The White House is threatening to veto a bill to boost logging on national forests, including a provision aimed at producing more money for timber counties in Oregon. The Statement of Administration Policy issued Wednesday by the Office of Management andBudget says if the bill were presented to President Obama, his senior advisers would recommend aveto. The bill includes a provision developed by members of the Oregon delegation to turn over half the so-called O&C lands in Western Oregon to a stateappointed trust that would manage them for timber production. The other half would be managed for fish and wildlife habitat, and includes creation of new wilderness areas. The measure includesa federal subsidy for timber counties until the logging revenues start to come in. The administration says that would harm habitat for endangered species, increase the chance of lawsuits, and limit the president's ability to create national monuments. The bill could hit the House floor for debate as early as today, said Andrew Malcolm, an aide to Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, a co-sponsor of the bill. Since 1937, the socalled O&C counties have receivedhalfthe gross revenues from timber cut on a patchwork of federal lands in Western Oregon that reverted to the federal government after the bankruptcy of the Oregon and California Railroad.

WASHINGTON — Despite deep divisions that have kept Congress

from passing new gun safety laws for almost two decades, there is one aspect of gun control on which many Democrats, Republicans and even the National Rifle Association agree: the need to give mental health providers better resources to treat

dangerous people and prevent them from buying weapons. Yet efforts to improve the country's fraying mental health system to help prevent mass shootings have stalled on Capitol Hill, tied up in the broader fight over expanded background checks and limits on weapons sales. Now the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard by a man who authorities say showed telltale signs of mental illness is spurring a push to move ahead with bipartisan mental health policy changes. As a result, the new gun control debate may not be over weapons but could instead focus on whether to spend more money on mental health care. Proponents again face

a steep uphill push, given complex political dynamics, but they see an opening even if it remains unclear whether any changes under consideration could have headed off the latest attack, in which the authorities say Aaron Alexis, a former Navy reservist, bought the shotgun he used in Virginia.

Growers usingfalconsto scare off fruit-eating birds By David Pierson Los Angeles Times

To keep pesky birds away from his blueberries, veteran farmer Mark Flamm has blared recordings of avian distress calls, shot noisy "bird bangers" from a pistol and ordered an employee to shake a gravel-filled bottle at

the sky. He even went old-school and planted a scarecrow. "That didn't work," said Flamm, 58, who once lost a fifth of his berries to his feathered foe despite the efforts, "though I got a picture of a bird sitting on the scarecrow."

That's when he called in the falcons. Starting three years ago, the central Washington state grower hired Vahe Alaverdian of Falcon Force, a master falconer based in La Crescenta, Calif., to drive out the flocks ofsparrows and starlings that were fattened off

Flamm's fields. Using a hunting technique that some think dates back to the Bronze Age, Alaverdian prompted his raptors to launch into a series of high-speed dives, called "stooping," meant to mimic the capture of winged prey. The maneuvers — not unlike

Ryabkov spoke after meeting with Assad and his foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem.

"We are unhappy about this report," Ryabkov said in remarks broadcast by the state television network, RT. "We think that the report was distorted. It was one-sided.

A CAPULCO, Mexi c o — The toll from devastating twin storms climbed to 80 on Wednesday as isolated areas reported deaths and damage to the outside world. Mexican officials said another 58 people were missing in a massive landslide in t h e m o untains north of Acapulco. The storm that devastated t he Pacific resort over t h e weekend regained strength Wednesday and became Hurricane Manuel, taking a route that could see it make landfall on Mexico's northwestern coast. It would be a third blow to a country still reeling from the one-two punch of Manuel's first landfall and Hurricane Ingrid on M e xico's eastern coast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Manuel was hugging Mexico's coast late Wednesday and was about 5 miles from the village of Altata. It called Manuel a small hurricane that i s e x pected to produce between 5 and 10 inches of rain over the state of Sinaloa.

They can stop using drugs when provided with alternative reinforcers." A si m i l a r ass e ssment comes from Dr. David Nutt, a British expert on drug abuse. "I have a great deal of sympathy with Carl's views," said Nutt, a professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London. "Addiction always has a social element, and this is magnified in societies with little in the way of work or other ways to find fulfillment." S o why do w e k eep f o cusing so much on specific drugs? One reason is convenience: It's much simpler for politicians and journalists to focus on the evils of a drug than to grapple with the underlying social problems. But Hart also puts some of the blame on scientists. "Eighty to 9 0 p ercent of people are not negatively aff ected by drugs, but in t h e scientific l i t erature n e arly 100 percentofthe reports are negative," Hart said. "There's a skewed focus on pathology. We scientists know that we get more money if we keep telling Congress that we're solving t hi s t e r rible p r oblem.

The United States now ranks 11th in the world in cases of plague, according to a new survey of the disease. With 57 cases in a decade, it is far below the hardest-hit countries, Congo with 10,581 and Madagascar with 7,182. Still, it is the only wealthy country on the list; 97 percent of cases are in Africa. The survey was p u blished by The A m erican Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. The Black Death killed a third of Europe in the 14th century, but cases are no longer found there, probably because cities keep rat populations down, said the author, Dr. T h omas Butler, a plague expert at Ross University M edical School in the West Indies. By contrast, in the American Southwest, the bacteria have shifted into rural

squirrels and prairie dogs. Most cases come from flea bites, but in the U.S. a national parks biologist died after inhaling the bacteria while doing a necropsy of a mountain lion, and a 60-year-old geneticist in Chicago died, apparently after being careless with a researchstrain he believed was safe.

IN FOCUS:LITERARY DISCOVERY

Footbridge

Mystery slavenovelist may e i enti ie By Juiie Bosman New Yorlz Times News Service

In 2002, a novel thought to be the first written by an African-American woman became a best-seller, praised for its dramatic depiction of Southern life in the mid-1850s through the observant eyes of a refined and literate house servant. But one part of the story remained a tantalizing secret: the author's identity. That literary mystery may have been solved by a professor in South Carolina, who said this week that after years of research, he has discovered the novelist's name: Hannah Bond, a slave on a North Carolina plantation owned by John Hill Wheeler, is the actual writer of "The Bondwoman's Narrative," the book signed by Hannah Crafts.

Beyond simply identifying the author,the professor's research offers insight into one of the central mysteries of the novel, believed to be semi-autobiographical: How a house slave with limited access to education and books was heavily influenced by the great literature of her time, like "Bleak House" and "Jane Eyre," and how she managed to pull off a daring escape from servitude disguised as a man. The professor, Gregg Hecimovich, the chairman of the English department at W i nthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C., has uncovered previously unknown details about Bond's life that have shed light on how the novel was possibly written. The heavy influences of Dickens, for instance, particularly from "Bleak House," can be

explained by Bond's onetime servitude on a plantation that routinely kept boarders from a nearby girls' school; the curriculum there required the girls to recite passages of "Bleak House" from memory. Bond, secretly forming her own novel, could have listened while they studied, or spirited away a copy to read. The research also shows that Bond may have been given a man's suit by a member of the Wheeler family who was sympathetic to her desire to flee.

Starbucks Guns wants guns out

of shops

By Stephanie Strom New York Times News Service

Tired of being thrust onto the front lines of the nation's debate over guns, Starbucks is asking customersto leave firearms behind when they are in its stores and its outdoor seating areas.

The policy change came on the heels of a shooting rampage at the Washington Naval Yard on Monday that left 13 people, including the gunman, dead, but Starbucks said its decision was not in response to that or to the shooting spree that killed 26 children and adults last year at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. "I've spent a s i g nificant amount of personal time on this issue in the last several months, and I've seen the emotionally charged nature of this issue and how polarizing it is on both sides," Howard Schultz, the chief executive of Starbucks, said. "Nevertheless, customers in many stores have been jarred and fairly uncomfortable to see guns in our stores, not understanding the issue and feeling that guns should not be part of the Starbucks experience, especially when small kids are around." Under the change, baristas and other store employees will not ask customers who come in with guns in holsters, say, to leave or confront them in any way, Schultz said. No signs explaining the policy will be posted in Starbucks stores, either. He said store officials would evaluate compliance over time and consider posting signs if

necessary. The majority of companyowned Starbucks stores are in states that allowpeople to openly carry guns, although restrictions and limitations vary from state to state. Under its previous policy, however, Starbucks has been unwillingly co-opted by proponents of "open carry" policies and vilified by those seeking stricter laws on gun ownership. "Pro-gun activists have used our stores as a political stage for media events misleadingly called 'Starbucks Appreciation Days' that disingenuously portray Starbucks as a champion of open carry," Schultz wrote in an open letter to be published in ads in major newspapers.

Continued from A1 "Given the clear connection between recent mass s hootings and m e ntal i l l ness, the Senate should not delay bipartisan legislation that would help address this issue," Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Mark Begich, DAlaska, wrote Wednesday in a joint statement to the Senate leadership. The legislation they are pushing, which was held up when a more

sweeping gun measure was defeated earlier t his y ear, d espite receiving only tw o no votes, would establish programs to train teachers to recognize the signs of mental illness and how to defuse potentially violent situations. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the majority leader and a strong proponent of the failed Senate plan to expand the federal background check system, is resisting any move to advance the mental health p rovisions, fearing that i t

would be used as a fig leaf by those who oppose expanded checks while closing the door to weapons restrictions in the future. Both Ayotte and Begich opposed the gun control bill that failed in April. Some gun rights advocates fear the opposite: that opening discussion on m e ntal health could be a back door to a flood of new federal gun laws. But several senators, like Sen. Richard B l umenthal, D-Conn., who has pushed f or tougher gu n l a w s i n the wake of last year's elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., see mental health policy as a way forward. "Mental health i s r e ally the key to unlocking this issue," Blumenthal said. "I've become more and more convinced that we should establish the mental health issue as our common ground." But while state lawmakers have taken steps in recent years to make buying weapons harderforcertain people showing signs o f m e n t al illness in p laces including New York, Connecticut and Florida, where the legislation won the blessing of the NRA, there is not yet serious discussion in Congress of do-

ing so. "If you're having auditory hallucinations, that's a sign of schizophrenia," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., referring to reports that Alexis suffered f r o m d e l u sions. Though someone like that should not have a gun, Coburn said, he expressed little faith that C ongress could

After the manuscript was authenticated, major book publishers took notice, and a 336page book was released in 2002 by Warner Books, now Grand Central Publishing. Hecimovich, though his academic background is in Victorian literature, was intrigued by the manuscript and its author. In 2003 he set out on what became an obsessivequest to

identify her, digging through archives to find relatives of the Wheeler family, conducting interviews, studying documents and working past dozens of dead ends. The road to Hannah Bond, he said, was definitely not a "straight line." But eventually he found her name in court and property records. Through interviews and archival research, Hecimovich discovered that she had escaped from the Wheeler plantation and taken shelter with a family named Crafts in upstate New York, a possible reference to the pseudonym adopted for the book. Yet important clues about Bond's life have not been found. In one scene in the book, Ellen Wheeler dictates a letter to her maid. While it could be a wholly invented scene, Hecimovich said that it could easily indicate that the real Ellen Wheeler did the same with Bond. He has searched for a letter matching that description, in the hope that the letter's handwriting would match that of the manuscript and provide even more proof that Bond the slave and the "Bondwoman" author were one and the same. But so far he has been unsuccessfuL

"But the biggest benefit of the downstream bridge is that

it helps us separate the construction schedules so we're not without a b r idge for a

S mith owns the grassy area adjacent to Miller's Landing Park on the north side of the river and has said the downstream bridge better suits his development plans. If the district decides to constructa new bridge where the existing bridge stands, it must first demolish th e 2 6 -footwide existing footbridge. That would mean footbridges upstream at Columbia Park and downstream near the Old Mill District only. "We have heard a lot of interest about where the bridge is located from commuters and other r e gular u s ers," said Pat Erwert, director of park services. "Wherever we end up locating the bridge, it will be a great advantage to have a whitewater feature unlike anywhere else in the Northwest." — Reporter: 541-383-0376, skmg@bendbulletm.com

LOOKING AHEAD: SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

C. ~

Los Angeles Times

L ONDON — E x a ctly a year before Scotland decides w hether to r emain part o f Great Britain or go it alone, supporters of i n dependence c lashed W e dnesday w i t h t hose who want t o stay i n the British fold, heralding 12 months of searching debate on this island over fundamental notions of national identity. S cottish voters go to t h e polls Sept. 18, 2014, in a referendum that could radically redraw the political map of the British Isles. F irst M i nister A le x S a l mond, an ardent nationalist, said the time had come for Scotland to break away from England and Wales and claim sovereignty o v e r we i g hty mattersof state,from defense to education, without interference from the central British government in London. " Independence i s a b out giving ourselves the power to make our country as good as it can be," Salmond told members of the semi-autonomous Scottish P a r l iament. "It's about the right to decide, the ability to make these choices." But he w a s i m mediately lambasted by opposition lawmakers who accused him of sowing d i vision, appealing to a reflexive nativism and misleading voters about the benefits — and costs — of independence. "It's because I'm a proud

Falcons Continued from A1 "It's amazing. Suddenly all the other birds go quiet because they know they could be eaten," said Flamm, who has seen his crop loss from birds dwindle to around 3 percent. In the age-old face-off between farmer and bird, falconry has presented a relatively new way to tip the scales in man's favor. It's an ancient twist to modern farming, which has embraced technology to r esist disease, conserve water and conjure a smorgasbord of expensive hybrid fruit. Yet when it comes to marauding birds, growers have few solutions short of ringing the skies with shotgun blasts.

Making noise "There's not much we can do," said Joe MacIlvaine, president of Paramount Farming Co. in Bakersfield, Calif., the world's largest grower and p rocessor of a l m onds a nd pistachios. "You can't shoot them, and you can't poison them, which aren't great ideas

anyway." One Ventura County strawberry farmer'simperfect answer is riding his bicycle on his farm and sounding its bell. Others use timed propane cannons andfirecrackers that can make a tranquil country morning sound like the Battle of Waterloo. "I give one of my workers a pan and a hammer, and he just pounds away t o s care the birds," said John Tenerelli, a stone-fruit farmer in Littlerock, near Palmdale, Calif. Alex Weiser, a s p ecialty fruit and v egetable grower in Kern and San Bernardino counties, has a n e m ployee drive up and down his fields shooing away the birds like a come-to-life scarecrow. Recently, he tried specially manufacturedinflatableyellow balloons with reflective silver patches he calls the "evil eye." Hung on the end of a branch, the orbs are meant to spook the burglars in midflight. Despite all that, some of his best results come from firing a flaregun in the general direction of the airborne offenders. "Not too popular with the neighbors," Weiser said. Bird damage is often overshadowed by w e ather a n d water as a farmer's chief concerns. But avian pests are a formidable challenge, raising the risk of contamination and costing growers hundreds of millions a year in damaged crop. Recent research by the U.S. Department o f A g r i culture estimates that birds peck $49

"Independence is about giving ourselves the power to make our country as good as it can be." — Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond

"It's because I'm a proud Scot, and not despite it, that I support Scotland remaining strong in the United Kingdom.... There is more that binds us together than will ever divide us. — Johann Lamont, leader of the Scottish Labor Party Scot, and not despite it, that I support Scotland remaini ng strong i n t h e U n i t ed Kingdom," declared Johann L amont, the l eader of t h e Scottish Labor Party. "We are toldwe are different, our concerns and priorities are different from the rest of the U nited Kingdom, when we know that families across the United Kingdom are worried about jobs, their children's education, their elderly parents' care and about how to make the worlda safer place. There is more that binds us together than will ever divide us." Organizing for and against independence has been underway since Salmond and Prime Minister David Cameron agreed in March on a date for Scottish voters to decide their political future. The campaign is expected to heat up now in the final 12 months before the plebiscite, especially the drive to win over residents who have yet to make

up their minds.

The bigger challenge looms before independence activists: Polls consistently show that more Scots are in favor of preservingthe three-centuryold union with England and Wales. But Alistair Darling, a former British finance minister who is heading the "Better Together" campaign, warned against complacency before such a m o m entous ballot. Even the narrowest of victories for the other side would result in the biggest shakeup of the British Isles since Ireland achieved independence about a century ago. "The nationalists only need to win o nce, by on e v ote, and that's it — there's no going back," Darling told Sky News. British officials in London have been trying to pile pressure on nationalists through a series of government reports detailing the d isadvantages

they say an independent Scotland would face. With a population of just 5 million, its economy would struggle in a globalized world, anti-independencecampaigners say. And because Salmond has pledged to keep the British pound, which is regulated by the Bank of England, it would be a paltry sort of independence if Scotland had no authority over its currency. Salmond's administration in Edinburgh, the Scottish c apital, wil l i s sue it s o w n studies later this year affirming independence as a viable and desirable option, particularly if Scotland gets full ownership of the oil deposits in the North Sea. The Yes campaign is also expected to highlight the fact that, though Britain's Conservative Party i s b arely a political force i n S c otland nowadays, it rules the central government in L ondon and thus imposes nationwide policies that most Scots detest. Salmond accuses the Conservatives of shredding the social safety net and pursuing a dangerously hawkish foreign

Anderson said Loeffler described "setting a trap" when his wife awoke that morning to get her outside so he could shoot her. After pushing his wife out onto the back deck and shooting her in the neck, Anderson said, Loeffler told law enforcement that he put the gun to her head and fired what he called "the kill shot." "When he was asked why he fired the second shot, the kill shot, he said, 'To make damn sure she was dead,'" she told jurors.

Anderson said Loeffler was alert and cognizant throughout his interviews with police, and even managed to change insurance policies by phone while en route to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office in Bend. Anderson described Loeffler as having a laundry list of complaints about his wife that he aired with law enforcement, including that she'd put the ketchup bottle cap on too

ellow jackets are thick in Central Oregon this year, say insect scientists and folks who work in the woods. Don Rooper of Bend has been a logger in forests here for about 40 years,so he has seen such high numbers of yellow jackets before. "This is about as bad as it has been," said Rooper, a log buyer and contract supervisor for the Interfor mill in Gilchrist. These days Rooper does much of his work from the cab of his pickup so he's been protected from yellow jacket stings. "I'm lucky I'm not out there beating the brush," he said.

Distinguished from honey bees by their bright yellow stripes, yellow jackets are capable of stinging multiple times. Honey bees are more brown in color and have fuzzy bodies. They also die after stinging. The boom in the western yellow jackets this year around Central Oregon could be the result of a dry, mild spring, said Andy Eglitis, entomologist with the Deschutes National Forest, and a cold snap could bring their numbers into check. "They'll be out there until we get our (first) freeze," he said. "And that is a pretty good ways off yet." Yellow jackets nest in holes in the ground and in trees, making them susceptible to cold temperatures. Carolyn Breece, a faculty research

assistant at the Oregon State University Honey Bee Lab in Corvallis, agreed with Eglitis. "I would expect to still see quite a few yellow jackets until it starts to freeze," she said. And if it is just an isolated cold night, Rooper said, it could have an undesired effect. "When it starts getting frosty, (yellow jackets) get more aggressive and meaner, if that is a good way to put it," he said. Fall starts Sunday, but the first freeze in Bend isn't in the forecast yet, according to the National Weather Service. Lows the rest of the week and into the weekend range from the high 30s to

Madras mayloseschool grant funds By Tyler Leeds The Bulletin

An injection of federal money helped Madras High School reshape its curriculum and dramatically improve test scores. The school received just under $1 million for each of the past three academic years. The money comes from a U.S. Department of Education School Improvement Grant, which brought $32.9 million to 10 high-poverty, low-performing Oregon schools. A second cohort of schools, which includes Madras Middle School, still has one year left of additional federal support.

Bend Police Chief Jeff Sale thinks he can take a big bite out oftraffic crashes and fatalities, but first, he's going to need a larger budget. The chief appeared at Wednesday's meeting of the Bend City Council to make the case for additional staffing and equipment for traffic enforcement. Sale asked for two new officersand a corporal, an administrative assistant for the police department and a courtroom clerk at Bend Municipal Court, as well as two new patrol cars, a motorcycle and equipment needed to outfit the new hires. All told, Sale's request adds up to $634,500, $136,000 of which would be a one-time cost related to the vehicles and equipment. If the council grants his request for the next budget year beginning in July 2014, Sale projects the city can reduce crashes by 25 percent, injury crashes by 35 percentand traffic fatalities by 50 percent. Councilors did not discuss the matter at length on Wednesday. City Manager Eric King advised the council it has several months until budget discussions begin, and plenty of time to consider the merits of Sale's proposal. The additional officers would be dedicated to traffic patrols, Sale said, and directed to focus their attention on particular types of infractions around identified crash-prone areas. Sale said other cities that have taken a similarly focused approach to traffic enforcement have reduced crashes and fatalities by 20-50 percent over five years. Sale and city Finance Director Sonia Andrews told councilors the expense would be partially offset by increasedrevenue from traffic citations. By their calculations, the additional personnel would cost $498,500, but bring in an additional $396,000 in citation income. Andrews said the goal of traffic enforcement is "not to make money," noting the cost of the existing four-officer traffic team is about $187,000 more than the income from citations written. Sale said his request would allow police to maintain a patrol presence focused on motorists driving under the influence of intoxicants, and projected doing so would result in an additional 261 DUII arrests per year. Police are not the only city department that could help push Bend's crash rate down, Sale said. See Council/B2

Incentive to ignore head injuries WASHINGTONike baby birds with yawning beaks, college football fans clamor to be fed. So fasten the chin strap on your helmet — ignore the warning label on it ("No helmet system canprotectyou from serious brain and/or neck injuries including paralysis or death. To avoid these risks, do not engage in the sport of football.") and enjoy the seasonal festival of physical carnage, institutional derangement and moral seaminess. LSU offensive tackle Josh Williford, 22, will, however, leave his helmet off, having just retired rather than risk another concussion.

down and helmet-to-helmet collisions are likely. But such changes could be made only over the dead bodies of fans who relish mayhem from safedistances. The broadcast and cable organizations that pay billions for the rights to televise football have an incentive to not call attention to health problems. Gushers of money are generated by football's amateurs, who enable other people to get rich while getting fired. Gregg Easterbrook, an i n telligent journalist who n evertheless loves football, has a new book (HThe King of Sports: Football's Impact on America") that is hardly a love letter. "At many big-college sports programs," he writes, "the athletic ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)."

buyout, more than the approximately $5 million Auburn had paid to buy out Chizik's predecessor. In 2012, the University of Tennessee fired its losing coach with a $5 million severance — and the athletic department (annual revenue, more than $70 million) was given a three-year exemption from its annual $6 million contribution to the university's academic side. In 2011, Michigan paid $1 million to San Diego State University so Michigan could hire SDSU's coach,

paying him $3.3 million (plus up to $500,000 in bonuses for victories) to replace the fired coach to whom Michigan had paid a $2.5 million severance. That was the same sum Michigan had paid in a buyout to pry the coach it was firing away from West Virginia. In 2011, Texas Tech gave its head coach a $500,000 raise while freezing faculty salaries. Payoffs can be financed by selling everything, including the naming rights to football positions. The 2007 North Carolina State media guide thanked people for "scholarship endowments," including the "Ed 'Scooter' Mooney Nose Guard Scholarship," the "Longley Family Punter Scholarship" and 12 others. Meanwhile, to preserve college football's purity, the NCAA has approximately 70 pages of stern rules about dealing with r ecruits: "An institution may provide fruit, nuts and bagels to a student-athlete at any time." Cookies? See the relevant regulation. In 2 008, Easterbrook notes, the Raleigh News & Observer "reported that University of North Carolina football and men's basketball players were enrolled in email Swahili "courses" that had no instructors and never met and always led to A's." There was, however, no evidence of cookie corruption. — George Will is a columnist for The Washington Post Writers Group.

Tell legislators to find PERS solution to aid schools By local school board representatives his month, the governor and our legislative leadership have been meeting t o d e termine if it will be possible to arrive at an agreement on funding public education and be called into a legislative special session. They are working to craft a compromise deal that balances moderate and meaningful Public Employees Retirement System reform, increasedrevenue directed to education, and small business tax credits. There are avarietyof PERS reform ideas being considered, each with its own unique strength and weakness and savings to the system overall. Structural changes could make sure the benefits PERS is designed to provide are fully funded and that PERS

is solid and sustainable to support our public employees now and into the future. Any increasein revenue from the Legislaturecould be used to reduce class size, add back calendar days for school districts, and pay for additional teaching positions at schools and colleges in Central Oregon. This current budget year, a number of Central Oregon school districts were finally able to add back some teaching positions and calendar days. However, school districts still are operating with far f ewer teachers and largerclass sizes than we have had historically, and we know this level does not meet the needs of our students. Similar reductions have been experienced in higher education. Enacting a package of reforms

IN MY VIEW drives dollars to our classrooms now and sustains those resources into the future. It is not a radical notion to entertain the ideaofthese proposed changes. Last legislative session, both parties were in agreement on the need to increase the overall level of funding for our schools, as well as aiming for a higher vision for Oregon's educational system. Many of our local school boards have passedresolution after resolution calling for just this kind of change. Most recently, statewide organizations like Portland Business Alliance, Oregon Business Association, Oregon School Boards Association, Oregon Association of Education Service Districts, and Stand for

Children Oregon have all made similarcallsforreasonable PERS reform and a mix of additional revenue. In this last legislative session, a compromise agreement dealing with this same set of issues came only a few votes from passing and being signed into law. If you are a taxpayer, student, family of a student, or school staff, what happens in just a few short weeks should be of critical importance to you. Local school board members will be reaching out and asking our legislators to negotiate a compromise with sensible PERS reform and additional revenue directed toward our classrooms. We call on our legislators to work together to find a compromise, to find that middle ground that allows Oregon schools to be on

a sustainable path into the future. Invest in our students, starting with our youngest in early intervention programs all the way through our colleges and universities. We hope you will also take the time to contact your elected leaders and ask them to find a compromise, to find that middle ground. Let them know the vision you have for education in Oregon. Let them know the vision you have for the classroom in your Central Oregon neighborhood. — This column was submitted by several representatives of local school boards: Cheri Hlel, Bend-La Pine Schools; Bruce Abernethy, Central Oregon Community College; Bob Moore, High Desert Education Service District; A.J. Losoya, Redmond School District, and Don Hedrich, Sisters School District.

Loeffler Continued from B1 "Betty Loeffler left the house that day in a body bag," she said. "The defendant was complaining about a number of things. ... But he left that house not handcuffed, with hi s oxygen and his cane, and he sat in the backseat of a patrol vehicle." But d efense a t torney Jacques DeKalb told a different story, of a man who, after having his gall bladder removed in December 2012, became, disoriented a nd irrational, an d o b sessed with death. Loeffler spent about 10 days in a Bend retirement home after the surgery before returning to his La Pine area home, where he received hospice care until Dec. 27, 2012. DeKalb said Loeffler was fixated on his own father's death, which had taken place around his 86th birthday. "He became more and more irrational," he told jurors. "He started having dreams, very strange dreams that affected his p erception of w h a t w a s happening around him.... He began to believe that Betty Loeffler had some kind of disease that made her different, that made her

dangerous." According t o D e K alb, Loeffler became convinced during th e c o nversation with h is ste p daughter that she and her mother planned to kill him. But while his client admits to having planned his wife's murder, DeKalb said he was not guilty of murder because he was suffering from delusions. "He had no idea what reality was at that time," DeKalb told jurors. D eKalb said Loeffler' s i nterviews with l a w e n forcement show how delusional he was; while he could remember what he had done, he could not explain why and would become confused when asked for a motive. "Motiveevidence can be very strong," DeKalb said. "Loeffler's motive, the evidence we'll show, was that it was to kill his wife because he had reached the c onclusion that hi s w i f e and stepdaughter were going to kill him the day after his birthday. That's the motive. But it makes no sense, does it? It makes no sense."

And because his m ental state was so confused, DeKalb s aid, Loeffler shouldn't b e found guilty of murder. Prosecutors calledseveral witnesses Wednesday, and jurors listened to Loeffler's 911 call and a recording of one deputy's35-minute conversation with Loeffler in the hour after the shooting. During the 911 call, the dispatcher asks Loeffler the circumstances surrounding the shooting, and the 86-year-old says his wife was threatening him and he was afraid for his life, so he shot her. Some of the call is nearly impossible to understand as Loeffler sobs and screams repeatedlythat he doesn't know the details of what had taken place in the home. Listening to the call, Loeffler, who breathes with the help of an oxygen concentrator, began to cry at the defense table. Two of the first law enforcement officials to arrive at the scene also testified Wednes-

struggling three years ago," said Oregon Department of Education D eputy S u perintendent Rob Saxton in a statement. "They faced huge challenges from high dropout rates to low student performance. But the staff, students and communities of t h ese schools were committed to turning things around and improving student outcomes and opportunities." — Reporter: 541-633-2160, tleeds@bendbulletin.com

what was going on when they i nteracted with hi m a t t h e scene. County s h eriff's d e puty Keith Slater said he chatted with Loeffler for more than 30 minutes after arriving at the home. Slater said Loeffler did not appear to be suffering from mental health issues throughout t h eir c o nversation, which included talk of Loeffler's chainsaws, his work history and his time living in McMinnville in the 1970s. "During m y i n t e ractions with the defendant, he seemed to rise and fall emotionally," Slater said. "There were times when he would be upset and times when he could be very calm and communicate very freely with me." The trial is expected to continue today. — Reporter: 541-617-7831, smiller@bendbulletin.com

Ducks' defense is holding its own

t is hard to explain to those who are not cycling fans the enormity of 41-year-old Chris Horner's victory in the Spanish Vuelta. The longtime Bend resident is the oldest cyclist ever, by five years, to win one of cycling's three grand tours — the Vuelta, the Giro d'Italia and of course, the Tour de France.

M ORICAL~ »' -

While not as world-renowned as the Tour De France, the Vuelta and the Giro are also grueling three-week-long races that include many of the world's best cyclists.

To put it in perspective, Horner's victory is akin to a Central Oregon resident winning a major championship in golf or tennis. And to those ultrafit 40- or 50somethings in Bend — and there are a lot of you — Horner's career-defining win in Spain is likely a moving inspiration, a testament that middle-age does not mean middle-of-the-pack in endurance sports. The previous oldest winner for one of the three grand tours was Fermin Lambot, who won the 1922 Tour de France at 36. While Horner's victory resonates

with many cyclists in Central Or-

egon, many locals probably have

cleared Horner of any wrongdoing,

never even heard of the Vuelta. And cycling remains far less popular in the U.S. than in Europe. Part of that is just our culture, and perhaps part of that is the issue that Horner is re-

saying it was due to a timing issue between the U.S. and Spain. I requested an i n terview w i t h Horner this week following his momentous win, and he agreed, with a caveat: No questions about doping or about former teammates who have confessed to it.

EUGENE — Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti is a perfectionist. That 59-14 victoryover Tennessee last Saturday? "We did OK," he said. How about a 66-3 win over Nicholls State in the opener? Or that 59-10 rout of Virginia in Game 2? With Aliotti, it's almost as if the defense has fallen short if they don't pitch a shutout. "We're trying to run away from good and be great," he sa>d. While opponents haven't really challenged the secondranked Ducks, their defense has increasingly shown its dexterity, most recently against Tennessee and its big offensive line. See Oregon /C4

Cougars Continued from C1 When Mountain View (2-1) hosts McNary on Friday night at 7 p.m., it will be the second straight meeting against a CentralValley Conference opponent and the third straight 6A team the Cougars will have faced. Not only that, but the Keizer school will mark the fourth s traight program t ha t a d vanced to the 6A or 5A state playoffs last season. And after playing Wilsonville next week, the Cougars will have taken on four teams that finished in the top 20 of the final 6A and 5A OSAA rankings in 2012. Intimidating, though'? Not through the eyes of the Mountain View coach. "I don't think i t ' s daunting," Crum says. "I think it's a challenge. ... How do you a pproach it? What k in d o f challenge is it? I wouldn't call i t daunting, but yo u k n ow you've got some games that you've got to get ready for." These first six games will help Mountain View create depth, Crum says, as the Cougars are forced to play themselves into shape. More importantly, after its nonconference schedule is in the books, Mountain View will have its identity established. "You don't accomplish any-

thing by playing nobody," Crum says. "You get out there

and you test yourself. My goal when I came in two years ago ... when you schedule a preseason, you want a third of games that you think you can win, you want a third of the games that you probably think you might lose, and you want a third of the games against teams that you think you're dead even against. By the time that you're done with t hat,

whether you have (played) three games or whether you have six games, you know who you are after six weeks."

"Any time you playgood teams, you'd like to think that playing at that fast tempo will pay dividends down the road," says Bend High coach Matt Craven, whose Lava Bears (03) fell to 6A West Salem last week and take on perennial 5A state power Marist of Eugene on Friday night. There is no real impact on power rankings, both Crum and Craven emphasize. Defeating a top-tier 6A program a nd beating a q u a lity 4 A team are calculated similarly by th e O S A A c o m puters. However, the d i fference in what is learned on the field is noticeable.

"Any timeyou play a good team, you force yourself to get better," Craven says. "You expose areas that you can improve in. If you go out there and beat up on weak [teams], a lot of times you can't tell the areas that you're deficient in. It definitely lets you know areas that you can get better in." At Mountain View, the trialby-firenonleague schedule determines which players rise up

Oregon Continued from C1 Some of the credit goes to Oregon's quick-strike offense, which has helped strengthen what the Ducks are doing on the other side of the ball. Oregon's average time of possession is just over 22 minutes a game, last among all the FBSlevel teams. Twenty-one of the Ducks' 25 scoring drives have taken less than two minutes. That means the defense is on the field. A lot. Aliotti has

responded by developing a system that quickly r otates players in and out in shifts, so as to keep the defense fresh. That, in turn, helps tire opposing offenses.

"We play a lot of plays. If

you look back over the past five years, we're probably at the top for most plays," Aliotti said. T he Ducks ar e t i e d f o r fourth nationally in scoring defense, allowing an average of just 9 points a game. Last season, Oregon's defense allowed just 21.6 points per game. But the Ducks lost some considerable talent and leadership from that squad, including top tacklers Michael Clay and Kiko Alonso, as well as defensive end Dion Jordan, t aken third overall i n t h i s spring's NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins. Heading into last Saturday's game, Tennessee was averaging 48.5 points per game. The 97 total points tied the record through two games set by the

says. They will need to show up onFriday night, when Mountain View hosts McNary, the second straight

Central Valley Conference opponent for the Cougars and third consecutive Class 6Aprogram. "Our kids, I think, they're accountable for what they did," Crum says. "They understand that we've got to be ready to play, first snap

The Standard & Poor's 5DD index jumped to a record high Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said that it will hold steady on its bond-buying program to stimulate the economy. Many investors had expected the central bank to pare back its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases, which are meant to keep interest rates low. The S&P 500 had been down for much of the day's trading until the Fed's announcement, when stocks immediately surged. The Fed's policymaking committee said that it needs to see more evidence that the economy is improving before scaling back its purchases. It was the fourth straight gain for the S&P 500, and its 11th in the last 12 days.

FedEx Corp. on Wednesday posted a 7 percent increase in profit for its fiscal first quarter, as cost cuts offset a dip in revenue at its express-delivery unit. It plans to raise prices on many U.S. shipments in January. FedEx is still struggling with a decline in international priority deliveries as customers shift to less-expensive shipping options. But the company's ground business is still strongly profitable and it has trimmed costs in its FedEx Express unit. The Memphis-basedcompany earned $489

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve postponed any retreat from its longrunning stimulus campaign Wednesday, saying that it would continue to buy $85 billion a month in bonds to encourage job creation and economic growth. As congressional Republicans and the White House hurtle toward another showdown over federal spending, the Fed said it was concerned that fiscal policy

o erso airinemer el messa e o .. a i o By Curtis Tate WASHINGTON — About 300 airline pilots and flight attendants joined union officials and lawmakers from both parties in front of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to support the creation of the world's largest airline. The $11 billion union of American Airlines and US Airways was on its way to completion by year's end until the Justice Department, joined by six states and the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit last month to block it. In its complaint, the Justice Department's An-

titrust Division claims that the merger would be bad for consumers, leading to reduced competition and higher fares. The case is scheduled to go to trial in federal district court in November. The unions representing airline employees support the merger, and Wednesday, they took that message to members of Congress, holding signs that read "Let Us Compete Together" and chanting, "DOJ, say OK!" "We are going to get this done," said Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. "The merger will

happen." Glading said she and other airline union leaders met Wednesday with Bill Baer, the Justice Department's antitrust chief, and his deputy, David Gelfand. Several lawmakers are drafting a letter to President Barack Obama requesting that Attorney General Eric Holder drop the antitrust complaint. Echoing a frequent criticism of the Justice Department lawsuit, James Ray, communications chairman of the U.S. Airline Pilots Association, ticked off three major airline mergers the government had approved in recent years and ques-

Foreclosure mediation requests rIsIng Bulletin staff report In its first six weeks, a remodeled state foreclosure prevention program has received 456 requestsfor meetings between borrowers and lenders, the OregonAttorney General's Officeannounced Wednesday. The majority of those requests have come from lenders, who mostly sidestepped the Oregon Foreclosure Avoidance Program during its initial phase last year, the Attorney General's Office said in a news release. Lenders referred only one case to mediation in the first six weeks last year, the news release stated. When passed in 2012, the foreclosure mediation program was supposed to allow homeowners tomeet face to face with lenders to see if they could work out ways to keep borrowers in their homes. But the legislation only applied to nonjudicial foreclosures. So most banks and other lenders simply switched to judicial foreclosure, filing their proceedings in state courts. The Legislature modified the program earlier this year and extended mediation to judicial foreclosures, as well. State officials say the

revamped program could

Dozens of flight attendants, pilots and airline union members rallied in front of the Capitol on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., in support of a merger that would create the world's largest airline. The $11 billion union of American Airlines and US Airways is on hold because of a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit filed last month.

tioned why this one was different. "Why is it that the same government that deregulated this industry 35 years ago decided to re-regulate it today'?" he asked. Where the Justice Department sees an airline colossus that would raise fares and baggage fees, eliminate competition on some routes and dominate takeoff and landing slots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the airline employees see a stronger company that would provide more job security and would better compete with large airlines such as Delta and United.

receive hundreds of additional requests for mediation in the coming weeks from some of the nation's largest banks. "No one's happy about impending foreclosures,but we're delighted with these numbers because, unlike the earlier program, it means this one is working the way it's supposed to," Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in the news release. The law requires lenders — beforethey foreclose — to request meetings with homeowners, who will receive notification letters from the Oregon Foreclosure Avoidance Program. The process will cost homeowners either $50 or $200, depending on income, according to the news release. Homeowners must provide financial information to lenders, and lenders must provide payment histories and copies of loan documents to homeowners. While the housing market has been improving around the state, 28,599 Oregon homeowners were delinquent 90 days or more on their mortgages as of June, the Attorney General's Office stated. That equals nearly 5 percent of all Oregon homeowners. For more information, visit www.doj.state.or.us/consumer/ pages/foreclosure mediation. aspx

JPMor anto a moret an 900 mi ion in ines By Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Ben Protess New Yorlz Times News Service

JPMorgan Chase is expected to pay more than $900 million in fines today and make an unprecedented admission of wrongdoing to government authorities in Washington

and London, a pact that will settle a range of investigations over a multibillion trading blunder the bank suffered last year, according to people briefed on the matter. The settlements with the government authorities — the Securities and Exchange

Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve and the Financial Conduct Authority in London — will be a pivotal moment for the nation's largest bank as it works to move past the $6 billion trading loss.

That loss, which stemmed from outsize derivatives wagers made by traders at JPMorgan's chief investment office in London, thrust JPMorgan into unfamiliar territory, staining the reputation of a bank long known for its risk prowess, claiming the

jobs of top bank executives and triggering a flurry of investigations. At the center of the investigations was the question of whether weak controls at JPMorgan allowed the London traders to cloak the losses.

Health officials recommend girls get vaccinated against human papillomavirus starting at age 11, but not all girls are receiving the vaccine — a series of three shots — and vaccination rates among boys are even lower.

ublic health efforts are lagging to vaccinate Deschutes County boys against a sexually transmitted cancer-causing virus. Area doctors strongly recommend that adolescent boys and girls receive a full three-dose vaccination series against human papillomavirus, or HPV. The viruscauses nearly allcases of cervical and anal cancer, and also is linked to cancers of the throat, penis and vagina. But only one of every five teenage boys in DeschutesCounty has received even a single dose of the vaccine, Oregon public health officials say. Just 5 percent of all teenage boys in the county have completed the three-dose series, which usually takes six months. Rates of vaccination for boys in Crook and Jefferson counties are similar. "We're seeing the rates slowly going up for boys, but it's definitely taking a while to get the word out," Deschutes County Immunization Program Manager Heather Kaisner said. SeeHPV/E3

others — which are all composed of the simple sugars fructoseand glucose,in about equal proportions. Although glucose can be metabolized by every cell in the body, fructose is metabolized almost entirely by the liver. There it can result in the generation of free radicals (damaged cells that can damage other cells) and uric acid (which can lead to kidney disease or gout), and it can kick off a process called de novo lipogenesis, which generates fats that can find their way into the bloodstream or be deposited on the liver itself. These byproducts are linked to obesity, insulin resistance and the group of risk factors linked to diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

"Sugar is a toxin," he says. "Pure and simple." His target is one particular sugar: fructose, familiar for its role in making fruit sweet. Fruit, though, is not the problem; the natural sugar in whole foods, which generally comes in small quantities, is blameless. The fructose in question is in sweeteners — table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup,

American eaters love a good villain. Diets that focus on one clear bad guy have gotten traction even as the bad guy has changed: fat, carbohydrates, animal products, cooked food, gluten. And now Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California at San Francisco, is adding sugar to the list. His book "Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease" makes the case that sugar is almost singlehandedly responsible for Americans' excess weight and the illnesses that go with it.

giant exercise balls to stay fit. Walking on a t readmill while making phone calls and sorting through emails means "being productive on two fronts," said Andrew Lockerbie,senior vice president of benefits at Brown 8 Brown, a global insurance consulting firm. Lockerbie can burn 350 calories a day walking 3 to 4 miles on one of two treadmill desks that his company's Indianapolis office purchased earlier this year.

Josh Baldonado, an administrative assistant at Brown & Brown Insurance, works at a treadmill desk in the firm's offices in Carmel, Ind. Workers sign up for time on the treadmill and have their phone and computer transferred to the workstation. "I'm in meetings and at my desk and on the phone all day," he said. "It's great to be able to have an option at my work to get some physical activity while I'm actually doing office stuff. You feel better, you get your blood moving, you think clearly."

Treadmill desks designed for the workplace are normally set to move at I to 2 mph, enough to get the heart rate up but not too fast to distract from reading or talking on the phone comfortably. SeeWork/E5

Everyone agrees that fructosecan be metabolized that way, but not that it always is metabolized that way when people consume it in moderate amounts. In rats, the link between fructose and metabolic diseases is so well established that researchers who want to study insulin-resistant rats feed them fructose to get them to that state. Fructose metabolism research in people, though, is limited by scientists' inability to kill their human subjects in order to dissect their livers and is further complicated by variation from human to human: Race, sex, exercise, melatonin, probiotics and antioxidants, among other things, affect how our bodies deal with fructose.

WASHINGTON — When he was 44, Ben Achord recently recalled, he was "the picture of success." Married with three kids, he was a manager at a Charlotte, N.C., manufacturing company and owned a handsome four-bedroom house. W hat he d i dn't k n ow was he was suffering from schizoaffective disorder, a serious mental illness that can cause severe depression, delusions and hallucinations. Unaware of his condition, he self-medicated with alcohol, and before his 45th birthday he had lost everything — his family, his job and his house. He lived on the streets, twice attempted suicide and spent several months in a mental hospital in Georgia. Twenty-five years later, Achord is helping others with mental illness as a "certified peer specialist" licensed by th e state of Georgia. Armed with nonclinical training from the state, Achord helps people with mental illness stay on their medications, find jobs and housing, and build social support networks. Peer programs such as Georgia'scould become especially important once the Affordable Care Act takes effect early next year. The federal health law will require Medicaid and

states to follow Georgia's lead. Since then, at least 30 states and the District of Columbia have launched peer programs. Several others are seeking federal approval. Beyond Medicaid, at least as many states are spending scarce mental health dollars to train and certify peer specialists to work in a v ariety of public and private settings. One such p rogram, called peer mentoring,assigns a peer specialist to an individual who is discharged after a long-term stay in a state mental hospital. By helping discharged patients find housing, employment and social support, peer specialists have succeeded in lowering readmissions. Private insurers and other public programs such as the Veterans Administration are also ramping up their use of peers, in part to fill a widening gap in the number of clinically trained mental health workers. "Peer support is absolutely part of a national strategy to get more boots on the ground quickly," says Sita Diehl, who heads state policy for the National A l l iance o n M e n tal Illness.

HPV Continued from E1 Unfortunately, the vaccine lands with a thud on a number of potentially uncomfortable societal issues — sex, gender, cancer — and doctors are still trying to figure out how to best communicate the importance of these shots. The rates are much betterfor girls, but still not great. In Deschutes County,three of every five girls have had at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, and 30 percent have received the fullthree-dose series.Jefferson County performed slightly better for girls, with 69 percent having at least one shot and 36 percent receiving the full series. In Crook County, though, only about half of girls have had at least one HPV vaccine, and less than a quarter of teen girls are fully vaccinated. This gap persists despite the fact that the HPV vaccine is one of the only known ways to effectively stop cancer. "It's really pretty amazing we can vaccinate to prevent cancer," said Dr. Kristi Nix, a pediatrician with M o saic Medical in Bend. "I think if we reframe the discussion to focus on that aspect, it will help parents better understand." National public health leaders aren't having any better success. Only54percent of girls and 21 percent of boys across the United States had received a single dose of the HPV vaccine in 2012. About 33 percent of girls and 7 percent of boys had gotten all three doses. The HPV vaccine has faced resistance since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention first recommended it for girls in 2006. P arents questioned w h y they were vaccinating their daughters at 11 or 12 years old against a disease that is spread sexually. "It got a real bad rap because it is related to a sexually transmitted disease," Nix said. "There's a real connection in some parents' minds between getting the HPV vaccine and becoming sexually active." The vaccine also received the same safety scrutiny that all vaccines have received from parents. "There's a lot of inaccurate information available on the Internet, so as a provider it can be hard to start a conversation with parents who have done some research," Nix said.

ut acteriami t e WASHINGTON — Call it a hidden ally: The right germs just might be able to help fight fat. Different kinds of bacteria that live inside the gut can help spur obesity or protect against it, say scientists at Washington University in St. Louis who transplanted intestinal germs from fat or lean people into mice and watched the rodents

of it? If so, which bugs are to blame, and might it be possible to switch out the bad actors? To start finding out, Washington University g r aduate

student Vanessa Ridaura took gut bacteria from eight people — four pairs of twins that each included one obese sibling and one lean sibling. One pair of twins was identical, ruling out an inherited explanation for their different weights. Using twins also guaranteed similar childhood environments and diets. She transplanted the human microbes into the intestines of young mice that had been raised germ-free. The mice who receivedgut bacteria from the obese people gained more weight — and experienced unhealthy metabolic changes — even though they didn't eat more than the mice who received germs from the lean twins, said study senior author Dr. Jeffrey Gordon, director of Washington University's Center of Genome Sciences and Systems Biology. Then came what Gordon calls the battle of the microbes.

Mice that harbored gut bacteriafrom a lean person were put in the same cages as mice that harbored th e o besityprone germs. The research team took advantage of an icky fact of rodent life: Mice eat feces, so presumably they could easily swap intestinal

bugs. What happened was a surprise. Certain bacteria from the lean mice i nvaded the intestines ofthe fatter mice, and their weight and metabolism improved. But the trade was one-way — the lean mice weren'taffected. Moreover, the fatter mice got the bacterial benefit only when they were fed a low-fat,

high-fiber diet. When Ridaura substituted the higher-fat, lower-fiber diet typical of Americans, the protective bug swap didn't occur. Why? G o r do n al r e ady knew from h u man studies that obesepeople harbor less diverse gut bacteria. "It was almost as if there were potential job vacancies" in their intestines that the lean don't have, he explained. Sure enough, a closer look at the mice that benefited from

the bug swap suggests a specific type of bacteria, from a family named Bacteroidetes, moved into previously unoccupied niches in their colons — if the rodents ate right.

"We want to ensure that all three doses are in that child prior to sexual activity, because that's the best prevention," Kaisner said. The CDC's follow-up reco mmendation of t h e H P V vaccine forboys in October 2011 brought another round of parental questioning. The vaccine mainly protects against cervical cancer — so why do boys need it? The virus also causes 90 percent of genital warts, as well as other types of cancer that boys can get, but it's been a hardersellfor boys,said Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director of the Oregon Immunization Program. "Girls have more to gain by getting vaccinated and more to lose by not getting vaccinated," Cieslak said. "Warts are one thing, but cancer is kind of the

With vaccination rates among girls so low, it can't hurt to have as many boys as possible vaccinated as well, health officials say. "If a boy's going to have it, he could transmit it to a girl who could then transmit it back to a boy," said Dr. Lisa Uri of High Lakes Health Care. This has led some doctors to consider chivalry as an argument for teenage boys getting the vaccine. "I think you tell them they're going to be protecting a girl sometime down the road, I think they'll listen," Cieslak saicL "I think the altruism argument is one that's well-re-

news. Even though the CDC recommends that the threedose series be completed within six months, kids can get the second or third doses at any time without having to restart the process. "They can still come back and continue the series," Uri said. "The point is they get all three shots at some time. That first exposure really triggers the immune system, but it's very important to complete the series." — Reporter: denntisthompsonjrC< yahoo.com

The other problem doctors face in giving the vaccine to either boys or girls is that it's difficult to get teens of either sex to visit the doctor.

You should choose a physician specializing in breast care, who can educate you on the many options and treatments available to you. If you have breast cancer you have a choice in the specialists you see. The treatment of breast cancer is advancing and changing continuously so choose physicians who are well educated, interested in breast cancer and compassionate to your individual situation. Ideally your surgeon will develop a treatment plan in conjunction with the St. Charles Breast Cancer Center and you. You should thoroughly understand your options before proceeding with definitive treatment.

Risk factors for Melanoma Mark Hall, include fair skin, a h istory of sunburns M.D. (particularly blistering sun burns), history of using of a. tanning bed, and in your case family history of Melanoma involving a first degree relative.

ANswFR: Scars are formed when we damage tissues either surgically or due to other Adam P Angeles tyPes of trauma. Each time we oPerate we heal by making scar or adhesions... We can Board Certified pt I' S „ remove some ormost of the scarhowever, a new scar will be formed, which in some instances may be better than the old scar. For example a person who has had multiple abdominal operations and develops dense adhesions around the bowel may develop a bowel obstruction. If serious enough, they may need to have these adhesions released surgically. But when we do this, we also cause adhesions to form. As surgeons, we hope that new scar of adhesions don't become so severe as to cause problems. This issue has plagued surgeons for centuries.

A thorough skin exam by a Dermatologist would determine if there are any moles (nevi) that would be of concern to you. Worrisome clinical features for Melanoma follow the "ABCDE's" you may have heard of. This refers to nevi that show Asymmetry, where one side of the mole does not look like the other. Borders that are irregular or notched, Color that is varied particularly with black or red, and Diameter greater than 6mm (size of a pencil eraser) are also concerning features. Lastly moles that are Evolving, either new or with a change in size, color or shape may be worrisome. The Dermatologist will be able to determine if any nevi should be evaluated further with a biopsy, which is done under local anesthesia in the offtce. The biopsy would show if Melanoma is a concern, and would prompt surgical removal to ensure the ma.rgins were clear.

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

But there has been little research about how dairy products affect oral health CarloArredondo, ln parucular. However, accordlng io a new study D.D.S. consuming cheese may help protect teeth against cavities. The study sampled 68 subjects ranging in age from 12 lo 15, and the authors looked ai the denlal plaque pH in the subjects' mouths before and after they consumed cheese, milk, or sugar-free yogurt. A pH level lower than R.Sputs a person ai risk for tooth erosion, which is a process that wears away the enamel (or protective outside layer) of teeth. The higher the pH level is above 5.5, the lower the chance of developing cavities. The subjects were assigned into groups randomly. Researchers instructed the first group to eat cheddar cheese, the second group io drink milk, and the third group to eai sugar-free yogurt. Each group consumed their product for three minutes and then swished with water. Researchers measured the pH level of each subject's mouth at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after consumption. The groups who consumed milk and sugar-free yogurt experienced no changes in the pH levels in their mouths. Subjects who ale cheese, however, showed a rapid increase in pH levels ai each time interval, suggesting that cheese has anti-cavity properties. The study indicated that the rising pH levels from eating cheese may have occurred due to increased saliva production (ihe mouth's natural way io maintain a baseline acidity level), which could be caused by the action of chewing. Additionally, various compounds found in cheese may adhere lo tooth enamel and help further protect teeth from acid.

A~swER: In my experience, excessive gas is usually related to inappropriate breakdown Azure Karli, o f f o ods, a reaction to a food that the body doesn't like, or a slow-moving digestive tract. Typically I s u ggest starting with digestive assistance like lemon water or apple cider vinegar before meals. I also typically suggest a professional grade high potency probiotic along with increased water and soluble fiber. If this doesn't help enough I move onto more powerful digestive aides and start thinking about testing for food sensitivities, metabolic issues, or bacterial overgrowth in the small intestines (SIBO). Too many supplements or medicines can make the problem worse so be sure to consult your provider before initiating these.

(TEEL-o-meers) are often compared to the plastic tips that keep the ends ol' shoelaces from fraying. Scientists have long suspected that Telomeres protect Mary Huntsman, the ends of our chromosomes. Each time a cell divides, its Telomeres shorten, and if they gei too short, the cell cannot divide any more. Bui in healthy cells, the Telomeres are being rebuilt. Unusually short Telomeres may indicate a health problem, and are a piece of information that should be looked at in the bigger picture of a person's health.

Actually, my initial question was a bit of a trick, because somestatesdon'trecognize cheerleading asa sport, and neither does the NCAA, a major problem unto itself, s ome believe. Without t h e oversight of government and big-time sports, some of the people running cheer squads and competitions aren't held to the same safety, training and coaching standards applied to other sports, even rough ones such as football — though cheerleading does make considerable effort to police itself. With or w i t hout government regulation, cheerleading poses byfar the greatest risk of catastrophic injury to young f emale p a r ticipants of any sport. According to a 2012 report and policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics, cheerleading "accountedfor 65 percent of all direct catastrophic injuries to girl athletes at the high schoolleveland 70.8 percent at the college level" between 1982 and 2009. The overall number is small — 110 closed-head injuries, skull fractures and cervical spine injuries that resulted in "permanent brain injury, paralysis or death" over that period — and the number of participants in cheerleading is large, an estimated 3.6 million nationwide, the academy found. (A number of o ther girlssuffered cardiac problems and heat stroke.) But the disproportionate number of severe injuries in this one activity is striking. So as our sons head back to the gridiron this fall, and we head back to the stands to watch them, it might be worth taking a glance at what's happening with t h e d aughters who have traditionally urged

At least not one I've heard about. In part this is because the noncatastrophic injury rate in cheerleading is quite low. But it'salso because some people don't know that cheer has left the sidelines in the past two decades tobecome a sport of tumbling, flying through the air and building tall human pyramids. "I don't know that the general impression has evolved as fast as the sport has," said Cynthia LaBella, lead author of the Academy of Pediatrics paper and an associate professor of pediatrics at Northwestern U n iversity's Feinberg School of Medicine. "It takes time for these things to register. "These girls — and boys — are at risk for injury," she added. "This should be considered a sport, and t hese folks should be t r eated as athletes, not as entertainers." Boys make up about 4 percent of cheerleaders. Jim Lord, executive director of the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators, said the sport has come a long way in addressing deficiencies noted by the Academy of Pediatrics.

Even going to the gym three times a week doesn't offset the harm of being sedentary for hours at a time, said Dr. James Levine, a n endocrinologist at t h e Mayo Clinic. "There's a glob of information that sitting is killing us," Levine said. "You're basically sitting yourself into a coffin." More companies are intrigued by the idea of helping employees stay healthy, lose weight and reduce stress — especially if it means lower insurance costs and higher productivity, said Levine, an enthusiastic supporter of the moving workstations.

But not everyone wants one, Harik said. Some workers find it too distracting to incorporate standing or walking into their work, and some feel they are just not coordinated enough to multitask as they exercise. Levine said he was at first skeptical that a standup desk would offer improvements in health comparable to treadmill desks or other moving workstations. "It appears Iwas completely wrong," he said. "Once you're off your bottom, it's inevitable that you start m eandering around. Within two minutes of standing, one activates a seriesof metabolic processes that are beneficial. Once you sit, all of t hose things get switched off." Denise B o ber, d i r ector of human resources at The Breakers, the resort hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., said having a treadmill desk in her office has made a big difference in how she feels after work. "The more movement and interaction I have, the more energy I have at the end of the day," she said. Bober spends one to three hours walking when she's in the office, usually at 2 mph. "If I go faster, then I make too many typing errors, but if I'm just reading a report I can go faster," she said.

Each year, one in six Americans becomes sickfrom eating contaminated food. But while outbreaks of food-borne illness linked to p rocessing plants or imported products capture the public's attention and raisefears about the safety of the food supply, as many as 70 percent of food poisoning cases originate in the kitchen. People, not products, are the main cause of food-borne illnesses, and they can be avoided by following certain basic principles of food safety. Unfortunately, some of the best advice, like using disposable paper towels in place of reusable cloths and sponges, butts headfirst against modern efforts to be "green." Other measures, like discarding leftoversaftertwo days, are antithetical to the "waste not, want not" philosophy I was raised on. Still, there are many noncontentious steps that can be taken to minimize the risk that anyone will be sickened by the

Sugar Continued from E1 In some h uman s tudies, large doses offructose have certainly been shown to do

harm, and alarmingly quickly. One 2009 study fed 16 men a controlled diet, then that same diet plus a f r uctose supplement that added 35 percent to their calorie consumption, and found fat deposits on their livers, increased t r iglycerides and insulin sensitivity after just one week. But as the fructose dose decreases, so does the strength of the link to disease. Luc Tappy of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland concluded in a recent paper that, although large doses of fructose undoubtedly cause problems, "there is no solid evidence thatfructose,when consumed in moderate amounts, has deleterious effects." Tappy, one of the prominent participants in the fructose debate that Lustig ignited, gives voice to the position that many doctors and scientists share: Sugar is a bad guy, but not the one, overarching bad guy. "Telling people the problem is all fructose is completely wrong," says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health. "In the amounts being consumed, sugar can lead to serious damage and premature death. I think it's fair to say that's toxic," he says. "But it doesn't mean ev-

erything else is good." Read Lustig's book carefully, and it's clear that his position isn't as radical as his

sound bite implies: He believes that moderate consumption of fructose is safe. The "likely" safe threshold, he says, is 50 grams per day — which translates to 100 grams, or a quarter-cup, of sugar that's half fructose. Average daily American consumption of added sweeteners,according to the USDA, is 95 grams — just under Lustig's threshhold. And our consumption isdecreasing, down from a peak of 111 grams in 1999. Lustig's colleagues may be less frustrated by his assessment of fructose than they are by his campaign to vilify it. He chooses not to emphasize his position that the average American intake of fructose is safe: He mentions it once in his book and not at all in his 90-minute video. He's also familiar with all the fructose research and concedes that the evidence for its toxicity isn't ironclad. Yet he's willing to call it a poison because he believes that waiting for a fuller understanding is not a responsible option. Lustig works w it h o bese c hildren; he's d eeply c o ncerned about their health and theirprospects, and he wants to tackle head-on the problem he believes is at the root of their suffering. "The only thing that matters is fixing it," he says. "The fact is that everyone, whether they believe the mechanism or not, is saying we need to reduce our sugar intake."

The fructose controversy has been featured in prominent media o utlets, including th e N e w York Times Magazine, Scientific American and National G eographic, which put t h e story on its cover. But there's a downside to Lustig's tactics. A recent editorial in the journal Nature acknowledged the resonance of simple messages and addressedthe problem of sacrificing nuance to get attention: "It is r i sky t o o v ersimplify sciencefor the sake of a clear public-health message.... Simple messages and themes are seductive.... Black-and-white messages can cause confusion of their own." Frank Hu, an epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health who studies the link between sugar and h ealth, gives Lustig credit "for raising awareness about sugar," but he shares other scientists' concerns: "People think if they take care of fructose, their diet is healthy." Tappy believes that, given the complexities of how foods interact with each other and with the human body, focusing on any single nutrient is a mistake: "An approach to fight obesity has to be targeted at multiple components of our diet and lifestyle." Willett agrees, saying, "We have to find a way to say something is

In 1944, when Americans were fighting for the Pacific island of Saipan, a feisty young M exican-American Ma r i n e named Guy Gabaldonventured on his own behind Japanese lines, defying the orders of his commander. With a few phrases of Japanese he had learned as a boy in Los Angeles, Gabaldon coaxed enemy soldiers from caves where they were hiding, making them believe a regiment was close behind. In one day, Gabaldon singlehandedly captured more than 800 Japanese fighters, a U.S. military record. Yet when Hollywood made a movie about h is exploits after th e w a r , Gabaldon, who is short with dark hair, was played by a tall, blond actor. His Latino identity was never mentioned.

"PBS is redeeming itself," s aid Lisa Navarrete, a t o p leader at NCLR, also known as the National Council of La Raza, one of the groups that led the criticism of Burns' series. "There is an idea out there that we are all recent arrivals. These documentaries go a long

way to showing people that we are not new. We have a lot of history in this country." Jeff Bieber, an executive producer of the series, said he was watching the acrimonious debate over illegal immigration that was gathering fervor when he first conceived the series five years ago. Bieber, a vice president at WETA, the PBS flagship station in Washington, said he wanted to provide context about Latinos that would "change the national conversation" around immigration. A d e licate d ecision f o r Bieber was the selection of a series producer. Initially some a dvocates worried that h i s choice, Adriana Bosch, a filmmaker born in Cuba, might not comprehend the experience of Mexican-Americans. As it turned out, Bosch had never been wedded to one Latino region. She grew up in New Jersey and California and worked for decades as a filmmaker in Boston. She brought in more Hispanic producers, from a different national origins. The project they undertook was vast. "We wanted to tell the whole story," Bosch said. "But it was a very tall order, constructing one narrative that captured the different threads. There are many groups, they have parallel histories, and some intersectand some don't."

duced by tight funds to six. The result is a panorama, which can sometimes be dizzying, as the action sprints from San Francisco to San Antonio to Santo Domingo. There is the story of Juan Seguin, a Mexican who fought with the hapless defenders of the Alamo in 1836 (and was sent out as a courier before it fell) and went on to become mayor of San Antonio. But settlers from the East were pushing Mexicans off their Texas land, and Seguin became one of them, forced to live out his life on the run as "a foreigner in my native land." The broadcast of the new series has turned out to be timely. Latinos, the country's largest minority, are closer than ever to having a shared national i d entity. D i f ferent groups have been unified in their rejection of the caustic rhetoric of some politicians in the immigration debate. Last year, Latinos demonstrated new electoral clout when their votes helped re-elect President Barack Obama. PBS hopes to tap in to that dynamic. Since January, advance screenings of "Latino Americans" have been held with panel discussions and fiestas, primarily with Hispanic organizations. T h e s e r i es' website has invited Hispanic viewers, in both English and Spanish, to submit their own videos recalling family traditions and lore.

TV TODAY 1p.m. onSTARZ, Movie: "Here Comes the Boom" — Kevin James as aMixed Martial Arts fighter? Unlikely, to be sure, but also reasonably fun in this 2012 comedy that suggests how far teachers will go to protect programs in their curriculum. That's the setup as James plays such an instructor, who takes up fighting to raise the funds to keep students' music playing in his highschool.Salma Hayek serves as the love interest, and Henry Winkler and UFCheavyweight champ BasRuttenalso appear. 7p.m. onAMC, Movie: "National Treasure" — Dismissed by many critics, this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced adventure became one of 2004's top box-office hits anyway. Nicolas Cage plays a member of a treasure-seeking clan whose latest quest involves the U.S. Declaration of Independence ... and a map on the back of it that could lead to a fortune. He races his sinister ex-partner (Sean Bean) to the document, helped by his father, a smart-aleck sidekick and a cryptographer (Jon Voight, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger). Bp.m. onE3, "The Big Bang Theory" — Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is offered a terrific job opportunity, but it means he'll have to move overseas — an idea that will take some getting used to for Sheldon and Penny (Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco). Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Mayim Bialik also star in "The Bon Voyage Reaction." Sp.m. onENCR, Movie: "Licence to Kill" — This 1989 JamesBond adventure is oneof the better recent entries in the series. It also was Ttmothy Dalton's last as Agent 007, who shuns Her Majesty's Secret Service to avenge his CIA pal's torture by a Mexican drug kingpin (Robert Davi). Carey Lowell andTalisa Soto play Bond's love interests. 9 p.m.on HBO, Movie:"Argo" — Director and star Ben Affleck's superb, Oscar-nominated 2012 drama is the true story of a CIA effort to get several American diplomats out of Iran during the late-1970s hostage crisis. Affleck plays an agent who poses as a producer of a supposed monster movie — "Argo" — and races the clock to retrieve the would-be captives by having them pretend to be his crew. The first-rate cast also includes Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"). ©Zap2it
