Health plan enrollment far below estimates By Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Susanne Craig New Yorh Times News Service

WASHINGTON — A little more than 106,000 people picked health plans in the first month of open enrollment through the state and federalinsurancemarketplaces established by the Affordable nSide Care Act, • Democrats President changing Barack tunes,A4 Obama's • Qregon's health secretary said site iags, Wednesday B3 — a fraction

tial estimate for enrollment for that period. Only about a fourth of the new enrollees — 26,794 — signed up through the problem-plagued federal exchange, HealthCare.gov, accordingtofiguresreleased by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A much larger number signed up through the 14 state-run marketplaces. The long-awaited figures, releasedby Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary ofhealth and human services, became instant fodder for the continuingpolitical battle over Obama's signature legislative initiative. As nervous Democrats on Capitol Hill threatened to introduce legislation alteringthe law, Republicans called the new numbers dismal and cited them as further proof that the programwas a "trainwreck."

tures. On Wednesday, two of those ballots were counted, and both were "yes" votes. "We still have to wait until Friday at 5," said County Clerk Kathy Marston. "There are two more ballots out there that belong to the Culver School District, and we have to wait and give those people until Friday at 5 to verify their signatures or sign their ballots." With a current count of 590 "yes" votes to 585 "no" votes, the remaining votes can't tip the scales, but they could trigger a recount. Any tally that is within three votes will lead to a hand recount. Marston said that this vote was the closest she's ever seen. Culver Schools Superintendent Stefanie Garber said she was elated by the news. "I just don't even know what to do with myself," she said. "It's sort of surrealafter four years of incredibly hard work to have it work out in a positive, and potentially we don't need to do this again (in) 15 years." The bond package will fund improvements to heating, air conditioning, ventilation, electrical systems and security measures. The district will also add classrooms to the district's elementary, middle and high schools, and all three will be brought into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. "I'm just so thrilled that this will be our last winter where it's freezing or sweltering depending on what classroom you are in," Gar-

WASHINGTON — Concerned onion growers in Eastern Oregon are trying to get the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reconsider its newly proposed standardsforacceptable amounts of E. coli bacteria in irrigation water. In January, the Food and Drug Administration released more than 1,200 pages of new regulations for how fresh produce should be grown, harvested, packed and stored. One of these regulations concerned the bacteria Escherichia coli, better known as E. coli, which can be a source of foodborne illness, often through tainted meat. The problem, say some farmers in the Pacific Northwest, is that the rules are one-size-fits-all and don't take into consideration the differences between crops and their associated risks.

Crawford is far from alone: About 15 percent of Americans older than 18 don't use the Internet, according to a study releasedin September by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. An additional 9 percent use it only outside the home. They make up a shrinking, but not insignificant, segment of the population. And the gap between them and our increas-

ingly digitized society is growing wider every day. "There is a group of Americans being left behind as technology advances without them," Lawrence Strickling, head of the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, told an audience at the Brookings Institution recently.

TACLOBAN, P h i l ippines — A run-down, single-story building with filthy floors at Tacloban's ruined airport has become the area's main medical center for victims of last week's p owerful t y p h oon. It has little medicine, virtually no facilities and very few doctors. What it is not short of are patients. Hundreds of injured people, pregnant w o men, c h i ldren and the elderly have poured into the squat, white building behind the control tower since Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the eastern Philippines on Friday, killing t h ousands. D octors who have been dealing with cuts, fractures and pregnancy' complications said Wednesday they soon expect to be treating more seriousproblems such as pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea and infections. The medical woes add to the daunting tasks for authorities, including dealing with looters and clearing the bottlenecks holding up thousands of tons of aid material from coming in.

IFBq BtiBCkS —A series of bomb blasts and gunfire attacks swept Iraq on Wednesday, mostly targeting Shiites who were marking one of their holiest religious events.

number of casualties was in Baquba, north of Baghdad, as a group of Shiite pilgrims beganmarking Ashura, the solemn religious commemoration of the martyrdom of lmam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.

WASHINGTON — J a n et Yellen plans to d efend the Federal Reserve's stimulus program and communication efforts today during a Senate hearing on her nomination to lead the central bank, according to her prepared remarks. In her t e stimony, Yellen characterizedthe economy as "significantly stronger" than it was when the recession began six years ago and said the recovery "continues to improve." She pointed to the turnaround in housing and strong auto sales as bright spots but added that the nation's stubbornly high unemployment rate indicates "a labor market and economy performing far short of their potential." There is heated debate over whether the recovery's gains can be sustained — and how involved the Fed should be in propping them up. In her testimony, Yellen argued that though the economy is on the mend, it is not ready to stand on its own. "I believe that supporting the recovery today is the surest path to returning to a more normal approach to monetary policy," she said. Her testimony before the Senate banking committee will be the first substantive remarks Yellen has made since she was nominated for the top job at the nation's central bank. Currently the No. 2 at the Fed, Yellen has been astalwart supporter of the Fed's easy-money policies and led the effort to publicly establish a 2 percent goal for inflation. Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman, helped usher in an era of unprecedented openness at the historically secretive institution. Yellen said that she plans to continue that work if confirmed. "I strongly believe that mon-

business leaders onCentral Oregon's economy,C6 etary policy is most effective when the public understands what the Fed is trying to do and how it plans to do it," she said in her statement. Yellen said the Fed has made progress in strengthening its regulation of banks. She also obliquelyacknowledged concerns that the Fed's stimulus efforts could have the unintended consequence of destabilizing the financial system. T he central b a n k " h a s sharpened its focus on financial stability and is taking that goal into consideration when carrying out its responsibilities for monetary policy," she said. Lawmakers are likelyto grill her about the expanded role the Fed has taken in the wake of the financial crisis. Investors will be parsing her comments for hints of when the Fed might scale back its stimulus effort of $85 billion a month and its commitment to keeping shortterm interest rates near zero. Analysts do not anticipate either group will get satisfactory answers. "We do not expect Yellen to express strong policy opinions in her hearing, as any hint could both hurt her chances of confirmation and unnecessarily rattle financial markets," said Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist for T D S ecurities. "We expect Yellen to take a largely m i ddling a p proach, volunteering little we do not already know about her views." In a statement, Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., heralded Yellen's track recordof raising alarms about a potential bubble in housingprices before the recession. "Dr. Yellen ha s p r oven

through her extensive and impressiverecord in public service and academia that she is most qualified to be the next chair ofthe Federal Reserve," Johnson said. A committee vote on Yellen is not expected today, but her nomination is almost certain to be sent to the full Senate for confirmation.

Paleontologists led by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the University of Southern California discovered th e p r e v iously undescribed sister species to the modern snow leopard while on a 2010 expedition to Tibet. Seven specimens from three individuals range in age from 4.1 million to 5.9 million years old — dialing back the clock on big cat evolution by as much as 2 million years, according to the paper, published online Tuesday in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

The town had a population of 16 residents as of the 2010 census, making a p o l itical takeover possible with only a handful of new residents — which Cobb had called for in anannouncement made on a supremacist message board in May 2012. "For s tarters, w e c o u l d declare a Mexican illegal invaders and Israeli Mossad/ IDF spies no-go zone," Cobb wrote in the announcement, adding that he h oped new residents would always fly at least one "racialist" banner, such as a Nazi flag. "If leftist journalists or antis come and try to make trouble, they just might break one of our local ordinances and would have to be arrested by our town constable. See'?" Cobb's plans have since run awry of anti-supremacy activists across the state and of local health officials who have targeted Cobb's rund own pr operties fo r c o d e violations. Bobby Harper, a black resident in Leith, told the Tribune he thought Cobb's DNA results were hilarious. "I knew there was one other black person in town," Harper told the newspaper. "Is he going to want to kick his own self out of town and discriminate against himself?"

Microbial ancestor found, and it indicatesEarth had asmelly past By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

W ASHINGTON — W h a t may be the oldest complete fossil on Earth paints a smelly but colorful picture of our microbial ancestors from nearly 3.5 billion years ago. The fossil is the remains of what once was a purple-andgreen slimy, smelly mat of single-cell microbes that worked, livedand even communicated together in what is an awful lot like a prehistoric microscopic society. Nora Noffke of Old Dominion University in Virginia found the remnants of this life in sandstone rock in western Australia. This is likely an ancestor of

ours, researchers said. This tiny f o ssilized mat, a bout one-third of a n i n c h thick, would be about 300 million years older than previous complete ancient fossils and about the same age as less complete and still debatable fossils, said study co-author Robert Hazen, a mineralogist at the C arnegie Institution of Science in W a shington. He said life on the mat probably had turned sunlight into energy, but unlike life now,

Industry takesaim at ethanol investigation By Dina Cappieiio and Matt Apuzzo The Associated Press

CORYDON, Iowa — The hills of southern Iowa bear the scars of America's push for green energy: The brown gashes where rain has washed away the soil. The polluted streams that dump fertilizer into the water supply. Even the cemetery that disappeared like an apparition into a cornfield. It wasn't supposed to be this way. With the Iowa political caucuses on the horizon in 2007, presidential candidate Barack Obama m ad e h o m egrown corn a centerpiece of his plan to slow global warming. And when President George W. Bush signed a law that year requiring oil companies to add billions of gallons of ethanol to their gasoline each year, Bush predicted it would make the country "stronger, cleaner and more secure." But the ethanolerahasproved far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today. As farmers rushed to find new places to plant corn, they wiped out millions of acres of conservation land, destroyed habitat and polluted water supplies, an Associated Press investigation found. Five million acres of land set asidefor conservation — more than Yellowstone, Everglades and Yosemite National Parks combined — have vanished on Obama's watch. Landowners filled in w e tlands. They plowed into pristine prairies, releasingcarbon dioxide thathadbeen locked inthe soil. Sprayers pumped out billions of pounds of fertilizer, some of which seeped into drinking water, contaminated rivers and worsened the huge dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico where marine life can't survive. The consequences are so severe that environmentalists and many scientists have now rejected corn-based ethanol as bad environmental policy. But the Obama administration stands by it, highlighting its benefits to the farming industry rather than any negative impact. "They're raping the land," said Bill Alley, a member of the board of supervisors in Wayne County, which now bears little resemblance to the rolling cow pastures shown in postcards sold at a Corydon pharmacy. All energy comes at a cost. The environmental consequences of drilling for oil and natural gas are well documented and severe. But in the president's push to reduce greenhouse gases and curtail global warming, his administration has allowed so-called green energy to do not-so-green things. The government's predictions of ethanol's benefits have proven so inaccurate that independent scientists question whether it will ever achieve its central environmental goal: reducing greenhouse gases. That makes the hidden costseven more significant. "This is an ecological disaster," said Craig Cox with the Environmental Working Group, a natural ally of the president that, like others, now finds itself at odds with the White House. But it's a cost the administration is willing to accept. It believes supporting corn ethanol is the best way to encourage the development ofbiofuels that will someday be cleaner and greener than today's. Pulling the plug on corn ethanol, officials fear, might mean killing any hope of these next-generation fuels.

Enrollment Continued from A1 T he W h it e H o u s e h a s spent weeks trying to lower expectations — even as questions emerged about the way it counts who is enrolled. On Wednesday, Sebelius and congressional Democrats were

upbeat, saying people were clearly shopping for coverage. "The marketplace is working," Sebelius said. "People are

enrolling." The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has predicted 7 million people will enroll by the time the initial sign-up window c l oses on March 31, and administration officials insist they can meet that goal. But the numbers released Wednesday fall far short of the administration's early projections, contained in an internal memo in September, which said 464,920 w ould sign up i n t h e f i r st month. A peek into state data reveals vast disparities. Florida, the state with t h e s econdhighest number of uninsured (behind Texas), had the most enrollees in th e f ederal-run exchange, 3,571. Texas was second, with 2,991. There were just 42 in North Dakota. In explaining the relatively low enrollment figures, administration officials cite problems with the federal website, which have clearly prevented

people from signing up. But they also cite the experience of enrolling people under the M assachusetts health l a w , which suggests that many people enroll at the last minute. When that state expanded health coverage, only 123 of the 36,167 people who ultimately signed up did so during the first month of enrollment. But more than 7,000 signed up during the final month. (Mass achusetts, t hough, u n l i k e the Obama a dministration, counted only people who had already paid their premiums as enrollees,according to Jon Kingsdale, who ran that state's health insurance exchange.) There is still one month to go until the Dec. 15 deadline for signing up for coverage that begins Jan. 1; the initial enrollment period does not close until March 31. So administration officials, and some outside experts, say these early numbers do not reveal much. "These numbers are interesting," said David Simas, the White House point man on the health law, "but in terms of any kind of insight into the success of the program, they're not the central indicator." In political terms, though, the numbers areyet another problem for the White House, which isone reason Sebelius — and not the president — an-

"We can't go spend $5 million or $8 million on Mirror Pond, and a month after we finish the project, they say, 'We're tearing the dam out,'" Capell said. H orton said he'd l ik e t o see the committee develop a "white paper" that outlines itspreferences for the future of Mirror Pond before the next meeting with PacifiCorp officials. A separate assessment of the dam conducted by the Oregon Water Resources Department while water levels were lowered is not expected to be completed for tw o m o nths, Horton said, but should inform the committee's ultimate decision.

Democrats begintobackchanges to the AffordableCareAct WASHINGTON — Anxious congressional Democrats are

threatening to abandon President BarackObamaon a central element of his signature health care law, voicing increasing support for proposals that would allow Americans who are losing their

health insurance coveragebecause of the Affordable CareAct to retain it. The dissent comes as the Obama administration released en-

rollment figures Wednesdaythat fell far short of expectations, and as House Republicans continued their criticism of administration

officials at congressional hearings examining the performance of the health care website and possible security risks of the online insurance exchanges. In addition, a vote is scheduled Friday in the Republican-con-

trolled House on abill that would allow Americans to keep their existing health coverage through 2014 without penalties. The measure, drafted by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., the chairman of

the Energy andCommerce Committee, is opposed bythe White House, which argues that it would severely undermine the Af-

fordable CareAct by allowing insurance companies to continue to sell health coverage that doesnot meet the higher standard of Obama's health care law.

But a growing number of HouseDemocrats, reflecting a strong political backlash to the rollout of the law, arewarning the White House that they might support the measure if the administration

does not provide astrong alternative argument. Theapproaching House vote is shaping up as animportant test for both the health measure and the unity that Democratic leaders have so far been able to maintain around it despite a fierce Republican attack.

In a closed-door meeting Wednesday ofHouseDemocrats and White House officials, tensions flared as several lawmakers upbraided the administration, saying that the president had put

Kay Riley, the general manager of Snake River Produce, which packages and ships the area's Sweet Spanish onions, said growers in Eastern Oregon would have a hard time m eeting the proposed rule's required testing. With 1,800 fields requiring 15 tests each (one for each time it is irrigated), the region would be hard-pressed to find a lab that could monitor 27,000 samples, he said. Under the FDA's proposed r ule, dry b u l b o n ions a r e grouped together with 200 other commodities, including fruit trees, he said. Orchard owners in Oregon, Washington state and elsewhere are having similar issues with the E. coli standards, he said. "The law was supposed to b e commodity-specific a n d risk-based," he said. "(Instead), it's practice-based, so if you irrigate, it lumps everybody together. It has nothing to do with your crop or the potential risk." The FDA does not intend to apply the E. coli standard to potatoes because they are cooked before they are eaten. The agency should also consider a variance or exemption for dry bulb onions, which are peeled beforethey are consumed, Rileysaid. Earlier this month, Walden and sixother members wrote to their colleagues who would serve on the conference committee as the House of Representativesand Senate reconcile their different versions of the farm bill, which sets agricultural policy. The letter urged the conferees to include language in the final bill that would require new f ederal rules to be based on the best available science and include a study of possible economic impact. — Reporter: 202-662-7456, aclevengerC<bendbulletin.com

"By the time we reach the critical month of December, actual enrollment could lag projections by over 1 million people," Rep. Dave Camp, RM ich. and chairman of t h e House Ways and Means Committee, wrote in a letter this month, accompanying a subpoena for detailed enrollment data. In an interview, he said the enrollment figures were only one part of the story. "It's not just about the topline number," he said. "What I want to know is the mix of these people.

thather agency would release that kind of data at some point; she did not say when. But experts on all sides of the debate agree that the "mix" — how many are young and healthy, versus how many are old and sick — may be far more important than the actual enrollment numbers. If not enough young, healthy people enroll, premiums will skyrocket, and the law's promise of "affordable care" will not be realized. "The mix is valuable for insurers, because it will result in more stable premiums. If all the peoplewho enrollare very sick, they will have to raise premiums next year, and that is a problem," said Dan Mendelson, the chief executive of Avalere Health, a health care advisory firm.

Continued from A1 "Americans who don't have access to the Internet are inc reasingly cut off f r o m j o b opportunities, educational resources,health care information, social networks, even government services." These people are being left out even as access to broadband — Internet service provided by cable, fiber, DSL and other high-speed networks, as opposed to the older, slower dial-up service — has expanded dramatically in the past 20 years. Because of a national infrastructure upgrade t h at S trickling compares to t h e rural electrification effort of the 1930s, well over 90 percent of U.S. households are either wired for high-speed broadband or can get high-speed wireless access. But actual adoption of that service lags behind availability: In 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, the NTIA found that 69 percent of homes used broadband Internet service. That's remarkable growth from 2000, when only 4 percent of homes used broadband, but it still indicates a significant gap. So who are these Americans who remain disconnected from the online world? "They are disproportionately older," says Kathryn Zickuhr, who wrote the Pew study. According to the survey, which was done in May, 49 percent of non-Internet users are older than 65. They also are,in general,less educated. Although nearly everyone in the United States with a college degree is online, 41 percent of adults without a high school diploma are offline. The digital d ivide l inked to household income is less extreme but still substantial. Nearly a quarter of adults in households making less than $30,000 per year don't use the Internet, the survey showed, as opposed to fewer than I in 20 adults in households with annual incomes above $75,000. There also are racial disparities — particularly when it comes to Internet use at home.

Other countries with similar legacies of authoritarianism or widespread police abuses "had transitional j ustice before t hey w e r e able to turn the page," said Ahmed Ezzat, a h u m anrights activist, who said that such a process would involve trials for perpetrators, truth commissions, reparations for victims and the reform of corrupt institutions. But none of Egypt's leaders possessed "the political will" to confront the abuses, he said. Instead, reminders of the past have become a threat. Athletes have drawn outrage and censure for displaying the four-finger Rabaa symbol — Rabaa means "fourth" in Arabic — at competitions.

"They are afraid of anything that r e m inds t hem of Rabaa," one of the girls, Roqaya Saeed, 17, said of the Egyptian authorities. "A black spot they can't erase."

drill crew bored into the bed of the Deschutes River at Colorado Avenue this week to see how far down the bedrock lies. The drilling was part of an investigation of the ground for the Bend Park & Recreation District, which plans a new footbridge over the river near where the current bridge parallels the Colorado Avenue Bridge. "We are looking for intact, competent bedrock," said

Greg Cross l The Bulletin

Shane Cochran, staffgeologist with the Wallace Group, a Bend-based environmental engineering firm. A crew from Cascade Drilling out of Portland did the drilling. They found basalt bedrock 40-50 feet below the river bottom. Cochran said the company will put rock samples through compression tests at a laboratory, which will help tell the park district what type of foundation it should use for the bridge and how deep into the ground it should extend. "We can base the design on

the material underground," he said. Bridge construction is set to be part of the installation of safe passage over the Colorado Avenue Dam for boaters and floaters. The $7 million-

plus safe-passage project was among the list of park upgrades around town to be partially funded by a $29 million parks bond that voters approved in November 2012. Earlier this year, the park district chose to place the new bridge just upstream of the current footbridge after gaug-

ing public preference. "It is very close to where the current bridge is," said Chelsea Schnider, project manager for the park district. M embers of the public disliked an alternative spot for the new bridge, located downstream by about 100 yards. Concerns about placement ranged from harming views from McKay and Miller's Landing parks along the river to enticing people to jump from the bridge into the water. SeeColorado /B2

A Warm Springs man has pleaded guilty to his role in two killings that occurred six days apart on the reservation last fall. Curtis Lamont Brown, 39, was arrestedin October 2012 and charged with seconddegree murderin the death of Jonas Miller, 33, and in a separate case was charged with being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder in the death of Faron Lynn Kalama,30. A plea agreement filed in courtNov. 4 indicatesprosecutors recommend Brown be sentencedto20 years in prison for his role in the slayings. He isscheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 19. According to an affidavit filed in October 2012, Brown told an FBI agent he shot Miller with an assault rifle by accident. According to the affidavit, Brown told the agent he was in his car when Miller flagged him down and asked for a ride home. During the drive, Miller offered to sell Brown an assault rifle for $300, and the pair drove to a path near County Line Road to test the weapon. Miller handed Brown the rifle, and he pointed it at the back of Miller's head and pulled the trigger, the affidavit states. Hunters found Miller's body near the road on Sept. 30. An autopsy found he died of a gunshot to the head. Kalama's body was found Oct. 5 in another remote part of the reservation, and Brown was, according to his plea, involved in that killing as well. According to earlier court appearances, Tana Chris Lawrence and Angeledith Saramaylene Smith allegedly burglarized Kalama's home on Sept. 29, 2012, beating her with wrenches and kidnapping her. The pair then allegedly took Kalama by van to an isolated spot onthe reservation, where she tried to escape. Lawrence allegedly chased the woman, breakinga beer bottle overher head and sodomizing her with another object. Brown allegedly helped the pair dispose of Kalama's body and clean the van. An autopsy revealed Kalama died of blunt force trauma to the head and face. See Plea/B2

Cover Oregon isfar behind other exchanges

The Associated Press

SALEM — A federal report released Wednesday shows just how far behind Oregon is with its rollout of the state's health insurance exchange, Cover Oregon. After a little more than a month, a small f r action of 8,800 paper applications had been processed and no one has yet been enrolled. Oregon was dead last among 48 states reporting the number of people whose applications had been checked to see whether they qualify for Medicaid or

private insurance. All 50 states have new insurance exchanges under the federalhealth care overhaul. The exchanges are supposed to be o n l ine m a rketplaces where people can f ind out w hether t he y q u a l if y f o r Medicaid — t h e i n surance program funded by state and federalgovernments — or for tax subsidies to help purchase private insurance. O regon's e x change h a s been plagued by t e chnical problems preventing its website from accurately determining w hether applicants

are eligible for Medicaid. The organization has resorted to hiring 400 people to process applications by hand. The new federal report, released by the Department of Health and Human Services, shows that Oregon accomplished even less in the first month after launching than the 36 states using a muchmaligned website run by the federal government. Oregon was one of three states that did not report the number of people who have been enrolled, although Cover Oregon has acknowledged

T hrough N ov. 4 , w o r k ers found 425 people were eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program and 190 were eligible for private insurance. In Oregon's paper-based enrollment system, the eligibility determination is an early step in a l e ngthy p r ocess. The results will be sent to applicants, who will then have the option to pick an insurance plan and enroll.

MEDFORD — An explosive device that police say was designed to destroy an Oregon county prosecutor'soffice instead blew out windows in a pre-dawn blast W ednesday that did little other damage and caused no injuries. T he FBI said it w a s t o o early to say whether the blast in Jackson County was terror-related, but Medford Police Chief Tim George said he considered the explosion a domestic terror attack aimed at law enforcement. '"I think it is domestic terrorism, absolutely," George said. " Any time part of t h e justice system is singled out in this type of event — this type of d evice and i n tent, absolutely." Greg Fowler, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon, said in a statement that the explosive device clearly targeted a government facility. "An attack on such a visible symbol of g overnment and justice demands our singular focus," he said. The device, fashioned in part from a 5-gallon propane tank, failed to fully detonate, authorities said. About 25 federal investigators from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Seattle and Portland were joining the effort to gather evidence about the explosivedevice, George said.

Federal agents from two states are working on figuring out who's responsible for an explosion that blew out the windows at the district attorney's office in Jackson County. in these cases, as we've seen over the years, is the methodical collection of evidence," he said. "I would bet the house on it — we are going to clear this case." George said there were no suspects and no indications of themotive or message from the personwho setthe device. "There's n othing m e a ty now in what we are chasing," he said. After the explosion, a silv er-colored p r opane t a n k , s imilar t o t h os e u sed f o r camping, was found dented on its side in front of the broken windows at the prosecutor'soffice.

While the district attorney's office regularly gets threats from people, none stand out as potentially related, District Attorney Beth Heckert said. Police withheld details of the explosive device, such as how it was detonated and what kind of explosive was used. Police went house to house w arning people to stay i ndoors and cleared a l a r ge area around the office out of fears there might be other explosivedevices.The closed area after was tightened after none was found.

is changing the way energy companiesare addressing the use of coal. Portland General Electric is preparing to phase coal out of its 600-megawatt Boardman power plant by 2020 rather than implement new emission controls that would cost the state's largest utility hundreds of millions of dollars. While the precise future of coal remains tangled in economic a n d en v i r onmental challenges, it still accounts for the majority of U.S. electric generation.

ne shortcut to learning about what's at stake in a bill before the Oregon Legislature is to look at who

is testifying. For House Bill 3087, it was Central Oregon LandWatch in favor; Deschutes County, Beaverton and the League of Oregon Cities against. The bill would have set limits on what cities or counties can charge for review of land use decisions. House Bill 3087 died. Some environmental groups are working to bring a version of it back. It should stay dead, but the environmental groups do raise important concerns. Oregon law allows cities and counties to charge fees to cover costs when there is an appeal of a land use decision. It could be a permit or zone change on a particular piece of property. By law, the fees must be reasonable. Do youremember thefightover the cell tower in Alfalfa? That ended up being an appeal to the Deschutes County Commission over a land use decision. In testimony earlier this year, CentralOregon LandWatch argued there should be limits on the fees charged. High fees are a barrier that prevent legitimate appeals from going forward. Fees can also exceed actual costs. Both those things could be true. But we believe the policy should be structured in a way that the appellant bears the cost, not the taxpayer. And that's the way Deschutes County, for instance, has tried to set up its system. Asking for a review of a land use decision canget expensive. Nick Lelack, the community development

~1+

director for Deschutes County, offered an example in testimony he submitted to the Legislature. An appealfee from 2012 was $2,736. Under the appeal fee limit proposed in HB 3087,the feew ouldhave been $126. Deschutes County does sometimes waive fees for financial hardship or "public benefit." Lelack believes that the fee the county has charged — it was $2,490 plus 20 percent of the original application fee — accurately covers about 80 or 90 percent of the actual costs for appeals in Deschutes County. He said that under the 2013 legislative proposal, taxpayers would have to subsidize thousands of dollarsevery year in appeal costs.The county could do that by raising other fees tocoveritsexpenses orby diverting money used for something else in the general fund. He does not, though, have any precise analysis or an audit showing that in Deschutes County the feesthe county charges forappeals do match the actual costs of an appeal. He also does not know the rate at which the decisions made at the county level are overturned. "That is an analysis I should perform," he said. There does seem to be a need for better analysis to ensure appellants are charged reasonable amounts. But the way to solve that is not for the state to arbitrarily set much lower rates for every county.

Canceling health plans should be delayed

Oregon website. And, if they do so the old fashioned way, they may not know for certain what their premiums ortheirpotentialtax-credit subsidies might be. If they fail to qualify for help, meanwhile, they may find premiums higher than expected. Given all that, any confusion causedbyextendingcanceledpolicies throughthe end of March — as insurance carriers have always had the option to do — would be a pleasant change fromthe current situation. It's impossible to judge the impact such a requirement would have on insurance providers, unfortunately. Meetings on the subject were secret, and the public was not let in on the secret. That gives the public no way to judge the notion that it's impossible or a bad idea. All that should tell Cali, the state of Oregonand the Obama administration something. When you cobble together something new and it begins falling apart immediately, it's time to stop, breathe deeply and put your plans on hold until you've solved your problems.

NI Nickel's Worth Cruz has a simple, cold mindset

More issues about the room tax

For many, Sen. Ted Cruz stands as asteadfast voice of conservative principles and unflinching resolve. For those of us outside of this circle, however, his ability to l ive comfortably protected by a health plan worth atleast $20,000 a year, courtesy of his wife, while attempting every political maneuver available to scuttle the Affordable Care Act is more than hypocritical. It reflects a very simple, cold mindset — good for me, tough luck for you. In the book "A Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Lincoln was said to have been a man nwho combined a logical intellect with an unselfish heart." It presently boggles the mind as to how the Republican Party could have evolved from Abraham Lincoln to Ted Cruz. PatrIck EIIIott Bend

During the recent campaign for the expensive special election to raise the room tax, many wise letters were published in The Bulletin against the tax raise. However, in only one letter did I see any reference to the origin of the room tax, which is to repay the city for extra use of our infrastructure. This tax is a joke when only 10 percent of it will revert to the city and the rest is used to luremore visitors. In an outdoor-oriented community, infrastructure is a bigger enterprise than in a shopping cultural destination. Bicycle, hiking and ski trails, roads to these destinations, bus transportation, the usual water and sewer use and social services get much harderuse than we alone would utilize, wearing out these facilities faster. The second item not mentioned is that tourism is the major entry point for attracting homebuyers, and this kind of growth is not good for Bend. It also produces a poor class oftemporary jobs — unsustainable jobs. Remember, when this town becomes overcrowded and loses its attractiveness, visitors (and homebuyers) will abandon it for the next mecca, leaving Bend to fend for itself. Barbara McAusland Bend

Egg on their faces

he 140,000 or so Oregonians who have learned their health insurancepolicies willbe canceled as of Jan. 1 got no relief this week from Laura Cali, the state's insurance commissioner. There won't be any requirement to delay cancellations until the end of March, she told The Oregonian, because it's just too confusing. Her decision came after a week of secret discussions between insurance executives and top state officials. Meanwhile, California, where more than a I million residents have received cancellation notices, has decided to roll back the cancellation date for two months. A bill requiring a rollback is set for a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, probably Friday. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., has said he will co-sponsor a Senate version of the measure. We agree that forcing the delay of insurance cancellations might confuse some Oregonians. We suspect that they're already confused. After all, they cannot actually sign up for insurance on the Cover

Egg on their faces and their ties: website doesn't work, people losing health care that they like, companies cutting hours of employees, jobs being cut, insurance policies sending out cancellation notices, sticker shock of "new" plans, "penalties" coming down the pike, doctors quitting the business. We can't afford it. Many people did try to warn everyone. Even yet, it seems many still have thrills running up their legs. Our country is skidding downhill fast. It hurts to watch. And unfortunately, the worst is yet to come — limited careformedical needs. Please pay attention. GaII Denham

Defending the Republicans Responding to Ethan Springer's question: Yes, a reader will defend the actions of the Republicans in Congress with regard to the budget and government shutdown.

sunriver

The Republican-controlled House did pass a budget sufficient to continue to operate the government, minus funding f o r O b a macare. And they sent it on to the Senate for its consideration and presumably eventual passage and forwarding to the White House. The Democratcontrolled Senate refused to consider any budget without funding for Obamacare, and the result was the temporary shutdown of federal operations. You canargue infavor ofObamacare until the cows come home or you can argue in opposition to the debacle that it is. But it was plain i r responsible of the Senate and White House to fail to pass an interim budget to keep the Parks Service, the IRS and other services working while the debate over Obamacare continued. Bottom l i ne: T h e D e m ocrats shut down the government with their own un com p r omising stubbornness. Jerry Wright Sisters

OSU-Cascades: Why choose the west side and not Juniper Ridge By John K.James or the past five years I have chaired the Juniper Ridge Management Advisory Board, so I understand its positive attributes, as well as the limitations of its existing infrastructure. In May 2012, I agreed to assist Becky Johnson in selecting a new campus for Oregon StateUniversity-Cascades Campus as an unpaid volunteer. We recruited four others to join with me in a voluntary real estate advisory committee, including Mike Hollern, Bill Smith, Kirk Schueler and Todd Taylor. Collectively, the group has extensive knowledge of Bend real estate. The community owes them a big thank you fortheirservice. Our first task was to select a consultant to determine the building space and acreagerequired to accommodate 5,000 students by 2025. SRG was se-

lected and earlier this year it issued a report advising that 50-60 acres would be required by 2025. The ensuing site selection process was d r iven b y f o u r m a j or considerations: • Timing — residential facilities, and ideally classrooms, could be available at the chosen site by fall 2015. • Amenities that appeal to prospective students, parents, faculty — reasonable proximity to health care, fitness facilities, public transit, trails, skiing, movie theaters and retail. • Ability to grow — 10-20 acres for initial development and 50-60 acres total. • Cost — obtain maximum value from donor an d t a xpayer f unds not only initially but as the campus expands. The search initially focused on existing buildings near the OSU-Cascades

IN MY VIEW Graduate and Research Center on Columbia Street. Asking prices for existing buildings to be converted for universityuse were high, and there was concern about availability and escalating cost for future acquisitions of buildings and land parcels for growth. Several large acreage parcels such as Juniper Ridge and others outside the urban growth boundary, both west and eastside,w ere considered. Juniper Ridge couldconceivably accommodate the initial 10-20 acres in the employment zone, but to satisfy the 2025 goals, the land would have to be in the north end. The costto provide sanitary sewer,waterand roads could be in excess of$20 million. Neither the university nor city can aff ord this in the nextfewyears. For the sites outside the UGB, all would require substantial costs to extend the in-

frastructure and could not have finished buildings by 2015 even with expedited time frames to annex and zone any of these properties. Also, all of these sites are farther fromthe desired amenities. In contrast, the location of the two adjoining west-side parcels is ideal for the desired amenities. The 10.4-acre parcel at Century and Chandler avenues is properly zoned, and the initial buildings can be completedbyfall2015. The size of the pumice pit in the adjoining 46 acre parcel is initially daunting, but with proper geotechnical engineering, it can be structurally filled to be as sound as any site. There may also be ways to take advantage of some of the existing topography without having to completely fill the site. Even if it is completely filled, initial estimates show the total cost of the grade-ready site will be about$8-$9 per square foot.This compares favorably to the finished

site costs, including all infrastructure, at Juniper Ridge and other large outlying parcels. Asking prices for land in the Colorado Avenue area are now $12-$15 per square foot and higher, and they could escalate as the economy recovers. With the acquisition of the combined 56 acres in the west-side location, the university will own enough land to meet its 2025 goals. There is the possibility of future growth beyond as the former county landfill property is eventually remediated. There will be opportunities for public input as the university plans the new campus and it becomes a reality. However,compared with Juniper Ridge, or anyothersite, for nowthewest-sidelocation satisfies the search considerations for the new OSU-Cascades campus. — John K.

CALIFORNIA

Muir's legacypreserved through clonedsequoia By Louis Sahagun Los Angeles Times

Horticulturists r ecently announced that they had successfully cloned a genetic replica of an ailing 130-year-old giant sequoia planted by conservationist John Muir in the 1880s on his ranch in Martinez, Calif. And many more are apparently on the way, they

say. If all goes according to plan, the first clone nurtured in a Michigan laboratory will be shipped within a year to California for planting at Muir's homestead, which is a national historic site about 35 miles northeast of San Francisco, said David Milarch, co-founder of the nonprofit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive. "That tree is the last living witness to Muir's life and

times," Milarch said. "We expect to ship its clone to the John Muir National Historic Site when it's about 18 inches tall. Once rooted, it'll grow several feet a year." M uir, regarded as the father ofthe modern conservation movement, returned from a Sierra Nevada trip with th e o r i ginal s eedling wrapped in a d amp handkerchief. He planted the specimen beside a carriage house on his family's Martinez, Calif., fruit ranch. Today, the sequoia is 70 feet tall and dying of an airborne fungus. As part of an effort to preserve a living connection to Muir at the site, Keith Park, a National Park Service horticulturist, trimmed two dozen cuttings from healthy young b r anches

and shipped them to Archangel, which has successfully cloned trees planted by George Washington at Mount Vernon in Virginia. Jake Milarch, an archive p ropagator a n d Dav i d Milarch's son, snipped the cuttings into 400 smaller pieces, treated them with an experimental concoction and kept the clippings at 74 degrees in the nonprofit group's laboratory in Copemish, Mich. "Critics said it was impossible to clone a giant sequoia more than 80 years old," Milarch said. "But my son proved it can be done. Right now, we have one clone. But we'll get more, no doubt about it." Others could be donated to national parks in other areas with a climate and soil to grow them.

REDMOND — There was a point earlier this season when something clicked. Loaded with t a lented upperclassmen, Ridgeview was dealt its first setback of the year, a 14-12 decision at Klamath Union in the season's second week. That loss resonated with the Ravens. That bitterness, they never wanted to taste it again. During the following week of practices, the Yellowbirds responded with focus and intensity. And since then, the Ravens have become — andhave remained — one of the top Class 4A football teams in the state. "It's hard to get them to buy in, but this group has," Ridgeview coach Andy Codding says about his offensive and defensive "scout" teams, known as Yellowbirds for the yellow vests the players wear over their jerseys during practice to distinguish themselves as the opposing team. See Ravens /C4

The Bulletin

Here is a quick look at the Class 4A quarterfinal game on Friday,

Friday, 7p.m.: The Ravens,No.4 inthe 16-team bracket, come off their ninth straight win after routing visiting North Valley 41-12 last Friday. Ridgeview totaled 556 yards of offense, with 393 coming on the ground. Boomer Fleming and Tanner Stevens,both ofwhom have rushed for more than 1,100 yards this season, lead the Ravens into their quarterfinal matchup against No. 12 Henley out of the Skyline Conference. The Hornets, who dispatched previously unbeaten and fifth-seeded Banks 28-19 last week, is in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2000 thanks in large part to our duel-threat quarterback, Josh Overstreet. The senior signal caller accounted for all four Henley touchdowns last week — three rush,

one pass — enroute to 266 yards through the air and 96 yards on the ground. But Overstreet will have to deal with a Ridgeview defense that allowed just160 yards last week and has piled up 21 sacks for the season. The Hornets

Ridgeview wrestler commits toStanford By Grant Lucas The Bulletin

REDMOND — The top priority for Boomer Fleming was education. He figured he could wrestle at the next level. But that next tier had to include quality academics. That is why on Wednesday morning,

Fleming, a Ridgeview High School senior and a two-time wrestling state cham-

pion, signed a N a tional Letter of Intent to attend and wrestle at Stanford University, a school internationally renowned for its Fleming aca d emic standards. "The No. 1 thing was education," Fleming said Wednesday. "Overall, that's all I was looking for and all that was important to me and my

parents." It helped in t h e d ecision process, though, that Fleming will have the opportunity t o c o ntinue hi s w r estling career. In earning a scholarship to the university in Palo Alto, Calif., Fleming was at the top of the recruiting list for the wrestling program at Stanford, according to Ridgeview coach Dan Elliott.

LOS ANGELESlot of college football followers hate the Bowl Championship Series, but noconference needs it to go away faster than the Pac-12. No league has been more tormented by its quirkiness and, at times, outright chicanery. The BCS would not have been possible without the Pac-12's cooperation in 1998, when then-Southeastern Conferencecommissioner Roy Kramer and cohorts persuaded the league and the Rose Bowl to sign on the crooked line. It meant releasing the Pac12 and Big Ten champions for a "title" game any time its conference champions finished No. I or No.2. The BCS/SEC swore the Rose Bowl could keep its traditional Pac-10/12 vs. Big Ten game every year ... except years it might have to take Miami, Nebraska or Texas Christian. One season, the Rose Bowl had to put Rutgers on its big board of contenders. The BCS has worked out tremendously for the SEC, which has garnered nine of the 15 available titles. All six BCS champions outside the SEC had to go undefeated, while the nine BCS champions from the SEC have lost seven total games. The Pac-12 and Rose Bowl have no one but themselves to blame. All systems are "fair" if you agree to its rules and loopy loopholes. The Pac-12's participation has been a boon financially and helped "grow the sport" nationally in ways few could have imagined. In terms of Pac-12 football, though, the BCS adventure has been "The Poseidon Adventure." In 2001, Oregon finished No. 2 in both polls but got edged out of the title game by Nebraska, fresh off a 62-36 loss at Colorado. In 2003, USC f>ntshed No. 1 in both polls but No. 3 in the BCS standings. This anomaly was possible because Oklahoma got blown out by Kansas State in the Big 12 title game but still finished No. 1 in the standings. Everyone knows USC, not Oklahoma, should have played LSU in 2003. SeeBCS/C4

PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin is not much on public gratitude. Still, the perpetually focused Pittsburgh Steelers coach went out of his way to thank the fans who showed up at Heinz Field to watch his team drum the Buffalo Bills 23-10 on Sunday for its third win of the season. "It's not something we take for granted," Tomlin said. Good idea. A crowd of 60,406 turned out to watch two teams with a combined 5-12 record play on a

NFL cold, blustery day more suited for late December than three weeks before Thanksgiving. The 5,000 or so who bought their tickets but chose to not make it through the turnstiles were conspicuous,their absence marked by pockets of open gold seats in certain portions of the stadium tucked tight against the Allegheny River. Welcome to life in the new NFL, where "sellouts" are the norm but full houses are becoming the exception, and not just in places like woeful Jacksonville. Blame it on mediocre teams. Blame it on rising ticket prices. Blame in on the comfort of your couch, where it does not cost hundreds of dollars to sit, and the cold beer in your fridge, the one that does not cost $8 a bottle.

The Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers play before a sparse crowd during Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. As TV ratings stay strong, the number of people showing up for games, even in the places that are traditionally hot tickets, is dwindling.

OREGON STATE MEN'5 BASKETBALL

Hot-s ootin Beavers et win ever Pi ots By Kyle Odegard

The Associated Press

CORVALLIS — Roberto Nelson scored 24 points, tied a career high with seven assists and had four steals as Oregon State beat Portland 79-73 Wednesday night. Angus Brandt added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Beavers (1-1), and Devon Collier had 11 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks. Oregon State shot 54.5 percent from the field. "We ended up with 50 total points in the paint," coach Craig Robinson said. "When you have guys who can do it down there, you want to take advantage." R yan Nicholas ha d 1 4 points and 13 rebounds for the Pilots (1-1), but shot 5 of 16 from the field. Bobby Sharp, a junior college transfer, came off the bench and added 18 points for Portland, making five 3-pointers. The Beavers scored 11 straight points in the f irst half to take a 2 0-10 lead. Brandt had five points during the run. Oregon State led 41-33 at halftime, but the Pilots tied

the game 59-59 on a layup by Thomas van der Mars with 7:50 left. But the Pilots made costly mistakes, said coach Eric Reveno. "We battled back, tied it up and then turned it over twice for layups," he said. The Beavers built a lead of seven points on a Nelson 3-pointer with 2:20 left and

w ere able to hold off t h e visitors. Oregon State lost 78-73 to Coppin State in its season opener at home on Sunday. Nelson led the Beavers in that game with a c a reerhigh 36 points. He has now scored in double figures in 19 straight games. C ollier started f o r t h e Beavers after serving out a suspension for a violation of team rules. He missed the team's two exhibition games and its season opener. The 6foot-7 forward averaged 12.6 points and six rebounds last season. "Me coming back helped Roberto a lot to get open,

because now (opposing players) focus on me," Collier said. "It's great to have Devon back, but Hallice Cooke played fantastic down the stretch and I don't think we would have won the game without him," Brandt said. Cooke, a freshman, saw h is first extended run o f playing time, and had nine points and three steals. Two of those steals came in the final 6:30, and the freshman had a dunk and layup as a result. "Those were key plays," Brandt said. Brandt was playing his second game since a season-ending ACL tear in November 2012, and Robinson said his conditioning had improved and he appeared normal this game. "That looked like the old Angus," Robinson said.

Oregon center Waverly Austin, rlght, plays tlght defense on Western Carolina guard Brandon Boggs durlng the first half of Wednesday night' s game lnEugene.

Ducks pull away to beat W. Carolina The Associated Press EUGENE — Joseph Young scored 28 of his career-high 36 points in the second half to help No. 18 Oregon rout Western Carolina 107-83 on Wednesday night. M ike M oser a dded 2 6 points and Elgin Cook had 16 for the Ducks (2-0), who opened the season with an 82-75 win against Georgetown last Friday at Camp Humphreys, a U.S. A r my base in Pyeongtaek, South K orea. They r e turned t o Oregon the next day and resumed practice Monday. Young, a transfer junior guard from Houston, made all seven of his shots in the second half and only missed three of his 12 attempts in the game. He was also 15-for-16 from the free-throw line. Moser, a 6-8 transfer seni or f orward f r o m U N L V where he was an All-American in 2012, scored 15 in the first half and went 9-for-14 from the field. Trey Sumler scored 29 in his season debut for the Catamounts (2-1). The senior guard, who averaged a teamhigh 18.4 points last season and was a n a l l -Southern Conference selection, missed the first two games of the season after being charged with assault and battery in September.

MEN'5 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: PAC-12 ROUNDUP The Ducks (2-0) led 41-39 at halftime but then Young took over. He scored 17points as Oregon extended its lead to 71-55 with 11:49 left. Young and Moser hit backto-back 3-pointers to open the second halfand Oregon hit eight 3's in the game. The Ducks also went 35 for 47 from the free throw line. Western Carolina cut its deficit to 73-67 with 9:08 to play on a 3-pointer by Sumler, his 13th straight point. But that was as close as the Catamounts would get. Also on Wednesday:

Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldrldge (12) comes In to block the shot of Phoenix Suns shooting guard Archle Goodwin (20) durlng the first quarter of Wednesday nlght's game ln Portland. The Blazers took a 90-89 victory.

L iar ' s a u

ro esBazers The Associated Press PORTLAND — D a mian Lillard couldn't believe it. He had a clear path to the hoop. Last season's Rookie of the Year hit a layup with 6.5 seconds left to give the Portland Trail Blazers a 90-89 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. "I turned the corner and I was like, it's wide open so I'm going to get to the rim," Lillard said. "It was pretty wide open so I was pretty sure of myself getting all the way there." The Suns led by as many as nine points in the second half but the Blazers went ahead 78-77 on Lillard's hook shot with 6:45 left. The teams traded the lead as time ticked down until Eric Bledsoe's layup put Phoenix up 87-83. Wesley Matthews made a 3-pointer and Robin Lopez tipped in a shot to put the Blazers in front 88-87 with 1:35 left. Miles Plumlee's layup gave the Suns the lead again, bu t t h e n B l edsoe missed a shot with 11.9 sec-

onds remaining, giving the ball to the Blazers. Lillard drove to the hoop and scored, and on the other end Bledsoe's layup against Nicolas Batum was off. Markieff Morris missed a couple of tip-in chances as time ran out. "It was uncontested," Lillard said. "I got straight to the rim. I had missed a couple earlier but that was the one that counted." Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said it was a breakdown of basic pick-and-roll defense. "He's a fast guy, so our bigs have to pick him up. But we were just worried too much

PITTSBURGH — B r ayden Schenn scored two goals and backup goalie Ray Emery stopped 30 shots to lead the Philadelphia Flyers in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. Schenn, who had a goal and an assist during Philadelphia's 5-0 win against Ottawa the previous night, opened the scoring late in the first period and got the tiebreaker late in the second. Emery got the start one night after Steve Mason shut out

TH E BULLETIN•THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 'I4, 2013

Attendance Continued from C1 The Steelers (3-6), who have six Vince Lombardi Trophies in the lobby at team headquarters, are in danger of posting their lowest average attendance since 2003, when they limped to a 6-10 record and missed the playoffs. The franchise is on a similar trajectory this fall in a place that can be tough — by NFL standards — to completely fill even when times are good. Pittsburgh is averaging 61,465 fans through four home dates, the lowest over thesame span since Heinz Field opened in 2001. It is a trend hitting the league regardless of market size or on-field success. In 2008, only five teams played to stadiums less than 95 percent full. That number has doubled this season at a time when TV ratings are at their best since 2006. The Washington Redskins have one of the NFL's rising stars in quarterback Robert Griffin III and are playing to just 88.9 percent capacity this season. The surprising New York Jets have the nation's largest metropolitan area to pull from and only 93.3 percent of those with tickets are showing up. Then again, New York can be a tough market. Steelers wide r eceiver Jerricho Cotchery was on the 2007 Jets that staggered to a 4-12 record. As the season wore on and the losses mounted, things got weird. "Pittsburgh came to town but it felt like an away game," Cotchery said. "It was so loud in there. I remember us

doing silent (signal) count and all of that stuff at home. But we were a bad team. I probably wouldn't want to take my kid out in the cold and watch a bad team play football." It can lead, in some instances, to the unnerving realization that players cannot simply rely on the juice — or the vitriol — from the crowd to get

amped up. "When we play on the road, certain places are just known for being quiet," Cincinnati left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "It's almost like in the huddle, you have to keep remind-

ing yourself to keep your energy up and realize that some of these places are really quiet and you have to create your own energy a little bit." The NFL amended its TV blackout rule last year, allowing teams to sell only 85 percent of its prime tickets to meet the threshold necessary to have home games broadcast locally. While the decision has done nothing but goose TV ratings even further, getting folks into the stadium on a regular basis in some cities remains a tough task. Oakland and Jacksonville swath their stadiums in massive drapes that cover entire sections. It reduces capacity but has not exactly increased demand. While the atmosphere has improved with the Raiders, only 81.4 percent of ticket holders make it to their seats. More than 10 percent of those with tickets in Jacksonville do not bother to get an eyeful of one of the league's worst teams. Arizona quarterbackCarson Palmer is prepping the Cardinals for an "interesting atmosphere" when they play

the Jaguars (1-8) on Sunday in Jacksonville, where tickets are going for as low as $8 on StubHub. To be honest, he is going to miss the opportunity to quiet a hostile environment, mostly because there likely will not be one. "You can't worry about any of those outside distractions," Palmer said. "You've just got to focus on doing your job each and every play, and do what it takes to win the game, regardless of how many people are watching or who is in the stands." Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to stress that the in-game fan experience remains important to the league. It also remains important to the bottom lines of owners, if only to fatten their wallets. When Personal Seat L i censing came into vogue, it created a new revenue stream by making fans plunk down thousands just for the right to buy tickets. It priced some longtime season ticket holders out of the market and as the U.S. economy sputtered, so did interest in making a significant financial commitment to get in the door when the living room can be just as inviting and significantly cheaper. And owners continue t o p r e ss for new stadiums even as evidence mounts that less might be more. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has turned AT&T Stadium into a virtual ATM since it opened in 2009. Dallas averages morethan 86,000 fans a game, well over 100percent capacity,even as the team continues to hover around .500. The Falcons have been in the Georgia Dome barely 20 years and already they have struck a deal on a new $1 billion building that will be ready by 2017. The Steelers are not greedy enough to ask for new digs, but they are planning to add 3,000 seats at Heinz Field, even though they have never averaged morethan 63,458 per game since the stadium's debut in 2001. All that is left is deciding who picks up most of the tab. The issue remains in the Pittsburgh courts, though whenever the expansion is complete, the same factors that fans face every Sunday will remain in place. "It's just how it works," Cotchery said. "When you're losing like (we did in New York), those decisions have to be made. Do Igo tothe game or do I not go to the game? I know it's tough."

PREP NOTEBOOK

ow Irs ic e or a -tourne s ua s Bulletin staff report Crook County senior outside hitter Hannah Troutman was the lone unanimous pick for the Class 4A all-tournament team after leading the Cowgirls to their eighth straight state volleyball championship in Eugene on Saturday. Crook County's Karlee Hollis was also a first-team selection, as was Nila Lukens, who helped Sisters to a third-place finish. Katie Nurge, who helped Ridgeview to the fourth-place trophy, was named to the second team, where she was joined by Sisters' Isabelle Tara and Allie Spear. Crook County's Kathryn K aonis was also a second-team selection. At the 5A state championships in Hillsboro, Bend High's Alicia Todd and Callie Kruska were chosen to the all-tournament second team after leading the Lava Bears to fifth place. And at the 2A tournament in Redmond, first-team all-tournament selections included Shealene Little and Gabrielle Alley of third-place Culver. All-Ieague volleyball released: After leading Madras to its first Class 4A Tri-Valley Conference title since joining the league in 2010, junior outside hitter Shelby Mauritson was named the league's player of the year and Rhea Caldwell was chosen coach of the year. Joining Mauritson on the all-TVC first team were Alexis Urbach and Elle Renault, while Keely Brown was named to the allleague second team. In the 4A SkyEm League, Sisters' Nila Lukens and Isabelle Tara were voted to the all-conference first team. Savannah Spear was asecond-team selection, and Miki McFadden claimed her second straight Sky-Em coach of the year award. In guiding Trinity Lutheran to its first Mountain Val-

Ravens Continued from C1 "They understood, and we told them from the beginning that we're

only going to be as good as we practice. And we can't practice well if we're not working hard on both sides of the ball," Codding added. Those scout teams, which emulate upcoming opponents for Ridgeview's starting offense and defense, have become vital in the Ravens' quest for a 4A state championship. Since the Yellowbirds committed to their roles following that early-season loss, Ridgeview has reeled off nine straight wins and is two more away from playing for the state title. While tailback Boomer Fleming, running back Tanner Stevens or quarterback Jacob Johnson might snag the headlines with breakout games, the daily contributions of the Yellowbirds should be included among the key reasons why the Ravens soar into Friday night's quarterfinal matchup against Henley with a 10-1 record and a No. 4 ranking in the state. "It's a big deal to us," says senior linebacker Coleman Aamodt, a defensive Yellowbird. "We have a plaque for scout team player of the year, and that's a huge role on our team. That's what's making our team excel every week and get better. We take pride in that. Playing scout team is definitely nothing to be ashamed of. I'm proud that we go hard on scout team, and I'm proud of what makes the offense get better, and defense." Each week, coaches watch film

BCS Continued from C1 In 2004, No. 5 California was denied its first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1959 because the medicinebottle BCS fine print mandated that spot go to No. 4 Texas by the margin of .8476 to .8347, whatever that meant. Voter manipulation and/or fraud may have been involved. No, next year's four-team playoff cannot get here soon enough. It is coming at a time when the Pac-12 is pigskin peaking. The league has not been this good in years and is now generally considered No. 2 behind the SEC. Next year, playing at this level, the Pac-12 champion will almost assuredly land a spot in the top four. This year, though, it's going to mean diddly squat again because the Pac-12 is probably going to get left on the bench. Stanford's 26-20 win over Oregon last Thursday eliminated the Pac12's last undefeated team. Barring a strange next three weeks, an undefeated champion from a far weaker conference is go-

ing to earn the title-game bid over the Pac-12 champ. Oregon's loss opened the door for Florida State, leader of what is probably college football's fifth-best conference. Alabama and Florida State are now 1-2 in the latest BCS standings, followed by Ohio State, Stanford and Baylor. If Florida State stumbles, undefeated Ohio State, from the watereddown Big Ten, will get the bid. If Alabama and Florida State lose, undefeated Baylor from the wilted Big 12 would probably jump the Pac-12. This is all perfectly fair and fine. Stanford lost at Utah by six points. The Cardinal had a third-and-2 at the Utah 6-yard line and elected to pass the ball twice. The other option was handing off to Tyler Gaffney, who carried 45 times for 157 yards in last week's emphatic win over

Oregon. The decision to pass, instead of run, may cost Stanford a shot at the national title. Again, that's the way the system crumbles. At least next year, with the four-

Mountain View's GPA trailed only Grant of Portland and Forest Grove, each of which had 4.0 averages. Each Cougar runner will receive sweatshirts, pins and certificates from the Oregon School Activities Association and the Dairy Farmers of Oregon, and they will also be honored during a meeting next month of the Bend-La Pine School Board.

La Pine grad named player of the week: Kassi Conditt, a 2010 La Pine High School graduate now at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, was named the Red Lion women's basketball player of the week as announced by the Cascade Collegiate Conference. The senior recorded a pairof doubledoubles in leading the Owls to a 2-0 record at the William Jessup University Invitational Tournament Championship in C a lifornia last weekend. Conditt posted 20 points and a career-high 22 rebounds in a 69-50 win last Friday over William Jessup, the first 20/20 game in OIT history. She followed that on Saturday with 15 points and 13 boards to lead the Owls to their fourth straight victory, a 74-63 decision over Master's College, and the tourney championship. Heiniy tabbed as Summit golf coach: Andy Heinly, owner of Pro Golf of Bend, has been named the boys golf coach at Summit High School. Heinly, who has been an assistant coach with the Summit golfprogram for the past six years, takes over for Mark Tichenor, the longtime Storm coach who retired last spring.

Wrestler Continued from C1 "This is something he's worked hard at since he was a kid wrestler," said Elliott, who coached Fleming for three years in middle school before taking over the first-year Ravens last winter. "It's been a major commitment on his part to be where he's at in wrestling.... He's just so talented." Fleming was accepted into Stanford two weeks ago, according to the senior, and that swayed his decision after weighing options to wrestle for Oregon State University or walk on to play football at the University of Oregon. Fleming, listed on Ridgeview's football roster as 5 feet 10 inches tall and 197 pounds, is a standout running back for the Ravens. "What appealed to me the most was when I got down there (to Stanford) — I'm still not sure what I want to do yet, and I'm undecided on my major, but they told me that, really, I can't go

wrong," said Fleming, who is leaning toward studying international business. "Anything I choose, they're top five in the nation in academics. That sold me." Fleming attending Stanford is a perfect fit, Elliott said. "It is for him academically. He's got some very high academic goals," Elliott said. He added that, as an Oregon State alumnus, he would have loved to see Fleming go wrestle at OSU. "But life is more than just a wrestling career," Elliott continued. "Four or five years from now, he might be done with wrestling, but he won't be done with his career opportunities." — Reporter: 541-383-0307, glucas@bendbulletin.com.

NorthwestStocks Wal-Mart Stores' latest quarterly earnings will be examined for signs about the financial health of its shoppers. Like other merchants, Wal-Mart is grappling with a yo-yo economic recovery that has been tough on low-income shoppers, and is causing middle- to upper-income shoppers to remain frugal about their purchases. The retailer's third-quarter financial results, due out today, should offer clues on how its shoppers are feeling heading into the holiday season.

Stocksrose Wednesday, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Dow Jones industrial average to record highs. Companies that sell non-essentials to consumers led the way after department store operator Macy's reported stronger earnings and revenue growth for the third quarter than analysts expected. Technology stocks were also strong, helping to offset modest declines for telecommunications companies. The S&P 500 was lower through much of the morning's trading, but it erased its losses and flipped into gains by midday. It surpassed its prior high set on Oct. 29. The Dow topped the record high that it had set on Monday.

BRIEFING

imism on

Closures possible after bank merger Bank of the Cascades will likely have to close

branches nextyear after its parent company acquiresIdaho-based Home Federal Bank, a

company official said Wednesday during a conference call. Terry Zink, bank president and CEO, said the Home Federal pur-

chase, expected to be finalized by late March, would leave 50 percent of Bank of the Cascades' branches within one half-mile of another branch.

By Elon Glucklich The Bulletin

Central Oregon's real estate market came back strong in the last year, and many manufacturers across the High Desertare nearing record levels of production. But living-wage jobs aren't being created fast enough for a true recovery to take hold. And consumers could find themselves short of disposable income if home prices and interest rates rise next year without wages following suit. Those takes on the region's economy came from several

business, real estate and education officials Wednesday at a Bend Chamber of Commerce-sponsored economic forecastdiscussion. Becky Johnson, vice president of Oregon State University-Cascades Campus, talked about the university's effort to graduate more students with science and engineering degrees. The school recently launched acomputer science program, which Johnson said could help attract tech-savvy students to the region and keep local talent in Central

Oregon.

"If you provide those opportunities and grow that workforcehere,students are more likely to stay" in the region after graduating, she said. Other speakers touched on the impact of political gridlock on hiring and expansion decisions. Roger Lee, executive director of Economic Development for Central Oregon, said he's heard from severalbusiness leaders this year who want to grow, but they're unsure of how changes to health care and other financial policies will hit their bottom lines.

"When we talk to companies, we're hearing about that uncertainty," Lee said. "People don't want to be caught unaware." But Lee added that 2013 has been strong overall. EDCO helped recruit as many businessesto the region during the third quarter of the year as it had in some previous full years. Those companies are push-

ing down the supply of empty commercial properties, a positive sign for a region that saw vacancy rates soar above 20 percent in the middle of the recession,said Br ian Fratzke,

principal broker with Fratzke Commercial Real Estate. Kris Scholl, technical director for Deschutes Brewery, shared concerns about lowwage earners falling further behind higher-earning peers as the economy recovers. Even when employment hits prerecession levels, the region will be worse off than before if a large section of the population can't afford homes, cars and other big purchases that drive economic activity, Scholl said. — Reporter:541-617-7820 egluchlich@bendbulletin.com

with an exact number"

of branches to close, Zink said about the

much rest assured they aren't both going to be there." Bank of the Cascades

has18 Oregon offices and13 Idaho offices,

according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data. Home Federal

has15 Oregon offices and 11 Idaho branches.

Home Federal branches will carry the Bank of

the Cascadesname once the acquisition is finalized.

The conference call with analysts and share-

holders came aday after Bank of the Cascades announced $1.49 million in third-quarter earnings and growth in its loan portfolio. — Bulletin staff reports

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says increasing the Fed's openness and accountability has been a top priority of his during the eight years he has been leaderofthe centralbank.

Go to sites like BabyCenter.com and seek the collective wisdom of thousands of moms. Technology has redefined knowledge in terms of who can access it and who can possess it. Now, everyone's a Cliff Clavin. Everyone's an expert or can be in a matter of seconds. And there's nothing trivial about that. True or false: A vast majority of teachers think the Internet makes students more self-sufficient researchers. Answer: Not exactly. Sixty-five percent of teachers who instruct advanced high-schoolers and middleschoolers agree. But 83 percent feel the amount of

information available online is overwhelming to most students. And 60 percent believe today's technologies make it harder for students to find credible sources of information, according to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. Annie Hatch, a history and English teacher at Oakland's Life Academy High School, is one of those educators who says this nowwe-have-it knowledge is a blessing and a burden. Blessing: There's so much information out there. Burden: There's so much information out there. "I can't even fathom how different teaching before the Internet must have been," said Hatch, who is 29. "I'm sure it was easier in many ways, but also much more limited and probably often frustrating."

When Hatch was designing a new unit on the book "In the Time of the Butterflies," she went online and found information about the Dominican Republic and historical events of the book's time period. She also found videos and interviews with the author and poems and other texts, countless images, comprehension questions, ideas for projects — "I mean, literally, everything," she said. "And there's the burden: There's so much out there, it can be overwhelming, time-

WASHINGTON — Cashstrapped states are scouting for ways to pay for critical road work, and increasingly, the result for motorists is the same: You're going to have to pay a toll. In the past, state and federal gas taxeslargely covered the cost of building and maintaining roads. But the federal gas tax, currently 18.4 cents per gallon, has not changed in 20 years. Meanwhile, peopleare driving less and vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient. Nobody likes to pay tolls, but raising the gas tax is even less popular — and a tax hike would be an uphill battle at a time when Congress can't seem to agree on anything, said Patrick Sabol, an infrastructure analyst with the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. At least with tolls, Sabol said, people feel they are

paying directly for roads they travel, instead of paying taxes to build and maintain roads they may never use. "There's a fairness argument," added Leonard Gilroy, director of government relations at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Los Angeles. "If you use the road-

consuming and confusing.

way, you pay."

Where to start? Where to look? What to use?" Because of the glut, Hatch often sees students use inaccurate sources in their papers, or "run wild with a theory they read on some websites that they assume must be telling the whole truth," Hatch said.

Roads need constant maintenance and at some point, they just need to be rebuilt, Gilroy said. "People believe that because they poured asphalt into the ground, they've paid for it.... A road is never, ever paid for," Gilroy said. "What tolling does is take the hidden costs and make them transparent."

Bernanke's comments came at a town hall meeting the Fed held Wednesdaywith teachers gathered in Washington and some who participated by webcast. It was the third teacher town hall meeting for Bernanke, who will be stepping down as Fed chairman on Jan. 31. "Increasing the Fed's trans-

Bernanke has pushed for a number ofchanges to make the Fed more open, including expanding the information provided in the policy statements it issues.

Families' diets have too much, andnot enough

flexibility in flexible

spending By Tara Bannow The Bulletin

By Eli Saslow

Every year around midOctober, Coffman Vision Clinic in Bend gets busy.

The Washington Post

Really busy.

McALLEN, Texas — They were already running late for a doctor's appointment, but first the Salas family hurried into the kitchen for another break-

It's not some freak case of collective vision impairment. It's

MONEY peopi«rying

to use up the money that's left in their flexible spending accounts, untaxed money people can save from their paychecks to spend on things that aren't covered under their health insurance.

NUTRITION

paidfor bythe federal government. The

4-year-old grabbed a bag of cheddar-flavored potato

chips and a granola bar.

Things like, say, glasses.

The 9-year-old filled a bowl with sugary cereal and then gulped down chocolate milk. Their mother, Blanca, arrived at the refrigerator and reached into the drawer where she stored the insulin needed to treat her diabetes.

jab.

"Let's go," she told the children, rushing them out of the kitchen and into the car. "We can stop for snacks on our way home." The familycheckup had been scheduled at the insistenceof a schoolnurse, who wanted the Salas family to address two concerns: They were suffering from both a shortage of nutritious food and a diet of excess — paradoxical problems that have become increasingly interconnected in the United States, and especially in South Texas. For almost a decade, Blanca had supported her five children by stretching $430 in monthly food stamp benefits, adding lard to thicken her refried beans and buying instant soup by the case at a nearby dollar store. She shopped for "quantity over quality," she said, aiming to fill a grocery cart for $100 or less. But the cheap foods she could afford on the standard government allotment of about $1.50 per meal also tended to be among the least nutritious — heavy in preservatives, fats, salt and refined sugar. Now Clarissa, her 13-year-old daughter, had a darkening ring around her neck that suggested early-onset diabetes from too much sugar. Now Antonio, 9, was sharing dosages ofhis mother's cholesterol medication. Now Blanca herself was too sick to work, receiving disability payments at age 40 and testing her bloodsugar level twice each day to guard against the stroke doctors warned was forthcoming as a result of her diet. She drove toward the doctor's office on the twolane highways of South Texas, the flat horizon of brown dirt interrupted by palm trees and an occasional view of the steel fence that divides the United States from Mexico. Blanca's parents emigrated from Mexico in the 1950s to pick strawberries and cherries, and they often repeated an aphorism about the border fence. "On one side you're skinny. On the other you're fat," they said. Now millions more had crossed through the fence, both legally and illegally, making Hidalgo County one of the fastest-growing places in America. SeeObesity/E5

That's what most of Coffman Vision Clinic's customers tend to buy in November and December, said Optical Manager Allysyn Beebe. "They've already come in for their eye exam earlier and they just have money left to spend, so they come in and get more glasses," she said. Until recently, FSA money automatically became unavailable at the end of the user's insurance policy period, which forplans offered by most

large employers happens Dec. 31. That generally prompts widespread mad

rushes of people making appointments with their eye doctors, dentists or other providers before the end of the year. Leftover

money typically goes back to the employer. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department on Oct. 31 released new rules designed to put a stop to the typical "use-it-or-lose-it" mantra and the stress it entails. See Flexible/E2

A chapel in St. Charles Bend provides a space for visitors to pray, meditate or reflect. While the chapel provides materials from several denominations, hospital leaders say the facility is holding true to its Catholic roots.

• St. Charlesays s it remainscommitted to the principlesthat guide Catholic hospitalsdespite having noformal affiliation with the church By Tara Bannow The Bulletin

Despite its formal split with the Catholic church nearly four years ago, leaders with St. Charles Bend say they're just as committed to embodying their Catholic identity as ever. When the former bishop of the Diocese of Baker, which covers Central Oregon, severed ties with the hospital in early 2010, he took away the "capital C" but didn't change much else, said St. Charles Health System President and CEO Jim Diegel. "The spirit of our history, the legacy, the way we have

taken care of patients, our commitment to the poor, to the uninsured, to equity and all of that, it just remains in place," he said. "It hasn't

changed." Which prompts the question: What does it mean to operate as a Catholic hospital? For starters, the more than 600 Catholic hospitals in the U.S. are governed by an extensive set of rules called the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs). It's a list of 72 tenets, some of which — the bans on elective abortions, birth control and euthanasia, for example — are known to

and age. Then-Bishop Robert Vasa severedthe church's relationship with St. Charles Bend, the only of St. Charles' four hospitals that was Catholic, primarily over its practice of providing tubal ligations, a sterilization procedure commonly known as having one's tubes tied. The ERDs prohibit sterilizations. Soon after, St. Charles' Board of Directors decided its Bend campus would stay true to its roots and comply with the rest of the ERDs, Diegel said.

It's a mystery: When we twist our ankles playing tennis, it can take weeks to heal, but when a pro athlete does it,he often misses barely a beat. Take an FITNF55 NBAgame last season between the L.A. Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. Kobe Bryant was pushed in midair, and he landed with a thud on the court. He clutched his ankle and writhed in pain. A few hours later — after X-rays found no broken bones — his coaches announced he was out indefinitely with a bad sprain. Yet 36 hours later, Bryant was back on the court. Did he have a miraculous recovery? Not necessarily. While professional athletes are in terrific shape, which helps when they get injured, they also have advantages rarely available to the weekend warrior: an instant medical response

and a physical therapy regimen that kicks in quickly, operates practically around the clock and continues even after the athlete has recovered. SeeRecovery/E6

dementia By Mary MacVean Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — People who spoke two languages developed dementia 4/~ years later than those who spoke just one — even i n p eople who were illiterate, said scientists who reviewed the records of hundreds of dementia patients. The study is the largest to date to document the delay of dementia in bilingual people and the first to suggest that education level alone can't explain the difference, the researchers said. The researche rs a ls o c o n t rolled t h e i r results for age, sex, occupation and rural versus urban living. The researchers reviewed the case histories of 648 people with dementia; 391 of them were bilingual. The people lived i n H y d erabad, I ndia — interesting because much previous work i n t h i s a r ea has been with i m m igrants, who bring a native language to a new culture. Most people in Hyderabad are at least bilingual. They are exposed to Telugu and Dakhini languages in informal contexts, such as home, and to Hindi and English in school and other formal contexts. Previous research has suggested that switching from one l anguage t o a n o t her leads to better development of executive function abilities and of t asks requiring attention. The researchers found that a person didn't get additional advantage by speaking three

said Mark Pauly, a professor of health care management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. "This is such a good deal that you'd have to believe you were immortal not to really pick it up," he said. Although they vary in their design, bronze plans generally cover about 60 percent of a person's medical costs. All plans, including bronze, must cover standard benefits like prescription d r ugs, m a ternity care and mental health treatment. The availability of the zeropremium plans varies across the country. McKinsey found that about 40 percent of the uninsured in Missouri will be able to select a no-cost bronze plan,for example, compared with 2 percent of the uninsured in New Jersey.

Many insurers tried to price their least expensive plans so they would become free or nearly free with the addition of subsidies that are set based on a person's income and the cost of a midlevel, or silver, plan. The analysis found that 5 million to 6 million people who are uninsured will qualify for subsidies that will be greater than the cost of the cheapest bronze orsilver plan. Another I million with individual insurance could also be eligible, according to McKinsey, although estimates of the size of the market for private individual insurance vary widely.

St. Charles Continued from E1 "Our board took action and said 'We will voluntarily comply with the ERDs, as we always have, because we believe it's a very rich document,'" he said. "It's a very rich history, and it's who we are." In practice, though, that c ompliance is m u r ky. T h e hospital has no intention of stopping tubal ligations, and its pharmacy dispenses birth control, despite the ERDs' condemnation of contraceptives. Diegel declined to go into specifics about how exactly the hospital's Catholic legacy plays out in its policies and protocols. In addition to forbidding specific services, the ERDs c o ntain b e h avioral guidelinessuch as being a responsible steward of health care resources, providing pastoral care personnel to tend to patients' religious and spiritual needs and respecting patients' dignity regardless of health problem or social status. "The best way to describe it is to say we haven't changed how we practice," he said. "If you're asking me to get real specific with the ERDs and how it shows up, I'd have to go and look at that document and talk to you about each of the tenets of that." Bill Danaher, St. Charles Bend's Catholic chaplain, did provide a specific answer. It's simple, he said: St. Charles Bend doesn't t ur n a n y one away, regardless of his or her ability to pay. "We have amandate to care forthe poor,forthe uninsured, for the underinsured,to respect and promote the fundamental rights of all individuals regardless of who they are or what their standing is, financially or otherwise," he said. As a designated acute care hospital, St. Charles Bend legally can't turn anyone away who shows up in its emergency room. The hospital is reimbursed by the government for a portion of the indigent care it provides, as well as for a portion of the care it provides to Medicaid an d M e dicare recipients. Much of that care, however, still goes uncompensated. Last year, St. Charles Bend provided nearly $112 million in unreimbursed care, said spokeswoman Lisa Goodman. Leonard Nelson III, a professor emeritus at Samford University's Cumb e r land School of Law in Birmingham, Ala.,has researched Catholic health care ethics extensively, and said he's skeptical of hospitals that c al l t h emselves Catholic because they provide care for low-income patients. While C atholic h ospitals are major providersof charity care — care that's provided without the expectation that it will be reimbursed — secular hospitals provide charity care as well. " If b e in g C a t holic j u s t means, 'Well, we do whatever a ll other hospitals do w i t h respect to taking care of indigent or uninsured patients,' then I'm not sure what's that distinctive about that," he said It's increasingly difficult for Catholic hospitals to abide by the ERDs in the face of further government regulation and economic pressure, Nelson said. Often, hospitals that aren't technically connected to the church will still call themselves Catholic to capitalize on the idea of being a healing ministry. "They see that there is economic value in t ha t b r and identification," he said. "Peo-

Oregon is among eight states in the U.S. where more than 30 percent of its total hospital admissions are to Catholic facilities, according to a 2011 American H o spital A s s ociation survey. In Washington state, where a series of mergers in recent years has increased the proportion of Catholic hospitals, some groups have raised concern over their potential to refuseend-of-life care,equitable care for LGBT populations and reproductive services such as abortions and contraceptives.

The study isnot cause for alarm, but "it's far from reassuring that BPA is safe" for such women, she said. To minimize BPA exposure, avoid cooking or warming food in plastic because heat helps the chemical leak out, she said. Don't leave water bottles in the sun, limit use of canned foods and avoid handling cash register receipts, which often are coated with resins that contain BPA. "It's impossible to avoid it completely," Lathi said.

QUESTION: I suspect I have a yeast problem. Could you explain the symptoms and treatments available for Candida albicans?

QUESTtoN: I have Psoriasis, and it always s eems to get worse this time of year. A r e there any good options to treat this?

ANSWER:Psoriasis is a common skin condition which affects 2-5% of the population. It is most commonly seen on the scalp, hands, elbows and knees- but may affect almost all of the body in severe cases.

ANSwER: Yes, it is true. W o men have both estrogen and testosterone. We hear a lot more about Estrogen because it is the hormone that changes the most dramatically from before I menopause to after menopause. From high Mary Huntsman, levels to very low levels, sometimes just within M.D. a few months. However testosterone, even though it is at lower levels, is very

It becomes an infectious agent when Dr. Kerle Raymond there is some chan e in the body environment (such Naturopathic as t he pH or normal flora) that allows it to grow out Physician of control. A common cause of infection may be the use of antibiotics that destroy beneficial, as well as harmful, microorganisms in the body, permitting yeast to multiply in their

place. Symptoms of Candida can range from skin infections to other non-specific symptoms such as gas, indigestion, insomnia, sweats, cravings, allergies, sinus congestion, tired/fatigued, depressed, memory problems, vision disturbances, and rectal or nasal itching.

lf the number of friendly bacteria is decreased in relation to a number of Candida, the immune systems is weakened. Candida will shift from yeast to mycelial fungal 1'orm and start to invade the body. In fungal state it is invasive and can produce rhizoids, which can penetrate mucosa or intestinal waus, leaving microscopic holes and allowing toxins, undigested food particles and bacteria and yeast to enter the bloodstream. Treatment can be challenging and is multi dimensional to include removing the food source (sugar), changing terrain and pH, and killing the Candida.

It i s mo s t commonly treated with topical prescription steroid creams but there are other options. Your Psoriasis is flaring with the change of season and with less sun exposure.

Psoriasis is very responsive to UVB, which are the burning rays of the sun. One very effective strategy to treat Psoriasis is with UVB. At Central Oregon Dermatology we have a narrow band UVB light box which is highly effective and is covered by most insurance plans. It is important to note that this is very different than using a tanning bed which uses harmful UVA rays and is proven to cause melanoma- the most deadly form of skin cancer. There are other options to treat your Psoriasis as well, including topical prescription vitamin D based creams. Lastly systemic medicines are good options for more severe cases. I would suggest discussing these options with your Dermatologist.

important too. Certainly by the time a woman enters her early thirties, levels are beginning to drop, and continue to drop steadily as time goes on. Symptoms associated with this are depression, irritability, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, low libido, brain fog, and night sweats. Interestingly, as men age, they can experience these same symptoms as they experience the gradual loss of Testosterone. The good news is that testosterone levels can be easily tested, and if found low, can be restored. Years of medical studies support the benefit o f h o r mone replacement. There is so much great information to share, I am offering free seminars on November 12th and 13th in Bend and Redmond to for men and women to learn more.

I am looking for something that will just tighten my muscles and remove some of the stretch marks over my lower abdomen. What do you recommend. Adam P Angeles, ANswER: Your specific goals are similar Board Certified to many women your age esPecially after pl t S „ having children. Less invasive and lengthy procedures are available for your particular situation. Some women only need to address the lower abdomen with muscle tightening and removal of unwanted skin. This is known as a 'mini' tummy tuck. This is a smaller operation and patients return to normal activities sooner than those who have a full tummy tuck. Seek advice of a board certified plastic surgeon that has experience with these techniques who can help you reach your goals.

ANswER: A lot of aircraft passengers report significant discomfort after sitting for hours at a time. Not only does prolonged sitting cause discomfort but the seats themselves can force you into a poor postural position.

Your spine is designed to curve forwards in the neck and low back, and backwards in the thoracic mid-back/chest area. Airplane seats often force your chin forwards and do not provide much low back support, so that your spine looks like a large C and you are set up for potential pain issues. Try pushing your hips to the back of the seat, and putting a small pillow or rolled up towel in your low back. This will help keep your lumbar curve intact, and keep your head from being pushed forwards. The therapists at Healing Bridge Physical Therapy are trained in all aspects of good healthy posture, and would be able to teach you more specific methods of preventing back and neck pain. You can also come by the office and buy an inflatable lumbar cushion for ease in traveling!

ANswER: They are not only safe, but the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently issued recommendations that ob-gyns perform a basic oral health assessment on their patients at the earliest opportunity and encourage Carlo Arredond them to visit a dentist during pregnancy. Diana Cheng, MD, vice chair of The College's Committee on Health Care for Underserved Women, which issued the recommendations earlier this year, said dental care is important because oral health problems can be linked with other diseases, including heart disease, respiratory infections and diabetes. According to The College, more than a third of all women report they haven't seen a dentist within the past year, and some 4 percent of pregnant women in the United States have periodontal disease and cavities. "We want ob-gyns to routinely counsel all of their patients, including pregnant women, about the importance of oral health to their overall health," said Dr. Cheng. Hormonal changes like fluctuation in estrogen and progesterone levels in a pregnant woman's body can affect the body's response to the bacteria that cause gum infection. Bacterial infection could affect the placenta, the organ that links the fetus with the mother's uterus, so regular visits to the dentist during pregnancy are important in protecting the health of your baby.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013 • T HE BULLETIN E S

NUTRITION Obesity Continued from E1 "El Futuro" is what some residents had begun calling the area, and here the future was unfolding in a cycle of cascading extremes: Hidalgo County has one of the highest poverty rates in the nation ... which has led almost 40 percent of residents to enroll in t h e f ood-stamp

program ... which means a widespread reliance on cheap, processed foods ... which results in rates of diabetes and obesity that double the national average ... which fuels the country's highest per-capita spending on health care. This is what El Futuro looks like in the Rio Grande Valley: The country's hungriest region is also its most overweight, with 38.5 percent of the people obese. For one of the first times anywhere in the United States, children in South Texas have a projected life span that is a few years shorter than that of their parents. It is a crisis at the heart of the Washington debate over food stamps, which now help support nearly 1 in 7 Americans. Has the massive growth

of a government feeding program solved a problem, or created one? Is it enough for the government to help people buy food, or should it go further by also telling them what to eat? Blanca walked her children into the doctor's office in the sprawling town of M c A llen and they took turns stepping onto the scale: 110pounds. Seventy-eight. Fifty-five. "Not perfect, but not so bad," the doctor said. Then a n urse handed him the children's blood work — a series of alarming numbers that lately read more like averages in this part of Texas. Clarissaneeded to watch her sugar, he said. Antonio needed to increasethe dosage of his cholesterol medication. "Can I still eat hot Cheetos?" Antonio asked. "Just one bag a day?" "Not anymore," the doctor sard. "One a week?" e No

T he doctor set down h i s chart and turned to face Blanca. He had 17 more appointments on his schedule for the day — 17 more conversations like this one. The waiting room was filled with the children of Hidalgo County, 40 percent of them experiencingsevere hunger at least once each month and 32 percentof them obese. His challenge was the same one that preoccupied so many in the Rio Grande Valley: How could families who had so little find ways to consume less? "Either you a ddress this now or it will be too late," he told Blanca. "I can give you medicine, but that's not the permanent solution."

The legislative approach There was a time when Terry Canales thought he knew the solution, and that solution could be accomplished through politics. Canales, a 33- y e ar-old Texas state r e presentative, grew up outside McAllen, surrounded by the poverty and obesity he called "the double deaths" of Hidalgo County. He had waited in line at the area's ubiquitous drive-thru convenience stores and w atched people usetheir government Lone Star cards to purchase some of South Texas's most

popular snacks, paying $1 for hot Cheetos smothered with cheese or $2 for a Mexican snow cone covered with gummy bears and chili powder. He had seen children use food stamps to buy Red Bull energy drinks by the case, and he had seen some of those same children waiting in line at the medical clinic near his house where 28 people had diabetes

diagnosed every day. "We are slowly killing ourselves," he concluded. So, he took time off from his law practice in 2012 to run for

office,spending $500,000 of his own money to win a job that pays $600 a month. He left his wife and three young children at h ome t o s pend each week at the Capitol in Austin, where he became one of severallawmakers across the country working to change what people can buy with food stamps. Minnesota wanted to ban candy, New York City hoped to eliminate soft drinks and

She had tried planning a menu and cooking family dinners, but tailoring meals on a budget to the varied tastes of five children exhausted her. They would eat broccoli only if she slathered it with butter and cheese. They would eat Mexican mole sauce only if it came with a hulking side of tortilla chips. The prepackaged diet lunches she splurged on at $3.50 each sometimes came back from school with uneaten turkey and whole-wheat crackers. As her health worsened, she had started shopping mostly for foods she knew they would eat and prepare themselves. Now Antonio came into the kitchen looking for something to eat. "Make a smart choice," she told him. She watched

had already exhausted her f ood-stamp account for t h e month, and she had nothing else to spend until the next deposit arrived in a few days. This time she would receive about$30 less,likeeveryone on food stamps, because of stimulus funding that expired in November. She looked again at the list of recommended foods: fat-free cottage cheese, quinoa, bok choy, chickpeas and dozens of other items. Some she had never heard of; most she had never encountered in the dollar stores of South Texas. She had been born in the United States in the last years when being poor also usually meant being thin. Her parents had lied about her age when she was 11 so she could get ajob picking with them in the fields. They ate what they picked, raised their own chickens and boiled rice by the pound. But the sprawl of McAllen edged into the farmland, and Blanca dropped out of school in 10th grade and took a job at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. She had her first baby at 19 and her second a fewyears later, with a man who soon disappeared to Mexico. She applied for public housing in a community that offered little space to grow her own food,near a commercial road lined with 17 fast-food restaurants. Now, each morning on the way to school, her children rode past signs that advertised "Dollar Menu," "Ultimate Dollar Menu," "Dollar Tacos," and "Hot Cheetos, two for a dollar. " These were the treats they loved and the treats they could afford. For years, Blanca had tried

n' ac is,'a ui - reean i ero TV SPOTLIGHT "The Blacklist" 10 p.m.Mondays, NBC

J+

By Willa Paskin Slate

NEW YORK — "The Blacklist," NBC's series about a brilliant criminal mastermind who for mysterious reasons begins to help the FBI apprehend seriousevildoers, is one of the big hits of the fall season. Starring James Spader in de facto scene-stealing mode, the show, which airs Monday nights, has more than 10 million viewers a week and h as already been g iven a full-season order by NBC. Its premise is simple, but savvy to the point of elegance: As Grantland's Andy Greenwald succinctly put it, "it's a cop procedural with a c r i m inal as the lead investigator," the powerhouse marriage of a reliable genre and the trendiest of archetypes, the antihero. As this high-concept premise suggests, "The Blacklist" is both u t t erly s h ameless and, in its way, genuinely (if cynically) sophisticated. Its protagonist, Raymond "Red" Reddington, w i l l ma n i p ulate, kill, flatter, scare, flirt, joke to get what he wants, namely the trust and affection of a y oung FBI agent. "The Blacklist" will manipulate, kill, flatter, scare, flirt, joke to get what it wants, our attention and affection. "The

James Spader, left, stars as Raymond "Red" Reddington and Megan Boone as Elizabeth Keen in NBC's "The Blacklist." Blacklist" has coolly learned one of the lessons of "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad" — that despite their creators' best intentions, scads of viewers thrilled to th e v i olence and troubled murderers they contained, even if they were not "meant" to — and has decided to offer them up, guilt free. "The Blacklist," like its protagonist, is not concerned with ethics, just opportunity. Spader stars as Reddington, who in the first episode promises to help the FBI nail a huge list of very bad guys, but only if he can work with a brand new agent named Eliz-

abeth Keen (Megan Boone). His Reddington is a man of

self-confidence. The early episodes heavily intimated that Keen is Reddington's biological daughter. Every conversation the pair have had about why he insists on working with her has been carefully constructed so that it will signify differently in retrospect if and when we find out he is her father. On a sting, he tells Lizzie she can pretend to be his daughter; later, he explains he is interested in he r p r i m arily because ofher father.Cr eator Jon Bokenkamp has learned from "Lost": Don't tease mysteries you can't answer. Bokenkamp cribs widely, in fact. Red owes so much to Hannibal Lecter, I presume his favorite meal is a meat course served with favabeans and chianti, he just hasn't mentioned it yet. Keen's house is being surveilled by a number of thuggish men, a setup straight out of " Homeland." In one episode, Keen and Red hunt an assassin, nicknamed "The Stewmaker," who dissolves his victims in the bathtub using chemicals and a gas mask, like he has learned how to get rid of corpses from Jesse and Walt. (Skinny Pete also appears on the show, implausibly, as Red's polished attache.) Last week, in a story straight f ro m t h e o r i g inal Scandinavian version of "The

refined tastes, the amoral aesthete who appreciates poetry, a good tumbler of scotch and beautiful women. Like most of Spader's recent characters he is a strange, alluring mixture of clipped line readings, smarm, freaky sexual bravado and deranged self-poss ession. Unlike most m a le actors who have an outsized on-screen presence, Spader vamps, crossing the line into camp like it's the threshold to his front door. (What I would not do to see him and Jessica Lange in "American Horror Story" mode in a room!) It's a kicky, kinky and mannered Bridge," a guy got buried performance grounded by an alive.

"The Blacklist" happily lifts from. If these nods to other TV shows ar e l a zy, that's part of "The Blacklist's" bravado, its brazen willingness to cadge from the best, no u ntended wallet safe in i t s presence. "The Blacklist" i s a w are of the morally complex prot agonists wh o h a v e c o m e before it in th e golden age of the antihero, but it is not burdened by grandiose ambitions: It's pure pop. Unlike "Boardwalk Empire," "Ray Donovan," "Magic City," "Hell on Wheels" and other shows made in "The Sopranosre image with long faces and nothing new to say about their t o r t u red s e m i-good, semi-bad guys, "The Blacklist" delivers its no news with a fresh, fun attitude. I can't say that I find this

ethically acceptable. (Emily Nussbaum, in her review for The New Yorker, called the show "odious torture porn," and she's not wrong.) But I also can't denythat I findit a more entertaining than any of the aforementioned Fauxpranos. "The Blacklist" makes you like the bad guy without feeling bad about it. A recent episode was devoted to trapping a killer who couldn't feel pain and hid objects in his own self-inflicted wounds, a perfect villain for " The Blacklist," a show i n which nothing is supposed to hurt.
