Deschutes OLCC decoys see sales to minors decrease By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — Before she turned 21, Melissa Chick walked into Central Oregon bars, liquor stores and restaurants to try to buy alcohol. About 70 percent of the time,

she said, it worked. “And I wanted to say, ‘People, really?’” said Chick, who got involved in the Oregon Liquor Control Commission program involving “minor decoys” through a friend. “Why aren’t enough people paying attention?”

She walked out of a liquor store with a bottle of Seagram’s, and the OLCC employee who accompanied her on these trips walked in to talk to the person who sold Chick the booze. Using so-called minor decoys is one of the OLCC’s most pow-

erful tools in cracking down on those who sell alcohol to minors. Since Chick took her turn as a decoy last summer, the number of establishments selling to minors in Deschutes County has decreased. See Decoys / A6

SKATING AGAINST CANCER

CENTRAL OREGON SCHOOLS

Online learning options expand By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

From left: Andy McIntosh, 31, of Bend; Ryan Blake, 25, of Berkeley, Calif.; Chris Lewis, 25, of Ashland; and Kyle Ohlson, 17, of Encinitas Calif., skateboard down Northeast First Street in Bend on Sunday afternoon toward a sendoff party at The Truck Stop Skate Park. These four skaters are joining Trevor Downing, 24, of Ashland, not pictured, on Longboard Oregon, a four-day skateboard trip through Oregon to raise money for cancer research. The five skaters will leave on their journey from Portland on Wednesday and

plan to complete the trip in Ashland on Saturday. Their goal is to raise $10,000 on the 450-mile expedition, with stops along the way in Corvallis and Eugene. All money raised goes to the Cancer Research Institute. For more information on Longboard Oregon or to learn how to donate, go to www.facebook.com/LongBoardOR, or visit The Truck Stop Skate Park during its business hours, 1 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Flood of credit card lawsuits yields flaws

In different shapes and forms, online instruction is taking root and growing in Central Oregon. Bend-La Pine Schools is offering an online program this fall that students of all grades can tap into, for full-time instruction or on a part-time basis to complement classroom instruction. In the Crook County School District, Insight School of Oregon is starting this fall as a charter school, offering online instruction to students of all grades. For Central Oregon students and parents, the additional programs add more choices to the array of education options. Those changes add another layer of decision-making when it’s time to enroll in school. These new programs have their differences. Insight is a charter school, marketing full-time online instruction to students across Oregon and hiring teachers who can live anywhere in the state. By comparison, Bend-La Pine Online Plus is a program within the district, not a separate charter school.

Insight Charter schools are public schools governed by their own boards. The Crook County School District approved the authorization for Insight to form a charter. Because of its online nature, the school’s reach will extend to any student in Oregon — not just those in the immediate school district. Teachers can be based anywhere in the state, working from home. See Online / A6

The Ryan pick: how it was kept a secret

The same problems that plagued the foreclosure process — and prompted a multibillion-dollar settlement with big banks — are now emerging in the debt-collection practices of credit card companies. As they work through a glut of bad loans, companies like American Express, Citigroup and Discover Financial are going to court to recoup their money. But many of the lawsuits rely on erroneous documents, incomplete records and generic testimony, according to judges who oversee the cases. Lenders, the judges said, are churning out lawsuits without regard for accuracy and improperly collecting debts. See Credit / A6

No, these were the woods where the Wisconsin congressman grew up. To escape his Janesville home undetected on Friday, Ryan snuck out his back door, walked through the woods behind his house and Ryan past the old tree fort he built as a boy and the driveway of his childhood home. “I know those woods like the back of my hand, so it wasn’t too hard to walk through them,” Ryan told reporters.

Military on film: work and cost of a closeup

GENERAL INFORMATION ONLINE

Discoveries, breakthroughs, trends, names in the news — things you need to know to start your day.

WASHINGTON — In the background, in the aftermath of a horrific battle, uniformed men unload caskets from a truck. Philip Strub had to tut as he read the description. “That’s not how we do things,” the director of the Pentagon’s Entertainment Media office recalls telling filmmakers preparing to incorporate that scene into a movie. “Caskets aren’t just cargo. We always move them with full honors.” Strub was pleased when the director got the message, and the fallen warriors were treated with white gloves and respect. That was more than they’d gotten from their robot-monster killers, of course. That’s the nature of Strub’s role at the office that oversees the military’s relationship with the American movie industry, a department that dates to the year the first Hollywood studio opened and is far older than the Pentagon building itself. Strub laughingly describes the relationship as “mutually exploitive.” Certainly, it’s one that American moviegoers see all the time. The Pentagon doesn’t keep statistics, but private counts put the number of movies the Department of Defense has supported above 1,000. This relationship became very public and deeply partisan earlier this year, when some Republicans in Congress accused the Obama administration of giving special favors to Oscarwinning director Kathryn Bigelow’s upcoming “Zero Dark Thirty,” which tells the story of the mission to kill Osama bin Laden. The accusation was that

the administration granted unusual access in the hope that the film, now expected to be released in December, would boost President Barack Obama’s re-election bid, including meetings with Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers. The Pentagon confirms the meetings but says there was nothing unusual or improper in them. House Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., says he’s still concerned that the filmmakers got “special access” to “sensitive information” on a secret mission.

Spin, counterspin on both sides of welfare debate By Glenn Kessler

featuring anything military in nature. That way, they can be familiar enough with the characters that when they make suggestions in the future, they’ll be able to fit them into the way a show works. Most of Strub’s work is with feature films. His push for a change in the way military dead were handled came in the filming of “Transformers” — or maybe the sequel, he isn’t quite sure. This summer, audiences can spot similar bits of military-approved detail in films about war with space aliens (“Battleship”) and by superheroes against otherworldly gods (“The Avengers”). The effectiveness of movies as a recruiting tool has never been quantified, but it’s no accident that many of the movies the Department of Defense supports are blockbusters,

AH-64 “Apache”

which attract teenagers, many of them approaching or at the age at which they can volunteer for service. Strub emphasizes that what he pushes for is an accurate portrayal of the military, not a sugarcoated one. As evidence, he notes the Pentagon’s willingness to support a movie — as yet unmade — about the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, in which U.S. troops killed hundreds of apparently unarmed civilians, and the trial that followed. Some classic films were rejected for official support, such as “The Deer Hunter” and “Apocalypse Now,” both of which had an anti-war message, and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the 1946 tale of a smalltown banker contemplating suicide that’s become a Christmas season staple on television.

Syrian jets continue to strike Aleppo By Damien Cave New York Times News Service

BEIRUT — Syrian jets fired on areas in and around Aleppo again Sunday, continuing an escalation of force that has led activists and rebels to demand that foreign forces establish a no-fly zone to counter the government’s air superiority. Over the weekend, the United States and Turkey discussed a variety of measures to aid the opposition to President Bashar Assad, including a no-fly zone,

though no decisions were reached. While the fighting raged in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, Syrian authorities Sunday reported two bomb attacks in Damascus, the capital. The bombings occurred in the Marjeh District of Damascus, suggesting the rebels were still active in the capital and were increasingly turning to explosives in their evolving guerrilla campaign. No one was wounded in the attacks on Sunday, Syria’s state

news agency said. The first blast was set off remotely as soldiers passed by in a vehicle. The device was hidden under a tree about 100 yards from the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus, The Associated Press reported. The second blast went off around the same time near a soccer stadium half a mile away. Both explosions were followed by gunfire “to provoke panic,” the authorities said. Also on Sunday, Al Arabiya, an Arabic news channel, re-

ported that a journalist working with it was killed on Saturday by a bomb in a suburb north of Damascus. And in a video released Sunday, one of the rebel brigades in the capital said Syrian troops had launched two attacks in an effort to free dozens of Iranians kidnapped by the brigade last week. Iran says the captives are pilgrims who were in Damascus to visit a Shiite shrine, but the rebels say their hostages (45 are left after three were killed by shelling) are Iranian agents.

Egyptian military chiefs sacked; backlash feared

Drought-driven voters vent anger over farm bill By Jennifer Steinhauer New York Times News Service

THURMAN, Iowa — John Askew pulled at a soybean pod and revealed two anemic beans dappled with stem rot, the harvest of a too hot sun and too little rain. Rep. Tom Latham peered in and shook his head. “We need a farm bill — that’s the first thing,” said Askew, whose family has farmed here for six generations. Latham, a Republican, agrees. But House leaders, including Speaker John Boehner, who popped into Iowa on Friday night to promote Latham’s re-election campaign, have been unable to muster the votes. A summer drought that has destroyed crops, killed livestock and sent feed prices soaring is now extracting a political price from members of Congress, who failed to agree on a comprehensive agriculture bill or even limited emergency relief before leaving Washington for five weeks in their parched precincts. Farmers are complaining loudly to lawmakers back in their districts, editorial boards across the heartland have pounded Congress for inaction and incumbents from both parties have sparred with their challengers over agricultural policy.

In Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and her Republican Party-endorsed opponent, Kurt Bills, disagreed sharply in their first faceto-face debate over what a farm bill should contain, and in Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill and her Republican challenger, Rep. Todd Akin, defended their positions before the state farm bureau’s political unit. “Every time I get out there,” said Rep. Leonard Boswell, Latham’s Democratic opponent in a newly drawn district, “people keep asking me: ‘What happened to the farm bill? Why don’t we have a farm bill?’” In Arkansas, the Democratic Party paid for an automated call made by a farmer imploring rural voters to pester Rep. Rick Crawford, a Republican, about the unfinished farm business. Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., took heat back home for backing away from a petition sponsored by Democrats that would have forced the House Agriculture Committee’s farm bill to the floor. “We would have much preferred they pass the House bill,” said Michael Held, chief executive officer of the South Dakota Farm Bureau. “I think the attitude here is this is typical Washington, D.C., not getting its work done.”

Junk food laws are seen to help curb kids’ obesity By Lindsey Tanner The Associated Press

Amr Nabil / The Associated Press

Thousands of supporters raise a poster of Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi as they celebrate Sunday in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak 18 months ago. Morsi ordered the retirement of the defense minister and chief of staff on Sunday and made the boldest move so far to seize back powers that the military stripped from his office right before he took over. By Ernesto Londoño The Washington Post

CAIRO — Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi forced out the country’s two top military chiefs Sunday, in a bold move to wrest power from the armed forces and marginalize key holdovers of ousted president Hosni Mubarak’s reign. Seizing on a brazen attack last week in north Sinai that killed 16 Egyptian security forces, Morsi on Sunday swore in a new defense minister, who will command the armed forces, and made additional major personnel moves. The president also announced that

he had suspended a constitutional amendment the generals passed on the eve of Morsi’s election giving themselves vast powers and weakening the presidency. The ousted military chiefs quietly stepped aside Sunday, but analysts said the move could trigger a backlash and further polarize a nation in which many are wary of the intentions of the country’s first Islamist president. Morsi ran as the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group that has yearned for decades to lead Egypt. “This is a big moment of

transformation in the history of Egypt,” said Zeinab AbulMagd, a history professor at the American University in Cairo who has studied the military closely. “Now, officially, it is a Brotherhood state. Now it is official they are in full control of state institutions.” Morsi’s election in June was hailed as a watershed for a nation that for six decades had been governed by military autocrats. But efforts by members of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to cement their vast authority through legal maneuvers appeared to set the stage for a weak president.

U.S. Navy ship collides with oil tanker in Gulf By Michael Casey

The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan government representatives have met with a top-ranking Taliban member in his prison cell in Pakistan, an official said, suggesting a small step toward reopening stalled peace talks with the insurgent group. The confirmation Sunday came at the end of a bloody weekend that showed how unstable the country is, though NATO is aiming to hand over security responsibility to local forces at the end of 2014 after more than a decade of warfare against insurgents. Afghanistan’s international allies hope that bringing the Taliban to the negotiating table will ease the pressure on the Afghan government as international forces draw down. An official with the Afghan High Peace Council, which is tasked with starting talks, said the Pakistani government allowed Afghan government envoys access to Mullah Abdul

Ghani Baradar, a top-ranking Taliban official who was captured in Pakistan in 2010. His arrest reportedly angered Afghan President Hamid Karzai because Baradar had been in secret talks with the Afghan government. “Some members from our embassy in Pakistan, they met Mullah Baradar,” said Ismail Qasemyar, the council’s international relations adviser. He declined to give details of the discussions or say when they took place. Qasemyar said that members of the peace council had not met with Baradar. A Pakistani intelligence official confirmed the meeting, saying Pakistani authorities arranged it at the request of the Afghan Embassy in Islamabad. The official, who was not authorized to release the information and so spoke anonymously, said Baradar met with Afghan diplomats based in Islamabad without giving further details.

The ouster of Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi — the defense minister and top military chief — and his deputy, army chief of staff Sami Anan, suggested the Brotherhood is willing to act more quickly and assertively in taking control of key institutions than analysts had predicted. Speaking late Sunday, Morsi said his decisions were not meant to “embarrass” any person or institution. “I want the armed forces to devote themselves to a mission that is holy to all of us, which is protecting the nation,” he said in a televised address.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer was left with a gaping hole on one side after it collided with an oil tanker early Sunday just outside the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The collision left a breach about 10 feet by 10 feet (three by three meters) in the starboard side of USS Porter. No one was injured on either vessel, the U.S. Navy said in a statement. The collision with the Panamanian-flagged and Japanese-owned bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan happened about 1 a.m. local time. Photos released by the Navy showed workers standing amid twisted metal and other debris hanging down from the hole. The cause of the incident is under investigation, the Navy said, though the collision was not “combat related.” There were no reports

of spills or leakages from either the USS Porter or the Otowasan, the Navy said. Navy spokesman Greg Raelson said the destroyer now is in port in Jebel Ali, Dubai. “We’re just happy there were no injuries,” he said. “An investigation is under way.” The USS Porter is on a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 5th Fleet, which is based in Bahrain, an island nation in the Gulf, near Iran. The Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Gulf, is a crowded and tense waterway where one-fifth of the world’s oil is routed. Tensions have risen there over repeated Iranian threats to block tanker traffic in retaliation for tighter sanctions by the West. The sanctions are aimed at persuading Iran to abandon its uranium enrichment program, so far without success. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz show no sign of abating.

CHICAGO — Laws strictly curbing school sales of junk food and sweetened drinks may play a role in slowing childhood obesity, according to a study that seems to offer the first evidence such efforts could pay off. The results come from the first large national look at the effectiveness of the state laws over time. They are not a slam-dunk, and even obesity experts who praised the study acknowledge the measures are a political hot potato, smacking of a “nanny state” and opposed by industry and cash-strapped schools relying on food processors’ money. But if the laws have even a tiny effect, “what are the downsides of improving the food environment for children today?” asked Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital. “You can’t get much worse than it already is.” Children in the study gained less weight from fifth through eighth grades if they lived in states with strong, consistent laws versus no laws governing snacks available in schools. For example, kids who were 5 feet tall and 100 pounds gained on average 2.2 fewer pounds if they lived in states with strong laws in the three

years studied. Also, children who were overweight or obese in fifth grade were more likely to reach a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the strongest laws. The effects weren’t huge, and the study isn’t proof that the laws influenced kids’ weight. But the results raised optimism among obesity researchers and public health experts who generally applaud strong laws to get junk food out of schools. “This is the first real evidence that the laws are likely to have an impact,” said Dr. Virginia Stallings, director of the nutrition center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Stallings chaired an Institute of Medicine panel that urged standards for making snack foods and drinks sold in schools more healthful but was not involved in the new research. The authors of the study, released online today in the journal Pediatrics, analyzed data on 6,300 students in 40 states. Their heights and weights were measured in spring 2004, when they were finishing fifth grade and soon to enter middle school, and in 2007, during the spring of eighth grade.

Formerly mired in debt so deep that he tried to commit suicide after yakuza thugs hounded him to repay loans, Toyoki Yoshida now works as a debt counselor for chronic borrowers.

Japan fears yakuza-backed loans as it debates easing rules By Shigeru Sato Bloomberg News

TOKYO — Toyoki Yoshida recalls the winter day in 2002 when he tried to hang himself with a leather belt after yakuza thugs hounded him for weeks to pay back 500,000 yen ($6,300) in loans. The belt ripped as his neck strained the noose, saving his life. The loans, with interest rates as high as 5,000 percent annually, were among those Yoshida owed to 96 loan sharks — some with connections to organized crime. Working in the billing department of a Tokyo electronics company, he’d been borrowing from consumerfinance companies to entertain clients and colleagues and fell into a spiral of debt which cost him his job. It ended when lawyers helped Yoshida terminate his contracts

through a bankruptcy filing and partial payments. “I’d started to borrow money from illegal lenders only after legitimate companies began refusing to front me cash,” the 40-year-old said in an interview in a drab debtcounseling office in the Tokyo suburb of Okegawa. “I was panicking. I didn’t have time to think.” As Japanese committing suicide for “economic reasons” climbed to almost 9,000 a year by the mid-2000s, according to the National Police Agency, Japan’s Diet passed a law in late 2006 clamping down on predatory lending. Such suicides fell to 6,400 last year, lending crimes dropped 24 percent since the crackdown to 366 cases, and the involvement in them of yakuza, or crime syndicates, fell to 83 from 142, the police reported.

Now lawmakers who say the legislation went too far in cutting credit to small businesses in a stagnant economy want to ease restrictions on so-called non-bank lending. That’s sparking conflict with the financial regulator and consumer advocates who argue that any loosening will bring back excessive borrowing and yakuza lending, enriching gangsters and increasing the suicide rate once again. “It’d be going backward,” said Kenji Utsunomiya, a former head of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations who has won court battles against yakuza-affiliated lenders. “The non-bank lending market must stay regulated because borrowers desperate for cash aren’t equal to lenders and are often putty in their hands.”

Iranian quake toll raised to 300 New York Times News Service TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian relief workers saved more than 200 people from the rubble of dozens of villages destroyed when two powerful earthquakes struck Saturday in a wide area north of the city of Tabriz, an Iranian official said on Sunday. The official, Hassan Ghadami, Iran’s deputy interior minister, said that “all those under debris have been rescued and those affected are now being provided with their basic needs,” the semiofficial Fars news agency reported. The head of Iran’s Relief and Emergency Organization said

that rescues were continuing. Reza Sedighi, a relief official in the area, told Fars that at least 300 people were killed Saturday, and other officials reported more than 4,500 injured, some severely. Doctors on the scene predicted that more people would be found under destroyed houses, mosques and farms. In total, 133 villages were damaged. Shortages of water and food are being reported throughout the quake zone, a mountainous region near the border with Azerbaijan. The quakes struck in quick succession, with the more powerful one measuring a magni-

tude of 6.4, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. Iranian news media said that the epicenters were near four smaller cities north of Tabriz: Ahar, Heris, Mehraban and Varzaqan. The villages near Varzaqan were hit especially hard, with many mud brick houses collapsing and trapping those inside, many of them women and children, said the region’s governor, Moharram Foroughi. Helicopters had to suspend rescue operations during the night as Iran — under international sanctions over its nuclear program — is barred from purchasing night-vision materials.

Continued from A1 From his Janesville neighborhood, Ryan was ferried to an airport in nearby Waukegan, Ill., and was not spotted until Saturday morning, when he stepped down from the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Va., to the soundtrack of “Air Force One.” Ryan’s journey to Norfolk, detailed by Romney adviser Beth Myers, illustrates the elaborate lengths to which the Romney campaign went to keep the vice presidential selection under wraps in the 10 days between when Romney settled on Ryan and when the GOP ticket was revealed. “We just knew that we wanted to try to do this very quietly,” Myers said at a Saturday evening briefing with reporters in a hanger at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. Myers detailed Romney’s four-month confidential search process, which she helmed but described as “Mitt’s decision.” The process began once Romney secured the GOP nomination in April. Myers met with former Vice President Cheney and former Secretary of State James Baker, both of whom ran vice presidential vetting in past cycles, for advice. In April, she presented Romney with a background briefing on a “large” number of candidates, and by early May they had formed a short list. Myers would not disclose who was on the short list, but it is believed to have included former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio), in addition to Ryan. Through May and June, a small team of lawyers worked in a secure room at the campaign’s Boston headquarters. They locked personal financial records — Myers said she reviewed “several” years of Ryan’s income tax returns — and other sensitive materials in a safe each night, and Myers said “no copies were ever made.” In mid-June, Myers met with Romney to go over preliminary vetting reports and later that month, at Romney’s donor retreat in Utah, she met with several candidates in person to go over issues that needed clarification. Romney periodically consulted a team of top advisers — strategists Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer, campaign manager Matt Rhoades, advisers Peter Flaherty, Eric Fehrnstrom, Ed Gillespie and Ron Kaufman, pollster Neil Newhouse and longtime friend Bob White. “Everyone was very candid with Mitt, they offered their input and perspective,” Myers said. “He also talked to a lot of people outside that group informally — a lot of people.” But Myers said she did not share her thoughts on whom Romney should pick because she thought it was important to maintain her impartiality. Although Romney had want-

Ticket complete, crowds swell HIGH POINT, N.C. — On his second day as a vice-presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan emerged Sunday as a tough-talking sidekick and flattering biographer for Mitt Romney, playing roles that Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, has sometimes struggled to master. Ryan, who has frequently clashed with President Barack Obama over the size and mission of the federal government as chairman of the House Budget Committee, denounced the president’s policies as failures and his governing style as corrosive. “President Obama came into office with hope and change,” Ryan said at a factory here. “His policies have been put in place. They are not working. They are failing us. He didn’t moderate one bit at all. So now he’s turned hope and change into attack and blame, and we’re not going to fall for it.” The crowds at Romney campaign stops have swelled significantly since he named Ryan as his running mate, breaking records for the candidate. There were 8,000 people at an outdoor rally in Manassas, Va., on Saturday, at which a number of attendees fainted because of long lines and humidity. Ryan’s burst of campaigning came as Democrats seized on his selection to try to define him as an extremist politician who would destroy Medicare and deprive women of abortion rights. “Congressman Ryan is a right-wing ideologue, and that is reflected in the positions that he’s taken,” said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the Obama campaign. “He is quite extreme — good, good person, you know, genial person — but his views are quite harsh,” Axelrod said on the program “State of the Union” on CNN. — New York Times News Service

ed to consider naming a vice president earlier in the summer, he and Myers ended up deciding to make the announcement after he returned from his late July foreign trip. When he returned home to Boston on Aug. 1, Romney largely had made up his mind, Myers said. But first he gathered his top advisers for a final “gut check” meeting at campaign headquarters. Then Romney retired with Myers to her office, where after a long talk he told her his decision: Ryan. Romney picked up the phone to call Ryan, but did not yet offer him the job. They scheduled a face-to-face meeting for that Sunday, Aug. 5, in Boston. Speculation was swirling in the news media about Romney’s running mate, and Ryan was being followed by a campaign embed from NBC News. “We knew we had to be very diligent in throwing her off the scent,” Myers said. Myers wanted to ensure that Ryan would not be spotted making his way to Boston. So he told the congressman to dress casually for a flight between Chicago O’Hare to Hartford, Conn. Ryan, wearing jeans, a baseball hat and sunglasses, flew undetected to Hartford, where Myers’ 19-year-old son, Curt, picked him up in a rented sportutility vehicle and drove back to the family home in Brookline, Mass. After lunch with the Myerses, Romney drove down from his vacation home in Wolfeboro, N.H., where he was taking the day off the campaign trail, to see Ryan. They met alone in Myers’ dining room for more than an hour. That’s where Romney asked Ryan to be his vice presidential nominee, and Ryan accepted. “By the time we met in person I kind of knew it was going to happen,” Ryan recalled. “I

was very humbled.” Romney told reporters, “We talked about the campaign and how it would be run and how we’d work together if we get the White House, what the relationship would be and how we’d interact and be involved in important decisions. We talked about our families and what this meant for them.” After accepting Romney’s offer, Ryan sat down with Rhoades, Gillespie, White and Spencer Zwick, the campaign’s national finance chairman. That was also when he learned of the deadly shooting at a Sikh temple in his Wisconsin district, Myers said. Meanwhile, Myers said, a handful of campaign officials, including Romney’s personal assistant, Kelli Harrison, began covertly planning the Ryan announcement for Friday in New Hampshire — which has become a symbolic base for Romney’s campaign. But those plans were scratched because the Sikh temple memorial service was Friday, and Ryan was going to attend it. So campaign officials turned to Plan B: A roll-out on Saturday at the start of Romney’s swing state bus tour. Hoping to maintain the element of surprise, the campaign went to elaborate lengths to keep Ryan’s movements undetected. After attending Friday’s memorial, Ryan returned home, where reporters had been staking him out. Ryan sneaked out the back door, through the woods and out to a waiting car driven by his chief of staff, Andy Speth. Ryan took a chartered flight from Waukegan, Ill., to Elizabeth City, N.C., where he was whisked to a Fairfield Inn to be reunited with his wife, Janna, and their three children. On Saturday, the Ryans drove to Norfolk for his debut on the USS Wisconsin.

Credit Continued from A1 The concerns echo a recent abuse in the foreclosure system, a practice known as robo-signing in which banks produced similar documents for different homeowners and did not review them. “I would say that roughly 90 percent of the credit-card lawsuits are flawed and can’t prove the person owes the debt,” said Noach Dear, a state civil court judge in New York, who said he presides over as many as 100 such cases a day. Last year, American Express sued Felicia Tancreto, claiming that she had stopped making payments and owed more than $16,000 on her credit card. While Tancreto was behind on her payments, she contested owing the full amount, according to court records. In April, Dear dismissed the lawsuit, citing a lack of evidence. The American Express employee who testified, the judge noted, provided generic testimony about the way the company maintained its records. The same witness gave similar evidence in other cases, which the judge said amounted to “robo-testimony.”

Companies defend their actions American Express and other credit card companies defended their practices. Sonya Conway, a spokeswoman for American Express, said, “we strongly disagree with Judge Dear’s comments and believe that we have a strong process in place to ensure accuracy of testimony and affidavits provided to courts.” Interviews with dozens of state judges, regulators and lawyers, however, indicated that such flaws are increasingly common in credit card suits. In certain instances, lenders are trying to collect money from consumers who have already paid their bills or increasing the size of the debts by adding erroneous fees and interest costs. The scope of the lawsuits is vast. Some consumers dispute that they owe money at all. More commonly, borrowers are behind on their payments but contest the size of their debts. The problem, according to judges, is that credit card companies are not always following the proper legal procedures, even when they have the right to collect money. Certain cases hinge on mass-produced documents because the lenders do not provide proof of the outstanding debts, like the original contract or payment history. At times, lawsuits include falsified credit card statements, produced years after borrowers supposedly fell behind on their bills, according to the judges and others in the industry. “This is robo-signing redux,” Peter Holland, a lawyer who runs the Consumer Protection Clinic at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Lawsuits against credit

Online Continued from A1 As a public school, it’s free and required to accept all students. “We don’t limit who has the opportunity to attend,” J.D. McMahan, an agent for the school, said. “It’s a school of choice.” The school says students from a variety of backgrounds can find the flexibility a good fit. Examples include students who need extra attention in certain subjects, high school students who need to catch up on credits and students with health problems. Unlike a school building with set class times, students can work when it fits their schedules. “What it amounts to is the education wraps itself around the life of a child as opposed to a child having to report to a site every day,” McMahan said. “It’s tailored to the individual child.” Insight plans to also offer opportunities for students to gather for social activities like field trips.

card borrowers are flooding the courts, according to the judges. While the amount of bad debt has fallen since the financial crisis, lenders are trying to work through the soured loans and clean up their books. In all, borrowers are behind on $18.7 billion of credit card debt, or roughly 3 percent of the total, according to Equifax and Moody’s Analytics.

Decoys Continued from A1 Earlier this month, the OLCC went to 20 places to spot check who was selling to minors. Only two of the places, the Jackpot Food Mart and the Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant, both in Bend, sold to minors. Minor decoys present their valid driver’s licenses with their real birthdates

showing they are underage. In 2011, the statewide average compliance rate was 76 percent. In Deschutes County, the most recent check last month found a 90 percent compliance rate. Christie Scott, spokeswoman for the OLCC, said the goal is not to bust people, but prevent people from getting hurt. “If someone sells to a minor, they aren’t going to sell to

a minor again,” she said. “We don’t tell people that the person needs to be fired. We do tell the person selling to the minor that if that minor goes out and damages, injures or even causes a death ... the person who sold alcohol to them could be held responsible.” The protection, she said, is both for the minor and the server or seller. When Chick was a decoy,

she said, she took some flak from her friends who work in the restaurant and bar industry. But, she said, she felt like it was a public service. “I see it as keeping minors safe and me safe,” she said. The Bend OLCC office offers a free class on checking identifications. Contact the office at 541-388-6292. — Reporter: 541-554-1162, ldake@bendbulletin.com

FTC taking steps The Federal Trade Commission is working with courts across the country to improve the process for pursuing borrowers who are behind on their credit card payments, mortgages and other bills. In a recent review of the consumer litigation system, the commission found that credit card issuers and other companies were basing some lawsuits on incomplete or false paperwork. “Our concerns center on the fact that debt collection lawsuits are a pure volume business,” said Tom Pahl, assistant director for the FTC’s division of financial practices. “The documentation is very bare bones.” The lenders disputed the suggestion that they file lawsuits that include flawed or inaccurate documentation. “We look at account records in our system to individually verify the accuracy of information before affidavits are filed and testimony is given,” said Conway, the American Express spokeswoman, who declined to comment on specific borrowers. The industry has faced similar criticism over practices stemming from the housing crisis. Amid a surge in foreclosures, state attorneys general accused the banks of using faulty documents without reviewing them and improperly seizing homes. In February, five big banks agreed to pay $26 billion to settle the matter. The errors in credit card suits often go undetected, according to the judges. Unlike in foreclosures, the borrowers typically do not show up in court to defend themselves. As a result, an estimated 95 percent of lawsuits result in default judgments in favor of lenders. With a default judgment, credit card companies can garnish a consumer’s wages or freeze bank accounts to get their money back. In 2010, Discover sued Taryn Gregory for more than $7,000 in credit card debt. Gregory, of Commerce, Ga., had fallen behind on her bills, but said she had only accumulated $4,000 in debt. After the suit was filed, Gregory, a 41-year-old childcare assistant, asked Discover for proof of the balance. The resulting documents, which were reviewed by The New York Times, have inconsistencies. One statement, for example, says it was produced in 2004, but advertisements on the bottom of the document bear a 2010 date. The lawsuit against Gregory is still pending. Discover declined to comment.

Olympics Continued from A1 She appears in gargantuan, Mao-size posters throughout the town. The mere mention of her inspires almost giddy delight in the residents of Sheffield, a long-hard-on-its-luck northern town perhaps best known to Americans as the setting of the blue-collar striptease film “The Full Monty.” In the words of Rachel Dempsey, the manager of the bar adjacent to the golden mailbox, “This town’s gone mental.” After months and months of high unemployment and stern austerity, crooked bankers and shady journalists, and the hangover of riots that set parts of London on fire, the idea of a national revel seemed almost laughable, even more preposterous than revelry would usually seem in this land of sang-froid. Among those whom Mayor Boris Johnson of London calls “the Olympo-skeptics and gloomadon poppers,” it was almost a sport in itself to point out every budget overrun and logistical hiccup as evidence of the disaster that would naturally follow on such an earnest enterprise as the Olympic Games.

‘At fever pitch’ Even after the opening ceremony, which surprised many for being properly spectacular and deeply, ironically and absurdly British, there were still expectations of a debacle, with incompetent security officials, traffic snarls, apocalyptic downpours, corporate bloat and an embarrassingly low berth in the medal table. Many of those outside of London considered the games a local phenomenon, and a wasteful one at that. And yet as the games come to a close, here in Sheffield as well as all over Britain, a patriotic delirium has descended. “The attitude was, ‘It has nothing to do with us up here,’” said Martyn Boardman, a consultant in town on business who with his phone had just snapped a photograph of the mailbox, one of more than two dozen around the country that were painted gold in honor of hometown Olympic champions. “But then one or two medals, and all of a sudden, we’re at fever pitch.” The perk-up began with the opening ceremony but took hold on Aug. 1, when the cyclist Bradley Wiggins, the first Briton to win the Tour de France, became the only rider to have won the Tour and an Olympic gold medal in the same year. “Whatever happens from here,” a columnist for The

instruction in an area while also attending classes at a local school. “It’s not an online school,” said Shay Mikalson, the district’s executive director of curriculum and instructional technology. “It’s technology resources we’re trying to provide all of our students.” Mikalson stressed that the program isn’t intended to replace schools — just add another option for the district’s students. It’s also a choice that’s wellsuited for nontraditional students, Mikalson said. Examples include students traveling with their parents, recovering from health problems or working day jobs to help their families. The program doesn’t force students and parents to decide between online and classroom instruction, though. For example, classroom teachers can provide the online curriculum to students as a supplemental resource to extend learning beyond the school day, Mikalson said.

National study A recent study calls into question the results of virtual schools in which students re-

Visitors take portraits next to a mailbox painted in gold in honor of Jessica Ennis, a gold medalwinning British heptathlete, in Sheffield, England. As the medal count kept rising, so did the country’s enthusiasm for the games.

Daily Mail wrote, “it will be hard to top this.” But the golds continued — seven more in cycling, four in rowing, three in equestrian. There have been British golds won in the cathedrals of English sport, like Andy Murray’s tennis victory at Wimbledon, and in events that most people would be hard-pressed to define, like men’s keirin. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been seen at events displaying get-aroom levels of affection, and articles have appeared in the news media exploring why the British had not won gold medals in a given event rather than the more characteristic converse. But what had been a balmy Olympic fever became a roiling epidemic on Aug. 4, when the British had their greatest night of track success ever, with a gold in the long jump, Britain’s first gold in the 10,000 meters and Ennis’ golden smile coming across the finish line in the final event of the heptathlon. With that, the whole of Britain seemed nearly to come unglued. “I’ve been in the Millennium Stadium when Wales have clinched a last-gasp win against England in the Six Nations,” wrote a sports reporter for The Western Mail, a Welsh paper, describing a rugby triumph, “but I have never heard such a noise as that which erupted on Saturday.” This is saying something indeed. While England’s St. George’s cross, Wales’s red dragon and the Scottish saltire are all common sights

in soccer season, as the kingdom un-unites in rooting partisanship, a Union Jack is typically a rare find. That is no longer true. “I’ve never seen so many Union Jacks,” Rachel Dickens, a teacher in Sheffield, said. “They’re on cars and houses in people’s gardens.” The whole display has even prompted a small backlash, mostly in the person of Morrissey, the musician, who to a list of tour dates appended a statement disparaging the whole spectacle and questioning whether England had “ever been quite so foul with patriotism.”

ceive online instruction. The study, completed by the Colorado-based National Education Policy Center, found that virtual schools operated by K12 Inc., a for-profit company, have weaker academic results than brick-and-mortar schools. K12’s online curricula have caught on in Oregon and across the U.S. The Herndon, Va.-based company, started in 1999, operates virtual schools and also provides curricula to schools. (K12 doesn’t directly operate the Bend-La Pine Schools program or the Insight School of Oregon, but its curricula will be used by both.) The study found that just 27.4 percent of K12-operated schools made adequate yearly progress in 2010-11 under the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Meanwhile, 52 percent of public schools made adequate yearly progress. On-time graduation rates were also low. K12-operated virtual schools graduated students at a rate of 49.1 percent. That falls short of the overall 79.4 percent graduation rate of public schools. Gary Miron, a professor of

education with Western Michigan University, is one of the study’s drafters. He says its findings point to broader challenges with virtual schools, not just those of K12 Inc. Miron said virtual education has a place in the future, but that parents also may need to invest more time into their children’s education if the learning happens outside a traditional classroom setting. “They need to know if a student’s going to succeed in this model, they have to be heavily involved,” Miron said. With lower grades, that’s easier, but it is more challenging for parents when their children are in higher grades and taking advanced math classes, he said. Miron drew a distinction between virtual schools with fulltime online instruction and other programs, such as those that combine classroom and online instruction. K12 disputes the findings of the study. In a statement, the company said the report relies on “static end-of-the-year test data” that doesn’t go far enough. For example, the report doesn’t look at similar student populations, only school-

County pride, too But Morrissey appears to be in the minority. The success of Britain is such that people are tallying up medals not only by country but by county, informing a reporter where Yorkshire alone would stand in the medal table (16th as of Friday night, but 11th in golds, ahead of Japan and the Netherlands and only one behind Australia). And some have asked whether it is time to finally move past this Victorian business of cheering for a good game rather than a victory, to becoming, as one English photographer said, “a bit more one-eyed about things.” “Britain’s sort of moved on from this stiff-upper-lip reserve to something a bit more aggressive, having a desire to win rather than just play fair and settle for second best,” said Stephan Richeux, a spokesman for the Notting-

ham City Council. As part of this new aggressive Britain, people are apparently even going to the gym. Richeux said yearly memberships to Nottingham-run fitness centers were up 127 percent over the same two-week period last year. (Then again, Olympian effort being what it is, queries about Lipoglaze, a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment performed at the LoveLite clinic in London, have “more than quadrupled” since the games began, said Debra Robson, one of the clinic’s directors.) In Sheffield, meanwhile, the line at the mailbox continues. “I’ve watched a lot more than I thought I would and I watched more diverse sport — some of it I don’t even know the rules,” said Richard Hill, who came to take a photograph of the mailbox despite being an employee of the Royal Mail and, one might imagine, having seen his share of mailboxes. “Before the games, it was the London games, and now it’s the British games,” Hill said. “It’s like we actually put on something well, which we don’t normally have a lot of confidence about doing.” Hill’s colleague Chris Sanderson declined to photograph the mailbox, however. Someone must stand for the old verities. “I think it’s still the London games and I think they should keep it,” he said. “There’s no way to get away from it. I’ve got to sit through two weeks of absolutely dire television. It’s even worse than normal.”

level data, the company said. K12 also said the study doesn’t take into account overall student growth, which isn’t evident on adequate yearly progress reports. Based on surveys, the company said 76 percent of parents cited concerns about the traditional school environment as their motivation for choosing K12 programs. Overall, more than 90 percent of parents said they were satisfied and 88 percent said they would recommend K12, the company said, citing its survey results. Mikalson said the K12 curriculum is just one of an assortment of tools and curricula for online learning in Bend-La Pine Schools, also noting that the study focused on K12-operated schools. Asked about the study’s assertion that more parent involvement is needed, McMahan said more parental input will help children regardless of their choice of school. “I think it’s the responsibility of a parent no matter how their child is educated to be involved,” McMahan said. — Reporter: 541-977-7185, bbotkin@bendbulletin.com.

Stormy end likely for week

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Bend police expect they’ll take in around 100 reports through their online crime reporting system in the first month the system has been available. The system, provided by California company Coplogic, went live July 17.

The Bend Police Department paid Coplogic approximately $12,000 to set up the system, according to Lt. Paul Kansky, and will pay roughly $7,000 annually for software updates and maintenance. For now, Bend residents can use the system to report a limited range of common property crimes

Temperatures at or above 90 degrees are expected for most of this week, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in Central Oregon starting on Friday, according to the National Weather Service. The high for today is expected to reach 93 degrees, with a low of 51. On Tuesday, the high should stay in the low 90s, with a low of 45. Wednesday is expected to be cooler, with the high dropping to 87 degrees and a low of 53. The temperatures are likely to edge back up Thursday, when a high of 90 to 91 is predicted. On Friday, the high is expected to stay around 90 degrees, with a low of about 51. There’s also a chance of showers and thunderstorms starting Friday and extending into Saturday and Sunday, when temperatures might dip as low as 83 degrees. There is a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers for the weekend, with the highest probability of rain on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, said Douglas Weber, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Pendleton.

— e.g. criminal mischief, lost property, theft from a vehicle, basic theft and noninjury hit-and-run. So far, police have resolved two cases reported online, Kansky said, recovering a stolen bicycle and a solving a hit-and-run. See System / B2

In a rare event that shows nature is still in charge, a wave of boulders, sand and mud slid down the mountain from Circ Lake near Three Fingered Jack in the Canyon Creek Meadow late last month. “Imagine very rocky, muddy slurries with sand and silt … something of the consistency of wet cement,” said David Sherrod, a scientist with

the U.S. Geological Survey. Debris flows, as they are called, are rare and unpredictable.

Online crime reports rolling in

14th St.

lympic gold medalist Ashton Eaton was born in Portland, went to high school in Bend and lives in Eugene. But he’s from La Pine. At least, that’s if La Pine residents have any say in it. Eaton attended La Pine Elementary School. His grandparents still live there. He mentions his La Pine roots in media interviews sometimes. La Pine residents — who complain that their town is often overshadowed by Bend and Redmond — are basking in the glow of decathlon’s brightest star. As the Olympics approached, La Pine businesses posted messages such as “Go Get ’Em Ashton” and “Go Ashton Eaton — La Pine’s Olympian” on their letter boards. Thursday happened to be Eaton’s grandmother’s birthday, so the Olympian and his mother had flowers delivered to her house. But, as La Pine Elementary School principal Tammy Doty points out, the real gift was the gold medal that Eaton won in London that day. The medal might as well have been a gift to all of La Pine. “It shows that anyone can do anything,” Doty says. Teacher Jodie Breneman still remembers meeting little Ashton Eaton. He enrolled in her first-grade class a few weeks after the 1994-95 school year started. He walked in and flashed his wide grin, which was missing several teeth. Breneman was charmed on the spot. And she wasn’t alone. “The kids, the staff — everybody loved Ashton,” Doty says. Breneman says the boy was quiet but eager to participate. He gave his full effort to every task, she adds. When Breneman retired six years ago, Eaton came to her retirement party and brought flowers. “For most of us, he was truly special before this,” Breneman says. “If he had never gone on (to the Olympics), he would have been a student that I kept in touch with.” School officials say Eaton’s mother, Roz, set a good example of community involvement. A country music fan, she volunteered at the elementary school to teach line dancing to physical education classes. Even in grade school, there were hints that Eaton was a gifted athlete. “I remember having to tell him to walk in the hall. Good thing he didn’t listen,” Doty says with a laugh. Last week, school staff gathered around a computer in the front office to watch Eaton win the gold. In such a small town, locals predict that some of Eaton’s fame will rub off on his grandparents. “They’ll get a lot of high fives, I’d imagine,” says Brent Fisher, manager of Gordy’s Truck Stop Restaurant. Eaton now joins golfer Tom Watson and singer Kenny Rogers on his list of celebrities who have eaten at Gordy’s. Of course, La Pine isn’t the only place laying claim to Ashton Eaton. At Bend’s Tower Theatre on Thursday — where the decathlon’s final two events, the javelin throw and 1,500-meter race, aired live — the crowd looked like an ode to Eaton’s entire sporting career. Some, of course, wore red, white and blue, in honor of Eaton’s spot on Team USA. Others wore green and yellow, a nod to the University of Oregon, where Eaton earned his degree and won five NCAA championships. Some even donned red, white and black Mountain View High School regalia. The clothes seemed to be a way for fans to claim a piece of Eaton for themselves. “I’m an Oregon Duck, just like Eaton.” Or, “I’m a Mountain View Cougar and so is he.” That a champion like Eaton grew from the same rocky soil where all of us tread can’t help but make this place a little more special. Melissa Cooper, records secretary at La Pine Elementary School, says Eaton’s achievements are an inspiration. “Just because you’re in a small town,” she says, “doesn’t mean you can’t have success.”

System LOCAL BRIEFING Continued from B1

Pacific Crest Trail hiker found dead A hiker from California was found dead at his campsite near Charlton Lake on Saturday afternoon after he was reported missing, the Deschutes County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said. William Jeffery, 54, of San Marcos, Calif., appeared to have died of natural causes, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said in a news release. The Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office received a report about the hiker Friday evening, when his wife reported him missing. Jeffery was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail after his wife dropped him off at Elk Lake on Tuesday. She reported him missing when he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet her at Odell Lake as agreed. Because it was getting dark and Jeffery was an experienced hiker and had food, water and shelter, deputies decided to check up on him in the morning to see if he had hiked out on his own. Deputies and Deschutes County Search and Rescue team members started looking for him on Saturday morning, and found him at 3:32 p.m. The Lane County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Search and Rescue team assisted in the effort.

Continued from B1 Kansky said police often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve a large portion of the kinds of crimes that can be reported through the online system, but the reports are useful. Car break-ins or vandalism, for instance, often involve dozens of offenses by the same suspect or suspects, he said. When police do capture a suspect, reports can help link

additional acts to the suspect and return stolen property to its owner. Although police will continue taking reports over the phone and in person, moving some reporting online should free up officers to spend more time investigating crimes. Kansky said driving to a victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, taking a report, and returning to the office to write the report generally takes 20 minutes to an hour of

an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. If, as projected, Bend police collect 1,200 reports online in the first year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at an average of 45 minutes per report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it adds up to 900 hours of officer time saved, he said, or nearly the equivalent of adding a half-time officer. The system should also save time for crime victims, who â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during busy periods of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; might have to wait more than an hour for an officer to come to their home.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to spend just as much time telling an officer about this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and definitely more waiting for the officer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than they are just going online and doing it themselves,â&#x20AC;? Kansky said.

YOUNG RANCH HAND

Freeda Endicott, of Redmond, snapped this photo of â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tater,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the little cowboy with a big attitude,â&#x20AC;? during a calf branding using a Canon ELPH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a juice mustache, his boots were unzipped and on the wrong feet, his hat was as big as he was,â&#x20AC;? wrote Endicott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was great!â&#x20AC;?

Faire Continued from B1 This year, about 130 artists applied, and 60 were selected through a jury process. That meant a wide variety of artwork. Besides paintings, artists also brought sculptures, pottery and glasswork. Gil Harrison, a potter from Cottage Grove, had a mix of bowls, mugs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;ritual jars.â&#x20AC;? For those three-legged jars, Harrison leaves the use up to the owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I call them ritual jars waiting for a ritual,â&#x20AC;? he said. Kevin Budde, of Portland, brought glasswork created from wine bottles. To make them, he heats up old wine bottles to almost 1,600 degrees. From there, they take a new shape as a wine

Debris flow Continued from B1 There are a handful of these lakes in Central Oregon, which are products of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Ice Ageâ&#x20AC;? from the 1800s to the 1930s, Willis said. When the glaciers began melting in the 1930s, lakes formed behind moraines and small dams that are susceptible to rupture. When the dam at Circ Lake widened and the lake lost about 4.3 cubic meters of height, water and silt dropped into the meadows 400 meters away, Sherrod said. He compared it to 500 dump trucks dumping their cargo at once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These lakes have the capacity to burst suddenly and shed large flood events,â&#x20AC;? Sherrod said. The lake measured 20 feet

bottle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; albeit a flat, decorative one. Budde, who left a banking career for glasswork 12 years ago, said he takes the craftsmanship seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on it,â&#x20AC;? he said. For the youngsters, the Kids Art Center offered a chance to try their hands at art.

There was no entrance fee for attendees; the money comes primarily from business sponsors and the spaces that artists rent. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter: 541-977-7185, bbotkin@bendbulletin.com

O N Holloway Fire growth slows, officials report

AGING IN OREGON

Photos by Dominique Fong / The Oregonian

The Wild Bunch members joke about the stigmas of Alzheimer’s disease Tuesday. The group of Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers gather each month in an effort to battle the loneliness surrounding the disease.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The massive Holloway Fire in southeast Oregon continued to grow, but only marginally, wildfire managers said Sunday. The fire has burned 279 square miles of brush and sagebrush in Oregon and 218 square miles in Nevada. No occupied homes are threatened in the sparsely populated area, but the fire concerns a ranching community that lost much of its summer forage in the recent Long Draw Fire. Fire spokesman Jack deGolia said several abandoned homes are threatened. Another fire representative, Alexis West, said there was not much growth

in the blaze Sunday but added that a shift in wind expected later could test fire lines. Officials also said dry lightning was forecast overnight Sunday. Dry conditions and thick vegetation have made working on the fire difficult, according to officials.

Antelope hunters Antelope season opened Saturday, and the Bureau of Land Management closed land west of U.S. Highway 95 between Whitehorse Road and the Nevada state line to protect hunters. West said the closure remained in effect Sunday. The blaze, named for a mountain in northern Nevada, was 40 percent contained. In south-central Oregon, the Barry Point Fire remained ac-

tive Sunday and had burned about 48 square miles of timber, brush and grass southwest of Lakeview. Like the Holloway Fire, the blaze was ignited this week by lightning. Fire spokeswoman Renee Snyder said an evacuation notice remained in effect for about 15 homes near Drews Reservoir. Residents in another 30 homes have been advised they might receive such a notice and should have a plan in place if the situation worsens. Fire crews have contained 25 percent of the fire that’s burning on private and Fremont-Winema National Forest lands. The weather forecast for the area where Oregon, California and Nevada converge calls for hot, dry weather through Friday.

Alzheimer’s patients get a sense 3 wounded in shootout near Albany of community in Portland groups By Dominique Fong The Oregonian

PORTLAND — They used to call themselves I Forget, they joked. Until a few forgot the name, and they quickly scrapped it for the Wild Bunch. The group of Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers love to carry on like teenagers at their monthly potlucks, chuckling at the ironies of memory loss, losing track of how many glasses of wine they’ve had amid the laughs. “If we can talk about it and laugh about forgetfulness, it tends to lighten the load,” said Dave Caswell, a resident of the Oak Hills neighborhood north of Beaverton who started the social group of 12 people. They’ve banded together over the past two years against a brain disease that has no cure, only treatments that delay its worsening. A social taboo also lingers. The fear of growing old and “going crazy” keeps people from asking for help and contributes to feelings of isolation. Social meet-ups, such as the Wild Bunch and a monthly Alzheimer’s Cafe in Beaverton, have become crucial to overcoming the stigma and loneliness of Alzheimer’s disease. Oregon’s first statewide plan for Alzheimer’s disease, recently released, underscored the need for increased public awareness. The report called for more partnerships with advocacy groups, more training for medical and social service professionals and a central website about the disease and related dementias. About 76,000 Oregonians have Alzheimer’s, and more than 165,000 people are unpaid caregivers — often a spouse, relative or close friend — who report high emotional and physical stress. People often don’t know the difference between signs of normal aging — such as occasionally forgetting your keys — and Alzheimer’s disease. That feeds into a public fear similar to that surrounding cancer two decades ago, said Kristrun Grondal, the Oregon program director for the Alzheimer’s Association. “There’s a need for caregivers and people with the disease to have a place to go to socialize, to learn, to interact, to prevent some of that isolation and minimize some of that stress often for people with this disease,” Grondal said. “We’re very glad that people are taking some action and building some services to meet this need.” Lifelong friends Kappy Lundy, 71, and Barbara Thompson, 67, found support from other couples in their social group the Wild Bunch. After being married to the same man, their friendship grew stronger. Lundy stepped in as caregiver to Thompson, who has mild cognitive impairment. The Wild Bunch began as a motley group of strangers. During an eight-month series on memory loss, five mar-

Barbara Thompson and Candice Luis of the Wild Bunch share food at their monthly potluck Tuesday. Thompson has minor cognitive impairment from Alzheimer’s.

ried couples and two women shared some of the most intimate experiences of their lives. When the class ended, they weren’t about to let that go. “My wife and I were on our way home from that meeting, and we said, no, this can’t be,” said Caswell, 78. “We’ve really grown to love these people and care for each other. Let’s invite them all over to our house in Beaverton for a potluck.” Dinner parties became a respite from loneliness. Frank discussions over home-cooked chicken soothed daily frustrations. Giving up driving. Handing over cellphones. Running into the despair that the disease is only getting worse. After his wife, Hallie, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Caswell recognized that he had to separate the disease from the woman he fell in love with, the enthusiastic horseback rider, the mother of their four children. “We’re in this together,” Caswell said. “Don’t get mad at the person. Get mad at the disease. Don’t get frustrated with your wife. Get frustrated with the doggone disease that she’s got, that she didn’t volunteer for.” They have their moments. She once broke down in sobs at Trader Joe’s. He pays the bills, cooks, drives, does the laundry, loads the dishwasher. Not that he didn’t do those before — there’s just nobody now to help him. Hallie Caswell, 75, knows it’s hard on her husband. “It’s not guilt, because I’m not trying to do it,” she said. “I just feel sad. Real sad.” She wouldn’t know what she’d do, she said, if the Wild Bunch broke up. The Wild Bunch stand by an unwritten pact. Help, whenever needed, is just a phone call away. Calls have led to meals for the sick, rides for Alzheimer’s patients who gave up their driver’s license and many a coffee chat. They hope others will find their own niche of companionship. “We, as a group, really clicked,” said Milton Amaral, a Lake Oswego caregiver who looks after his wife, Meme, who has Alzheimer’s. “We’ve just been doing that, sharing joys and heartaches.”

In Beaverton, a free monthly Alzheimer’s Cafe held in Southminster Presbyterian Church lifts the pressure off burdened caregivers. Kathy Ayers, a social worker for LifeWorks NW, and Suzanne Van Slyke, a nurse, modeled the first Alzheimer’s Cafe in Oregon after a similar concept popular in the Netherlands. Anyone can attend the meetings. Social mingling is followed by a short presentation from an expert, such as a representative for an assisted living community or a lawyer specializing in elder care. “There’s really not a lot of rules,” Ayers said. “It’s just an opportunity to ask questions and get answers. So if we see things that need help, we can give referrals.” Warren Aney, 76, of Metzger, showed up to stay abreast of the disease that has affected his wife, Joyce. He insisted on getting tested for his own memory, in case it starts decaying, too. He goes for walks with the dog, to keep from being lazy at home, he said. “The less you do, the less you find you’re able to do,” Aney said. Aney, a former state wildlife biologist with a love of science, resolved that his wife’s disease would not stop their adventures. They’ve been a team for 52 years, traveling to Tahiti and Bora Bora. The days are simpler now for the Aneys: eating, sleeping and going to aquatics class. “We’re not able to engage in deep conversations anymore,” Aney said. He paused, his voice labored. “Which ... I miss ... of course.” But that won’t stop him from treating her. The next destination may not be Australia, a place he’s dreamed of visiting since grade school, or faraway Sweden, as they’d once discussed. They’ll stay closer to home, visiting Steens Mountain and glacier-carved gorges. Like the Aneys, the Wild Bunch will keep moving onward. “Alzheimer’s can bring you together quite easily,” said Meme Amaral, 72, who lives with the disease. She calls it “a glue that keeps us all together.”

The Associated Press ALBANY — A Benton County sheriff’s sergeant, a Salem police officer and a fleeing suspect were wounded Saturday night after exchanging gunfire following a police chase that ended near Albany. The Benton County deputy and the suspect were seriously wounded, authorities said Sunday. The 32-year-old suspect was airlifted to Oregon Health & Sciences University in Portland. Authorities on Sunday withheld his name. Authorities said Benton County sergeant David Peterson was listed in serious

condition at a Corvallis hospital Sunday. Salem police officer Andrew Connolly, 46, was treated for a single gunshot wound and released. Authorities said the suspect was spotted Saturday night with a gun at Albany-area resident’s backyard. The resident, who told authorities she knew the man, called police. The man left her residence in a stolen vehicle.

Just before midnight, the man emerged from brush about 2 miles north of Adair Park just south of the BentonPolk County line, encountered a search team and gunfire was exchanged.

Council should reject ordinance on false alarms

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baaaack. On Wednesday, the Bend City Council again is scheduled to discuss a false alarm ordinance.

When the ordinance was last voted on, the council split 3-3, with one councilor absent. If the council is at all representative of the residents of Bend, that split should tell you that about half the people in Bend think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad idea. So do we. The city says it has a false alarm problem. It says police respond to an average of 2,167 false alarm calls per year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly six a day. Based on that total number of alarms, the police department wastes $111,000 a year chasing false alarms. Bend Police Chief Jeff Sale says the 2,167 number is based on an actual count of calls police responded to that were identified as false alarms. His department estimated the costs based on assumptions that usually two officers respond to an alarm call and on the average time involved to track down the owner. Cities around the country are tussling with similar problems. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like parts of Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed solution. It starts off bad. One mistake, one false alarm and the city starts fining. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost inevitable that an

alarm system will misfire. There are so many ways it can happen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the errant chewing of the lovable family pet, a howling storm or somebody just forgets the code. The city knows thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen. Why set up a policy designed to punish people for the first innocent mistake? Yes, there is a fine appeal process to the police chief, but why add such a hassle to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives? The city fines for the third false alarm now, which is far more reasonable. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fee embedded in the ordinance. The new policy does not include a registration fee for alarm owners. It allows one to be implemented. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the concept of justice and punishment all wrong. The city should not be out to punish everyone by slapping fees on every alarm owner. It should adjust fines to, you know, punish the guilty and pay for the costs of responding to false alarms. The council should oppose the ordinance in its current form.

Transit financial troubles need long-term solutions

s an article in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper made painfully clear, Cascades East Transit faces the prospect of cutting services even as those who use its bus system would like to see those services expanded. Ultimately, balancing the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is a must, though the agency is looking hard at ways to be there for those who use its â&#x20AC;&#x153;demand responseâ&#x20AC;? (or, by reservation only) buses outside Bend. CET, which is operated by the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, has been in business for about six years, operating dial-aride services first, then shuttles between Central Oregon cities, and, most recently, the city of Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fixed-route bus system, which it operates by agreement with the city. While the Bend system remains financially sound, the same cannot be said for services outside Bend. Scott Aycock, transportation planner for COIC, says that if CET spends what it did last year on the services, about $2.4 million, it will lose $313,000, unless something changes. Its problems are the result of such things as rising fuel prices and Public Employee Retirement System payments for drivers who

work outside Bend and are direct CET employees. In the short run, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if CET trims its demand response service in rural areas, at least for a time, though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no decision made. If it does, it no doubt will work with groups like Volunteers in Action to try to assure that those who must travel from places like Sisters to Bend will be able to get from their homes outside the Sisters city limits to regularly scheduled buses within the city. The bigger issue is how to finance the system in the long run, however, and even as COIC works on CETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate future, it is looking for more permanent sources of income for the system. Other systems have relied on everything from utility fees to payroll taxes, and CET officials no doubt will consider those and other ideas, as well. It should. Despite the rocky start public transit got in Bend, CETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand response and fixed-route buses are critical services for those who use them, the elderly, the disabled, those without cars and others. They cannot be allowed to disappear.

My Nickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worth Bias shows in coverage of garments Last May, Ann Romney wore a $990 silk shirt. The Washington Post and other liberal mainstream media lambasted her for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of touchâ&#x20AC;? with the average American. They felt she was flaunting her wealth, thus was unable to identify with the general public. Michelle Obama is in London attending the Olympics. She attended a reception at Buckingham Palace wearing a cap sleeve jacket valued at $6,800, considerably more than Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garment. However, the Washington Post didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take Obama to task for the exorbitant cost of her wardrobe. Instead, they simply wrote a description of the intricacies of her jacket. There are approximately 25 million Americans unemployed. A question was raised: How many meals could be provided for the money Michelle Obama is spending? Another question that is asked: Are the mainstream media biased toward the Obamas? To borrow a line from Dan Rowan of TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laugh In,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can bet your sweet bippy on it.â&#x20AC;? John Sabo Bend

Capitalism drives success This letter is in response to Richard Belzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aug. 5 In My View, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business and a Romney presidency.â&#x20AC;? Progressive liberals such as Belzer have no leg to stand on so they resort to attacks on President

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent, Gov. Mitt Romney. Progressives and others of like ilk think that â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfettered capitalismâ&#x20AC;? is a sin when, in fact, it is what drives the economic system of the United States. No other country in the world can outproduce Americans, but thanks to Obama, our GDP will soon be second only to China. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compare the record of Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free market with Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socialism. Romney is responsible for the success of AMC movie theaters, Warner Music Group, Staples, Toys R Us, Dunkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donuts, Dominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza, Burger King and Burlington Coat Factory, just to name a few. Obama is responsible for slashing the military budget to the point where we cannot defend ourselves. He is also responsible for the bankrupt firms of Solyndra, Ener 1, Eastern Energy, Beacon Power, Amonix Solar, Abound Solar, and Spectra Watt. All were big Obama campaign supporters. If that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crony capitalism, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what is. The question is, do you want a president who has actually worked and made payrolls generating thousands of jobs that produced billions of dollars, or do you want to re-elect a socialist who continues to destroy American capitalism?

Support Buehler for secretary of state The Oregon secretary of state is responsible for 1) overseeing Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corporation Division, 2) conducting thorough audits of state

departments, 3) managing Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Election Division and 4) participating as a member on the State Land Board. Dr. Knute Buehler has prescriptions for each of these four responsibilities. Buehlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to make Oregon a top ten state for small-business owners will be achieved by responsibly transforming the Corporation Division, enforcing the five-year review of administrative rules and working to equitably reform the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). As head of the audit division, Buehler will push to increase audits and make agencies accountable to taxpayers and will see to it that the recommendations from those audits are actually implemented. To increase voter participation and limit the influence of money on the voting process, Buehler has been active in election reform, helping place multiple initiatives on the ballot toward that end. As a member of the state land board, Buehler will push for a responsible, balanced, long-term plan for the sustainability of our state lands. Buehler is a solid business owner and physician, serves on the boards of the Ford Family Foundation and the St. Charles Health System and has worked for years on multiple initiatives to reform state election laws. He has the drive, initiative and experience critical to be an effective secretary of state. Please help in electing Knute Buehler as our new secretary of state. Dennis Tooley Redmond

Will rude commenters seem quaint 20 years from now? By Michael Kinsley Bloomberg News

couple of weeks ago, using same-sex marriage as an example, I wrote about how quickly moral perceptions can change. My point was that surely there is something in our culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an attitude or policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we accept without thinking today, but will in 20 years seem as outrageous, cruel or absurd as overt anti-gay prejudice seems today. Then along came Mr. Chick-fil-A to provide an example. His company pledges â&#x20AC;&#x153;to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender.â&#x20AC;? Twenty or 30 years ago, this would have placed Chick-fil-A on the forward edge of corporate tolerance. Now, because he has said a few words against same-sex marriage, Mr. Chick and his company are in the doghouse big-time. My Bloomberg View colleague Josh Barro argues persuasively that opposing gay marriage is unavoidably anti-gay. My only point was: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not get too self-congratulatory. Who knows what shift in moral

attitudes will make us look back in horror and perplexity at some views we hold today? I offered a few obvious examples â&#x20AC;&#x201D; using other animals as food was the main one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and invited some more creative suggestions from readers. This is a report on the response. First, thanks to everybody who offered an example. Many of them covered familiar ground, such as global warming or gun control or drug legalization or the Middle East. They amounted to assertions that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 20 years I will have been proved right about Topic X.â&#x20AC;? The notion that there are issues on which the other side will be drowned in a tidal wave of facts seems a bit naive at a time when millions of Americans still think President Barack Obama was born in Kenya. A new consensus also seems unlikely on issues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; abortion, most obviously â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where both sides are counting on the other sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubts to fall away at any moment. Some predictions lacked much of a sense of moral urgency. For example: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My nomination is the idea that TVs, phones and computers are separate

IN MY VIEW devices.â&#x20AC;? Yes, but will addressing this false trichotomy make us better people? My favorite suggestions were issues which, though perhaps small or unexpected, had a definite ethical or moral component and left me thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My God, I never thought of that.â&#x20AC;? For example, someone suggested front lawns. In 20 years, will it be unthinkable that valuable water will be wasted on giving every house a small square of green to nurture? As I write, on a cold, rainy August day in the Pacific Northwest, this issue doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem all that pressing. It probably looks different in the rest of the country. Or how about womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-heeled shoes? The ancient Chinese practice of foot binding is regarded today as unbelievably barbaric. The corsets and suchlike Victorian devices to narrow a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waistline donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score much better on the moral hindsight scale. Yet fashion dictates to many women that they risk broken bones, endure pain or at least walk awkwardly in order

to squeeze their feet into somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often their own, if â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex and the Cityâ&#x20AC;? is to be believed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of a beautiful shoe. What were the 1960s all about if half the population still puts up with this? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great one: â&#x20AC;&#x153;voluntary submission to noise that ruins your hearing.â&#x20AC;? Or involuntary, for that matter. The level of ambient noise keeps rising; all those â&#x20AC;&#x153;shovel-readyâ&#x20AC;? construction projects from the stimulus a few years ago seem to be operating at peak noise level. Baby boomers, now paying for a lifetime of rock concerts, are adding loud music to the long â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do as I say, not as I didâ&#x20AC;? list for their children. Individual automobile ownership may not be illegal in 20 years, one reader suggests. But it may be rare and perhaps tainted with social disapproval as being hoggish and deeply ungreen. Telecommuting (that is, working at home) will increase. Public transportation will never take everybody wherever they need to go, or even close, but Internet-based pseudotaxi and short-term car rental services such as Uber Technologies and Zipcar will fill in the gap. Having your own

car will be something like having your own plane, or at least your own chauffeur, today. In 20 years, will we all be carrying a national identity card? This is one of those issues, like abortion, where some people see it as a utopian vision and some as a dystopian one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m closer to the first view. They can implant a chip in my thumb or scan my iris any day if in exchange I never have to deal with forgotten passwords, lost credit cards, long lines at airport security, complicated forms to get my birth certificate, and so on. One reader says that fiberglass insulation is as dangerous as asbestos and will be regarded as such in 20 years. Could this be true? Another says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be that Mr. Kinsley will be completely discredited as a polemicist of any note whose ideas and questions for discussion will be forever ridiculed.â&#x20AC;? I wish I could predict that in 20 years, rudeness on the Internet will be considered just as impolite as rudeness to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. But I doubt it. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Kinsley is a Bloomberg View columnist.

Karl Fleming risked life to report on civil rights movement By Elaine Woo Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karl Fleming, a former Newsweek reporter who helped draw national attention to the civil rights movement in the 1960s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and risked his life covering it with perceptive stories about its major figures and the inequalities that fueled it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84. The cause was related to a number of respiratory ailments, said his son Charles Fleming Fleming. Born and bred in the Jim Crow South, Fleming worked his way through small North Carolina newspapers to become chief of Newsweekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlanta bureau in 1961. In the next few years, he covered some of the most dramatic clashes that churned the South as the fight over racial injustice escalated. He was nearly shot in 1962 during riots at the University of Mississippi after James Meredithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission as the first African-American student. He portrayed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fastmoving phantasmagoria of grief, terror and hysteriaâ&#x20AC;? that enveloped Birmingham after the church bombing that killed four African-American girls in 1963. He was one of the first two reporters on the scene in 1964 when three civil rights workers taking part in the mobilization known as Freedom Summer disappeared near Philadelphia, Miss.; they were later found murdered. Fleming also covered the assassination of civil rights leader Medgar Evers and Gov. George Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symbolic stand in the schoolhouse door to block the desegregation of the University of Alabama. The reporter brazenly took notes at Ku Klux Klan rallies, had his phones tapped and was tailed by segregationists. He managed to escape serious harm in the South but was far less lucky when Newsweek assigned him to Los Angeles in 1965. At a tense rally after the Watts riots, he found himself the only white person in the room with Black Power leader Stokely Carmichael and a crowd of angry blacks. When Fleming fled to his car, he was attacked and severely beaten by a mob. A photograph of him lying in his own blood, his jaw broken and skull fractured, ran in newspapers across the country the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Karl was one of these reporters who would go anywhere, any time, no matter what the danger, if the story was good enough,â&#x20AC;? said Gene Roberts, a former top editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times, whose book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Race Beat,â&#x20AC;? co-written with Hank Klibanoff, examined the role of the press in the civil rights movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was one of the great 20th-century reporters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the right place at the right time.â&#x20AC;? His beating not only left him with a permanent limp but â&#x20AC;&#x153;jolted something loose in my heart,â&#x20AC;? he said. His first marriage collapsed. In 1972, he married an aspiring journalist, Anne Taylor, who was 22 to his 44. In addition to his wife and son Charles, an editor at the Los Angeles Times, he is survived by sons David, Russell and Mark; a sister, Ethel Gray; and eight grandchildren. As the psychedelic era wound down, Fleming began to drink excessively and smoke marijuana. Newsweek removed him as bureau chief, and he quit the magazine in 1972.

Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sets have gone silent for the summer, soundstages are vacant, workshops deserted. Characters from the Hillsboro animation studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sophomore feature, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman,â&#x20AC;? sit frozen in time, fixed in poses from the film. Mute since production wrapped up last year, the characters roar to life Friday in movie houses across the country. Laika thinks it has a hit on its hands. A blockbuster, perhaps, with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;zombie film for kids.â&#x20AC;? The studio operates with a degree of ambition you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often see in Oregon, and its zeal is emblematic of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resurgent animation community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a reflection of Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner and chairman, Nikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s billionaire cofounder Phil Knight, and his CEO son, Travis. Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first feature, 2009â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coraline,â&#x20AC;? hit theaters in the winter doldrums and surprised the industry by emerging as the secondbiggest release ever from Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distribution partner, Focus Features (trailing only â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brokeback Mountainâ&#x20AC;?). Setting a higher bar this time, releasing â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? in the summer blockbuster heat, only raises the chances that Laika wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit its mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make-or-break for Laika. Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest family can afford to pursue its vision, no matter how this film performs with critics or at the box office. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? will be a yardstick by which to measure the studio and its dreams of building a Pixarsize enterprise a thousand miles from Hollywood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always want to grow in every way possible,â&#x20AC;? Travis Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fully expect that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be a bigger, more commercially successful film than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coraline.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? borrows from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sixth Senseâ&#x20AC;? with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see dead peopleâ&#x20AC;? protagonist. In this case, Norman is a tween social outcast in small-town Massachusetts who must use his supernatural skills to beat back a somewhat goofy zombie uprising. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directors are a pair of Brits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chris Butler and Sam Fell. Teen actor Kodi SmitMcPhee (who filmed part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Roadâ&#x20AC;? in Oregon) gives voice to the title character, with Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Leslie Mann and John Goodman (among others) in supporting roles.

Stop-motion tradition Most contemporary animation emerges from a cubicle, where desk jockeys create their characters on a computer workstation. Stop motion, by contrast, remains an intensely physical practice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a craft Laika inherited when Phil Knight took over the storied Vinton Studios nine years ago. Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animators labor beneath dim lights in a Hillsboro warehouse, working one frame at a time. Crouching over puppets, they manipulate the characters, capture a single image with the camera, and then make almost imperceptible adjustments. Run all those tiny adjustments together on a movie reel and you have fluid, almost elegant motion that feels more tangible

Commercial division seeks to expand While Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment division strives to make a name for itself, its more established commercial side is preparing to expand. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters have moved to the Hillsboro warehouse where Laika makes its movies. Laika/house is still in Vinton Studiosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; old offices in Northwest Portland. It continues to turn out animated fare for commercials, including a long-running M&Ms campaign that dates to the Vinton days and a newer one that casts Robert Downey Jr. as the voice of Planterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr. Peanut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our stages have been consistently humming this year,â&#x20AC;? said Lourri Hammack, president of the commercial division. Animators sometimes move back and forth between the commercial and entertainment sides of the company, and veteran commercial director Mark Gustafson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was animation director on Wes

than computer animation and somehow dreamier, too. Yet even a productive day gives the animator just a few seconds of film. Travis Knight, who started as rank-and-file animator when his father first invested in the old Vinton Studios in 1998, became CEO soon after â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coraline.â&#x20AC;? He worked as lead animator on both films. Chatting quietly with the son, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but make comparisons to his dad. Nikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman still has his runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body at age 74, lean and angular. Travis, 38, plainly favors weights and muscle. The father is taciturn and remote in front of the media. He opens up just a crack to acknowledge a favorite film (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Batmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best of the new onesâ&#x20AC;?) or satisfaction in his studio and his son. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought in a quality film on budget.â&#x20AC;?) Travis, 38, is positively verbose by comparison. Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still building his company and recognizes that he must occasionally be its pitchman. Certainly he has the talking points down, drawing frequent comparisons between the oddball townsfolk who populate â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? and the obsessive animators who gave life to its characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the outcasts. We are the misfits,â&#x20AC;? Travis Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But everyone here has an extraordinary gift.â&#x20AC;?

CEO animator If Travis Knight is well rehearsed, though, his commitment to the work is persuasive. He animated a pair of key scenes in â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? himself, including the central episode where the zombies rise from the grave. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occasionally unguarded, allowing that the weirdos working at Laika include him, too, and that he sees a bit of himself in the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socially outcast boy in â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that I necessarily felt that I was strange. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only in retrospect when I look back and see how I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite fit in,â&#x20AC;? Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really bother me as a kid. I spent most of my time alone as a child. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something I was pained and tortured by. I just had different kinds of interests. Any kind of simple characteristic that people, particularly at that age, can kind of point to that sets you apart from everybody else is something that can be alienating. And I certainly had those.â&#x20AC;? Like what? He pauses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My fascinations, my family,â&#x20AC;? Knight said. Pressed for

Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fantastic Mr. Foxâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is tentatively slated to direct a Laika feature called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goblins.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the commercial side has been quietly exploring the possibility of working on TV series. Earlier this year, Laika brought back former executive Al Cubillas to seek out such opportunities. Some within Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animation community wonder whether it makes sense to pair Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-profile feature film division with its commercial side, working a historically low-margin segment of the industry. Hammack insists the two divisions play well together, sharing ideas and improvements, such as 3D printing technology that Laika deployed to give it more versatility in creating looks for its film characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is a blessed time for animators in Portland,â&#x20AC;? Hammack said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Rogoway, The Oregonian

specifics, he demurs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shortage of things which kind of made me different from other people or have people look at me in a different way,â&#x20AC;? Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a number of different ways you can respond to that. I kind of responded like Norman did, which is to withdraw.â&#x20AC;? OK. Moviemaking isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t psychoanalysis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on those terms that â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman,â&#x20AC;? Laika and its chief will all be judged. So how will Phil Knight respond if â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? bombs? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not well,â&#x20AC;? the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman deadpans. After a pause, and a chuckle, Knight affirms that both he and Travis are delighted with â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman.â&#x20AC;? The Knights are hopeful audiences will agree, but aware theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still learning the vagaries the box office and the film industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in it for the long run,â&#x20AC;? Phil Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to learn from the mistakes and grow from them.â&#x20AC;?

Tight-lipped on cost A privately held company, Laika says little about its finances. Industry publications pegged the cost of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coralineâ&#x20AC;? at around $60 million or $70 million, but Travis Knight said the actual price tag was somewhat below that, and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? cost no more than the first film. Regardless, marketing and distribution expenses mean that a filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box office take must substantially exceed its production budget before it turns a profit. To that end, the Knights recruited Nikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime ad firm, Wieden+Kennedy, to craft a marketing campaign for both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coralineâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman.â&#x20AC;? Portland-based W+K doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually do films. Its specialty is building brands, like Coca-Cola and Nike. Distributors usually take the lead in marketing. But Phil Knight called up Dan Wieden before the first film and asked for something extra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Distribution companies do an amazing job, but they have a lot of films come out every year,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Smith, W+Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account director for Laika. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit like: If you want your child to get special attention, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff you can do to make that happen.â&#x20AC;? With â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman,â&#x20AC;? W+K is trying to broaden stop-motionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal and bring a cult favorite to the mass market. If you watched the Olym-

pics, maybe you saw the lighthearted ads featuring the zombies from â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an undead gymnast on the pommel horse who nails his landing despite leaving his decaying arm behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it has the potential to be quite a big movie,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it going to make the 300 million, 400 million or whatever â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Batmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; did? No. But I think it could make a pretty big dent.â&#x20AC;?

A lengthy process Laika took four years to bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coralineâ&#x20AC;? to the screen, where it grossed $125 million worldwide. It took another three years to ready â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNorman.â&#x20AC;? Work starts in Hillsboro this fall on the third film, which Laika has yet to identify. The studio hopes to have that movie in theaters by the end of 2014, a little more than two years hence. After that, Laika hopes to match the annual release schedule of Pixar and other big-league animation studios. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they were releasing a movie a year, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how they cannot double their size in terms of a workforce,â&#x20AC;? said Vince Porter, a former Showtime executive whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now director of the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Film & Television in Portland. Laika employs about 350, including 50 in its commercial division that makes ads for M&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Planterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peanuts and many others. When film production is going full tilt, the studio adds another 75. Oregon is actively promoting film and TV, setting aside $7 million in tax incentives last year and $6 million this year to lure the industry. Laika received incentives worth a little more than $3 million last year, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;ParaNormanâ&#x20AC;? was in production. Portland has long been one of a handful of animation hubs outside Hollywood, a cluster that dates to the 1970s and the early days of Vinton Studios. In addition to Laika, that cluster includes Hinge Digital, which is a small commercial shop founded by Laika alumni, and Bent Image Lab, which is busting out of its quarters in Southeast Portland. That firm, with ties to the old Vinton Studios, has recently broadened its portfolio to include specials for the Hallmark Channel and effects work on the Portland-based TV shows â&#x20AC;&#x153;Portlandiaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grimm.â&#x20AC;? Laika is certainly the biggest player in town, but Bent Image founder David Daniels said Laikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is, to some degree, reflecting the community zeitgeist rather than driving it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique aspect to Portland. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening in Austin, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool, groovy city. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening in Minneapolis, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool, groovy city. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even happening in Seattle,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an enormous amount of creative energy.â&#x20AC;? Back in Hillsboro, Travis Knight is quietly gearing up for the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next feature and evaluating prospects for its fourth. The studio has at least three projects in active development and has stopped development on at least three others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The absolute hardest thing, in any business, is coming to the determination that somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working or a project isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, or people working on a project arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the right people. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an anomaly. Those sorts of things happen all the time,â&#x20AC;? Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has a human cost,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are the hardest things that eat you up inside.â&#x20AC;?

Biomass strategy

As school nears, kids crave latest gadgets By Hiawatha Bray New York Times News Service

GREEN

The Bulletin file photos

Brush and small trees removed during forest thinning projects could be transported to a nearby plant for processing into wood pellets and bricks, then sold to customers in the community who use them as fuel for heat or to generate electricity. Bringing those components together into a cluster would create jobs and local markets for woody biomass in rural communities while improving forest health, officials believe.

• Clustering pellet makers, customers in areas near forests could fuel the industry’s growth By Rachael Rees

Biomass industry road map

The Bulletin

n John Day, Ochoco Lumber Company has used small trees and undergrowth

from nearby forests

Oregon’s Forest Biomass Working Group released a draft July 30 of its strategic road map to grow the biomass industry. It is accepting public comments through Sept. 30. To obtain a copy of the draft, visit http://cms.oregon.gov/energy/RENEW/ Biomass/docs/Forest_Strategy/draft_FBWG_strategy_073012.pdf. To comment on the draft, send an email to biomass.energy@state.or.us. For more information on the Forest Biomass Working Group, visit http://cms. oregon.gov/energy/RENEW/Biomass/Pages/forest_biomass_working_ group.aspx.

to create wood pellets and chips that heat the community’s schools, hospital and airport.

The Eastern Oregon city illustrates the promise of biomass: hire crews to cut down the brush, small trees and other undergrowth that turn small wildfires into infernos, then pay mill work-

ers to turn it into pellets or bricks that local institutions can burn to create heat. “It’s not just about energy,” said Bruce Daucsavage, the CEO of Ochoco Lumber Co. “You’re try-

ing to develop a business that is improving forest health, creating local jobs in the community and utilizing local resources to create a heat source.” State and federal officials would like to replicate the biomass hub created in John Day in other areas of the state. The idea is an element in the state’s biomass strategy plan, a draft of which was released July 30. Separately, the U.S. Forest Service awarded Oregon a $105,000 grant Aug. 2 for a wood energy cluster pilot project. Additional funds, from the Oregon Department of Energy, brought the total amount available for projects to $168,000. See Biomass / C6

If you sell personal computers for a living, the next best thing to Christmas is backto-school season. It means billions in sales for tech companies like Apple Inc., Dell Inc., and Microsoft Corp., as parents and their kids scoop up new computing hardware and software. A good deal of that money will go to waste, as people spend needlessly on the next big, expensive thing. TECH Sure, that tablet computer looks cool. But is it what your kid really needs for schoolwork? And yes, a supersleek new laptop with an ultrapowerful chip will awe your favorite student’s friends, but that extra power won’t show up on a report card. For homework, a laptop is the tool of choice. Good machines running Microsoft Windows cost around $500 to $800, while an entry-level Mac from Apple goes for $1,000. Any such machine offers plenty of power for most students. Tablet computers are a popular alternative. An April survey of 5,600 U.S. high school students by investment firm Piper Jaffray found that 34 percent already own a tablet computer, with 70 percent of those choosing the iPad. That may be because so many kids are using iPads in classrooms already. Apple reported that it sold 1 million of them to educational institutions in the three months ended June 30. In fact, iPads are superb teaching tools. They’re portable, they’ll run all day on one battery charge, and they can be stuffed with apps for every academic subject and age group. But students do a fair amount of writing. And while you can certainly find good external keyboards for tablet computers and decent wordprocessing apps like Apple’s Pages,the tablet is a secondrate device for serious typing. Besides, a laptop’s hard drive can stash a lot more data, from homework assignments to a kid’s favorite music albums and movies. Most laptops also give you an optical drive, handy for installing software or watching videos. And college students may need to run full-fledged software programs ranging from Microsoft Office to technical software like the mathematical programming language MATLAB. That’s probably why college students overwhelmingly opt for laptops. A 2011 survey from the research firm Student Monitor found that of those who had bought some kind of computer in the previous six months, 89 percent had purchased a laptop, but just 6 percent had bought a tablet.

Mustard: from sandwiches to biofuel to fertilizer By Donna Jones Santa Cruz (Calif.) Sentinel

WATSONVILLE, Calif. — You can slather it on a ham sandwich, fuel up your pickup, maybe even kill the bugs in your garden. Ken Kimes has high hopes for mustard. Kimes is president of Farm Fuel Inc., which was founded in 2007 with the aim of growing mustard for biofuel. Five years later, the company is marketing mustard seed meal as an organic fertilizer and is looking into

its potential to replace Friday, Kimes was chemical fumigants in harvesting mustard on the production of straw45 acres in Pescadero, berries and other crops.

In terms of energy, it’s a net gain, he said. Still, in the bigger scheme of the nation’s energy needs, “it’s a drop in the bucket,” he said. “It became clear to us the oil was not going to support (the business). We had to have value in the meal.” So while Farm Fuels board member Henry Smith runs his Ford pickup on the oil, the company is working with researchers looking into mustard seed’s potential as a pesticide.

Wedding weekend fans old flames into an affair Dear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jane,â&#x20AC;? the daughter of a lifelong friend, attended my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding with her husband. My son and Jane have known each other since childhood, and always flirted and acted as if they had a crush on each other. To make a long story short, after seeing each other during the weekend, my son left his wife of only one month and started a long-distance relationship with Jane. Jane continues to live with her husband. My son and Jane have been open about their relationship with everyone in our families except her father and her husband. Needless to say, those of us who know about this deceptive relationship are sick at heart and skeptical about who Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true love is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her husband or my son. Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister is being married soon. If Jane is still keeping my son in a closet, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see her at the upcoming wedding. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband may not be going because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence he might have an idea that his marriage is not healthy. Should we attend the wedding to support my lifelong friend, or stay away to avoid the pain of seeing the woman who has kept my son on a roller-coaster ride for years? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; To Go or Not To Go? Dear T.G. or Not T.G.: Let me get this straight. Your son dumped his wife of only one month for a married woman, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about HIS pain? Stop involving yourself in this melodrama and let him work this out for himself. If Jane dumps her husband for him, he may have the girl of his childhood dreams. If she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, he will learn an important life lesson. As to whether you should attend Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding, take a Dramamine and go. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a thrill ride I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss if I could get

DEAR ABBY a ticket. Dear Abby: I am a frequent international traveler with a problem. I always pack food for myself to take onboard. My trips are often 20 hours or longer and involve several planes. I find many people neglect to pack any food and they wind up asking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or begging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; me to give them some of mine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very awkward for me. On one flight, I overheard a woman tell her son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go ask that man for some cookies,â&#x20AC;? and the kid did come over. How do I handle this? There are times I have to spend five or seven hours in an airport after midnight waiting for the next flight, and that food is my reserve. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not Stingy in Florida Dear Not Stingy: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad you have given me the chance to remind travelers that the food on airplanes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what it was years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly for passengers flying coach. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to plan ahead and bring something onboard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fruit, candy, a sandwich â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly when traveling with children. Of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to refuse someone in a situation like the one you described. I suppose you could have told the child, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your mother warn you not to take food from strangers?â&#x20AC;? But then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to live with the image of a hungry child sitting two rows back. Sometimes you do have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just say no.â&#x20AC;? Explain that you have a long layover and need the emergency provisions for yourself. It may not win you many friends, but then, you are not running for office. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Monday, Aug. 13, 2012 By Jacqueline Bigar This year you become more resilient than ever before. You learn to go along with the unexpected, as you see it as exciting rather than a problem. You express your feelings in a vulnerable yet thrilling manner, and you touch many people in your life as a result. At the same time, you grow and transform to a more dynamic, easygoing personality. If you are single, you attract many people. Your job will be to choose the right person. Many of you will enjoy this process. If you are attached, the two of you relate on an even more positive level. Relax more together. A SCORPIO could play a significant role in your emotional life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Realize what is happening, and take responsibility for your role. A friend or associate acts in a most unexpected manner. Buy a token of appreciation in order to demonstrate your support for this unpredictable person. Tonight: Pick up tickets to a game or concert. Make it a treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You wake up feeling great. Throw in an impromptu activity, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need your morning coffee. You feel as if you need to contain a situation. You cannot control someone, but you can choose to not be involved. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Please note what is happening behind the scenes. You could be surprised by forthcoming news. Clearly, a loved one cares. Be willing to have a long-overdue discussion with this person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Zero in on what is important. Do not sell yourself short. Others know, and are receptive to, your talents and ideas. Do nothing halfway.

Rising energy levels could drive you. Tonight: Make sure music is playing wherever you are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal with an associate or loved one directly. You might not be aware of what is happening with this person, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an idea by the end of the day. Rebelliousness is connected to a need to have control. Try not to play into this type of behavior. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to others with an understanding of what you want out of the situation, and be sure to explain those terms. Expect only a positive response. Someone still might be challenging and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the one to get into a control game with. Tonight: Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone.

Nature rebuilds Elwha River beach • Removal of dam aids restoration efforts near Seattle

“That was one of the questions we had, was would (dam removal) have a response on the beach. What this shows is that sediment can and will make it onto the beach. What I am seeing is sand, and it’s new sand.”

By Lynda V. Mapes The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Every few weeks, scientist Ian Miller heads down to the delta of the Elwha River to have a close look at the beach. And what he saw beginning last April surprised him: a bit of sand. While that may not sound like much, Miller knew he was seeing something more. A month earlier, contractors had finished taking out the last of Elwha Dam. Now here it was on the beach: sediment set free along with the river. That bit of softness afoot on the eroded, cobble beach was a first taste of the restoration benefits of Elwha dam removal, and the sweep of its reach: all the way to the river’s mouth. By May and June — during some of the lowest daylight tides of this year — Miller saw even more sand on the beach, growing in a sweep to the east, with the prevailing current. A coastal-hazard specialist based in Port Angeles for Washington Sea Grant, Miller is continuing his work, to learn how, if and when this beach may be altered by sediment set loose by dam removal. Taking the dams out of the Elwha isn’t only about allowing fish to come back up river to their spawning grounds for the first time since two dams were built on the Elwha without fish passage, beginning in 1910. The $325 million Elwha River ecosystem restoration begun last September is also about allowing wood and sediment to flow down the river from its watershed. The dams strangled the river’s natural transport capacity, and hoarded the gleanings from its watershed in the dams’ reservoirs: logs, root wads and other woody debris, and about 24 million cubic yards of rocks, sand, gravel and fine sediment. As the dams come out, the river is expected to mobilize about one-quarter to onethird of that sand and gravel

Ian Miller, coastal-hazard specialist for Washington Sea Grant, carries a GPS receiver as he surveys the new low-tide terrace at the mouth of the Elwha River, near Seattle, Wash. The sand has only been visible since April and is accumulating.

trapped in the reservoirs and about one-half to two-thirds of the fine sediment, according to Tim Randle of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which is directing management of the sediment during dam removal. It’s the largest ever controlled sediment release in a dam-removal project anywhere in the world. Some of the material will stay right in the lake beds. Some will settle in the river bottom. But some of it will be transported all the way to saltwater, and build up the beach and seafloor. And to some, it’s a welcome change. Today, the beach can erode 12 feet a year on average in some places, according to Miller. Members of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe talk about their elders clamming on beaches that have little or no sand today, and running cattle on land east of the river mouth that has since washed away. Jon Warrick, geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Pacific Coastal and Marine

Science Center at Santa Cruz, Calif., notes the cobble beach exposed at low tide at the Elwha delta today is inconsistent with the tribe’s oral history of clamming on the beach. And that, Warrick notes, is probably the result of coastal erosion related to the impacts of the dams on sediment flowing to the coast. And the rate of erosion is increasing. Dam removal is expected to help reverse some of that trend. How much, nobody knows. The Strait of Juan de Fuca where the Elwha meets the saltwater has a ripping current. The river has also been channelized and diked in its lower reaches, altering its ability to move sand and other material naturally into the estuary and near shore. To track the changes already under way, scientists are trying a bit of everything. Farther offshore, scientific divers with the USGS, the tribe and Sea Grant were underwater last month, taking

tives and grant programs for facility development, equipment, harvesting and transportation. While the sawmill in John Day was built in 1983, Ochoco Lumber has been in the timber business since 1939, Daucsavage said. To adapt to the changing timber industry, he said, the company needed to find a way to profit from wood that wasn’t suitable to make lumber. The answer: a pellet plant. In 2010, the federal government awarded the company a grant to install a biomass plant to make wood pellets at its mill. Although a cluster has started to form as homes and buildings near the plant shift to biomass-fueled heating systems, and demand for Ochoco’s pellets has grown overseas, Daucsavage said more work needs to be done. “The market needs to be created beyond where it is today,” he said. “We need (more) facilities to burn these pellets and bricks.” It’s capital-intensive to construct and operate a pellet facility, he said. It’s also expensive for buildings to convert to biomass thermal heating. A boiler required for a school to use biomass can cost between $500,000-$750,000, he said. However, he noted, the longterm payback could be worth the initial costs. Saranich said the pilot program will not only determine potential biomass cluster locations, but also identify buildings in cluster areas that would be optimal for conversion. On Tuesday, representatives of agencies involved in the pilot project are scheduled to discuss the criteria for cluster sites and what will constitute a cluster. The first step is a broad market assessment, said Matt Krumenauer, senior policy analyst for the Oregon Department of Energy. Around mid-October, he said, poten-

tial clusters should begin to be identified. “We can’t create these clusters,” he said, “(but) we can identify where the potential is, help promote them and provide the assistance needed.” Central Oregon has the potential to be a cluster location, Saranich said. “We are going to try to focus our emphasis on areas where there’s large amounts of woody biomass that need hazardous fuel reduction,” he said. “Central Oregon is one of the most heavily used recreational areas in the Northwest. Hazardous fuel reduction fits in with what’s going on recreation-wise.” Phil Chang, program administrator for the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, said Central Oregon has the potential to be one of the biggest and best of these clusters in the state. “We have forests that are really out of whack, and we have the collaborative forest restoration efforts to do something about that,” he said. “A lot of that centers around thinning operations. “When we thin, instead of disposing of biomass by burning it in piles in the woods, we can use it as a fuel supply for heating.” Chang said the region has high heating demands. Instead of depending on traditional sources like natural gas and propane that are imported, Central Oregon could use biomass — a home-grown energy source. Along with the environmental efforts in the forests, he said, Central Oregon already has companies that make pellets and wood chips, as well as example projects — like Sisters High School, the Deschutes National Forest headquarters building and a proposed biomass heat and electricity generating plant at Mt. Bachelor.

stock of transects they set on the sea floor last year before dam removal began. They saw that portions of the underwater ecosystem were inundated by the sediment plume pouring from the Elwha; anemones and tube worms that before dam removal were surrounded by bare substrate last year are nestled amid soft sediment now. As for Miller, he is tracking the beach with a variety of approaches. Using digital photography, he can document the grain size of the beach, and how it is changing over time.

He has also deployed fleets of what he calls “smart rocks” — river cobble, pebbles and small boulders tricked out with radio tags embedded in the rock — tossed overboard in the river or snugged in the beach. He dials in the signals with an antenna and receiving device he carries in a backpack to see where and

how far the rocks move under different weather conditions. Still to be seen are the results this first winter with the lower dam out, particularly if, unlike last winter, there is an active storm season. And yet to come is the big bang of sediment when Glines Canyon Dam, a few miles upriver, is completely out by next May. The real story on dam removal will only be revealed over time, Miller said: “We still don’t know the long-term effects.” But there’s no doubt change is already afoot. “It’s changing all the time,” Miller said of the beach. “That was one of the questions we had, was would (dam removal) have a response on the beach. What this shows is that sediment can and will make it onto the beach. What I am seeing is sand, and it’s new sand.”

DESCHUTES COUNTY LAKES WORD SEARCH GAME

Biomass Continued from C1 The money will allow several agencies — including the Oregon Department of Energy, Sustainable Northwest, the Bureau of Land Management, the Oregon Department of Forestry and Business Oregon — to identify sections of the state where biomass clusters — multiple buildings using biomass near a biomass plant — could form, said Ron Saranich, Forest Service biomass coordinator for the Pacific Northwest. The goal: ignite the industry by driving up local demand for the pellets and other products biomass plants produce. It’s easier and cheaper if the collection, processing and market are all within a small radius, Saranich said. “In the old days, you’d put three to five large trees on the log truck and get them to the mills. … There was a lot of money there because there are a lot of 2-by-4s coming off a large tree,” Saranich said. “When you’re putting a lot of small trees on a truck to reduce the risk of hazardous fuel, the value of that log truck is worth considerably less because the trees can’t be used for structural lumber.” Attempts to grow a biomass market are not new. For more than a decade, efforts have been under way to make biomass a profitable industry in the United States. But they’ve run into barriers, including the high cost of cutting and transporting the material from the forest to the processing plant, the low market value of biomass, a lack of local markets for the processed product and low financial returns for the businesses involved, according to a study released this year by the Ecosystem Workforce Program at the University of Oregon. To promote biomass, the study suggests the government should enact tax incen-

Mustard

Technology

Continued from C1 “That’s the most exciting part,” said Kimes, who owns New Natives, a Corralitos, Calif., organic farm. Farmers are running out of options because the ozonedepleting chemical methyl bromide, long used to fumigate berry fields before planting to fight pests, weeds and soil-borne pathogens, is being phased out under international treaty and the manufacturer of a proposed replacement, methyl iodide, pulled its product from the United States last year amidst controversy about potential risks to the environment and public health. Kimes envisions mustard seed meal as a nontoxic alternative. The glucosinolates that make mustard spicy also can help control agricultural pests, Kimes said. Stephanie Boucier, Farm Fuels’ chief executive officer and research coordinator, said trials of mustard seed meal are ongoing at Pajaro Valley test plots. The challenge has been finding the best way to utilize its potential, whether by combining it with other techniques or blending different mustard varieties, Boucier said. Interest is growing among

Still, before buying anything, contact your school and find out about any special hardware requirements. Elementary and high-school parents should also inquire about the school’s bring-yourown-device policies. Are student laptops or tablets welcome on campus? A Boston school official told me the city lets principals decide on a case-by-case basis, so check with your school. Once that’s settled, start looking for something with a comfy keyboard, a big hard drive and a bright screen that looks good at a variety of viewing angles. You may be tempted by the new Ultrabook laptops. They’re deliciously thin and light, making them much easier to lug across

More prairies being transformed into cropland, study says By Josephine Marcotty (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Nearly 3,000 acres of Sierra Nevada peaks, meadows and forests atop Donner Summit will be preserved from development under a deal announced last week. A coalition of environmental groups said they had reached an agreement to buy the Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Resort, which became available after would-be developers defaulted on their loans. It’s one of the most high-profile acquisitions to date by land trusts in California that have set out to acquire property slated for development. The real estate crash brought considerable bargains for those conservation groups that still have the money to act. “I think it’s the most significant conservation effort in the recent history of the Sierra Nevada,” Perry Norris, head of the Truckee Donner Land Trust, said of Royal Gorge. “It’s Donner Summit we’re talking about.” The summit has long been a gateway to Northern California, with the routes of Native Americans, emigrant wagon trains, the transcontinental railroad and Interstate 80 crossing the mountains, he said. The community of Serene Lakes, where many Sacramento residents own vacation homes, nestles in the midst of Royal Gorge. “We came awfully close to losing this landscape,” Norris said. In 2005, San Francisco Bay Area developers bought the property for a reported $35 million from Royal Gorge cofounder John Slouber. The resort, opened in 1971, introduced downhill-style ski amenities to cross-country skiers and featured miles of groomed trails. The developers, Kirk Syme and cousins Todd and Mark Foster, proposed building 950 condos and single-family houses on the summit. Their plan raised a howl of opposition from conservation groups and local residents, including owners at Serene Lakes. The plan ultimately fizzled. The developers defaulted on a $16.7 million loan from Armed Forces Bank in June 2011, and a judge placed the property in receivership. The receiver, Douglas Wilson Companies of San Diego, recently agreed to sell the 3,000 privately held acres of the ski resort to conservation groups The Trust for Public Land,

the Truckee Donner Land Trust and the Northern Sierra Partnership. The purchase price: $11.25 million. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the last wellknown piece of the Sierra at what is really a very good price,” said Tom Mooers, head of Sierra Watch, a group that fought the proposed development and has helped broker purchases of other large properties. Now the groups have until December, when escrow closes, to raise the funds. Leaders expressed confidence in their ability to put together the purchase price and then some. They’re aiming to raise $13.5 million to cover needed upgrades, including trail improvements and forest maintenance. They intend to keep the ski area open under management by the nearby Sugar Bowl resort. Already, said Norris, the buyers have secured a $1 million pledge from Northern Sierra Partnership, which includes The Nature Conservancy and other conservation groups as members. Several donors have pledged $250,000 each, he said. Serene Lakes Property Owners Association President Ken Hall said residents have raised $1.4 million, and pledged $3 million, to keep the quiet of their community, which forbids power boats. “I’ve never seen the community respond so positively and enthusiastically to a fundraising drive,” Norris said. The Truckee Donner Land Trust was one of the groups involved in the $23.5 million dollar purchase in 2007 of the Waddle Ranch. The 1,500-acre property in the Martis Valley, south of Truckee, had been slated for hundreds of homes, a shopping center and golf courses before conservationists bought it and preserved it as public open space. It’s a model of conservation that has taken off in the past three decades as the number of national, state and local groups buying and protecting land has proliferated. There are about 1,700 such groups nationwide, according to the Land Trust Alliance, a Washington, D.C., group that conducts its National Land Trust Census every five years. Together, those groups had preserved about 47 million acres by the end of 2010. California had the most land trusts with 197, the group said.

profitable. “It’s a labor of love,” Boucier said. “Of course we would like to make a profit, but as a group we’re more motivated by what we can do environmentally for farmers and gardeners. Profits are great too, and we’re getting there.”

MINNEAPOLIS — Prairie and other natural landscapes have been plowed up at an unprecedented rate across the nation’s midsection since 2008, especially in the Corn Belt, according to an analysis released last week by a leading conservation group. Between 2008 and 2011, some 37,000 square miles of grasslands, wetlands and shrublands were transformed into cropland across the nation, said the study by the Environmental Working Group, which uses data analysis to try to influence public policy on public health and conservation issues. In Minnesota, where half the total land mass is devoted to corn and soybeans, 2,000 square miles of native grassland and wetlands were converted to row crops, the study said. In the Dakotas, a major breeding ground for aquatic birds and grassland species, an area twice that size was plowed up for crops. Ken Cook, president of Environmental Working Group, said that the land conversion has been propelled by record high commodity prices, demand for ethanol and crop insurance programs that guarantee profits for farmers, even on marginal land. That means less habitat for wildlife and more water pollution from agricultural runoff, he said. “Land is being plowed up that hasn’t been plowed up for a generation,” he said during a briefing. “Farmers are planting in ditch rows and planting up against river banks and the damage is severe.” The situation will accelerate if a House version of the new farm bill is approved. It does not require farmers to follow good conservation practices on their land in order to obtain taxpayer subsidized crop insurance (the Senate version does). Congress could take up the bill as early as September. “There is a very, very strong correlation between those parts of the country where we are seeing the greatest loss of habitat, and those parts of the country where the government is providing the greatest

amount of insurance subsidies to farmers,” said Scott Faber, the group’s vice president of government affairs. Farm commodity and crop insurance groups did not respond to requests for comment, but they have urged Congress to sever the link between subsidy programs and how farmers choose to manage their land. In Minnesota, farm groups say that agricultural conservation practices have improved dramatically in recent decades, and that farmers have the greatest incentive of all to be good stewards of the land. Crop insurance subsidies in the next federal farm law are expected to replace price subsidies and other programs protecting farmers from severe financial risk. Crop insurance initially was designed to cushion farmers from the multitude of risks that come with making a living off the land, primarily weather. But now, about 80 percent of the nation’s crop insurance policies are revenue policies, protecting farmers from weather, drops in prices and yield losses. It shifts the risk of losses from farmers to taxpayers and insurance companies. Critics say the safety net gives farmers an incentive to farm where they shouldn’t — where it is too dry, too near water or too likely to erode — because they are protected from revenue losses.

campus, but they generally cost $200 to $300 more than their thicker brethren. Suit yourself, but I’d rather keep the cash. Most laptops, including Macs, use Intel Corp.’s Core processors. The entry-level Core i3 is fine for your average English major, but an engineering or graphic arts student might pick a beefier Core i5 or i7. The same goes for memory; the more demanding the tasks, the more you should buy. Some more expensive laptops offer a special graphics processor chip; don’t bother unless there’s going to be lots of graphics work or video game play. Some laptops run processors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. rather than Intel. Don’t worry; AMD chips work fine. Look for sales and discounts. Apple is giving out $100 gift cards to buyers of new Mac laptops and $50 for iPads. Other majors, like Dell and HP, are running their own back-to-school specials online. If you’re strapped for cash, look into buying used or refurbished hardware. Not so long ago, access to computers was a luxury for students; it’s a necessity now. But there’s no reason why it can’t be an affordable one.

CYCLING Tschopp wins Tour of Utah PARK CITY, Utah — Switzerland’s Johann Tschopp won the Tour of Utah on Sunday, finishing fourth in the final stage. Bend’s Ian Boswell finished in fifth place overall after completing Sunday’s sixth stage in eighth place. Chris Horner, also of Bend, took seventh overall with his 10th-place finish on Sunday. Levi Leipheimer won the stage, surviving a rugged climb through the Wasatch Mountains to finish the 76.8-mile ride in 3 hours, 6 minutes, 53 seconds. Steven Kruijswijk was second, and Leopold Koenig finished third — both 49 seconds behind Leipheimer. Tschopp finished with an overall time of 21:26:32. Six American riders placed in the top 10, led by second-place finisher Matthew Busche, 43 seconds behind Tschopp. The final stage featured the toughest climb in the entire race at Empire Pass. Riders climbed to an elevation of 8,913 feet on a trail featuring multiple switchbacks before descending into downtown Park City. Leipheimer seized control during the climb over Empire Pass. He built up a lead of 1:30 before finishing with a comfortable stage victory. His stage victory culminates a comeback from an accident in April when he broke his fibula after being hit by a car.

Giving a heads-up • Local mountain bikers put simple maps of area trails on bandannas to help riders find their way around By Elise Gross The Bulletin

When it comes to trail maps, sometimes less is more. Central Oregon is a mountain biker’s paradise, but navigating its labyrinth of trails using a trail map can be daunting. TrailRags, a local company that prints bandannas with simplified maps of individual mountain bike trails, provides riders an alternative. This past April, Bend resident Jeff Hahn put his 8-year-old idea for a trail map bandanna into action. Hahn, 58, enlisted the help of his friend and former co-worker at Kialoa Canoe Paddles in Bend, Brian Nelson, of

Redmond. Hahn and Nelson, both avid mountain bikers, said they drew from their small-business experience at Kialoa, where Hahn was the production manager and Nelson worked as a woodworker and general contractor. Together, Hahn and Nelson created TrailRags, based primarily out of Hahn’s southeast Bend home. Bandanna maps of Phil’s Trail and the Deschutes River Trail currently sell for $10 each on the company’s website, www. trailrags.com. The bandannas are also being sold in several local bike shops and via the Bend-based cycling shop WebCyclery’s online store. See Heads / D6

Johnson let go by Dolphins DAVIE, Fla. — As the Miami Dolphins took the field for practice Sunday, Chad Johnson was getting out of jail. Hours later, he was out of work. The Dolphins terminated the former Oregon State and six-time Pro Bowl receiver’s contract about 24 hours after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving his wife. Johnson was released from jail on $2,500 bond earlier Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor. The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show “Basketball Wives.” The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the team after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011. Following Sunday’s practice, coach Joe Philbin said he would meet soon with Johnson. “We’re going to deal with this,” Philbin said before Johnson was released. “We’re not going to waste time. ... We’re all in this thing together. Everybody that sets foot in this building, we’re all held to a high standard.” Johnson’s defense attorney, Adam Swickle, said an order has been issued that prevents Johnson from contacting Lozada. Swickle declined to comment further. — The Associated Press

Untouchable: McIlroy wins title by a record 8 strokes By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Right down to his red shirt, Rory McIlroy looked every bit the part of golf’s next star in another command performance at the PGA Championship. McIlroy validated his record-setting U.S. Open win last year by blowing away the field Sunday at Kiawah Island. One last birdie from 25 feet on the 18th hole gave him a 6-under 66 for an eight-shot victory, breaking the PGA Championship record for margin of victory that Jack Nicklaus set in 1980. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland returned to No. 1 in the world, and he became the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to win two majors. Tiger Woods was about four months older than McIlroy when he won his second major. Just like the U.S. Open, this one was never seriously in doubt. See McIlroy / D6

Oakland’s Pryor excited for exhibition opener By Josh Dubow The Associated Press

NAPA, Calif. — Terrelle Pryor has been waiting a long time to play in a football game. After an aborted rookie season with the Oakland Raiders that included no preseason games and a penalty before his only snap in the regular season, Pryor is more than ready for this season’s exhibition opener. Pryor will get that chance tonight when the Raiders play at home against the Dallas Cowboys. While Oakland coach Dennis Allen is not even telling his players how much or when they will play, he did say Pryor would get plenty of snaps at quarterback behind starter Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. “I can’t wait,” Pryor said. “It’s been a long time for me to play football. It’s what I was born to do. God blessed me. He gave me great talent and I just want to try to ... use it again. It’s been a long time.” Pryor got very little out of a rookie

season that was doomed from the start. He didn’t decide to leave Ohio State until after the NFL draft following an investigation into the team’s memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job. Commissioner Roger Goodell allowed Pryor into the supplemental draft but ruled he must serve the fivegame suspension he would have faced in college. The Raiders used a thirdround pick on Aug. 22 to select Pryor and signed him three days later. Pryor got to participate in only three practices and no exhibition games before his suspension kicked in, limiting him to team meetings and individual drills without coaches. Even when Pryor was activated, he mostly was a scout-team quarterback as the third-stringer behind Palmer and Kyle Boller. Pryor got in once last season on Oct. 23 against Kansas City. He was sent in for a third-and-1 quarterback sneak. Pryor said he was told to call for a quick snap and go for the first

NFL down. Instead, he was penalized for a false start for not pausing a second under center before the snap. Boller threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown on the following play and Pryor never saw the field again that season. He figures to get much more time tonight. “I’m just going to go in and try to perfect the play, go through the read. Like coach says, my feet got to stay on time,” Pryor said. “When I go through the read, just keep the right read, and if I keep my feet on time, I’ll be good.” After getting little coaching last season because Oakland did not have a quarterbacks coach and head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Al Saunders spent most of their time preparing Palmer for each game, Pryor has been soaking in all the instruction he can get from coordinator Greg Knapp and position coach John

DeFilippo. The primary focus has been on improving Pryor’s footwork after he spent most of his college career playing out of the shotgun. The results have been uneven so far in camp, with Pryor mixing pinpoint throws with others wildly off-target as he strives for consistency. “Coming out of high school, I was just an athlete that just, whenever the guy was open, I didn’t know what I was reading,” he said. “When I saw a guy open, I threw the ball. Now, coming out of college, I learned to read defenses. I wasn’t blessed enough to be at a powerhouse that you learn that stuff as a quarterback. So, I’m working and I’m going to get good.” While Pryor said he prefers throwing touchdowns to running for them, his sprinter speed gives him an added dimension when the play breaks down. “He runs like a deer,” safety Mike Mitchell said. “It’s just what you saw in college. We’re all fast guys on defense,

but if you don’t get him in the first 10 yards ... put your head down and start running. I would like to see him run it a little bit more. He has scary speed.” While exhibition games can be tedious for proven veterans, they are a great opportunity for younger players to shine. This will also be the first chance for Oakland’s rookies to make an impression in a game setting. Fourth-round linebacker Miles Burris will likely start in place of injured Aaron Curry, third-round offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom should see plenty of time with the reserves and fifth-round receiver Juron Criner looks to show that his stellar play on the practice field can transfer to games. “I just have to go prove them right for picking me,” Burris said. “Play the way that I play the game, and that’s as hard as I can play, and try to make plays and be consistent like coach Allen talked about and just prove that I can play in the NFL and run with anybody.”

London2012

Top 10 memories of the London Olympics 1. Crowning the greatest Olympic athlete of all time Michael Phelps ended his remarkable swimming career by winning four gold and two silver medals in London. He is now the most decorated Olympian ever, with a career total of 22 medals, 18 of them gold. In his final swim, he helped the U.S. reclaim the lead in the 4x100-meter relay, and afterward he got a special trophy from swimming officials that said: “To Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympic athlete of all time.” 2. Bolt adds to the legend The speed. The medals. The poses. It could only be Usain Bolt, who electrified the London Games by becoming the first man to win the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay golds in backto-back Olympics. Even IOC President Jacques Rogge, who initially balked at giving him “living legend” status, conceded that the six-time gold medalist “is the best sprinter of all time.” 3. Gabby leads the Fierce Five Gabby Douglas rocked the O2 Arena with her electric floor routine, her vaults, her leaps high above the balance beam. The 16-year-old won two gold medals, including the all-around, and the rest of the Fierce Five — Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross and Aly Raisman — gave the United States its first Olympic team title in women’s gymnastics since 1996. 4. Britain’s golden night Three British athletes won gold medals in Olympic Stadium in 44 minutes on Saturday, Aug. 4, to produce the signature night of the London Games: Jessica Ennis won the heptathlon, Greg Rutherford won the long jump, and Mo Farah won the 10,000 meters. (The Somali-born Farah also won the 5,000 meters on the final Saturday.) Counting two golds from the rowers and another from women’s track cycling, Britain’s total for the day was six. 5. Putting the bad in badminton They played to lose. The topseeded women’s badminton pair from China, two pairs from South Korea and one from Indonesia were disqualified from the Olympics after they intentionally lost their matches in order to secure a more favorable draw in the quarterfinals. Olympic officials wanted team coaches, trainers or officials of the four doubles pairs to be punished if they encouraged or ordered the eight players to lose intentionally. 6. The “Blade Runner” made them roar Oscar Pistorius described his journey from South Africa to the London Olympics as “amazing,” and it was. The double-amputee known as the “Blade Runner” because he runs on carbon-fiber blades had the 80,000-strong crowd roaring as he anchored the South African team in the 4x400-meter relay final. It didn’t matter that he finished eighth. 7. Women’s boxing a hit Women’s boxing was a big hit in its first Olympics, and it produced three memorable champions: Claressa Shields, the 17-year-old middleweight with the vicious right hand who established herself as the future of the sport; lightweight Katie Taylor of Ireland, the Bray Brawler whose bouts had thousands cheering with Irish pride; and Nicola Adams, the British flyweight who won the first gold medal. 8. Running on a broken leg American Manteo Mitchell heard a pop in his left leg with 200 meters to go in his segment of the 4x400 relay preliminaries, and the sprinter knew it was not good. If he stopped, he would lose the race, so he finished the lap, then limped to the side to watch his teammates complete the relay. 9. Historic Olympics for women It lasted only 82 seconds, but it will be long remembered: Young judo fighter Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani became the first Saudi woman to compete at an Olympics. 10. The queen’s acting The Olympics kicked off with a royal command performance. At the opening ceremony, a short film on the stadium’s big screen showed actor Daniel Craig as James Bond driving to Buckingham Palace and meeting Queen Elizabeth II, who played herself. “Good evening, Mr. Bond,” she said. Next they were shown flying in a helicopter over Olympic Stadium, where stunt doubles parachuted in. — The Associated Press

ROUNDUP

James, Durant lead U.S. to Olympic gold By Jay Cohen The Associated Press

LONDON — LeBron James stood with both arms in the air, then hugged Kevin Durant before they headed to the bench. They were quite the combination all day long. James had a huge dunk and a three-pointer in the final 2:50 and Durant scored 30 points, helping the U.S. win its second straight Olympic title with a 107-100 victory over Spain on the final day of the London Games. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We didn’t want it easy,” James said. “A lot of teams have won gold easy. We didn’t want it that way. We’re a competitive team and we love when it gets tight. That’s when our will and determination kind of shows. It was the same way in ’08.” Mike Krzyzewski, who has said he’s retiring as U.S. coach, emptied his bench in the final minute Sunday, then embraced James after the final horn sounded. The Americans hugged at midcourt, with guard James Harden holding a doll of the Olympic mascot. Four years after beating Spain 118-107 in the Beijing final, the U.S. found itself in another tight one, unable to truly slow the Spanish down until the closing minutes. James had 19 points on a day he joined Michael Jordan as the only players to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year. For Kobe Bryant, it was his last Olympic moment. “This is it for me,” said Bryant, who scored 17 points and now has a second gold medal to go with his five NBA championships. “The other guys are good to go.” Britain finished its home Olympics with its biggest

medal haul since 1908, but the top of the table belonged to the United States. The Americans topped the chart with 46 golds and 104 overall, easily clearing China’s second-place total of 87. Part of the U.S. winning total belonged to the men’s wrestling team, which had multiple gold medalists for the first time since 1996. Jake Varner got the second one when he won four straight matches to take the 96-kilogram freestyle, beating Valerie Andriitsev of Ukraine 1-0, 1-0 in the final. Varner fell to his knees once the clock ticked to zero, soaking in the fact he had just accomplished the biggest goal of his life. He soon found Cael Sanderson, a gold medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics who helped coach him to the title, and thanked him with a a leaping bear hug. Britain’s final gold of the games went to super heavy-

weight Anthony Joshua, who rallied from a late deficit to upset defending champ Roberto Cammarelle of Italy on a tiebreaker. Joshua’s big finish in the tournament’s glamour division allowed him to match the titles won by bantamweight Luke Campbell and women’s flyweight Nicola Adams, part of Britain’s five-medal boxing haul that included Freddie Evans’ welterweight silver from Sunday. Also winning divisions were: Ukrainian lightweight Vasyl Lomachenko, flyweight Robeisy Ramirez of Cuba, welterweight Serik Sapiyev of Kazakhstan and Russian light heavyweight Egor Mekhontsev. Sapiyev was honored as the tournament’s best boxer. Uganda picked up its first and only medal of the games when Stephen Kiprotich easily captured the Olympic marathon. Kiprotich finished in 2

hours, 8 minutes, 1 second, holding off the Kenyan duo of Abel Kirui and Wilson Kipsang. Kirui finished 26 seconds behind Kiprotich, while Kipsang, the leader much of the race, faded late but held on for bronze just ahead of American Meb Keflezighi. The rest of the Olympic action Sunday: VOLLEYBALL Russia won its first men’s volleyball gold in 32 years by rallying past Brazil in five sets. Second-ranked Russia dropped the first two sets and faced two match points before putting together an impressive comeback in a 19-25, 20-25, 29-27, 25-22, 159 victory, paced by 7-foot-2 middle blocker Dmitriy Muserskiy’s 31 points. The Russians thought they had won it on Muserskiy’s kill in the fifth set and began to celebrate, but the officials awarded the point to top-ranked Brazil. After regrouping, Muserskiy came

right back to spike match point. It was Russia’s fourth gold medal in the event, most of any nation. Italy won its fourth men’s volleyball medal in the last five Olympics by beating Bulgaria in four sets for the bronze. GYMNASTICS (RHYTHMIC) The Russians won their fourth straight Olympic gold medal in the group event, easily beating Belarus. With Evgeniya Kanaeva winning the individual all-around Saturday, Russia has now won both rhythmic titles at every Olympics since the 2000 Sydney Games. The Russians didn’t even bother waiting for the final standings, exchanging hugs and blowing kisses at the camera before the score of Ukraine, the last team to perform, was announced. Italy was third after appearing to make mistakes on both its routines. The group event involves five gymnasts using two sets of apparatuses — five balls, and three ribbons and two hoops — in routines designed to showcase unison, flexibility and artistic skill. CYCLING (MOUNTAIN BIKE) World champion Jaroslav Kulhavy of the Czech Republic won a two-man sprint to take the gold medal in the men’s mountain bike race. Kulhavy made the most of a final steep ascent on the technical circuit in the English countryside to move ahead of Nino Schurter of Switzerland and then sprinted to the line. Schurter won the silver medal and Marco Aurelio Fontana of Italy took bronze. Kulhavy, whose sole objective this season was the Olympic gold, put his hands on his head as if he couldn’t believe he won. He then tied a Czech flag around his neck like a cape while Schurter, a bronze medalist in Beijing four years ago, collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

’Happy and glorious’ Games A smooth, safe Olympics come to rocking conclusion By Sarah Lyall

New York Times News Service

By Paul Haven Associated Press

LONDON — With a little British pomp and a lot of British pop, London brought the curtain down on a glorious Olympic Games on Sunday in a spectacular, technicolor pageant of landmarks, lightshows and lots of fun. The closing ceremony offered a sensory blast including rock ‘n’ roll rickshaws, dustbin percussionists, an exploding yellow car and a marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats. The Spice Girls staged a show-stopping reunion, and Monty Python’s Eric Idle sauntered through “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” — accompanied by Roman centurions, Scottish bagpipers and a human cannonball. It all made for a psychedelic mashup that had 80,000 fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along. Organizers estimated 300 million or more were watching around the world. What a way to end a games far more successful than many Londoners expected. Security woes were overcome, and traffic nightmares never materialized. The weather held up, more or less, and British athletes overachieved. It all came with a price tag of $14 billion — three times the original estimate. But nobody wanted to spoil the fun with such mundane concerns, at least not on this night. “We lit the flame, and we lit up the world,” said London organizing committee chief Sebastian Coe. “When our time came, Britain, we did it right.” International Olympic Committee President

Matt Dunham / The Associated Press

The mayor of Rio de Janeiro Eduardo Paes waves the Olympic flag after it was handed to him by President of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge, not seen, during the Closing Ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Sunday, in London.

Jacques Rogge declared the Olympics over with praise for the athletes. “Through your commitment to fair play, your respect for opponents, and your grace in defeat as well as in victory, you have earned the right to be called Olympians,” he said, adding: “These were happy and glorious games.” But the night was about splash more than speeches. Festive and fast-moving, the ceremony opened with pop bands Madness, Pet Shop Boys and One Direction, a shout-out to Winston Churchill and a tribute to the Union Jack — the floor of Olympic Stadium arranged to resemble the British flag. Monochrome recreations of London landmarks were covered in newsprint, from Big Ben’s clock tower and Tower Bridge to the London Eye ferris wheel and the chubby highrise known as the Gherkin. Street percussion group Stomp built the noise into a frenzy, and dancers brandished brooms, in a nod to the spontaneous popular

movement to clean up London after riots shook neighborhoods not far from Olympic Stadium just a year ago. Liam Gallagher performed “Wonderwall,” a 1990s hit by his former band, Oasis, Muse rocked the house with the hard-edged Olympic anthem “Survival,” and Queen guitarist Brian May was joined by singer Jessie J for a crowd-pleasing “We Will Rock You.” The headline performers were each paid a pound, a little more than $1.50. The night ended with the extinguishing of the multipetaled Olympic cauldron and a supercharged rendition of “My Generation” and other classics by The Who that had the crowd dancing in the aisles. Confetti rained down, and fireworks lit up the sky. Eight minutes were turned over to Brazil, host of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, which delivered an explosion of samba, sequins and Latin cool. Following tradition, the mayor of London handed the Olympic flag off to his Rio counterpart.

LONDON — Nobody blew anything up. Rain did not reduce Olympic Stadium to a soggy mess filled with waterlogged athletes and wretched spectators. London’s transportation system did not break down or seize up or become the world’s laughingstock. To the shock and then relief of a nation used to large events going awry, the Olympics instead went smoothly. People got to where they were meant to be. The food did not run out. Nobody attacked Wenlock the mascot. And everyone, from the most important official to the person whose job it was to confiscate our water and frisk for weapons, remained genuinely buoyant. On Saturday at the Olympic park, hundreds of mellow people stretched out on the banks of the newly unpolluted River Lea, watching a giant screen that showed women racewalking through central London. “Who knew there were such an array of sports?” said Dave Davies, 29, a Welshman who said that before the Olympics, he would never have touched a Union Jack. But there he was, wearing one as a cape. His friend Jodie Deveson, 37, said: “I had been thinking, ‘I don’t want to be in London; it’s going to be hell getting to work.’ But it hasn’t. Everyone at work has been huddling by the TV, watching the Olympics.” Sure, there were things that were irritating. I think we should have fewer McDonald’s in our lives, not more. I spent too much of my time fuming about the “We are proud to accept only Visa” signs at the cash registers. I found the park so large and unwieldy that half the time, I had only the vaguest idea of where I was.

But who cared, when there was so much good will? If the mood was blissedout by the river, it was electric inside Olympic Stadium a few hours later, when the track and field events featured two of the biggest stars of the games: the very confident Jamaican runner Usain Bolt and the much gentler British runner Mo Farah. I hadn’t realized how many things happen all at once. While Farah romped to victory, a large number of women were attempting high jumps at one end of the stadium, while at the other, an equally long parade of men were throwing javelins. Nobody cared much, although we worried that one of the javelins might go astray and hit Farah or one of the slower runners. But everything was too well organized for that. The javelins were retrieved by men in suits who hustled them off the field and sent them back via remotely controlled mini-Mini Coopers I love Mini Coopers, and I was even kind of loving javelins and the people who throw them. As I walked back, I passed Satellite Farm, where the world’s Olympic broadcasters had planted their satellite dishes. Someone sneezed. “Bless you,” I said. I always say it (I am from New York), while Britons generally keep themselves to themselves, as they say, in these situations. Not here, not in the Olympic park on a sultry Saturday night when the fastest man in Britain had just won another gold medal and a fleet of little toy cars helped keep the Olympic operation running smoothly. There were four other people, besides me, passing the sneezing person. “Bless you,” “bless you,” they all said, every one.

THE BULLETIN • MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 2012

Eaton Continued from D1 Even Bolt, a triple gold medalist in these Olympics in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay, was impressed. “I’m a great athlete, but to do 10 events, especially the 1,500, I’ve got to give it to him,” Bolt said. Since standing atop the victory podium in the gold medal ceremony at Olympic Stadium last Friday, the former standout from Bend’s Mountain View High School, five-time NCAA champion at the University of Oregon, and 2010 winner of The Bowerman award, has been on a whirlwind media blitz in London. For Eaton, however, the superlatives that mean the most are the ones that come from within the decathlon family. “He’s the best ever,” said Dan O’Brien, who watched his American record get washed away in Eaton’s emotional world-record performance in June at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials at Eugene’s Hayward Field. “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of 9,000 points. I think he’s going to do it once a year until Rio.” The 2016 Olympics will be held in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Bryan Clay, the 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, said anybody who has competed against Eaton quickly recognized the rare combination of speed, strength and endurance. “We all knew he was going to be very dangerous,” Clay said. “I remember (former UO assistant coach) Dan Steele walking up to me at the 2008 Trials, and he said, ‘Hey Bryan, we just recruited this kid. He’s pretty much exactly the same as you, and

Americans set gold standard in London By Helene Elliott Los Angeles Times

United States’ Ashton Eaton, fifth from right on bottom, poses with fellow decathlon athletes after he won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics, London, Thursday.

he’s going to do some really great things.’ “Four years later, he’s breaking the world record. I don’t know that anybody has ever matured in the event as quickly as he has. It’s mindboggling to see how well he’s done in such a short amount of time.” Since his first decathlon as a UO freshman in March 2007, Eaton has become a student of the event. Going into London, he knew that Milt Campbell and Rafer Johnson were the last U.S. decathletes to win gold and silver, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics — a feat that he and Trey Hardee matched last week. “The 1-2 finish is what we really wanted,” said Eaton, of Oregon Track Club Elite. Eaton’s coach, Harry Marra, said his star pupil came of age one year ago at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.

On that stage, Eaton allowed a few subpar events to affect his performance, needing a six-second personal record in the 1,500 to pull out a second-place finish by four points over Cuba’s Leonel Suarez, 8,505 points to 8,501. “He grew up in Daegu,” Marra said. “I think he showed that here.” Eaton’s gold was one of 29 medals won by Team USA in track and field at the London Olympics, its biggest haul since the 1992 Barcelona Games. U.S. track and field athletes won nine gold medals, 13 silver and seven bronze. The Oregon connection included a silver for UO alum Galen Rupp in the 10,000, the first medal by an American in that event since Billy Mills won gold in 1964; a gold for ex-Duck Keshia Baker as a member of the women’s 4x400 relay; and a silver for

Salem’s Ryan Bailey as the anchor of the men’s 4x100 relay. In addition, OTC Elite’s Sally Kipyego earned silver in the women’s 10,000 for Kenya, and Mo Farah, who trains with Rupp in Portland, became the greatest distance runner in British history with his double goldmedal performance in the 10,000 and 5,000. There were two close calls as former UO standout Matthew Centrowitz came up agonizingly short of a bronze in the 1,500 by .04 seconds, and a second medal eluded Kipyego in the 5,000 by .64. OTC Elite’s Nick Symmonds became the thirdfastest performer in U.S. history in the 800 meters with a PR of 1 minutes, 42.95 seconds, but he finished fifth as Rudisha broke his own world record at 1:40.91, the first man to ever run under 1:41.00.

WATER POLO

LONDON — reestyle wrestler Jordan Burroughs came to the Olympics with two objectives: to become the champion in the 163-pound weight class and to restore Team USA to what he considered its rightful place atop the goldmedal list. China had capitalized on its home-country advantage four years ago to win 51 gold medals, 15 more than the U.S. And although the U.S. won more medals overall in Beijing, 110100, some experts give greater weight to the number of gold medals when ranking Olympic performances. Burroughs was so determined to avoid a repeat that he downloaded an app to his smartphone that allowed him to track the daily medal count and vowed to do his part for Team USA. “I wanted to be the guy who helped us out,” said Burroughs, who did just that when he defeated Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi of Iran in the goldmedal match. “Even though China makes all our clothes, they can’t beat us in medals.” Thanks to Burroughs and 45 other triumphant team or individual performances, the U.S. had regained the top spot in both the gold-medal and overall tallies before Posh and the rest of the Spice Girls reunited to perform at Olympic Stadium during Sunday’s closing ceremony. The total of 46 gold medals was the highest for the U.S. in an Olympics contested on foreign soil. Those gold medals were supplemented by 29 silver medals and 29 bronze medals for a grand total of 104, giving Team USA the lead in the medal count for the fifth straight Games. China finished second in gold (38) and overall medals (87). Russia had 82 total medals, including 24 gold. Host Britain had more golds (29) but 65 overall. “We had very, very high expectations coming into the Games, and I think our expectations have been exceeded both on the field of play and off,” Scott Blackmun, chief executive of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said before Sunday’s final events. “One of our primary objectives is to get as many American athletes on the podium as we can. If you look at the team sports, we’re going to put more than 200 on the podium while we’re here, which is something that’s very, very important to us.” Swimmers won the most medals for Team USA, 31. That equaled the Beijing team’s total but the London swimmers won 16 gold medals, four more than the Beijing team. Michael Phelps dominated the pool here by winning six gold medals and eight overall to pad his career total to 22, the most in Olympic history. Missy Franklin, Ryan Lochte and Allison Schmitt each won five medals and U.S. swimmers set five world records, two by breaststroke specialist Rebecca Soni. The second-biggest contribution was 29 from a track and field team whose distance renaissance softened the sting of losing three of four individual sprint races to Jamaicans. Galen Rupp’s silver medal in the 10,000 meters was the

first by an American in that race since Billy Mills in 1964, and Leo Manzano’s silver in the men’s 1,500 was the first by an American at that distance since Jim Ryun won silver in 1968. Brigetta Barrett’s high-jump silver medal was the first for the U.S. in that event since Louise Ritter won gold in 1988. Allyson Felix of Los Angeles won three gold medals and Carmelita Jeter won gold, silver and bronze. Eighteen athletes or relays recorded national-best performances as the track and field team increased its medal total from 23 at Beijing and gave the overall U.S. total a big boost. “I personally feel like it’s important for us to take the title home because I feel like we’ve worked very hard and it’s part of our expectations,” said DeeDee Trotter, who won bronze in the 400 and gold with the dominant 1,600-meter relay team. “I think that it’s important in a way that we just want to maintain a level of talent and the level of medals that we’ve always been able to bring home, and to fall short of that would mean that we’re not bringing our ‘A’ game. And we always want to bring our ‘A’ game.” That happened in several other sports too. Divers won one gold medal and four overall after being shut out in Beijing, and Wimbledon provided a venerable backdrop for four tennis medals, up from two at Beijing. “I was there the day that Serena (Williams) played Maria Sharapova and that was the most dominating performance that I have ever seen by a female tennis player, ever,” Larry Probst, chair of the USOC board, said of the women’s final. “It was just unbelievable.” But that wasn’t true across the board. Gymnastics’ medal total dropped from 10 to six, though Gabby Douglas became the first American to win team and individual all-around gold medals. “Overall I think we’re happy with the way gymnastics turned out,” Probst said. Fencers won six medals at Beijing but only one here. Sailing was blanked for the first time since the 1936 Berlin Games. Most noticeably, the male boxers went home without a medal. In the Olympic debut of women’s boxing, middleweight Claressa Shields won gold and flyweight Marlen Esparza won bronze. “We’re disappointed in boxing. We want to do better, particularly in men’s boxing,” Blackmun said. “And by saying disappointed in boxing, I don’t mean in the people. We’re disappointed that we didn’t do better in boxing because I know we can do better and we have to focus on how we can do better.” Probst said Team USA’s success here can also be measured by athletes’ behavior away from the field, court, pool and track. On that score, he said, they all earned gold medals. “The other thing I would add is when we leave London, do people perceive our athletes as good ambassadors for the United States? And the answer is a resounding yes,” Probst said. “I think they have done an amazing job representing our country and we’re really proud of them.”

Marcos Ambrose performs a burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Watkins Glen International, Sunday, in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

Ambrose wins at Watkins Glen By John Kekis The Associated Press

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Slipping and sliding around oil-spattered Watkins Glen International on the last lap and fighting for the lead, Marcos Ambrose and Brad Keselowski didn’t know what lay around the next turn. “It was absolutely chaos at the end,” Ambrose said. “I had really burned off the brakes. I couldn’t figure out where it (the oil) was coming from. It was just absolutely crazy at the end.” Ambrose finally passed Keselowski heading to the final turn in a stunning fenderbanging duel to win the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International for the second straight time. The oil had been spewing from the No. 47 of Bobby Labonte and ruined the day for Kyle Busch, who seemingly held a commanding lead heading to the white flag of the Finger Lakes 355. “In the end, nobody knew what was going on,” said Richard Petty, owner of Ambrose’s No. 9 Ford. “They were slipping and sliding off the race

track. Marcos might have known a little bit about it, but the rest of us didn’t. Marcos stayed with it all day. Everything fell our way.” It didn’t for Busch, who led 43 laps. “Kyle hit the oil,” said Dave Rogers, crew chief of Busch’s No. 18 Toyota. “The 47 broke. You can see him, he just went by smoking. He left oil down all over the track. Kyle hit the oil and it allowed the 2 (Keselowski) to get to us.” Desperate for a win to move back into contention for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Busch skidded sideways coming out of the first turn of the final lap. Keselowski’s No. 2 Dodge caromed off the side of Busch heading uphill through the high-speed esses and Ambrose followed Keselowski through as Busch spun to the side. “Busch slipped up big in turn one,” said Keselowski, who suffered damage to the front of his car. “There was nothing he could do. We all checked up and Marcos was right on my bumper. We all just about spun out. We got to the inner loop, and again noth-

ing but oil.” Skidding around the 11-turn, 2.45-mile layout, Ambrose and Keselowski battled side by side nearly all the way around. Both even went into the grass in the inner loop at the top of the esses but kept charging. “I knew there was oil all over the bus stop (inner loop),” winning crew chief Todd Parrott said. “It looked like the cars went through the grass because there wasn’t any oil.” Ambrose slipped again in turn 10, but Keselowski couldn’t drive past. Neither gave ground, and Ambrose forged ahead on the final turn, another hard right-hander, and turned away Keselowski’s final charge on the outside. “I must have hit the oil one more time and he didn’t,” Keselowski said. “I thought I had him.” Busch was not available for comment after the race. Entering the race, Ambrose had one win and had never finished lower than third in four starts at The Glen for an average finish of 2.3 and an average green flag speed of nearly 120 mph. Both were tops in the series.

Rory McIlroy reacts as his putt drops for a birdie to win the final round of the PGA Championship in Kiawah Island, S.C., Sunday.

Ryu’s birdie string gives her win in Jamie Farr Toledo Classic SYLVANIA, Ohio — Even though it had only been more than a year since her victory in the U.S. Women’s Open, So Yeon Ryu was already feeling the pressure to win again. She lapped the field to end the drought Sunday. Ryu rode a string of six straight birdies in the middle of her round to a 9-under 62 and a seven-stroke victory in the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic. “This is just my turning point,” she said. “I want to win again.” Ryu began the day locked in a four-player logjam — all South Koreans — for first place. She took the lead by herself for the first time with an 8-foot birdie putt at the third hole and gradually stretched her advantage until pulling away with birdies on Nos. 9-14. “On hole No. 9, I made a really long putt and my confidence level went up,” she said. Angela Stanford made a long birdie putt on the final hole for 66 to finish second at 13-under 271. South Koreans Inbee Park and Chella Choi each shot 69 and shared third place at 12 under. — The Associated Press

RACES

McIlroy Continued from D1 McIlroy seized control with back-to-back birdies Sunday morning to complete the stormdelayed third round with a 67 and build a threeshot lead. No one got closer than two shots the rest of the way, and McIlroy closed out a remarkable week by playing bogey-free over the final 23 holes of a demanding Ocean Course. David Lynn, a 38-year-old from England who was playing in America for the first time, won the B-flight. He closed with a 68 and was the runner-up. Woods, who shared the 36-hole lead for the second time this year in a major, was never a serious factor. He tossed away his chances Saturday before the storm blew in and never could get closer than four shots. He closed with a 72, failing to break par on the weekend in any of the four majors for the first time in his career. If there was a signature shot for McIlroy at Kiawah Island, it might have been Saturday when his tee shot lodged into a tree on the third hole. He only found it with help from the TV crew, took his penalty shot and fired a wedge into 6 feet to save par. He was on his way, and he never let up. McIlroy also won the U.S. Open by eight shots, the kind of dominance that Woods has displayed over so many years. By winning the PGA Championship, he is halfway home to the career Grand Slam. “It was a great round of golf. I’m speechless,” said McIlroy after hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy, the heaviest of the four majors. “It’s just been incredible. I had a good feeling about it at the start. I never imagined to do this.” Winning the final major of the year ends what had been a tumultuous season for McIlroy. Despite winning the Honda Classic in early March, he went into a tail spin by missing four cuts over five tournaments, as questions swirled that his romance with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki was hurting his game. Instead, McIlroy put a big hurt on the strongest field of the year. “He’s very good. We all know the talent he has,” Woods said. “He went through a little spell this year, and I think that was good for him. We all go through those spells in our careers. He’s got all the talent in the world to do what he’s doing. And this is the way that Rory can play. When he gets it going, it’s pretty impressive to watch.” McIlroy finished on 13-under 275. Ian Poulter put up the stiffest challenge, though not for long. Poulter, who started the final round six shots behind, made six birdies through seven holes to get within two shots. He made three straight bogeys on the back nine and had to settle for a 69. He tied for third at 4under 284, along with Justin Rose (66) and defending champion Keegan Bradley (68). In the final qualifying event for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, nothing changed. Phil Mickelson was holding down the eighth and final spot, and he stayed there when neither Bo Van Pelt nor Steve Stricker could make a move on the back nine. Davis Love III will announce four captain’s picks in three weeks. McIlroy was tied for the lead with Vijay Singh when he returned Sunday. Twenty-seven holes later, he had no peer in the final major of the year.

Continued from D1 Hahn said that even though the business is still just starting up (TrailRags have been on store shelves for roughly five weeks), sales are steady, adding that six more maps of other popular Bend-area mountain biking trails are in the works. TrailRags maps aim to be functional for locals and tourists alike, said Nelson, 43. “There are great maps out there that are overviews of the area, but they give you a lot more information than you usually need for a ride,” said Nelson. “We try to keep (our maps) simple and usable.” In addition to serving as a map, the bandannas can be used in a variety of ways: “It’s a sling in a pinch, or a tourniquet,” said Nelson, citing a couple of worst-case-scenario applications. Also, he added, “you can use it to clean your bike, or as artwork. Or as a memento.” TrailRags are not only for cyclists. They can be used by runners, hikers, or anyone using the trails, said Hahn. Unlike a paper map, Hahn observed, TrailRags are made of 100 percent cotton and can be thrown in the laundry. And at about 22 square inches, they are easy to stuff into a back pocket — no folding required. The bandannas come in an array of seven bright colors. And while the maps are fairly simple in design, the production process is more complex.

The first step, said Nelson, involves riding each trail multiple times while mapping it on his GPS watch. “It’s not just a map we pulled off the Internet, it’s from our own experience,” said Nelson. “We try to draw a map with highly accurate contours.” Nelson said that, for each map, he spends an average of roughly 40 hours on the trail doing fieldwork, and about the same amount of time in front of the computer in Photoshop mapping the track log recorded on his GPS. “You have to decide which elements (of the trail) are necessary,” he explained. In addition to common navigational aids like roads and bridges, Hahn said, TrailRags include landmarks that a typical map might not show, like the “flaming chicken” roundabout located in the Phil’s Trail complex. Hahn said he and Nelson are committed to utilizing local vendors. “When Bend succeeds,” Hahn said, “we succeed.” “I can find (vendors) cheaper, but I’m not interested,” Hahn added. “It’s so nice to work with locals.” The feeling is mutual, according to the owner of WebCyclery, Kevin Gorman: “I like supporting local guys … I can tell customers, ‘This (product) was made here in Bend.’” Eventually, Hahn and Nelson said, they would like their company to become a “fulltime, nationwide venture.” Said Hahn: “It’s kind of limitless.”

Cancer survival rates have never been higher d you then But what cure r can kill you late

Chest radiation can increase cancer risks The Summer/Fall 2011 issue explored the higher risk of cancer faced by those who have undergone cancer treatment (“Living with the Cure”). New data released at the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology found that women who received chest radiation for childhood cancer face a similar risk of breast cancer to those who have genetic mutations known as BRCA 1 or 2. “While most women are aware that hereditary mutations can increase their risk of breast cancer, few are aware that radiation to the chest can also increase this risk, including the women who themselves were treated,” said Dr. Chaya Moskowitz, a biostatistician with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and lead author of the study. “It’s not just survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma who are at risk of developing breast cancer, but survivors of other childhood cancers typically treated with more moderate doses of radiation.” The Children’s Oncology Group recommends that women who received 20 grays of radiation exposure during their treatment start mammography as early as age 25 or eight years after treatment, whichever is later. The Sloan-Kettering research suggested women who received 10 grays or more could also benefit from early breast cancer screening. — Markian Hawryluk

In the Spring/Summer 2011 issue, we told you about efforts to study the collection of microbes living in the human body, known as the microbiome (“The War Within”). This summer, the first major effort to describe the microbiome was completed and published. The Human Microbiome Project, as it was called, involved hundreds of scientists and volunteers who collected bacteria living on a normal, healthy human body with the hope of gaining a baseline picture of the number of microbes that call us home. What they found was astonishing. There are more than 10,000 species of microbes that inhabit the human ecosystem, making up several pounds of each person’s body weight. Moreover, the scientists found that each person contains millions of microbial genes compared to a mere 22,000 human genes. These microbes, the scientists think, perform a variety of functions in the body, including some very beneficial ones such as helping with digestion. They now plan to study the microbiome further to see if different microbes are present in people with certain diseases. — Betsy Q. Cliff

Alternative donor screening protocols Since we reported on the blood donation pipeline and concerns over a shrinking pool of blood donors (“Blood Relations,” Winter/ Spring 2012), officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services signaled they were exploring alternatives to the lifetime ban on gay men donating blood. The agency issued a request for proposals on how to design pilot studies that could test alternative screening protocols and was reviewing the comments submitted. In June, 62 members of Congress signed a letter supporting the agency’s consideration of other approaches, and urged HHS to explore ways to differentiate between gay men engaging in high-risk sexual activity and those who pose little or no risk to the blood supply. — Markian Hawryluk

How is it that medical researchers can be so often misled or so easily mistaken that they conclude that drugs, treatments or interventions work when they really don’t? For one, it’s the nature of medical research. BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK

n the 1990s, research conclusively showed that when patients had a sudden blockage of a coronary artery resulting in a heart attack, the best course of action was to clear the blockage with a tiny balloon and to implant a stent, a small mesh tube used to prop open clogged arteries. The treatment was better than clot-busting drugs at restoring blood flow to the heart, resulting in more patients surviving heart attacks and fewer patients left with debilitating heart failure. The intervention was so effective at saving lives that doctors began to use stents for other patients who weren’t in the throes of a heart attack. Why wait until a heart attack happened? A stent could keep arteries from getting completely blocked in the first place, they reasoned. By the early 2000s, doctors were implanting about a quarter of a million stents each year, 85 percent of them in patients who weren’t having a heart attack. Patients needed only complain of chest pain upon exertion or have a scan that showed narrowed arteries — even if they didn’t have any symptoms — and doctors would recommend a stent. But in 2007, a randomized controlled trial known by the acronym COURAGE found that individuals with stable heart disease did no better after a $15,000 stent implantation than they did taking medications that prevented chest pain and protected the heart and blood vessels. Somehow a treatment that carried more risk and a higher cost for patients with no additional benefit had become standard practice until better research proved otherwise. Doctors will tell you they’re scientists. Trained in biology and chemistry, schooled in the analysis of statistics and the scientific method, they act on the basis of research, implementing the findings of rigorously controlled medical studies that provide decisive evidence about the best course of treatment. Yet there’s a growing realization even among doctors themselves that medical research isn’t nearly as reliable as we’d like to think. Over the past decade, concerns have emerged that half, maybe

more, of published medical research findings could be flat wrong. This realization comes at a time when the push to adhere to proven strategies, to rein in doctors from freelancing in the care of patients, is being inextricably woven into the fabric of the medical system. There is at the same time a concern that the tapestry of medicine has more than a few loose threads. Last year, three physicians from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University reviewed the 212 original articles published in a single year of the New England Journal of Medicine, arguably the most prestigious medical journal in the world. Slightly more than half of the articles published a claim about some medical treatment, whether newly proposed or established practice. And of those, 13 percent overturned what was previously considered standard medical practice. Of the 35 studies that tested one of the established clinical practices — things doctors routinely do now — 16 confirmed the practice and 16 contradicted it. The remaining three studies were inconclusive. “They’re no more accurate than a flip of a coin,” said Dr. Vinay Prasad, one of the researchers who conducted the review. Prasad maintains that much of medical practice is unproven. “We don’t know if it works or if it doesn’t work, but it came into practice for a lot of reasons,” he said. “It seemed to make sense, and it became so ingrained in the culture that we do it every day. From time to time, people have had the courage to test some really wellestablished truths or the sacred cows of medicine.” Occasionally they find out what we had been doing for years was instituted in error. “It wasn’t wrong like ‘It was fine years ago, and we have something better.’ It was wrong in the sense that it was no better than what came before it, and no better than doing nothing,” Prasad said. “We call that medical reversal.” At best, a reversal means that patients have been getting ineffective treatment, accepting all the potential risks and side effects without realizing any benefits. At worst, it means that patients are being harmed

Coffee and pancreatic cancer A 1981 study in the New England Journal of Medicine linked coffee to a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. The researchers, who were gastroenterologists, had identified patients in the hospital with pancreatic cancer and then asked them how much coffee they had consumed on a daily basis. The doctors then asked their other patients how much coffee they drank. Those with pancreatic cancer drank much more coffee . The flaw: Pancreatic cancer generally has few symptoms until its latter stages. So patients continued to live normal lifestyles — including drinking coffee — until they were hospitalized. The gastroenterologists’ other hospitalized patients, however, were mainly those with chronic gut conditions, who hadn’t been able to tolerate coffee for years.

by the treatment or by the lack of an alternate treatment that could have saved their lives.

Challenging the status quo No single researcher has challenged the status quo of medical research more than Dr. John Ioannidis, a Greek researcher now at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. It was Ioannidis’ groundbreaking 2005 article, “Why Most Published Research Findings are False,” that has served as a clarion call for skeptics challenging the medical research establishment. Ioannidis maintains that up to 90 percent of research is flawed. It is a shocking statement for many — as much today as when he first raised the issue seven years ago — but it’s based on more than just the numbers of medical reversals. There’s a simple logic behind the claim as well. Consider a researcher trying to uncover a treatment for a condition. There are an infinite number of possible interventions, but only a handful that might actually work. We might grant a researcher the benefit of the doubt, that he or she is likely to limit the research to the interventions that are scientifically plausible. Perhaps that would reduce the odds of finding something that works to one in a thousand, or one in a hundred. Are researchers so good at picking effective interventions that they could be right in more than half of their cases? Yet that’s exactly the scenario playing out in published medical research. The vast majority of published research findings show a positive effect; that is, the study proved a treatment worked. It’s just the opposite of what would have been expected. And that wasn’t just the impact of the marginal studies published in little-known journals that had little impact on medical practice. Ioannidis looked at studies that been cited more than 1,000 times by the authors of other research. Citations are a reflection of the atten-

Page 10

tion a study has garnered, good or bad, and of the impact a research article has had on the field. Ioannidis found that 45 of the 49 most-cited studies had a positive finding. Of those 45, the conclusions of 16 percent were contradicted by later studies. Another 16 percent were found to have overstated the benefit. Less than half — 44 percent — of the most high-impact findings were confirmed by subsequent research. “He hit the nail on the head,” Prasad said. “If we think of all the questions that could be asked, isn’t it shocking that what is published is consistently 70 to 80 percent positive findings? It’s too good to be true.”

The nature of research How is it that medical researchers can be so often misled or so easily mistaken that they conclude that drugs, treatments or interventions work when they really don’t? For one, it’s the nature of medical research. Most people think of research as being like the discovery of penicillin: It either works or it doesn’t. It either cures the disease or it doesn’t. There’s little doubt. Some discoveries are still like that. The discovery of the drug Gleevac by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University in the late 1990s, for example, changed the progression of chronic myelogenous leukemia from a disease with a 30 percent survival rate to one that nearly 90 percent of patients survive. But Gleevac-type breakthroughs are few and far between. Most research deals with more subtle effects, incremental changes in risk that might not show a benefit until years into the future. Say you’re an average 45-year-old man. You have a 1.4 percent chance of having a heart attack or stroke by age 80. Your doctor prescribes a drug that research suggests will cut your risk of a heart attack in half. Even if your doctor could follow you for 35 years until you turned 80, there would be no way to know whether the drug truly prevented a heart attack or you were never going to have one anyway. Was it the drug or diet, exercise and genetics that kept you from having a heart attack? Only one in 71 of those 45-year-old men will have a heart attack or stroke. If the drug works, more than 140 men would have to be treated to prevent a single heart attack. It’s only when doctors can compare a large number of patients taking the drug to a large number of patients not taking the drug, and see the difference in heart attack rates, that they can link the drug to a benefit. Even then the doctors would have to be sure that there weren’t other important differences between the groups that led to more heart attacks in the group not taking the drug. “We see this over and over again,” said Dr. Roger Chou, scientific director for the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center, which reviews the quality of evidence behind various medical tests and treatments. “When you’re looking at complex things like health, and

SUMMER / FALL 2012 • HIGH DESERT PULSE

you’re trying to isolate the effects of a single component — say your diet — it’s very difficult. And it’s difficult because there are so many other factors that affect health; our ability to control for these other factors is often limited.”

Psychology of medicine It’s not enough for researchers to show that people get better after treatment. They must show that the treatment is the reason patients got better by designing studies that rule out the effects of all those other factors. When patients improve, the natural inclination is to believe the treatment made the difference. But medical research is fraught with complexities that can mislead us. For one, the patient may have gotten better due to the natural progression of the illness. Many conditions — such as a cold or the flu — are self-limiting. Eventually the body’s immune system gets the upper hand and clears the body of the virus or bacteria causing the sickness. But patients often seek treatment when their symptoms are at their worst. They get a treatment and begin to feel better, concluding it’s the treatment that changed the course of their disease. But in reality, they may have recovered just as quickly on their own. Patients also tend to get better just because they’re being studied, a phenomenon known as the Hawthorne effect. It’s named after a famous series of studies in the 1920s and 1930s at the Western Electrical Company’s Hawthorne Works in Chicago. Researchers were testing what working conditions would improve productivity. When they tried brighter lights, productivity went up. When they tried dimming the lights, productivity went up. Whatever they tried, productivity went up. When they concluded their study and left, productivity dropped. The same happens in health care. Patients who get a lot of attention from doctors doing research tend to do better. It’s similar to the placebo effect. Giving patients a sugar pill with no medicine in it sometimes has a therapeutic effect just because patients believe they are getting a medication. Particularly when studies use a subjective measure — such as reducing pain — it’s easy for researchers to be misled. Over the years, dozens of interventions — spinal manipulation, epidural blocks, exercise programs, fusion surgery — have all been shown to be effective for treating lower back pain in about 80 percent of cases. On the other hand, 80 percent of lower back pain resolves on its own within six to seven weeks. More recently, spine surgeons took a shine to vertebroplasty, a procedure in which a cement was injected into spinal vertebrae with compression fractures. Again, 80 percent of patients got better. “This is a procedure that was very enthusiastically taken up. There were neurosurgeons here in Portland where you could call them and get the patient in the next day,” Chou said. Then in 2009, doctors tested vertebroplasty against a fake pro-

Vioxx and heart risk Vioxx was introduced in 1999 and quickly became a popular drug to treat arthritis and chronic pain. A randomized clinical trial funded by Merck showed the drug was safer than naproxen because it caused less internal bleeding and other gastrointestinal side effects. The flaw: While Vioxx did cause less bleeding than naproxen, the 2000 study comparing the two drugs showed a higher number of heart attacks and strokes among those taking Vioxx. Merck published the findings anyway, touting the reduced risk of bleeding. To explain away the higher risk of cardiac events, Merck said that naproxen must protect against heart attacks and strokes, a previously unrecognized effect of the drug. It was another four years before an independent study highlighted the higher cardiac risk and forced the company to pull the drug from the market. By that time, more than 2 million patients had taken Vioxx, producing annual sales of $2.5 billion.

cedure, in which doctors went through the same process with patients, taking them into the surgery room and inserting a needle but injecting no cement. Two trials found the sham procedure had the same rate of relieving pain as the actual procedure. “It is just a reliance on (knowledge of the disease) without any real clinical trials,” said Dr. Adam Cifu, an internist at the University of Chicago Medical School. “We’ve done this to a few people and they feel better, so we’re going to do it. That makes no sense. That’s what we were doing 300 years ago with snake oil. This person got better, so it must work. That’s just wrong.”

Study design Researchers try to prevent these types of missteps by including a control group of patients, similar in every way to the test subjects, except that they don’t get the intervention. But even in controlled studies, there are plenty of pitfalls. Medical research is subject to the influence of various factors that can intentionally or unintentionally bias the results. In some cases, it’s the way patients are recruited for the trials or how they are assigned to receive the intervention or be in the control group, a problem known as selection bias. In one famous case, a nurse who felt sorry for sicker patients assigned them to the treatment group, while steering healthier patients to the placebo group. Not surprisingly, the treatment group had much worse results. Better study design can help. The most reliable type of research is the large, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, where patients are randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group, and neither the test subjects nor those treating them know which group is which. And when these types of trials are significantly large, they rule out findings that might be due to chance, rather than

Avandia and heart risk Approved in 1999, Avandia was marketed as a safer, more effective way to treat diabetes. The drug was approved on the basis of studies that showed it was effective at lowering blood sugar levels of those with Type 2 diabetes. It quickly became the best-selling diabetes drug. The flaw: In 2007, a researcher from the Cleveland Clinic analyzed data posted online by GlaxoSmithKline, Avandia’s manufacturer, as part of a legal settlement over a case involving a different drug. The analysis showed that patients taking Avandia had a 43 percent higher risk of heart problems than those taking other medications or a placebo. Much of the research that showed a higher risk had never been published. Avandia remains on the market, but under strict restrictions.

a real effect. While randomized controlled trials, or RCTs, aren’t infallible, they have the highest batting average of any type of study. The findings of large, well-designed RCTs hold up 85 percent of the time. But RCTs are difficult and expensive to conduct, and because they start with the intervention being tested, it can take years if not decades to get meaningful results. Instead, researchers have opted for study designs that are easier, faster and less expensive, but at the cost of reliability. When researchers turn to observational studies — where they observe what is happening rather than setting the parameters of the study themselves — their findings hold only 20 percent of the time. The problem in observational studies is that the researchers aren’t setting up the experiment. Other people — the test subjects themselves or their doctors — are deciding whether a patient gets a treatment or not. Researchers can try to create a control group by finding individuals who are similar in every conceivable way to those who got the treatment, but who didn’t get the treatment being studied. But the approach is ripe for selection error. There’s no way to ensure there’s only one difference between the groups. “Observational studies are great at outlining the prognosis of a certain group, a certain cohort with a disease, and they generally give us really good information about the treatment that these people are getting,” Cifu said. “But we’ve been burned on those, dating back to the Nurses Health Study with estrogen replacement. We’ve been burned on those a lot.” The Nurses Health Study enrolled more than 120,000 female registered nurses in 1976, and the surveyed them every two years about their diet, lifestyle and health. One of the major findings of the study was that women who took hormone replacement therapy reduced their risk of a heart attack by two-thirds. On the basis of the finding in 1985, thousands of women were prescribed hormones, not only

Page 12

to treat symptoms of menopause but to protect them against future heart attacks and death. But two RCTs, one in 1998 and the second in 2002, conclusively proved that giving women estrogen increased, not decreased, their risk of heart attacks. The entire debacle became the poster child for the unreliability of observational studies. “If you think about why observational studies go wrong, there’s probably nothing better than the Nurses Health Study example,” Cifu said. “The two groups are clearly different. The people who chose to take estrogen made all sorts of other healthy choices.” It was only in hindsight that researchers identified what went wrong. Some critics have argued that the researchers made a huge blunder in deciding not to factor in the socioeconomic status of the nurses in the study. Those who chose hormone replacement therapy, it was later discovered, were better off financially than those who did not. And other studies have linked financial status with better health outcomes. The researchers, however, believed they didn’t need to adjust for income. After all, these were all nurses and seemingly should have similar income levels. “It’s easy to go back later and say we should have adjusted for that, but these were very smart people who said, ‘We adjusted for the 20 to 30 other things we thought were important,’” Chou said. “It’s so difficult to know ahead of time what you’re doing is wrong.” Most nutritional studies are observational, simply because it’s so difficult to get two groups of people to eat the exact same thing. Some nutritional studies have attempted to do this by confining patients to a hospital and providing them with all their meals. But you couldn’t conduct a study like that long enough to provide meaningful results over a lifetime of dietary choices. Additionally, you’d have the problem that when the control group isn’t eating something, they must eat something else, introducing a second variable to the study. Increasingly, observational studies are conducted by analyzing databases, looking for associations between behaviors or medications and certain outcomes. These types of studies can suggest a link between two things, but can’t prove a causal connection. It’s why so many vitamin studies have failed to show any benefit. An observational study crunches the data and finds that people who consume lots of a particular type of vitamin have a lower risk of heart disease or cancer. But once the notion is tested in an randomized controlled trial, no effect is found. Last year, two separate groups of researchers analyzed the same database of patients taking medications for osteoporosis to see if the drugs raised the risk of cancer. Neither group knew the other was conducting the same research. Despite dealing with the same group of patients and the same outcome, they came up with the opposite conclusions. One study, published in the British Medical Journal, identified patients

SUMMER / FALL 2012 • HIGH DESERT PULSE

with cancer, then looked back to see how many of them had taken the drugs. The other study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, identified patients who were taking the drugs, then matched them with a similar group of patients who weren’t taking the drug and counted up how many cancers occurred in each group. The first study found that those with cancer were nearly twice as likely to have filled at least 10 prescriptions for oral bisphosphonates than a control group of patients who did not have cancer. The second found little difference in the risk of cancer between the two groups. “Those are cheap, simple things to do,” Cifu said. “You don’t have to recruit patients and you don’t have to get someone to fund them.” While well-designed RCTs are considered the gold standard, the only type of study that can prove a causal connection, their difficulty has led researchers to cut corners. It could take decades for a trial to determine whether a heart drug prevents heart attacks and saves lives. Instead, researchers rely on surrogate endpoints, such as lowering cholesterol or high blood pressure. High cholesterol and blood pressure have been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks. Such changes can show up in weeks or months rather than years or decades. Last year, researchers from the medical schools at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Harvard analyzed all of the randomized medication trials published in the six most influential medical journals over a two-year period. They found that 37 percent used such surrogate markers. “Patients and doctors care less about whether a medication lowers blood pressure than they do about whether it prevents heart attacks and strokes or decreases the risk of premature death,” said Dr. Michael Hochman, the lead author of the study. “Similarly, patients don’t care if a medication prevents deaths from heart disease if it leads to an equivalent increase in deaths from cancer.” Yet the researchers found that 27 percent of studies measured only whether a drug prevents a single type of death. Dr. Danny McCormick, a Harvard Medical School professor and coauthor of the analysis, said that studies using surrogate markers or disease-specific mortality data were much more likely to be funded by pharmaceutical companies or other commercial ventures. Some 45 percent of industry-funded studies relied on surrogate endpoints, compared with 29 percent of those with no commercial funding. “It may be easier to show that a commercial product has a beneficial effect on a surrogate marker like blood pressure than on a hard outcome like heart attacks,” McCormick said. “In fact, studies in our analysis using surrogate outcomes were more likely to report positive results than those using hard outcomes like heart attacks.”

The business of research The higher use of less-reliable study designs by pharmaceutical manufacturers is perhaps not surprising given the billions of dollars

Appendectomy and selection bias A randomized controlled trial published in 1996 in the World Journal of Surgery found that laparoscopic appendectomy had similar outcomes to open appendectomy, but had lower infection rates and a shorter recovery time. The flaw: It was later discovered that the researchers’ attempts at randomizing patients to one group or the other were circumvented by the staff carrying out the study. When a patient required an appendectomy, staff members were to pull an envelope at random from a stack, and open it to determine whether the patients should get laparoscopic or open surgery. The trial ran as designed during the day, but at night, staff had to wake the attending surgeon if a laparoscopic surgery was required. The staff members were hesitant to call on those surgeons in the middle of night — particular those with difficult personalities. So the staff came up with a simple solution. When they didn’t want to wake the surgeon, they held the envelopes up to the light, finding one that assigned the patient in question to an open procedure. That meant patients with worse cases who couldn’t wait till the morning tended to get open procedures, while those who could wait till the morning tended to get laparoscopic surgery.

at stake in pharmaceutical research. A new drug’s patent protection starts at the moment the patent is filed, starting the clock for a limited window before generic competition can eat into the company’s profits. But it may take additional time for the company to secure market approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The shorter the research phase, the more the company can profit. In many cases, those motivations have led not just to unreliable studies, but to outright fraud. In 2004, Warner-Lambert, a pharmaceutical company that had been purchased by Pfizer, pled guilty to violating rules regarding marketing of unapproved uses of the epilepsy drug Neurontin. A subsequent class-action suit led to the release of 8,000 pages of corporate documents describing how pharmaceutical companies can skew the research to make their drugs look more effective. The strategies included companies writing research articles on behalf of researchers, quashing the publication of negative research and changing the parameters of the study after seeing the results. Perhaps what was most concerning about the Neurontin case was that the actions the company took were only illegal because they promoted unapproved, or off-label, uses of the drug. Had the company used the same strategies to promote the approved use of the drug, it would have been fair game. Equally frightening was that most of the players involved considered the tactics standard practice. “What’s great about the Neurontin case was that the report became Continued on Page 47

or much of Mary Anderson’s life, exercising was just another thing on the to-do list. She regularly logged her time on the elliptical between raising two sons and working long hours as a Deschutes County prosecutor. She watched the scale to make sure her weight stayed in check. “In the past, working out was a chore,” she said recently. “I went to the gym to do cardio. I never really liked it.” Then about four years ago, Anderson’s perception of exercise changed. Friends coaxed her to try new activities with them. She began sampling sports like hors d’oeuvres from a platter. Today the Central Oregon native is as busy as ever — Anderson, 42, became the county’s chief deputy district attorney in 2011 and is a single mom. But now, not only does she eagerly await that next workout, she also seeks out new athletic challenges. In the past two years, she has run

several half-marathons and in June completed a grueling race featuring military-style obstacles. The difference, she said, has been finding sports she loves and doing them with family and friends. “Now it’s more of a reward,” she said. “My friends are there and we encourage each other. It’s my social time.”

Learning to love exercise Musing recently over tea and half an almond croissant, Anderson said she played tennis in high school, but at that age she was really more into her family’s horses than sports. Anderson said she approached exercise as something she had to do for health and calorie control. Then a friend asked her to join an indoor soccer team. She noticed that exercise became play. The real turning point, she said, was in 2008. Another friend invited her to Bikram yoga, a form of yoga in which the room’s temperature is cranked up over 100 degrees.

100% on the course While she doesn’t do as much yoga now, it struck her at the time that she found it a positive experience. “It was the first time I was doing something for me instead of just doing my time,” she said. It encouraged her to try more and do more. Last year, a third friend asked her to try out a learn-to-run class. Although she admits running still isn’t her first preference, she signed up to spend time with her pal. Now, Anderson’s passions are stand-up paddleboarding — which she calls a great core workout — and CrossFit. CrossFit is often done in a gym setting and focuses on strength and conditioning. It goes for high intensity, varying exercises throughout the workout to target different areas of the body. Anderson started a little more than a year ago and said she is hooked on the combination of intense training and camaraderie. “I’m going to sound like one of the people who has drunk the Kool-Aid, but CrossFit has changed my perspective on working out,” she said. “It’s the most supportive community of people,” she added. “It’s

not who’s first or a competition, because everyone is helping everybody else.”

Taking on new challenges Anderson regularly squeezes in exercise at lunch or after work with colleagues from the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office. Or she meets her dad, Alex Robertson, who at 65 is also into CrossFit. She talks of her workout partners as teammates; they motivate and encourage each other, as well as hold each other accountable. In a town of elite athletes, Anderson laughs at the idea that she is doing anything special. Yet in the past several years, she has taken on some tough athletic challenges. Brandi Shroyer, a friend, running partner and fellow county prosecutor, described Anderson as a “very strong athlete.” “I think Mary approaches working out just like she does everything else,” Shroyer said. “She’s committed, she’s a hard worker, she works well with the team and she has fun.” Anderson accomplished last year’s goal of running her first half-

marathon, the Happy Girls Half Marathon. This year it was the Tough Mudder in Vancouver, B.C.: a 10-plus-mile race punctuated by 25 obstacles designed by British special forces that involve climbing, swimming and hauling. While the distance isn’t terribly long, it takes on average at least three hours to complete. And each course is different. Anderson said she hauled herself over wooden structures dubbed Berlin Walls, sloshed through pools of mud and ran uphill carrying a log. One obstacle called the Arctic Enema required racers to plunge into water so cold that ice chunks floated on top. “The cold water obstacles were shocking,” she said. “In the middle of one there’s a wall, so you had to go under. It was so cold I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t talk. “You get out and you start running again and within a few minutes you don’t even remember that you were in cold water.” Yet the point of the event, Anderson said, is the essence of what she loves about

How does she do it? | MARY ANDERSON working out: It’s about pulling together and team spirit. Everyone helps each other. She and her eight teammates finished the race together in roughly three-and-a-half hours. “We killed the obstacles,” she said. “I was so proud of us. We had so much fun and we were so happy when we were done.” Friends say Anderson is fit and competitive, regularly pushing herself to the limit. But she does it with good humor. Colin Richards, owner and head coach at Bend’s CrossFit All-Terrain, was her team’s personal trainer for the Tough Mudder. He said Anderson was the ringleader in getting the team together and kept them coordinated and motivated through six months of training. They did aerobic and anaerobic training, with plenty of legwork, running and weight-bearing resistance moves. “When she shows up it might seem like it’s a 75 percent day, and then she gets going and she goes for it 100 percent,” he said. “It’s very hard for her to not go 100 percent. She really loves to push herself.”

Maintaining balance For all the intensity, Anderson’s attitude about exercise remains laid back. She takes that stance in part because of her busy life. When her boys are with her, Anderson said she makes them the priority. Max is 15 and Charlie is 11. Anderson’s job is normally less than 50 hours a week but once in awhile can push into 60 or 70 hours. Like all prosecutors, she on occa-

sion gets called to crime scenes in the middle of the night. She said she tries to reserve one day a week in which she doesn’t work at all. These pressures make working out with friends all the more important: It’s Anderson’s stress relief and social life. So she squeezes it in at lunch with colleagues, on a weekend morning with a girlfriend and even at times includes her children. Max sometimes does CrossFit with her — she said even though he doesn’t work out regularly, he can easily top his mom in the gym. She likes to get in four sessions a week, yet she doesn’t beat herself up if she can only manage one. Asked if she mountain bikes, she smiled and said, “I do socially.” “People shouldn’t be so hard on themselves,” she said. “If you miss a workout, no big deal.” These days, she rarely gets on a scale. “Now I have different goals,” she said. “It’s all about what I can do, what I can lift, what workout I can complete.” She advises people to try new sports — at some point, something might click. “If you aren’t looking forward to what you’re doing,” she said, “then you shouldn’t be doing it.” For the next challenge, she’s talking with her teammates about doing another race, perhaps a second Tough Mudder. And she’s excited. “I hope I never have to do time on an elliptical again.” •

ven in the cool June morning, the black lava flow through the Newberry National Volcanic Monument was heating up. I was starting to sweat while leading a small band over razor-sharp rock and deep fissures in the volcanic landscape. Lava Butte, with its visitor center, roads and trails, loomed to the southeast and U.S. Highway 97 not far beyond it. Yet we traveled slowly through what seemed like wilderness, over

HIGH DESERT PULSE • SUMMER / FALL 2012

jagged terrain without trails, guided by the GPS device in the palm of my hand. It was one of my first trips geocaching, a sport that requires a healthy dose of brain and at times some brawn. It involves using longitude and latitude coordinates plugged into a GPS device to find a cache, an object large or small hidden in the wild. But what I was fast learning is geocaching can be about more than that. The GPS delivered us to an island in the lava, home to a handful of ancient junipers with gnarled, lichen-covered limbs and ponderosa pines standing as sentinels. Ahead lay the Cascades coated in white. It was obvious why this cache is named “Forest in the Flow.” The man who designed the cache, Bend resident Judson Brown, smiled as we experienced our “ah-ha” moment. This was definitely about the journey. “Look at that,” he said, appreciating the view. “It’s like a little garden in the lava. Most people don’t even know it’s out here.” Geocaching is a relatively new outdoor pursuit, and it’s perhaps one of the most versatile. As on this day, it can require miles of hiking over terrain guaranteed to bring on a sweat. Or it can be as mild as a stroll through a city park. Caches can be as big as an ammo can or as small as a button-size magnet stuck to a rail. They can include puzzles and riddles that would confound the Sphinx. Or they might be simple enough to charm young children. And geocaching can be enjoyed yearround, since caches are hidden everywhere from national forests to urban Bend to the desert. Getting into geocaching is as simple as

owning and learning how to operate a GPSenabled device. From there, just about the only limitation is enthusiasm. “I like doing the more adventurous ones,” Brown said. “Ones that take me to a place I’ve never been before, ones that are really beautiful, ones where I have something to figure out.”

A new pursuit Geocaching blossomed in the wake of a major development. On May 2, 2000, the U.S. government removed what is called “selective availability.” Blake Miller, a GPS expert who teaches courses for Central Oregon Community College Community Learning, said until then, the government had deliberately scrambled satellite signals. It did so to make GPS units less accurate for average citizens out of concern that the technology might be used for criminal activity. President Bill Clinton ordered selective availability removed as soon as the military developed ways to selectively block GPS transmissions in the event of a national security threat. The change improved GPS accuracy for the general public by tenfold overnight. Miller said it was the difference between accuracy within about 300 feet to about 50 feet. That same month, according to the dominant website for geocachers, Geocaching.com, Oregon resident Dave Ulmer wanted to test the new GPS accuracy. He hid a container in the woods outside Portland, including a logbook and pencil. He broadcasted the idea and container coordinates online. Within days several people had found it and reported back on their

Page 21

experiences. Soon others were replicating the experiment, hiding their own caches. Geocaching.com emerged by September of that year. Then there were 75 caches; now more than 1 million are hidden all over the world. The website has been the sport’s hub ever since. Participants use the site to find out about caches, report their experiences and relate the norms of the pastime to newcomers.

Getting started When getting going, the first step is to pick a cache at Geocaching.com. There are now nearly 10,000 caches hidden within 100 miles of Bend. Each cache has descriptions listed on Geocaching.com determined by its creator. One description characterizes the difficulty of the find and another the difficulty of the terrain. A third shows the size of the cache. There is also a map showing general location, a comment section for feedback from other geocachers and other pertinent information. The rules of geocaching are relatively simple: Don’t move the cache. Only place caches on land where you have permission. Don’t alter the landscape in any way. Share what you learn online with the geocaching community. There is an array of cache types out there. For a traditional cache, the coordinates provide the exact location of a container with at minimum a logbook to sign and date. Some larger containers also hold trinkets ranging from small toys to tools. Geocache culture allows for taking an item as long as it’s replaced with an item of equal or greater value. A nano- or micro-cache is a tiny container that holds only a logsheet. There are others: Multi-caches include several “waypoints” on the journey — spots to be found that offer coordinates of the next destination — before

Page 22

reaching the cache. Then there those that contain puzzles, riddles or math problems to solve to get the cache’s coordinates. Some caches can be found relatively quickly. It’s worth doing a few simple ones when starting out.

Searching the lava As we slowly moved through the lava, I reguarly stopped to shift my eyes between my feet and the GPS unit. But the device provides the most accurate data when moving, so my pauses would cause us to go in the wrong direction. Also, even the most expensive GPS device is only so good. As I sought one of the three waypoints on this adventure, the device told me I was getting warmer until I was about 20 feet away. Beyond that radius, it couldn’t pinpoint the destination. “That’s when geo-sense takes over,” Brown said, advising me to switch from using the device to using my senses. I thought about the clue — get to the base of a lone, large ponderosa pine — scanned the landscape and scrambled across the lava to the most likely spot. Brown, a math and science teacher at Seven Peaks School and longtime outdoor recreationist, went from geocaching novice to creating his own caches within a few years. He stumbled across geocaching online and decided to give it a try. After logging a number of caches, creating them seemed a natural extension. “One of the things that I like about it is it’s forced me to explore,” he said. “I get away from the crowds.” Since geocaching by design leads off the beaten path, Miller advised that people read their GPS device manuals and know how they work before heading out. Geocachers need to know the device well enough to get back to the car or trailhead, particularly if the most direct route is not possible due to

terrain or obstacles. “The key thing when you get a GPS is to get out and use it and develop that muscle memory,” he said. Geocachers also are urged to respect private property and to leave no trace on their outings. In fact, permission from the property owners, from private individuals to those responsible for public lands, is a requirement of creating a cache.

Enjoying the journey A geocache need not be in the wild, however. In fact, it can prompt a new perspective in a crowd. On a sunny day near Farewell Bend Park, Bend resident Jen Michaelson, her two sons, ages 16 and 11, and her dog climbed through brush toward the cliffs above the trail in search of a cache. Runners, bikers and dog walkers zipped by, but none saw this view of river and trees from 30 feet above. Michaelson said she always wears pants and sturdy shoes when geocaching, since the whole point is often to leave the trail behind. She also carries water, a spare GPS unit, extra batteries and a snake bite kit — which she has never used but considers essential. The Michaelsons go out as a family — she is presently attempting to seek a cache a day for an entire year. They have found caches embedded in rocks, fake bolts and magnets. Michaelson said she enjoys the challenge of a find. “Every once in a while you’re digging around and you can’t find it,” she said, “but you never give up.” And since people are constantly creating new ones, there is always a fresh pursuit. “We have been to some beautiful places geocaching,” she said. “It always leaves you excited.” •

Tech savvy Geocachers use Global Positioning Satellite, or GPS, technology to find objects with latitude and longitude coordinates. Each GPS device receives signals broadcast by satellites. A device needs signals from at least three satellites at a time to calculate its general location and four to get an accurate fix that includes altitude, time, longitude and latitude. A GPS device can range in price from $80 to $500. Some now come with geocaching-specific features. Also, some GPS-enabled smartphones and apps can

be used for geocaching. Several features to consider when looking to buy a GPS device include: • Base maps. A base map is a basic set of map data included with a GPS device, principally road maps of major highways and city streets. Various GPS device brands offer more detailed map data for a price. Buying detailed topographic maps is highly recommended by Geocaching.com. • Memory. Detailed maps can use a lot of memory on your device. Higher-end devices usually accept a memory card for additional storage.

• Channels. Multiple channels help the device find satellites more quickly and accurately. Most units today have 12 channels. • Interface. Many newer units have a USB port to make it easy to connect to your computer to download cache data. • Power source. Most units are powered by AA, AAA or lithium batteries. Some can plug into an external source, like a cigarette lighter. • Water-resistant. Look for a device that is at least water-resistant.

By the end of the year, the Bend surgeon had resigned from his job at Desert Orthopedics and committed to a five-year post teaching orthopedic surgery at a missionary hospital in Kenya. “We’ve always kind of had the idea that that was a possibility for us, and then kind of gradually, that urge got stronger and stronger, where I kind of felt I was in the wrong place,” Mike Mara said.

On the job | MISSION MEDICINE have 20 orthopedic surgeons in Bend,” Mike said. “I could go over there and work day and night and not make a dent. If we train Kenyans in orthopedic surgery, we can start to make a dent there.” Successful surgery requires a sterile operating environment, anesthesia and the proper equipment. The hospital may not be up to Western standards but it’s close, Mike said. “Sterility and anesthesia are nearly the equivalent of what we have here at St. Charles or the Bend Surgery Center,” he said. “The main limitations are senior leadership and equipment. It’s very much making do, MacGyvering, making the best of what you have.” The demand for care is overwhelming. Most of the people who come to the hospital are trauma patients. Traffic accidents are common, seat belts and air bags are not. Pedestrians, especially children, are frequently hit by cars. About 20 percent of his case load will be children with birth defects, a consequence of the nutritional challenges in the region. And because it’s a mission hospital, which turns away no one, the vast majority of patients will be poor. Kijabe does attract a fair amount of wealthier Kenyans as well, drawn to the high quality of care provided at the hospital or seeking care when the doctors or nurses at government-run hospitals go on strike. “I think the biggest challenge is going to be avoiding despair,” Mike said. “The problems are so bad and so insurmountable, if you go in with the idea that you’re going to fix everything, you’re going

to be crushed under the weight of it all. I think you have to be happy with small victories.” If the Maras had any doubts about their chosen path, they were dispelled by a chance encounter at Antioch Church in Bend. A fellow parishioner introduced the Maras to his son and daughter-in-law, who had just returned from Africa, where they had been working at the hospital in Kijabe. He, a dentist, and she, an obstetrician, were there with their two young children. “We just dove on them,” Mike said. “We pulled every detail from them.” Then a year ago, Mike went to Kijabe to meet the surgeons and the staff, and work there for two weeks. “He called me and said, ‘The only reason I’m coming home is you and the kids,’” Ann recalled. Their kids are equally excited about the trip. Michael has told his father he wants to get a spear for hunting. “What are you going to hunt?” Mike asked him. “Fruit,” he replied. Jane wants a pet giraffe. “They’ve grown up with the idea of moving, because they know that’s where Mummy and Daddy met and where they fell in love,” Ann, 39, said. “I think we’ve raised them with a sense of adventure.” The Maras’ colleagues in Bend are sad to see them leave, but know the opportunity to help the less fortunate will make them happy.

Hansen called Mike the “heart and soul” of Desert Orthopedics. “He leads with his heart, not his mind,” he said. “If the people were honest and willing on their side, there’s nothing Dr. Mara wouldn’t do for them.” Mike willingly gave up two days each month — and the payments that came along with that — to volunteer at the Volunteers in Medicine clinic in Bend. “We live off of people’s goodwill,” said Dr. Jim Ritzenthaler, co-medical director of the VIM clinic. “And Dr. Mara, as long as I’ve been here, has probably been one of our great contributors, especially given that his contributions were in the context of a full-time practice.” Dr. Randall Jacobs, an urgent-care physician with Bend Memorial Clinic and a close friend of the Maras, said he wasn’t surprised the Maras decided to move, although he was a little stunned to hear it was for five years. “They are motivated in two ways,” he explained. “One is just a heart to serve, for those that don’t have access to the resource that he can provide. And number two, they’re both very strong Christian people, and they have really resonated and accepted the call to go serve, and (they’re) giving up a lot of their potential personal things, like wealth and security.” Mike said his world view has changed a lot since he first became a physician. “I used to have a really fancy car, a fancy house. I went down that

road about as far as I can go down it,” he said. “It was all right, there was nothing wrong. But I knew there had to be more to life.” The Maras believe their good fortune, skills and ability to help people are blessings that come with responsibility. “My role is to steward those gifts. I don’t own those gifts. I don’t own the money. I don’t own the ability to do orthopedics,” Mike said. “I don’t feel like, ‘The great white doctor is here.’ It’s more like, ‘Wow, it’s really humbling to be the tip of the spear, to be able to make a difference.’” The organization that he will be working with in Kijabe requires them to raise the money they will need for day-to-day living expenses. They were not permitted to pay for any of the trip themselves, or even to book a flight until the money had been raised. “We’ve been fundraising since January and we have over 55 families who have come alongside, who are pledging a monthly amount,” Ann said. “Anywhere from, our lowest is $10 a month, to $1,000 a month.” Those families have pledged to support them not only financially but spiritually as well. The Maras have committed to being in Kijabe for five years and say they have no idea what they will do at the end of that time. “We don’t have a plan B yet,” Mike said. “We’ll just go and see what happens.” •

THE GREAT WHEEL DEBATE

BY HEIDI HAGEMEIER PHOTO BY PETE ERICKSON

he great wheel debate — long simmering among bike geeks — has made its way to the weekend warriors: Which to buy, 26 or 29? Twenty-six-inch wheels have been the standard for mountain bikes since Gary Fisher pedaled his cruiser off-road in the 1970s. But 29-inch wheels, in evolution for the past decade, have now come of age. Shops across the region are filled with new 29er mountain bikes. The best bike for you, experts say, depends on how you ride.

Want adrenaline? Go 26. Riding rocks, roots and tight descents? Travis Lucas, a former Mountain Bike World Cup mechanic and avid biker, says stick to the 26. The 26er is lighter, usually by a few pounds, and therefore more manueverable on technical trails. The shorter diameter also means the wheels are sturdier, which matters when taking big drops. “You get into technical kinds of rocky, slippery situations and you see those people

v s . walking their bikes down,” Lucas said of 29 riders. Another word continually pops up with the 26: Fast. Less weight means it starts and stops faster. “You’ll learn skills on a 26er that you can’t really learn on a 29er,” said Jeff Clausen, a biking aficionado who owns 26ers and a 29er. “I make it a point every season to go out on every bike once. I’m like, ‘Wow, this thing is like a hummingbird on cocaine.’”

Want all-in-one? Go 29.

Travis Lucas 26-inch rider:

“A 29 is great for getting from A to B fast. But a 26 is a lot more fun on those spots in between. It does wheelies, it’s more playful. I’d rather ride my bike than drive my bike.”

• HIGH DESERT PULSE

Those who own just one bike might want to make it a 29er. The smooth, less technical riding of Central Oregon lends itself to a 29er. The bike acts as if it has a bit more suspension, smoothing out obstacles. Compare rolling over a root with a skateboard wheel versus a truck tire — the smaller tire just can’t absorb as much shock. The 29er also makes for comfortable uphill climbs, as it grips trails well and doesn’t lose as much momentum on bumps and rocks. Clausen says the extra weight of a 29er need not be an issue, even though it entails a bit more exertion. “The average person can just downshift as long as you have a good selection of gears,” he said. And $600 to $2,000 can buy a decent front suspension 29er that can serve multiple purposes. “If you’re trying to use your one bike for more than one purpose — commute on your mountain bike and ride trails — I think it makes sense,” Lucas said. •

Mike, a 22-year-old student at the University of Oregon, said he has battled depression since he was in middle school. Talk therapy has helped, but Mike hopes to stop taking antidepressants someday. In June, Mike received transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy, one of several new treatments doctors are using as an alternative to drugs, at Samaritan Mental Health Outpatient Services in Corvallis. The therapy is delivered daily over 5-6 weeks. Each 40-minute session involves 3,000 magnetic pulses delivered to specific areas of the brain.

NEW TECHNIQUES

Beyond antidepressants Doctors go straight to the brain with new treatments BY ANNE AU R AND PHOTOS BY JOHN KLICKER

n a midweek afternoon in June, Mike, a 22-year-old college student from Eugene, reclined in what looked like a dentist’s chair. He dug an iPhone from his jeans pocket and held it on his thigh, settling in for his 18th treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation — magnetic pulses into his brain intended to treat major depression. Megan Hogland, the TMS technician at Samaritan Mental Health in Corvallis, secured a padded bar against the right side of Mike’s head to immobilize it. She aligned the casing of the machine’s magnetic coil directly over his dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — the left front part of his brain, thought to be involved with mood regulation. Then she activated the treatment from a computer screen. When the magnetic pulses started hammering on his skull, the device sounded like a machine gun. Mike wore earplugs to protect his hearing. Ten pulses clicked for four seconds. Then a silent, 26-second rest interval. Then the next 10-pulse series. This repeated for 40 minutes. “It’s like a woodpecker on your head,” said Mike, who preferred not to have his last name used. “Uncomfortable, but bearable.” TMS is a non-invasive therapy that doesn’t require the patient to use anesthesia or pain medications. The rapid-fire magnetic pulses feel like hot, deep zaps. They are not painful, but are intense and annoying. The stimulation can trigger twitches in the facial muscles or make a body sweat, especially the first time. It’s a relief when it’s over, Mike said. The Food and Drug Administration approved TMS in 2008 for the treatment of major depressive disorder in patients for whom antidepressant medications didn’t work. Samaritan Mental Health in Corvallis started providing the treatment in 2010 and is the only facility in Oregon to offer it. TMS is just one of a handful of cutting-edge approaches in the

HIGH DESERT PULSE • SUMMER / FALL 2012

evolving landscape of depression treatment, intended for patients who have severe, disabling depression that other treatments haven’t helped. Antidepressant medications are the front-line weapon against depression, along with psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, and in extreme cases, electroconvulsive therapy, which electrically induces seizures in the brain. But those methods are either only moderately effective or come with health risks and undesirable side effects.

Dissatisfaction with antidepressants In 2010, antidepressants were the second most commonly prescribed class of drugs in the U.S., according to IMS Health, a health-care information company. Antidepressants alter important neurotransmitters — chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine that brain cells use to communicate — that are associated with mood. Antidepressant use along with psychotherapy can cure many people, but there’s still a significant population for whom those treatments don’t work, according to Dr. George Keepers, chair of the Oregon Health & Science University psychiatry department. “Even if you do everything right with (antidepressants and psychotherapy) you have a large number of people … about 30 percent … who do not get over it,” Keepers said. “We’re not satisfied with how our current treatments work,” he said. Besides, antidepressants can bring their own set of problems. A group of researchers who examined previous studies on the benefits and effects of antidepressant medications concluded that their benefits don’t typically outweigh their risks. “We need to be much more cautious about the widespread use of these drugs,” said Paul Andrews, an evolutionary biologist at McMaster University in Canada and lead author of the article published

Page 31

Treating depression | NEW TECHNIQUES recently in the online journal Frontiers in Psychology. Studies have shown that antidepressants can create problems with digestion and sexual stimulation and function. They can also cause abnormal bleeding and stroke. Most people who take antidepressants experience side effects such as headaches, night sweats, nausea, agitation, dry mouth or constipation. Studies have shown associations between antidepressant use and higher rates of death than among non-users. Despite a growing dissatisfaction with antidepressants, their use has been steadily increasing. In the United States, doctors wrote about 264 million prescriptions for antidepressants in 2011, according to IMS Health.

What is depression? Major depression, also known as clinical depression or unipolar depression, goes beyond ordinary ups and downs, becoming a serious medical condition and health concern that interferes with someone’s ability to function in life. Experts believe that major depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental and psychological factors. It’s considered a disorder of the brain, and most theories suggest that neurotransmitter chemicals are out of balance in a depressed person. Keepers said that during episodes of depression, a brain functions differently. Researchers have measured a decrease in metabolic activity in various regions of the brain when a person is depressed. Medications, psychotherapy and electroconvulsive therapy can reverse those metabolic changes. Even the experts don’t definitively understand all the mechanisms behind depression, Keepers said. But it is known that a strong genetic predisposition coupled with stress or traumatic events can greatly increase a person’s risk, he said. People with one variation of the serotonin transporter gene, for example, are more prone to the development of depression under stress, said Keepers. A genetically predisposed person who lost a parent at a young age is more likely to develop depression than one who didn’t lose the parent. Absent the trauma or stress, that person’s risk might have matched the

Page 32

Tran scran ial magnetic stimulation therapy A modern and milder variant of electroconvulsive therapy, non-invasive TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain thought to be involved with mood regulation. A magnetic transmission penetrates the skull to a shallow depth in a focused area. It induces electrical currents through brain circuits to connected, deeper regions of the brain. The current activates a massive release of serotonin, dopamine and norephinephrine — neurotransmitters whose imbalances are linked to major depressive disorder. The outcome is similar to that of antidepressant medications, but to more speciic areas of the brain and without unwanted systemic efects of drugs. 1

He hurts all over, he said, and he carries with him a pervasive, intense feeling of being down. At 61, Hayes has spent most of his life feeling depressed and about 30 years actively trying to treat it. Medications and therapy have “knocked the edge off,” he said, but have never resolved it. Hayes’ life was probably a perfect storm for depression. He said many of his relatives have been diagnosed with major depression and bipolar disorder, which is characterized by more extreme mood swings. This suggests a genetic component. He also had a tough childhood in Texas, during which he

said bad things happened to him. He has post-traumatic stress disorder. He declined to provide specific details. “For me, I think depression is irreversible. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’s going to be a monkey on my back for the rest of my life,” he said. He has thought about suicide, and his adult sons have at times removed his guns from his home. Every now and then, when he’s in urgent need of a safe place, he checks himself into Sage View Psychiatric Center at St. Charles Bend. When told about transcranial magnetic stimulation, he said it sounded like something he might be willing to try. “I keep telling myself I should be able to overcome this, but I am acknowledging that I can’t on my own,” he said.

SUMMER / FALL 2012 • HIGH DESERT PULSE

Major depressive disorder: beyond the blues Clinically-diagnosed major depressive disorder, or major depression, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health, is characterized by a combination of symptoms that interfere with a person’s ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy oncepleasurable activities. About one in 10 adults, or 10 percent of adults in the United States, deals with depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Oregon’s rates are slightly lower, with between 7 percent and 8 percent of adults having it. It’s more common in women than in men. Most who experience it need treatment to heal.

Major depression, such as what Hayes experiences, is different than grief or sadness. “A significant part of what we see is grief and loss — loss of a loved one, loss of health function. That can lead to symptoms (of major depression),” said Brian Evans, a licensed psychologist with the St. Charles Sleep Center in Bend who specializes in mental health patients whose depression is a component of a medical illness. “It’s important to tease out: Is it grief? Or depression? That may affect treatment. We don’t want to medicalize a normal life process of grieving,” Grief doesn’t call for antidepressant medications or brain stimulation, but more likely, some kind of therapy to teach the coping skills required to process the grief. “Depressed people feel worthless, have awful self-esteem,” Evans said. “That’s not the case with grief. But unresolved grief can turn into full-on depression.”

Stimulating the brain The prevalence and severity of depression, coupled with dissatisfaction about medications available to treat it, has opened the door to new methods of treating the brain, an electrochemical organ. Some of the newer approaches — TMS, vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation — are gentler derivatives of their predecessor, electroconvulsive therapy, which has been used for decades. Brain stimulation techniques, generally speaking, produce a massive release of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine into the brain. “When you stimulate the brain electrically — with a big seizure or a milder one over a longer period of time — you are causing the neurons in the brain to do a bunch of things, one of which is to produce a lot of neurotransmitters all at once,” Keepers said. The result is similar to that of antidepressant medications, but more focused. Electroconvulsive therapy, a well-tested treatment, comes with a high success rate — 70 to 80 percent — but also with some harsh side effects. It was first developed in 1938. Known as “shock” therapy, it garnered a negative reputation, but the procedure has improved

Treating depression | NEW TECHNIQUES over the years and is comparatively effective in quickly improving depression. In electroconvulsive therapy, a patient is both sedated and given a muscle relaxant while electrical currents pass through electrodes on the head, causing a seizure in the brain that typically lasts less than a minute. Patients undergo this treatment about three times a week for a couple of weeks. But side effects can include severe memory loss, headaches, upset stomach and muscle aches. Transcranial magnetic stimulation, such as that performed at Samaritan in Corvallis, is a modern variant of electroconvulsive therapy, but without the seizure, the side effects, hospitalization or anesthesia, Keepers said. Instead of electrical currents, magnetic pulses penetrate to a shallow depth and induce an electrical current in the brain. The stimulation goes to a more specific region than in electroconvulsive therapy. Only 11 patients have completed the treatment protocol — five to six weeks of daily, 40-minute sessions — of TMS treatment at Samaritan. Three more people were in treatment this summer. Dr. Scott Babe, who specializes in general psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine for Samaritan Health Services and is the main doctor in Oregon now providing transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy, said he believes TMS is underused because most insurance companies still consider it experimental and won’t pay for it. Out of pocket, it costs $9,085 for five weeks, and for those who need a sixth week, an

extra $1,750. Mike said he was lucky — his parents’ insurance helped. He stumbled upon TMS while searching the Internet for an alternative to antidepressant drugs, which hadn’t eradicated his depression and came with undesirable side effects. He was unwilling to try electroconvulsive therapy because of its potential to erase memory. So he spent several weeks this summer driving between Eugene and Corvallis daily for the treatment. It was worth it, he said, “because depression affects the whole realm of life and it sucks having it. You’ll go to such lengths (to resolve it).” Originally from Alaska, Mike said he’s felt depression and indifference since middle school. “I didn’t want to do much,” he said. “I had no ambition, motivation.” It’s become more severe recently, since he’s been in college. It degenerates his mood and shatters his attention span. When it’s really bad, his memory falters. The effects of TMS are cumulative. The treatment takes time. About halfway into Mike’s treatment, family members told him his mood seemed better. As he faced finals in June, he said he felt more confident than usual. Once completed, he said finals had gone well. After the multi-week treatment protocol ended, Mike said, “TMS helped and I feel much better.” Since the treatment is so new, long-term effects are yet unknown.

Studies on TMS suggest that it’s as effective as antidepressants, said Babe. As with patients who first try a new antidepressant, TMS patients have about a 30 percent chance of being cured and about a 50 percent chance of some measure of improvement, he said.

Oth er new techniques Another rarely used treatment is called vagus nerve stimulation. It is performed at OHSU. A device called a pulse generator is surgically implanted under the skin in the upper left chest. A wire connects the generator to the vagus nerve, which runs from the brainstem through the neck, down the side of the chest and to the abdomen. The generator sends continual, regular, brief electrical pulses to the nerve, which reaches areas of the brain that control mood, sleep and more. Originally developed to treat epilepsy,

vagus nerve stimulation was found to alter neurotransmitters associated with depressive symptoms. In 2005, the FDA approved it to treat patients who had severe and recurring depression that hadn’t been helped by other treatments. It remains controversial, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health, because studies on its effectiveness have been mixed. Some insurance companies, such as Regence BlueCross BlueShield, consider it “investigational” and not medically necessary for the treatment of depression, and therefore don’t cover it. The cost of the device and its implantation can be around $25,000. OHSU was one site of a big study on the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation. About 25 “very sick patients,” the type for whom electroconvulsive therapy was not effective, got implants several years ago, Keepers said. About a quarter of the patients improved dramatically, he said. This therapy takes time to work. “It’s not a life-saving treatment for someone who is suicidal,” he said. And it has drawbacks; because the device affects a nerve in the neck, it can cause discomfort in the neck or throat, hoarseness and breathing and swallowing problems. Another technique is deep brain stimulation, in which electrodes are surgically implanted in the brain and controlled by a generator implanted in the chest. It works somewhat like a pacemaker, except instead

of sending pulses to the heart, the currents hit small, targeted areas in the brain that are dysfunctional in depression and mood disorders. Deep brain stimulation is used on an experimental basis only and is the subject of current trials. Some small trials have shown promising results, and researchers are hopeful that this might be something that can help people for whom other treatments have failed. Scientists believe that the pulses help “reset” malfunctioning brain areas, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. As with any type of brain surgery, it’s risky. There’s a chance of bleeding in the brain, or stroke or infection. The stimulation can create disorientation, unwanted mood changes or sleeping problems. It’s likely that other side effects haven’t yet been identified, and long-term benefits and side effects are unknown.

They are controlled by a generator implanted in the chest. Stimulation is Electrode continuous and its frequency and level is customized to the Probe individual.

WELL-CHILD CHECKUPS

Kristi Nix, a pediatrician with Mosaic Medical in Bend, gives Dakota House, 7, a regular well-child checkup in June.

Regular maintenance Assessing development from sleep to sociability, wellness visits provide a safety net for kids and a sense of security for their parents BY ANNE AURAND PH O TO BY ANDY TULLIS

arring illness or injury, many children stop seeing their pediatricians regularly when they no longer need routine vaccines, around age 6. “With older kids, parents can see they’re running around and know they can tell you when things are wrong. So parents are less concerned. And kids get busy. Well-child checkups get low on the list,” said Kristi Nix, a pediatrician with Mosaic Medical in Bend. But local pediatricians and national organizations recommend school-aged children continue to visit a health-care provider regularly to monitor everything from physical health to social development.

Well-child checkups A well-child checkup is a visit to a doctor in the absence of an illness or injury. Such visits provide opportunities for doctors to screen

Page 36

for potential problems that a parent might not realize exist, such as vision problems, heart murmurs and high cholesterol. The recommended frequency of well-child visits varies from clinic to clinic, but generally, children without underlying health problems should go annually between ages 2 and 5 and at least every other year during grade school. Visits should be annual again during puberty and adolescence, when children experience more physical, emotional and social changes, according to Kim Wollmuth, a pediatrician at Central Oregon Pediatric Associates. At well-child visits, doctors can screen for anxiety and depression, and discuss sleep habits, healthy eating, school performance and risks for sports injuries. Immunizations get updated. School-aged kids may be checked for cholesterol levels, and adolescent girls may need to be checked for anemia after menstruation begins. Doctors review growth and development over time. Obesity and weight-related complications are more prevalent these days, and they start young. Nix said she sees kids as young as 4 who

Recommended checkup schedule The American Academy of Pediatrics developed this ambitious “Bright Futures” guideline, considered a gold standard for health supervision. In the past, many insurance companies covered one checkup every two years for school-aged children and teens. Newer policies are now required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to cover checkups according to this preventive health care schedule, said Kim Wollmuth, a pediatrian at Central Oregon Pediatric Associates. A well-child checkup includes: l To be performed J Risk assessment to be performed, action to follow if positive Age

are at risk for high cholesterol and diabetes. In Central Oregon, 24 percent of kids are overweight by eighth grade, with 10 percent of them falling into the obese category, Nix said. “Obesity sneaks up on families quietly,” she said. “Our perception of how kids should look has changed so we don’t often look at an at-risk kid and feel like he’s got a weight problem. We are all used to looking at heavy kids.” Ongoing height and weight checks are important, she said. But another less tangible benefit of regular checkups, both pediatricians said, is establishing a relationship with a doctor. “If a child comes in for annual visits, they have less anxiety and more comfort with doctors, so when I start asking about sex and drugs in adolescence, there is at least an expectation that we’ll go over issues like that. I feel like that enhances adolescent care,” Nix said. Bend mom Rachel Schaedler takes her six children, who range in age from 15 months to 19 years, for annual checkups to see how much they’ve grown and if everything is on track. “I just think it’s important. You might find something,” she said. For example, her 13-year-old daughter Larissa Maguire had pain and swelling in her right knee one day when she was running. She happened to have a well-child checkup scheduled at Mosaic Medical the next day, so Schaedler suggested Larissa talk to a doctor about it there. Turned out it was a common knee condition that goes away with time. “It’s always nice to know, ‘Oh, that’s why,’” Schaedler said. She was

relieved it wasn’t an injury and didn’t need treatment.

Sports physicals Well-child checkups are more comprehensive than sports physicals, which are required biannually for children from seventh grade up who join extracurricular school sports programs. Sports physicals require a medical provider to clear the child to play a sport after examining the patient’s cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health. But sports physicals are not a substitute for more inclusive wellchild checks, which delve deeper than the question of the child’s ability to play, Wollmuth said. Some athletes participate in convenient, mass sports physical clinics that rotate kids through various health stations, Wollmuth said. Screening questions are asked about prior injuries, asthma, fainting, concussions, seizures and family history of heart disease or sudden death. Sometimes orthopedic and cardiac care specialists are involved. But, she said, this method provides a snapshot in time. Care providers don’t usually have a patient’s records or growth charts to review. For those who get routine well-child checks, making an additional sports physical appointment is not necessary. “When you get a wellchild check, ask for a sports physical as part of it,” Nix said. “It’s just a form to fill out. We’ve done everything we need to for sports physical in a well-child checkup. Bring a form or make sure we have it.” •

Cover story | WHY RESEARCH IS WRONG Continued from Page 13 public. In that report, you see a long list of different strategies that can be used to corrupt the evidence base,” said Dr. Mark Helfand, director of the Oregon EvidenceBased Practice Center and editor of the journal Medical Decision Making. “But we have this problem that we don’t know how common those are and we don’t know when they’re there or not, so they undermine confidence in virtually all of the literature.” Helfand said there is often little a journal can do to prevent researchers from gaming the system. A research article will typically go through multiple layers of review before a journal will publish it, including the peer-review process, where other experts review the study looking for methodological flaws. “The budget of a journal like the Annals of Internal Medicine probably has $1 million a year in it that can be used for higher-level editorial vigilance,” Helfand said. “And that’s the budget of 10 to 15 other journals combined.” Journal editors cannot know whether authors are holding back on research that shows no effect, submitting only those studies that support the intervention, or whether they changed their study protocols midway through to have their intended research findings match the data. “Somebody can get a broker to look at 20, 30 data sets and find the one that’s going to be the most agreeable to the hypothesis,” Helfand said. “They can actually ask people who study the data sets to help them find a match to the data set that they’re more likely to get a positive result in.” Helfand’s journal has a reputation for a very demanding peer review process, because it deals with issues of how data can inform clinical practice. The editors frequently send submissions back to authors asking them to do additional work. Yet authors know they can get the article published as-is at a journal with less-demanding standards. “There are so many models now for getting things out into journals, including some models that border on vanity press,” Helfand said. “We’re competing

Class 1C antiarrythmatics and CAST In the 1970s, doctors noticed that if patients having heart attacks had a certain type of rhythm disturbance, they were more prone to dying. A new class of drugs called Class 1C antiarrythmatics were developed to stop those abnormal rhythms. The flaw: Doctors believed these drugs helped because they were successful in altering heart rhythms, but they really didn’t know whether the treatment saved lives. Once the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial was conducted, it became clear that the treatment increased the risk of death. The case study is widely cited as a key driver in the push for evidence-based medicine.

now in an environment where at a lot of journals, if anyone decides to look at that paper, it’s going to get published.” Getting research published helps residents get fellowships, fellows get faculty positions and faculty get more funding. “We live in a world where there is incentive at every step of training for people to produce marginal research,” Prasad said. “There’s 162,000 journals out there, so crappy science is going to get published somewhere. They have to fill their pages.” The vetting that journals do may help to categorize the reliability of results. Authors with better studies may shoot for publication in the top journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine or the Journal of the American Medical Association. If they can’t get them published there, they try for less prestigious publications. “There’s a big filter,” said Dr. Christine Laine, editor of the Annals of Internal Medicine. “We’re only publishing 6 to 8 percent of the original research articles that we get. But the large majority of papers we reject do get published somewhere.” Laine said she believes that misconduct by researchers, such as that described in the Neurontin case, contributes only a small portion to the problem of unreliability of research. In some cases, researchers might simply be so enthusiastic about their findings that they overlook methodological flaws or oversell the significance of their findings. “I think what the public doesn’t understand is that there are very few

Cover story | WHY MOST MEDICAL RESEARCH IS WRONG single studies, even if they’re large randomized controlled trials, that should in an instant change practice,” she said. “You have to sort of proceed with caution before you’re going to try this at home, so to speak.” Single studies may deal with a very specific subgroup of patients or may work because all the parameters can be tightly controlled in a research setting. Out in the real world, the findings may not be as broadly applicable. And with the growing recognition of the unreliability of medical research, physicians are becoming much more hesitant to change practice on the basis of single study. It leaves practicing physicians in the tenuous position of knowing that what is considered sound practice one day could be overturned the next. Dr. Bruce McLellan, an interventional cardiologist with Heart Center Cardiology in Bend, said that the COURAGE reversal, for example, had less of an impact in Bend because local cardiologists hadn’t been as quick to implant stents in patients with stable coronary disease. “What I saw when I was in fellowship, patients would come in and if they had a reasonably good story for angina, they went straight to the cath lab,” he said. “It made me really appreciate my partners and the practice in Bend because we all try to follow guideline-based medicine.” At the same time, McLellan can recall plenty of cases where established medical practice turned out to be wrong. Three decades ago, he said, the drug digoxin was considered standard treatment for atrial fibrillation. Now doctors know that the heart will return to normal rhythms on its own just as often as with the drug. “If we go back 10 or 15 years, did we have good data to say that we were saving lots of lives by raising HDL significantly? No, we really didn’t have that,” McLellan said. “It was scientifically reasonable, and it was low risk for the patient, and then later, information comes out and you find out that it didn’t work.” He believes that may just be the way medicine must evolve; better information, better research contantly improving physicians’ understanding of the best way to treat patients.

Clutching at flaws “I’m OK with that. That’s the progression of medicine,” he said. “And that’s what keeps it interesting.” Clinicians who are working to implement the findings of medical research into recommendations of how to treat patients are now conducting systematic reviews. Rather than basing a decision on a single study or even an accounting of how studies support or refute a finding, systematic reviews gauge the reliability of the evidence. “A systematic review evaluates the quality of the individual studies, sees whether or not they can be combined to look at a treatment effect or an effect’s size, so that enables someone to get a better appreciation of what a body of literature about a specific question can tell us,” said Dr. Jean Slutsky, director of the Center for Outcomes and Evidence at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a federal agency whose mission is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness of health care. “Oftentimes that’s more valuable than looking at individual studies alone.” Nonetheless, it’s often difficult for researchers to know whether they’re looking at the entire picture or not. Medical journals suffer from both reporting bias — where researchers don’t bother to report the studies that don’t support their case — and from publication bias — where journals want to publish new and exciting

breakthroughs, not the mundane studies that show no effect. When researchers published an independent systematic review of the effectiveness of Neurontin for treating pain, one of the off-label uses the company got caught promoting, the researchers concluded it was effective based on the findings published at the time. It was only after the lawsuit that the reviewers determined the company was stacking the deck. There’s no way to tell how many other systematic reviews are based on similarly flawed data. “The experience over the last 15 years with one episode after another of finding out that evidence that we were relying on is not everything that should be there means that sort of narrow reliance on the published literature can’t be trusted,” Helfand said. “This presents a very big problem for evidence-based medicine.” Laine acknowledges that a publication bias may exist, that journals are more likely to publish eye-popping sensational conclusions than the systematic reviews that represent a rehashing of past research. But she also maintains that same standard should apply to critics of medical research, such as Ioannidis. “There’s a certain amount of sensationalism in being able to publish studies that say ‘It’s all wrong,’ too,” Laine said. “So I think you have to have balance of both sides.” •

Ideally when better medical research trumps flawed findings, doctors will quickly abandon the discredited treatments. But studies suggest doctors tend to stick to what they believed was true, despite evidence to the contrary. Dr. John Ioannidis, an expert in evaluating medical research, looked at three findings from observational studies: that vitamin E protects against heart disease, that beta-carotene protects against cancer and that hormone replacement prevents Alzheimer’s disease. All three garnered wide attention after they were published and all three were later refuted by randomized controlled trials. Nonetheless, doctors continued to cite, even defend, the refuted research for years. Eight years after it was disproved, half of the published articles on vitamin E still claimed the vitamin protected against heart disease. A decade after the beta-carotene benefit for cancer prevention was debunked, few studies still cited the original evidence supporting a protective effect. Instead, articles that claimed the treatment was effective simply didn’t mention the contradicting study. Researchers continued to argue that estrogen could prevent Alzheimer’s disease three years after a randomized controlled trial showed no benefit. “We encountered almost any source of bias, genuine diversity, and biological reasoning invoked to defend the original observations,” Ioannidis wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2007. “While some or even many of these counterarguments may be valid, this is also consistent with a belief that is defended at all cost.”

Different forms of depression Psychotic depression: Severe depression plus some form of psychosis, delusions or hallucinations. Postpartum depression: 10 to 15 percent of women experience this after giving birth, when hormonal and physical changes pile on top of the overwhelming responsibility of caring for a new baby. Seasonal affective disorder: Characterized by winter onset, when there is less natural sunlight. Bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive illness: Characterized by cycling mood changes, from extreme highs to extreme lows.

time, said Gerard Sanacora, director of the Yale Depression Research Program and a professor of psychiatry at Yale University. In clinical trials that study its effects on depression, about one-quarter of that amount of ketamine — .5 milligrams — is injected over a 40-minute period. The response is almost immediate. The drug has produced a mood-altering effect within hours of injection, although relief is often temporary. Ketamine infusions are currently experimental and used only as a “rescue” treatment, Keepers said. A pain specialist in Oregon has treated patients this way, although Keepers would not say who or where. “The drug is used in anesthesia frequently but not approved for depression. Some evidence supports it but we haven’t seen longterm studies,” Keepers said. How does it work on the brain? “We really don’t know. It’s a different chemical system in the brain,” he said. “What the antidepressant effect is coming from we don’t know.

An alteration of consciousness? The intoxication it produces? Or a fundamental neurochemical of the drug?” What is known is that ketamine works on the glutamate system in the brain — a different set of neurotransmitters than the serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine targeted by other treatments, said Sanacora. It appears to act on a specific glutamate receptor, the NMDA receptor. He said 60 to 80 percent of the brain’s neurons use glutamate as the primary neurotransmitter. It’s difficult to develop drugs for this system because if something were to go wrong, the effects would be huge. Too much could cause seizures or an undesired anesthesia effect, he said. There’s still much to learn about how the drug works. “We don’t think it’s just working on the glutamate system,” Sanacora said. “It also seems to kick off another response that has some benefit. The drug itself is gone from the body in a number of hours, yet the bene-

Depression symptoms to watch out for fits seem to last longer … days to a month.” Sanacora said it would be dangerous to try to buy ketamine on the street and selfadminister outside of a medically supervised situation. Too much could kill a person. It’s a similar anesthetic to the drug that was found to have killed pop star Michael Jackson. Ketamine is one of several drugs being researched. Others, by names such as AZD 6765 and CP 101606, may not cause the same level of perceptual alterations as ketamine — the very effects that make it prime for abuse as a street drug. Another drug that targets the glutamate system, riluzole, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of Lou Gehrig’s syndrome and is also being studied as a treatment for depression and anxiety. “These are not miracle cures. They look extremely interesting but there’s so much more research that needs to be done before they are taken,” Sanacora said. (Patients interested in ongoing trials can visit clinicaltrials.gov.) Researchers don’t know which drug will be “the one,” but all this work gives new direction

to the pharmacology of depression. Results from ongoing trials will be available in a couple of years, he said. A couple of years after that, there may be another new approach to medicating depression.

Non-medical alternatives There are many theories and disagreements about what creates and what resolves depression, said Evans, the psychologist from St. Charles. In his experience, cognitive behavioral therapy — examining and retraining thinking patterns — has good outcomes, and medications can help some people. But the best improvements come from people who are ready to put in time and effort, he said. For example: •Exercise. Evans is not the only local psychologist who believes physical exercise should be a primary treatment for depression. “Physical activity can treat insomnia and chronic pain, which can create depression. Sleep and exercise is where I start,” Evans said. Physical activity was associated with

don’t emphasize it. He can’t explain why. Perhaps because “we tend to over-complicate things,” he said. “It’s well accepted but not well applied.” •Meditation. The practice is also becoming a primary approach, Evans said. Medical professionals “have packaged a 2,500-year-old pschyo-technology” into something Western patients can digest. Used in many hospitals, it might be called “mindfulness-based stress reduction” and include meditation, yoga or tai chi. “It has wonderful results in treating real depression. This is a hot thing. It’s been gaining traction in the last five years,” Evans said. • Light therapy. “One of best, evidence-based treatments that is relatively unknown but effective is light therapy,” Evans said. “It’s cheap, effective and safe.” (But it’s not always recommended for bi-polar disorder, he said.) Light therapy boxes — which a person sits in front of for at least a half-hour every morning — can be found at big box stores and online for under $200. Light therapy boxes should be designed specifically for treating seasonal affective disorder, known as SAD, a form of depression common in winter. They typically use fluorescent, incandescent or lightemitting diode (LED) bulbs. “A combination of light therapy, exercise, diet and sleep usually makes a significant dent in people’s levels of depression,” Evans said. •

Life expectancy is an average for the population, and is brought down by a small number of early deaths, including infant mortality and accidental deaths of teens and young adults. Once people survive those early threats, they are likely to live into their 80s. In 2009, 490,000 Americans died in their 70s. More than a million died at age 80 or above. 3.

A PERSONAL ESSAY

Running with dad BY DAVID JASPER

PETE ERICKSON

David Jasper is a features reporter at The Bulletin. Below, he’s seen at a late 1970s race in Miami with his father, Larry Jasper.

mong my earliest memories is one where I’m running with my father. I’m maybe 7, he’s in his early 40s. We’re running alongside a canal in a field near our Miami home. Running seemed to be something anyone could do, even me. Soon, I had my own pair of Nikes and was running regularly, mostly because my dad was a runner. What boy that age doesn’t want to be right by his dad’s side, doing what he’s doing? He started running in the early ’60s, long before the jogging boom. I don’t know why he started, and I can’t ask now. He died in 2010. He ran for four decades, until he became too weak from cancer. Back when we ran together, he’d often run ahead to get in more of a workout — bye, Dad! — then double back. I was always relieved to see him return. When we neared home, he’d say, “Ready to pour it on?” and we’d sprint by the last few houses before ours. I had no idea what I was doing, but I’d read something about the value of stretching, so I stretched. Thus he nicknamed me “Stretch.” I soon ran the first of many 10Ks. Dad usually started the races with me. After a mile or so, he’d take off at his own pace — bye, Dad! — and I wouldn’t see him again until the finish line. He ran the Orange Bowl Marathon annually and did a few ultramarathons, including a 62-miler, and one in which runners circled an outdoor track for 24 hours. I ran two half-marathons. I can’t remember the first, but the second left more of an impression — I came in dead last. The worst of it was, I’d even cheated, shaving a short distance off by turning one block before the official turnaround. I thought I was so far behind it’d be just Dad waiting at the finish, but then I heard an announcer say my name over a loudspeaker. To my surprise, horror and guilt, there was still a crowd around, and everyone was cheering for me. I didn’t race much after that. Around 1980, I dropped out of a too-hot summer 10K. I ran a last one in 1983, just to see if I still could. It was staged at a mall built over the field where I’d first run with my dad.

Page 54

But by then, I’d swapped Nikes for Vans, running for skateboarding. If Dad was disappointed, he never let on. Growing up, my friends and I thought he looked like Tarzan. He’d always been a tan and fit firefighter, but in the early ’90s he began a losing battle with basal cell carcinoma. By 2000, he lost control of half his face. In 2003, he lost an ear. When the cancer returned, Dad didn’t want more radiation. It spread to his other organs. He slowly wasted away, taking several bad falls in the process. He kept running for a while, until he took a spill off a sidewalk. That was the end of running for him. He’d often sit doubled over, which he said eased the chronic shoulder pain from that fall. One visit home, I drove the car while he sat hunched in the passenger seat. I reached over to give an encouraging pat on his once-muscled shoulder. The phrase “skin and bones” gained new meaning. Before he died, he wrote down stories from his life, including an anecdote about how, even in his later years, he loved to take off his shoes and run barefoot through grass. On the flight home from his funeral, I began reading “Born to Run,” a book about how we as a species are truly built to run. I’d been right as a boy: Anyone can run, and probably should. Inspired, I started running a bit during daily walks with the dog. Over time, some 35 years after I first ran with my dad, the dormant runner in me re-emerged. I now run 2-4 miles several times a week, farther some weekends. Often during runs, my thoughts turn to my dad. Maybe I’m just more aware of his influence, or it’s the endorphins talking, but it feels as if I’ve somehow erased the distance between us, as if he knows I’m running again. The truth is I’ll never again see him running back toward me. Yet by running, something that was so important to him, I feel closer to him anyway. I pick up the pace as I head for home. And when I reach the corner, I always pour it on past the last few houses. Bye, Dad.
