It is clear that the region's old status quo, dominated by imperious rulers who fixed elections, ruled by fiat and quashed dissent, has been fundamentally damaged, if not overthrown, in the three yearssincethe outbreak of the uprisings optimistically known as the Arab Spring.

The Mirror Pond committee authorizedto recommend a final plan for the iconic body of water will hold its meetings in public, city councilor and committee member Mark Capell said Wednesday. The committee held its first meeting behind closed doors and without notice Tuesday, in a potential violation of Oregon public meetings law. "I'm not sure who's right," Capell said Wednesday. "I think the best way to do this is just unwind, and start over." Capell said park district lawyer Neil Bryant advised the committee on Tuesday that its meetings must be public because the City Council and park district board voted in July to create the ad hoc committee. The committee was also authorized to select a final plan for the future of Mirror Pond, Bryant said. See Mirror Pond/A5

the minimum flight time required to be a co-pilot from 250 to 1,500 hours, came in response to a 2009 plane crash in Buffalo, N.Y., that killed 50
people. The FAA argues that the tougher qualifications for
entry-level co-pilots, or first officers, will ensure pilots have a stronger foundation of aeronautical knowledge and the proper experience to fly for an airline and to fly specific airplane models to which they are assigned.
Independent experts and pilots, however, say skilled aviators are the product of a rigorous, high-quality training program, not the number of hours they log in the cockpit. See Pilots/A5

CAIRO — V i olent clash-
es spread across Egypt on Wednesday after security forces stormed two sprawling protest camps in an early morning assault that k i lled scores ofsupporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi. With at l east 281 people killed, it was the deadliest day in Egypt since the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak, and the fallout dealt a further blow to the prospect that the country might resume its path toward democracy. At least 37 died in clashes in the c onservative oasis town o f Fayoum. By nightfall, the militarybacked interim government that replaced Morsi after a July 3 coup, had declared a state of emergency, and Mohamed E1Baradei, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and vice president, had tendered his resignation in protest over the bloody crackdown. The United States strongly condemned the violenceand said it would hold the interim government accountable for its promises of a speedy transition to a democratically elected civilian administration. Hundreds of M o r si-allied Muslim Brotherhoodmembers were arrested nationwide after the dawn assault, the Egyptian government said. The authorities blamed the Islamist group for the violence and said police had confiscated guns, ammunition and other weapons from the protest sites. The mo r n i n g ass a ult brought bulldozers crashing through protesters' tents as security forces opened fire through clouds of smoke and tear gas. Witnesses later posted footage showing dozens of bodies lining the rooms of a makeshift hospital run by

Manning, facing prisonfor leaks, apologizes atmurt-martial trial By Charlie Savage FORT MEADE, Md. — Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is facing up to 90 years in prison for leaking 700,000 government files to WikiLeaks, apologized W ednesday for t h e "unintended consequences of my actions." He told the judge at his court-martial trial that while he "believed it was going to help people, not hurt people," he now realized that what he had done was wrong. "I'm sorry that my actions hurt people," he said. ml'm sorry that they hurt the United States. At the time of my decision, as you know, I was dealing with a lot of issues, issues that are ongoing and continue to affect me" — a referenceto matters like his crisis over his gender identity, which he was confronting while on a military deployment in a combat zone. Throughout the case, open-
g overnment a c tivists h a v e celebrated Manning's leaking as a heroic act to be admired and emulated even as his critics have denounced him as a traitor. And earlier in his court martial, M anning's defense lawyer, David Coombs, portrayed his client as a whistleblower, even if a naive one. But in the sentencing phase this week, Coombs has elicited testimony that depicted his client as asmaller,sadder figure — a damaged and confused young man whose decision-making capacity when he decided to leak the files was impaired by extraordinary stresses. In his statement, Manning said these personal issues did not justify the things he did. "Although a c o n siderable difficulty in my life," he said, "these issues are not an excuse for my actions. I understood what I was doing and the decisions I made. However, I did not
fully appreciate the broader effectsof my actions. Those factorsareclearto me now." Manning's brief, three-minute statement to the judge, Col. Denise Lind, was not sworn, so prosecutors could not cross-examine him. For much of the day, the defense sought toportray Manning in human terms, from a difficult childhood — starting with his mother's heavy drinking while she was pregnant with him — to his mental and emotional deterioration while in Iraq. U nder q uestioning f r o m Coombs, Capt. David Moulton, a clinical psychiatrist who extensively examined his client after his arrest, described the stress and isolation that Manning was under, and framed his release of the documents to WikiLeaks as the immature, even neurotic act, of an idealist who thought he could end all wars.

Corsica. In1812, the Battle of Fort
Dearborn took place asPotawatomi warriors attacked a
U.S. military garrison of about 100 people. (Most of the garrison was killed, while the re-

He also cites nine textual "corruptions" (like "creuie" insteadof"creuic,"modernized as "crevice") that he believes can be explained as misreadings of Shakespeare's handwriting.

WASHINGTON — With no cure in hand for Alzheimer's disease, many ask why someone would necessarily want an early diagnosis. But research continues to focus on detecting the earliest signs of dementia, and on the factors that give rise to some dementias or fuel their relentless progression. Those findings may point the way to prevention strategies. And they may allow physicians to recognize Alzheimer's disease and other dementias before they have taken a m easurable toll. Stopping or slowing it there might be easier than reversing it, and could, for all practical purposes, be as good as a cure. Two new studies offer insights into what earlylife factors may set the disease in motion, and how Alzheimer's might r e adily be detected in its earliest stages. One of those tracked nearly a half-million Swedish men from their late teens to middle age to discern

onset Alzheimer's (defined as Alzheimer's diagnosed before age 65). Another explored the ability to recognize and name famous faces in those with early-onset dementia. The study identified the brain structures that are implicated when those deficits take root, and gives physicians a quick way to detect problematic cognitive changes in their patients. That new screening test may be the only place where Princess Diana, Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey and Pope John Paul II can all be seen in one sitting. If you're between 40 and 65 and can'tname them readily, a physician might raise concerns about p r i mary progressive aphasia, a form of dementia that most often sets in in midlife and disrupts a person's ability to name objects and people, but leaves other cognitive skills intact. If you don't seem to recognize many of the famous faces at all, a p h ysician might explore further the possibility of frontotemporal lobar dementia or early Alzheimer's disease, both of which seriously disrupt facial recognition. The screening test is the work of a group of researchers from Northwestern University, and is published in the journal Neurology. In a study published online Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, a team of Swedish researchers took advantage of that country's traditions of universal conscription, universal health care and standardized medical records to see which young men were most likely to develop early-onset Alzheimer's. Tracking 488,484 men from their first military physical for an average of 37 years, they found that those with high systolic blood pressure, lo w co g n itive function and short stature in late adolescence were significantly more likely to develop early-onset dementia. In all, 487 of the men went on to be diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Other factors were seen far more frequently in young adults who would develop early dementia than in those who did not: paternal dementia, occurrence of alcohol or other drug intoxication, stroke, taking antipsychotic medication and depression.

Rasmussen a nd Bate are including " T h e S p anish Tragedy" in t h e R oyal Shakespeare Company's new edition ofShakespeare's collaboratively authored plays, to be published in November. And Bruster plans to include the Additional Passages in his new edition of the Riverside S hakespeare (renamed t h e Bankside Shakespeare), coming in 2016. Tiffany Stern, a professor of early modern drama at Oxford University and an advisory editor for the Arden Shakespeare, praised the empirical rigor of Bruster's paper, but said that some new attributions were driven less by solid evidence than by publishers' desire to offer"more Shakespeare" than their rivals. "The arguments for 'The Spanish Tragedy' are better than for most" putative Shakespeare collaborations, Stern said. "But I think we're going a bit Shakespeare-attribution crazy and shoving a lot of stuff
in that maybe shouldn't be there." Bruster was less persuaded bythe linguisticparallels, which he calls merely "suggestive." And so he turned to perhaps the most literal source of authority: Shakespeare's own pen. Inhispaper, Brusteridentifies 24 broad spelling patterns — including shortened past tenses

RESEARCH
T in tosovet e eacoc 'stai By Charles Q. Choi Special to The Washington Post
Humans admirepeacocksfor their stunning tail feathers, but until recently no one could say whether the display actually drew the eyes of peahens. Now scientists, strapping cameras onto the heads of the female birds, have obtained evidence of what it is about peacock tails that attracts the opposite sex. The peacock's tail, or train, was a riddle that vexed Charles Darwin as he sought to devise his theory of evolution: The principle of natural selection suggested that a species would develop traits that enhanced its chances of survival, but the extravagantly outsize train seemed more like a burden than an aid. "The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!" the puzzled scientist wrote in 1860. His eventual solution was the concept that some traits might be useful for sex rather than survival. In other words, peacock tails are aids to courtship that run the risk of fatally impairing the males in exchange for giving them a better shot at a mate. However, it has remained uncertain how exactly peacock tails enticed peahens: Was it the iridescent eyespots? The length of thefeathers?
ln the eyes The technology known as eye-tracking is beginning to provide answers. Eye-tracking research has been conductedin the laboratory for more than a century. Once the necessary cameras became light enough for humans to wear, scientists conducted studies outdoors. For instance, wearable eye-trackers developed by New York-based Positive Science with funding from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory could be used to learn how combatants detect camouflaged targets. Now eye-trackers are lightweight enough for animals to wear, giving scientists a tool to learnmore about how other

A peahen wears a small camera on top of her head. The camera was used by researchers to study the peahen's attraction to peacock plumes. Scientists looked at what parts of the plumage the peahen observed and the amount of time the female spent looking at each location. creatures view the world. This year, for example, Japanese researchers reported equipping chimpanzees with such gear to learn how they look at humans as well as at the rewards they are offered during experiments. For the peacock experiment, reported in the August edition of the Journal of Experimental Biology, Positive Science collaborated with evolutionary biologist Jessica Yorzinski, then a graduate student at the University of California at Davis, to develop eye-trackers small

Finally, the cameras wereadded to the helmet, and the transmitting apparatus was put into the backpack.

enough for peahens.
A t f i r st, Y o r zinski w a s afraid the weight of the device — about 13 ounces — would inhibit the birds' normal activities. However, by the end of the familiarization process, which sometimes took months, she said the peahens behaved normally while wearing the eyetracker — walking, eating and even mating with it on. "This was a very ingenious way of finding out what this species finds important in the world," said Eric Knudsen at Stanford University, who studies the nervous systems of birds. In experiments, each peahen
Scientists from UC Davis and Duke University then rigged 12 birds with headgear equipped with two cameras — one aimed at one of the bird's eyes, the other at the scene in front of the animal. A w ireless transmitter mounted on the bird's back sent video from both cameras to a recorder nearby, and when those feeds were combined, a yellow dot would mark exactly where the bird's gaze was directed. Gradual daily training acc ustomed th e p e ahens t o wearing the apparatus. First, researchers fit each peahen

was placed alongside two peacocks in an outdoor enclosure. The males vied for attention with elaborate shows, shaking their wings and rattling their train of plumes, hooting and dashing toward peahens ifthe females appeared ready to mate. The scientists weren't surprised when they saw that the peahens looked at eachpeacock when it fanned its tail feathers upward. But, intriguingly, the females focused nearlycompletely on the bottom part of the train, close to the ground. They mostly ignored the conspicuous
upper fan. However, the peahens did pay attention to the upper feathers when the lower train was obscured — as it might be if the males were relatively far away and partially hidden by the dense vegetation of the birds' natural habitat in India. This suggests that the flashy upper train is mostly a long-distance attraction signal, but the lower feathers are more important to close-up courtship. "It was excitingto literally see through the eyes of the females to learn how they perceive potential mates," Yorzinski said.

spoke airports of the U.S. commercial system. In terms of the frequency of deadly accidents, the data show no statistically significant differencesbetween large airliners flown by veteran pilots who have thousands of hours of experience, and regional jets in which the captain is highly experienced but the first officer generally isn't. Commercial aviation safety overallhas never been better in the U.S., the record shows. In 2012, for the third straight year, there were no fatal accidents in the U.S. involving either major or regional airlines, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

offer signing bonuses of $5,000 Student pilot Zachary Sargent, 21, walks around a Cessna172 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Univerto $10,000 to the shrinking pool of job-seekers who meet the new minimum standards, airline officials said. Despite the mandated extra hours, these new hires still might not be ready or possess the aptitude to become professional flying aces, according to veteran airline pilots, airline flight instructors and pilot career counselors. The shortage also comes as many senior pilots working at the major airlines are reaching the mandatory retirement age of 65. The retirement wave will open up spaces for captains at the regional airlines to cross over to work at the major airlines and, in turn, create more openings for captains and first officers at the regional airlines, officials said. Onereasonforthe shortage is the exorbitant cost facing aspiring pilots, many of whom earn a starting salary of $20,000 to $25,000,sometimes less. Zach Sargent, 21, a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz., estimated his education will cost at least $250,000 to complete under the new FAA rules. The old regimen could cost many trainees $50,000 to $80,000. The reason he can pursue his careerdream is that his grandfather paid for it, he said.

The government says new, tougher commercial pilot training requirements will make the skies safer, but industry officials say they are creating crew shortages. off," said Sargent, who is from Santa Rosa, Calif., and currently has about 600 flight hours. Even with reduced requirements of 1,000 hours for college-educated pilots, the FAA is stiII "making it a longer process than it was" when he started his flight education, Sargent said, while attending the AirVenture air show recently in Oshkosh, Wis. "But I guess you can say that, with more experience, it is a little safer."
Need for pilots Pilots-in-training face these added costs at a time when the industry is ramping up hiring. In the wake of very limited pilot hiring by the major airlines over the last five years, United Airlines has slowly increased hiring pilots, and American Airlines and Delta Air Lines have announced they will restart hiring in the fall. According to some projections, as many as 10,000 pilots a year could be hired to keep pace with attrition and meet service expansion plans. A recent study by the University of North Dakota said the airlines will need to hire about 60,000 pilots by 2025. Compounding the industry's hiring challenge will be a new FAA safety rule taking effect next yearthat requires more

rest time for commercial pilots, to counter chronic fatigue that imperils safety. But it will accelerate the need for even more pilots. The FAA's enhanced pilot requirements, which the agency estimates will cost the industry and pilots $6.4 billion, took three years to finalize and were challenged by the airline industry and pilot unions much of the way. The requirements will "help mitigate the risk of a first officer transitioning to captain before he or she is ready," FAA D eputy A d m i nistrator M i chael Whitaker said at a recent meeting of the Air Line Pilots Association in Washington. Under thechanges, first officersare required to hold an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, which reflects the 1,500hour requirement. First officers were previously required to have only a commercial pilot certificate, which required 250 hours of flight time. Many safety experts question the w isdom of r a ising

Capell said the committee also discussed the legality of meeting privately. Prior to that meeting, committee members "thought we were OK (meeting privately)" because they
believed they were only going to gather information and did not have a quorum of either the City Council or park district board, Capell said. "During the meeting yesterday, Neil (Bryant) went and got the minutes. And when he read them, we kind of went, 'Oh.'" Horton said he never intended for the committee to make decisions. He wrote the motion provided to city councilors and park district board members ahead of the July vote, but said the elected officials amended the motion before voting on it.

flight-time requirements, which was the outgrowth of a congressional order in 2010, in response to the 2009 crash in Buffalo. The FAA's Aviation Rulemaking Committee had recommended that the 250 hours for co-pilots be increased to 750 hours, along with training enhancements. The major and regional airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association union supported as little as 500 hours, if they were based on military or academic training. The Regional Airline Association made the case that a pilot shortage prompted by the new rules could threaten service to about 500 communities in the U.S. that rely on regional airlines exclusively for air service. The FAA has long maintained that one level of safety exists among both the mainline airlines and the regional carriers that share the same skies and runways and provide connections among the hub-and-

"To say that 1,500 hours is the solution is simply unenlightened," Darby said. "It takes too much time, costs too much money and leaves the airlines without a supply of pilots over at least the next four years." Darby, who runs a Georgiabased aviation consulting business, said the regional airlines are "flat out of pilots."

"I don't think any of us intended forus to be a decisionmaking body, but reading the motion it seems like it is," Horton said. Park board Chairman Scott Wallace said the committee discussed questions it should answer about ownership of the dam and the land under Mirror Pond, and water rights associated with the dam. Wallace declined to explain what he meant by water rights associated with the dam. He said officials have done a good job so far on the process to determine the future of Mirror Pond. "The process on Mirror Pond to date has probably been one of the most open public outreach things that we've done, that the community's done," Wallace said. "The meeting this week is perhaps not....

TODAY'SREAD: EASTERN BLACKOUT OF 2003
IN FOCUS: MILITARY SCANDAL
Rare court-martia o aU.S. enera airs sor i etais By Craig Whitlock The Washington Post. The Associated Press file photos
The New York skyline is mostly dark in 2003 following a blackout cascading from Ohiothat affected 50 million people.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. It was an illicit and volatile love affair that spanned two war zones and four countries. The married general couldn't stay away from a captain on his staff. She fellhard for her boss a nd called h i m "Poppa Panda Sexy Pants." The three-year e ntanglement e nded d i sastrously f o r both, at a time that could not be worse for the Army. A ll th e r a w a n d s o r did details ar e s p i l ling out in an austere military courthouse here, w h ere the Army is girding — for only the third time in half a century — to court-martial one of its generals. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, an Army Ranger and p aratrooper, stands a c cused of forcible sodomy, adultery and other charges that could land him in prison. Prosecutors say he abused his command authority by sleeping with a subordinate officer, a taboo in the armed forces and a violation of military law. They charge that the relationship turned violent on two occasions. In a d d ition, S i n clair faces charges that he had inappropriate c o mmunications with t hree other female officers. Sinclair h a s p l e aded not guilty to all charges. Besides the rare spectacle of a general in the dock, however, the case poses a critical test of how the U.S. military h a ndles allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, crimes that have long bedeviled the armed forces. Congress and President Obama have demanded a crackdown, alarmed by a recent string of scandals and frank admissions by military leaders that they have systematically failed to addressthe problem. A growing f action o f lawmakers is pushing to rewrite the underpinnings of military law by giving power to uniformed prosecutors,instead of commanders, to oversee investigations of sexual abuse and other seriouscrimes. The Pentagon is resisting, arguing that commanders must retain the authority to enforceorder and discipline in their units. The last Army general to face court-martial was B rig. Gen.

o o in a c ow en mi ion were ower ess The Associated Press About 50 million people lost power Aug. 14, 2003, when a tree branch in Ohio started an outage that cascaded across a broad swath from Michigan to New England and Canada. Commuters in New York City and elsewhere had to sleep on steps, hitchhike or walk home as trains were rendered pow-
erless and gas pumps stopped working; food spoiled as refrigerators and freezers thawed;
jugs of water sold out as supply plants lost their ability to supply consumers; minds were set to wandering about terrorism fears less than two years after 9/11. Ten years later, The Associated Press asked several people: Where were you during the blackout of 2003?
Blackout baby Cara O'Neill's water broke. Then the power went out. She raced to her home in Norwalk, Conn., to meet her husband and go to the hospital. With traffic lights out, it was a harrowing drive through jammed streets. "The doctor said, 'You better come right away. We don't know how long it will take,'" she said. "It was just scary." She felt relieved when she arrived at Greenwich Hospital, which was running on a generator. "It was hotter than hell that day," she said. "The hospital at least had air." Her son was born before dawn the next day. O'Neill, 42, said she and her family recently took out newspaper articles to reminisce with her almost 10-year-old son, dubbed "the blackout baby" by local media. "We talk about it all the time," she said.
At the epicenter Marlene Anielski had a frontrow seat to the genesis of the blackout in Walton Hills, Ohio, where she was mayor in 2003. "I was taking something out of my car, and I was bending in my car and heard a loud boom and then I heard a second loud boom," said Anielski, now a Republican state representative. "I actually called 911, my police department." She thought a natural gas explosion might have destroyed a house in the hilly, tree-lined village southeast of Cleveland. Instead, it was simply the result

"There was a young man, I think he was a teenager at the time, taking a shower, and I believe that some of his appliances were smoking. The dishwasher, the m i crowave, they were smoking inside the house." The mayor went into action, offering residents without power for air conditioners onthe hot day a chanceto cool offin the village hall, which had a backup generator. She felt grateful no one in town was injured. "We could have had people electrocuted," she said. She prefers to think t h at Walton Hills didn't cause the blackout but was the unwitting middleman, "the straw that broke the camel's back that was alreadytakingplace on the grtd.
The best sandwichever Aftertwo hot, loud, windowsopen nights without power in his apartment on Manhattan's Lower East Side, George Strayton had had enough. His parents had electricity in their home in suburban Rockland County, and he learned via landline that buses were running to carry people out of town. So the screenwriter set out on foot for the Port Authority Bus Terminal, more than 3 miles away. The city felt like an urban desert, with few people or cars on the streets and no stores open to offera cooldrink, he remembers. But when he finally got to the bus terminal, he was soon on abus to atransfer point at what was then Giants Stadium in New Jersey. As he stepped off the bus, a
volunteer handed him a bottle of water and pointed out a table spread with sandwiches for the electricity exiles. Before long, Strayton was eating lunch on another bus to his destination. " It w a s slightly surreal, which is why I'll never forget the whole thing," he recalled. "Especially that pesto chicken sandwich."
More than shebargained for You know it's a r egional blackout when ... you're sleeping on the hallway floor in your own apartment because it's packed withmore than a dozen of your co-workers, roommates and friends. Joan Vollero lived in Manhattan near the children's television company where she was working when the lights went out. So she extended an invitation to colleagues wrestling with how to get to homes farther away. "I didn't realize how many p eople were going t o t a k e me up on that offer," Vollero recalled. A band of co-workerssome of whom she barely knew — joined her at the small sixthfloor, three-bedroom walk-up she shared with two r oommates. One colleague felt faint and needed a bed, so Vollero
gave up hers. "I remember it being a fun night — not a crazy night," says Vollero, now a spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney. "It was co-workers coming together in difficult circumstances and making the best of the situation."
goes out while you're in the subway, and you get stuck on a train in the dark with hundreds of strangers. For Mike Markowitz, at the time a building doorman, that became reality as his train barreled under Manhattan on his way home to Queens. Though the train got stuffy with no air conditioning, passengers stayed fairly calm as they were instructed to head to one end of the train, and then walked a short way through the tunnel before climbing up to the street, he said. Ten years later, he doesn't recall whether they e x ited through a station or o t her stairwell, or how long it took. But he does remember walking home for the next four hours - "the longest walk I ever took in my life," said Markowitz, who now works in a courthouse. "It was scary," Markowitz recalled this week, but "I don't think it was as scary as 9/11." But also he remembers a good side to the blackout: "It brought a lot of the people together in the city."
Under pressure As unnerving as the blackout was for everyday people, imagine if you were in charge of a part of the electrical grid just next door. On Aug. 14,2003, that man was Mike Kormos, vice president of operations for PJM Interconnection, the group in southeastern P e n n sylvania that oversees the electric grid for 13 states. Kormos was at a meeting away from his office when a PJM administrator called and connected him to a shift supervisor, who told him there was a blackout to the north. "I thought he was kidding," Kormos said. "I've been 25 years on this job and never got that call, and hope I never get that call again." Philadelphia and it s s u rrounding region was largely unaffected by the blackout because PJM was able to continue transmitting power while

wearing unauthorized decor ations. The Army di d n o t p ublicly disclose that D u f f had been court-martialed until months later, when Sinclair was charged. In 1999, Maj. Gen. David Hale pleaded guilty at courtmartialafter he was accused of committing adultery with the wives of f ou r s ubordinates. He was fined and demoted. Before that, no Army general had faced court-martial since 1952, when Maj. Gen. Robert Grow, a military attache in Moscow, was suspended an d re p r i manded on charges of dereliction of duty. Given the intense debate in Congress over p ossible far-reaching changes to military law, all sides are intently watching how S i nclair's court-martial plays out. It is scheduled to begin Sept. 30 after months of evidentiary hearings and pretrial wranglings that h ave f oreshadowed what is at stake. Last week, the Army finished selecting a jury of five major generals, all men, who will determine Sinclair's fate. Under military law, each juror must be senior in rank to the defendant. More than 40 generals were summoned to Fort Bragg from around the world to be interviewed. Most were rejected because they knew Sinclair or other key potential witnesses. During jury selection, lawyers forboth sides acknowledged the h e avy p o l itical pressures swirling a r o und the case. They asked the potential jurors if they were worried that they might b e p assed o ver for promotion if t h ey reached an unpopular verdict. They also questioned whether the generals could resist outside influences, such as Obama's angry comments in May, when he demanded that military sex abusers be "prosecuted, stripped out of their p o sitions, c ourt-martialed, f i r ed, d i shonorably discharged — period." Virtually all th e generals said that sexual assault is a seriousproblem in the ranks and that they had previously heard about t h e c h a r ges against Sinclair. One juror revealed that he had attended an A r m y-mandated t r a i ning session on sexual assault prevention in which Sinclair was depicted as a case study in bad behavior.

Construction crews started work this week on the largest private-sector project in Madras Municipal Airport's history: A 65,000-squarefoot aircraft storage hangar, set to be the future home of the Tillamook Air Museum. The hangar isexpected to serve a few purposes, potentially housing firefighting aircraft belonging to Aero Air, a H i llsboro aviation company that took over the lease on Madras Airport's existing 44,000-square-foot hangar in November. A permit to build the hangar hasn't been granted yet. But the city of Madras issued a temporary grading permit on July 25, giving crews the go-ahead to start preparing the site. The city expects to receive final building plans next week, said Madras Community Development Director Nicholas Snead. SeeMadras/B5

Michael Lee Hanson, a prior felon arrestedafter a Feb. 14 police chase, appeared in shackles Wednesday in a failed attempt to have the most recent case against him dismissed. Hanson's lawyer, Owyhee WeikelMagden, claimed the Deschutes County District A ttorney's Office improperly filed the charges against Hanson. "The way I see it, the four separate incidents are separate cases," Weikel-Magden said. A county grand jury indicted Hanson on 11 counts of identity theft, three counts of perjury, two counts of aggravated theft, two counts of attempting to elude police, six counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon
and related charges. The perjury counts and the Feb. 14 flight f r o m p o l ice c onstitute two separate cases, according to Weikel-Magden. In a third case, Hanson, 34, of Redmond in 2012 allegedly advertised his car-detailing services on
Livingsociabcom. Allegedly, Hanson then stole a woman's checks while detailing her car, and used them. And finally, the state alleges Hanson tried to use an account held by a car dealership to pay hi s ow n cellphone bills. Hanson allegedly bounced a check at the dealership, then asked for an account number into which he would make good the payment. The state alleges he used the account to pay his bill. SeeCharges/B5

grown from 49 percent to 53 percentofpublic safety spending, or $1.36 billion. "Our portion of the public safety pie has grown over the years," said Peters. Fewer state troopers are on the road in Oregon now than in the 1960s, she added, and some areas do not provide 24-
hour-a-day policing because of budget cuts. Prim applauded Holder for bringing the issue of removing mandatory minimums from low-level drug offenses to the public's attention. "Some statutes that mandate i n f l exible se n t ences regardless o f t h e i n d i vidual conduct at issue in a particular case — reduce the discretion available to prosecutors, judges and j u r i es. Because they oftentimes generate unfairly long sentences, they breed disrespect for the system. Wh e n ap plied i n d iscriminately, they do n o t serve public safety," Holder said. "And, applied inappropriately, they are ultimately counterproductive."

Colorado voted last year to legalize marijuana w i thout a doctor's recommendation, but Oregon rejected a similar measure. Advocates here are collecting signatures in hopes of trying again in 2014. The dispensaries bill was one of 6 6 t h a t K i t z haber signed Wednesday, although he used his line-item veto authority to erase elements of two spending bills. He deleted a provision redirecting $4.8 million of electric bill s urcharges to pay for home energy efficiency assessments, saying it's an inappropriate use of the money. He also deleted provisions that lifted caps on h e alth i n s urance spending for t e achers and state workers. Kitzhaber has signed 787 bills this year, and only one remains — a measure allowing some schools to keep their Native American mascots, which were banned by the state Board of Education.
Kitzhaber has threatened to veto it. T he b i ll , s p onsored b y R epublican R e p . Sh e r r i e Sprenger of Scio, would allow schools to keep Native American nicknames and mascots if they reach an agreement with the nearest tribe. Sprenger said K i t zhaber called her Wednesday, and she pledged to v i sit every school district with a native mascot and work on building relationships between the schools and tribes. "I used the phrase, unless 'I'm in the hospital or in a coffin, I'll be there,'" she said. Kitzhaber has until n ext week to make a decision. He could sign the bill, veto it, or do nothing and allow it to become law automatically. A spokesman for Kitzhaber, Tim Raphael, said the gove rnor d e layed a c t in g o n the bill in order to consider Sprenger's offer, but "he's still inclined to veto."

KLAMATH FALLS — On Aug. I and 2, Marc Bourdet had to send 1,100 head of cattle off his family's ranch on Modoc Point to greener pastures. It took 17 truckloads to move the cattle to better grazing ground north, in the Klamath Marsh area. "I can't believe this is happening," he said is what kept rolling through his mind. "It was an emotional day," agreed his mother, Linda Long. This year, for the first time, Bourdet chose to lease the land from his parents to run cattle "on the gain." That means someone else owns the cattle, but while they graze on Bourdet's land they gain weight. Bourdet is paid for the pounds the cattle gain. Usually the cattle ship out in early October. This year it happened two months early. The Bourdet and Long family's water was turned off June 26. Without irrigation the grass doesn't grow, the cattle don't eat and they don't gain weight. "Shipping the cattle always happens," Bourdet said, "but I guess that was the day reality
set in. This sucks." Long and Bourdet estimated there are about 4,500 head of cattle in the Modoc Point area, most of which are being sold or shipped elsewhere. "I think they've been rolling cattle pretty steadily," Bourdet sa>d.

He heard of people selling cattle in the Fort Klamath area. Long had heard of cattle leaving the Sprague River area as well. "A lot of p eople are selling their cow herds," she said. "They can't raise enough hay, can't finish the season of grazing, can't afford to keep 'em." The drought and the enforcement of water adjudication proved a one-two punch to knock out cattle ranching in the Upper Klamath Basin this year. In early June, the Klamath Tribes and Klamath Project irrigators made calls for water, leading the local watermaster to shut off irrigators in the upper Basin to keep tribal instream rights whole. Even with a few s u mmer r a instorms, Bourdet said he's barely gotten a quarter inch of water on his land in recent weeks. With-

get paid," Long said.

Cattle were trucked to this pasture in Modoc Point. Marc Bourdet was forced to move his cattle to greener pastures a week earlier. The cattle are usually sent off in October and would normally each be150 pounds heavier.
"They got half their rent," Bourdet said. "So our bank got half its payment and we're scrounging to get the other half," Long said. "It's a vicious cycle," Bourdet said, "but it goes right down the drink." What's next? Long asked Bourdet, if he

He hopes the stubby grass with a bit of green left in it will be enough to feed the animals forthe restofthe season. "We think the ranch'll hold that long," he said. "You can see it in that field right there, that should have six inches of grass in it right now."
Shipping the 1,100 cattle early meant they lost out on gaining about 120 pounds each. That is about a third of the total weight the cattle would have gained in a summer. Bourdet moved the cattle before the grass got thin enough that the cattle could have lost weight. "That's why we moved them when we did," he said. "We didn't want them to start going

G RANTS PASS — T h e sheriff o f M a l heur C ounty says the FBI will investigate whether deputiesacted properly when they pulled over an animal rights activist who had been taking photos of a controversial rodeo event known as horse tripping. Sheriff Brian Wolfe said on Wednesday that he is turning over videos and other materials to the FBI. F BI spokeswoman B e t h Anne Steel said they became aware of t h e s i tuation on Wednesday, but sh e c o uld not comment o n w h e ther t hey w er e c o nducting a n investigation. Wolfe acknowledged that two deputies, acting on ordersfrom a supervisor,pulled over Steve Hindi, president of Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, to get his name after he was told not to shoot video at the Big Loop Rodeo in Jordan Valley last May. Wolfe said there was no traffic violation or evidence of any other crime. Deputy Brian Belnap and Deputy Brian Beck were on duty and f o l lowing o rders from theirsupervisor, Lt.Rob Hunsucker, Wolfe said. There
was no probable cause a crime or traffic violation had been committed. No one has been disciplined or placed on leave, he said. The g r oup, k n o w n as SHARK, has asked the attorney general to investigate. Spokesman Jeff Manning said Wednesday no one in the officehad seen the request. SHARK posted videos of the traffic stop online, secured from the sheriff's office through a public records request, along with Hindi's account of events. The sheriff's office video i ncludes comments from deputies saying they expected to be sued, and blaming the rodeo board. SHARK, based in Geneva, Ill., has been campaigning for 20 years to stop animal cruelty at rodeos. In 2012, an activist went to Jordan Valley and shot video of the rodeo, including a horse that broke a leg in a bucking event, Hindi said. The group was primarily interested in the horse roping event, where one cowboy throws a lasso around the horse's head, and another ropes the front legs, sometimes forcing the horse to fall. The Jordan Valley rodeo has been the only one in Oregon to offer the event.
Two activists returned to the rodeo inMay. When one of them was recognized, they were told t o s top shooting video even though local people who supported the rodeo were allowed to shoot video, Hindi said. One of the activists stopped, but the other didn't and was arrested. Hindi arrived the next day, and was using a digital camera capable of video to shoot still photos. He said he also was told not to videotape the rodeo, and when he pointed out that he was only shooting photos, he was told to return his camerato his carorleave. Hindi saidpolice were standing by during the altercation. "I said, 'Listen, this is just un-American. Give me my $5 back and I'll just leave,'" he recounted. "They gave me my $5 back and I left." While driving out of town, two deputies followed him for 10 miles before pulling him over, taking down his name and the identification number of his personal car, though he was driving a rental car, he said. The Legislature this year outlawed roping horses by the legs for entertainment. It has been signed into law by the governor.

to find a solution so he can keep ranching, and keep the Klamath Basin economy gomg, he said. "If yo u r u i n a g r iculture, farming, there's not much log-
ging anymore and those are the three biggest industries in the Basin," he said. "Once those are gone, there goes the Basin, pretty much." For the rest of the season, Bourdet will do odd jobs for other ranches. But he considers his stint at running a herd on his family's land done for the year. Without the ability to irrigate, he lost out on two months when the cattle would have had good gain, and then he lost two months of fall pasture. "This pretty much cut my season in half," he said. "It'd be like getting fired the first of December with Christmas coming and 20 people to buy presents for. It'd be about like running into Christmas with no job and no prospects."

up. Statewide, the unfunded liability runs into the billions of dollars. Linked directly to that is what money is available not only for teachers, but for firemen, police-
men and social workers and roads. If government agencies must put more of their money into PERS, they cannot spend to provide the other servicesOregonians agree they need. Finally, there's small business. Small businesses provide well over half the jobs in this country, Oregon included, and they've been particularly hurt by the recession. According tothe Oregon Labor Market Information System, Oregon lost more than 5 percent of its small businesses from 2007 through 2011. Republicans have pushed for tax breaks targeted at that group. We can understandthe temptation to politicians on all sides to balk at a Kitzhaber-generated grand bargain. Scoring wins is, after all, one of the things politicians do. In this case, however, they need to recognize that real power can come fromdoing realgoodfrom continuing to work to solve the problems that will continue to cast shadows on our future until they're solved.
Focus onhealth care, not 'patient experience' ational health reform is putting a new spotlight on patient satisfaction, because hospitals get more money if their patients are happy. Unfortunately, investments in happiness don't necessarily have any impacton good medical care. We'd rather see those payroll dollars spent on highly trained medical caregivers than on smiling greeters and navigators. San Francisco General hospital has hired greeters and trained them to address patients by name rather than number, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. The hospital has upgraded televisions, improved food in the cafeteria and hired a new "chief patient experience officer." The interest in patient satisfaction grows from federal provisions that link hospital reimbursements to results of patient surveys and other clinical measures. The Times reports that about $1 billion in payments are on the line. It's not that we're against patient-friendly approaches. In fact, we think that should be a given, not
N
an expensive new initiative. Our worry is that exciting, feelgood initiatives like this could squeeze out emphasis on the critical but mundane staffing and training at the core of the hospitals' mission. Our anxiety is heightened by reports like the one this week in The Oregonian about a veteran who died, possibly because a low-level staffer didn't recognize the signs of his internal bleeding. The Roseburg VA Medical Center where Ray Velez underwent a routine hernia operation in June had a larger percentage of lower-level nurses on staff than other VA centers, according to the newspaper's report. Velez died of cardiac arrest while in an ambulance traveling to Eugene for higher level care unavailable at the Roseburg VA center, the Oregonian sard. Much is unknown about Velez's death, and it's unfair to link any individual case to broader policy issues.But the case is a sharp reminder of where federal policy and the hospital's focus need to be: not on our happiness, but on our health.

tem, hurting schools and local governments across the state. The L e gislature a djourned July 8,and since then Gov. John Kitzhaber has worked with lawmakers to try again. So far he's b een unsuccessful, an d n o w there's talk that Republicans, at least, may be better off politically with failure than with reform. We'd hate to see anyone, Republican, Democrat or member of the Pacific Green party, use the issues to make political hay in the next election. They are simply too important for all Oregonians. Like it or not, the state's public pension fund is in a world of hurt and that in turn hurts nearly every government body,from rural fire protection districts to school districts to the state itself. The fund lost money during the recent recession and government agencies now must make that money

Fair Tax is the answer to Oregon's problems The recent HHow did we get here?" H news article said, Oregon's budget depends predominantly and unpredictably on income taxes," making
planning ahead very challenging. That is understandable given the ups and downs of personal income during business cycle fluctuations. It should be noted, however, that spending has much less variation during these economic ups and downs, and, therefore, would provide a more stable source of income for the state if it were taxed. Enter The Fair Tax, a tax on consumption. Not to be confused with the usual sales tax, The Fair Tax, as outlined in HR25, a proposed national tax on consumption, makes provision for low income persons and, due to a "prebate" provision, turns out to be a progressive, graduated tax that increases as spending increases. Current taxpayers would pay less because it enlarges the tax base. If state legislators promised Oregon voters that all income taxes would be eliminated, it is just possible that a law of this type would be acceptable to those who traditionally have voted against anything that looks like a sales tax. A Fair Tax law should be considered for Oregon as a replacement for the state income tax. Patrick Burkett Bend

Integrative Me icine ocuses on whole patient By Heather Krantz, M.D. ntegrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, health care professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing (definition by the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine). These may sound to some like lofty goals. Others would insist that we already do this in the practice of medicine. I think the answer is somewhere in between. Over the last 50 years, things have changed dramatically i n m e dical practice. When my parents went to the doctor, it was a direct doctor-patient relationship where the doctor knew all about you and your family — where you worked, what religion you practiced, whether you
t
had financial problems and whether your children were troublemakers in school. The doctor knew what stresses existed in your life because he or she really knew you as a person. This type of intimacy may be a thing of the past, but there is a way to reinstate even a small part of this

The Associated Press PORTLAND — A samesex couple in Oregon who t ried to buy a c a k e f o r their wedding has filed a discrimination c omplaint against the b akery t h at turned them down on reli-
sequoias. Since the 1970s, some coast redwoods have grown at the fastest rate ever, according to scientists who studied corings from trees more than 1,000 years old. "That's a wonderful, happy surprise for us," said Emily Burns, science director at the Save the Redwoods League, which is collaborating on a long-term study with university researchers on the effect of climate change on redwoods, the world's tallest trees, and giant sequoias, the largest living things by total mass. Researchers doing f i eldwork for the study also made a bonus discovery. They came across an ancient, shaggy tree that corings revealed to be the oldest coast redwood on record. At 2,520 years of age, the ancient tree beats the previous record-holder by 300 years. Humboldt State f orestry professor Stephen Sillett, one of the researchers, said a variety of factors besides climate change could explain the increased growth rates. "We really do not know,"

Redwood samples piled up in the lab at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif. California's beloved giant redwood trees are in the midst of an unprecedented growth spurt, according to a climate study released Wednesday.
The state Bureau of Labor and Industries will investigate whether Sweet Cakes by Melissa violated a 2007 state law that protects the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and trans-
gender peoplein employSillett said. "What we can say is that ... it's not like a doom and gloom scenario." Scientists established 16 research plots in old-growth redwood and sequoia stands throughout their range — the west slopes of the southern Sierra Nevada for giant sequoias and a narrow coastal strip extending from Big Sur to southwestern Oregon for redwoods. By taking pencil-thin corings from 78 redwoods and studying tree r i n gs, t h ey have compiled a chronology going back to the year 328. They have also a nalyzed tree rings from giant sequoi-
as dating to 474. Together, the information provides a profile of historic growth rates and weather, revealing that redwood trunk growth in recent decades has shattered records. The trunks are adding girth — annual wood production in one tree alone was the equivalent of several million pencils — and storing large amounts of carbon dioxide. When it comes to climate change, Sillett said, "I'm more worried about humans than I am about redwoods. I think they're going to hold their own.
Regardless, lawmakers will meet in the interim, before the next legislative session in February, to vet concepts and ideas that often guide the crafting of future legislation. Knopp, who was also a lawmaker in the early part of the decade, noted that in 2002 the interim committee was key in crafting legislation that made drastic changes to PERS in 2003. The i n terim g a therings matter, he noted. The next legislative days are scheduled
for Sept. 16, 17and 18. Many of Central Oregon's delegation will continue to sit on the committees on which they served during the regular session. For example, Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, will remain on the House Revenue Committee and House Republican Leader Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, will have a hand inbudget matters on the Joint Ways and Means Committee.

jones was former chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff By Richard Goldstein New York Times News Service
Gen. David Jones, who as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the
FEATURED Carter a n d eagan . 'd OBITUARY ministrations helped set in
motion a sweeping reorganization of the nation's military command, died Saturday in Potomac Falls, Va. He was 92. The cause was Parkinson's disease, his daughter Kathy Franklin said Wednesday. Jones served longer than any predecessor on the Joint Chiefs, first as the Air Force chief of s taff (1974-78) and then as chairman (1978-82). It was under his watch during the Carter administration that a mission torescue 53 American hostages in Iran ended in disaster.
Jones was a bomber pilot in the Korean War, but he represented a new generation of officers whose rise in the military hierarchy owed more totheir administrative and s trategic planning skills than to their combat exploits. In "Four Stars," his history of the Joint Chiefs published in 1989, Mark Perry wrote that Jones had earned a reputation
as "a good service manager" who "welcomed change" when he was selected as Air Force chief of staff by President Richard Nixon in 1974. "Jones looked and acted the part of an Air Force generala much more important quality for an officer who appears with
frequencybeforecongressional committees than many people will admit." Early in 1982, near the end
of hi s s e cond t wo-year t e r m as chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Jones proposed f ar - r e a c h i n g Jones changes aimed at enhancingthechairman's influence while curbing interservice rivalry. Though his proposals drew opposition, the military reorganization he envisioned became a reality through an act of Congress in 1986. Behind the legislation were concerns over divided military command authority a r ising from the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the failed hostagerescue mission. The Iran debacle, in April 1980, was an especially humiliating blow t o A m erican prestige. Of the eight American helicopters sent on the mission,
three broke down early in its first stages during a sandstorm. After the mission had been called off, one of the remaining helicopters collided on the ground with a transport plane and both craft burned. Eight servicemen died in the fire. Afterward, at a news conference with Jones, Defense Secretary Harold Brown said that "the mission was complex and difficult" but that "it was the judgment of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself that it was operationally feasible." The New York Times reported in December 1980 that some Republican s enators were known to have asserted in private that Jones should have resigned the previous spring after the abortive mission. Ronald Reagan made the failure an issue in his success-
ful 1980 campaign to deny Carter a second term. The hostages were not released until the day of Reagan's inauguration, 444 days after they were taken captive. Conservative R epublicans in Congress further criticized Jones for supporting Carter's cancellation of the Air Force BI bomber project, for backing the administration's Panama Canal treaties and for endorsing its negotiations aimed at a strategic arms agreement with the Soviet Union. Jones said he had felt a constitutional obligation to voice support for his civilian superiors in public no matter what advice he might have given privately. He was kept on by Reagan until his retirement in July 1982, when he completed his second term as chairman.
By then Jones had begun his effort to reorganize the interservice command structure. In the past, the five members — a chairman,who could come from any ofthe services, andthe top commanders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marineshad tried to achieve unanimity in making recommendations to the president. But the unitedfront approach was criticized as a recipe forcompromise
among services competing for missions at the expense of wellconceived plans. "Someone once wrote that long-term planning is almost anti-American," Jones told The New York Times in February 1982. "We have not done as well as other countries in long-term planning. That's true in government, it's true in business, and it's true in the military."

Pro triathlete Heather Jackson poses with her mountain bike in Bend on Monday.
No problem. She played with the boys, honing her skills to the point where she became a twotime captain for the women's team at Princeton University and was invited to a tryout camp for the U.S. women's national squad. Running the 2005 New York City Marathon in the middle of her senior ice hockey season in college, Jackson swore her roommate tosecrecy — she did not think her coach would be too pleased — hopped the train from New Jersey into the city, finished the race in under four hours, rode back to campus the same day and was in her skates and pads for hockey practice lessthan 24 hours later.To cap the week off, she posted two assists five days later in a 4-1 hockey win over Ohio State.

Wie in spotlight again aspick for Solheim CLjp By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press
PARKER, Colo. — Michelle Wie hasn't won a tournament in three years. She didn't come close to earning a spot on the Solheim Cup. Being a captain's pick for the second time on the past three American teams stood out even more this year because one of the players left out won on the LPGA Tour this year. This would seem to be a good time to do whatever she can to blend in at Colorado Golf Club. Except for the socks. Wie added her own touch to the U.S. uniform of a khaki skirt, red shirt and a blue cap. She showed up on the practice range with knee-high socks of red-and-white stripes capped off by a thick blue stripe with white stars. "It's a bit patriotic," Wie said Wednesday. "I just kind of accumulate things over the year. I see things and I'm like, 'Oh, that would be great for Solheim Cup.' And I just brought them out." It's far more important that she bring out her very best game as the Americans try to stay perfect on home soil and win back the Solheim Cup from Europe. SeeWie/C4

A pro since 2010 — she graduated from Princeton in 2006 with a political science degree and taught English in Thailand and then ninthgrade world history in San Jose, Calif., before j u mping full time into triathlons — Jackson has seen her career take off over the past 24 months.

It's not like 30 minutes in San Diego traffic, it's absolutely gorgeous." Jackson says she does most of her r unning at Shevlin Park west of Bend, and the two have incorporated into their training regimen both the vast mountain bike trail system near Bend and the almost endless number of back roads near Prineville that are perfect for road cycling. "With Shevlin, you can go out there for an hour run or be out there for two hours and not see anyone. And the loops there are perfect for j udging progress," says Jackson, whose first visit to Bend was to see her brother Bobby, a brewer at 10 Barrel Brewing Co. Jackson, who trains fulltime, says one day she would like to compete for a world title in Kona, Hawaii, in the Ironman World Championships — a full Ironman event with a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run. But she adds that a move to the longer distance is still probably years away. "Yeah, the ultimate goal is Kona, but w e 'l l w e i gh when to best approach it," says Jackson, who has competed at Kona twice as an amateur. "The immediate goal, though, is a 70.3 world championship." — Reporter: 541-383-0305, beastes@bendbulletin.com.

But this past May, Steve traveled to Lucerne Valley, Calif., and met up with Holli, as well as Ron's children Skylar and Dalton, for the McKenzie 500. Steve and nephew Dalton, 19 and of Rialto, Calif., raced as a team in the 500-miler in Ron's Class 10 off-road car. After 150 miles, Dalton was overcome with emotion and had Steve finish the race.

TRACK & FIELD: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Former Ducktakes track 33 years after dad didn't By Pat Graham
The Associated Press
M OSCOW — N e arly 3 3 years later, a Centrowitz fam-
ily member finally stepped inside Luzhniki Stadium and started a major race. With a freshly buzzed haircut, University o f O r e gon product Matthew C entrowitz easily advanced out of his first-round 1,500-meter heat at the world championships on Wednesday, taking a couple of laps that his father never got to run. For the senior Centrowitz, who goes by Matt, his son's presence in the Russian capital almost seemed full circle since the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics prevented him from racing in the 5,000 meters at the same stadium. And for the son, his fast trip around the track felt like he was running for them both. In a way, he was. Leading up to the race, Centrowitz couldn't help but think of his father and what he possibly could have accomplished had he competed in Moscow a ll those years ago at t h e
Olympics. "He missed his chance of competing well, because he was running well that year," said the younger Centrowitz, who was a surprise bronze medalist at the 2011 worlds in South Korea. "It's a little weird thinking about that coming in." Centrowitz's race was one of the few events on an abbreviated day at the world championships. Dwight Phillips qualified for the long jump final in his attempt to win five world titles, and Robert Heffernan of Ireland won the only medal on Wednesday's program in the men's 50-kilometer walk. All that happened with the elder Centrowitz thousands of miles away. Matt Centrowitz t h ought about attending the worlds so he could share the moment with his son. He just couldn't get on that plane. No, not because of any bitterness — "I really don't visit that memory too much," he said in a phone interviewbut rather due to his commitments at work. He's the longtime trackand cross country coach at American University in Washington, D.C., and had to host potential recruits this week. "This i s s t il l v e r y c o o l, whether I'm there in the stands or not," said Centrowitz, who planned to watch every step of hisson's races despite the eight-hour t i m e d i ff erence. "That's my son, and it's track — two great things." Back in his day, the elder Centrowitz was quite an accomplished runner, qualifying for the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. "Got knocked out so dang early, though," he said. Then the next season, he led the University of Oregon to an NCAA cross-country title. The father would've been in the hunt for a medal in Moscow had the U.S. participated. He was in good shape at the time. The decision by President Jimmy Carter to boycott came after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and caused lingering bitterness between the two countries for years. There's no lingering animosity with the elder Centrowitz.
Irishmanwins50K walk atworlds MOSCOW — Robert Heffernan pulled away in the last10 kilometers to
win the gold medal in the 50-kilometer walk Wednesday, giving lreland its first
world championship title in 30 years. Heffernan's gold came 30 years to the dayafter Eamonn Coughlan won the 5,000 meters in 1983.
The walk beganshortly after an early-morning storm and finished in warm
sunshine 3 hours, 37 minutes, 56 seconds later, the time it took Heffernan to
cover the grueling distance. He was fourth at last year's
Olympics. Mikhail Ryzhov of Russia took the silver, 1:02 behind, and Jared Tallent
of Australia, silver medalist at the past two Olympics, had to settle for bronze,
2:07 back. Healso won the bronze at the worlds two
years ago. With no evening session, the walk was the only
medaleventW ednesday. In the morning session, Dwight Phillips of the United States stayed on
course for a possible fifth world title by qualifying for the final of the long jump.
Phillips jumped 7.95meters, his personal best this
season.

cott of the games from celebrities to activists. "I almost fell off the couch when I first heard talk of that," the elder Centrowitz said. "I can't believe they think that's the smart way to solve it. The last thing you want to see is another athlete to be taken away from what they do because of politics. I hope that never happens to anyone else." Running seems to, well, run in the Centrowitz family. The older Centrowitz was a high school star in Manhattan, setting numerous state records, before heading off to
Oregon and embarking on a
pro career. He married Beverly, who ran track at Hunter College in New York and was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame. And their daughter Lauren was an eight-time All-American at Stanford. Then there's Matthew, who followed in his father's footsteps all the way to Oregon. Once there, he gauged his progress not against his dad but through the late Steve Prefontaine, an iconic figure in track. Then again, what Ducks distance runner doesn't? Centrowitz certainly looked c ool and composed in h i s opening race, but needed a strong kick at the end to move up into qualifying position. "It was a rust-buster," the younger Centrowitz said. "I always look at the first round as one of the tougher ones, getting going and stuff like that." About six years ago, the elder Centrowitz went to Moscow to visit a friend and toured all the tourist attractions. But he didn't go near the stadium. "Didn't need to see that," he explained. "Sometimes, things out of your control interfere. "My life goes way beyond You have injuries that don't my Olympic experience," the make sense — a bicycle can dad said. "My running experi- run over you or a dog can trip ences go far beyond the Olym- you. It's a cruel sport. "But I have a great life. Being pics.

Deere & Company(DE) Wednesday's close:$82.34 Total return YTD: -4%
anticipates equipment sales falling about 5 percent as it faces a tough year-ago comparison because factories were working quickly to catch up with customer orders at that time. The Moline, III., company foresees full-year equipment sales rising approximately 5 percent and agriculture and turf sales increasing about 7 percent. Construction and forestry equipment sales are predicted to drop about 8 percent, mostly due to a cautious outlook on U.S. economic growth.

urozone econom en s recession By David Jolly New York Times News Service
PARIS — Europe broke out of recession in the second quarter of the year, official data showed Wednesday, amid stronger domestic demand in France and Germany, ending a six-quarter downturn that has sapped confidence and thrown millions of people out of work. The grossdomestic product
of the 17-nation eurozone grew by 03 percent in the AprilJune periodfrom the previous three months, when the economy contractedby 0.3 percent, accordingtoa reportfrom Eurostat, the statistical agency of the European Union. That was slightly better than the 0.2 percent growth that economists had been expecting. On an annualized basis, the eurozone grew by about 1.2
percentin the second quarter, short of the 1.7 percent second-quarter showing by the United States and 2.6 percent in Japan, but nonetheless a relief to the Continent, which has weathered an unemployment rate that has risen to 12.1 percent and a sovereign debt crisis that raised existential questions about the euro. "It's not the end of the problems," said Ralph Solveen, an
economist at Commerzbank in Frankfurt, Germany."But the technical recession is over." The economy as a whole of the European Union, which consists of 28 nations, also grew by 0.3 percent in the second quarter. Germany grew by 0.7 percent, after stagnating in the first quarter. The gains were ledby demand from households and government,
the Federal Statistical Office reportedfrom Wiesbaden. France, which had declined for the two previous quarters, posted0.5 percent quarterly growth, as household spending grew and companies increased exports of goods and services, although investment declined slightly. Pierre Moscovici, the French finance minister, noted that it was the best showing sincethe firstquarterof2011.
$512 million. The move raised eyebrows both in the
ALitomakers
world of music and on Wall Street. But Paulson said that the calculation
toprovide online recall information bY 2014
was rather simple — he loves the pianos.
"I've always beenenamored with the product," Paulson said in an interview Wednesday. — From wire reports

Preston Thompson, part owner of PK Thompson Guitars, currently makes handmade guitars out of his Bend home. But Thompson and his partners, Dan Stewart and David Blakeslee, are planning to open a manufacturing facility in Sisters to boost production.
By Rachael Rees • The Bulletin
or 10 years, Preston Thompson hand-built acoustic guitars, many that made their way into PrOfeSSiOnal PlayerS' handS. And after a twa-deCade hiatuS When hiS rePutatiOn COntinued
to grow in his absence, Thompson is back in business with plans to ramp up production in a new facility in Sisters. Everything Thompson needsthousands of tools ranging from sanders and rulers to a spray booth and chopsticks — is currently sandwiched into a 400-square-foot space on the top story of his Bend home. "Some of the things we have that I operate with in here are fine for a small number of guitars," he said, noting he'sbeen making about a dozen guitars a year in the space since 2011. "But when we get up into a few more instruments, we'll have to increase our power." Thompson formed an LLC, PK Thompson Guitars, with guitar enthusiasts Dan Stewart and David Blakeslee in September 2012 and hopes to boost production to between 60 and 100 guitars a year. His speciality: bringing vintage guitars like the Martin D-28 back to life. "Most of my instruments are patterned after the instruments made between 1929 and 1939," he said. "It sounds so specific, but there was kind of this perfect storm that came together of ingredients, artistry, design and craftsmanship in that particular
era that really created probably the most valuable and sought-after guitars period, for acoustic guitars." Because only a limited number of guitars were made during that era, he said, they are difficult for collectors and players to get their hands on. "Most of those vintage instruments ... are either locked up and vaulted away someplace or ... they're just very, very expensive," he said, adding the costcan range from $60,000 to $250,000. "But people want that tone, that look and that playability." Thompson said his guitars range from $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the model, the detail and the type of wood. "It's a lot of money, but it's substantially less" than vintage instruments, he said. Since here-entered the business, Thompson said, the industry has become more profitable for smaller guitar makers like himself. "Back in the '70s and '80s when I was doing this before, people might pay in the neighborhood between $1,500 to $2,000 for a handmade in-
strument," he said. Thompson plans to continue direct sales online but also wants to have his guitars sold at hand-picked retailers throughout the world in predominate music hubs, as well as in Central
Oregon. "Music stores can do something for you that you just can't do for yourself, even with a website," he said. "Some people want to play that guitar before it's delivered because every guitar is
different. Every (guitar) is going to have a little bit of a different personality and so a lot of players want to walk in and fall in love with a guitar that is already made, versus ordering one." For right now, Thompson said his goal is to get his guitars back on the market and let acoustic guitar enthusiasts know he's back in business. And once he moves into a new facility, he expects to take on a handful of staff to help him build and run the operation. "Luckily my reputation hung around from when I did this before," he said. "We want to capitalize on that." — Reporter: 541-617-7818, rrees@bendbulletin.com
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators said Wednesday that they will require automakers and motorcycle manufacturers to provide consumers a free, online means of searching for recall information by punching in their vehicle identification numbers. Detroit's three automakers — GeneralMotors, Ford and Chrysler — already offer such a service, but, starting next year, theirs will be linked along with others' via a Web portal on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's site, Safercar.gov. In a news release Wednesday, NHTSA said it will require all manufacturers to provide such an online tool by Aug. 14, 2014. Some, but not all, automakers already offer such a search tool through their own websites. Recall information by vehicle identification number (or VIN) will have to be updated at least weekly, under NHTSA's ruling. Currently, Safercar.gov offers only generalsearches by vehicle make and model year. "Owners and potential buyers alike will soon be able to identify whether a safety recall for their specific vehicle is incomplete," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. The new search feature will allow consumers to tell whether a specific vehicle is subject to a recall and whether it has received the recall remedy or not. Under the rule to be posted on the Federal Register, largevolume car, light truck and motorcyclemanufacturers will have to allow consumers to search uncompleted safety recalls by VIN. Manufacturers will also be required to provide vehicle owners direct notices of recalls within 60 days of notifying NHTSA a recall is underway. By providing the information and linking Safercar.gov with automakers' websites, it is hoped even more consumers react to recall notices. Gloria Bergquist, at the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, said providing recall information on manufacturers' websites — rather than creating a separate government database — "is both effective and saves duplication of efforts."

to worn-out knees By Landon Hall The Orange County Register
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Denise Olson danced at her daughter's wedding. That might not sound like a profound accomplishment, but it was a moment she could only dream of a

earlier. Arthritis had worn away so much of the cartilage in Olson's right knee that it was just
bone grinding on bone. The pain had steadily worsened for two years, making it difficult for her to walk up the stairs of her home. She teaches first grade in Irvine, and it was tough to meet the all-day needs of 30 kids when she could barelyrise from her chair. On April 23, she had total knee replacement surgery. Four weeks later, she was back in class. On July 13, her daughter Lauren got married, and Denise was able to walk down the aisle. During the reception when Denise and her husband, Chad, were sitting together, the DJ played "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones, which happens to be the couple's

song. "Just the two of us got up and danced on the floor. It was wonderful," said Olson, 54. "I got to dance with my daughter and my son-in-law. And the party went on until the closing hours." Better implants, improved surgical techniques and a more in-depth understanding of how to treat a patient's pain during and after surgery have helped make total knee replacements available to a wider patient
base, from younger people like Olson to long-suffering seniors. The evolution of the procedurecomes ata time of surging demand: About 600,000 total knee replacements were performed in the U.S. last year, and that number is expected to increase to 3.5 million a year by 2030. "The need for surgery is exploding," said Dr. James Caillouette, surgeon in chief at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine. Shorter hospital stays and faster, less painful recovery periods have made the operation popular among patients who are both older and younger than used to be the norm for such candidates. Baby boomers are hitting the age at which their knees are wearing out, and they're not willing to give up their active lifestyles without a fight. "I would say at least half of my patient population is under 65," Caillouette said. See Knees/E6

• Obesity is a chronic lifelong condition that is the result of an environment of
trolled by our genes. Studies on adopted children and on twins raised apart have illustrated that body weight is like-
caloric abundance and relative physical inactivity, regulated by
a susceptible genetic makeup. • For people who are genetically predisposed to gain weight,
preventing obesity is important. This may require individualized interventions and
greater support to be successful in maintaining a healthy weight.

ly inherited. In this era of genetic testing, scientists have isolated a handful of specific genes linked to obesity. This could give a person the idea that being overweight or obese is out of his or her control. But a newer concept in science suggests a person has some influence over how those weight-regulating genes express themselves. Fat genes ResearchersatBoston Children's Hospital recently identified a genetic mutation in mice that appeared to regulate metabolism and food consumption and promote obesity. A similar genetic mutation in what's called the MRAP2 gene has been found in extremely obese humans. For the study, published in the journal Science last month, mice with the genetic mutation gained weight while eating the same amount of food as their normal-sized counterparts. "These mice aren't burning the fat, they're somehow holding onto it," said the study's lead investigator, Dr. Joseph Majzoub, chief of endocrinology at Boston Children's Hospital, in a news release. "Mice with the genetic mutation gained more weight, and we found similar mutations in a cohort of obese humans." The gene at the center of this new study is one of many that has been found to be involved with obesity, said Dr. Jonathan Purnell, an endocrinologist and professor of endocrinology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. At least 32 gene mutations have been as-

shock, according to a new pnvate study. Many other people, however, earn too much money to be eligible for help and could end up paying more. The estimate, being released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, tries to answer oneofthe biggest remaining questions about the impact of Obama's law on American families: Will consumers wince — or even balk — when they see the premiums for the new plans'? The study found that 48 percent of families currently buying their own coverage would be eligible for tax credits next year, averaging $5,548 per family, or 66 percent of theaverage cost ofa benchmark "silver" policy offered through new state insurance markets. "About half of the people won't be paying the sticker price," said Gary Claxton, director of the health care marketplace project at Kaiser, an information clearinghouse on the health care system. "The people who get help will get quite a lot of help." "Many, but certainly not all, of the people who don't get tax credits will pay more," he said. "How much more will be a function of a lot of different things." For example, some people who don't qualify for tax credits may get jobs that offer coverage, added Claxton, a co-author of the study.

Starting with I n diana . in 2001, a total of 34 states and the District of Columbia have enacted autism insurance mandates,requiring carriers within their borders to provide coverage of ABA and other autism treatments in some or all of their policies. States require insurers to cover nearly 2,300 categories of illness, treatments, and screenings. Every state with an autism mandate requires i nsurers to cover ABA f o r state employees. Beyond that, state laws vary widely. Some apply only to individual health policies, while others include small group and large corporate policies. (No state mandates apply to the self-funded
policies large employers typically offer, which is the type of coverage one-quarter of insured Americans have.) Last year, the federal gov-

Genes Continued from E1 "We're getting more sophisticated and understanding regions of our genes that we consider risks for obesity," Purnell said. "But we're still in ... an early state o f u n d erstanding the complexities. There might be 200 more genes to be discovered."
Epigenetics Epigenetics, a hot topic in research these days, suggest that certain e n vironmental factors — dietary choices, exercise habits, stress levels, maternal health — can influence and change how a person's genes function, including his or her obesity genes. Much of the research that focuses ona single gene's role in obesity is i n c o nnection with rare, morbid obesity that begins early in life. That's almost a different disease than what most overweight Americans are dealing with, said Jackie Shannon, a nutritional scientist with the Center for Research o n O c c upational and Environmental Toxicol-
ogy and associate professor with Oregon Health 8 Science University, who is based at St. Charles Bend. The more common problem today is moderate obesity, and the question is, according to Shannon: "Is epigenetics connected?" It appears that some peopleare more genetically susceptible to being overweight. But they may have some ability to modify their predisposition through environment and lifestyle, Shannon said. Researchers are working to understand all the potential biological pathways to weight regulation. It's already known that genes influence some weight-regulating hormones. For example, gene variations can disrupt the functioning of leptin, a protein hormone that

plays a key role in regulating hunger, metabolism and behavior. There are probably many undiscovered con n ections between genes and weight, Shannon said, "but we don't know what they all are." Yet. Shannon said researchers are getting closer to understanding the ramifications of various gene mutations and how people should modify t heir behavior to lessen their associated risks. For example, a large study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2012 examined the combination of obesity-risk genes and intake of sweetened beverages and found those "with greater consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may be more susceptible to genetic effects on (body fat). Viewed differently, persons with a greater genetic predisposition to obesity appeared tobe more susceptible to the deleterious effects of sugar-sweetened b e verages on BMI." Prior to the understanding of epigenetics, Shannon said she would have mostly blamed genetics for obesity. Now, she said she also believes "the environment plays a really important role."

Therapy is a great way to get you started, safely. Your physical therapists will thoroughly evaluate your posture, strengths, weaknesses, tight muscles and movement patterns to determine what you might be doing that is causing your problem and interfering with your efforts for exercise.
Then, your physical therapist will prescribe very specific exercises for you. Your P.T. will help monitor your progress with what works, and sometimes what isn't working, and guide you on a path to wellness so that you can engage in regular exercise that is invigorating and not causing more problems. Physical Therapy is usually covered by your health insurance, and although your physical therapist can treat you without a physician's order, most insurances require an order from your m e dical p r a ctitioner.

ANswFR: Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL) also known as Fecal Incontinence is not a part of the aging process. Many common causes include inappropriate diet, frequent diarrhea/constipation or damage to the rectum or surrounding nerves. Jana VauAmburg, A b ABL is a complex medical issue and there are M.p,,FAcs a variety of therapy options available to help control bowel leakage. Typically treatment begins with conservative therapy. Dietary changes such as adding fiber or avoiding coffee, tea, and chocolate can help regulate the digestive tract. Medications can be taken to assist in regulating bowel movements. There are also bowel training exercises such as biofeedback as well as Kegel or pelvic floor exercises that may be tried. If conservative therapy is mildly effective or ineffective, there is now a bulking agent called Solesta that can be injected into the anal walls to thicken the tissues and prevent stool from passing through unintentionally. This is a painless procedure that can be done in the office without anesthesia. It is a safe option to surgical intervention. Surgery should be reserved for patients with ABL when other conservative treatments have failed. Fecal Incontinence is not a natural part of life. Don't let ABL control your life. Call your doctor today to ask about treatment.

QUEsTioN: I have been using diet foods with artificial sweeiners io help lose weight, but now I am hearing that they may noi really be that healthy for me.
ANswER: In July, an article appeared which reviewed recent research papers, revealing that artificial sweeieners were linked io an increased risk of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and MaryHuntsman, cardiovascular disease. Just drinking one diet a drink a day was enough io create a significantly heightened chance of developing one of t hese disorders, the researchers found. Artificial sweeteners were also shown to activate difTereni patterns in the brain's pleasure centers that normally correspond io sweet tastes. This may mean that these products do not satisfy our sweet tooth as much as natural sugar. One study found non-caloric sweeteners made animals eat increased amounts of calorie-rich sweet tasting food. In the end, the animals exposed to artificial sweeteners gained more weight.
This is something to consider when choosing a weight loss program. We recommend a program that is built around using whole foods, and not using the artificial sweetners listed above. Patients can see a weight loss of 1-2 lbs. a week, having decreased cravings, more energy, and build confidence that they can maintain their weight loss because they are already eating real food and don't have to change over from prepared and pre-packaged food. •

THE FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS TEETH
types of food, ranging from tough meats to delicate plants. Our teeth, therefore, have to be able to tear meat
when necessary and be able to grind meat and other foods. Our eye teeth, for instance, or cuspids, which are in the upper jaw, are cone-shaped and designed for piercing. They are canine teeth, with one point, or cusp. The smooth shape of the eye tooth lends itself to self-cleaning and makes it less vulnerable to decay. Some teeth, called incisors, are chisel- shaped and flat, designed for cutting and shearing food into pieces small enough to grind, swallow and digest. The larger, block-shaped teeth in the back of our upper and lower jaw, have several cusps, or points, and are made for grinding. The first and second molars, as you move back from your eye teeth, are also called bicuspids because of their two main cusps.
You can see that keeping your teeth in good working order is essential to the ability to eat and maintain nutrition. Talk with your dentist for more information on the roles of your teeth.

The procedures you mentioned Plastic Surgeon are helpful, while liposuction removes excess fat and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes both fat and loose skin. A consultation with a nutritionist and physical trainer would be a good start. I f t h o se interventions are not efTective, then either liposuction or an abdominoplasty would be a good option. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would help determine which would be best for you.

ANswER: It sounds like you may have eczema which may start as a child but persist into adulthood. This is a common problem in Central Oregon given our Mark Hali, dr climate. Eczema is best treated with M.D. frequent use of lotions to replace the water that is lost through the skin. Good options include those with ceramides which help to hydrate the skin and lock in the moisture. I recommend applying right after your bath or shower to achieve best results. For more severe flares your doctor may even prescribe a topical cortisone cream for a short term.
Other conditions that may mimic eczema include psoriasis, fungal infections (ringworm), and allergic contact dermatitis. These rashes may present with itchy dry skin and can be chronic, requiring different therapy. Treatment options should be discussed after evaluation by your physician. Lastly, a non-healing rash that does not improve with therapy may be the first sign of skin cancer. If you are concerned, I would recommend an evaluation with your Dermatologist.

Knees Continued from E1 "Twenty years ago, that was not the case. But it's not unusual for me to see a patient in their late 30s or 40s with end-stage arthritis who needs surgery. We used to be very fearful of doing that, because we didn't think the implants would last very long. Now, with the new generation of designs and materials, they look like they're going to last a very long time, 20 to 30 years or longer," he said. But even t h e b o o mers' Greatest Generation parents are getting the implants in h igher n u mbers. L i f e e x -
pectancy keeps increasing, of course,but there's also a g reater awareness of h o w quickly health ca n d ecline if immobility leaves an elderly person homebound and isolated. "A lot of the patients will come in an d t h in k t h ey're too old. And there's nobody who's too old for the operation anymore," said Dr. Jay Lieberman, head of orthopedic surgery at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. "The major reason why we do these operations in patients in their 90s is for pain, and because patients will literally say to you, 'I don't want to live if I can't walk.' Because it's not much of a life for an elderly patient to be trapped inside. They're cut of f f r o m t h eir family and their friends. "They want to be back to who they were."
How it works Total k n e e r e p lacement, also c a l le d ar t h r oplasty, might be a misnomer: The entire knee isn't cut out. In fact, many of the parts are kept in, including the ligaments at the edges of the joint, the lateral and medial collateral l igaments, as well as the patella bone and its own ligament. The procedure is commonly recommended in p eople whose a r t icular c a r t i lage, which covers the thigh bone
(femur), has been ravaged by degenerative o s teoarthritis. The meniscuses, the d i scshaped pads between the cartilage on the femur and the shinbone (tibia), can also wear over the years. The femur and t i bia ar e shaved down to make way for the implant, which resurfaces the bones. "Imagine you're essentially doing a retread on a tire," Caillouette said. Most implants have a metal "tray" that holds a plastic platform that stands in for the meniscus. The covering on the femur is s uper-strong metal, and when the k nee bends, the pieces glide on top of one another. Earlier generations of the implant used titanium, but that metal was found to wear out too quickly, Caillouette said. Newer models use cobalt-chrome, a longer-lasting alloy. The plastics in t h em a lso are harder and m o r e wear-resistant, says Caillouette's colleague Dr. Robert Gorab, the chief medical officer a t H o a g O r t h opedic Institute. Several companies h ave come out with revised knee systems this year. At an annual meeting of o r thopedic surgeons in Chicago earlier this year, there was so much buzz about the new versions of knee implants on display that the trade magazine Orthopedic Design & Technology dubbed 2013 "the year of the knee." New rollouts include the

The latter was developed with help f ro m C a i llouette and Gorab, who were part of an international team of surgeons that worked on the Attune for more than six years. The project cost about $200 million, one of J& J's most expensive ever. Researchers studied how patients move, and what deficiencieshad hampered previous designs. Although knee replacement had historically been a very successful procedure, some patients had complained that their i m plants felt unstable as they tried to walk stairs, or that the gadgets simply felt strange inside them. "The goal was, what's it going to take to make it invisible'?" Caillouette said.
clock, because we're giving them little doses of different things, as opposed to hitting them with a sledgehammer." Lieberman, of USC, says some patients can be given a nti-inflammatories th re e days before the procedure, a step he calls "preemptive
analgesia." A patient might receive a spinal anesthesia or a femoral nerve block, isolated in the knee area. Post-op, drugs can be administered that can last for days, giving the patient time to get up and moving. Patients are now encouraged, by nurses and physical therapists, to begin walking within six hours. "They're putting weight on it right away, that night," Lieberman said. "That's allowed us to discharge them earlier, which is very good for them mentally and medically. Pa-
tients can go home the next day, or tw o d ays after the
surgery." O lson, who w a s o n e o f C aillouette's p atients, w a s able to walk into his office for a checkup 10 days after her operation. She's still in physical therapy to improve her lateral flexibility and range of motion.
Success stories Most implants adhere to the bone by a c e ment-like substance called polymethly methacrylate. The adhesive can eventually fail, as could other components; the plastic platform is also more likely to show wear than the metal above and below it (the platform itself can be replaced). Because ofthese factors, it's unknown how long a shelf life the new generation of implants can have. That makes
it tricky to recommend treatment to very young patients, like those in their 40s. "Redos," or re-implantations, can be complicated. One goal is to create implants that don't need cement, and instead begin to grow into the bone. That would make them last longer. "Right now, cementless total hips in the United States dominate the market," he said. "So in total knee replacements, if you got to the stage where you could reliably get in-growth and stability in the components right away, the hope is that it would be more durable in younger patients." Jerry Brooks, of Newport Beach, Calif., got his arthritic right knee replaced in 2002, and his left knee in 2003. He says his X-rays show almost no wear at all in his models, called the Smith & Nephew Journey. He'd had problems with the right knee for years, and it finally gave out while he was competing in the 2001
Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii. "I feel like I'm 25," says Brooks, who is 72 and in remarkable physical shape, for any age. He doesn't race so much anymore, but he still runs 25 miles a week, bikes 150 miles, and swims 5,000 to 8,000 yards. "I'm grateful for the fact that I got two gifts, so I can continue doing what I want to do." Lieberman says those kinds of stories inspire him. He received a letter from a woman who told him, "I think about y ou every d ay" a n d " Y o u changed my life." "How many people tell you that in your l ife, ever'?" Lieberman said. "You get these cards from people, and they're traveling all over the world. They're on their bicycles and they're on cruise ships. "It's not life and death, but quality of life has become so important that people really appreciate it. Particularly if they've been debilitated for a long period of time."

Nearly 1,500 knee replacements were performed therein 2012, a 28 percent increase over 2011. DePuy launched the Attune i n M a rch ( C aillouette i m planted the first one on the West Coast), and between that model and the others, the 70bed hospital should become an even busier place. Patients are usually kept for at least one night after undergoing the procedure, but the protocol for their t reatment has changed vastly over the years. Knee surgery hurts, a lot, and this used to be a dealbreaker for m any p atients. But Caillouette says patients receive different kinds of pain treatment: Gone are the days when only general anesthesia would be used, leaving the patient groggy and out of sorts upon awakening. Also, more care is taken to avoid cutting some soft tissue inside the knee. "Now a patient will wake up from surgery without pain," said Caillouette, who along with Gorab i s a f o u n ding partner of the Hoag institute.

'Low Winter Sun'ICi : ersw o just won't i ten up TV SPOTLIGHT "Low Winter Sun" 10 p.m. Sundays, AMC
By Alessandra Stanley New Yorh Times News Service
Film noir doesn't mean that every scene has to be shot in the dark. The term refers to movies stained by deception and amorality, not cinematography in black and white. Many variations on the genre were filmed in color, including "Leave Her to Heaven" and "The Last Seduction." At the moment, one of the best examples on television is "Breaking Bad," which is set in the pitilessly bright glare of Albuquerque, N.M. "Low Winter Sun," a new AMC series that also began Sunday, has a c l assic film noir premise: A well-meaning sap is tricked into committing murder. In this case, an honest cop intent on avenging a loved one fears that he may have been played. And the w rongdoing unfolds in D e troit, so it doesn't take much to set a mood of desperation and decline. Yet "Low Winter Sun" is so clotted with bleak cityscapes, shadowy interiors and brooding portent that the n arrative sags under the weight of all that mood-setting. The creators probably wanted to telegraph up front that this is not a CBS-style network procedural, but that's a given in this golden age of cable. It's
