures hit 63 degrees — the two friends covered the 1.69-mile Rosa Khutor

course in 1 minute, 41.57 seconds. A tearful Lara Gut of Switzerland won the bronze, 0.10 seconds back.

this beautiful victory," Trankov said.

Speedskating The Dutch ruled at the oval again, with Stefan Groothuis taking the gold in the 1,000

meters and upsetting two-time Olympic champion Shani Davis (Chicago) of the U.S. Groothuis won in I minute, 8.39 seconds and was followed by Denny Morrison of Canada and 500 champion Michel Mulder of the Netherlands. The Dutch have won 10 of

15 medals through the first five events. Davis was eighth, denied in his bid to become the first man to win the same speedskating event at three straight Olympics.

Snowboard The United States' Kaitlyn Farrington

(Sun Valley, Idaho) posted a score of 91.75 during her second run, just good enough to beat Torah Bright's 91.50. 2002 Olympic champion Kelly Clark (West Dover, Vt.) took bronze to give the United States another medal.

Men's hockey Sweden showed off its deep offensive talent in its Olympic opener, getting two goals from Erik Karlsson and one from Henrik

Zetterberg in a 4-2 win over the Czech Republic. Switzerland also won, but needed a late deflection to beat Latvia 1-0. The Swiss

scored with 7.9 seconds left, and Simon Moser was credited with the goal that ap-

peared to carom off a Latvian player in front of the net.

Women's hockey Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in a preview of the expected gold medal game. Meghan Agosta scored twice for Canada and assisted on Hayley Wickenheiser's goal. This was the fifth time these teams have met

in the Olympics, but the first since women's hockey was added to the Winter Games in 1998 that they have played in the preliminary round. In the day's other game, Finland beat Switzerland 4-3.

Nordic combined Eric Frenzel, who served two years in the German army, won the individual normal

hill. He led after ski jumping and powered home on the cross-country course. "I can't describe this feeling, it's so perfect," he said. Frenzel, the runaway World Cup leader, was followed by Akito Watabe of Japan and Magnus Krog of Norway.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index was nearly flat Wednesday. The day's slight drop meant the end of a four-day winning streak for the index, its longest of the year, and it was a departure from the big swings that have recently driven the market. In three of the last four days, the index had swung by more than 1 percent. Df the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500, six fell Wednesday. The sharpest drops came from makers of diapers and other staple items for consumers. Procter 8 Gamble, one of the industry's biggest names, cut its profit forecast for the year due to sharp swings in the value of currencies from developing economies.

Pay with ditcoin at Goodwill? Shoppers maysoon be able to makepurchases using bitcoins in an unlikely place: the thrift store. Goodwill, a collective of nonprofits that operate several thousand stores selling secondhand items, will have the option to accept bitcoins in some locations via payment terminals from Revel Systems Inc., a San Francisco startup. Revel is adding a bitcoin button to its point-ofsale system, which is currently used in 23 Goodwill stores. — From wire reports

The results of a newclinical trial may change that. Scientists have found that feeding allergic children small amounts of peanut protein every daycan help them lead a normal life. "This is a very important first step," says Gideon Lack, apediatric allergist at King's College London, whowas not involved in the work. "But I don't think it

Their immunesystem reacts to proteins found in the nuts, and in severe casesthat reaction can cut off breathing or lead to asudden drop in blood pressure, starving the organs of oxygen. Thecondition puts a lot of stress on families, becauseevenchildren who have reacted mildly to peanuts in the past can suddenly have alife-threat-

hind placentophagy stems from the theory that all of the placenta's nutrients that nour-

ished the baby throughout the pregnancy would be beneficial if ingested right back into the mother. To OHSU's Berlin, that's a

dubious claim, considering that once the placenta is out of the mother's body — while it does contain iron and protein

— it's still a dead organ. "To be thinking about all the wonderful things a placenta did do in terms of its h ormonal regulation or

Yogurt may help fight diadetes GENEVA — In the

Eating yogurt can reduce the risk ofgetting type 2diabetes by 28 percent, compared with consuming none, according to astudy published by Diabetologia. Higher consumption of low-fat fermenteddairy products, such asyogurt and somecheeses, also lowered the relative risk of diabetes by24 percent overall, the study showed. Dairy products arean important source ofproteins, vitamins andminerals such ascalcium. They also contain saturated fat, which shouldn't be consumed inhigh quantities, according to current dietary guidelines. Previous studies analyzing possible links between their consumption and diabeteshad inconclusive findings, the researchers said. "Specific foods may have animportant role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes, andare relevant for public health messages," lead scientist Nita Forouhi, from theMedical ResearchCouncil Epidemiology Unitat the University of Cambridge, said in a statement.

SAVE YOUR TEETH IN DENTAL TRAUMA QLIEsTfoN:What do I do if I damage or knock out a tooth? ANswER: Good question. It's not just the young who are at risk for dental trauma. A fall, whether it's off a bike or in the house, and a collision with a tennis doubles partner or his racquet are just a couple of the scenarios in Carlo Arredondo, ' which an adult can experience dental trauma, knocking out, breaking or loosening a tooth. If a tooth is knocked out, first of all, retrieve it if you can. Keep

it moist with saliva or milk. Don't scrub it clean because some of the fiber attached to it could be helpful in successfully replanting the tooth. Go to your dentist — not a hospital emergency room — as quickly as possible. Likewise, if you chip or break a tooth, retrieve the broken-off part if possible. If the dentist cannot repair the tooth with the part you retrieved, depending on the size of the chip, he may be able to fix it with a toothcolored resin. If the chip is sizeable, however, the dentist may need to put a crown over the tooth. If a tooth is knocked loose, you may be able to push it back into place yourself. But you should still see a dentist as soon as possible. The effects of dental trauma are not always obvious. While the teeth may look fine after you've sustained some sort of blow, there could be damage that only a dental examination, perhaps and x-ray, will detect.

Certified Permanent

ANswER: Over the years, most women add to the problem by excess tweezing, waxing and electrolysis. The result can be asymmetrical eyebrows. Permanent makeup can produce a very natural

and finished look. A well shaped brow can help lift deep set eyes or maximize small eyes. Short, hair like strokes can fill in sparse areas and appear as natural as hair. Having eyebrows not only frames your face but will give you the freedom from having to do this laborious task daily.

makeup can do for you.

QUESTIDN:How do I know if I have Hemorrhoids? ANswm: Hemorrhoids are located in the anus or lower rectum. Pressure causes the veins in the lower rectum to stretch resulting in bulging or swelling.

Pressure can be caused by straining during bowel movements, sitting for long periods of time on the toilet, chronic diarrhea, constipation, obesity JanaVanAmburg, or pregnancy. Hemorrhoids may be internal or M D FACS external. Signs and symptoms include itching, irritation, pain, discomfort, or swelling around anus. Painless bleeding during bowel movements may be noticeable. Sensitive or painful lumps around the anus may occur plus a leakage of feces. Internal Hemorrhoids: Typically do not cause discomfort but if there is straining or irritation while passing stool, damage to the hemorrhoid and bleeding may occur. Occasionally an internal hemorrhoid can push through the anal opening which is called a prolapsed hemorrhoid. This can be very painful. External hemorrhoids are located just under the skin around the anus. External hemorrhoids can feel itchy or bleed when blood is clotted (thrombosed). If blood pools in an external hemorrhoid, it may form a clot (thrombus), which results in inflammation, swelling, severe pain and sometimes bleeding. Bleeding during bowel movements is the most common sign ofhemorrhoids; however this can also be a sign of a more serious condition. There are many treatments including diet, exercise, and medication. Although surgery is not always necessary, there are many surgical choices depending on the severity of the hemorrhoid. Over 50'/e of Americans will suffer from hemorrhoids during their lives.

ANswER: Too old for breast reduction?

QtiEsTroN:I have heard that aquatic therapy can be helpful for people with chronic pain. I have tried other exercise, but I felt worse. Is there anything that aquatic physical therapycan offerto help me? ANswER: Yes! Trained physical therapists can assist you with specific, personalized strengthening and endurance exercises in Zeyla Brandt PT an aquatic environment, which reduces gravity. This means that there is less force on your joints, which reduces arthritic and other pain. Water provides 7 times the resistance of air, so this can be a very efficient medium for exercising, allowing you to achieve more in less time. Similarly, the water offers increased support, which can be very comforting. For folks with balance problems, exercising in a pool is very helpful, as it allows for balance training without the fear of injury from falling. We also offer treatments which allow for gentle passive movement, with none of the discomfort that may be associated with lying on a treatment table.

Azure Karli,

QLIEsrtoNI Lately I have been anxious and I think it is starting to affect my sleep. Is there something natural I can do to help? ANswER: I There are many natural approaches to eliminating anxiety and helping with sleep. I always start with an analysis of the types of foods and drinks you consume. There

are obviouschanges like decreasing caff eine and alcohol and then some not so obvious ones like eating more almonds and lean meats (see http:// bendnaturopath.com/articles/thirteen-best-foods-for-moodsupport). Staying hydrated (half your body weight in ounces daily) is the most important step for all other changes to be the most effective. Good sleep hygiene should be in place. Examples are no screen time at least 45 minutes before you lay down, a cup of hot tea thirty minutes after dinner and in bed by 10. If further help is needed, you should consider targeted amino acid support based on analysis by your practitioner or testing. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and all of the neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA which contribute strongly to mood, appetite and sleep. It is also important not to forget the need for support from your community. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone to call a friend, family member, counselor, or your medical provider. This can sometimes be the most powerful medicine accessible to us. In health, Dr. Azure Karli
