PERDASDEFOGU, Italy — On a recent Sunday afternoon, hundreds of villagers gathered in this tiny Sardinian town for a Mass to celebrate the 100th birthday of Claudina Melis, one of its esteemed citizens. But she was not the first to reach that milestone. Next to Melis in the front pew was her 105-year-old sister, Consolata; they both had dark kerchiefs and wore traditional black widows' garb. Nearby sat five other Melis siblings, all older than 85, and their families. In 2012, the Melis family entered Guinness World Records for having the highest combined age of any nine living siblings on earth — today more than 825 years. Sustained

The Deschutes County Commission on Monday voted unanimously to begin contractual negotiations with a company that's proposing a multimillion-dollar project to convert gases into usable fuel and extend the life of Knott Landfill. "I am excited about it," said Commission Chairman Alan Unger. "I like what I'm hearing, I like what I'm seeing and I'm interested in moving forward to develop a contract and see what we find after reviewing it." Waste to Energy Group, an Irvine, Calif.-based company, wants to use its patented technology to inject steam into the landfill

to speed up garbage decomposition and produce diesel from the resulting methane.

"The county will not be required to invest any funds for equipment, start-up or operations to launch and sustain the project for the contract period," Waste to Energy CEO L. Randall Lutz said at the Monday commission work session. "Depending onthe amount of gas produced from the project, we are prepared to

invest $34 (million) to $60 million."

Creating diesel The process of injecting and extracting steam was described to the commission by Mike Greenberg, an engineer with HDR Engineering, who was hired by Waste to Energy to determine the feasibility of the project. "The landfill will be injected with steam in individual parcels," he said.

"The steam is injected in the center of the parcel, and there will be vacuums at the four corners that will pull the saturated steam out." The steam is then transferred to an enclosed area where a nontoxic catalyst is introduced, turning the product into diesel. "The diesel we produce is higher grade than what's made from petroleum," Lutz said. "There isn't really a market yet for green diesel, but that's essentially what we're producing." Greenberg'sfirm analyzed the project's possible impact on the environment and decided the risk seemed "very low." "We talked to regulators

and energy groups," he said. "To get permits, the

Oregon DEQ will require monitors to be installed to

ensure public safety."

Benefits touted If the contract is approved, the project will bring revenue to the county, create jobs for local residents, help reduce the environmental impact and extend the landfill's life by several years, according to Lutz. "I'm very positive about the opportunity, said Solid Waste Department Director Timm Schimke. "It will help stabilize the landfill, and that's what this industry shoots for. They look at the gas produced, and when it slows it means less risk if the liner were ever to fail." A landfill liner is a low permeable barrier laid down under engineered landfills to stop toxic liquid from leaching into groundwater. See Landfill iA5

Smithsonian grapples with its stuff By Katherine Boyle The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The world'slargest museum complex is bursting with stuff, from elephants to first lady gowns, biological specimens to space shuttles. Now, the Smithsonian Institution is grappling with a long-term challenge: how to maintain the 137 million items in its collection. On Wednesday, the Committee on House Administration held a collections stewardship hearing to discuss challenges to implementing a maintenance planto care for the art, archival footage and dinosaur bones.

Correction

The city of Bend is in the midst of discussing expensive upgrades to its sewer system designedto fix bottlenecks and keep up with growth. But the city failed in at least one case to enforce a contract with a developer who agreed during the construction boom to upgrade sewer infrastructure in order to serve new homes. The City Council voted to change that Wednesday. Points West was originally designed as a 69-unit townhome development, plus condominium and hotel units with a total of 120 rooms near Seventh Mountain Resort southwest of Bend. The plans changed in 2007 and now call for 64 townhomes and approximately 26 cottagestyle homes, according to a city staff report. In order to connect to the city sewer system, developers in 2005 agreed with the city to upgrade a sewer pump station before building any homes. However, a city engineer then gave the developers permission to build 26 units without finishing the sewer pump upgrade. See Points West iA5

"And it's often at the second hop that information is gained that leads the FBI to investigate the person's contacts further." A "hop" refers to the way in which analysts broaden their analysis. When analysts believe they have cause to suspect an individual, they will look at everyone that person has contacted, called the first "hop" away from the target. Then, in a series of exponential ripples, they look at everyone all those secondary people communicated with. And from that pool, they go on to look at everyone all those tertiary people contacted. This is called a second and a third "hop." The ACLU's deputy legal director, Jameel Jaffer, said the NSA has been trying to make it seem like it peeks at the communications of a tiny subset of people, but with such hops, it has reviewed the communication patterns of millions of individuals. "The first hop takes you to 100 people the person called," Jaffer said. "The second one takes you to 10,000. The third one takes you to a million."

BEIRUT — Not long ago, rebels on the outskirts of Dam ascus were peppering the city with mortars, government soldiers were defecting in droves and reports circulated of new territory pried from the grip of President Bashar Assad. As his losses grew, Assad unleashed fighter jets and SCUD missiles, intensifying fears that mounting desperation would push himto lash out with chemical weapons. That momentum has now been reversed. In recent weeks, rebel groups have been killing one another with increasing ferocity, losing ground on the battlefield and alienating the very citizens they say they want to liberate. At the same time, the United States and otherWestern powers that have called for Assad to step down have shown new reluctance to providing the rebels with badly needed weapons. Although few expect that Assad can reassert his authority over the whole of Syria, even some ofhis staunchest enemies acknowledge that his position is stronger than it has been in months. His resilience suggests

that he has carved out what amounts to a rump state in central Syria that is firmly backed by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah and that Assad and his supporters will likely continue to chip away at the splintered rebel movement. "Assad is powerful now, not as a president who controls a state but as a warlord, as someone who has more and more sophisticated weapons than the others," said Hassan Hassan, a Syrian commentator at the Abu

Dhabi-based English language newspaper The National. "He is not capable of winningbackthe country." Overall, about 60 percent of the Syrian population lives in government-controlled areas, while the rebels effectively control60to 70percent of the actual territory, said Andrew Tabler, a Syrian expert with The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. That is because the rebels are strongest in less populated rural areas, he said. Even fighters who had hoped that Assad would end up deposed, dead, jailed or exiled like other autocrats targeted in the Arab Spring uprisings have begun toacknowledge the emerging reality.

LOS ANGELES — The Tyrannosaurus rex of "Jurassic Park" fame chases any prey that moves, then devours it w it h a b o n ecrushing gnash of its enormous jaws and serrated teeth. But p aleontologists don't necessarily back Steven Spielberg's portrayal of T. rex, with some saying it may have simply scavenged the remains of animals. Now scientists have unearthed what they say is the first direct evidence that the dinosaur king hunted its prey, further supporting its reign at the top of the Cretaceous food chain. The team excavated the 1.5inch crown of a T. rex tooth lodged between the fused vertebrae of a hadrosaur, a plant-eating duck-billed dinosaur. The vertebrae had grown around the chiselshaped tooth — indicating that the hadrosaur was alive when it was attacked, according to a report by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists have debated T. rex's feeding behavior for more than a century. Fossil remains bearing T. rex tooth marks indicate that the massive creatures ate meat. While those discoveries might suggest that T. rex fatally attacked its prey, they are also consistent with the possibility that the prey was already dead before T. rex took its first bite. Experts in both camps have ardently defended their positions. The tooth crown and vertebrae found in South Dakota's Hell Creek Formation is "the piece that settles the controversy," said University of Kansas paleontologist David Burnham, a member of the study team.

HISTORY Highlight: In 1863, during the Civil War, Union troops

spearheaded bythe 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry,

made up ofblacksoldiers, charged Confederate-held Fort Wagner on Morris Island, S.C. The Confederates were able to

repel the Northerners, whosuffered heavy losses; the 54th's commander, Col. Robert Gould

Shaw, wasamongthose who were killed. In 64, the Great Fire of Rome

began. In1536, the English Parliament

passed anact declaring the authority of the popevoid in England. In1792, American naval hero John Paul Jones died in Paris at age 45. In 1872, Britain enacted voting

by secret ballot. In 1913, comedian Red Skelton was born in Vincennes, Ind. In 1932, the United States and Canada signed a treaty to de-

velop the St. LawrenceSeaway. In1940, the Democratic National Convention at Chicago Stadium nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term in office. In1947, President Harry S. Tru-

man signed aPresidential Succession Act, which placed the

speaker of theHouseandthe Senate president pro tempore next in the line of succession after the vice president. In1969, Sen. Ted Kennedy,

D-Mass., left a party onChappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard with Mary Jo Ko-

pechne, 28;sometime later, Kennedy's carwent off a bridge into the water. (Kennedywas able to escape,but Kopechne drowned.) In 1976, at the Montreal Olym-

pics, RomaniangymnastNadia Comaneci received the first-ever

And digitizing the collection, a top priority of the Smithsonian, takes more time and manpower. In a previous interview, Clough noted that at the current rate, it would take more than half a century to digitize the entire collection. The panel also highlighted that th e S m ithsonian, l i ke many government agencies, must deal with rising operating costs because of an aging workforce. With federal compensation to employees taking a growing chunk out of federal appropriations, Clough said, the Smithsonian is engaging private partners to help with preservation because increases in f e deral expenditures seem unlikely. Still, the panel assured Congress that"the treasures are safe."

Even so, the records add up quickly. In Jersey City, N.J., for example, the population is 250,000, but the city collected more than 2 million plate images ina year.Because the city keeps records for five years, the ACLU estimates that it has some 10 million on file, making it possible for police to plot the movements of most residents, depending upon the number and location of the scanners. The ACLU s tudy, based on 26,000 pages of responses from 293 police departments and stateagencies across the country, found that l i cense plate scanners produced a small fraction of " h its," or alerts to police that a suspicious vehicle had been found.

And their children, the ones born after 1970, generally have university degrees — and are struggling to find work. With older people in the Mediterranean living longer and longer lives — and with fertility rates low and youth unemployment soaring in Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal — experts warn that Europe's debt crisis is exacerbating a growing demographic crisis. In the coming years, they warn, there will be fewer workers paying into the social security system to support the pensions of older generations.

Canceling production of the Global Hawk — which was deemed "not operationally effective" by the Pentagon's top testing official in 2011 — would save $2.5 billion over five years, according to projections.

Go a Haw:t e rone t ePenta oncou n't roun By Richard H.P. Sia and Alexander Cohen Center for Public Integrity

W ASHINGTON — W i t h billions of dollars in spending reductions looming, Air Force officials looked around last year for a program they could cut that was underperforming, had busted its budget and wasn't vital to immediate combat needs. Eventually, they settled on the production line for a $223 million aircraft known as the Global Hawk, with the wingspan of a tanker but no pilot in the cockpit, built to fly over vast terrain for a little more than a day while sending back data to military commanders on the ground. "The Block 30 (version of Global Hawk) is not operationally effective," the Pentagon's top testing official had declared in a blunt 2011 report about the drones being assembled by Northrop Grumman in Palmdale, Calif. Canceling its production and putting recently built models into l ong-term storage would save $2.5 billion over five years, the service projected. Its missions could be picked up by an Air Force stalwart, the U-2 spy plane, which had room for more sensors and

could fly higher. What happened next was an object lesson in the power of a defense contractor to trump the Pentagon's own attempts to set the nation's military spending priorities amid a tough fiscal climate. A team of Northrop lobbyists, packed with former congressional staff and bolstered by hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions, persuaded Congress to demand the drone's c ontinued p r oduction a n d operation. In so doing, the contractor defied not only the leadership of the Air Force but also the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey. He told the House Armed Services Committee in February 2012 that the Global Hawk "has fundamentally priced itself out of our ability to afford it." The White House, in two messages to Congress last

year, said it "strongly objects" to the lawmakers' demands for additional Global Hawks. But its protests were to no avail. Northrop's successful campaign to thwart the government culminated in a l etter this May from two influential House lawmakers to n ewly installed Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, reminding him of the requirement to buy three more of the drone aircraft at an estimated cost of at least $300 million. The letter, whose authorsRep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., and Rep. James Moran, D-Va. — have received a total of $D5,100 from Northrop Grumman's political a ction committee and employees for their election campaigns and leadershipPACs since the beginning of 2009, is emblematic of the political forces now inhibiting a major drawdown in military spending. Northrop Grumman's political strategy "is entirely predictable: Hire the right people, target the right people, contribute to the right people, then link them together with subcontractors and go for the gold," said Gordon Adams, who served as the senior White House budget official for national security from 1993 to 1997 and has studied defense spending and procurementfor more than 30 years. A spokesman for McKeon, Claude Chafin, said the lawmaker was responding to the absence of a credible Pentagon analysis supporting "the additional shedding of" assets such as the Global Hawk in the midst of "the war fighter's

growing need." N orthrop G r umman h a s hailed the Block 30 — the largest drone in the U.S. arsenal — as an "unblinking eye" platform that does a better job of tracking objects on the ground for a longer period. But Global Hawks ran into trouble partly because they were pressed quickly into service over Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya an d o t her c o untries while still technically under development.

Global Hawks were in the field "did the services find out how commanders would actually use them,"said a congressional analyst who's familiar with the program but wasn't authorized to be quoted speaking about it. The concurrent testing and production "put it at increased risk of cost growth," the Government Accountability Office said last year. In all, the cost of

a single Global Hawk jumped by morethan 150 percent,from about $88 million in 2001 to $223 million in 2012, the GAO reported in March. That record led a special Pentagon report June 28, examining why the defense-wide acquisition system routinely produces large cost overruns, to depict the Global Hawk in particular as an egregious outlier. "Analyzing just aircraft development contracts"such as Global Hawk, the report said, Northrop Grumman's work had "significantly higher cost growth" than rival behemoths Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Rigorous testing from October 2010 through January 2011 led the Pentagon's chief weapons tester to conclude, moreover, that the Block 30 was unreliable. Given the Block 30 troubles, Air Force officials concluded in late 2011 that they couldn't fly both that aircraft and the U-2 under provisions in the Budget Control Act. But cost and reliability concerns took a back seat to the

The amendment will allow Points West t o obtain u p t o 1 0 m o r e building permits this year, and requirethe developer to upgrade the pump station to the latest city standards and specifications. "Staff has evaluated the existing pump station operations and has determined that there is sufficient additional capacity for the 10 additional (connections) at this time," according to a city report. "The main deficiency at this pump station is aging infrastructure that s hould be replaced, and not limited capacity." City Manager Eric King said this particular agreement is somewhat unusual, and it is m ore difficult to ensure compliance, because the city is providing sewer services. But the county issues building permits because the subdivision is outside city limits. However, King also acknowledged this as an example of the challenges created when the city signs development agreements. He said the city now generally avoids agreements that allow different infrastructure and land use arrangements than areotherwise required

by city code. "We would prefer to have folks follow our standards a nd specifications," K i n g said. "But there are all these previous development agreements that were made back in a different time."

Russell Grayson, a city engineer in Community Development Department, said, "As part of this amendment, we wanted to get some hard deadlines in there." City employees also discovered Points West, before i t was issued some of i t s building permits, had n ot paid all of the development fees due the city, according to a city report. Points West has since paid all it s outstanding development fees.

"We just found out about

Deschutes County Community Development Director Nick Lelack said that for Points West and all o ther rural s ubdivisions served by city sewer, the county requires a receipt to prove the developer has paid city development f ees.

County employees also email the c it y a f ter t h ey complete the final building inspection and issue a certificate of occupancy, so the city knows the structure is operational, Lelack said. — Reporter: 541-617-7829, hborrud@bendbulletin.com

By David A. Fahrenthold

The Washington Post

OZARK, Mo. — This summer, Marty the Magician got a letter from the U.S. government. It began with six ominous words: "Dear Members of Our Regulated Community..." Washington had questions about his rabbit. Again. Marty Hahne, 54, does magic shows for kids in southern Missouri. For his big finale, he pulls a rabbit out of a hat. Or out of a picnic basket. Or out of a tiny library, if he's doing his routine about reading being

magical. To do that, Hahne has an official U.S. government license. Not for the magic. For the rabbit. The Agriculture Department requires it, citing a decades-old law that was intended to regulate zoos and circuses. Today, the USDA also uses it to regulate much smaller "animal exhibitors," even the humble onebunny magician. That was what the letter was about. The government had a new rule. To keep his rabbit license, Hahne needed to write a rabbit disaster plan. "Fire. Flood. Tornado. Air c onditioning going out. I c e storm. Power failures," Hahne said, listing a few of the calamities for which he needed a plan to save the rabbit.

About face Or maybe not. Late Tuesday, after a Washington Post story on Hahne was posted online, the A griculture Department announced that the d isaster-plan rule would b e re-examined. "Secretary (Tom) V i lsack asked that this be reviewed immediately and common sense be applied," said department spokeswoman Courtney Rowe in an email message. Rowe said that Vilsack had ordered the r eview "earlier this week." But it was not announced until 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. Just hours before — at 5:50 p.m. — the department had been vigorously defending the rule, with another spokeswoman praising it s "flexibility," saying it was designed to accommodate even a small-time operation like a magician and a rabbit. For Hahne, this whole saga has provided a lesson in one of Washington's bad old habitsthe tendency to pile new rules on top of old ones, with officials using good intentions and vague laws to expand the reach of the federal bureaucracy. In this case, Washington's reach extended into a place that — as far as the audience knows — does not exist. That would be the hidden "load chamber" inside Marty the Magician's hat.Where Casey the licensed rabbit waits for his cue. "Our country's broke," Hahne said. "And yet they have money and t ime t o h a rass somebody about a rabbit." Hahne is a slight man with the stage persona of an exuberant doofus — he seems constantly surprised by his own tricks. He's been doing magic shows full time for 27 years, on cruise ships and on land. That means he's experienced most of the troubles a magician can expect:Overexcited kids who wet themselves after he brought them onstage. A shipboard drunk who threw up on his props. A rabbit so mean it growled. But he did not expect the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "She said, 'Show me your license.' And I said, 'License for ...?'" Hahne recounted. This was after a 2005 show at a library in Monett, Mo. Among the crowd of parents and kids, there was a woman with a badge. A USDA inspector. "She said, 'For your rabbit.' " Hahne was busted. He had to get a license, or lose the rabbit. He got the license. (The inspector did not respond to a request to tell her side of the story)

Bustedmagicians In the past decade, the same thing has happened to other children's magicians across the country, according to Mark Daniel, president of the trade association KIDabra. ("That's a play on the word 'abracadabra,'" Daniel said.) He's heard from 10.

mice were abandoned in the chaos. Now, all licensed exhibitors would need to have a written plan to save their animals. The government asked for public comments in 2008. It got 997.Just 50 commenters were in favor of the rule as written. But that, apparently, was enough. After a yearslong process, the rule took effect Jan. 30. So who, exactly,made the decision to implement the rule? An Agriculture Department spokeswoman declined to give a name.

Rabbit rules

Hahne has an official USDA license, No. 43-C-0269, for Casey — a 3-pound Netherland Dwarf rabbit with a look of near-fatal boredom. The rules require Hahne to pay $40 a year, take Casey to the vet and submit to surprise inspections of his home. Also, if Hahne plans to take the rabbit out of town for an extended period, he must submit an itinerary to the USDA. The 1966 law that started all of this was four pages long. Now, the USDA has 14 pages of regulations just for rabbits. But not all rabbits. Animals raised for meat are exempt from theserules. "You're telling me I can kill the rabbit right in front of you," Hahne says he asked an inspector, "but I can't take it across the street to the birthday party" without a license? Also, the law applies only to warmblooded animals. If Hahne were pulling an iguana out of his hat — no license required. Now, he needs both a license and a disaster plan. This new rule was first proposed by the USDA in 2006 under President George W. Bush. Its inspiration was Hurricane Katrina, in which animals from pet dogs to cattle to lab

'Take rabbit with you when you leave' Even before the USDA announced its review, not every magician seemed to be taking the job seriously. "I'll take a piece of paper and put down, 'Note: Take rabbit with you when you leave,"' said Gary Maurer, a magician with a licensed rabbit in South Carolina. "That's my plan." But Hahne has obtained professional help. Kim M organ, who has written disaster plans for entire federal agencies, heard about his case and volunteered to help write the rabbit's plan for free. So far, the plan she has written is 28 pages. "That's pretty short," given what the USDA asked for, Morgan said. She covered many of the suggested calamities: chemical leaks, floods, tornadoes, heat waves. But she was able to skip over some concerns that might apply to larger animals. If the rabbit escapes, "it's not

They checked and were surprised. It was the law. "It was on th e books 40 years," Daniel said. "And nobody knew anything." The storybehind it illustrates the reality of how American laws get made. First Congress passes a bill, laying out the broad strokes. Then bureaucrats write regulations to execute those intentions. And then, often, they keep on writing them. And writing them. In this case, the long road to regulated rabbits began backin 1965 — when Capitol Hill was captivated with the story of a dognapped Dalmatiannamed

Effort to ban plasticbags inBendreturns Merkley touts Senate

By Branden Andersen The Bulletin

The Bag Monster was in Bend on Wednesday, promoting Environment Oregon, a statewide environmental nonprofit, as it rallied public support for banning plastic retail bags in Bend. A person covered in more than 400 bags represented the number of plastic retail bags an individual uses over the courseof ayear.Itis one ofthe organization's visual tools, as it attempts to convince Bend residents that plastic bags are bad. "Today, we collectively call on the City Council of Bend to ban single-use plastic bags," said Alasdair Muir Neilson, an intern for Environment Oregon leading the charge in Bend to ban plastic bags. Similar bans are in effect in Portland, Eugene and Corvallis.

In March, local and state advocacy groups attempted to gain City Council support in banning plastic bags in retail stores around Bend. But the council said the issue wasn't for the city to decide. The legislative session concluded July 8 with no statewide ban on plastic bags. So, the movement came backtothe grass roots. Environment Oregon, a political nonprofit, has gained local support from worldrenowned surfer and Bend resident Gerry Lopez and 49 local businesses, ranging from Ranch Records to Whole Foods Market, Neilson said. "Bend has a very active outdoor lifestyle that requires the nature that surrounds us," said Jason Valdez, marketing and community relations team lead for Whole Foods. See Bags/B5

WASHINGTON — The last-minute deal brokered this week to avoid a controversial change to Senate rules is an important step in restoring normal order to the body, one of the deal's major proponents said Wednesday. "The goal was to try to restore a functional nomination process,"said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. "And that's essentially how it came out." Under the deal, Republicans agreed to allow up-ordown votes on seven Obama nominees to the executive branch, including Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In exchange, Democrats withdrew two nominations to the National Labor Relations Board that the Obama administration had advanced as recessappointments. Democrats also pledged not to use the so-called

The Oregon School Board Association will host its Summer Board Conference this weekend at the Riverhouse Hotel & Convention Center in Bend. The OSBA is a member services agency that supports school boards across the state by offering guidance on operations and policy implementation. The group is funded by membership dues and fees for additional

services, including labor negotiations, legal services and board member training. The only school district that is not a member of OSBA is the McDermitt School District, a rural district that crosses into Nevada near Oregon's southeastern corner. "This was an election and legislative year for Oregon, and we want to use this conference to get information for newly electedboard members about their roles and responsibilities for their districts,"

said Betsy Miller-Jones, executive director of the OSBA. There are 153 registered guests, according to Alex Pulaski, OSBA communications specialist. While most of theattendees are board members, Pulaski says that superintendents and other administrators will also be in attendance. Professional speaker Jim Bearden will deliver the keynote, titled "Leadership and Culture: Closing the Gaps Between What Sounds Good

and What Gets Done." "The keynote will give new board members a sense of how to approach leadership and culture, which is very important as school board members set the tone for the entire school district," MillerJones said. A diverse set of issues will be addressed at the conference, ranging from a lesson on fiscal oversight to a panel on how to address

the Senate's tradition-steeped rules using a simple majority of 51 votes — to permanently eliminate filibustering of nominees to the executive branch. But they did not take the nuclear option off the table should the Republican minority continue, in the Democrats' view, to obstruct the nomination process. The Senate confirmed Cordray on Tuesday, followed by Fred Hochberg as president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States on Wednesday. Prior to the confirmation votes, enough Republicans joined with the 54 members of the Democratic caucus to invoke cloture on each nominee and provide the 60 votes required to overcome a GOP filibuster. Since 1949, when a change to Senate rules opened the door to filibustering nominees, there had been a total of 20 filibusters of executive branch nominees prior to the Obama administration, including nine during President Bill Clinton's two terms and seven during George W. Bush's. Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, his executive branch nominees have been filibustered 16 times. Merkley said the framers of the Constitution never intended to give a minority in onebranch ofgovernment the power to hamstring the operations of the other two. Previously, Merkley and New Mexico Democrat Tom Udall, both of whom were first elected in 2008, had pushed for changes to the Senate rules regarding filibuster at the beginning of new Congresses in January 2011 and January 2013.

A hiker who fell a short distance downhill from the summit of South Sister was rescued byhelicopter Wednesday afternoon, according to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office. Search & Rescue coordinator Lt. Scott Shelton said Oliver Austin, 33, of Bend, and a hiking partner had reached the summit of the 10,358-foot mountainand began heading back down. At around noon,

300 feet below the summit, Austin fell 10 to 20 feet and was briefly knocked unconscious. Shelton said the path Austin was walking on was quite steep, but not otherwise unusually hazardous. "It's a mostly dry path; you can go across the glacier if you wish but by this time of year it's mostly a dry path, but it's all rock scree and pretty nasty up there, so you have to watch what you're doing," Shelton said. Austin's hiking partner

contactedemergency dispatchers,and sheriff's deputiesand Search 8 Rescue volunteers headed to the scene. Eleven Search 8 Rescue members headed up the hiking trail near Devil's Lake, while three members headed to the summit in an AirLink medical rescue helicopter. The team in the helicopter landed at the summit, contacted Austin and provided an initial medical assessment and stabilization. With help from Austin's hiking companion and

other hikers who had arrived on the scene, the Search 8 Rescue team loaded Austin into a wheeled litter and took him to the helicopter waiting at the summit. Austin was flown to St. Charles Bend at 2:10 p.m. for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening. The 11 Search 8z Rescue team members hiking up from Devil's Lake were recalled, while the three who went to the summit by helicopter descended on foot. Although the group on foot never reached

Austin, Shelton said Search & Rescue routinely deploys a backup team when attempting an aircraft -based rescue. In the event the helicopter was unable to land at the summit, the team on foot would have eventually reached Austin, he said, though the mission would likely have been a 16-18 hour effort. Wednesday evening, a nursing supervisor at St. Charles Bend said Austin had been treated and released. — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammersC<bendbulleti n.com

REGON

Education officer spent big ontravel The Associated Press PORTLAND — O r e gon's first chief education officer billed the state for personal travel expenses, took six weeks of paid vacation, and tried to get the state to pay for perks such as first-class plane tickets, a newspaper investigation shows. Official Rudy Crew earned an annual salary of $280,000 and frequently traveled out of state during his year as Oregon's first overseer of preschool through college education, The Oregonian reported Wednesday. He had been hired to implement Gov. John Kitzhaber's plans to remake the state public education system. Records indicated that his travels included a daylong visit to Santa Fe, N.M., schools to honor a former colleague, at a cost of $1,118, and a quick visit to Los Angeles to teach a fourhour course at the University of Southern California, his for-

Rudy Crew, left, the outgoing chief education officer for Oregon, talks with Bend-La Pine school board member Cheri Helt last year. Crew frequently traveled out of state during his year in Oregon, and took six weeks of paid vacation, records show.

A separation agreement said the state wouldn't ask him to repay travel expenses. The governor's office installed Lisa Van Laanen as his chief of staff in ApriL mer employer, costing $552.

C rew said th e t own c a r would save money, because it would have required $210 in valet airport parking and $270 worth of his time if he had driven himself. Crew also billed the state $850 for a flight to Anchorage, Alaska, and a first-class flight back for a trip that he subsequently decided not to take. The state could not recoup the money, Van Laanen said. During the legislative session, he traveled to Washington, D.C., Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and the Bahamas.

Others, like the trip to Santa Fe, were not related to his work for Oregon, but Crew had the state pay the plane fare and rentalcar tab, the newspaper reported. "It was hard for us to track who paid for what and when it was personal and when it was professional," Van Laanen said. "There was supposed to be a process in which he sought approval through the OEIB for any outside work, but a process was never established." Of the trip to teach a class at USC, she acknowledged, "we should not have paid for that one." She said Crew pushed back when she was brought in to bring his office into compliance with state rules and regulations. Asked for comment, Kitzhaber's aides said the governor's office took steps to implement an approval process for Crew's expenses. "As soon as the issue was brought to our attention we worked with the board to prepare an approval process, including the creation of a management subcommittee," said an email from spokeswoman Amy Wojcicki. "While that process wasbeing implemented Dr. Crew resigned."

Jeff Cogen said he wouldn't resign and denied that their relationship influenced the promotion the woman won. Cogen, who has two children, said he told his wife about the affair Tuesday, in part, "because I didn't want her to hear it from someone else." He said he'll take time off to try to

save the marriage. Anemail circulated among county workers led to Cogen's announcement.Itsaidemployeeshave"spotted ChairCogen kissing Sonia Manhas in front of the Kenton Library and in a booth and at a bar in Portland along with a few other 'sightings.'"

ROad rage laWSuit —An Idaho manwho reported a road-rage encounter with a Portland police captain is suing the officer and city. In August 2011, Todd Wyatt waved his gun and badge in the window of his truck after he and Nicholas Cox took an Interstate 90 on-ramp near Post Falls. Wyatt says Cox cut him off. Cox says Wyatt was tailgating. The suit filed Tuesday seeks $255,000. It says the police bureau's failure to discipline Wyatt for earlier acts likely led him to think he was above the law. Wyatt has been demoted to lieutenant, partly due to the off-duty confrontation. He was acquitted of a weap-

ons charge in Idaho.Wyatt's attorney said his client looks forward to an airing of the facts.

Killer denied parole —The Oregon parole board denied release for a man who killed another man with a hatchet 26 years ago in Portland. The board said Tuesday that Kevin Roper remains a threat

to society, but it set a potential releasedatefor him in 2016. Roper was among 30 killers affected by a 2011 state Supreme Court ruling that determined they had been in prison too long without a parole

review. Roperwas19 when hepleaded guilty to aggravated murder in the1987 death of Eddie Gibbs. The 20-year-old was robbed and hit in the head with a hatchet. The board also discussed parole for a second

man convicted in the caseand said it would decide within two weeks whether to release Scott Wickee. — From wire reports

Oregon State, Corvallis at oddsover police The Associated Press CORVALLIS — The Corvallis City Council and Oregon State University are in a dispute over the city's plan to add police officers in the campus area, a reflection of tensions over c ampus-area misbehavior that has accompanied enrollment growth. The council has approved a property tax levy that calls for adding three police officers — four if Oregon State bears the $100,000 cost for another.

said the message was a disappointment and a surprise — no members had talked to university officials. "No one has to get our attention. We are already involved with our neighbors and city partners," Clark said. "It's incumbent on the City Council and the university to sit down and talk about what the council had in mind. Without that opportunity, we're working in the dark." He said th e u n i versity's legal opinion is that it can't turn state funds intended for higher education over to an-

Merkley Continued from B1 However Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., struck a gentleman's agreement with M i nority L eader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Days after the most recent deal was struck, Republicans filibustered the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the first time a nominee for Secretary of Defense had ever been blocked. (He was later confirmed).In February, 43 Republican senators — enough to sustain a filibuster — sent a letter to Obama, saying they would never agree to confirm the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau until changes were made to the way the agency operated. Merkley said a closed-door meeting of 98 senators Monday night in the Old Senate Room helped make the deal possible.

Democrats' main objection was that Republicans were using filibusters as a strategy to essentially dismantle agencies they don't like, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the National Labor Relations Board and the Environmental Protection Agency, Merkley said.

he art of figuring out what to do with Bend's Mirror Pond requires answers to specific questions: What does the community want'? What is the future of the dam? The process Bend has used so far has discovered neither. It seemed determined to make a rendezvous with a destiny that didn't include figuring out what the community should do. The Bend City Council and the Bend Park 8 Recreation District Board have now formed a new committee. Let's try something different this time. Let's use the best methods to find out what the community wants. Relying on o nline questionnaires may put a notch in somebody's playbook of gathering community input. It doesn't say much at all about what the community wants. We know Bend's leaders are acutely sensitive to having hefty community involvement, because it is important, and because of the questions the City Council took on its surface water project. It still needs to be a community process

that will answer questions. Do a scientific poll. Of course, polls have limitations. Short of a communitywide vote on every option, there is no better way. But first, let's find some answers about the dam and spell out for the public whatever is known about the ownership of the riverbottom. Pacific Power can't say how long it will keep the dam. Roger Raeburn, manager ofdam safety at Pacific Power, doesn't have a study that says the dam may last "x" more years. That shouldn't stop the new committee from getting answers on its own about what's possible. For instance, does the city really have achance to keep the dam if Pacific Power doesn't want it? No matter what is decided about Mirror Pond's future, the leaders who make the decision are going to be beset with questions and complaints. That is part of leadership. Don't set the new committee again on course to drift.

We hired Crew to lead Gov. John Kitzhaber's effort to revamp our educational system from top to bottom, but Crew couldn't be bothered to work with our Legislature to get the money allocated.

Thejuryhasspoken

Thank you, Bruce Brothers, for your article of July 10 in The Bul-

President Obama spoke to the nation after the George Zimmerman

trial and said: HA jury has spoken." And he urged for calm in the aftermath of the acquittal verdict. But he seemed less than enthusiastic about that verdict. After all, was it not he who set the tone of public opinion with his statement, "If I had a son, he'd be like Trayvon?" And did that statement not set the tone for Obama's supporting news media to follow? Of course it did. And of course they did. This case was the epitome of how our system works. A jury hears the evidence and is obligated to decide the accused's guilt or i n nocence. This jury was six ladies, presumably mothers all, who could feel the anguish in another mother's emotion. But they did their work. They heard the evidence. They followed their instructions. They decided in favor of acquittal. Trayvon Martin's death was tragic and unnecessary, but his actions played a role. It's done. Let it

go. But those who have something to gain by keeping race at the forefront, i.e., Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and those continuing to pursue a result they believe the president favors, like NBC and others, won't let it go. Those people evidently feel their opinions trump everything. The motivation appears as a more self-satisfying ploy, rather than whether Zimmerman is guilty. They could not care less; they will tell you that they know what's best. Just ask. Al Phillips prineville

Zimmerman case was a fair trial and a fair result By Nicholas Saraceno n March 5, 1770, British troops fired into a crowd of unarmed colonial A m ericans. These troops were put on trial for their lives in a city that was fiercely loyal to the colonials. And by the time of the trial, colonial Americans were feverishly calling for the British troops' heads. One man stepped up to do what was right, even though it was also very unpopular with his fellow Americans — defend the British troops in court. He did so in the interest of fairness and a belief in the rule of law. His name? John Adams. During his closing argument he uttered this: "The law, in all vicissitudes of government, fluctuations of the passions, or flights of enthusiasm, will preserve a steady undeviating course; it will not bend to the uncertain wishes, imaginations, and wanton tempers of men. The law, no passion can disturb. It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger.

It is men's written reason; retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible. On the one hand it is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners; on the other it is deaf, deaf as an adder to the clamors of the populace." The British soldiers who fired muskets at unarmed colonial Americans were acquitted by a jury of men, all from Massachusetts and of colonial allegiance, due to what then was a novel legal concept — reasonable doubt that they did so unprovoked and in self-defense. John Adams' America was on full display in the Zimmerman case — an America where a fair trial produced a fair result. Where anger and frustration and passion, no matter how righteous their indignation, take a back

IN MY VIEW verdict is simply another instance of the monolithic American system of justice coming down on the side of white America to the detriment of black America is an understandable

feeling.

We can absolutely point to more than a handfulof other recent cases where the same legal system didn't work, where it was a sham and race was the factor that made it so. But that was not the case here. It is far too simplistic to say, "Zimmerman was found innocent because the system is racist" and leave it at that while we pick up our torches and pitchforks. Yes. George Zimmerman killed a 17-year-old black child. That happened. Everyone with a heart and reasonable moral compass agrees that it was a tragedy. But the trial was seat the laws of men (and women). not a sham. It was the legal system However, that th e Z i mmerman operating just as it was designed to.

It ts far too simplistic to say, "Zimmerman was found innocent because the system is racist" and leave tt at that while we pick up our torches and pitchforks.... The trial was not a sham. It was the legal system operating just as it was designed to. It's not that Zimmerman killed a black teenager and went free. That trial happened fairly. It's that black America can't expect the same fair trial. That's the travesty. It's that the "stand your ground" law a llowed Zimmerman to kill a teenager of any race in such a questionable way, legitimately claim self-defense under that law and walk away scot-free. That's the travesty. But the legal system worked here. George Zimmerman, as reprehensible as he is, is not the villain. To sacrifice the freedom and life of a man who must be found innocent in the eyes

of the law for immediate feelings of gratification because of what we believe was in his heart, is no answer to any problem worth solving. The injustice is in the law itself. The injustice is in the system of justice as it is applied in different circumstances. That's not the fault of George Zimmerman, however much we may disdain him. Thus, the system in t h i s c ase worked just as John Adams would have wanted. Now we need to ensure it better works for all and ensure such an incident never happens again. — Nicholas Saraceno livesin Bend.

Park Service spokeswoman Barbara Maynes said the agency is focused on fixing the water-treatment plant. Repairs should be finished by mid-September,she said. The hatchery's existence is being challenged in court by conservation groups that argue hatchery-reared fish can harm the wild-fish populations the dam-removal project aims to revive. But the tribe, which prevailed in earlier court rulings, contends that hatchery fish will ensure that tribal members will be able to resume fishing after a five-year moratorium ends, even if it takes wild salmon and steelhead longer than that to rebound.

Lt. Gen. SidneyBerry led West Point as it first admitted women By Douglas Martin

FEATURED OBITUARY

New York Times News Service

Lt. Gen. Sidney Berry, a decorated combat veteran who ushered women into West Point as superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy in the 1970s and confronted a grievous cheating s candal there, died July I i n Kennett Square, Pa. He was 87. The cause was congestive heart failure, a complication of Parkinson'sdisease,his son, Bryan, said. Berry was a military luminary from the day a fellow cadet christened him "our leader, o wner of the place," in h i s academy yearbook. He was the first in his graduating class to achieve the rank of general. Serving in the Army in the Korean War, he was wounded,

awarded two Silver Stars for valor and promoted twice in the field, to captain and major. In the Vietnam War, he was again wounded and won two more SilverStars.He was one of two military assistants to RobertMcNamara, the defense secretary in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. In 1970, Life magazine ran a 10-page profile of Berry titled "Case Study of an Army Star." The article said that many predicted he would rise to Army chief of staff, the service's highest position. "Sid Berry expresses the ideal of the American soldier," Lt. Gen. William DePuy, assistant vice chief of staff, told Life. "He

is what the profession would like to believe itself to be." Berry, who became the 50th superintendent of West Point in 1974, was not pleased when Congress authorized the admission of women as cadets the next year. His major objection was that because women could not serve in combat — a policy abolished early this year — a West Point education would have no purpose for them. Berry, who had daughters of his own, also worried that women would lack the physical strength to be in the cadet corps, and that they might be a distraction to men on the campus. But after thinking about resigning if he failed to prevent the admission of women, Berry

said, he decided to do "what a

good soldier does." He began developing a curriculum to accommodate the women who would begin arriving in July 1976. The academy adopted lighter training rifles for them and let women take courses in self-defense rather t h an boxing and wrestling. Hazing of plebes, as new cadets are called, was curbed somewhat. The traditional gray uniforms were adapted to women's figures. And Berry came to believe that women could do the

job.

"Upon r e-examination, I have concluded that West Point will be strengthened by the admission of women," he said in an interview with The New York Times in 1976.

Women represented 10 percent of the original class. Today the academy limits enrollment of women to 16 percent of cadets, roughly matching the percentageofwomen on active duty in the Army. Berry also had to contend with a vast cheating scandal in 1976 involving an electrical engineering take-home test. More than 220 cadets were implicated and 152 expelled, then the sole penalty for violating the academy's code of honor. The episode led Berry to commission a t h orough reappraisal of the code, which not only prohibits lying, cheating and stealing but also orders cadets not to tolerate those who do. Although he made clear that his personal predilection

was for tough justice, he strove to make the system reflect the thinking of a new, more collaborative generation of cadets who were less willing to inform on one another. A fact-finding panel found that the code was overly rigid — that it demanded, in effect, "unattainable human behavior." A first remedial step was to suspend the cadet-run board that ruled on violations, usually harshly, and replace it temporarily with a board that included officers. Another step was to give the superintendent the right to impose lesser penalties than expulsion. Factors such as intent and personal circumstances are now taken into account in determining violations and punishment.

The designated hitter turned 40 this year. Fittingly, it's having sort of a mid-life crisis. Never before has the imbalance between the American and National Leagues

regarding Rule 6.10 been more of a potential problem. The designated hitter rule has been controversial from day one. It's been criticized and even confusing since it was born. So it's only natural that Major League Baseball's once-bold experiment will continue to exist unevenly and indefinitely. The DH debate

won't die. "A little controversy between the leagues is really not all bad," Commissioner Bud Selig said before the All-Star game in New York on Tuesday. • Mariners Selig cast one of the votes lookto for using the designated hitter improve i n A L g a mes starting in 1973, in the when he owned the Milwaukee second Br e w e rs, then an AL franchise. half,C3 He ack n o wledged this w e e k that further geographic changes to divisions could force MLB to either scrap the DH altogether or install it for the NL, but that's a future possibility and not an imminent plan.

Froome ic su t ir sta ewininTour eFrance By John Leicester The Associated Press

CHORGES, France — Even when he expects to lose, Tour de France champion-in-the-making Chr is Froome cannot help but win. He's that strong and he's making it look

easy. On a day when the British rider was planning to save some energy for upcoming mountains, Froome still brushed aside the field and took his third stage win of t hi s 100th TQU1'.

Alberto Contador, Froome's Spanish rival still trying to make a fight of this one-sided battle, gave his all in Wednesday's Alpine time trial. His face contorted in a grimace of effort as he sprinted out of the saddle to the line, while spectators whipped up a thunderclap of noise by banging their fistson the barriers.

Froome, having set offbehind Contador, sped in a few moments later. He, too,rode hard but looked more comfortable with his easy-on-the-eye

CYCLING Armstrong. That was in 2004, when Armstrong won five stages and de-

pedaling style, perched on his saddle, clared he'd be giving "no gifts" to his legs pumping underneath him like pistons in an ocean liner's engine room. C ontador shook hi s h ead a n d shrugged hisshoulders when television flashed that Froome beat his time by 9 seconds. This was another opportunity lost fo r C o ntador to make victory for Froome in Paris on Sunday at least feel less inevitable. nFroome is in impressive shape," was the understated assessment of the 2007 and '09 winner who was stripped of his 2010 victory for a failed doping test. The last Tour champion — now exchampion — to carry as many stage wins as Froome to Paris was Lance

rivals. That is all just a bad memory now. This Tour is the first since the serialdoper's name was erased last year from the race's honor roll, literally crossed out in the official history book. Froome swears that won't happen with him. He has repeatedly said when asked at this Tour that he is riding clean — an assurance that only has limited value in the poisonous atmosphere of doubt that is a legacy of the Armstrong years and the American's confession to Oprah Winfrey this January that he cheated for all seven of his Tour wins, from 1999-2007. "The problem today is that we are

traumatized by the past," Stephane Heulot, manager of the French Sojasun team, said in an interview. "We've seen too many stories like this. We've seen too many riders swearing on the heads of their kids, their grandmothers, their mothers that they're completely clean and then — bam! — 15 years,10 years, five years later we're told other things. Someone's word no longer means anything. We can't rely on that." A union that represents about 600 professionalriders from seven European nations supported Froome on Wednesday against what it called "unjustified allegations of doping." "It's not fair to blame someone without evidence against him," Gianni Bugno, president of the Association of Professional Riders, said in a statement. "We demand more respect for Chris and for all the riders."

In four days, as long as he gets through the Alps, Froome will be able to sip champagne in the saddle on the final ride to the Champs-Elysees, unusually staged in the evening this year. That would make it two victories in a row for Britain and for

Team Sky, after Bradley Wiggins' win last year. With wins in the Pyrenees and on Mont Ventoux, Froome has shown e xcellence going uphill. i t w o u l d be a big surprise if he wilted on the three days of A l pine climbs that start today with a double ascent to the ski station of L 'Alpe d'Huez, with its 21 hairpin bends to the top. Done twice, that's 42 bends packed with spectators to be negotiated. It promises to befrenzied and spectacular — a dramatic crescendo for what already has been a highlightrich Tour.

the Mariners. Smoak hit just .211 with one homer and five RBIs over the first 26 games in April, but has rediscovered his bat. In his past 42 games, Smoak is hitting .310 with 11 doubles, seven homers, 17 RBIs and .945 OPS. After more than two years of waiting, those are numbers the Mariners will take from their first baseman. "I think what we're seeing from him no w i s p r obably more real than it's ever been. ...

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Raul Ibanez is crushinghomers ata rate better than Barry Bonds or Ted Williams did at age 41, Felix Hernandez has 10 victories at the All-Star break, more than any other time in his career, and young p rospects Nick F ranklin, Brad M i l ler a n d Mike Zunino have provided a much-needed spark for the Seattle clubhouse. And still the Mariners arrived at the All-Star break nine games below.500 at 43-52. T he second half o f t h e season that begins Friday in Houston will have a significant impact on the direction of th e f r a n chise. General manager Jack Zduriencik and

playing tension free, probably

manager Eric Wedge have contracts that expire at the end of the season, and whether the Mariners can build on recent momentum could affect whether one or both return in 2014. The Mariners left spring training confident that a .500 record would b e a t tainable this season and prove as a springboard for 2014. But injuries to Michael Morse, Michael Saunders,Franklin Gutierrez and Justin Smoak, combined

with early struggles from key younger players like Dustin Ackley and Jesus Montero have left Seattle in a hole. Zduriencik said he doesn't anticipate being a ggressive around the trade deadline, but if the Mariners are completely out of postseason contention by July 31, will players like Morse, Kendrys Morales and Oliver Perez — all on oneyear deals— become tradable

pieces? "It would have been nice to be healthy. That would have been funto watch to see where it took us," Zduriencik said. "With a lot of the setbacks we had early, it is what it is. It's

part ofthe game and we've had our share." Ibanez has been a pleasant surprise. Signed to be a clubhouse leader and occasional bat, Ibanez has 24 homers and 56 RBIs at the break. Twentytwo of his homers have come since May 10, including 10 in June. Williams holds the record for most homers in a season at age 41 with 29. Ibanez is part of Seattle's power surge at the plate. They entered the break with homers in 22 straight games and are tied for second in baseball with 115 homers after hitting just 149 all of last year. Throw in the consistency of Kyle Seager, the comeback of Smoak and the electric debuts of Mill-

er and Franklin, and there's validity to the Mariners optimism for the last two month of the season. Seager continues to prove he was the real gem of the 2009 draftclass for the Mariners. He's hitting .293 with an .846 OPS. His strikeouts are up slightly, but so are his walks. While he still doesn't have the power numbers expected from a third baseman — he has 15 homers at the break — he's been hitting .310 since mid-April after an early slump. The changes Smoak made first started last summer when he was sent down to Triple-A Tacoma. It led to a strong September once he was back with

more than they ever have," Wedge said. "In this game, particularly, you have to hit tension free. You have to have everything going on upstairs with your plan and approach, but you have to be able to find that. And I think (Smoak) is as close as he's ever been." Franklin's confidence, Miller's old-school style with no batting gloves and stirrups, and Zunino's defense behind the plate brought youthful excitement in recent weeks and rekindled some hope they can be the anchors of a young core going into next season. Next season is a familiar refrainforMariners fans who have slogged through various rebuilding efforts since the last postseason appearance in 2001. Seattle appears close to reaching a competitive plateau, but August and September this year will be telling as to where they are in the process. "If you look at since those

guys have been coming up it's a whole different feel. It's a whole different level of athleticism in there and they bring a different attitude," Seager said. "If you look at all of us we're all around the same age so it's a young team but they bring a lot of promise, that's for sure."

MLB ALL-STAR NOTEBOOK

jones respects hard-throwing Chapman By Howie Rumberg The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Adam Jones swung right through the second straight pitch from Aroldis Chapman that topped 100 mph, then walked back to the American League dugout with a smile on his face. "That was fun. First pitch curveball'? C'mon," Jones said Tuesday night after the AL won the All-Star game 3-0. "He throws a hundred miles an hour. He threw me two 101 mph and he threw me a firstpitch curveball. Respect." Facing Matt Harvey's 98 mph fastball in a 10-pitch at-bat — another strikeout — in the second inning must've seen downright fair compared to looking silly against Chapman. "Everybody that toed the rubber looked good," Jones said. Dustin Pedroia shook his head when he struck out looking against 21-yearold Jose Fernandez on a 96 mph fastball. Baseball's batting leader Miguel Cabrera couldn't handle the three 98 mph pitches he saw from Fernandez, popping out into foulterritory. Home run leader Chris Davis was overmatched, too — by Harvey, a fellow firsttime All-Star. Davis popped up to center field after swinging at a 98 mph four-

seamer and then letting a 99 mph fastball zip by for a strike. "The guy's got electric stuff," Davis said. In all, the pitchers made the Midsummer Classic a showcase for the high-heat hurlers. Eighteen pitchers combined for 15 strikeouts. The NL managed only three hits, the AL nine. Closer Joe Nathan used to be considered one of the hard-throwing guys. Now he's not so sure. "You see the arms on both sides, guys throwing 100 mph," said Nathan, who reached 94 in the ninth. "I'm below the hitting speed now." Trade bait With the trade deadline approaching at the end of the month, several top contenders could be in the market for a reliable closer. No wonder Glen Perkins may be in high demand. Not only does he have 21 saves and a 1.82 ERA, he's struck out 47 and walked just seven in 34'/~ innings. Plus, he's a lefty. That's why Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan said last weekend at Yankee Stadium that almost any team would love to have Perkins, and it will be difficult to pry him away from the struggling Twins. But that doesn't mean Perkins,

an All-Star for the first time this season, isn't aware of speculation that he could be moved within the next two weeks. "I guess I pay attention to it. I don't take it for anything of value, I guess," he said. "I guess I learned last year, it was kind of the same story and nothing happened. I mean, I want to be a Twin, so I guess that's all I can do is go out and try to perform for them." Closing time Joe Nathan neverexpected to be pitching for a save. Not with baseball's career saves leader alongside him in the bullpen. The Rangers closer was called upon to finish off the American League's 3-0 win Tuesday night in the All-Star game at Citi Field after Mariano Rivera came on for the eighth inning. "I didn't know I was coming in to close until I was actually coming in from the bullpen," Nathan said. No slouch of a stopper himself, Nathan has 328 saves for Minnesota, Texas and San Francisco in a 13-year career. He has 30 this season — the same as Mo. But everyone in the bullpen was ready to defer to Rivera on this night. After the final out, Nathan got the game ball but he knew it didn't belong to him. He gave it to Mo.

During Woods era, Els doeswell making own place By Christopher Ciarey New Yorh Times News Service

GULLANE, Scotland Ernie Els was in short sleeves at Muirfield this week and pointing to the bare skin on his left arm. That was the place where

the hair was defying gravity last year on the 72nd hole of the British Open that he was, quite frankly, never supposed to win. "Walking down from the 18th tee right through to the putt that went in, my hair was just standing up," Els said. "It was the most amazing feeling I've ever had." That is quite a superlative from one of golf's great talents and communicators. But after long being trapped in the Tiger Woods era, Els has managed to carve out a significant historical role for himself. Last year's emotional, unexpected victory at R oyal Lytham, which came after Adam Scott blew a four-shot lead with four holes to play, gave Els his fourth major championship, 11 years after his third. He and Phil Mickelson, who also has w on four majors, now sit in a tie for second among full-time active tour players behind Woods, with his for-now untouchable career total of 14. Els — with his versatility, talent, power and beautiful, unhurried swing — deserves that kind of company. He is also in elite company this week, as both the defend-

ing Open champion and the defending champion at Muirfield. His f irst O pen v i ctory came here in 2002, after he managed to survive an epic, third-round storm that blew away Woods' chances and then prevailed over his own demons in a wild ride of a final round that featured a double bogey on 16, a birdie on 17 and ultimately a four-man playoff that was winnowed down t o a su d den-death playoff with the charismatic Frenchman Thomas Levet. It was a l l e x c ruciating enough to make one think Els' nickname, "The Big Easy," should be s t ricken from the record for good. There have been other challenges since then, both personal and professional, including his son's autism and the deterioration of his confidence and results. "It's been quite a ride; I'm very proud of the way we've kind of stuck with it," Els said at Muirfield on Monday, with his wife watching from the audience at hi s n ews conference. The last man to be a dou-

ble defending champion at an Open championship was Greg Norman, in 1994 at Turnberry. Norman had won there in 1986 and won the 1993 Open at Royal St. George's. Norman then tied for 11th in 1994. Els quite likely will n ot win again at Muirfield, either, on a brutal, hard-running course at a time when it i s p a r ticularly d i f ficult to predict success. There have been 20 different winners in the past 22 major championships. Big danger lurks at Muirfield, with its plentiful rough and its hard, parched fairways that are stirring comp arisons with R oyal L i v erpool in Hoylake in 2006, where Woods won and the fast-running conditions rendered the driver nearly irrelevant. Phil Mickelson does not even plan to carry one in his bag here this week, relying on his 3-wood. "It's like H o ylake was, it's that firm; don't drop a match," said Colin Byrne, Els' caddie. On Monday, Els f ound trouble on his first practice swing of the week, hooking his tee shot off the first into the deep rough. "Mulligan?" Els asked, nicely. The practice round got better from there, and Els clearly feelsat home on a course he has called his favorite on the British Open circuit. The course is in fact home

Ernie Eis smiles ahead of the British Open at Muirfieid, Scotland, on Wednesday. to a private, invitation-only club of700 members, where alternate shot is the game of choice and where visitor's tee times can be nearly as tough to come by as female mem-

bers (the club has none).

"It's just a wonderful design," Els said. "The par-3s are unbelievable. The par-5s have been changed a little bit. They're longer. Each and every hole is a little bit different. There's left to rights; right to lefts, and it all happens out there. Every links shot that

you can imagine, you're going to play it this week." Whether he is hitting a shot or walking toward the next one, Els seems to advance at a more deliberate, 20th-century pace than his peers. But at age 43, with

many of his career goals achieved, he is still winning (and still using the belly putter that will be banned in 2016). Last month, Els won the BMW International Open in Munich, his first title since last year's British Open. "He moves around in a very kind of docile-looking fashion sometimes, but he is driven and he has his goals still," Byrne said. "He's not laying down. He hasn't done it all yet." Byrne, a veteran caddie who moonlights as a c olumnist for the Irish Times, is one of Els' two alternating caddies this year. The other is the former National

Hockey League player Dan Quinn. "It keeps Ernie fresh; it keeps us fresh," Byrne said of the unusual arrangement. Keeping fresh seems the key at this stage and age, and to spend a day following Els this week was to see how many drains — pleasant or otherwise — there are on his time and concentration. On the driving range on Monday, he repeatedly interrupted his swing or had it interrupted by visitors. On the range or on the course, fans would call out from behind the barriers, and while Woods and other star golfers might have ignored the requests,Els rarely did,even beckoning to a young boy and his mother to come under the ropes and onto the fairway so he could sign an

autograph. "I don't think people realize," Byrne said of the demands. "He's the best I've seen, the most giving I've seen in that sense, the one who gets most involved." "It's like anything," he added. "You enjoy it more if you get involved as opposed to moving like a ghost through it, which a lot of them try and

do."

Els and Byrne made a preliminary visit last week to Muirfield, playing practice rounds and staying and dining together at Greywalls, the Georgian estate turned upscale hotel that sits hard against the course. "When he walked into the bar, hehad a flood of memories of who was there to celebrate with him and throw Champagne over him when he walked in after winning last time," Byrne said. There was m or e e nergetic toasting at Els' hotel in Lytham last year after his strong finish and Scott's collapse put the Claret Jug back in his possession. It traveled the world with hi m again — serving as photo magnet and party favor — until he returned it to Open organizers on Monday.

TH E BULLETIN• THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2013

DH Continued from C1 When Houston switched to the AL West this year to even out the leagues at 15 teams each, daily interleague games b ecame a necessity of t h e schedule. "At the moment," Selig said, "we are not going to change it." Perhaps the most polarizing of this spot1's many quirks and imperfections, the designated hitter came to be when AL teams sought to boost their

then-lagging product. The decision was made during a time when thetwo leagues were far less integrated than now. T he g i m mick n o t o n l y worked to i n crease scoring and attendance but created a way for some of the game's greatest hitters to extend their careers — and make a lot more money. Orlando Cepeda even credited the rule for boosting his Hall of Fame credentials, after Boston signed him for the 1973

season following a long career with San Francisco. "That was one of the best

years, because I was playing on one leg and I hit .289," Cepeda said earlier this season. "And I hit four doubles in one game. Both my knees were hurting, and I was designated hitter of the year." Designated hitters last year had the second-highest aver-

age salary by position at $8.1

The topfive At 40 years and counting, the designated hitter debate continues in

baseball. Inarguably, though, some of the game's greatest batters have been able to

extend or enhancetheir careers with the DH rule

in the American League. Here's one take on the top five designated hitters: 5. Harold Baines

Baines had a 22-year allAL career that began in 1980 with Chicago, and by1987 the DH was his regular position. Over the

final nine seasons of his career, Bainesappeared in the outfield in only one

game. But hekept on because of his bat, turning in one ofhis bestyears at age 40 in1999 when he

became anAll-Star for the sixth time. Baines hit.322 with 24 home runs and 81 RBls in just 345 at-bats that season for Baltimore, which traded him to Cleveland that August. 4. Frank Thomas

Thomas often spoke of the difficulty of being a good DH, given the challenge

Continued from C1 "This exact stage last year I attacked in the same spot, but I didn't have anyteammates in the front group, and Mancebo caught me," Gaimon recalled. This year, Gaimon did have the aid of his teammates. And with that help he was able to just hold off Mancebo, the two-time defending Cascade Classic champion. Gaimon, 27 and of Athens, Ga., is now in the yellow leader's jersey with a ninesecond lead on Mancebo and a 14-second lead on his teammate Baldwin. W ednesday's stage started at B i g Springs Sno-park and included a scenic 20-mile climb along the switchbacks of state Highway 242 and a 10-mile climb to the finish at Three Creek Sno-park south of Sisters. Yannick Eckmann, of Cal Giant, broke away by himself in the early part of the race and was eventually joined by three others toform a four-rider lead pack whose advantage grew to as big as 2:15. That group of four was caught late in the race, and Baldwin, joined by Nate English of 5-hour Energy, made the first move up Three Creeks Road. Gaimon caught up to his teammate and was able to slingshot into the lead and the stage win, with Mancebo hot on his wheel. (English reported on Twitter that his legs cramped badly in the last kilometer.) "Baldwin was up the road, just sort of frying, waiting for me to get across, and it was perfect," Gaimon said. "When I

Gavin Mannion of Bontrager was right behind Gaimon as he made his move to reach Baldwin, but Mannion crashed. "I think right when he was getting ready to start for the sprint, he sort of looked back to check the gap, and we got twisted a little bit," Gaimon said of Mannion. Four Bissell riders finished in the top five in Wednesday's stage, and three are now in the top five overall. Gaimon said

he believes they have the best team at the Cascade Classic, which continues today with the second stage, the Prineville Time Trial. "A lot of things can happen in the time trial, but there's another mountain stage so hopefully I can do something similar and get more time back," Gaimon said. "The team is super strong, and we've got all the best climbers here, with the exception of Mancebo." — Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmorical@bendbulletin.com.

the "Big Hurt" was used

million, behind first basemen at $8.6 million. That's the main reason why eliminating the DH to bring the AL back on line with the NL is almost unfathomable. Boston's David Ortiz, who r ecently passed Harold Baines on the career list for hits by a DH, is making $14 million this season at age 37. The designated hitter has also helped teams keep their best players in t h e l i n eup while giving them some type of rest. Minnesota All-Star catcherJoe Mauer is a prime example. When he needs a break from crouching behind the plate, manager Ron Garden can keep his potent bat in the lineup at DH. "I get a l o t o f q u estions about the DH, how we use it and all that stuff, but basically the way I see it is I'd rather see David Ortiz hit than some pitcher," Mauer said, intending no offense to his own teammates. "So we'll see. It is what it is right now." Most of Mauer's AL peers predictably express support for the DH's existence,even if a lot of them would rather play a position than sit around between at-bats. The power of the players' union, protective of this lucrative and prominent job, is another undeniable force for the DH. And despite the complaints from dads with

fans usually enjoy seeing runs cross the plate. The cumulative AL batting average has beaten the NL's mark in each of the first 40 seasons ofthe DH. The last time the NL hit above.270 was 1939. The AL has 11 seasons of .270-plus batting during the DH era. There are purists who have a hard time forgiving MLB for installing the DH, though. Remember the movie "Bull Durham," when Kevin Costner's character Crash Davis launches his crude rant about the qualities and superficialities of life. "I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter," he said. The NL guys, naturally, tout the purity of the no-DH game and the additional substitution strategy it provides. Many pitchers simply find it fun to try to hit — even if it means sometimes looking silly swinging meekly at strike three. Yes, DH c o n f licts k e ep on coming — even in spring training. The home team is supposed to decide whether or not to use it and sometimes managers disagree. Cincinnati's Dusty B aker wanted to use Shin-Soo Choo in that role for an exhibition game in March as a precaution for his tight right quadriceps, but Arizona's Kirk Gibson insisted on keeping the pitcher in the lineup so he could let starter B r andon M c Carthy take some swings. Baker and G ibson argued b efore t h e game about it at home plate. Gibson prevailedbecause the Diamondbacks were the host team. When the games count, of course, the DH is used in AL ballparks and pitchers bat in NL venues.

This year, that will f orce Detroit manager Jim Leyland to leave designated hitter Victor Martinez out of the lineup at Miami on the final weekend of the regular season while the other teams in the league use their DH as usual. If the AL Centralor wild-card races are still unsettled then, that's the kind of potentially pennantaltering wrinkle that could someday prompt a change. "I think that we need to get a unified set of rules, and I believe that we will get there some day," the 68-year-old Leyland said. "I don't know if I will be there to see it, but I think we will get there. I don't care which way we go, but I think that without question we need to do it."

Continued from C1 The three riders had one goal in mind: gaining time on prologue winner and CCC defending champion Alison Powers before today's Prineville Time Trial. They succeeded, as Powers, who rides for NOW and Novartis for MS, finished 10th and is now 4:23 behind McGrath, the new overall leader. Haeusler issecond overall, four seconds behind McGrath, and Abbott is third, 44 seconds behind her teammate. "We attacked in the steepest part of the first climb, and then we still had a long climbing distance to make a bigger gap," Haeusler said. "We started to really roll fast." McGrath said that Abbott worked especially hard the entire stage to set her up for today's time triaL "It was awesome," McGrath said. "The team was textbook. Claudia has a good kick. She got the stage win, but we'll just take it one stage at a time. I'm looking forward to (the time trial)." Three Exergyriders are among thetop fiveofthe overall standings. Abbott might be the best suited of those to win the Cascade. She is coming off a victory earlier this month in the Giro Rosa in Italy, widely considered the most prestigious race in women's road cycling. "We really did a great job today of getting our numbers up there, so not only do we have one leader, but we have a lot of chips to play over the next few days and that makes this race really exciting," Abbott said.

Equestrian Continued from C1 Nicole's husband and Tayler'sfather, Greg Cobb, purchased the stunning and spiritedhorse more than 10 years ago. But Nicole first laid eyes on Odie severalyears prior to the purchase at the ranch w here she worked. At t h e time, he was a 4-year-old stallion just starting his career. "I was t r aining horses," Nicole says. "(And) I started

jumping and showing him for two years. Then my husband bought him for me as a Christmas present. He was around 6 years old and he has been in the family ever since." While growing up, Tayler learned by watching her mom compete atop Odie. "She watched me win, lose, draw, and all the ups and downs of that horse," Nicole says. "So when she learned

to ride and jump, (Odie) knew everything and she had seen everything. It's just cool to have a horse that long (and) stay in the family." Flash forward nearly 13 years, and Odysseus is no longer partnered with Nicole but rather with Tayler. The teen rider and her savvy, seasoned horse have gone on to win c ountless competition classes and several thousand dollars in earnings in the past year alone. "I've been watching my mom compete at (the Grand Prix) level since I can remember," Tayler says. "So to be there is kind of unreal." According to Greg Cobb, Taylerand Odie are a perfect match. He says Odysseus is a completely different horse now. And, while it took years for Nicole to fully understand Odie's personality traits, it took Tayler mere months. Tayler's dad attributes her success to the unique bond she shares with Odysseus. "It's been an amazing tran-

sition," he says. "(Odie) was at the point with Nicole that we weren't sure where else he

could go. And with Tayler, it's been a great transition. The relationship between Odie and Tayler is 100 percent different than Odie and Nicole." While Tayler ha s b e en around horses her entire life, her mother was 12 when she started riding. Nicole quickly fell in love with the sport of horse jumping, and in order to finance the expensive competitions and t r aining she worked at barns in the Portland area cleaning stables, grooming horses and braiding manes. These days, both Tayler and Nicole are trained by Jeff Cook, of Bend. When Tayler was younger, Nicole was her primary trainer. But now that Tayler is aboard Odysseus, Cook has taken over most of the coaching. "Jeffcoached me on Odysseus for quite a few years," Nicole says. "And what was

cool was when she (Tayler) started riding him she had me to help, but at the horse shows, she has Jeff to help her. At the horse shows we almost always had someone else coach her, because (having) mom telling her what to do all the time gets old." According to Cook, Nicole and Tayler are both gifted

riders. He says the two have similar riding traits. "Nicole, I've always said, has a lot of natural talent," Cook says. "And Tayler, I see a lot of Nicole's talent in Tayler's riding." The mother and daughter rarely practice together because they ride at different stables, but they m aintain similar training routines. Nicole says strength training and conditioning are the most crucial elements in their workouts. "On the t r ained horses, like (Odie), those horses don't

typically practice jumping courses the same way we would when we're competing," Nicole says. "We save that for the ring." Tayler and Nicole competed against each other in the Jumpers 1.20-meter class Wednesday on the opening day of the 2013 Oregon High Desert Classics. Nicole was on board Blue Hour, a warmb lood mare, but ha d t w o faults and did not place. Tayler had no faults and ended up placing fifth in the class of 20 despite, according to her, riding cautiously with wide turns. During this week's High Desert Classics, Tayler hopes

to compete in the Young Riders class, in which she would jump fences ranging from 1.45 to 1.50 meters high, and also in the Oxford Hotel Group Grand Prix this Saturday. Nicole will be ridingnumerous horses for Bend's West Ridge Stables this week and may also compete in the Grand Prix. Like many young r iders, Tayler dreams o f c o m peting in the Olympics. But she acknowledges that she has a long way to go. She plans to attend a four-year college first but will continue competitions through school. "I think w i t h a n y s p ort you're really serious about, the Olympics is always at the top of your list," Tayler says. Her dad describes her ability t o c o nnect w it h e v ery horse, calling it her equestrian strength. " Tayler has a n uncanny natural ability w i t h p r e tty much every horse she gets on to bond with that horse," Greg Cobb says. Nicole's goals are more short-term a nd m u ch cheaper. While sh e e njoys riding competitively against her daughter, she is working on trying to beat Tayler in the Grand Prix that started it all in this family rivalry: the Bend Fall Fest Horse Show in September. "My favorite part is getting to watch my kid and just being so proud of her," Nicole says. "But, watch out!" she adds with a smile. "I'm coming for you, Tayler!" — Reporter: 541-383-0375, eoller@bendbulletin.com.

BRIEFING

grant Wednesdayto help residents of the Century Drive Mobile

Home Park purchase the Bend property.

The grant money will cover the cost of buying the 60-unit west-side park, help the residents

appoint a board of directors and pay for some operating costs, under a cooperative model.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve's chairman, Ben Bernanke, sharpened his insistence Wednesday that the Fed remains committed to its economic stimulus campaign and that it did not intend to signal it was lowering its sights in recent weeks. Bernanke said the Fed expectedthe economy to

gain strength in the coming months, potentially allowing the Fed to decelerate its stimulus campaign not because it has changed its goals but because it has begun to achieve them. But he warned that Congress remains the greatest obstacle to faster growth. Federal spending cuts are reducing growth this year by about 1.5 percentage points, he said.

While the Fed expects the impact to diminish nextyear, he said there was a risk Congress would create new problems for the economy. "The risks remain that tight federal fiscal policy will restrain economic growth over the nextfew quarters by more than we currently expect, or that the debate concerning other fiscal policy issues, such as the status of the debt ceil-

ing, will evolve in a way that could hamper the recovery," Bernanke said during a biannual appearance before the House Financial Services Committee. Wednesday may have marked the last time that Bernanke will appear before the committee to report on the Fed's conduct of monetary

policy. He will conclude his second

Members of both parties took the opportunity to praise him, although Republicans generally added that they opposed the Fed's recent efforts. "You acted boldly and decisively and creatively — very creatively, I might add," said the committee's chairman, Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.

The Bulletin

As Larry Johnson stood in his Redmond driveway looking at his fifth-wheel trailer, he had an idea: Takethe RV's electrical conversion concept and make it portable. "Why can't I use the same electrical system that it has, and put it in a tiny box and take it with me?" he said. The thought led to the creation of Johnson's home business, Johnson's Power Tech Innovations — a portable power generator company. In May 2012, he built his first portable solar-powered generator for himself. Since then, the 52-year-old has been

busy inventing in his garage, when he's not at his day job. He furtherdeveloped the generator, now called Johnson's

Portable Power House, along with a miniature version and an accessory battery unit. And in the next month, he plans to market his product by teaming up with a nationally known solar-panel company, whose name he would not reveal. Johnson said he's been finalizing research and development, but he plans to start selling online within the next year. Johnson's Portable Power House will be priced at $1,000 and the miniature power box will sell for about

$350.

"I'm sort of an accidental businessman," he said. "I made this for me. I wanted to have one in case there was ever an emergency for power, or so I could take it camping."

Unlike plugging a recre-

ational vehicle into a campground power outlet, which converts 120 volts into 12 volts, his system does the opposite. The Power House converts 12-volt power into a 120-volt household current, allowing him to operate equipment like an electric chain saw. It produces a total of 1,100 watts. Adding the accessory battery unit, he said, doubles the power, increasing the run time of heavier appliances, like refrigerators. To charge the batteries, he said, the device offers two options: It can be plugged in, or it can be recharged through its built-in solar charging system. "It's like a generator, but it doesn't usefuel,"he said,referring to the solar option. The miniature "no frills" unit he developed contains a battery pack and a power inverter to charge cellphones,he said. However, it doesn't have the solar charging system. But this is just the begin-

ning for Johnson. He has more products in development, he said. He's currently building a 3,000-watt version that will fit in a pickup truck toolbox. It will be geared toward contractors and off-road enthusiasts. "It will be permanently on their truck and ready to go, so if they go anywhere they can plug into it," he said. "All the electrical components are in the bottom, and the top half people can still use as a toolbox." Johnson is also making a smart generator that only runs when needed. In addition, he's

developing a bigger portable solar-powered generator for first responders to use in natural disasters. "I hope it will build into something big," he said, referring to his company. "I think it's a million-dollar company if I do it right." — Reporter: 541-617-7818, rrees@bendbulletin.com

New home starts fell 9.9 percent in June, driven largely by weakness in apartment building, an industry group reported Wednesday. The drop was unexpected, given that builders' confidence in the housing market is hitting highsnot seen since the hous-

ingboom. New residential construction has been in recovery this year as home prices, sales and rents have risen. Privately owned housing starts in June were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 836,000 units. That 10 percent drop appears out of step with survey data showing builders are highly optimistic about the future. An index measuring builder confidence rose for the third consecutive month in July to its strongest level since January 2006, the National Association of Home Builders reported Tuesday. While June's housing start figure was a decline from May, it was 10.4 percent higher than June 2012. Single-family home starts clocked in at an annual rate of 591,000 in June, a 0.8 percent decline from May. Credit Suisse economists called the results a "disappointment," but predicted that the declineswould reversethemselves in coming months due to the volatility of apartments. "Fade the noise," the economists wrote. "For now, the momentum in actual new homebuilding softened at the end of (the second quarter), but since the weakness was centered in the noisier part (multi-, not single-family), it likely won't be sustained."

Hot Pockets aim to goupscale Los Angeles Times

ing ingredients, packaging and two new types of crust include

To the parade of familiar products that are remaking themselves to lure foodies, add this unlikely entrant: the Hot Pocket. The brand wants to ditch its decadeslong reputation as a thawed-out brick of dough with machine-cut blocks of lunch meat. Instead, it wants the microwaveableturnovers to be taken seriously. Hot Pockets, owned by Nestle USA, is approaching its 30th anniversary by revamp-

promotion in what marketing director Daniel Jhung calls "the biggest relaunch in the history of the brand." The hope is to better appeal to the so-called millennial generation of young foodies while escaping from a recent revenue rut. To do it, the company is stuffing its dozens of Hot Pockets varieties with more upscale ingredients, including premium meats such as shaved hickory ham and slow-cooked Angus beef. The

a buttery garlic option and a crispy version akin to a savory croissant. The items, made in kitchens in Los Angeles and Kentucky, will be available not only in grocery stores but also via the recently expanded Amazon Fresh online delivery program. Celebrity chef Jeff Mauro, host of the Food Network series "Sandwich King," has signed on to plug the updated products and potentially even design a Hot Pocket himself.

Fauting the cure in Brazi

By Noam N. Levey and Anna Gorman

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTONAmericans are exercising more, but that has not done much to slim their waistlines, underscoring the immense challenge confronting doctors and health advocates fighting the nation's obesity crisis. In more than two-thirds of the nation's counties — including some of the unhealthi-

and women became more physically active over the last decade, according to data published Wednesday in the online journal Population Health Metrics. Three-quarters of California's counties saw gains in physical fitness for both men and women. Women made much more progress than men in raising the level of physical activity. The percentage of California women who got sufficient weekly exercise increasedfrom 50.7to 59.2 percent from 2001 to 2011, while the percentage of physically active men increased from 59.4 to 61.3 percent. But these improvements have done little to reduce obesity, researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation concluded. In California, obesity rates increased in every county between 2001 and 2009. National rates also climbed, although some recent evidence suggests the rates may be leveling

off. "There has been a lot

of progress on physical activity," said Christopher Murray, lead author of the research. "But we probably also need to do more. There are still more calories coming in ... than calories going out in physical activity." Today, more than one-third of U.S. adults and about 17 percent of children are obese, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many health experts say exercise helps prevent disease but that the only way to lose weight is through

dietary changes.

Jace Oppenlander, of Madras, washes his pig in preparation for the 2012 Crook County Fair & Rodeo. Public health officials have warned fairgoers about the risk of a new form of swine flu that has been linked primarily to county and state fairs.

By MarkianHawryluk • The Bulletin

isitors to the fair might expect to get sick if they overindulge in sweet, deep-fried treats or if they lack the constitution for a carnival ride. But public health officials are warning of a new risk: A strain of swine flu virus that has been linked primarily to pigs exhibited at county fairs. The new strain, known as H3N2, has infected more than 330 individuals across 13 states over the past three years and has been linked almost exclusively to pigs exhibited at fairs. The flu virus has been circulating among pigs since 1998 and was first identified in humans with 12 H3N2v cases in 2011. (Naming conventions add a "v" for variant at the end the strain's name when the virus is transmitted from animals to humans.) Last year, the number of confirmed human cases jumped to 309, resulting in 16 hospitalizations and one death. And earlier this month, Indiana public health officials confirmed the first 12 cases of 2013. The vast majority of hospitaliza-

tions occurred in young children or

M EDIC I N E

individuals with underlying medical conditions that e x acerbated their illness. Most people who contract the virus experience mild symptoms — fever, sore throat, cough and body aches — similar to those associated with the seasonal flu. Children younger than 5, adults older than 65 and pregnant women are at the highest risk of contracting the virus, as are people with chronic health conditions such as asthma,lung diseases,diabetes,heart diseases, weakened immune systems, neurological or developmental conditions.

SAO PAULO — Every weekday morning dozens of government vans, ambulances and battered sedans marked with the seals of towns across Sao Paulo state drop off their passengers at Santa Casa Hospital and others in the metropolitan area. The drivers set out as early as 3 a.m. to transport residents of far-flung cities and towns, MPNEg residents who have waited months or sometimes years to see a specialist, have surgery or get a CT scan, services not available at their spare clinics back home. On a recent day, Nilson Esteves, 32,traveled from rural Pedro de Toledo to pick up test results; he has been waiting three years to have a benign tumor the size of a tennis ball removed from his neck. Georgina Barbosa, a 70year-old widow, came from Capivari after waiting three months to get treatment for bladder stones. "If it was going to kill me, I'd be dead already," she said. Barbosa is painfully familiar with the perils and inadequacies of Brazil's public health system, a focal point of the protests that shook Brazil last month. Both of her sons died in their 40s, one from a heart ailment and one from diabetes, and she lost vision in one eye during a recent operation. Her frustrations are reflected in a national poll from late June in which 48 percent of respondents said they thought health care was Brazil's biggest problem. (Education was second at 13 percent.) But President Dilma Rousseff's overall efforts to respond to the protesters' concerns have disappointed many Brazilians, and her health care proposals have particularly antagonized many of the country's doctors. When Rousseff spoke to the nation during the protests, her main message about health care was that Brazil would "bring in thousands of foreign doctors to expand the care provided" by the public health system.

Post-surgery?Recover with gumboand taeos By David Hagedorn

Droopy Eyelids Getting You Down?

Special to The Washington Post

You know those people who undergo major surgery butkeep it under the radar because they don't want to be a bother to anyone? Well, I'm not one of them. Before my hip replacement in mid-May, I let everyone know I was open to receiving lavish attention, especially the edible sort. Enduring bone-on-bone NUTRlTlpN arthritis for s everal years and having a hip replaced at 54 surelyearned me some pampering. My friends and family followed through splendidly, even organizing a dinner tree for people to choose dates on which to bring food, usually enough for an entire day's worth of meals. Now that I'm nearing the end of my first two months of recovery, I realize the significant role that food played in those first few weeks. Mealtimes in the hospital were bright spots in otherwise dreary and painful days, and therefore palliative. Once I was home, the need for others to bring food was even greater. In the initial days, my fiance, Michael, had his hands full helping me get around our multilevel house. SeeRecovery/E6

That's when they signed upfor their first road

"It's taking away all of the big, scary ideas that come with 5Ks," the 26-year-old said.

The RunWalk concept also applies to how Jackie Evans chooses to train. She completed her first half-marathon in 2010 and did11 in

she said.

Can there e too muchstickinessin a shoe? By Gretchen Reynolds

Cleats prepared for use on kickoffs, turf fields and grass fields by Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes. Athletic shoes' grip can aid

New York Times News Service

Sometimes i n n ovative science requires innovative machinery, like a fourlegged robotic sled that can wear shoes, a contraption recently developed and deployed by researchers at the University of Calgary to test whether grippy athletic shoes affect injury risk. It's well-known, of course, that shoe traction influences athletic performance, especially in sports that involve sprinting or cutting, meaning abrupt rapid shifts in direction. In broad terms, more traction leads to better results. In a 2009 study of soccer players and their footwear, for instance, researchers tested forward s p rinting and sideways cutting speed while the players wore their normal soccer shoes, and again after the shoes' cleats had been shaved down in length by 50 percent and then by 100 percent, meaning they were flat against the outsole. While wearing the shortened cleats, the players had less traction on the field and were significantly slower moving forward or sideways. But these and similar studies did not establish whether more shoe traction is always desirable or if there is such a thing as too much stickiness in a shoe. Athletic shoes have two primary types of traction. One keeps you sticking to the ground as you move forward. The other,called rotational traction, kicks in

ties, in Appalachia, now live shorter lives than people in Vietnam, Yemen and Sudan. D espite the g r i m n e w s , Murray and o t hers believe the uptick in exercise is likely eventually to deliver significant health benefits. "Exercise h a s a m a z i ng virtues," said Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. "It helps p r event cardiovasculardisease, build muscle tone and reduce bone loss. It improves mental health, and it reduces stress. ... All o f t h ose ar e v i tally important." Some of the biggest gains in physical activity over the last decade occurred in America's unhealthiest counties in the Deep South and Appalachia. Overall, six of the 10 counties that improved most for men and 7 of the 10 that improved most for women are in Kentucky. Counties around California also saw significant increases in physical activity, according to the report. The counties that improved the most for women were Stanislaus, Mariposa and Merced, and for men, Stanislaus, Tehama and Lake. In Los Angeles County, 59.5 percent of men and 55.5 percent of women got sufficient exercise in 2011. Researchers defined sufficient physical activity as 150 minutes of moderate activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity. R esearchers did no t s a y what may explain the suc-

performance but it can also raise the risk of injury. Bnan Harkin New York Times News Service

Playing surface, meanwhile, had almost no effect on injury risk. Injury rates were similar on grass and artificial turf, whatever shoes the players wore. What these findings mean in practical terms, Wannop says, is that for the ideal mix of athleticperformance and reduced injury risk, a shoe should have "high t r anslational t raction values and relatively low rotational traction values." Good luck, however, finding precisely that shoe. Companies don'tadvertise shoes' traction values and probably can't, Wannop said, since they

will vary, depending on your

when you move sideways or shift direction. The amounts of each type of traction depend on a shoe's outsole material and on whether it has cleats and, if so, how many, their size and shape, and how they are positioned. For some time, most researchers have believedthat forward traction does not have much effect on i njury r i sk, while rotational traction does. But that idea had been difficult to test in real-world situations.So researchers at the Human Performance Lab at the University of Calgary created their shoe-wearing robotic tester. Mounted on rails, it can move forward or sideways on a field at whatever speed the researchers choose, while its "feet" stay in contact with the ground and various sensors determine forward and

cesses. But George Flores, a physician an d p r o gram manager at Th e C alifornia Endowment, said he believed increased awareness, neighborhood changes, the f i r st lady's exercise initiative and policy changes all contribute to people exercising more. Flores said that the messages about the benefits of healthy eating and exercise are getting through to many people and communities. Cities across the state have built parks, added sidewalks and invested in farmers markets and grocery stores. But there is still a "patchwork of progress," he said. "Things have to change so there are fewer barriers to healthy behaviors." Even with t h e i m p rovements, huge disparities exist in California and the U.S. in both exercise patterns and obesity. In the least healthy counties n a tionally, f e w er than a third of women and fewer than four in 10 men got sufficient physical exercise, according to the report. In California, only 45 percent of women and 46 percent of men were sufficiently active in Imperial County in 2011, the lowest percentage in the state. On the other end of thespectrum, 74 percent of women in Marin County and 72 percent of men got sufficient exercise — the highest in the state. M erced County ha d t h e highest obesity rates for men and women in 2011, and San F rancisco County ha d t h e lowest.

rotational traction. With this robot tester at the ready, the researchers recruited hundreds of local high school football players and borrowed their shoes. They fitted each shoe onto the robot tester and determined its unique forward and sideways traction. The various shoes varied widely in terms of traction, said John Wannop, the University of Calgary kinesiologist who led the study. The scientists then returned the shoes to the players and asked each team's trainer to track all noncontact leg injuries throughout the season. This experiment was repeated for two more years, during which time the playing fields were switched from grass surfaces to artificial turf. At the end ofthe three seasons, the scientists compared traction

Swine spreading primarily from pigs

the pigs. Pigs can catch swine-, human- and b i r d-flu s t rains, making them a sort of mixing bowl for the flu, and the source of many new strains of viruses. Each flu virus is made up of eight genes, and as different strains interact, they swap genes to form various new combinations. Some strains, like the HINI virus that swept through North America in 2009, might be highly contagious, but for most people not very deadly. Others, like the H7N9 bird-flu strain in China, might be extremely dangerous for humans but not as easily passed on from individual to individual. The fear for public health officials i s t h a t a s d i f f erent strains of the virus swap genes, they could find a combination that is both highly contagious and deadly. "The potential is there for newly emerged strains to be the next pandemic we never saw coming," said A ndrew Bowman, a veterinary medic ine researcher wit h O h i o State University who is studying the new strain. The H3N2 virus, circulating among pigs, contains swine, bird and human genes, and shares a common gene with the HINl virus. But CDC officials believe th e c u r rent strain has a r e latively low risk of becoming a pandemic, in part because blood tests show many adults have some c ross-immunity from a h u man-flu virus that circulated in the 1990s. Children younger than 10, however, have little or no immunity, so an outbreak could hit day cares or school settings particularly hard. In 2011 and 2012, 9 out of 10 infections were in children, and the seasonal flu vaccine is not designed to protect against this particular strain.

Fairs Virtually all of the transmission so far has been linked to fairs. Humans and pigs come into contact at three major sites: commercial swine production, slaughterhouses and agricultural fairs. While fairs involve only a minuscule percentage of the total pig population, more people come into contact with pigs at fairs than in any other setting in the U.S. Pigs come to fairs from a number of different locations, raised under varied conditions, with different levels of immunity. There, they interact with millions of people who don't have any regular contact with swine or the pathogens they harbor. When infected pigs cough or sneeze, they released droplets containing the virus into the air. Those droplets can be inhaled by people or can land

shouldn't be that surprising.

If you bring 200-plus pigs together from multiple locations and house them with new neighbors for a week in a new environment, they are all bound to share pathogens," Bowman said. "But we were surprised to find as much flu as we did subclinically, when p igs weren't showing a n y signs of illness." That could also explain why so many people got sick last year. If the pigs didn't appear to be sick, there would be no reason to remove them from competition or for visitors to avoid them. Bowman's finding are troubling for many states who are counting on identifying and removing sick pigs as their primary strategyfor preventing an outbreak. In the 12 cases in Indiana this year, the pigs did not show any outward signs of illness.

Vaccines T he I n diana B o ar d o f Animal Health issues guidelines for fairs, and exhibitors strongly recommending that all swine be vaccinated for influenza, wit h t w o d o s es within 120 days prior to the opening of the fair. Most vaccines require at least a 21-day waiting period before an animal is slaughtered for human consumption. V accinating pigs fo r t h e H3N2 virus, h owever, has proved tricky. Just like human vaccines, swine vaccines need to be regularly updated to account for new strains. Humanflu vaccines contain t h r ee strains, which a r e c h osen each year in a prediction of what will be circulating in the upcoming flu season. Swine vaccines aren't updated nearly as often. Bowman said the updates are at the discretion of the commercial swine vaccine producers. A s t udy p u b lished t h i s month in the journal Virology found that the commercially available swine vaccines provide only limited protection
