SALEM — Much of Oregon law dealing with child pornography was written well before the proliferation of smartphones. Lawmakers could not have anticipated, say, a middle schooler snapping a photo of himself naked and within seconds sending it to a fellow classmate. But that's what's happening. Deschutes County Sheriff's Deteca tive Zach Neemann said that in a relatively short period of time he's seen minors' inhibitions lessen. Younger people are feeling more comfortable

Travis Busack uses a fire hoseto spray water over the Seventh Mountain Resort ice skating rink Tuesday evening. This is one of the final steps in preparation for the rink to open on Friday. More than 3 inches of ice will cover the 8,000-square-foot rink, lasting throughout the winter. The rink will open for the season with Cosmic Skate, a laser-light-themed skate, this Friday from 7 to 10 p.m. Costume dress is encouraged, and those in costume will receive $2 off. Admission is $8 and free for children 5 and younger.

New U.S. rules will drive up the cost of living by the sea Fate of Afghan New York and New Jersey residents, just coming to grips with the enormous costsofrepairing homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, will soon face another financial blow: soaring flood insurance rates and heightened standards for rebuilding that threaten to make seaside living, once and for all, a luxury only the wealthy can afford. Homeowners in stormdamaged coastal areas who had flood insurance — and many more who did not but will now be required to — will face premium increases of as much as 20 or 25 percent per year beginning in January, under legislation enacted in July to shore up the debt-ridden National Flood Insurance Program. The yearly increases will add hundreds,eventhousands,of dollars to homeowners' annual bills. The higher premiums,

KABUL, Afghanistan — Just before she leapt from her roof into the streets of Kabul, Farima thought of the wedding that would never happen and the man she would never marry. Herfiance would be pleased to see her die, she later recalled thinking. It would offer relief to them both. Farima, 17, had resisted her engagement to Zabiullah since it was ordained by her grandfather when she was 9. In post-Taliban Kabul, where she walked to school and dreamed of becoming a doctor, she still clawed against a fate dictated by ritual. After 11 years of Western intervention in Afghanistan, a woman's right to study and work had long since been codified by the U.S.-backed government. Modernity had crept into A fghanistan's capital, Farima thought, but not far enough to save her from a forced marriage to a man she despised. Farima's father, Mohammed, was eating breakfast when he heard her body hit the dirt like a tiny explosion. SeeArranged /A4

PHILADELPHIA — When religion professor Stuart Charme decided to teach a course on the end of the world this semester, he knew he had a compelling hook: the Dec. 21 conclusion of the "Long Count" Mayan calendar that doomsday believers have latched on to as proof that time will end. But Charme had no idea what the next few months would bring: the cataclysmic Hurricane Sandy, a fiscal cliff some have dubbed "debtmageddon" and an intensifying conflict involving Israel, the place where Christian end-time theorists believe the apocalypse will commence.

Slapping a minor with a charge of distributing child pornography or exploitation of children, both felonies, for example, comes with severe consequences,including prison time and beinglabeled a sex offender. Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, said he's working on legislation for the upcoming session that would give prosecutors and judges more options when it comes to so called "sexting" cases. Right now, he said, their options vary between the draconian or simply ignoring those cases. "A judge is left with slapping them with a serious offenseand making them registeras a sex offender or nothing," Conger said. Deschutes County deputy district attorney Jason Kropf said sexting is taking place in Central Oregon, although saying how often it occurs is hard to nail down. SeeSexting/A4

Twin car bombskill dozens in Damascus DAMASCUS, Syria — Twin suicide car bombs ripped through a Damascus suburb minutes apart on Wednesday, killing at least 34 people, state media said, and rebels claimed they shot down a Syrian air force fighterjet. The state n ew s a g ency, SANA, said suicide bombers detonatedtwo carspacked with explosives early in the morning in theeastern suburb of Jaramana, a Christian and Druse area known as mostly loyal to President Bashar Assad. S uicide b o mbings h a v e struck regime targets in Damascus and elsewhere since lastDecember. Such attacks are a trademark of radical Muslim

groups fighting alongside other rebels units, raising concerns of growing influence of Islamic extremists among the forces seeking to topple the regime. Wednesday's bombs were detonated in a parking lot near a cluster of commercial build-

ings as groups of laborers and employees were arriving for work, killing 34 and injuring 83 people, SANA said.

When pressed for an explanation of how a supplier could use a factory without the retailer's approval and whether it happened often, Kevin Gardner, a Wal-Mart spokesman, did not directly address the issue in emails to The Associated Press. Sears said it learned after the blaze that its merchandise was being produced there without its approval through a vendor, which has since been fired. Walt Disney Co., which licenses its characters to clothing makers, said its records indicate that none of its licensees have been permitted to make Disney-brand products at the factory for at least a year.

Egypt's constitution panel vowsquickfinish By David D. Kirkpatrick New Vorlz Times News Service

CAIRO — Leaders of the assembly drafting a new constitution said Wednesday that they would complete their work by the next morning, a move that appeared aimed at trying to defuse a political crisis that has gripped Egypt since the president issued an edict that put his decisions above judicial scrutiny. If successful, the assembly could make moot thepower struggle between President Mohammed Morsi and the courts because the president's expanded powers were set to expire with the implementation of a new constitution. But given the heated environment, it seemed just as likely that a draft constitution — one adopted over the objections of the opposition — would instead inflame an escalating political battle between Morsi and his critics. On Tuesday the opposition brought hundreds of thousands of people intothe streets to denounce his attempt to assert a power above the courts and over the Islamist domina-

tion of the assembly drafting the national charter. The dual battles raging with the courts and in the streets began six days ago with M o rsi's decree. But both his attempt to claim the new powers and the opposition backlash are fired by the deadline on Sunday of a court ruling that could shortc ircuit the w r iting o f t h e constitution by breaking up the assembly. Courts have already dissolvedan earlierassembly as well as the newly elected Parliament. Morsi has saidhe issued the edictbecause he learned the Supreme Constitutional Court was poised on Sunday to strike down the current assembly, disrupting Egypt's already chaotic transition. The Constitutional Assembly's announcement of its intent to wrap up the draft constitution by today could render the case irrelevant. The assembly's charter might be sent to a referendum even if the court dissolved the chamber, unless the court nullifies the draft charter along with the assembly.

Pressed on how she would vote i f P r e sident B arack Obama names Rice to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Collins said, "I would need to have additional information before Icould support her nomination." President Barack Obama came to Rice'sdefense during a Cabinet meeting, calling her "extraordinary" and

saying he couldn't be prouder of the job she has done as U.N. ambassador. Cabinet members joined Obama in a pplauding Rice, who a t tended the meeting. Obama has not named a replacement for Clinton, who has said she intends to step down soon. At the State Department, Clinton was asked about her possible replacement. "Susan Rice has done a great job as our ambassador to the United Nations," Clinton said. "Of course, this decision about my successor is up to the president, but I am very happy he has the opportunity with a second term to make a decision." The misgivings from Collins, th e t o p R e publican on the Homeland Security Committee, came one day afterthree other GOP senators said they would try to block R i ce's n o m ination. Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and K elly Ayotte of New Hampshire saidthey were more troubled than ever by Rice's answers on Libya even though the ambassador conceded that her much-maligned first explanation was wrong. In an unusual move, Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morell have held two days of p r i vate meetings with R epublican senators in hopes of assuaging their concerns.

Pass

Pass repuiredfor commoncorridor

Continued from A1 As head of a Bend group opposed to paid permits for the use of public land, Scott Silver of Bend is skeptical about Mt. Bachelor's intentions. "To me it just looks like the first step toward charging for parking at the Mt. Bachelor parking lot," he said. Mt. Bachelor leases the land for the ski and snowboard area from the U.S. Forest Service. Kevin Larkin, district ranger for the Bend-Fort Rock district of the Deschutes National Forest, said Mt. Bachelor officials haven't told him of any plans to charge for parking in the lot. The new pass has surprised regularusers of the common corridor, like Linda Frost, a backcountry skier from Bend. "We are confused to what the purpose is," she said. She said she uses the common corridor about t w i ce per week on her way to backcountry skiing. Skiers and snowshoers using the common corridor will need to stop by the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and get a pass each day they plan to use

Skiers and snowboarders passing through the common corridor between the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and Century Drive are now required to carry a pass. The passes are free and available at the center.

also head toward the backcountry from the Dutchman Flat Sno-park just over threequarters of a mile from the Nordic Center. The sno-park is off Century Drive and requires an Oregon Sno-Park Permit. The permits cost $20 for the year,$7 for three consecutive days and $3 for a day, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation. W hile h e d o esn't m i nd Mt. Bachelor using passes to track the number of skiers and snowshoers using the common corridor, Lee Stevenson of Sunriver said he is hopeful the process won't be cumbersome. "I hope that they are sensitive to the historic access to the backcountry," he said. About three years ago Mt. Bachelor changed its uphill p olicy, limiting w hen a n d where skiers and snowboards can hike up the mountain to then glide back down. Stevenson was among the uphill skiers who immediately pushed for changes in the policy and still is only partially satisfied by the c ompromise made

it, Goggins said. There is no penalty for skiers or snowshoers found by Mt. Bachelor workers on the common corridor without a

pass. "We just ask them to go on in and pick one up at the nor-

dic lodge," Goggins said. A computerized gate, the same kind used at the alpine lifts at Mt. Bachelor, is now at the start of the common corridor near the lodge, he said. It will be used to track how

by Mt. Bachelor in January 2010, allowing uphill skiing to the top of the mountain along a route near the Summit chairlift when the lift is operating. "It's worked pretty w ell for us," said Goggins, the Mt. Bachelor spokesman. He said uphill skiing is a huge safety issue, and the intent of the policy it to keep hikers away from groomers and snowmobiles on the main runs. The policy keeps uphill skiers off the mountain before and after Mt. Bachelor is open, times that Stevenson said were popular for uphill skiersto sneak a run in prior to work or once they were done for the day. He said hiking up the mountain typically took him about an hour and a half. The Summit chairlift has yet to open this year, so Stevenson said u phill s k i i ng hasn't been allowed on the mountain despite good snow. "I've wanted to go up there, but I can't," he said. — Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarling@bendbulletin.com

The discounted rates disappear if owners sell, let their policies lapse or make major improvements. The s tiffened p enalties, higher premiums and elimination of subsidies enacted in July were meant to bolster the finances of the flood insurance program; it fell $18 billion into debt after Hurricane Katrina and had just $3 billion of borrowing capacity left before Hurricane Sandy, which could trigger claims of $6 billion to $12 billion. Congress was prodded into action not just by fiscal conservatives but by environmental advocates who believed the program encouraged recklessdevelopment in harm's way.

M ONYWA, Myan m a r — Security f orces cracked down on protesters occupying a copper mine early today, using water cannons and other devicesto break up the rally hours b efore opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was expected to hear their grievances. Unexplained fires engulfed the protest camps at the Letpadaung mine in northwestern Myanmar and dozens of Buddhist monks and villagers w ere injured, according to several protesters. Those who fled the site emerged with burns and charred clothing on their bodies. "Around 2:30 a.m. police announced they would give us 5 minutes to leave," said protester Aung Myint Htway, a peanut farmer whose face and body was covered with black spots where his skin was burned. He said police fired water cannons first and then fired from what he and others called flare guns. "They fired black balls that exploded into f i r e s p a rks. They shot about six t i mes. People ran away and they followed us," he said, still writhing hours later from pain. "It's very hot." The government ordered protesters earlier this week to evacuate the mine by Wednesday or face legal action. The protesters, who had set up six camps at the site, say the Letpadaung mine near the town of Monywa is causing environmental, social and health problems. The protest is t h e l atest major example of increased activism by citizens since an electedgovernment took over last year following almost five decades of repressive military rule. "This is unacceptable," said Ottama Thara, a 25-year-old monk who was at the protest. "This kind of violence should not happen under a government that says it is committed to democratic reforms." The mine is a joint venture between a Chinese firm and a company controlled by Myanmar's military. China is a major investor and strategic ally of Myanmar, and the backing of the military is crucial to government stability.

Congo rebels begin slow retreat By Melanie Gouby and Rukmini Callimachi The Associated Press

GOMA, Congo — Rebels believed to be backed by Rwanda began retreating from the territory they seized last week and pulled out of the region of Masisi, their military leader said Wednesday, in the first concrete sign that international pressure hasstemmed the advance of the fighters. Gen. Sultani Makenga, the military chief for the eight-month-old r ebellion known as M23, said that his fighters intend to abide by an ultimatum issued by neighboring nations that called for their withdrawal from Goma by Friday. He said he had ordered his fighters to r etreat along t he s o u theastern a x i s from Masisi to Goma, and they will then leave Goma via the northern route to Rutshuru. "My soldiers began to retreat from Masisi yesterday. We will go via Goma and then after that we will retreat to 12 m i les past Goma toward Rutshuru," Makenga told The Associated Press on Friday. "I think that by F r iday we will be able to complete this." The M23 rebel group is made up of hundreds of soldiers who deserted the Congolese army in April.

"We lookedatwhythese ideas proliferate over time," he said, and how they provide "what if" scenarios to help guide human behavior.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighterwas conceived as a state-of-the art aircraft that could be adapted to three branches of the military. The jets would cost taxpayers $396 billion, including research and development, if the Pentagon sticks to its plan to build 2,443 by the late 2030s.

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — The Marine version of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, already more than a decade in the making, was facing a crucial question: Could the jet, which can soar well past the speed of sound, land at sea like a helicopter? On an October day last year, with Lt. Col. Fred Schenk at the controls, the plane glided toward a ship off the Atlantic coast and then, its engine rotating straight down, descended gently to the deck at 7 feet a second. There were cheers from the ship's crew m embers, who "were all shaking my hands and smiling," Schenk recalled recently. The smooth landing helped save that model and breathed new life into the F-35 program, the most expensive weapons system in military history. But while Pentagon officials say the

But he declined to predict how many planes would be purchased. The roots of the problems go back to the mid-1990s, when military officials pitched the F-35 as simple and affordable, with the three versions sharing 70 to 80 percent of their parts. The planes would be versatile,

"The first thing you think of when you think of legalized marijuana is college students smoking it," said Anna Marum, a Washington State senior from Kelso, Wash. "It's ironic that all 21-year-olds in Washington can smoke marijuana except for college students."

TRAIL UPDATE Sno-parks look not yet ready "Mostsno-parks are not functioning at this pointfor winter," said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest

Service trails specialist. The sno-parks currently operational are Dutchman Flat, in fair condition (18-20 inches

of snow), andVista Butte and SwampyLakes,

both with marginal conditions.

Wanoga SnoplayArea is "currently lacking

snow for snow playactivities," said Sabo. A substantial amount of rain is expected for the

next weekeven at midelevations (5,500-5,800 feet), which maynot improve conditions, said Sabo. Dutchman and

Swampy, at higher elevations, might insteadget a rain-snow mix or snow. With other sno-parks

unusable, Dutchman may be fairly busy this

weekend. Keep inmind that parking is limited, said Sabo.

The oval — a large, flat, immaculately groomed track — is a great place to learn how to cross-country ski or to practice technique. The views aren't bad either.

option around at this point in the season. We had no regrets about spending our time and money on the excursion. Deciding where to take an outing this time of year can be baffling. I debated my destination the whole holiday weekend. Since Sunday morning offered some sunshine and glimpses of blue sky, it was tempting to hike along a river and look for waterfowl, or drive east for a sunny stroll in the High Desert. But the decision was cinched when someone invited our 7-year-old daughter over for a playdate, and my husband and I had an opportunity for a date. Skate skiing is one of the few sports we are compatible at, and unlike other options, it's not something we can do with the kid. And I really wanted to get on my freshly waxed skate skis. We loaded up the Subaru and headed up Century Drive. In the interest of research, we pulled first into the Virginia Meissner Snopark, the closest to town and my favorite place to skate ski. But the lower elevation trail system didn't look good from the parking lot. The snow was thin, lumpy and wet. Classic skiing was probably doable, but why bother? (Meissner Nordic Community Ski Trails' Facebook page said the target date to start grooming trails is Saturday"if the snow fairies cooperate." You can keep watch at www. meissnernordic.org.)

"Minnie next led the ace and jack of diamonds," the Cynic growled. "We had to convince her that my king had won. She thought she had the A-K and was running the diamonds. But I naturally led another low heart. Minnie producedthe queen and made her game." If Minnie wins the first heart with the queen, Cy will shift to clubs, as the onlychance forthe defense, when he takes the king of diamonds.

OSUnegotiating with consultants Storms orecast forCascadescampussi teneeds in Northwest By Bea Botkln The Bulletin

Oregon State UniversityC ascadeshas identified a preferred company that, if hired, will assist the school with planning its space needs as work moves forward for a four-year campus in Bend. The company, SRG Partnership Inc., has offices in Portland and Seattle, and has worked on higher education projects throughout the Northwest. The contract negotiations haven't concluded and SRG Partnership isn't on board just yet.

The OSU contracts office in Corvallis is negotiating a fee with the firm, said OSU-Cascades President Becky Johnson on Wednesday. The university request for proposals for a growth needs analysis attracted 11 applicants, and SRG Partnership had a good sense of what the university wants, Johnson said. "I think one of the ways a lot of the applicants went wrong is trying to make it a bigger project than it is," Johnson said. "We were just asking for a needs analysis of the number of square feet we'll need and this particular company got

that the best and has good experiencein doingthose needs assessments." The university, which advertised for services in October, has $50,000 budgeted for the contract. The project description has two phases. First, the selected firm will prepare a facilities demand analysis that looks at the squarefootage needed for areas like classrooms, student

services, housing, parking and offices. That analysis must cover the period 2014 to 2025, factoring in growth and showing the anticipated space needs. SeeOSU/C2

woman, whomthe Sheriff's Office did not identify, after she threatened him with a kitchen knife. Later, according to the Sheriff's Office, Eaton told detectives he shot the woman and placed the knife in her hand.

Public records identify the woman as Elena Nikolaevna Eaton.

Central Oregon should avoid the worst of a series of powerful storms building offshore, but is still likely to seesustained and sometimes heavy rain over the next week. As much as a foot of rain is forecast to fall on parts of Northern California, but the storms will leave their mark from British Columbia to southern California, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Robert Cramp. Cramp said that through the weekend, the Central Oregon Cascades could see 3 to 6 inches of rain, with 1 to 3 inches falling in Bend and Redmond. A brief break in the weather could come on Monday, Cramp said, with storms resuming on Tuesday. The amount of precipitation contained in each of the storm fronts that should be passing through every 24 to 36 hours through the middle of next week is not unusual-

The weather service does not expect flooding anywhere in Central Oregon, though river levels should rise steadily through early next week.

Members of the Bend and Ochoco chapters of the Oregon Hunter's Association are sick and tired of poachers killing wildlife and leaving the meat to waste, saidBend chapter President Mike Whitney, the Central Oregon director for the state-

wide group. "They just cut the heads off and take the antlers," he said. He said each chapter chipped in $500 that, when added to another $500 already offered by the state, amounts to a $1,500 reward for information leading to arrests in a pair of poaching cases near Bend in past two weeks. A pair of wildlife filmmakers found four dead deer in the Kotzman Basin on Nov. 17, according to Oregon State Police. The deer had been shot the day before and were headless. Two more dead deer — a headless buck and a doe — were found Sunday about seven miles south of the first discovery. The dead deer were found in winter range for the ani-

mals, the open country they move to for breeding and feeding during the colder months, said Senior Trooper Andrew Menlow of the Oregon State Police. He said the poachers likely took the heads of the deer as trophies. During this time of year, deer aren't as wary of humans as they normally are, particularly the bucks, said Duane Dungannon, state coordinator for the Oregon Hunter's Association. "They are just plain dumb, they are focused on procreating and not much else," he said. He said he is hopeful the reward beingoffered for information in the poaching cases near Bend will bring out information that leads to arrests. Whitney agreed, saying the poachers killed the deer for a "sick sport." "This is the most vulnerable time for deer," he said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Turn-In-Poachers tip line at 1-800-452-7888 or the OSP at 541-388-6213. — Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarlingNbendbulletin.com

2 Bend midwives face discipline from state board By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Two Bend midwives face discipline from the state for keeping inadequate records, failing to disclose whether they had malpractice insurance and other alleged unprofessional acts. Nicole Tucker, who owns and operatesMotherwise Community Birth Center, may be sanctioned for two inci-

dents, while Christyn King, a former midwife at the center, may be sanctioned for one incident. Calls to Motherwise were not returned. The Oregon Health Licensing Agency's Board of Direct Entry Midwifery in June notified Tucker and King of the impending discipline. The women may request hearings; if they don't, the order will become final.

The board investigated Tucker alone on one complaint and the two together on another complaint. In response to a complaint filed in March 2011, the board alleges Tucker failed to tell a client whether Motherwise carried malpractice insurance, and described her chart notes as deficient. The agency has proposed a $1,500 fine. In December 2010, the

woman's water broke nearly 24 hours before Tucker decidedthe woman needed to go to a hospital because her labor wasn't progressing. The woman asked and Tucker arranged for her to be taken to St. Charles Redmond, 18 miles away. But after arriving there, the baby was delivered by Caesarean section and then flown to St. Charles Bend's neonatal intensive care unit

with possible sepsis, according to the disciplinary notice. In a second case,, the state received a complaint against Tucker and King in September 2010. According to the board investigation, the complaining client started receiving care from Motherwise in September 2009, with Tucker as her primary midwife. King assisted with the woman's care.

In it s answer, the state said it issued administrative rules to govern midwifery, but denies any culpability in the birth. In July, Tucker admitted that she and Motherwise lacked malpractice i nsurance, but wrote that she didn't have enough information to weigh in on the medical allegations of the lawsuit. King also a nswered the lawsuit in July. She wrote she doesn't know w h ether she or another employee told the Andrewses about the lack of malpractice insurance, and "did not intentionally hide any information and was unaware the Patient Disclosure form did not contain this information." She also wrote that to her recollection, Kristine Andrews' blood pressure was "within the scope of the guidelines set by the licensing board" during labor.

ing the "finding of facts" in the order. The disciplinary action isn't the first problem for Tucker, King and Motherwise. In April, the parents of a child who suffered complications at birth sued Motherwise, King and Tucker, as well as the state, asking for more than $50 million and alleging medical negligence and fraud. The lawsuit, filed by Kristine and Greg Andrews on behalf of their son, alleges that Motherwise, Tucker and King lacked malpractice insurance and did not alert the parents to that fact. According to th e l awsuit, when the child was born April 5, 2010, he did not breathe on his own. He was taken to St. Charles Bend; discharged 10 days later, he had signs of brain

Continued from C1 After that work i s f i nished, a separate real estate consultant, hired under a different contract, will identify possible properties in the Bend area to develop into a campus based on the results of the first phase. The consultant hired to analyze space needs will then look at the properties, evaluating them for space, quality and proximity to needs like parking. That work will also entail conceptual estimates for the work needed to convert the properties into campus space. The Bend campus offers upper level courses, with students attending classes at Central Oregon Community College in their freshman and sophomore years. By 2015, OSU-Cascades aims to have pilot four-year programs in place, and grow to a campus of up to 5,000 students by 2025. Gov. John K i t zhaber's proposed budget for 20132015 has $16 million in it designated for the Bend campus expansion. Community fundraising goals are set at $4 million, with another $4 million from the university. Community fun d r aising has raised about $3.1 million so far. In October, the school reported a fall enrollment of 1,026 students. Of that, 789 are students taking junior, senior and g raduate-level courses, and 237 are students admitted to the branch OSU-Cascades campus and taking COCC courses. Jon Wiener, a principal of SRG Partnership based in its Portland office, said the prospect of getting involved in a new campus project is a good opportunity. "It's just a very exciting project because it's not often that you get to be involved in a campus that's emerging, that is really at its birth," he sald. SRG Partnership's work on campuses is widespread throughout the Northwest. Its portfolio includes a library renovation and addition at Southern Oregon University, a facilities master plan for Seattle University and the University of Oregon College of Business. If the contract comes together, the firm will team up with Biddison Hier, a consulting firm based in Washington, D.C., Wiener said. That firm has worked for institutions like Harvard University, Dartmouth College and Stanford University, according to its website. "They bring in national expertise, which is going to be valuable so that the numbers we develop for growth needs are realistic, but at the same time, they are also visionary," Wiener said. The real estate consultant hasn't been selected yet, Johnson said. The university has advertised for those services, with a deadline of Nov. 12 for proposals. The university received four responses and will schedule interviews with applicants in the weeks ahead, possibly making a decision by the end of December, Johnson sa>d.

Other concessions include letting employers go to court to end work stoppages immediately and allowing supervisors to perform work during health-and-safety disputes, or if the union hiring

hall can't supply enough qualified grain handlers. The union said it doesn't consider the talks at an impasse and has offered additional negotiating dates. "The union has been extraordinarily flexible in our attempts to reach an agreement with the multinational grain industry," Sargent said. "We've offered shift extensions, wage freezes, a rolloverof ourcurrent agreement, and many more attempts to keep the grain flowing." One of the grain shippers — LD Commodities — is a tenant at the Port of Portland, and the contract dispute is the third labor issue to hit the port since June. On Saturday, port officials and union leaders who represent marine terminal security guards narrowly averted a strike that would have effectively shut down three terminals.

Lane CountyJail: a revolving door? The Associated Press EUGENE — When the campus police arrested a man at the University of Oregon with a stolen bike, bolt cutters, marijuana and heroin, booking him at the county jail wasn't an option. The ne w c a m pus f o r ce doesn't carry guns, so for safety reasons they're not allowed to transport criminal suspects to jaiL The city of Eugene Police Department, whose officers do carry guns, is short-handed. It was early Sunday morning, and Eugene officers were busy dealing with weekend calls, so they couldn't come to pick up the suspect. And even if there had been somebody to take the 26-yearold to jail, he'd likely been set free soon, as he has been twice before in recent months. Lane County has cut jail capacity to balance a budget that'sbeen drained of federal timber subsidies, as in many Southern Oregon jurisdictions. Lane County closed 96 jail beds in June and plans to close 35 more this week. So, the E ugene Register Guard reports, the university officers gave Charles Kyvelos a citation for misdemeanor of-

fenses and a letter barring him from the campus, and then set himfree. On Oct. 3, Kyvelos was sentenced to 120 days in jail after being convicted of heroin and methamphetamine po s session. Jail officials released him the next day to make room for anotherprisoner deemed more dangerous to the community. On Nov. 4, Kyvelos was arrested for a probation violation and set free a short time later becausethere was no room, jail records show. University spokesman Kelly McIver said the campus officerswere wellaware that even if Kyvelos had been booked, his stay may have been brief, and

they had no issue with the city police not coming to pick him

up. "We know it's not always possible for them to be free to deal with people who haven't been involved in a v i o lent crime," Mclver said. Attempts to reach Kyvelos were unsuccessful. A phone in his name was disconnected. The public defender'soffice said it hadn't been assigned his case. The bicycle and bike wheel Kyvelos is accused of stealing were returnedto their owners, both students. The city police plan to consult with p rosecutors about felony charges.

Veterans are able to get better services locally or well over a decade volunteers have driven Central Oregon veterans in need of medical care across the mountains to the Veterans Affairs hospital in Portland. Now, while some vets still will need to make the trip, many, many more will be able to get what they need within an easy drive from home. Bend's outpatient clinic, which opened its doors on a relatively limited basis back in 1999, started this week in new digs with much more toofferthe men and women of the region who served their country and qualify for VA medical services as a result. Among other things, the new clinic offers physical therapy, audiology service and much expanded mental health services. Yet even the five mental health providers on staff cannot meet the demand in the region, and some will receive services at one of five telehealth stations linked to a VA facility in San Diego. All that is very good news for local veterans in need of health care. It's also good news to the volunteers who have filled in the gap over the years.

For five days a week, vans driven by veterans and other volunteers have and will continue to take veterans to Portland so they can receive care that isn't available locally. While the number of riders is likely to diminish in the wake of the local clinic expansion, some still will need to make the trip. For thevan drivers,it's been a labor of love over the years. That surely must be especially true in the wintertime when the vans, which take the Mount Hood route to Portland, must run in downright terrible weather. Yet drivers have faced down everything from blizzardstoblack icein orderto assure veterans in need get the health care they require. The van service is run by the Disabled American Veterans as part of a transportation program that began with Henry Ford's donation of 50 Model T Fords to the group to transport World War I vets. We suspect that those who do the driving will not be sorry to see their load diminish, for it will do so because better service is available in Central Oregon. It's the bestpossible reason to have one's workload go down.

Beware of electric devices that draw phantom power By David i. Levine Los Angeles Times

The typical American

ou're responsible about conserving energy. You turn off the television when you're not watching it and the lights when you leave a room. But don't feel too smug. Your home electronics may be working against your green instincts. Many of today's appliances draw considerable electricity — known as phantom power or standby powereven when you've shut them down. The typical American home has dozens ofthese devices, and they increasethe average household electric bill by 5 percent to 10 percent. In some casesthispower provides value to consumers. For example, a microwave oven might power the kitchen's only clock, and a cordless phone needs to stand ready to receive a phone call. But such examples are the exception. Most phantom power is simply to make life a bit more convenient. Your television, say, may come on more quickly than it otherwise would, and it remains ready, even when off, to respond to a remote control. This sort of standby power could be eliminated without losing functionality, and doing so could reduce electricity usage nationwide by 4 percent or more. Eliminating standby power might mean you have to wait extra seconds for your television to come to life, but it would also save you money. And the costs of phantom power can be significant. For example, the con-

home hasdozens of

these devices, and they

increase the average household electric bill by 5 percent to 10 percent. verter box for cable or satellite TV is likely to cost you hundreds of dollars over its lifetime. Consumers can take steps to exorcise some phantom power, and it's worth the effort. If you have a television in a rarely used guest room, un-

plug it. Also consider plugging your television and its related devices into a power strip, and flipping it off at night or when you go on vacation. And unplug chargers when they're not being used. But exorcising phantom power can't be entirely left up to consumers. For one thing, they have no way of knowing which devices draw the most power. Few consumers would knowingly choose devices that will cost them hundreds of dollars when turned off, but manufacturers aren't required to alert consumers to how much standby power a device consumes. This leaves appliance companies free to design devices that waste lots of electricity. Consumers need access to more information, and there are models for providing that. Today's refrig-

erators,for example, are required by law to come with energy ratings that tell purchasers how much power they are likely to use. Consumers can use those estimates to choose between one brand and another, which has given manufacturers a strong incentive to design energyefficient refrigerators. Similarly, if manufacturers were required to list how much phantom power adevice is likely to draw, it would in turn put pressure on manufacturersto addresstheissue. But even a labeling system for phantom power can only go so far. With some devices — cable converter boxes, for example — consumers don't necessarily have a choice. In such cases, the companies supplying the devices should be required to inform consumers aboutthe expected costs of phantom power when they order service.If consumers could compare power usage before choosing, say, between cable and satellite TV, providers would have incentives to distribute energy-efficient boxes. A number of other countries have gone even further and now regulate standby power. The European Commission has limited new appliances to drawing no more than 1 watt of power in standby mode, and South Korea requires warning labels on devices that draw substantial phantom power. It's time for the United States to catch up with the pack. — David L Levineis a professorat UC Berlzel ey'sH aas School ofBusiness.

Oregon is smart on crime, but needs to be smart on msts By John Foote read with interest the recent opinion piece in your newspaper, authored by Grover Norquist, one of a small handful of conservative figures who have partnered with the Washington, D.C.-based Pew Center to advocate for closing prisons across the nation. Now the Pew Center is in Oregon attempting to do the same here — advocating that we deal with crime problems by allowing more convicted criminals to remain out of custody while they are treated for their behavior, in hopes that they might not continue to commit crimes. And as they have done in other states, the Pew Center has enlisted the assistance of Norquist to advocate for their position. Both the Pew Center and Norquist point to the state of Texas as an example of the direction that Oregon

should take to "get smart on crime." Their reliance on Texas as a beacon for justice policy is oddly misplaced. For all that the state of Texas might have done to reduce its number of prison inmates, the i ncarceration rate in that state is still twice as high as it is in Oregon, almost half of inmates are nonviolent offenders and the state's violent crime rate is almost twice as high as ours. Prison economization there has been achieved by turning vast segments of their prison system over to private corporations, resulting in a trail of lawsuits for the mistreatment of inmates. We doubt that Oregonians would choose totrade our lower crime rates and our lower incarceration rates for the private prisons and greater crime that exist in Texas today. If Texas is ever to achieve the success in justice policy that we already enjoy here

IN MY VIEW in Oregon, it must look forward to many, many more years of additional reforms. The reality is that Oregon's correction system is recognized as a shining example for the rest of the nation, and not the other way around. We have the 33rd highest incarceration rate in the nation, but nonetheless have been second in the nation in the reduction of violent crime since 1995. (Even after its reforms, Texas still has the fourth highest incarceration rate in the country) We have the lowest percentage of nonviolent offenders in prison of any state in the nation. In Oregon only 31 percent of prison inmates are incarcerated for nonviolent crimes, whereas in Texas almost half of inmates are nonviolent offenders,even afterNorquist's trumpeted

reforms. In Oregon, only a quarter of convictedfelons are sentenced to prison, as opposed to a national average of 40 percent. Oregon is probably the only state in the nation that requires by statute the use of scientifically validated programs to treat offenders. In short, our state agot smart on crime" many years ago, and we did it without the help of out-of-state advocacy groups like the Pew Center, and Norquist. Where Oregon has indeed failed to get smart is on controlling prison costs, and curiously no one in state government has shown much inclination to tackle that problem. Oregon has one of the most expensive daily inmate costs in th e n ation, and the American Corrections Association found that it led the nation in increased inmate costs in the last biennium. If we are spending too

much money on corrections, it is not because we are locking up too many criminals; we are not. It is because our prison administrative and labor costs are much higher than in most other states. Yet the leadership of the current Commission on Public Safety has repeatedly attempted to take any discussion of prison administration and costs off the table, and has concentrated solely on saving money by sending fewer convicted felons to prison. One might have expected Norquist, who made his name as an advocate of leaner government, to have taken up this issue, rather than venturing into an area where he has no expertise and where he simply got his facts wrong — John FooteisClachamas County district attorney andformer deputy director and inspector general of the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Richards pI'odLlced

plays on Broadway By Bruce Weber New York Times News Service

Martin Richards, who began a show business career as a boy soprano and grewup to become a theaterand movie producer who won an Oscar for the film adaptation of the musical "Chicago" 27 years after he helped bring it to Broadway, died Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 80. The cause was complications of liver cancer, said Michael Milton, a longtime personal aide to Richards and an associate producer at Richards' production company, the Producer Circle. Flamboyant and loquacious, wealthy and generous, Richards was a high roller in the theater world, and a high liver — especially after his marriage, in 1978, to Mary Lea Johnson, a Johnson 8 Johnson heiress, who gave him a mansion on Gin Lane in Southampton, NY., as a wedding present, where outlandish parties were legion during the 1980s. But far from being a rich dilettante, he was a true man of the theater and knew how to pick a winner. Broadway dimmed its lights in his memory on Tuesday night. His Broadway credits include "On the Twentieth Century," Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Cy Coleman's 1978 musical, which starred Kevin Kline, Imogene Coca, Madeline Kahn, Judy Kaye and John Cullum and won five Tonys; "Sweeney Todd," Stephen Sondheim's grisly 1979 masterpiece, which won eight Tonys, including best musical; "La Cage aux Folles," Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman's musical farce about gay-straight relations in aloopy, extended family (six Tonys); "Grand Hotel," a 1989 musical directedby Tommy Tune about the various guests at a Berlin hotel in the late 1920s (five); and "The Will Rogers Follies," based on the life of the plain-spoken humorist, which won for best musical and best score. "Chicago," directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse and starring Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera, opened in 1975 and was Richards' Broadway producing debut. He was overwhelmed much of the time, fearful of the imperious Fosse and a junior partner to a more experienced producer, Robert Fryer. However, when Fosse had a heart attack, postponing the opening, it was Richards who stepped up and found the performers temporary jobs, earning Fosse's respect and loyalty. Richards was known as a producer who fell in love with his projects, and he probably loved "Chicago" most of all. A dark satire about two murderesseson death row, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb (the original production ran from 1975 to 1977; the current revival opened in 1996 and is still on Broadway), it followed a rocky path to the screen and didn't make it until 2002, an achievement that by all accounts is owed to Richards' tenacity. "Marty just supported it so much; he just thought it was the greatest thing," Rivera, who eventually grew too old for a lead role in the film and played a smaller one, said in an interview on Tuesday. "He never gave up on what he truly believed in. He was a bulldog."

dominance is not really about sorting out at all, but simply a demographic engine of density: The coasts just have a lot more people, so even a slightly tilted preference toward one party gets amplified. "The clustering is not because of political beliefs," said Samuel Abrams, an associate professor of politics at Sarah L awrence C ollege. M a n y studies and surveys, he said, show Americans less likely than ever to even know the politics of their neighbors, especially in larger cities, or to be discussing politics over the backyard fence. Party registration, Abrams said, has also been declining, even in so-called landslide counties that can look fiercely partisan, especially in presidential elections. He said when all election results are examined, not just for president, the research shows in fact a decline between 1976 and 2008 in the number of lopsided, sorted-out counties.

Demographers also say population trends could throw cold water on the idea that

geography defines political destiny. Eastern Washington, for example, where more conservative voting patterns have long prevailed, had some urban areas growing faster than the west, recent census numbers show. But a strong element of the growth was also in Latino populations, which showed strong support for Democrats nationally in this month's elections. But Washington has gone its own way, contrary to national winds, before. The last Republican governor, Spellman, was elected in 1980, when President Ronald Reagan led the Republicans to the White House in a close victory. Four years later, when Reagan won re-election in a landslide, Washington voters rejected Spellman and replaced him with a Democrat.

WILLIAM S. RQYcE October 21,1918 — November 21, 2012 William S. (Bill) Royce died peacefully in his Bend, OR home early morning on November 21, 2012 at the age of 94. Funeral Mass to be held at St. Francis of Assisi Historic Church in Downtown Bend on Friday, November 30, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. Following will be a Celebration of Life for family and friends at 4:00 p.m. in the Touchmark River Lodge Club Room (4th floor).

"For me, it's just about getting out here," Burchett said over the rush of the river surging through the remote pine forest. Located just northwest of Sisters, the Metolius is perhaps best known for its superb dry-fly fishing in the summertime. But many anglers find it difficult to stay away later in the year, and the most hardy of them make their way to the Metolius even

Crook County's Annie Fraser (sr., outside hitter) all received all-state second-team honors. Additionally, Cowgirl coach Rosie Honl was named the 4A coach of the year, the eighth time in her career she has won such an honor. In 5A, Summit senior outside hitter Laney Hayes and Bend senior middle blocker Molly Maloney both garnered all-state first-team recognition. Hayes, who has signed to play at Boise State next year, led the Storm to a fourth-place trophy at this year's 5A state tourney, and Maloney was key to the Lava Bears' fifth-place finish at state.

Georgia, 'Bamabackfields comein 2s No. 6 Oregon By John Zenor The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — That running back duo in the Southeastern Conference

championship game has been punishingly effective all season. Pick a team — No. 3 Georgia or No. 2 Alabama — the description fits. B ulldogs freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith M a r shall r o l l i n t o Sa t u r day's game with 1,858 combined yards and 22 touchdowns. The Crimson Tide counters with Eddie Lacy, freshman T.J. Yeldon and their collective 1,848 yards and 24 touchdowns. The stats hardly settle the debate of which tailback tandem is better. "They've got two great running backs," Tide cornerback Dee Milliner said. "We've got two, three great running backs here." Well, that's no help. There is not an easy answer. Both backfield combinations have been terrific. If one player gets winded, the other goes in. One gets a little dinged up, no problem. Fresh legs, and no rest for the weary defenses. It has been Alabama's formula since Nick Saban arrived. See Backfields /D5

waits to find out its bowl destination By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

The Oregon football Ducks are taking a break this week while awaiting formal word on where they will be headed this postseason. There is a general consensus that the No. 6 Ducks are headed as an atlarge bid to the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3 in Arizona, but that will not be cemented until Sunday when the bowl bids are announced. The bigger mystery surrounds who Oregon will face in the game. Many are hoping for a matchup with No. 7 Kansas State, to spotlight Oregon freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota and Wildcats senior quarterback Collin Klein. Kansas State hosts No. 23 Texas in its regular-season finale on Saturday. SeeOregon /D5

ACC votes to add Louisville

Storm boysheaded to cross-country nationals inPortland

By Aaron Beard

Bulletin staff report The Summit Central Oregon boys club crosscountry team, made up of Summit High runners, has qualified for the Nike Cross Nationals on Saturday in Portland. The Storm received an at-large berth for the national meet after placing third in the Nike Cross Northwest regional meet in Boise, Idaho, on Nov. 11. Summit sophomore Matthew Maton paced the SCO club, finishing ninth overall on the 5,000-meter regional course in 15 minutes, 56.7 seconds. Eric Alldritt took 11th (15:58.2) and Travis Neuman placed 33rd (16:20.8). The 2012 Nike Cross Nationals boys race is scheduled to start at 11:35 a.m. Saturday at Portland Meadows racetrack.

Atlantic Coast Conference leaders got the school they w anted. Louisville was r e lieved to find a home amid the latest wave of realignment. The A CC anno u nced Wednesday that its presidents and chancellors unanimously voted to add Louisville as the replacement for M a r y land, which will join the Big Ten in 2014. Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich was concerned the Cardinals would be left behind in a constantly shifting landscape. nYou always worry about that, there's no question about it — especially when you're sitting in our chairs," Jurich said in a teleconference. "But I think when you look at what w e've done and t h e b o dy of work, I think it was very well worth it to wait because we were able to get what we wanted. "We feel it's the best fit for this university." Louisville was a candidate to join the Big 12 last year before that league took West Virginia, though Maryland's unexpected a n n ouncement last week created a new opportunity for both the school and the ACC. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that ACC leaders also considered Connecticut and Cincinnati over the past week before the vote to add Louisville during a conference call Wednesday morning. The Cardinals will bring a tradition-rich men's basketball program, a solid football program and a college-focused market to the ACC. " When you look at L o uisville, you see a university and an athletic program that has all the arrows pointed up — a tremendous uptick there, t remendous energy," A C C Commissioner John Swofford said. "It's always an overall fit in every respect and I think that's what we found." L ouisville i s t h e f o u r t h s chool i n 1 5 m o n th s a n d seventh in th e past decade to leave the Big East for the ACC.

WOMEN'S SOCCER

The Associated Press

PORTLAND — It was something of an understatement when Alex Morgan said she was feeling it against Ireland. Morgan scored three first-half goals and the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women's national team defeated Ireland 5-0 on Wednesday night, the latest match in an exhibition tour for fans following the London Games. On the drizzle-slicked turf of Portland's JeldWen Field, Abby Wambach and the rest of the U.S. women's teamencouraged Morgan. "Abby and everyone just kept saying 'Shoot! Shoot! It's a slick surface!' So I did," Morgan said afterward, lingering to sign autographs. "I was feeling it." Sydney Leroux added two goals to help the topranked United States improve to 4-0-2 on its Fan Tribute Tour. Morgan struck first in the 24th minute. It was her 25th goal this year, making her the third U.S. player to reach the mark in a season — Wambach had 31 in 2004 and Michelle Akers had 39 in 1991. Morgan scored again in the 34th minute, when she had a clear path from just outside of the box in front of goalkeeper Emma Byrne. Morgan's third, which was unassisted, came in the 44th minute. It was her second career hat trick. She also had one March 7in a 4-0 victory over Sweden. Acting U.S. coach Jill Ellis said the 23-year-old forward's performance was "obviously special." "Every time she touched the ball something dangerous happened," Ellis said. Morgan was subbed out for Leroux, who scored in the 66th minute to make it 4-0. She scored again in the 81st minute for the final margin. Leroux has a r e serve-record 12 goals this

season. Hope Solo started in goal for the U.S. while her personal life was again grabbing headlines. Earlier Wednesday,husband Jerremy Stevens was taken into custody in Hillsborough County, Fla., for an alleged parole violation. The day before their wedding on Nov. 13 in Washington state, Stevens was arrested for alleged domestic assault during a party in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland. Court documents said police reported

seeing signs of a fight and a cut on Solo's arm. A judge releasedStevens after a court appearance, saying there was no evidence connecting him to any assault. Solo spoke to reporters at a team training session in Portland on Tuesday, proclaiming she was happy and she would never stand for domestic violence. She blamed the media for distorting the story. Following reports of Stevens arrest in Florida, Solo posted to Twitter: "I feel bad for all the ignorance in the world. People are so quick to judge. The media spins stories in such dramatic fashion. I will continue to show love, and never make judgments. I am blessed w True Love 8 the beautiful game of soccer. Iw ish everybody the same happiness." Stevens was selected with the No. 28 pick of the 2002 draft by the Seahawks after a stellar career at Washington. But he also was involved in incidents away from football that included reckless driving charges for crashing into a nursing home. Solo also went to Washington. According to various reports, they started dating following the London Olympics. Solo did not speak to reporters after Wednesday night's match.

MLB COMMENTARY

The Big 3 deserve a big no inHall vote By Tim Dahlberg

The Associated Press

t could have been the greatest Hall of Fame class since Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb were installed in the very first vote back in 1936. It would have been if those eligible had allowed their natural ability to carry the day. Barry Bonds never needed steroids to be great. It was already in his genes, and the numbers he put up before he suddenly grew larger than life would have been enough to make him a first-ballot choice the moment he

was eligible. Roger Clemensalready had four Cy Young Awards and an MVP by the time his former personal trainer said he started injecting he pitcherwith human growth hormone — an accusation Clemens vehemently denies to this day but one that will taint him forever. Sammy Sosa might have gotten in even without the cartoonish home run totals he and Mark McGwire put up beginning in the late 1990s. They're all on the ballot released Wednesday by the Hall of Fame, ready to be judged for the first time by more than 600 longtime members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. They need 75 percent of the vote to be enshrined among the greats of the past. And they're not going to get it. Not this year, anyway. Not with the Steroids Era still looming over Major League Baseball. The guardians of the game stand in their way, ready to do something Bud Selig and the rest of baseball refuse to do — hold players responsible for soiling the sport.

title game on Friday night. "I won't talk about that at all," MAC coach of the year Darrell Hazell said about Kent State's BCS prospects. "I'll talk about Northern Illinois. If our guys don't focus on this Friday we won't have the opportunity to play in some of those big games. "This is huge, huge game for this university." Northern Illinois is 21st in the BCS standings and could also get into the top 16, but would need a little extra help. It's just as likely an NIU victory in the MAC title game will eliminate both the Huskies and the Golden Flashes. Boise State, 20th in the standings, plays at Nevada on Saturday and can win a share of the Mountain West title. The Broncos also have a long shot chance at getting into the top 16, but it would be tough for them to jump the MAC champion. If a BCS busterdoes emerge, the

biggest loser could be the Big 12. No. 12 Oklahoma plays TCU on Saturday with a chance to close its season 10-2 (losses against Notre Dame and Kansas State) and earn a share of the conference title. The Sooners can still win the Big 12 if they win and Kansas State loses to Texas. Still, there's room for both in the BCS unless space needs to be created for Kent State or one of the other potential BCS busters. If the Golden Flashes (I1-1), who lost to Kentucky by 33 early in the season and later won at Rutgers, do find their way into the BCS, expect it to be in the Orange Bowl. The Orange Bowl has the last selection among the BCS bowls and it's not likely any other game will be rushing to take Kent State, or Northern Illinois (11-1) for that matter. But rest assured those teams won't

be picky.

Coachesremain mostly white, male By Kyle Hightower The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — A study of the racial and gender makeup of leadership and coaching positions among the Football Bowl Subdivision membership showed it remains largely white and male. The reportreleased Wednesday by the Institute for the Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida said that 100 percent ofFBS conference commissioners, 76 percent of school president positions and 84 percent of all athletic director positions were held by white men at the beginning of the 201213 academic year. It also showed a decline in the percentage of women in campus leadership positions with a slight increase in the representation of people of color, especially for Latinos and Asians. Among the FBS' 120 institutions, there were 18 minority head coaches to begin the season, down from an all-time high of 19 last year. That total included 14 African-Americans, two Latinos and two Asians. "For me as somebody who has worked on college campus for 30-plus years it's especially discouraging that in terms of hiring practices are far behind the professional levels," said primary study author Richard Lapchick. "I would have hoped that colleges would have at least kept pace, but they are clearly behind in hiring practices." For the position of faculty athletics representative, 94.4 percent are white and 31.7 percent are women. According to 2011 data compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education, 6.3 percent of full-time faculty members are Asian, which is 1.2 percentage points less than the 2007 data reported in last year's study. African-American and Latino faculty members have grown by 1.6 and 0.6 percentage points respectively, to seven and 4.2 percent. Forty-seven percent are women. For coaches, the study'snumbers don'treflect the recent dismissals of Joker Phillips at Kentucky, and Jon Embree from the University of Colorado, who drew attention to the poor rehire rate for minority coaches. During his final news conference earlier this week, Embree hinted at a double standard for African-American hires after they are fired from ahead coaching job. Tyrone Willingham is th e only A f r icanAmerican coach to be hired for another head coaching job (by Washington in 2005) after

having been fired (by Notre Dame in 2004). "We don't get second chances," Embree said. "And that's OK, you know it going into it ... But every minority coach knows that going into it. Eventually that'll change." The numbers show that change is coming at a slow pace. Since 1982, there have been 546 head coaches hired in the FBS and 41 African-Americans since Willie Jeffries became the first at Wichita State in 1979. There have also been three Latino and two Asian/Pacific Islander head coaches hired in FBS history. "Our representation is not consistent on the court or on the playing fields," Black Coaches and Administrators executive director Floyd Keith said. "You have to look at the numbers." Keith noted that a pair of other AfricanAmerican coaches have been fired from FBS jobs and rehired, though not on the FBS level. "Turner Gill was fired at Kansas but ended

up at (Football Championship Subdivision) Liberty. We had Tony Samuel at New Mexico State and he ended up at Southeast Missouri State. With only 41 individuals hired in history, it's not a very good record," he said. "You have to say getting back in the cycle is difficult. So you have to make the most of your first chance." Keith also echoed the importance of getting more diversity at the leadership positions. "I think in total it's about college athletics," he said. "When you're making decisions, there was the old term 'Out of sight, out of mind.' If you aren't represented around the table, your concerns aren't heard. And that's at all levels." Both Keith and Lapchick continue to advocate for an "Eddie Robinson Rule," which like the NFL's Rooney Rule, would mandate that minorities are included in the interview process for open head coaching and key frontoffice positions.

fined, says kick not on

purpose By Larry Lage The Associated Press

ALLEN PARK, M i ch. Ndamukong Suh's reputation

for being a nasty player was born as an NFL rookie. Suh slammed two quarterbacks to the ground by grabbing their helmets two years ago, and his image became even more n o t orious l a st season when he infamously stomped on an opponent. Just when the D etroit L io n s defensive tackle s tarted t o i m prove his ability S uh

to play the game cleanly this season, he had a setback. But if you think he's contrite,

guess again. The NFL fined Suh $30,000 on Wednesday for u n n ecessary r o ughness b ecause he kicked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin area. The previous day, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league didn't suspend him because it couldn't reach a judgment on his intent. Schaub shouldn't hold his breath waiting to hear Suh say

he's sorry.

Backfields Continued from 01 The two-tailback system has flourished with 2 009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and 2011 Heisman finalist Trent Richardson, and both gained 700-plus yards as freshmen. Yeldon has already surpassed the first-season production of either of those two first-round NFL draft picks with 847 yards and 10 touchdowns. Saban saidthe system is especially effective if the backs present defenses with different styles, like Gurley and Marshall. "Todd is a l i ttle bit l ike our

guys in a way," he said. "He's big, physical, can run inside, can run outside. He'll make you miss, but has power. Their second guy is a very, very good back in all those regards, but he's a very fast guy. There's a change of pace there that the players have to be aware of

Gurley has been the most prolific of the bunch. He is second in the SEC with 1,138 yards while he and Lacy's 14 touchdowns are tied

for tops among running backs. Lacy has 1,001 yards. Georgia linebacker Christian Robinson said Yeldon and Gurley compare favorably.

"They both run really hard," Robinson said. "When I look at Todd I just see lower body. You know, people try to hit him high a lot of times, and he just keeps turning his legs and gets those extra yards and makes a lot of

people miss. "What I've seen of Yeldon, he has the speed to get around the edge. He turns up a lot on people that don't think he's as fast as he really is. You've got to hold the edge ofthe defense or else he's gone. I think Todd has speed as well. He's obviously looking a little bit faster. But I would say Todd's a little bit bigger and more of a bruiser." Georgia'sbacks have the clear advantageinone area: Nickname. No. 3 Gurley and No. 4 Marshall (720 yards, eight touchdowns) have been dubbed "Gurshall" after Herschel Walker, who led the Bulldogs to the 1980 national title as a freshman. Their numbers just happen to go together into his 34, and Walker has praised the two freshmen. "That's great, to have one of the best players to ever come through college football to say great things about me," Gurley said. "But I've got to keep

working." He is not into any comparisons

with the former superstar, either. "We're not trying to be like nobody else," Gurley said. "But it's a cool thing for the fans." Gurley is one touchdown away from matching Walker's 15 as a freshman. He and Marshall have already blown by the 1,739 yards and 14 combined touchdowns by Arkansas freshmen and future first-rounders Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in 2005. "Playing as a true freshman in the SEC, two guys, that's enough said right there — at the University of the Georgia," Alabama defensive end Damion Square said. "I know they've got some big-time guys there. For those guys to come in and play early and often, that makes them great. Those guys run hard. They're going to make you paywhen you make mistakes. Come in and tackling those guys, they'regoing to make a 2-yard gain a 7-yard gain. You've got to be really fundamentally sound when you're playing against those

guys."

Square passed on the question of which tailback tandem is the best. "I play for the University of Alabama. So ...." he said. M aybe Sa t u r day's gam e will provide a more conclusive answer.

" I wa s d r a gged t o t h e ground," Suh said. "A lot of things happen to me. "It's part of the game." Suh was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman when his left cleat hit Schaub below the belt in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday. "I just thought it was very Suh-like to give a little extension there at the end," Texans l inebacker Connor B a r w i n said. For the first time, Suh tried to explain what happened. "It's a crazy play, it's one that unfortunately happened," he said. "I didn't even realize it until the end of the game, when I see my Twitter feed, I see my friends telling me about it. Other than that, I can't do much more about it. I was being dragged to the ground and my foot inadvertently hit the man. "But it's over with and I am moving forward and getting ready to play the Colts." Detroit (4-7) will have Suh on the field when it hosts In-

dianapolis (7-4) because he dodged another suspension from the NFL. His reputation, though, has taken another hit. "Certainly th e p erception in the NFL is he's a very dirty player," B r own s o ff e nsive tackle Joe Thomas said. "The

perception among players is that he's not very well liked. T he perception among t h e fans is starting to be the same. "It's one thing to play hard and have physical hits in the

course of a game or be an ag-

Oregon Continued from 01 The Wildcats can wrap up the Big 12 title and earn the league's automatic BCS bowl berth with a win, or if No. 12 Oklahoma loses to TCU earlier in the day. Like Oregon, K ansas State was derailed in its quest for a national championship bid by a lone loss, to Baylor. On the same day, the Ducks got knocked out of the race themselves with a loss to Stanford. The BCS title game on Jan. 7 in Miami is expected to feature top-ranked andundefeated Notre Dame against the winner of the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday between Alabama and Georgia. Following Oregon's 48-24 victory over intrastate rival Oregon State last Saturday in the 116th Civil War, the Ducks (11-1, 8-1 Pac12) went into postseason limbo, where they await their fate. Players got the week off from practice, except for strength and conditioning work. Many of the coaches departed for recruiting trips. "Eleven and one's a pretty good record the last time I checked, no matter what happens," defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said following the Civil War win. While the Ducks finished with

just one conference loss, it was to Stanford, so the No. 8 Cardinal (10-2, 8-1) claimed the head-tohead matchup for a spot in the

The NFL suspended Suh for two games last season after he stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith in a nationally televised game on T hanksgiving Day. Suh said sorry to Dietrich-Smith personally for stepping on his right arm on purpose and has shown remorse publicly for what he did a year ago. "I think I'm always going to be punished some form or fashion for last Thanksgiving," Suh said. "I apologized for it and I will continue to apologize for it. It's something that happened, a mistake that I made. I'm living up to it and I'll continue to move past it. Some people may not, some people will and some people will teeter-totter back and forth depending on whatever the situation is." Suh has been fined in previous seasons for roughing up QBs: Cincinnati's Andy Dalton, Chicago's Jay Cutler and Cleveland's Jake Delhomme. He's easily cut the checks because he'll make $40 million guaranteed — with a chance to get paid as much as $68 million — in a five-year contract signed after Detroit drafted him No. 2 overall in 2010.

Thomas Breckenridge, 48 years later, recalled the menu on that Dec. 25, 1849. If a man ordered fish, he had a choice of baked white or boiled gray mule; the meats were mule steak, fried mule and so on. Under a heading titled Damned Mule, came mule on toast (without the toast) and short ribs of mule with

apple sauce (without the apple sauce). Relishes consisted of black mule, brown mule, yellow mule, bay mule, roan mule and tallow candles.

Solitude Contlnued from 01 Perin recommends parking at the hatchery and walking downstream to various fishing holes. The river is home to native rainbow trout, bull trout, kokanee and whitefish. According to Perin, the rainbows on the Metolius average about 14 to 15 inches long, while the bull trout average 6 to 7 pounds. Both species will be mostly located in deeper pools from now through the winter. "But you'll find a lot of rainbows in the back eddies yearround on the Metolius, and winter is no exception," Perin says. For those fishing for hefty bull trout, Perin suggests finding water that is about 8 or 9 feet deep, with logsorbouldersnearby. Streamers and nymphs tend to work well for catching bull trout on the Metolius throughout the winter. "Bull trout sometimes will go off the streamers a little bit and then get a little more into the nymphs," Perin says. "It's just really interesting that they do that, but it seems like in the wintertime, when things kind of slow down a little bit, you can start to catch a lot of bull trout again just by dead-drifting a little red nymph in front of them." Perin recommends nymph patternscalled "red ice cream cone" and "red lightning bug."

For dry-fly fishing on t he Metolius in the winter, a bluewing olive pattern usually works b est. Those hatch during t h e warmest part of the day, from noon to 3 p.m. A longtime Central Oregon fly fisherman, Perin probably has as much knowledge of the Metolius as anyone. But even he views

challenge. "I still consider one or two fish

a good day (on the Metolius)," Perin admits. "I'll look for rising fish. If I catch one or two, or three or four, that's a great day." The Metolius is so daunting to anglers because of the high water flows (more than 1,000 cubic feet

per second) and the low fish populations (estimates are at about 600 fish per mile) compared with other Central Oregon waters. For example,the Crooked River near Prineville boasts about 5 ,000 trout per mile, with flows often less than 100 cfs. "That's a big difference," Perin

says. But the Metolius is not necessarily any harder to fish in the late fall and winter than it is in the summer. For one thing, anglers have fewer bug hatches to identify. "In August or September, you might have seven or eight different hatches to decipher during the day, and three or four of those could be hatching all at the same time," Perin explains. "Trying to figure out what in the world the fish are eating can be a real challenge. In the wintertime there's usually one thing the fish are eating in terms of hatches, and so that makes it a little easier in that regard." But, Perin adds, hatches are less intense in the wintertime, so they may not bring as many fish to the water's surface as they would in the summertime. Yet no matter how good — or slow — the fishing, having a day to yourself on the Metolius in its second season can soothe any winter weariness, even on the dreariest of days. — Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmoricalCbendbulletirLcom.

Beadhead Partridge and Pheasant Tail,courtesy The Patient Angler. On warm winter and early spring afternoons, when a hatch could happen, but it hasn't started yet, you want to be ready with a subsurface pattern that can kick off the action early. The beadhead Partridge

and Pheasant Tail is a good choice for its color, flash and liveliness. Swing it or nymph it, this pattern combines the

proven profile of a mayfly

emerger with the fishiness of

peacock, the flash of brass and the suggestiveness of a partridge hackle.

Tie this pattern on aNo. 12-16 nymph hook. To start,

slide a brass bead upagainst the eye of the hook. Wrap the body with pheasant tail fibers

Federal regulators are preparing a civil fraud case against SAC Capital Advisors, the $14 billion hedge fund run by the billionaire investor Steven Cohen, according to a call that he held with the fund's investors

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration put a temporary stop to new federal contracts with British oil company BP on Wednesday, citing the company's "lack of business integrity" and crimifrom the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. The action by the Environmental Protection Administration bars BP and its affiliates from new government contracts for an indefinite period, but won't affect existing contracts. In a further blow to the company, BP will be disqualified from winning new leases to drill for oil or gas on taxpayer-owned land until the suspension is lifted. The federal government planned a sale Wednesday of more than 20 million acres of offshore land in the Gulf of Mexico. BP won't be eligible for that sale, the Interior Department said. An EPA official said BP was not informed about the suspension until Wednesday morning. See BP /E3

With an increase in both sales and foot traffic over the holiday weekend, local retailers say Black Friday and the shopping days that followed could signal a retail turnaround this season. "Overall, I think more people are shopping," said Noelle Fredland, marketing director of The Old Mill District in Bend. "There was a lot more hubbub and promotion around Black Friday this year, versus last year." Central Oregon shoppers had their pick of bargains to kick off their holiday spending spreeswith earlier opening times and multiple days of holiday specials. From the north to south end of Bend, stores had staggered openings starting Thursday night and continuing into Friday morning. But the sales continued through Monday with retailers

participating in both Small Business Sat-

urday — which encourages shopping at local, independent retailers — and Cyber Monday, the year's biggest day for online sales. "Black Friday is not just one day anymore," Fredland said. "They're starting it earlier, it's going later and it's incorporating Cyber Monday. You're definitely see-

ing the stretch." In the Old Mill, Fredland said eight stores opened at 2 a.m. Friday and one store, GameStop, opened at midnight. Last year, she said GameStop also opened at midnight, but only five stores had early openings, and those were at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. "Acrossthe board, the folks that were open at 2 a.m. did amazing business from 2-4 a.m.," she said. "One store had their second best day ever." Fredland saidshe received a report of people waiting in line three hours before doors were scheduled to open at Victoria's Secret. Because of the success, she said Victoria's Secret is planning on opening at midnight next year. Fredland said more stores in the Old Mill not only held Black Friday specials, but also participated in Cyber Monday.

PORTALES, N.M. — Farmers in a revered peanut-growing region along the New Mexico-Texas border should be celebrating one of the best harvests in recent memory. Instead, millions of pounds of their prized sweet Valencia peanuts sit in barns at a peanut butter plant shuttered for two months amid a salmonella outbreak that sickened 41 people in 20 states. Farmers are worried about getting paid for their peanuts, nearly a third of the plant's 150 workers have been laid off, and residents wonder what toll an increasingly contentious showdown between the nation's largest organic peanut butter plant and federal regulators could ultimately have on the region's economy. The tension boiled over when the Food and Drug Administration on Monday said it was suspending Sunland Inc.'s registration to operate because of repeated safety violations, meaning the plant will remain indefinitely shut down as the company appeals the decision.

This holiday season, the hottest trend among retailers isn't found on a store shelf. It's taking place at the cash register. Major retailers, from Best Buy to Toys R Us, are promising to match their competitors' prices. Generally customers just need to bring in an advertisement or printout to

prove that the same item is available elsewhere at a lower price. In some cases, shoppers can come

to customers all year round. But what's different now is that Best Buy and Target are matching online retailers such as Amazon.com for the first time. That's a big deal, since online prices tend to be lower than those at stores. Shoppers will be able to save some extra money, but they're going to have to read a lot of fine print to do so.

Costco to issuespecial dividend The Associated Press Costco will spend $3 billion to pay a special dividend of $7 per share next month ahead of higher tax rates that may kick in come January. Many companies aremaking special end-of-year dividend payments or m o v ing up their q u arterly p ayouts because investors will have to pay higher taxes on dividend income starting in 20D, unless Congress and President Barack Obama reach a compromise on taxes and government spending.

The Issaquah, Wash., company said Wednesday that the special dividend will be payable Dec. 18 to shareholders of record Dec. 10. In addition, Costco Wholesale Corp. will pay its regular quarterly dividend of 27.5 cents per share on Nov. 30 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 16.

5. Look beyond retailers You can also price match

depending on how you pay. EBay Inc.'s payment processer,PayPal, promises to match a lower price if you've already made a purchase using the service. That includes airline tickets. PayPal will match the prices of retailers that don't let customers use PayPal, however. Just fill out a form and upload a receipt when you find a lower price. PayPal will give you back up to $1,000 for all purchases made until Dec. 31. You should also ask your creditcard company to see if it offers price matching. It's rare, but there are a few cards that do. Citi just launched a program for its credit card holders. Called the Citi Price Rewind program, it promises to do the work for you. Register your purchases made on the Citi credit card online and it will send you a check for the difference if it finds a lower price from an online retailer. The program is aimed at pricier purchases: It will only issue a discount if the price difference is $25 or more. Citi will give you the amount up to $250 for each item, and up to $1,000 a year. Of course,

you're going to need to pay your credit card bill in full and not incur interest charges to truly make this a deal.

F ood safety expert a n d Cornell University professor Bob Gravani said given the number of salmonella outbreaks in recent years, he believes the FDA is being heavi ly scrutinized about w hy they are not using their rules m ore frequently o r m o r e

aggressively. Putting aside the "he-said, she-said" between the FDA and the company, he said, "I would say suspension is warranted in this case." This is not the first major outbreak since the FDA g ained authority to p ull a facility's registration in the 2 011 food safety law. A n outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe in 2011 is linked to at least 30 deaths and investigators found similar conditions at Jensen Farms in Colorado. Unlike Sunland, h owever, Jensen Farms did not attempt to restart operations after the recall and FDA investigation. The company later filed for bankruptcy. Baker said officials have been trying for the past two months to c ooperate with the FDA t o get t h e p lant reopened. "That hasn't worked," he said. "But we are not going to

give up. We are going to fight this. We have got no choice." He said officials have begun calling the state's senators and congressman and talking with other agricultural groups about getting help in Washington with an appeal of the FDA action. No hearing has yet b een scheduled. Coburn said about 30 percent of the plant's workers were laid off Monday. Although peanuts can be stored for a while, Coburn and Baker a c k nowledged that time is of the essence for getting to work on what Coburn said were "many, many millions" of pounds harvested from thisyear's crop. Farmers, Baker acknowledged, are w o rried about getting paid. But he said Sunland has committed to paying them for their crops. Under a w orst-case scenario, he said, Sunland could sell the p eanuts to o t h er producers.

• Visceral fat the fat stored around our organs weighs heavier on our health By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

ost people who are bothered by t h e ir body fat complain about the parts they

can see and grab. Think: love handles, muffin top. But that's not what they should be worrying about. Instead, they should be more worried about the fat that lies hidden inside the abdomen, surrounding the organs, called visceral fat. Visceralfatisfarmore dangerous to our

health than the stuff that jiggles under the arms or on the thighs. It has been linked to an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes,cardiovascular disease, some cancers and even early death. Those with too much visceral fat typically have a higher waist-to-hip ratio, more of an apple-shaped body. Visceralfatis sometimes referred to as belly fat, creating the infamous "beer belly," which generally has nothing to do w it h beer. Visceral belly fat is difficult to pinch and may appear as a distended, hard belly, and

perhaps accompanied by thin arms

and legs. Subcutaneous fat, on the other hand, is found between the muscles and the skin. It's what you see in the legs, hips and arms. It's not linked as severely to disease, especially in people of normal weight. It exists as an energy reserve and for insulation. A number of factors, some out of a person's control, play a role in who is more apt to accumulate visceral fat. There's no known treatment that targets visceral fat alone.

But there's one therapy that can't hurt to try: Research suggests that visceral fat may respond more quickly to exercise than its subcutaneous counterpart.

Visceral fat and health Obese adults with excess visceral fat had more riskfactors for Type 2 diabetes than those with m ore total body fat and subcutaneous fat, according to a recent study in the Journal of the A m erican Medical Association. See Fat/F6

technology and experience have allowed lower prices. Row says he can charge less because he has, over time, invested in technology that makes his practice more efficient, and because he's willing to sacrifice some profit. Row started doing dentistry in Hillsboro in 1999. Six years ago he opened an office in Madras. When he opened anoffice in Redmond in August, he advertised low kick-off deals, such as $599 for a ceramic crown and $475 for an anterior tooth root canal. The promotional deals will gradually wane until Jan. 1, when, for example,those prices will increase to $799 and $582 respectively which he says are still less than many dentists in the region charge.

Study gives thumbs up to snacking By Carolyn O'Neil The Atlanta JournalConstitution

Asthma drug boomeddespite risks and red flags

As the hectic holiday season kicks off and busy lifestyles become even busier, what's the role of snacking to keep your

energy up and your body weight down?

By John Fauber Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — The 2001 product launch of the asthma drug Advair was a lavish, Las Vegas affair. Using images of a slot machine, top GlaxoSmithKline executives took the stage in front of thousands of assembled sales reps. "There are people in this room who

are going to make an ungodly sum of money selling Advair," one executive told the group. He was right. Millions of people with asthma, including many children, have gone on the drug and Advair sales have ex-

ceeded $4billion every year since 2007. Yet medical studies, independent doctors and court records indicate the drug can be danger-

MEDICINE ous espe-

cially to children, and has been massively overused and often inappropriately prescribed. Advair and other drugs that contain long-acting beta-agonists have been linked to 1,900 asthma deaths from 2004 through 2011, according to an estimate by A dverseEvents Inc.,a private firm that analyzes incidents

reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The incident reporting system is voluntary, so the estimate likely is low. In a different analysis in

2008, an FDA researcher estimated the drugs contributed to 14,000 asthma deaths from 1994 through 2007. Advair, approved in 2000, is by far the biggest seller. A Journal Sentinel/ MedPage Today investigation found the growth in Advair sales followed new asthma treatment recommendations that were written largely by doctors who received money from GlaxoSmithKline and other companies that market the drugs. And the FDA sidestepped the concerns of some of its own doctors, who warned of the drugs' risks, especially

among children and AfricanAmericans, the investigation found. Those FDA doctors had urged that Advair and similar products not be prescribed to children and that other long-acting beta-agonists be taken off the market. The picture of how a potentially dangerous drug became commonly prescribed comes from a Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today review of transcripts of FDA hearings, financial disclosures, medical journal articles and a U.S. Department of Justice complaint against GlaxoSmithKline.

agood deal for states,

report says By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — States will receive more than $9 in federal money for every $1 they spend to cover low-income residents under President Barack Obama's health care law, according to a nonpartisan a n alysis r e leased Monday. E xpanding M e d icaid t o cover about 20 million more low-income people will cost over $1 t r i l l ion n a tionally from 2013 to 2022, said the j oint report f ro m t h e K a i ser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute. But the analysis found that states will pay just $76 billion of that, a combined share of roughly 7 percent. The feds will pay the other $952 billion. Republican governors have resisted the Medicaid expansion, saying it adds an unacceptable burden to a l ready strained budgets. And the Supreme Court handed the governors avictory this summer, ruling that states are free to reject the Medicaid deal. Medicaid is one of the two main ways that Obama's law expands coverage to m o st of the 50 million uninsured U.S. residents. As a broader Medicaid safety net picks up more low-income people, new health i n s urance m a r kets called exchanges will o f fer subsidized private coverage to the middle class. Both parts of the strategy take effect in 2014, at the same time that most Americans will be required to carry health insur-

Dr. James Caillouette discusses a hip replacement revision with Mary Anne Ramey at the Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine, Calif. The Institute offers bundled rates for knee and hip replacement surgeries.

Los Angeles Times

Carol and Ed Vogel enjoyed a weeklong all-expenses-paid trip to a Newport Beach, Calif., resort last month, and they're scheduled to return in a couple of weeks. The Nevada couple didn't need frequent-flier miles or creditcard rewards to getfree airfare and hotel stay as well as $1,000 in spending money. It was all because of Carol

Vogel's ailing hips and an employer's frustration with the high cost of U.S. health care. Her husband's employer, newspaper publisher Stephens Media, sends employees and their family members needing hip and knee replacements to a handful of hospitals across the country that agreed to a low,fixed rate forsurgery and scored well on quality of care.

Allan A Schaban Los Angeles Times

This year, grocery giant Kroger Co. has flown nearly two dozen workers to hospitals across the U.S. for hip, knee or spinalfusion surgeries in an effort to save money and improve care. Starting in January, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will offer employees and dependents heart, spine and transplant surgeries at no cost at six major hospital systems across the nation, with free travel and lodging. It's all part of a g rowing movement by employers fed up with wildly different price tags for routine operations. In response, businesses are showering workers with generous incentives — including waiving deductibles or handing out $2,500 bonuses — to steer them to these top-per-

forming providers offering bargain prices. Bundled deals are common for phone service, cable TV and travel. But an all-in-one price marks aradical departure for the conventional feefor-service medical industry in which doctors, hospitals, labs and other providers typically bill separately for each part of a procedure. Then they tack on even more if complications and unexpected costs arise. nYou expect to see the hotel, airfare and car bundled

The new analysis was unlikely to change the minds of state leaders who have already rejected the Medicaid expansion, but it may h elp shape the debate in a majority of states still on the fence. The choice will come into sharp focus earlynext year as state legislatures meet. "It's hard to conclude anything other than this is pretty attractive and should be pretty hard for states to walk away from," said John H o lahan, head of the Urban Institute's Health Policy Research Center and the main author of the study, which used computer models of population, income and insurance coverage.

In Newport Beach, "this was 100 percent paid for," Vogel said. If she stayed closer to home in Nevada, "I would have been out $8,000 or $9,000, easy, on my insurance." She saidshe's pain-free in her left hip for the first time in years, so she scheduled an implant for her right hip later this month, followed by a free stay at Island Hotel, an oceanfront resort in Newport Beach. "This is like the honeymoon we never had," she said. "Are you kidding me?" At Kroger, 21 patients have traveled for surgery this year, and none have experienced complications or been readmitted to the hospital, said Theresa Monti, a c ompany vice president for employee benefits. She said Kroger pays about $30,000 on average for those knee and hip replacement surgeries, 15 percent less than what it pays at other hospitals. "It's a new concept, and Vacation with surgery? some people have a hard time At Kroger, employees may getting their arms around the pay 10 percent out of pocket idea of traveling for surgery," if they choose one of the Monti said.

"We want to stop paying by the widget in health care." By bringing a steady stream of new patients, the arrangement can also be a good deal for the doctors and hospitals involved. Federal and state officials are catching on as well. Medicare and some Medicaid programs are pushing for more of these all-inclusive prices for the most common procedures, from surgeries to maternity care for low-income mothers, to eliminate some of the huge disparities in U.S. health care costs and reward high-quality providers with more patients. These programs are generally voluntary, so patients can still opt for care closer to home, although it may cost them more.

a lower fee. • The first is a CAD/CAM • unit, ( c omputer a i ded design, computer aided manu-

facturing). A laser camera on a wand sweeps through the patient's mouth, creating three-dimensional virtual impressions of teeth that appear on a computer screen. On the screen, I can design the veneers that improve the cosmetic look of teeth, or the crowns that fix durability and structural problems. Onlays and inlays are also done using the equipment. I can then send the picture to the mill, a machine in a differentroom here thatshapes a crown out of a chunk of lithium disilicate, a type of ceramic. This eliminates lab f ees. Many dental offices have to send off such designs to labs where veneers or crowns are created.Ihave my own lab and my own firing oven. It only costs me the price of the block of ceramic, which isabout $30. So I can cut $170 off the cost of a crown for patients. That gives me a lot of latitude in my fee schedule. I can still make some profit. It doesn't take too long to pay for the $100,000 CAD/CAM equipment, and I have years of investment into my equipment. I also custom stain my own crowns, instead of sending that work to another lab. I don't charge forshade adjustments because I can just do it in a few minutes. For all these things, we don'tpay a middleman, another place that has rent and staff and heating bills. The other piece of equipment I have is all paid off. It's a 3-D CT scanner, which is used when people need implants (an artificial root that holds in a replaced tooth or bridge). I bought it when I was working in Hillsboro. I took a leap and invested in this technology. Using the CT scanner, a 3-D rendering shows roots and bones from different angles, to diagnose problems that might not otherwise have shown up until you're well into a proce-

dure. It makes it faster for me and safer for the patient. You're eliminating any surprises. CT scans can cost $350, but I can charge less because my machine is already paid for. Right now, our implant consultations are free, and that comes with a scan. It gives people a reason to come to us.

Earlier effortsto persuade employers to send patients to India and other overseas destinations for cheaper care never took off. So BridgeHealth now has negotiated fixed rates with about 45 U.S. hospitals. Chip Burgett, an executive vice president at BridgeHealth, said employers still come out ahead financially, even after footing thousands of dollars in travel expenses. His firm has negotiated rates on knee and hip replacements as low as $19,000. Last year, for example, the California Public Employees' Retirement System l i mited what it would pay for knee and hip replacement surgeries to $30,000 because its hospital bills ranged from $15,000 to $110,000 with no discernible difference in quality. It found 45 hospital systems willing to stay within that amount, and its average price per surgery dropped 30 percent to $23,113. "There is a lot of excess margin in health care and plenty of room in the pricing of these hospitals," Burgett said."Hopefully, this drives true competition in health care, and it's not just based on how many helicopters a hospital has." Whileemployers areleading the way right now, experts say Medicare could have the biggest impact. Federal officials are looking to test these all-inone prices with hospitals. Some consumer advocates have raised concerns about

patients traveling long distances for surgery and taking them away from their regular doctors. Cindy Meyers, benefits manager for Stephens Media in Las Vegas, said it has been difficult in some cases to find local doctors to provide follow-up care for p atients who traveled elsewhere. But she said the overall experiencehas been positive for her company, which insures about 1,500 people across severalstates. "It's a great benefit for us cost-wise, and our employees feel comfort in knowing this doctor specializes in just what they need," Meyers said.

A potential game-changer James Caillouette, surgeon in chief at the 70-bed Hoag O rthopedic Institute i n I r vine, Calif., and an advocate for bundled payments since 2008, said not every patient is a suitable candidate for this arrangement. First, he requests their medical records and talks to the patient by phone. He rules out patients who may be at higher risk for complications from

surgery. Post-surgery complications matter not just for the patient but also to the doctors and hospital because they pose a risk for additional treatment costs. Hoag Orthopedic Institute's bundled fees for knee and hip replacement range from about $20,000 at an outpatient sur-

gery center to roughly $30,000 or more in the hospitaL The surgery l o cation d e pends largely on the patient's medical condition. C aillouette said h i s p a tients usually spend one or two nights in the hospital and then return to their hotel. A physical therapist visits them there most days, and Caillouette makes house calls to the hotel as well. Most patients fly home aftera week in Orange County. "Now there's one bill, and e mployers can b u dget f o r it," Caillouette said. "This h as the potential to b e a

"People were not replacing meals with snacks, and they were making healthy choices such as more fruit, yogurt, granola bars, nuts and seeds." Bottled water saw the biggest increase as the beverage paired with snacks. The survey identified "healthy snackers" as those who were in weight-loss programs, had healthy weights and whose food intake met the description of a healthy diet. More women and consumers older than age 50 fell into this group. By the way, the NPD survey found t h a t w o m en snack 70 times more than men during the year.

"Late-night snacking is the only snack occasion going down," she said, "and we're seeing more healthy planned snacks." A snack occasion is defined as the food eaten between the major three meals, and it's interesting to note that some folksare even eating a "before breakfast snack," which might be the coffee you grab on your way to dine out for breakfast. Fresh fruit is the most popular snack eaten between breakfast and lunch, according to the NPD survey, and 85 percent of households reported having fresh fruit on hand at home. Ideally, a snack should total about 150 calories if you're consuming a daily diet of 2,000 to 2,200 calories. It should be like a mini-meal with a balance of protein, whole grains and fruit or vegetable. That means it could be a carton of yogurt with granola on top with some berriesor a savory snack of whole-grain crackers, reduced-fat cheese and a

Most of us are probably a ware that eating fi sh which is low in saturated fat and high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and such nutrients as selenium and v itamins D and B2 — is an important part of a healthy diet. But it can be difficult to reconcile t h e k n o w ledge that eating fish helps prevent heart disease, stroke and cancer, reduces hypertension and aids brain development with reports about elevated mercury levels in tuna and swordfish, and with recalls of fish tainted with listeria, salmonella and other dangerous bacteria. And how to balance the experts wh o r e c ommend eating 8 ounces of seafood a week against those who raisehealth concerns about

the rapidly growing number of fish raised in aquaculture farms? "It's not something that's been ex h a ustively researched, but from the few studies out there on specific fish or incidents, we can put them together and get a picture that there is a possibly a real health risk to people if they are eating a lot of farmed seafood," says Meredith Moore,senior research and policy analyst for the

nonprofit advocacy group Food and Water Watch. Moore cites the heavy use of chemicals — i n cluding pesticides and antibiotic and antifungal drugs — in many aquaculture operations as a major concern. "There's a lot that gets dumped into these facilities in order to try to keep fish healthy in really crowded conditions ... and those chemicalsor residues can end up on or in the fish," she says. In addition t o p o tential health problems from direct exposure to s uc h t o x ins, Moore notes the documented rise of a n tibiotic-resistant bacteria in and around aquaculture facilities and in farmed seafood itself. "There still would have to be crossover from f ish p athogens to human pathogens," she notes. "But that's a real risk in the future." Several studies have also shown that farmed seafood contains higher levels of organic pollutants than wildcaught fish. These include dioxins, PCBs and metals such as mercury and lead, which have been associated with carcinogenic, reproductive and other developmental health issues. Researchers attribute that, at least in part, to the diets of captive fish. "A lot of formulatedfeeds used on farms are

Itchiness linked to neuroticism You know howseeing someonescratching an itch makesyou feel itchy, too? That's

perfectly normal, a new study says — especially for those who tend to be on the neurotic side. Research published

online recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sci-

ences offered evidence of the neurotic basis of contagious itch. In the

study, conducted by psychologists in Britain, 51 healthy adults

watched videos of people either scratching parts of their upper bod-

ies or merely tapping those areas with their

fingers. The participants reported whether they felt

an urge to scratchand, if so, how strong

it was — when viewing each video. The volun-

teers also were videotaped as they watched,

so the researchers could document how often they actually scratched

themselves. A big majority — 64 percent — scratched

themselves at least once while watching images of others scratching themselves. And while

participants scratched themselves during both

sets of videos, most of the scratching (59.5 percent, or 132 scratch-

es) took place while or just after people viewed a scratching video; 90

The test was negative, but she learned that the lab results were slightly abnormal and would be sent for further testing. All she could do was wait. From the start, health officials say, one of the challenges has been sorting out the danger signs from false alarms, particularly in this group of patients. Many started out with c h ronic h ealth p r oblems, and the lines between old and new symptoms may blur. "Headache is really com-

MINNEAPOLIS — Sarah Hackbarth knows this much is certain: On July 30, she was injected with one of the contaminated steroids that have killed 33 people. Since then,she has suffered many of the symptoms that she was warned about: headaches, nausea, numbness. But one thing she doesn't have is a diagnosis. Hackbarth, a 2 4 -year-old newlywed f ro m S h akopee, Minn., is one of hundreds — if not thousands — of people trapped in the gray zone of the national meningitis outbreak. Months a f t e r r e c eiving the contaminated injections, they're still trying to find out if they were infected by a potentially deadly fungus. Many, like Hackbarth, have tested negative for meningitis, yet are struggling with a cascade of u n explained s y mptoms. And in the absence of hard answers,they fear the worst. For patients such as Hackbarth, who were living with pain before this h appened, it has turned into an endless ordeal. "Any headache that you have, any mild fever that you have, it terrifies you," she said. "Nobody can give me a straight answer." Even the experts admit that they've been baffled by the

Sarah Hackbarth, with her husband, Jake,compiled a stack of medical records from pain treatments even before she received contaminated steroids. unfolding outbreak. Just last week, Minnesota reported its 13th confirmed case tied to the steroids — in a young woman who tested negative for meningitis. When doctors discovered that she had a bone infection instead, it was a reminder of what an elusive culprit they've been chasing. "This is all new to us," said Dr. Tom Chiller, a fungal disease expert with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Unfortunately, we're still learning as we go." Hackbarth andherhusband, Jake, were on their honeymoon when they learned that she might be in danger. They

were married Sept. 29 and had left for the North Shore of Lake Superior — oblivious to news reportsabout the emerging outbreak of meningitis, a dangerous inflammation of the brain or spinal cord, and its link to steroids from a Massachusetts production facility, the New England Compounding Center, or NECC. In early October, the state Department of Health started tracking down nearly 1,000 patients who h a d r e ceived the suspect steroid injections. Hackbarth was on their list. She received two steroid s hots, records show, f r om NECC — one in May and one

in July. The second one came from a contaminated lot that was making people sick all over the country. "It was just kind of a nightmare," she said. The caller from the Health Department who broke the news asked if she had any suspicious symptoms, such as headache and nausea, that could be a sign of meningitis. "I answered yes to most of those questions," Hackbarth said, but noted that some of them were not that unusual. Pain, in various forms, has been her constant companion. That's why she was getting the steroid shots, she said; to treat

chronic pain," said Dr. David Boulware, a specialist in fungal meningitis at the University of Minnesota. At the same time, he said, news reports about the outbreak probably have fed their anxiety, which "can make a lot of those symptoms worse." For now, health officials say those in the gray area may remain there for weeks to come. "I wish we could tell people 'you were evaluated, things look good, you can relax,'" said Dr. Ruth Lynfield, the Minnesota state epidemiologist. "We can't." She said they need to be on the alert for worsening symptoms, and to get them checked out. "We're obviously not out of the woods," said Chiller, of the CDC.

association with the tapping videos. This indicates that itching may

be more "socially contagious" than yawning (which 40 to 60 percent of people will do when

they see someoneelse yawn, other research has found) and laughing (47 percent), the study notes. MRI scans of participants' brains also

revealed that seeing someone scratch triggers activity in the parts of the brain that are activated when a person has an itch.

Alas, it is apparently not empathy that

makes us share the urge to scratch. It is neuroticism. People in the

study whose personality profiles included a high degree of that trait were more likely than less

neurotic participants to report feeling itchy when watching others scratch. — Jennifer LaRueHuget, Special to TheWashington Post

ommends adopting the timehonored B uddhist p r actice of "mindfulness meditation," which i n v olves c u ltivating mental techniques for stress reduction that are native to all of us but practiced by too few. He likened meditation to "learning to breatheunderwater, or finding sources of renewal within work itself." To achieve it, a person sits quietly, paying attention to one's breathing and whenever a distracting thought intrudes, turning one's attention back to the sensation of breathing. This can help calm the mind and prepare it for a clearer perspective. Kearney said this practice could help doctors "really pay attention and be tuned into their patients and what the patients are experiencing." "Patients, in turn," he said, "experience a d octor w ho's not just focused on a medical

agenda but who really listens to them." He said mindfulness meditation helps doctors become more self-aware, empathetic and patient-focused, and to m ake fewer medical errors. It enables doctors to notice what is going on within themselves and to consider rational options instead of just reacting. "It's like pressing an internal pause button," Kearney said. "The doctor is able to recognize he's being stressed, and it prevents him from invoking the survivaldefense mechanisms of fight ('Let's do another

course of chemotherapy'), flight ('There's nothing more I can do for you — I'll go get the chaplain') and freeze (the doctor

goes blank and does nothing)." Such reactions can be highly distressing to a dying patient. When a patient asks for the impossible, like "Promise me I'm not going to die," the mind-

I'll be back to see you later today and again tomorrow," Kearney said. A lthough K e arney d o e s mindfulness meditation for 30 minutes every morning, he said as little as eight to 10 minutes a day has been shown helpful to practicing physicians. In addition, doctors can factor moments of m e ditation into the course of the workday — say, while washing their hands, having a snack or coffee orpausing before entering the next patient room to focus on breathing. To deal with the emotional flood that can come after a traumatic event, he suggested taking a brief timeout or calling on a friend or colleague to go for a walk.
