More than 1,700 Central Oregonians could lose their unemployment insurance on Jan. 1.

A Bend family making $64,000 a year could see its income tax rate rise nearly 4 percent, while scores of tax breaks expire. The state of Oregon could

be hit with a 7 percent reduction in federal grants available for education and other social programs, while state programs like food stamp assistance and infant medical care

stand to face steep cuts. All of this is set to happen in the blink of an eye, with a push over the so-called "fiscal cliff." See Oregon /A4

WASHINGTON — As New Year's Day approached 150

years ago, all eyes were on President Abraham Lincoln in expectation of what he warned 100 days earlier would be coming — his final proclamation declaring all slaves in states rebelling against the Union to be "forever free." A tradition began Dec. 31, 1862, as many black churches held Watch Night services, awaiting word that Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation would take effect amid a bloody Civil War. Later, congregations listened as the president's historic words were read aloud. The proclamation would not end slavery outright and at the time couldn't be enforced by Lincoln in areas under Confederate control. But the president made clear from that day forward that his forces would be fighting to bring the Union back together without the institution of slavery. Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862, after the Battle of Antietam, announcing that if rebel states did not cease fighting and rejoin the Union by Jan. I, 1863, all slaves in rebellious states or parts of states would be declared free from that date forward. See Slavery/A8

By Hillary Borrud

Damefamily,

or nearly a year, volunteer James Newkirk has been walking the streets of Bend, marking the thousands of storm drains that empty into the aquifer and the Deschutes River. "I usually like to do one map a day, when I go out," said Newkirk, 71, and a resident of Bend for35 years.Ittakesa couple ofhours for Newkirk to walk the route on each city map and install all of the decals to mark storm drains in that area, he said. In good weather, he does this several days per week. Recently, city workers added up all of the storm drains Newkirk had marked: 1,800. That means Newkirk is responsible for more than half of the 2,900 city stormwater drains marked with decals that say: "Don't Pollute — Flows to Waterways." The feat surprised even Newkirk. "I had no idea I'd put down 1,800 of those things," he said recently. Of course, much work remains to be done. The cityhas more than 9,000 stormwater drains, Bend Stormwater Program Manager Wendy Edde wrote in an email. January will mark Newkirk's one-year anniversary as a volunteer for the city, said Bend volunteer coordinator Cheryl Howard, and the City Council recently recognized Newkirk for his hard work. Snow and freezing temperatures have prevented Newkirk from doing the work recently, and he usually spends part of the winter visiting his son and grandchildren in Southern California. See Newkirk/A7

blamegame By Greg Bishop New York Times News Service

CHICAGO — Before he died, Declan Sullivan wrote screenplays. He made short films, played trumpet, loved music and movies, studied business and, in his remaining free time at Notre Dame, videotaped football practice for the Fighting Irish. The screenplays seemed to tie it all together, to provide a creative outlet, a space for Sullivan's adventures. He called one "Clouds." It ends with the protagonist, a college student known simply as Sullivan Guy, chasing a cloud, into a stadium, to the top of the bleachers. A hand emerges. Guy reaches for it. "When the light subsides, the crowd sees a limp Guy free-falling," the script reads. "The crowd shrieks as he falls. A sickening thud is heard as he hits the ground, and the crowd goes silent." The script then cuts to a funeral, to women crying and men with blank faces and a priest. "We may never know what exactly was going through his mind during those last few moments," the priest says in the script. "But let us pray that during those moments this young man finally found peace." See Notre Dame/A6

Taliban may be softening Los Angeles Times Recent pronouncements by the Taliban have raised the possibility that the insurgents may be softening their stance on what a future without U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan might look like. At informal talks last week in France with Afghan government officials and members of thepoliticalopposition, Taliban representatives said the militant group wasn't looking to monopolize power and would be willing to govern with other factions. They also promised to grant rights to women and ethnic minorities, which they have violently repressed. But there is reason for caution. According to some local and Western accounts, the group is riven by internal power struggles. Preliminary contacts between the United States and the Taliban's political representatives in Qatar met with a backlash from the group's m ilitary c o m manders t h at helped scuttle that initiative. The Taliban cut of f c o ntacts with the United States in March. President Hamid Karzai's own efforts at establishing a channel with the Taliban have also foundered.

New York Times News Service

FURNACE CREEK, Calif. — For Death Valley, a place that embraces its extremes, this has long been an affront: As furnace-hot as it gets here, it could not lay claim to being the hottest place on Earth. That honor, as it were, has gone since 1922 to a city on the northwestern tip of Libya. Until now. After a yearlong investigation by a team of climate scientists, the World Meteorological Organization, the climate agency of the United Nations, announced this fall that it was throwing out a reading of 136.4 degrees claimed by the city of Al Aziziyah on Sept. 13, 1922. It made official what anyone who has soldiered through a Death Valley summer afternoon here could attest to. There is no place hotter in the world.

A D4-degree reading registered on July 10, 1913, at Greenland Ranch here is now the official world record. And while people were not quite jumping up and down at the honor, the D4-degree reading has inspired the kind of civic pride that for most c ommunities m i gh t c o m e with having a winning Little League baseball team. "For those of us who survive here in the summer, it was no surprise that it's the hottest place on the world," said Charlie Callaghan, a Death Valley National Park ranger who personally recorded a 129-degree day here a few years back. The opening wall panel in a new exhibition at the National Park Service visitor center off Highway 190 has been unveiled with a burst of superlatives: "Hottest. Driest. Lowest." (Lowest refers to a spot in Death V alley, Badwater Basin, which at 282 feet below sea level is the lowest place in North America.)

Death Valley are indeed the most harsh on earth." Still, the designation was a momentous event among this nation's community of climatologists — or, as some of them proudly refer to themselves, "weather geeks" — the climax of a long debate set off by a blog item written by Christopher Burt, a meteorologist with Weather Underground. Burt citednumerous reasons to be suspicious of the Libyan claim, which he described in an interview the other day as

"completely garbage."

Promotional leaflets th at still boast of Death Valley as being merely the hottest place in the U.S. are being rewritten, and resort owners say they are girdingfor a crush ofheatseeking visitors come next summer. There is even talk of having an official 100-year celebration of the record-setting measurement next July. "It's a bout time fo r s c i ence, but I think we all knew it was coming," said Randy Banis, the editor o f D e ath Valley.com, an online newsletter promoting the valley. "You don't u n derestimate Death Valley. Most of us enthusiasts are proud that the extremes that we have known about at

"The more we looked at it, the more obvious it appeared to be an error," he said. Burt brought his blog to the attention of members of the World Meteorological Organization. Randall Cerveny, a geology professor at Arizona State University who h olds the title rapporteur of climate extremes for the World Climate Organization, appointed a committee of 13 climatologists, including himself and Burt, to resolve what can often be tricky disputes. "There are a lot of places that do like these records," he said. "It can be a source of pride for that country or a source of contention for other

countries. Politics u n fortunately is going to play a role sometime in the determining of these records." It took a year to investigate the claim — the inquiry was hampered by the revolution in Libya, which resulted in the temporary disappearance of a Libyan scientist who was central to the work. The final report found fivereasons to disqualify the L i bya claim, including questionable instruments, an inexperienced observer who made the reading and the fact that the reading was anomalous for that region and in the context of other temperatures reported in Libya that day. "The WMO assessment is that the highest recorded surface temperature of56.7 de-

grees C (134 degrees F) was measured on 10 July 1913" in Death Valley, the report said. T he a nnouncement w a s made on Sept. 11, the same day as the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, and thus drew little notice.

FILISeaSOn: It'S early, and bad ~ ~EVENT . The Washington Post Flu season in the United States is having its earliest start in nearly a decade, and health officials say this season could be a bad one. Although flu is always unpredictable, the early nature of the cases and the predominant type circulating this year could make this a severe flu season, said officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But officials said the vaccine formulated for this year is well-matched to the strains of the virus seen so far and urged those who have not been vaccinated to get a flu shot. In early December, the CDC said it was noticing an uptick in flu activity about a month before authorities normally see it, and the earliest since the 200304 flu season. The primary strain this season is the H3N2,

an influenza A virus that has been associated in the past with more severe flu seasons, with more hospitalizations and deaths. Influenza often peaks in January, February o r e v en later. This year, it may have happened in December. Cases of flu have been reported in 29 states. As of Dec. 1 5, higher-than-normal r e ports of flulike illnesses had been reported in 1 2 states, most of them in the South and Southeast. But this flu season offers two bits of good news, as well. The flu strains spreading this year match well with this year's flu vaccine. And the Food and Drug Administration on Dec. 21 expanded the approved use of Tamiflu to treat children as young as 2 weeks old who have shown symptoms of flu.

Background The fiscal cliff is years in the making. Dozens of tax breaks considered as one-year relief have instead been extended for several years, like the payroll tax cut, alternative minimum t a x d e d uctions and business tax write-offs. Sweeping tax cuts in 2001 provided relief for A m ericans but added to the U.S. debt. President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats have sought in recent y ears to let part or al l o f those cuts lapse. But Republicans last year tapped into frustration over the country's ballooning debt, exacerbated by Obama's $800 billion stimulus package. A congressional battle last year over the national debt ceiling — the maximum amount the country can borrow — led to the creation of the fiscal cliff: program cuts and tax hikes thought so unappetizing that lawmakers would never let the c ombination b e come reality. But that's exactly what is on track to happen come

programs. But that doesn't mean Oregonians will feel the pain right away, said Tim Duy, senior director of the Oregon Economic Forum and University of Oregon economist. They may not feel them at all, if Congress reaches an agreement some time shortly after the new year. "Dec. 31 is not a drop-dead date," Duy said. If a deal is made a week or two after Jan. I, the higher tax rates would only affect middle-class Americans for that small period of time, so the total tax burden would hardly be felt, Duy said. "Most of these things can be dealt with retroactively within the first month, even a couple of months later," he said. "But an argument out there is the longer it takes to reach a resolution, the more business confidence in particular will suffer and maybe the pace of spending will slow."

Little guidancefrom opinion polls There's a reason neither side wants to give ground. Thetwo parties represent a divided and inconsistent America. True, Obama just won re-election. But voters also chose a Republican majority in the House.

Remember: Republicans andDemocrats alike saythey are doing what the voters back home want. But neither side has a clear

advantage in public opinion. In an Associated Press-GfK poll, 43 percent said they trust the Democrats more to manage the federal budget deficit and 40 percent preferred the Republicans. There's a similar split on who's more trusted with taxes.

About half of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy, the poll says, and about10 percent want tax increases all around.

Still, almost half say cutting government services, not raising taxes, should be themainfocus of lawmakers as they try to balance the budget. When asked about specific budget cuts being discussed in

Washington, few Americans express support for them. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, wants more temporary

economic "stimulus" spending to help speed up a sluggish recovery. Some lawmakers saythe nation can't afford it. — The Associated Press

Horses Continued from A1 "The average horse that walks in my clinic here doesn't get anything like that," said Dr. Kent Allen, chairman of both the veterinary and the drugs and medications committees of the U.S. Equestrian Federation, the sport's nonprofit gov-

erning body. "It gets a diagnosisand then gets a very specific, appropriate treatment." Since 2010, random drug tests at v a r ious equestrian events, including the Olympic trials, have uncovered dozens of violations for substances like cocaine, antipsychotics, tranquilizers and pain medication. While show-horse t r ainers have abused some of the same drugs that have caused problems in racing, the Equestrian Federation has lagged in regulating how they are administered. The group says it responds promptly to drug concerns, citing its decision in February to ban a popular but potentially lethal drug that sedates horses, making them more manageable during competition. The group has also limited the use of anti-inflammatory drugs in competition. It randomly tests 10,000 to 12,000 horses annually. "We constantly look at issues in our sport and try to be proactive," Allen said. Still, a review by The New York Times of federation records, police reports and interviews with v eterinarians and others in the sport shows that despite its best intentions, the federation is ill prepared to deal with episodes like Humble's death. At racetracks, only veterinarians are allowed to administer intravenous drugs, but on show grounds anyone can stick a needle into a horse beforeitperforms. The federation also has no detailed protocol on how to respond when a horse dies on show grounds. In H umble's case, there was no requirement that the vial and syringe be retained so its contents could be tested. And the federation relied on the mother of a competitor who saw Humble fall to collect evidence, hire a lawyer, and file a formal protest. The federation,often referred to b y t h e a c ronym USEF, convened a h e aring panel, but it had no subpoena power and could not compel Humble's trainer, Elizabeth Mandarino, to f ully answer questions about th e p ony's medical care, records show. The panel ultimately dismissed the protest, saying it did not have enough information to conclude whether Mandarino had violated federation rules. Mandarino declined to be interviewed. Her lawyer said in a statement that she had done nothing wrong, and that Humble had most likely died from an undiagnosed lung disease. Much of theconcern about drugs centers on hunter competitions, where young riders and future Olympians develop their skills. "This is only a ticking time bomb," said Julie Winkel, who runs a stable and has judged major shows nationally. "It's not only the wrong thing to do for the horses, but I think it's a very dangerous situation that we have createdfor the rider, handler, even grooms."

they were t i red o f g e tting beat by people using this substance," he said. "We were also hearingreports of horses falling down." To see how Carolina Gold affectedhorses,federation officials injected one with the substance. "The horse nearly collapsed," Schumacher said. "It starts shaking and was really out of it." The reaction was so worrisome that the attending veterinarian refused to test it on any more horses. The federation now knew the drug was dangerous, but there was a problem: it was undetectable in horses. Dr. Alex Emerson, a Kentucky veterinarian who blogs about horses,wrote this year that he had long worried about Carolina Gold's "narcoleptic" effect. "How can half-asleep horses jumping 3-foot wooden fences with a live human on theirback be considered safe?"

Heavy medication

Aweekbefore Devon, Kristen Williams took Katie, her daughter, to a Florida show to try out Royal T, the pony she planned to ride. Katie's friend Katie Ray had also traveled to Florida to try out her pony, Humble. Both ponies were owned and trained by Mandarino. Afterward, Williams said she was surprised that Mandarino's invoice listed $435 for unidentified "supplements." Katie Ray's mother, Carrie, had been billed $250 for u n identified supplements, records show. At Devon,thefollowingweek, Williams came across the list of 15 scheduled drug administrations. All the drugs were legal. Saying she was shocked to see the horse so heavily medicated, Williams snapped a p icture of the list with her cellphone. The following day, Humble collapsed and died after receiving another injection, this one not listed on the chart. Whentold of the list of drugs, Dr. Rick Arthur, chief veterinarian for the California Horse Racing Board, said, "The treatment seems intensive even by racetrack standards, but I am unfamiliar w it h s h ow-horse practices." Allen, who has extensive show-horse experience, said most vets h e k n e w c o u ld not imagine using all these drugs, " particularly l a r g e amounts of them in multiple combinations." " Does it b other m e t h at somebody injected a h o rse that close t o c o m petition? Yes, it does bother me," said the federation'sSchumacher. "We've got to find a way to enforce whatever we want to put in place to curb that behavior." The burden for investigating Humble's death fell largely to Williams who described herself as a relatively inexperienced "pony mom." "What if Humble had made it to the ring and collapsed with Katie on his back'?" Williams stated in her protest filing in June. "I am extremely concerned for the welfare of the animals and the innocent children that could potentially be victims." A post-mortem exam o f Humble found an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant, though not in excessive amounts, and no illegal drugs. In addition to emerging lung disease, the exam concluded that the pony could have died from "an overwhelming allerCalming the horses gic response to medications or More than blue ribbons and environmental triggers," but prestige are at stake in eques- said that was "speculative and trian c o mpetitions.

Notre Dame Continued from A1 Sullivan died on Oct. 27, 2010. He was 20, a junior in college. He died at a Notre Dame football practice, atop a 40-foot aerial lift that collapsed when winds gusted up to 53 mph. A crowd watched the fall, heard the thud, went silent. At the funeral, women cried and men stared blankly and the assembled prayed that in those final seconds Sullivan found peace. Immediately, Sullivan's death ballooned into a national story, the focus lingering on Notre Dame and its football program, which will face Alabama in the Bowl Championship Series title game on Jan. 7. The initial reaction: The athletic director was at practice that day and the new coach chose to conduct it outside, heads must roll and the Sullivan family was certain to pocket millions. Sullivan was largely forgotten in this coverage, his story the detritus of a tragedy teased through th e m o dern n ews grind. The reaction was playing out exactly as expected until the Sullivans made their feelings known in public. They did not have the moral outrage that others mustered for them. They acknowledged that Notre Dame had made mistakes, that his death could and should have been prevented. Yet the Sullivans cheered, for Notre Dame and for its football team, even louder than before. Their daughter, Gwyneth or Wyn, as she is called, continued to attend college there. Their other son, Macartan, known as Mac, recently submitted his application. The family will attend the national championship game in Miami, and it will do so in Sullivan's memory, for the same reasons the family created a memorial fund and partnered with a local charity: because this is howthe Sullivans choose to grieve, how they want their son to be remembered. "I remember when my wife was pregnant, and I had nine months to get used to this idea," said Barry Sullivan, his father, over lunch this month. "Then your first child is born, and you're not an expectant father, you're a f a ther. Everything changes. You know it's going to happen. But until you experience it ..." His voice trailed off.

The Sullivan family has not forgotten Notre Dame's support, like the "DS" on helmets, after quarterback Declan Sullivan was killed in 2010. In his honor, the family will attend the national title game.

university's president, the Rev. John Jenkins, composed an email to the larger Notre Dame family in which he wrote, "Declan Sullivan was entrusted to our care, and we failed to keep him safe." In a recent telephone interview, Jenkins said he felt it necessary to respond as a priest, with full candor, not as an administrator worried about a lawsuit. It helped that he trusted the Sullivans and shared their sadness. Their response, he said, inspired him and "helped us at Notre Dame with our healing." The media across the country expressed their cynicism. They wrote that Swarbrick, who attended practice the day Sullivan died, should be fired; that Kelly, who decided to practice outdoors that day, should resign. The university's investigation included more than 50 interviews wit h b y standers and experts and produced a reportofmore than 100 pages. Ultimately, it cited four main reasons for the crash: a sudden and extraordinary burst of wind; staff members' lack

of knowledge in regard to onfield wind speeds; the type of lift involved being more susceptible to tipping; and the height of the lift when the accident occurred. Few seemed to disagree that three of those factors fell under Notre Dame's control, that it should have been more aware, more educated,more safe. If the university's reaction did not appease its critics, it pleased the Sullivans, although Barry Sullivan insisted repeatedly that it bore no impact on the way the family handled things. The family, he said, did not want to impede the investigations with a lawsuit. Never even considered it. "We're just not those kind of people," he said. "That was the visceral, gut reaction. I want to stop anyone who suggests otherwise.Our response to the university didn't have a dollar sign attached to it. That's not part of this at all."

told him he should be angry. Not to his face, anyway. A few told him they were angry, at Kelly and Swarbrick and Notre Dame, at all of those they deemed responsible and the free pass they seemingly received. The worst of what he read was on t h e I n ternet: writers who spoke for his family having never met them, bloggers certain a settlement was involved. "I understand why they're angry," Barry Sullivan said. "Fine, be angry, get over it." He

is not angry. The Sullivans started the Declan Drumm Sullivan Memorial Fund, its slogan:"Honor One Life. Impact Hundreds." For J e n kins, S u l l ivan's death, and his f amily's response to it, proved no less than t r ansformative. T h ey "took loss and grief and transformed it into something else, s omething g e n erous a n d worthwhile," he said.

ated with helping the poor and downtrodden, but A m erican charities — 1.1 million organizations with $1.5 trillion in annual revenue — make up a large, rapidly growing economic sector that includes health care,higher education, scientific research, social services and the arts. There is incredible diversity among charities, from tiny neighborhood food banks to multi-state hospital chains boasting l a v is h c o n cierge services an d m i l l ion-dollar salaries for executives. In fact, hospitals are the largest component of the U.S. charitable sector, but they are more likely to be profitable than for-profit hospitals and aren't much more likely to serve the needy. It's also astonishingly easy to start a charity. The Internal Revenue Service a p proves more than 99.5 percent of charitable applications, often in very short order. Because of this, the sector includes more than a few organizations that may have l i ttle c onnection to common notions of doing good: the Sugar Bowl, the U.S. Golf Association, the Renegade Roller Derbyteam in Bend, and the All Colorado Beer Festival, just to name a few.

In 2007, Ascension Health, a large Midwest c harity hospital chain, r e ported reserves of $7.4 billion, more than twice the cash on hand at the Walt Disney Co. Some donors look for small charities,thinkingtheirgiftswill make a bigger difference. That's not necessarily an e ffective strategy. Many of the charities with track records in delivering results — organizations such as Youth Villages of Memphis and the Nature Conservancy — are also quite good at building financial reserves. Charities like these identify clear goals and have third parties evaluate their work, practi ces that are more important than how much they have in the bank.

Newkirk Continued from A1 Newkirk, who is retired, has also volunteeredfor a decade for the Deschutes Public Library system. Howard recruited him to volunteer for the city during one of Newkirk's trips to drop off library posters at City Hall. Newkirk also installed decals in downtown Bend that alert bicyclists that it is illegal to ride on the sidewalks. "We had that ordinance on the books for 40 years, but we never did anything until this y ear," Howard said. An i n crease in conflicts between pedestrians downtown and bicyclists riding on the sidewalks prompted the city to begin enforcingthe ordinance. H oward said Newkirk i s a motivated volunteer. "He's kind of a w orkhorse, so he just ... goes out and does this thing. He's just a machine." W hen Ho w a r d ask e d Newkirk to volunteer with the city, "he was very particular," Howard said. "He doesn't want to be indoors or anything, sitting behind a desk." On his walks, Newkirk also stumbled upon problems that he reported to the city. Construction companies sometimes stage their equipment in the street and debris from the projects ends up in storm drains. "He's spotted a couple

storm drains a couple times that were completely filled with fill dirt and stuff," Howard said. "That was important because if they'd gotten a major storm, the water would have backed up in the neighborhood." Without help from volunteers, the city would not be able to mark and maintain its storm drains, Howard said. The city budget has been tight since the real estate downturn, and Howard said the city had no program tomark the drains until volunteers got involved. The storm drain program also includes aneducationcomponent, in which Howard uses a diorama to demonstrate to school children how pesticides and other pollutants go into the storm drains and then into the aquifer and Deschutes River. Students and other groups, such as a Girl Scout troop, have also volunteered to mark storm drains, Howard said. "Chemicals that might be in the street, fertilizers on lawns, all those have the potential to affect our water quality," Howard said. "We have really good groundwater here currently, but in the long run, unless we start making some big shifts in how we treat our water ... we could have a big impact with our groundwater and pollutants we don't want to see." For Newkirk, the volunteer gig has a variety of benefits. "Before he bought his house,

he was just walking neighborhoods getting a feel for them," Howard said. Now, Newkirk said the volunteer job gives him an opportunity to observe how other people landscaped their yards and get ideas for how to spruce up his own yard. Newkirk lived in many places before settling in Bend in the 1970s. Newkirk was born outside De Kalb, Texas, where his family grew crops including tomatoes.He spent four years in the Marines, then had a varied career in manufacturing, salesand as a small business owner that led him to California, Colorado and Oregon. Among his many jobs, he owned an office supply store called Office Value in Bend. Before he retired, Newkirk was a truck driver, traveling through much of the United States. That ended more than a decade ago, after Newkirk was involved in an accident on a mountain pass in Southern California. He briefly moved away from Bend in the early 2000s, after he became fed up with the fast pace of growth in the city. However, Newkirk only lasted eight months in Silver City, N.M., before selling his home and returning to Bend. "Every city has its problems," Newkirk saicL "(Bend's) still a great place to live." — Reporter: 541-617-7829, hborrudC<bendbulleti n.com

He went on to say the military would recognize the freedom of slaves, that freed slaves should avoid violence and that freed slaves could enlist in the U.S. armed forces. It did not immediately free a single slave, though, because Lincoln didn't have thepower to enforce the declaration i n t h e C o nfederacy. Still, many slaves had already been freeing themselves, and the document gave them protection, said Reginald Washington, an archivist of African-American history at the National Archives. "It was a f i rst, important step in paving the way for the abolishment of slavery with the ratification of t h e 13th Amendment," he said. It also brought"a fundamental change in the character of the war," Washington said. "With the stroke of Lincoln's pen, a war t o p reserve the union hadovernight become a war of human liberation." The proclamation became

a symbol of hope for nearly 4 million slaves and a confirmation that the war should be fought to secure their freedom, said Washington, who is retiring from the Archives after nearly 40 years. Some historians and scholars have come to view to proclamation as one of the most important documents in U.S. history. The final proclamation has been rarely shown because it

In 1936, it was transferred to th e N a tional Archives. Records show it was displayed between 1947 and 1949 in a "Freedom Train" exhibit that traveled the country. Then it was shown briefly in January 1963 to mark the 100th anniversary of its signing. It wasn't until 1993 that the Emancipation P r oclamation has been shown more regularly to the public. In the past decade, it has been shown in 10 other museums and libraries nationwide for no m ore than three days at a time to limit its exposure to light. A 2011 exhibition at the Henry Ford Museum in D earborn, Mich., that was open around the clock drew lines amounting to eight-hour waits to see the document. Conservators rotate which of the five pages are shown to limit their light exposure. In Washington, they will display pages two and five, which is Lincoln's signature page. High-quality copies are shown in place of the other original

Maupin is all shook up he town o f M a upin, w hich straddles the Deschutes River 90 miles north of Bend and has a population of about 420, is usually a quiet place. But between December 2006 and November 2011, the hamlet was rocking. Literally. Maupin experienced 464 earthquakes in just under five years. That's almost two earthquakes a week. Typically, the region experiences two a year. Most of the tremors during this recent spell were small — fewer than 30 were felt by humans. Still, scientists took note. Seismographs had been placed around Maupin following anotherseriesofearthquakes in 1976. Now, scientists from Oregon State University have analyzed the data from those instruments and come up with a hypothesis for what caused the most recent swarm of quakes. They presented their findings earlier this month, at the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union. Jochen Braunmiller, a r e search associate at OSU, says the Maupin swarm was unusual. More typical is one major earthquake, followed by a seriesofsmaller ones.Th e March 2011 earthquake that triggered a massive tsunami in Japan, for example, had a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale. According to Braunmiller, that was followed by thousands of aftershocks. The next biggest quake had a magnitude of about 7.0. In Maupin, however, this recent swarm involved hundreds of tremors, almost all of which had magnitudes between 3 and 4. In fact, the largestquake occurred in July 2008, more than two years after the swarm

ormer en resl en earns ronze ar in anis an Bulletin staff report A former Bendresident earned a Bronze Star Medal in Afghanistan for "exceptionally meritorious service" that included more than 200mounted combat patrols through hostile territory. The first priority for U.S. Army Staff Sgt. David Albert Sr. upon his return next month is finding a civilian job, his wife, Angela Albert, said Friday. Albert returns home to Boise to his wife and their 6-year-old son, Orion. An-

other son, David Jr., 19, is also in the Army. The senior Albert graduated from Bend High in 1986 and served a threeyear stint in the Regular Army as a chemical warfare specialist, said his father, Donald Albert, also of Boise. Afterward, he signed up with the Army Reserve and became a drill instructor with 2/414th Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 95th Division at Gowen Field, Boise. A family friend, Larry Nonemaker of Bend, owner of Larry's RV, said Friday

he recalled David as a straight-shooter, "very dedicated to the things he set his mindto." "He looks at things and he can reason things out very quickly," Nonemaker said. "He's a person that's

a very in-charge type individual." The Alberts lived in Bend for seven years, Donald Albert said. His son still has friends in the city, his wife said. His wife and father said Albert was laid off several

years ago from his job as

salesman for Micron, a microprocessor maker in Boise; afterward, he made a living as a wedding and sports photographer before volunteering for duty in Afghanistan. Angela Albert said her husband saw active duty as a "good opportunity to make a wage for his family." Like many military families dealing with separation, she looks forward to a period ofreconnecting after her husband's 13-month absence. SeeBronze Star/B2

BRIEFING

Arson suspected at empty building Bend's police and fire departments responded to a suspected arson on Saturday morning at an empty building formerly used as a shelter for

women and children fleeing domestic vio-

lence. According to a press release,law enforcement received reports of smoke around 8:30 a.m. Saturday at1290 S.W. Silver Lake Blvd.

the former site of Lake Place. A preliminary investigation determined the fire had been intentionally started, and

firefighters spentabout six hours extinguishing the flames and collect-

ing evidence. Thestreet was closed between Southwest Garfield Av-

enue and Blakely Road for about six hours.

According to Sgt. Todd Fletcher, the build-

ing is currently unoccupied. An estimate

on damagewas not yet available, although Fletcher said most of

yye

the damagewas dueto smoke. An investigation into

the arson continues, and anyone with information is asked to contact Bend Police at 541-693-6911. — From staff reports

began. To begin to piece together what caused this curious activity, researchers first made calculations to pinpoint where each earthquake began. Using readings from multiple seismographs, they were able to triangulate not only the latitude and longitude of each epicenter, but also the depth. "What we observed is that, in a very small area about 10 miles deep, we all of a sudden have earthquake activity," Braunmiller says. "And we see that it doesn't stay in exactly the same position." The first earthquakes started south, the later ones farther north. The progression was about one meter a day, the rate that liquid would likely move. In other words, fluids — most likely water, or a grainy brine — bubbled up from evendeeper in the earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. An earthquake is caused by the shiftingof faults, orplates of the earth's crust. Braunmiller says that each fault has a certain physical threshold, and once it' s crossed,the ground moves. "If you keep the forces the same but add more fluids, all of a sudden the fault can rupture. It's like lubricating it," he said. In the case of the Maupin quakes, something else was happening, too. Braunmiller and his colleagues noticedthat more earthquakestookplace from March to May. Those months happen to coincide with the heaviest snow load in the nearby Cascades. The researchers posit that the extra weight pressed down, unclamping the fault and releasing more quakes. "The snow load is only modulating how much activity you have in a given time, so it's a secondary effect ... to the fluids below," he said. This aspect of the hypothesis didn't convince everyone at this month's conference. But Braunmiller said the scientists found GPS data showing the Cascades themselvesare about one centimeter shorter during the peak snowpack than during the rest of the year. "That supports our argument that the snow is enough weight to do the kind of earthquake modulation that we're proposing," he said. If thinking about earthquakes gets you all shook up, check out the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network: www. pnsn.org. There, you'll find a map and tally of earthquakes in Oregon and Washington during the last week and month. The next swarm could be closer to home: as of Friday, Newberry Crater had four earthquakes in the past week and 47 in the past month.

A beer perched on his stomach, Geoff Laird leaned back until he was nearly horizontal, peering out over hisnose as the Oregon State University Beavers and the University of Texas Longhorns lined up on the screen high above his head. The 35-year-old Corvallis resident and Oregon State alumnus got a late start in heading down to the McMenamin's Old St. Francis School Theater to see the Alamo Bowl, and as a result, he'd ended up in the front row in one of the worst seats in the house. "We were skiing all d ay," he said. "We were saying, 'We gotta get back, we gotta get out of here,' but it was so sunny and perfect." McMenamin's has opened its

Vigilante group runs off thieves in 1912 Compiled by Don Hoiness from archivedcopies ofThe Bulletin at the Des Chutes Historical Museum.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 29, 1912

Vigilante committee in Lake County gets busy Over in the homestead district in Lake County, the settlers have been pestered with thieves, and the other day a vigilante committee got busy. The result is that three suspects have been run out of the country. The men, Gilmore, Dewane

and Blaine by name, were given the choice of standing trial for theft or leaving the country. They chose the latter and came to Bend to take the train for more congenial climes. In the homestead country in the southeastern section of the county, there has been similar trouble and the settlers have declared that they will do as the Lake County homesteaders did unless the thieving stops.

New bank building is dedicated With nearly 500 people in attendance, the formal

opening of the new building of the First National Bank occurred Monday, the officers of the institution being hosts to the RDAV crowdofmenand women who all day and evening streamed through the handsome banking quarters, enjoying seeing them and hearing the excellent music of an orchestra that played afternoon and evening. "It's not only a credit to Bend but a credit to all Central Oregon." That was a sentimentexpressed by many when theyexamined the building, which is even more attractive inside than

it appears from without. Indeed, those who are familiar with bank homes throughout the state assert that in no town of 5,000 population in the Northwest is there a more beautiful or better equipped banking structure. The interior is decorated

in marble, mahogany and bronze with attractive rugs and furniture. The marble came from Vermont. The flooris of"terrago," a sort of stone-cement combination, resembling mosaic and such as is used in all modern metropolitan buildings. SeeYesterday/B3

AROUND THE STATE Eugene tranSit plan getS OK —Federal officials have given the green light to the Lane Transit District's effort to extend bus rapid

transit to west Eugene.Theagency announced last weekthat the By Mark Freeman (Medford) Mail tribune

C RATER LAK E — Th e

work can be long, the baggage heavy and sometimes his nose gets cold but, oh, what an office Dan Rubenson finds himself in three weekends each winter. The 59-year-old Ashlander trades his sport coat as a Southern Oregon University economicsprofessor for the red jacket of Crater Lake National Park's Ski Patrol and all the perks it af-

fords:free lodging in the park, more backwoods training than Bear Grylls can muster in his survival show and a few dozen interesting comrades-in-arms. And ultimately, this crosscountry skiing fanatic can't get

enough of lending a helping hand to those soaking in postcard views from atop skis on some of Oregon's deepest and cleanest snow. "Being able to ski the backcountry at Crater is a great experience," Rubenson says. "It's very enjoyable. And it's useful to help people find their way." The park's Ski Patrol is entering its 30th season and is ready to add more snow-lovers to its fold. The park is looking to beef up the patrol to 50 skilled volunteers who help National Park

Medford Mail Tribune file photo/The Associated Press

Ashland resident Andy Dungan enjoys a three-day tour around the Crater Rim in 2008 with fellow members of the Crater Lake Ski Patrol. Service employees with myriad duties at Oregon's only national park, taking o n e v erything from a n swering q u estions and marking trails to delicate backwoods rescue operations should the need occur. Members train regularly on all sorts of skills, and would-be members must complete two weekend training sessions to

qualify. Those who c omplete the training will be asked to sign

up for three weekends of patrol work during the ski season, which amounts to labors of loveforpatrolmembers such as John Fertig of Medford. A retired forester, the 63year-old Fertig is something of a cross-country junkie, a practitioner of the discipline of skiing with just your toes bound to the boards. Back-country telemark skiing is the main draw, with Fertig negotiating the park's roll-

ing terrain in sweeping turns invented in Norway 150 years ago. But visitors can find Fertig on groomed trails moving with traditional kick-glides in snowy grooves or even skate-skiing, as Olympic viewers are used to seeing. All are the disciplines of skiing with binders attached only at the toe. "If you can do it without your heel locked down to it," Fertig said. "The downside is that I'm not very good at any of it. But as the old saying goes, you don't get style points." But it's more than skiing that has kept Fertig on the patrol the past five years. He teaches patrollers back-country navigation, the seemingly lost art of finding your way with a map and a compass instead of a GPS with perhaps sketchy battery life. He enjoys his weekends at the park, whether it's helping those on the snow or sharing time in t h e b u nkhouse-like condo for the volunteers on their two-day stints. Time for skiing after retirement and a sense of wanting to give back to skiing drew Fertig to the Crater Ski PatroL "What bringsme back each year are the people," Fertig said.

Federal Transit Administration found no environmental roadblocks to the project. Transit district General Manager Ron Kilcoyne tells

the Register Guard that design work will begin immediately and construction should begin in18 to 24 months. The $90 million project includes dedicated bus lanes along much of the 4.4-mile route from

downtown to west Eugene.

Police seek dog that killed cow — Police insouthern Oregon hope to find the owner of adog that was involved in killing a steer two weeks ago. Phoenix patrol officer Adam Lewis responded to a call from a bystander. He tells the Medford Mail Tribune that he heard the

cow bellowing in pain andsawtwo pit pulls "eating it alive." Lewis says he fatally shot one of the dogs but the other got away, running into the city limits. The steer died a short time later. The officer says

he's concerned the dogwill kill another animal. Ananimal control enforcement supervisor says the dog's owner could becited for a violation of the dangerous dog ordinanceandfined up to $600.

Some newlaws starting in 2013 • Insurance plans will be required to pay for repair of cleft lips, cleft palates and similar birth defects if the procedures are

"medically necessary to restore function." • The Oregon Department of Transportation won't have to get permission from cities before chopping down trees.

• Drunken drivers who cause fatal accidents will have to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicle for five years after their driving privileges are restored. • Some jewelry dealers will have to keep more detailed records

of people selling gold, silver, platinum or palladium in hopesof helping police nabthieves. • School districts will be required to adopt policies designed to prevent teen dating violence. — The Associated Press

Counties fear probation influx if sentencing is reformed The Associated Press PENDLETON — Umatilla County officials say the governor's proposed prison reforms could send an influx of people to their probation system, and they want to be sure there is money tohelp them manage. Gov. John Kitzhaber has asked the Legislature to come u p with w ays t o s tem t h e growth of the prison popula-

tion. He hopes to keep the inmate population steady at about 14,600, the number projected to be in the system by the end of next summer. To get t here, Kitzhaber's Commission on Public Safety has proposed changes that would, among other things, increasethe use ofcounty parole and probation. If that happens, Umatilla

I think this is one way in which the Jewish people might be able to show gratitude for what the country has done in their behalf," said Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond, former commander of the imperial defense college in London.

County Community Corrections could be in a tight spot, director Mark Royal told the East Oregonian. The agency's staffing has dropped from 42 workers in 2007 to 27 now. The caseload has also fallen over that time period, but officials are not sure why. Kitzhaber has said he's committed to increasing the funding for community corrections,

Rep. Greg Smith, R-Heppner. If lawmakers agree the state should move more offenders from prison to communities, he said, the state should fund it. Rural counties should have a fair shot at competing for that money, and merely shifting the burden of offender supervision to the local level without enough money to do it right would not be fair.

FEATURED OBITUARY

Potter wrote

biography ofpajnter Anti-bullying club Pollock By Paul Vitello New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Jeffrey Potter was a n a spiring w r iter working as a building contractor in the Hamptons in 1949 whenhe developed a friendship with a gruff, taciturn neighbor who shared his passion for oversized machines like backhoes, bulldozers, dredgers and jacks big enough to lift a house from its foundations. The neighbor was Jackson Pollock, the avatar of abstract e xpressionist painting w h o was sometimes described by art critics as a painter of the unconscious, or th e s ubterranean. Pollock and his wife, the artist Lee Krasner, lived in the tiny Long Island village of Springs, near Potter's home in Amagansett, until Pollock died in a car crash in 1956. Potter, who was 94 when he diedof pneumonia on Dec. 15 in a Southampton hospital, told friends he had spent years trying to write a novel based on the life of his brilliant and mysteriously inco n solable friend, but never felt able to capture the multitudes Pollock contained. So the book he published instead in 1985, "To a Violent Grave: An Oral Biography of Jackson Pollock," was a collection of m a n y n a r ratives about Pollock: selections from hundreds oftaped interviews Potter conducted with f amily members, friends, former friends and fellow artists, all of them trying in some way to describe the charismatic formlessness that defined him. Potter'swas one of several biographies of Pollock published in the 1980s that served to revive interest in Pollock's work — and helped set off a scramble in Hollywood to make a movie about this colorful and sometimes violent master of modern art. Potter wrote other books, but "To a Violent Grave," which was his last, entangled him in an emotional and legal contest that lasted a decade. Soon after its release, a production company representing Barbra Streisand and Robert De Niro bought the film rights. When the authors of another biography, "Jackson Pollock: An American Saga," which won a Pulitzer Prize, signed a competing deal in 1990 with another film company, Potter accused them of having plagiarized his work. The authors, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, sued Potter over the accusation. DEATHS The dispute dragged on for years.

oo s o mariuana cu iva ion Washington dock resembles one inna iona oress o race found in Oregon By Joe Mozingo Los Angeles Times

By Jeff Barnard

WELDON, Calif. — A few minutes after 4 a.m., agents in camouflage cluster in a dusty field in Kern County, Calif. "Movement needs to be slow, deliberate and quiet," the team leader whispers. "Lock and load now." They check their ammunition and assault rifles, not exactly sure who they might meet in t h e d a rk : h eavily armed Mexican drug traffickers, or just poorly paid fieldworkers camping miserably in the brush. Twenty minutes later, after a lights-off drive for a mile, the agents climb out of two pickup trucks and sift into the high desert brush. T he granite faces of t h e Southern Sierra are washed in the light of a f ul l moon. Two spotters with night-vision scopes take positions on the ridge to monitor the marijuana grow, tucked deep in a cleft of the canyon. The rest of the agents hunker down in some sumac waiting for the call to move in. The action has to be preciselytimed with r a id s i n Ba k ersfield, w here they hope tocapture the leaders of the organization. Theyhave no ideahow many people are up here.

ages of men delivering supplies for more than a week. Maybe the growers have already harvested and cleared out. Word comes on the radio to go into the site. The agents fan out in the gray of dawn. A U.S. Forest Serviceagent unleashes a German shepherd and follows it up a pineyslope. After several minutes, the dog begins barking furiously. "We have m o v ement," shouts the Forest Service officer. "Hands up."

A negative side effect Such raids have become commonplace in C a lifornia, part of a c ostly, frustrating campaign to eradicate everbigger, more destructive marijuana farms and dismantle the shadowy groups that are creating them. Pot cultivated o n p u b lic lands surged in the last decade, a side effect of the medical cannabis boom. In 2001, several hundred thousand plants were seized in the state. By 2010, authorities pulled up a record 7.4 million plants, mostly on public land. L aw e n f o rcement l o n g called these grows on public land "cartel grows," and hoped to work from the busts in the forest up the drug hierarchy, maybe all the way to the Sinaloa Cartel or the Zetas. But after years of raids and work w it h i n f ormants and wiretaps, agents realize the operationsseemed to be run b y i ndependent groups o f Mexican nationals, often using undocumented f i eldworkers from their home regions. Tommy Lanier, director of the National Marijuana Initiative, part of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, saidthere was scant evidence that the cartels exerted much control over marijuana growing in national forests. "Based on our intelligence, which includes thousands of cellphone numbers and wiretaps, we haven't been able to connect anyone to a major cartel," he said. Lanier said authorities have long m i slabeled m arijuana grown on public land as "cartel grows" because Mexican nationals are arrested in the majority of cases, and the narrative of fighting drug cartels helps them secure federal funding. He doesn't rule out t h at some of the cash flowing south of the border makes its way to members of those groups. He just doesn't believe they are actively directing activities up here.

"Even at their most comfortable, the leaders never said, 'Hey, we're working for the Zetas.'" In Giorgi's jurisdiction, the majority of the people arrested or investigated are originally from the state of Michoacan, where marijuanagrowing and immigration to the U.S. are entrenched. In their hometowns, growers have to sell their marijuana to cartels for a fraction of what they could make in California. When they come north, they see opportunity in the state's vastwilderness.They have the know-how and perseverance to set up clandestine farms and live for months at a time in extremely rugged spots. Loncheros — lunchmen — often make w eekly supply runs i n t h e middle of the night, bringing food, beerand fertilizer. The workers wear camouflage, often sleepin the brush-covered tents, cook on propane stoves in crude kitchens and supplement their food by poaching deer and other wildlife. Giorgi says these organizations can still be well-financed, heavily armed and dangerous. Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman realized at a community meeting in 2010 how bad the situation was in the Mendocino National Forest when five of the eight people who went to the microphone said basically: "I was out in the national forest ... herding cows or sheep or hiking or fishing. And someone shot at me. So I'm not going into the national forest." The following summer, Allman helped lead a task force on a three-week purge of pot from the area. They pulled out 632,000 plants, 42 miles of irrigation line and 52 tons of garbage. Agents arrested 132 people and confiscated 38 guns. Is the forest safe today'? "I'll put it this way," Allman said. "I'd go camping in the National Forest, but I wouldn't let my sister go." Would he camp unarmed?

Votive candles and religious icons form a makshift shrine erected in an encampment occupied by marijuana growers near Kernville, Calif., one of many such plantations sprinkled throughout public lands across the state. Lanier said agents are mak-

would take part in the joint op-

ing progress. This season, they eration — at a cost of $35,000 have seized about 3 million plants, less than half the number of last year. But with such a shadowy enemy, success is hard to gauge. It's not clear if the numbers mean fewer plants are being grown on public land, or just fewer are being found. Since the state Campaign Against Marijuana Planting was disbanded last year, agents spend less time on aerial surveillance. And local sheriffs in pot-growing counties like Mendocino and Humboldt have far less resourcesdevoted toseeking out and eradicating plants than they had in the past. "It's hard to know if there's

hen The Hollands! — a t r aveling four-piece family band — drove their 40-foot-long bus into Sisters about 14 months ago, they intended on staying for just a few weeks before setting off on an endless journey. "We wanted to do Thanksgiving with the parents, and then we just figured that this is the new life," Craig Holland said in an interview on Christmas Eve. "We were going to go off and start touring."

A large U.S. governmentfunded experiment to encourage low-income parents to marry, a legacy of the George W. B u s h ad m i n istration's Healthy Marriage Initiative, has just fallen flat. Even if you were a skeptic all along of the wisdom of the government promoting marriage, as I was, this isn't good news. For the children of these unmarried couples, it is bad news: It portends years of unstable, complicated home lives. The apparent failure of marriage promotion makes the task of finding other ways to help them even more urgent. In 2005, Congress authorized $150 million a year for promoting healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood. The most visible project was a social experiment to help young, u n married c o uples who were expecting a child, or who had just had one, stay together and marry. The Administration for Children and Families engaged well-known and dedicated researchers and clinicians to design new "relationship skills" programs to i m prove communication, avoid conflict and build trust — an approach that had previously seemed to help middle-class couples remain together. With high hopes, it hired a leading research firm, Mathematica Policy Research, to recruit about 5,000 couples in eight sites across the nation. Half of the couples, chosen at random, were offered the program and some additional services, at an average cost of $11,000 a couple. The other half weren't offered the program and served as a control group. Both sets of couples were followed for three years.

story than changing values. When sociologists Pamela S mock, W e nd y M a n n i n g and Meredith Porter asked moderately educated young adults in Toledo, Ohio, what they needed in order to marry the partners they were living with, most pointed to financial issues. Leroy, 29 and recently unemployed, said, "I don't really know 'cause the love is there uh ... trust is there. Everything's t h er e e x c ept money." Without an i m p rovement in the labor market for young adults who don't have a college education, efforts to instill c o mmitment p r obably wouldn't be any more useful than t eaching r e l ationship skills turned out to be. The Administration for Children and Families is also supporting evaluations of programs that combine employment services with relationship services. Perhaps these p r ograms will be more effective at helping young adults whose fundamental problem is not values or communication but rather finding a dece n t-paying, steady job. Making a place for these young adults in a transformed economy may be our best hope of promoting stable relationships.

The animal used to live out back until he nearly escaped and Vitilio decided it wasn't safe to keep him.

to host 10 30-minute shows on falconry on the Outdoor Channel next year. T here was a f i g h t w i t h government of ficials w h en he wanted to bring in the Siberian lynx seven years ago. Vitilio even petitioned to have his propertydeclared a zoo to keep it. Ultimately, the matter was resolved and the wildcat, Puddy, lives in a chain-link enclosure among the ducks, peacocks and a dog. Vitilio says the cat considers him a parent and relishes their daily playtime. At the end of each session, the cat swats Vitilio on the head, a sight that can be shocking to some, although he considers it a sign of affection. Vitilio says he is never scared of his animals. "You get scared, you get hurt," he shrugged as he locks Puddy's gate.

Limo, photographer, hawk Sometimes Vitilio will r elease the birds at a wedding, wrap up with the bride and groom, get back in his car and head up Interstate 95 only to see his flock flying overhead, keeping pace as he drives 70 miles per hour. Often the birds swoop into their coop just as Vitilio pulls into his driveway. It's extremely rare, he says, that one of his birds doesn't make it home. They can find their way from more than 100 miles away. Throughout the late 1990s, demand for the birds was so

high that Vitilio brought on assistants who could cover a wedding with one set of birds while he took a different group elsewhere. He charged $400 per event, plus gas fees for locations outside a 25-mile radius, and his income ran in the sixfigures,he says. Requests came in from Pennsylvania and West Virginia, so Vitilio tried to recruit partners to set up similar businesses in those areas. But no one seemed to have the range of skills it required: The animal lovers willing to put in the long hours of care and training didn't sell the service well at bridal shows; sales professionals couldn't hack it with the birds. So he accepted as many bookings as he could and quit his other jobs. "By the second year I knew it was going to be huge," he said. "It would take over everything." And for a while it did. But after Sept. 11, 2001, busi-

"If you have a glove on and have a treat, it will be there in two seconds. And he's a small enough bird that he's not overpowering so he scares people," Vitilio said. "But he's cool enough that when it happens they're like, 'Whoa! '" Vitilio had already been using the bird at exhibitions and community events, so in 2009 he offered it for weddings. "And it just went crazy," he said. Vitilio worked up some theatrics around the hawk, having the best man pat down his pockets and look frantic when the wedding officiant asks for the rings. Then he'll slip on a leather glove and Vitilio will cue the hawk to fly from the back and land on the best man's arm with the rings atness dropped off precipitously. tached to a pouch.

I was surprised to hear that last summer, while the Town Council was struggling with a bankruptcy and settlement plan, many of the innkeepers a nd restaurateurs of M a m moth were doing pretty well, enjoying a l on g s eason of sales. Stuart Need, owner of the Lakanuki bar, said his summer income was up about 12 percent over the year before. John Urdi, executive director of Mammoth Lakes Tourism, reports that the town's hotel tax revenue from Junethrough September hit an all-time high this year, up 6.5 percent from the summer before. "The events were packed, and you couldn't find a place to park. It w a s great. And the same (about 13 percent) it was a long summer," said and continuing to pay for the George Shirk,news editor of free shuttle buses that carry the Mammoth Times.

than $180 a night.) Just about everylocal Italked to had something to add about how and why the last few years have beentough in Mammoth — the faltering national economy, the town's lawsuit liability (which stems from a broken promise to a developer about a irport-adjacent land) a n d , most of all, the fickle snow. In December 2010, on the way to a 6 6 1-inch season, the resort's ski patrol logged about 200 inches of s now. The total for December 2011: 2inches, onthe wayto a much-

space full of dangling round

at Toomey's on Minaret Road, a tiny, year-old place that specializes in catering and takeout and looks like the Kansas City Royals' dugout. (Owner-chef Matt Toomey is a big baseball fan.) Whether you order to go or sit among the handful of tables, Toomey's serves memorablebreakfasts,lunches and dinners, from coconut mascarpone pancakes to wild buffalo meatloaf. And as locals will tell you, Toomey is already a U.S. 395 celebrity, having wowed seriouseaters for more than a decade as the chef at the Whoa Nellie Deli in the Tioga Gas Mart in Lee Vining. After a few days of nosing around, I predict that after dark in Mammoth this season, hard-partying t w e ntysomethings will be watching snowboarding videos while doing shots amid the tiki-tinged tumult of the Lakanuki Bar in the Village, as they have for years. Locals will be spooning up hearty albondigas soup at Roberto's Cafe (on Old Mammoth Road), as they have for decades. In th e m o r ning, serious coffee consumers from near and far will queue at Black Velvet Coffee (opened this year on Main Street), a spare white space where baristas labor over their concoctions like post-docs solving DNA riddles. At least a few foodies will nip into Bleu Handcrafted Foods (which opened in July a few doors from Black Velvet Coffee) to gather artisan beers, wines, cheeses and meats for the larders of their rental condos. As is often the case in ski resorts, some ofthe worst bargains are found closest to the slopes: A slice of pizza at the M ammoth M o untain m a i n lodge's slope-adjacent Broadway Marketplace costs you $5.25, and a 16.9-ounce bottle of watercosts $4. (Four steps beyond the cash registers, savvy skiers and boarders get tap water in paper cups for free.) Then again, the lift line is right outside. Mammoth Lakes was born as a ski town in the 1950s, when Dave McCoy started the resort on U.S. Forest Service land on the slopes of 11,053foot Mammoth Mountain. The slope-side Mammoth Mountain Inn went up in 1959, and McCoy continued to build the resort and town before selling the resort to Starwood Capital Group in 2005. Nowadays the town's yearround population i s a b out 8,200, swelling to as many as 35,000 in winter. In town the ski area also owns the Village Lodge condo-hotel, the Juniper Springs condo-hotel and the rustic Tamarack Lodge, a haven for cross-country skiers that dates to 1924. I stayed anonymously in a p l easant o ne-bedroom condo at t h e Village Lodge, just above the shops and restaurants along the pedestrian paths of the V illage at M a m moth.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

From previous page M eanwhile, 20 miles north i n June Lake, this winter looks daunting, whether snow comes or not. With about 800 residents in a community surrounded by four scenic lakes, June gets many summer fishermen and families. But for decades its winters have been dominated by June Mountain, the ski area (on U.S. Forest Service land) that hasbeen owned by the Mammoth Mountain resort company since the 1980s.

In June, when Mammoth Mountain was struggling with the red ink from the previous low-snow winter, management decided to shut June Mountain for this winter, leaving the community's eateries and lodgings with plenty of gorgeous scenery but no tourism centerpiece. T he embattled community r esponded by creating a seriesof homespun special events, including a village-lighting ceremony Dec. 15, a February winter-sports triathlon and a March snowmobile rally (for

details, go to visitjune.com). Many in t h e c ommunity took comfort i n M a m moth M ountain management's vow (made in early November by Chief Executive Rusty Gregory) to reopen the June Mountain ski operation in the winter of 2013-14. But there's no denying a difficult winter is ahead. "Everyone's working together to make this winter as good as we can make it," Black said, but "there's a fine line between optimism and hallucination."

Hollands Continued from C1 All the while, they worked on preparing the vehicle for its ultimate purpose: To carry this family full-time as they drive around the country to meet people, connect w i th communities and play their melodic and globally flavored folk music for an ever-growing network of fans. Eleven months ago, they set out o n th e i r j o u r ney. More than 27,000miles and a two-month stay in Australia later, they're back in Central Oregon, and they'll perform tonight at McMenamins Old St. Francis School in Bend (see

"If you go").

To the stage, they'll bring a bond, both f a milial a n d m usical, tightened b y t h e time they've spent together and the experiences they've shared. "We've soaked in e v erywhere we've been: the personalities, the culture of the communities we've stayed in," Craig said. "It's had an effect on all of us." Jana calls the family's life-

style change "a paradigm

shift" and says it would be a challenge to return to a more stationary life. "It's funny how once you make that p a radigm shift, your brain really does say it's not even possible to really go back. I would have to relearn life again to go back," she said. "To have our eyes opened and to begin to see the fruit of a life that'sfor us more purposeful and more connected, it feels right."

In Bend, the bus is parked at the home of Josh Hart, the man in charge of th e Operation Elf Box charity. The Hollands have been assisting Hart's efforts since they arrived in early December. "Music's a part of our lives, but it doesn't define us," Craig said. "So the other ways that we can serve ... are just as important as playing the music." Jana concurs: "We're community builders. That's our heart. When you come to our concert, we're going to invite you to sing along. We're going to bring out instruments. It's just about sharing that moment of unity."

He called his life "fun" but said he likes "normal school" more than homeschool, "because in homeschool you have to stay with your parents the whole time." On the other hand, he's been known to turn a pile of parts into a flashlight with new buddies in Iowa. "It's like the icing on the cake when we're given the

Gay fathers in Israel, in real life and in sitcoms TV SPOTLIGHT "The New Normal" 9:30 p.rrL Tuesday,NBC By Brian Schaefer New York Times News Service

T EL AVIV, Israel — O n weeknights at the Gay Center here, a four-story building in the heart of the city, parking a stroller is about as hard as parking a car elsewhere in town, which is to say, nearly impossible. Th e t y k e-sized traffic jam is one indication of the gay baby boom that has taken place across Israel in the last several years. "A kid last week said to another kid, 'I have two moms,'" r ecalled Idan N e tzer, w h o oversees the c enter's p r eschool, which opened in November. "And the other kid said: 'So what? Daniel in my kindergarten has two moms, too.'"

It's been a big year for gay p arents in I s rael. I n M a y , a committee of th e H ealth Ministry recommended that

surrogacy be allowed for gay men. (Currently they can only travel abroad for that option.) A m onth l a ter, o rganizers of Tel Aviv Pride, one of the city's largest annual events, splashed images of two reallife gay fathers and their children on publicity materials and a banner next to Town Hall, making them the faces of the festivities. But th e s o cietal c hange

father accepted him when he first came out, it wasn't until he had a child that he really felt embraced. "I think it was easier for him to have a gay son with a g r andchild," he sa>d. Bernheimer pitched "Mom and Dads" in 2007, when he and his partner were in the process of having a child with a single female friend. The show, in large part, dramatizes their experiences. "It was th e e asiest sale ever," he said of th e pitch. Gay characters had appeared on Israeli TV by then, but not gay families. This was pre"Modern Family," so t h ere wasn't precedent. Tellingly, Israel skipped over the partyboy phase ( eQueer as Folk") and the professional bach-

As a newly married man, he may be feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of having three boys to raise and support — so he can't imagine having another child with you. Do not let the subject rest until you have the answers to all of your questions. If the reasons are financial, perhaps he'd be more open to the idea if the rest of the family is willing to chip in.

QUESTION:I have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and my gynecologist recommended a hysterectomy. Is

QUEsTIQN:My child sucks his thumb. I'm not sure

there an alternative treatment that can help control my

symptomsand avoid surgery? ANSWER: Fibroids are benign tumors in the uterus that often lead to symptoms such as bloating, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding or pain with sex. Fibroids are very sensitive to estrogen, although progesterone may also play a role in their development. Naturopathic Jocelyn Cooper, t r e atment goals for a patient with fibroids include ND supporting the liver to promote hormone detoxification and targeted supplement and botanical medicine to inhibit further fibroid growth. These goals are achieved by encouraging a diet that is low in saturated fat, sugar and processed foods. Fiber and cruciferous vegetables are a staple part of the treatment plan in order to encourage adequate estrogen metabolism. There are also many functional foods and herbs that have

phytoestrogenic activity. This means that they bind to estrogen receptors and block the body's own powerful estrogen from having an effect on the fibroid. Herbs like Chaste tree (Vitex agnus castus), Saw palmetto (serenoa repens) and Burdock root (Arctium lappa) along with foods like soy and flaxseed all may benefit a woman with uterine fibroids. Often, a comprehensive naturopathic treatment is able to decrease symptoms of uterine fibroids and patients are able to avoid common surgeries like a hysterectomy.

Sucking on the thumb can and will cause serious developmental growth problems of the face. The onset of these problems begin as soon as the thumb sucking starts but may not be revealed for years, although the damage is done. Prevention of the habit as soon as it starts is critical to avoiding the growth problems later. The use of a pacifier can be an option in preventing thumb sucking. It must be noted that you cannot use just any pacifier. An orthopedic pacifier such as "NUK" style is

preferred. Some pacifiers will have the same effect as a thumb. The results of thumb sucking can cause serious problems and have impacts that last far beyond the thumb sucking years. Thumb sucking will almost always have a negative impact on one's airway andcan even be linked to sleep apnea resulting in life threatening conditions later in life. I would recommend prevention of thumb sucking with the use of an approved pacifier.

Auswaru Have you ever heard the expression "use it or lose it"? Well, challenging one's balance falls into this category. As we age, get busy with work and family, and often become more sedentary, we

stop challenging our body's sophisticated ability to maintain balance on a variety of surfaces. For the following exercises, use safety precautions like using a chair, counter or wall to hold onto if necessary: 1. When putting on/off your socks, balance on the other foot instead of sitting down. Allison Suran, PT Founder

2. Practice balancing on one foot while brushing your teeth or shaving. 3. Play with walking on your toes, heels, insides and outsides of your

feet. (Think of a 6 year old). 4. Walk backwards somewhere: To the k i tchen, TV o r b a t h room, anywhere.

5. Walk barefoot more often. (Inside and outside). 6. When you are walking on uneven surfaces, learn to relax your shoulders and breath. 7. Most importantly: BE PLAYFUL.

If you are truly experiencing a balance deficit that could cause you to fall, there are many things your physical therapist can do to help you improve BEFORE suffering an injury.

QUESTION:.I am trying to lose weight, hardly eating anything, and exercising like crazy. Why can't I lose weight? ANSWER: Weight m anagement can be a tricky business, with problems due to many reasons. First would be to ensure that there is not any chronic disease or medical reasons such as Insultn resistance, thyrotd, adrenal or Kerie Raymond, sex hormone imbalance. Next would be a liver detox or metabolic cleanse. We tend to store our toxins in fat tissue and it is difficult to lose the fat until we lose the toxins. Then there are a few myths we need to bust. Metabolism is set and can be reset by a variety of mechanisms. If we "fast" by not eating, our metabolism slows deliberately to compensate for the lack of fuel. To lose weight we need to eat, especially a breakfast high in protein, low in sugars. Coffee is our enemy here also by stimulating insulin and cortisol. "The Weight Loss Cure" book re-popularized Dr. Simeon's HCG protocol which we utilize in our clinic along with other medically supervised weight management programs. We provide all hormone testing, programs and tools to get you started looking and feeling better.

QUEsTIQN: Why a colonoscopy?

cup size/implant size is right for me

AtvswER: Thanks for the great question. Thumb sucking is a developmentally harmful habit that is increasing in its prevalence. To understand why a child desires to suck his thumb requires some background in the developmental needs as well as the environmental impact.

The sucking reflex is initiated just prior to birth and serves as a mechanism to provide nutrition to the baby. Proponents of breast feeding believe that the suckling reflex is enhanced when the child isn't meeting their nutritional needs. Regardless of the reason, a child with an enhanced suckling reflex will commonly get satisfaction from a digit, most commonly the thumb.

No. 15 Beavers let Alamo Bowl win slip away • Texas uses a late rally to defeat OregonState, 31-27

Oregon State's Storm Woods (24) rushes for a touchdown against Texas during the first quarter of the Alamo Bowl on Saturday in San Antonio.

By Paul J. Weber The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — This season was a history-making turnaround for the No. 15 Oregon State Beavers. But in the final 10 minutes of it, everything turned on them. Oregon State began th e f o u rth quarter of the Alamo Bowl cruising toward its first 10-win season since 2006, but that opportunity unraveled when Texas quarterback David Ash shook off a rocky start to throw two latetouchdowns passes, carrying the Longhorns to a 31-27 comeback win Saturday night.

and silencing a typically raucous crowd — and likely stealing away the

No. 1 spot in the polls along with it.

The Beavers (9-4) entered the game already assured of a s chool-record turnaround after going 3-9 the year before. But after a sudden collapse — they had negative 4 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter — they're ending the season disappointed instead of celebrating. "It was definitely a game we let slip away," quarterback Cody Vaz said. "I don't take anything away from Texas, they are a great team, but I definitely feel we let this one slip out of our hands."

Bulletin staff report Hosting a competitive 12-team tournament is commendable, but to put together a perfect 3-0 record in that round-robin tourney is incredible, according to Summit coach Ryan Cruz. On Saturday afternoon, the Storm did just that. Behind a game-high 28 points by freshman Sarah Heinly, the Storm cruised by Portland's Wilson High 69-49 to cap off a perfect record at the Les Schwab Holiday Hoopfest at Summit High. The Storm defeated Liberty of Hillsboro on Thursday before knocking off North Medford on Friday. "This was the most consistent play we've had in every quarter, and you can see it by our (score

against a really good team. The other stuff, I didn't get all that excited about us winning 90,

Bloody and bruised by the end of the Les Schwab Holiday Hoopfest, Mountain View suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, falling 46-38 to Newport High of Bellevue, Wash., in a physical matchup in the event's cham-

pionship game. The Cougars raced out to an early 13-point lead before the Knights rallied to win the three-day tournament at Summit High, holding Mountain Viewto a season-low

13 field goals. The reigning Intermountain Hybrid champions led 18-5 at one point in the first quarter, but Newport ended the first half on a 20-4 run and held a 25-22 advantage at the break. "They came out and pushed it on defense," said Cougar post Erik Siefken, who ended thegame with six points and six rebounds. "That's the first team we've seen this season push that hard on defense." Mitch Modinpaced Mountain View (8-1) with 14 points and eight rebounds, but he was the only Cougar to score morethan seven points against the Seattle-area squad. Mountain View shot just 28.9 percent from the floor against the Knights and hit only two field goals in the second and third quarters combined. Despite not shooting well, the Cougars never were out of thegame and nearly forced overtime with a fourth-quarter comeback. See Mountain View/D5

Maneuvering gives TV aprime attraction for prime time • Tonight's Redskins-Cowboys showdown for the title in the NFCEast highlights the final day of the regular season By Judy Battista New Yorh Times News Service

Klkkan Randall skis at the Tour de Ski on Saturday.

The planning for the final day of the NFL's regular season began almost three weeks ago,when NBC lobbied the league to let it show the Dallas Cowboys' game against the New Orleans Saints last Sunday, instead of the Seattle-San Francisco game it was eventually awarded. Why did the NFL deny the request of

its premier television partner and decline to give it the guaranteed ratings bonanza of a Cowboys game? Because that would have given the Cowboys their season limit of prime-time appearances. And the scheduling department had already gotten a lucky break, when Dallas and Washington eked out last-minute victories in Week 14, keeping the New York Giants from running away with the

NFC East, and keeping tonight's Cowboys-Redskins matchup in the mix to be the 256th and final game of the regular season. So NBC got t h e b r eakout performance by the Seahawks instead. And the NFL, with a series of Rubik's Cube movements, got a final day in which 10 of 16 games have playoff implications — even though only two playoff slots are open — and which builds to the winand-you're-in showdown between the Redskins and the Cowboys for the NFC East title.

a umsen s azers as ers The Associated Press PORTLAND — From scoring to rebounding to passing to defense, Nicolas Batum did it all for the Portland Trail Blazers. Batum had 22 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, Damian Lillard added 20 points and the Blazers beat the Philadelphia 76ers 89-85 on Saturday night for their eighth straight victory at home. "He's doing what the team needs," Portland coach Terry Stotts said of Batum, "whether it's facilitating or scoring or rebounding." Batum also shut down Jrue Holiday, who led Philadelphia with 29 points but went one of five from the field after Batum was switched onto him defensively. Batum had already silenced Evan Turner (two of seven shooting for four points) when he asked Stotts to put him on Holiday in the fourth quarter. "I kept saying to Coach, 'Let me guard Jrue. He won't get those shots on me. He will not post me up,'" Batum said. Holiday also had nine assists and nine rebounds for the Sixers, who have lost eight of 10. Thaddeus Young, who added 17 points, was his only teammate to have a consistently good night. Portland led 84-76 late in the game, but Young made two big baskets, including a three-point play to cut the lead to three. Spencer Hawes and Dorell Wright missed 3-pointersfor the Sixers, however, and Batum hit three of four free throws to seal it. Portland was playing for the second consecutive night and was coming off a 104-78loss at the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sixers were also on a back-to back, having lost 96-89 to Golden State. "We have to have a game where we're the team that jumps on early and survives a coupleruns,"Hawes said."Ittakesmore energy to be on the bottom side of a run trying to come back than it does to hold it." Portland led by as many as nine in the first half and was ahead 49-44 at halftime but came out flat inthe third quarter, missing seven of its first 10 shots. Meanwhile, Holiday scored 13 points in the quarter to push the Sixers into the lead. He hit a 3pointer and then a jumper to put Philadelphia up 57-56. Batum picked up the slack for Portland. He made two free throws and two 3s to take thelead back for the Blazers, who went into the fourth quarter up 70-67. Portland then opened the fourth with a 70 run to take a 10-point advantage. "We haven't been a team that's come back in the fourth quarter yet this year," Sixers coach Doug Collins said. "I think we've won one game when we were behind after three quarters."

NFL

Continued from 01 Think you have trouble following all the playoff and seeding possibilities? The NFL spends months — and lots of bandwidth — early in the year constructing its regular-season s chedule, taking into account everything from team requests not to play in too much heat to baseball playoff games that could take up shared parking lots. But it has just one day — the last Sunday — to set the order of play for the final day of the regular season, so that the maximum number of teams take the field with something on the line, and the maximum number of viewers can see

,I:~ 87

By Tim Booth

(No.) 2 seed before they take the field — now for Chicago and the Giants, Minnesota

may end upplaying Green B ay's backups. What i f Minnesota clinches the wild card, they don't have to play their starters and Green

Bay may be playing for the 2 seed against backups." Got that? Several years ago, the NFL decided to make each game on the final day a division matchup, enhancing the chances that the games would have postseason implications. More recently, it started paying attention to theorder the games are played throughout S u nday, so that early games do not render later ones irrelevant. Last Sunday, it became obvious that the Cowboys-Redskins game was the only one the NFL could be sure would still be meaningful by 5 p.m. Pacific time, no matter what happened earlier. So it gave that game to NBC, ensuring that for the fourth time in five seasons, the very last game of the regular season would decide a division. "Fox wasn't thrilled, but we have constant dialogue with them," said Howard Katz, the league's senior vice president of broadcasting and media operations. "They let us know t hey'd like t o k e e p t h e Dallas game if at all possible. It could have been Green Bay going for the I seed, Minnesota having to win to get the 6 seed and Adrian Peterson going for the rushing record. But in the end, there were things that could have negated it all. We had to go with the sure thing." The NFL h a s s everal rules at its disposal that help Katz, North and the rest of the scheduling dep artment m a ssage t h e schedule so that the final Sunday contains intrigue. In addition to all games being between division opponents, neither CBS nor Fox is allowed to "protect" any games in the final week, making every one eligible to move to the single primetime slot. And the league waits until a week before to make the final decision on how to sequence the games, rather than the 12-day notice it gives for every other week. Still, the decisions are complex. The NFL considered moving the Giants'

game to I:25 p.m. (PST), but that would have meant moving theChicago game, too, to keep both meaningful. That would have left Fox with two meaningless games at 10 a.m. So the NFL kept the Giants and the Bearsgames at 10 a.m. In the AFC, the league considered leaving the Houston, New England, Denver and Baltimore games at the same time, with playoff seeding at stake — the Patriots can finish anywhere from the first to the fourth seed. Instead, the New England and Denver games were moved to the afternoon, because the Patriots will still be playing for the No. 2 seed even if Houston and Baltimore win early. The result: All the teams will be watching the scoreboard throughout the day, and so will all their fans.

he MVP, Coach of the Year and Comeback Player awards will be handed out by The AssociatedPress the night before the Super Bowl. On national television. Hosted by Alec Baldwin. The following aren't official awards in any manner. Norare some of them coveted.Nonetheless, some offbeat honors (and dishonors) for 2012:

Bestgame Redskins 31, Ravens 28, OT, Dec. 9 A scintillating back-and-forth game with lots of playoff implications. AFC North leader Baltimore built a 28-20 lead on Ray Rice's7-yard run with 4:52 remaining. Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III led his team downfield despite hurting his right knee, hitting Pierre Garcon for 22 yards. Griffin then was called for intentional grounding and could no longer continue. RG3 eventually limped to the sideline as another rookie, Kirk Cousins, replaced him. Bang — Cousins connects with Leonard Hankerson for 15 yards, then Garcon for an 11-yard TD with 36 seconds remaining. The untested QB ran in the 2-point conversion to tie it. Richard Crawford returned an OT punt 64 yards to set up Kai Forbath's 34-yard field goal for the win. Runner-up: San Francisco blew a 31-3 second-half lead at New England, then wakes up to beat the Patriots 41-34.

Worst game Browns 20, Steelers 14, Nov. 25 The Steelers turned it over eight times — yes eight — including five fumbles and three interceptionsfrom backup quarterback Charlie Batch, playing for injured starter Ben Roethlisberger and No. 2 QB Byron Leftwich. Yet the Browns were so inept that Pittsburgh still had a chance to win in the fourth quarter. Not surprisingly, Pittsburgh fumbled on the final play during a series of laterals. Runner-up:The Monday night mess when Tennessee outlasted the New York Jets 1410 as Mark Sanchez was responsible for five

giveaways.

Best play of the year Ravens 16, Chargers 13, OT, Nov. 25 Fourth-and-29, or fourth-and-hopeless in most cases. Not this one. Not against the San

Diego defense. Joe Flacco looked downfield hoping for a big play to keep the Ravens alive. Nothing doing, so he dumped the ball to Rice just past the line. At his swiveling best, Rice avoided three defenders at the 50, kept going around another handful of Chargers, then slammed into two defensive backs. The ball was spotted at the 33. After a long video review, it was moved back to the 34, but still was good for a first down. Officially, it was a 29-yard gain. Justin Tucker's 38-yard field goal tied it and he made a 38-yarder in overtime for the win. Runner-up: RG3 again, with his stunning 76-yard TD sprint against Minnesota that showed off his world-class speed as well as his moves and power.

Worst play of the year Seahawks 14, Packers 12, Sept. 24 The demise of the replacement officials. Do we really need to recount all the problems with this play and call, the last one made by the replacements before the NFL ended its lockout of the regular officials? Suffice it to say it will be celebrated in Seattle and slammed in Green Bay forever. Runner-up: Sanchez colliding w it h J e ts guard Brandon Moore's butt, knocking the QB down and sending the ball to the ground, where Steve Gregory grabbed it and went 32 yards for a Patriots touchdown in a Thanks-

giving night rout.

Biggest surprise(player) Adrian Peterson isn't just back from major leftknee surgery, he may be better than ever as he pursues 2,000 yards rushing and carries an outside shot at Eric Dickerson's singleseason record of 2,105 heading into the finale against Green Bay.

Patrick Semansky/The Associated Press

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins spikes the ball during the Redskins' overtime victory over Baltimore earlier this month in perhaps the most exciting game of the season. a playoff berth with a 10-5 record, it's stunning. And sensational, which the Indianapolis Colts' turnaround has been — especiallyconsidering coach Chuck Pagano began treatments for leukemia in late September and only returned this week. Indy was the lowest-ranked team in the AP Pro32 power rankings when the season began. Now, it is the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Biggest disappointment (player) Tim Tebow. This one is not his fault entirely, of course. Why, exactly, did the Jets trade for him'? One season after practically willing the Broncos into the playoffs, he was a headlinedrawing nonentity in New Jersey.

Biggest disappointment (team) Eagles. What a sad way the Andy Reid era is about to end in Philadelphia. With so much talent, such a strong recent history of success and, it appeared, a solid coaching staff, the Eagles looked like an NFC East power. Instead, they fell apart, with most of their alleged stars (Michael Vick, Nnadmi A somugha, Jason Babin, DeSean Jackson) disappearing.

Best coaching decision Pete Carroll picking t h ird-round rookie Russell Wilson as his quarterback over highpriced free-agent signee Matt Flynn.

Worst coaching decision Detroit's Jim Schwartz knew the rule, he said. Yet he threw his red flag to challenge a call that automatically would be reviewed, and came away red-faced. Schwartz negated the video review that almost certainly would have overturned the officials' call that Houston's Justin Forsett was not tackled on an 81-yard TD run. That score pulled the Texans within three points in the third quarter of what would be an overtime win.

Best free agent signing Peyton Manning, Denver.No need to say more.

Elaine Thompson /The Associated Press

Seattle Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch rushes against the San Francisco 49ers in last Sunday's win in Seattle.

Worst free agent signing Brandon Jacobs, San Francisco. Barely saw the field, had five carries, got suspended and publiclyexpressed his annoyance at the 49ers on Twitter.

Best play-by-play announcer (TV) Mike Tirico, hands down. No one is more prepared or understands the rules and game situations better than the ESPN lead man. Smooth, enlightening and not afraid to express an opinion. His call to finish the Jets-Titans game was a classic.

Best play-by-play announcer (radio) Kevin Harlan, who does the Monday night games nationally. His descriptions — unlike so many other radio voices who prefer to simply count down the yardages rather than explain what is happening — are an invaluable service to listeners. Harlan's announcing is almost as good as watching the games.

Redmondwrestling earns win at Washington tourney Bulletin staff report VANCOUVER, Wash. From start to finish, Redmond High led the 35-team field of the Pacific Coast Championships at Hudson's Bay High School, and on Saturday night, the Panthers celebrated what Redmond coach Kris Davis called one of the biggest tournament wins th e w r estling program has seen in some time. "We have mentally tough kids that are really ready to take that next step," Davis said. "We've got goals in mind that these kids have put forth at the beginning of the year, and they're wanting to prove themselves to other people. I think that's what they're doing right now." Highlighted b y B r a n don Short's second-place fi nish in the 126-pound bracket, the Panthers saw 10 wrestlers end up in the top eight of their respective weight classes, including fourth-place showings by

COLLEGE FOOTBALL:BOWL ROUNDUP

Continued from D1 Ash threw th e g o-ahead 3 6-yard t o uchdown s t r i k e to Marquise Goodwin with 2:24 left. The Longhorns (94) never led before Goodwin scored his second touchdown on that deep post pattern, just a down after Texas converted a fourth-and-I play to keep its chances alive. "I guess in every situation you have t o b e t h a nkful," said Ash, who was pulled in a loss to TCU a month ago and wasn't immediately selected t he starter fo r t h e A l a m o Bowl. "I learned a lot at TCU. It was a tough situation I was in. I was just really thankful I got another opportunity to

play a game I love." With Texas down 20-10 at halftime, Longhorns coach Mack Brown said he told his players they would win. "I told them that it wasn't going to be easy, but I told them this game was ours and we would win it," Brown said. "This one is really special." Storm Woods ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns for the Beavers. "Not to take anything away from Texas, that was a great team offensively and defensively," Woods said. "In the first half we had a great style of football. In the second half, Texas made s ome a d justments and I guess, they just wanted it more." The victory was a dose of much-needed good news for Texas after coming into the game under a cloud of questions following the suspensions of backup quarterback Case McCoy and injured linebacker Jordan Hicks. Ash, who has been pulled at times for McCoy this season, was 21 of 33 for 241 yards. Ash sputtered until the fourth quarter, when he went nine for 11 for 146 yards. Even if there were doubts about Ash before then, Texas had no choice but to stick with h im: the only backups were two r edshirt freshmen who haven't taken a snap all season. Brown announced the suspensions Friday but wouldn't reveal which p layers were s ent home. A p e rson w i t h knowledge of the suspensions told The A s sociated Press the players were McCoy and Hicks, speaking on condition of anonymity because Texas wasn't releasing the names. Brown addressed the sus-

The Beavers had negative 4 yards in the fourth quarter as they were muffled by the Longhorns defense that was led by Alex Okafor, who finished with 4'/2 sacks.

Ash made up for that off-target throw six plays later, slithering out of safety Anthony Watkins' near-certain sack and flinging the ball to Johnathan Gray, who then zipped down the sideline for a 15-yard scoring play that got the Longhorns to 27-24. The Longhorns played for a national championship in 2009. What's followed has been the shakiest of Brown's 15 years at Texas: a combined 22-16 record, an overhaul of assistant coaches and stubborn instability at quarterback following seven spoiled years with Heisman Trophy finalists Colt McCoy — the suspended player's brother — and Vince Young under center. A surge of four consecutive victories late this season put this nine-win season in reach — a benchmark that had been the ho-hum standard of the Brown era.

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — For all the talk about how Arizona State would handle Navy's triple-option offense, the real mismatch turned out to be when the Sun Devils had the ball. Taylor Kelly threw four touchdown passes and ran for afifth score and Arizona State scored touchdowns on its first nine possessions to win a bowl game for the first time inseven years, a 62-28 victory over the Midshipmen in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Saturday. "We couldn't stop them," linebacker Brye French said. "Everything that they would try, they just dominated us in basically every aspect of the game. It was very frustrating but you have to give them credit. They had a great game plan. They executed on everything. They had the deep ball, they had the run, they had the short pass. They had a great game plan and we just couldn't stop them." Offensive MV P M a r i on Grice ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns for the Sun Devils (8-5), who used their fast-pacedspread offense to

For Ducks,Fiestahasa familiar feel By Rob Moseiey The (Eugene) Register-Guard

SCOTTSDALE, A r iz. — When he was freshly arrived at Oregon in 2009, from his hometown of Hoover, Ala., Brian Jackson dealt with the culture shock by soaking up as many experiences as he could. Whether the Ducks were on the road during the regular season, or at a bowl site, Jackson took it all in. "I always tried to see the sights," Jackson said. Now a veteran, the junior safety is on his fourth straight Bowl Championship Series trip, preparing to face Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday. And he has learned to take a more judicious approach, now that he has a better sense of life on the West Coast. Thus, while Jackson is looking forward to a c ouple of social experiences this week — including a trip to all-youcan-eat Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao, where waiters roam the dining room with nearly 20 cuts of meat — he is not going overboard. Something of a homebody back in Eugene, Jackson wants to take the same approach to the bowl trip. "The only difference is I don't have school, so I have a little bit more free time," Jackson said. "But what I usually do (after practice in the morning) is go home, watch a little bit of TV to take a break, then watch film and go to meetings. I'm doing the same thing here that I do there. "We'll have a few events we do together as a team, but if I keep treating it the same way I do every other game — make my hotel room my new home these next couple days — that's how I cope with being at something like this." Such is the wisdom gained from making four consecutive BCS appearances, as Oregon has now done, joining

• When:Thursday, 5:30 p.m. • TV:ESPN just three other programs to have done so in the BCS era. But while there are several other veterans who were at the 2010 Rose Bowl, the 2011 BCS Championship and the 2012 Rose Bowl along with Jackson, there are also some younger Ducks experiencing the spoils of such a trip for the first time. Among those is senior offensive guard Kyle Long, a junior college transfer. He said he was "giddy" upon arriving in Arizona this week — a feeling that lasted all of about 10 minutes. "You kind o f s e t tle i n ," Long said. "This is my first bowl game, but for a lot of these guys, they're vets when it comes to this. You just try to look to the older guys, like Dion Jordan, Isaac Remington, look to see where they're going, what they're doing, and you follow suit." Like L o ng , q u a rterback Marcus Mariota f igures to make his first BCS appearance Thursday. Mariota made the trip to the Rose Bowl last season w h i l e r e d s hirting and said that experience was educational. But still, he found himself whooping it up at the team resort's pool the other day with fellow quarterbacks Jeff Lockie and D ustin H aines, something more veteran players might e schew, though without discouraging it from the younger guys. "They always tend to say, 'You've got to enjoy this, because sometimes it d oesn't come back around,'" Mariota said. "That's how I'm trying to handle it right now — when

relaxing and enjoying time with the guys, enjoying this experience." For someone like p unter J ackson Rice, wh o h a s a chance to join an elite club by starting his fourth BCS game Thursday, this trip simply is not the same as his first. Which he says could be a benefit. "It feels routine in a good way, in terms of how practice is going — we're all comfortable, nothing's really foreign, we're stayingin the same place," Rice said. "It doesn't necessarily feel like the first BCS game we were at, that first Rose Bowl or the BCS Championship — this is my fourth BCS game, which is rare to say — so not quite as electric a mood. But I like that. "We came here and it just feels like we're practicing for any othergame. We're not going to play any more or less; we always come out and do our best, so I definitely like the comfortwe feel." S enior l i n ebacker K i k o Alonso said that ability to approach every game the same way "is w hat separates us from other teams," and so, why change? To junior linebacker Boseko Lokombo, w it h e x p erience comes confidence, which he would like to see grow for the Ducks with a second straight BCS victory on Thursday. "When you win one, you want to win another one, and another one," Lokombo said. "You get into that comfort level where you want to keep winning. We're confident, and we know how we want to handle ourselves." W hich may mean, fora guy like Jackson, fewer social functions this week. Which is just fine, if it results in a victory. "We're out here trying to win a game," Jackson said. "Everybody has to treat it like work."

Turning biomass into bripuettes HM' Energy has a process to turn woody biomass into briquettes that can replace coal for electricity generation. Thirty percent of the biomass initially lost becomes heat that helps to dry

A recent breakthrough in a Gresham company's quest to turn woody biomass into coal-replacing briquettes to generate electricity has the

company seeking financing to build a production plant. But prospects for building the plant in Prineville as previously planned have dimmed, Hiroshi Morihara,

president and CEO of HM' Energy, said recently.

"(We would) like to build a

plant in Prineville," he said, "but if we can't get the money to do so, Prineville may not be the firs t." Morihara, who's planning on meeting with Oregon officials, has been negotiating with companies in Europe, Texas and Japan about building plants in those places, he said.

Oregon Departmentof Energy representatives last talked with HM' representatives about a year ago, but the company has not filed a formal application, which would trigger an evaluation of its technology, said Lisa Joyce, the department's communications and outreach manager.

Idled airports get a second life By Christine Negroni New Yorh Times News Service

By Rachael Rees The Bulletin

While the commercial development of national restaurant chains like Jack in the Box and public works projects such as Ridgeview High School sustained Redmond through the recession, recent growth in existing companies may indicate an economic turnaround is on the way, according to city officials. "Things are growing, and activity is at an all time high for us," said Jon Stark, manager for Redmond Economic Development, Inc., referring to post-recession activity. The current trend, he said, has local companies looking at howthey can expand by either buying new buildings or renovating current locations, adding new equipment and

While the city's industrial vacancy rate was at 28 percent, compared with Bend's 11 percent, at the end of the third quarter, according to data from Compass Commercial Real Estate Services, activity is starting to pick up again. Redmond companies like Pape Kenworth, CR Fabrication and Key Technology are moving into new locations within Redmond and more than doubling their facility sizes, and two businesses from other parts of Central Oregon are migrating into the city for expansions. See Redmond /E3

DENVER — When excavators digging on the land that was formerly Denver's Stapleton Airport unearthed an old Cessna, JW. Duff, the 86-year-old owner of J.W. Duff Aircraft Co. was not surprised. "Lots of planes" were disposed of by burial when the airport was still in operation, Duff said. Finding something unexpected is just one of the many challenges of turning idled airports into something else.

Stapleton's journey from in-town airport to one of the city's newest planned residential communities began more than a decade ago when it was replaced by Denver International Airport, which was built 12 miles out of town in the middle of a vast prairie with no residential neighbors to be bothered by its noise.

Employees work at the current Smith Brothers Pushrods, on Layton Avenue, in Bend. By next week, the company hopes to start operations out of its new Redmond location.

Airports Continued from E1 But over the last decade the mixed-use community that has been developed there and one like it in Austin, Texas, are seen as examples of how problematic properties can be successfullyconverted. And these developments are being closely watched, as growing demand for air travel puts pressure on other urban airports with little space to grow. "Airport repurposing is a rare event driven by unique local c i rcumstances," said Chris Oswald, vice president for safety and regulatory affairs for A i r p orts Council International. In Malmo, Sweden, the Bulltofta Airport built in 1923 was used forcommercial passenger service until the 1970s, w hen Sturup A i r port w a s built and the Bulltofta site was turned into a shopping and entertainment complex. Hong Kong's downtown Kai Tak, made obsolete in 1998 with the opening of the new Hong Kong International Airport, will soon be turned into a cruise ship port, stadium and residential community. With the development less than halfway c omplete at Stapleton, 4,000 residences have been sold and 13,000 people now call the community home. The common thread for all these projects, Oswald said, is the availability of an alternative airport with g reater capability. "The availability of such sites isvery rare,and the combined political and financial will to make use of them is even rarer," he said. The land developers behind the Denver and Austin projects agree. For all the unique problems with turning highly specialized industrial property into a place people can call home, they could not have succeeded without cooperation from a multitude of entities, including politicians, bureaucrats and residents. "It's very important to have

Iberdrola's wind farm near Rosamond, Calif., with 126 turbines, opened last week. The company said it was "extremely optimistic" that its 19-turbine farm in M o nroe and Florida, Mass., and a 24turbine farm in Groton, N.H., would be up and running by Monday night, but declined to say precisely when. Iberdrola did not disclose the price of each wind farm, but the industry average is about $2 million per megawatt, meaning that the three projects may have cost a total of more than $500 million. Wind advocates say they will seek to revive the tax credit when a new Congress convenes next month, but it will not be at the top of Con-

The start-and-stop pattern of recent years has repeatedly affected companies up and down the chain, especially the highly specialized ones that make towers, blades and generators. Robert Thresher, a wind expert at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in Golden, Colo., said manufacturers were "trying to run down their inventory so they wouldn't be caught holding turbines" after the market collapsed in January. A study commissioned by the wind industry predicts the loss of 37,000 jobs as a result of the credit's expiration.

HM' Continued from E1 But when the Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Center awarded HM' an $86,000 grant in August, David Kenney, its president and executive director said in a n ew s r elease,"If HM' Energy is successful in its goals, it will have created a truly transformational technology addressing a m ajor

HM' hasdeveloped technology to create biomass briquettes, shown here, that utilities could burn in plants along with coal.

global energy challenge." The money w a s a m ong nearly $900,000 in grants and awards HM' has received in its four-year effort to create biomass briquettes that utilities could burn in power plants along with, or as a replacement for, coal. Woody biomass would be cleaner-burning than coal and produce much less carbon dioxide, a primary greenhouse gas. Finding a market for it would also create jobs, generally in more rural areas, to gather the slash, brush and small trees t hrough f orest t hinning. That w o ul d a l s o improve forest health and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. H M' ha s c reated a w a y to take waste wood, send it through a h e ating p r ocess and pound ou t b r i quettes, Morihara said. Unlike other types of woody biomass, the briquettes repel water, so they can be transported and stored in the open, just like coal. They have a c omparable heating value to coal and can burn along with coal, or on their own, in existing power plants w i t h ou t e x p ensive equipment retooling. The company recentlydemonstrated it could ramp up production to a c ommercial scale, Morihara said. HM' has plans to build a plant i n P r i n eville, w h i ch would be close to the national forests that could supply the raw material. Potential sites have been identified, he said. Crook County would also be relatively close to P ortland General Electric's Boardman power plant, which must stop burning coal by 2020. But plant construction and startup will cost about $16 million, Morihara predicts, and he's not optimistic about find-

ing investors in Oregon. "People in O r egon d on't understand the accomplishment," he said. Morihara said Crook County may havesome money, and funding could come from a

U.S. immigration program that grants green-card status to foreign investors who invest between $500,000 and $1 million in U.S. companies that create jobs. But he said that program would only fund possibly 50 percent of the construction. "If t h e y w o r k t o g ether, there's a possibility," he said. The state's Energy Loan Program also may be of some help, said Joyce of the Energy Department. However, a state biomass producer and c ollector tax credit approved in March likely would not, said Phil Chang, p rogram c o o r dinator fo r Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and biomass expert. It provides breaks to companies that collect the material from the woods, not generate electricity. Coal, which generated 42 percent of the electricity in the U.S. last year, remains outra-

geously cheap unless you consider the costs to society for burning it. If the government told utilities they could no longer burn coal, Chang said, d emand for HM' briquettes would increase dramatically, and the company would be able to get funding. "As long as we continue to treat coal with k i d g loves," he said, "... there's not going to be any reason to look for fuel that's (environmentally) cleaner." — Reporter: 541-383-0360, tdoran@bendbulletin.com

The Baltimore Sun

Deatrice Besong says it feels like winning the lottery: Her mortgage servicer r ecently agreed to reduce her loan by $249,000 next year, saving her $300 a month and erasing the debt overhang that has her owing far more than her house is worth. "It's a great feeling — it's a feeling of relief," said Besong, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Md. Her p r i ncipal r e d uction comes courtesy of the national mortgage settlement, a deal struck by state attorneys general, the federal government and the country's five largest loan servicers after allegations of widespread servicing and foreclosuremisdeeds. The companies are legally obligated to provide $25 billion in aid, including forgiven debt, and much improved customer service. But 10 months after t h e newly announced settlement was hailed as a major step in reforming a broken system, the reviews from homeowners and housing advocates are mixed. Some say the results are not what they'd hoped. Much of the aid given relates to deals — such as short sales — in w h ich f o rgiven debt orother assistance came with the requirement to move out. And some consumer advocates say homeowners are still having t rouble getting help they appear to qualify for. "It should be a basic thing to have one or two people who are responsive to a consumer and can keep track of their documents," said M arceline White, e x ecutive d i r ector of the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition. "The fact that this isn't working yet is problematic, to say the least, and really contradictory to the intention of the settlement." Maryland Attorney General

Some homeowners struggling with their loan payments or unable to refinance into today's low rates could be eligible for help from

the national mortgage settlement. Also eligible are some who lost their homes to foreclosure between 2008 and 2011.

The aid applies only to loans owned orserviced by Bankof America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup or Ally

Applicants wh o r e ceived a claim form can file online at ww w. n ationalmortgage settlementclaim.com/. Those who think they're eligible and haven't received a form should call the settlement administrator at 866-430-8358. Besong, the Upper M arlboro resident, lives in a part of the state where the housing bust and foreclosure crisis hit residents — and home values — particularly hard. But because she had two loan modifications after divorce reduced her household income, she said,she couldn't persuade the customer-service representative assigned to her earlier this year that she was eligible for settlement aid. After several months of trying, she wrote a letter of complaint to her servicer. A new representativewas assigned. A few weeks later, she had her approval letter in hand. Now she's trying to get the word out to other homeowners: Apply for the help before the money's gone. "This worked for me," she said. "If it worked for me, it could work for you."

If even brief cranking or noises are heard, the wiggled switch is likely the problem. Your starter relay lives in a very convenient, accessible location within the under-hood fusebox, a 5-inch square plastic black box with a knob-attached lid, under the hood on the leftupper side. Try removing the cover and feeling the relay — a I-inch square black cube, centered in the box — as a helper successfully cranks the engine. You'll feel a click. Now you know what to check for next time the Blazer fails to crank. Now we'll close in for a solution: If during a no-crank episode the headlights do not dim and the relay clicks as the key is tried, the fault almost has to be within the starter.

Auto start-stop f eatures usually irk me. The engine shuts off at each stop and restarts as you lift your foot from the brake. Truly, it is seamless and not that bothersome. But if that momentary hesitation bugs you, there's a solution: Keep it on sport mode and you can override the feature. The automatic, by the way, actually helps achieve better mileage than the manual, compiling 22 mpg city, 32 highway on the 2.7-liter (using the auto-stop feature). The manual gets 20 mpg city,

His friend recommends replacing the oil pump to prevent the motor from failing. Have you heard of this problem? Should I have the oil pump replaced? • I find no information in • my Alldata automotive database regarding potential oil pump failures in the 3-liter V-6 engine. This engine has been a very durable workhorse for Ford for several decades. The only way an oilpump could "fail without warning" would be if the drive shaft or impeller suddenly broke or if the oil pump pickup tube fell out and dropped into the oil pan. In addition, I didn't find a n updated oil pump f r om Ford for this engine, so unless you installed an aftermarket pump you'd be installing the same pump you're worried about. From a cost point of view, replacing the oil pump would be roughly $500 in parts and labor, more than I'd be willing to spend in terms of preventive maintenance.

How giving became cool

t was 15 years ago that Ted Turner needed something interesting to say in a speech — and decided, in a rush, to give away $1 billion. "Iwas on my wayto New Yorkto make the speech," Turner recalled to me. "I just thought, what am I going to say?" So, in front of a stunned dinner audience, he announced a $1 billion gift to U.N. causes such as fighting

t(f1 .i

global poverty. In nominal terms, before adjusting for inflation, that semiaccidental donation was, at the time, believed to be the biggest single gift ever made, and it has helped transform philanthropy. Tycoons usedtocompete fortheir place on the Forbes and Fortune lists of wealthiest people. If they did give back, it was often late in life and involved museums or the aits. They spent far more philanthropic dollars on oil paintings of women than on improving the lives of real women. Turner's gift helped change that culture, revivingthe tradition of greatphilanthropists Iike Rockefeller and Carnegie. Turner publicly began needling other billionaires — including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett — to be more generous.. "It's a starting point for me of this modern era ofhigh-profile big public giving," reflected Matthew Bishop, co-author of "Philanthrocapitalism," a terrific book about how the business world is reshaping philanthropy. cHe called on others to step up, which did have a crystallizing effect on others. It allowed journalists and others who were talking to Bill Gates to say: 'Why aren'tyou giving more?' " Ultimately, Gates and Buffett made huge contributions that are transforming the struggle against global disease and poverty. My hunch is that Gates will be remembered less for his work on personal computers than for his accomplishments against maIaria, AIDS and poverty itseIf. Gates and Buffett are both now recruiters for the Giving Pledge, which commits zillionaires to give away at Ieast half their wealth. Turner channeled his money through the United Nations Foundation, where it was leveraged to get other contributions so as to bring $2 billion to finance causes from maIaria to polio, from chmate change t0 family planning. The gift brought new respect to the United Nations and made it increasingly fashionable for billionaires to worry about global poverty. All this has helped shine a greater spotlight on neglected issueswh'ich, in turn, has led to extraordinary results. A study this month reported that infant mortality around the world dropped by more than half from 1990 to 2010. That's millions of lives saved each year. Of course, not everybody has gotten the memo. Take Donald Trump, who has contributed his name to a foundation but little rnore. An investigation by The Smoking Gun website described him as possibly "the least charitable billionaire in the United States," for he apparently gave the foundation just $3.7 million — over 20 years. Trump, who has said he is worth $7 billion, is not even the largest contributor to his own foundation. Turner isn't shy about encouragingothers to jump on board. When I asked ifhehad any advice for my readers, he grew particularly animated:"You don'thave to have any money tomake a difference; ou can pick up trash walking down the street, and I do that all the time," he said. "You can volunteer your tiine. You can be a big brother or a big sister." Look, it makes me a little squeamish to extol a billionaire, for our society already has too much worship of the wealthy — and, in any case, the working poor in America aie often more generous in percentage terms (and in volunteering) than those far better off. That said, it warms my heart that a mogul donated $1 billion to enliven a speech, didn't even put his name on the foundation and then let the money quietly save lives around the world. If you're still reading, Donald Trump, it's your move. — Nicholas Kristof isa columnist for The New Yorh Times.

Plan for future infrastructure he City of Bend has done an inquest of sorts to figure out why it has only $20 million in reserves to resolve what was estimated to be a $174 million sewer problem. The answer is: The city didn't plan properly for it. That's a simplistic answer. It's not easy to predict what will be needed or what help the federal government might provide. But as the city figures out its plan to fix its sewers and meet its water needs, it should also develop a plan to save money for the future. More than once this past year, councilors have bemoaned the fact that previous councils effectively stuck this one with coming up with solutions. "The timing is atrocious because we're talking about a very large waterproject and a very large sewer project and very large road projects," City Councilor Mark Capell said recently. "If they'd been done over the last 25 years incre-

mentally, maybe we wouldn't have this problem." This council has moved to find an answer to Bend's water needs. Solutions for sewer are being worked on. But councilors should also ask city staff to come up with options so 20 years or 30 years from now, when Bend may need another major sewer or water project, a future city council doesn't try to face them so empty-handed. The city and other groups have done some planning. There have already been discussions about how to build up money for the future dredging of Mirror Pond, if needed. The city's sewer advisory committee has discussed whether the city should consider future needs when making rate calculations. But unless the council takes this issue of reserves for the future as seriously as it has solving the water or sewer issue, future councilors and future residents may get

criminals, but only add burden to law-abiding citizens. James Strelchun Bend

The solution to the tragedy in Newtown is not more gun control laws, which many anti-gun zealots advocate. The existing Connecticut state gun laws, among the toughest in the nation, already had prevented the killer from purchasing a weapon to use for his crime. He proceeded to steal and use firearms that were legally purchased. No existing or new laws could have prevented this crime from occurring. Currently, anyone intent on inflicting harm in a school knows that they will not encounter any armed opposition, since all schools are considered "gun-free" venues. Further, any facility that posts a "gun-free" sign is simultaneously posting an invitation to all criminals to commit their crime on those premises without any fear of armed opposition. What could have preventedthe Newtown carnage would have been an armed teacher, aide or principal, who could have acted immediately to stop the killer, well before any outside responders would have arrived. Since training is essential, there is even a national, firearmstraining institute (Front Sight) that offers a free,four-day course to teachers, educators and administrators, so that cost is not an obstacle. Then, properly trained staff can become the "firstresponders" before outside help ever arrives. Let's take the logically correct action that will truly protect our children, rather than creating more useless, politically driven laws that do not deter

Too soon?No, too late Is ittoo soon to act? No, it's too late. At least for all of the victims who have been injured or killed by gun violence in the absence of adequate, enforceable gun laws. The Bulletin editorial titled, "Don't jump to conclusions or legislation," suggests we resist the "impulse to rush into action in the wake of a tragedy like the one in Newtown, Conn." Specifically, the editorial states we wait "until authorities and the public have a much more clear understanding of what actually occurred during Friday's tragedy." However, this misses the point. Any legislation introduced now should not be tailored in response to this singular event, but in response to the thousands of victims of gun violence throughout the United States each year, including other mass killings. Having said that, we already know enough about the Newtown tragedy to make some conclusions. The visceral response to this tragedy should be embraced, as it may be a catalyst for overdue change. Voice your opinions and call for action now. Please don't wait until it's too late again. Staci Plumleigh Bend

Don't sell public lands

Bishop, R-Utah, and Steve Pearce, R-N.M., quietly floated an idea that they claim would help pay down the deficit, but which would severely damage our Westerneconomy and our way of life: selling off our public lands to the highest bidder. Among the many flaws of this proposal is the fact that our public lands area serious economic driver here in the West, spurring faster job growth and higher per capita income, according to a recent study by Headwaters Economics, a nonprofit based in B ozeman, Mont. As a Realtor, I hear time and again from people who move to Central Oregon because of the vastrecreational opportunities on public land just outside of town. On the front page of The Bulletin's Business section a few months ago, an article outlined how these new arrivals often bring their businesses with them, because they want to live in a place with trails right out their back door. Hiking the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, skiing the Cascades and biking Phil's Trail are just a few of the opportunities that set our community apart. If the federal government starts selling off our public lands, the public could be locked out of some of ourfavorite places forever, and our economic advantage would be squandered. Public lands are open to all, regardless of creed or class, and selling them to private interests for temporary f inancial gain would be an injustice for both present and future generations of Americans.

Stop blaming 'somebody else' for growth of nation's debt By Robert P. Latham hatever you have, spend less." That quote is fr om Poor Richard's Almanac for 1738. Such wisdom was not limited to Benjamin Franklin or the other founding fathers. It was thundered from the pulpits of early American churches and whispered from the lips of early American mothers. It was deep in the culture. Now, fast-forward 200 years to my birth in 1938. My generation, now white-headed or bald, has had its run. Our motto was, "whatever you have, spend more." We spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave. We bought oversized houses with tiny down payments and 20- or 30- or even 40-year

mortgages. We went through fancy cars like the daily newspaper. Stylish clothes, recreation, travel, and electronicgadgets were everyone's birthright. Saving for old age, for our children's education, or for unexpected events were all thought to be quaint, vestigial ideas of the past. Who needed those? Consequently, we h av e a l most nothing with which to support our retirement. Little to cover the increasing medical costs of aging. Little net worth to pass on to future generations. Worse, we taught our children, and now our grandchildren, that such profligacy was standard. We should really be ashamed. Although the obvious cause of the grim economic outlook is our own foolishness, we all try to identify Mr.

IN MY VIEW Eltz. We think that Sumbah D. Eltz is to blame. Maybe it is Mr. Eltz, the banker. Or Mr. Eltz, the politician who we voted for. Or Mr. Eltz, the building contractor. Or Mr. Eltz, the owner of the company that closed down the entire division where I previously worked. Just because it wasn't profitable. Many of us in the oldest generation can reasonably hope to slip past the pain that is overdue. Likely it will never catch up with us. We all enjoy the benefits that the government heaps on us voting oldsters. Particularly SocialSecurity and Medicare. There is an ugly rumor floating around that maybe those goodies cannot be sustained for another generation. But

we will probably be dead before the politicians get around to actually addressing that issue. So maybe us oldsters should consider the question: Do we owe the

coming generations an apology? Are they inexorably stuck with paying for our foolishness? Will they have to restrict their consumption of luxury goods — which we taught them to expect — to pay our bills? Seems likely. Will the next generation inherit e nough wealth t o o f fset th e e x cess taxes that they are going to be saddled with? If we adjust for inflation and for the pro rata share of the massive increase in public debt, one doubts it. Many of us will hand our children less than was handed to us. The federal government's debt has

now passed $16 trillion and is rapidly climbing. If you project that ahead for a few years — surely I'll live that long — and add something for state and local debt, we can round it off to maybe $20 trillion of public debt. Or more. Remember that roughly half of the 300 million or more Americans don't pay meaningful taxes. Assume an average family size of about three. Roughly 50 million families are responsible for $20 trillion debt or perhaps $400,000each. That is what I am passing on to my kids. How much public debt did my parentspass on to me'?The answer isless than 5 percent of that. I and my generation should be ashamed. Deeply, profoundly ashamed. — Robert P.

OMMENTARY

Te e ar he year 2012 saw the triumph of cold reality over pie-in-thesky dreams. Barack Obama in 2008 won an election on an upbeat message of change in the hope that the first black president would mark a redemptive moment in American history. Four years later, the fantasies are gone. In continuing dismal economic times, Obama ran for re-election neither on hi s f i r s t-term a c hievements — Obamacare, bailouts, financial stimuli and Keynesian mega-deficits — nor on more utopian promises. Instead, President Obama's campaign systematically reduced his rival, Wall S treet f inancier Mitt Romney, to a conniving, felonious financial pirate who did dastardly things, from letting the uninsured die to putting his pet dog Seamus in a cage on top of the family car. Obama once had mused that he wished to be the mirror image of Ronald Reagan — successfully coaxing America to the left as the folksy Reagan had to the right. Instead, 2012 taught us that a calculating Obama is more a canny Richard Nixon, who likewise used any means necessary to be re-elected on the premise that his rival would be even worse. But we know what eventually happened to the triumphant, preWatergate Nixon after November 1972; what will be the second-term wages of Obama's winning ugly? The so-called fiscal cliff offers

1:W VICTOR DAVIS HANSON more examples of2012 dreams giving way to reality. Obama will probably get his long-promised taxes on the rich. But so what? There are not enough caricatured " m illionaires and billionaires" even to make a dent in his administration's fifth consecutive $1 trillion-plus deficit. Instead, all that is left for Obama is to go over the cliff or wait for Republicans to counter-propose the necessary cuts in entitlements so that he can both reluctantly accept these budget-saving measures and demonize those who so threaten "the most vulnerable." What will stop the massive borrowing is not the myth of bipartisan cooperation, but the reality of returning high interest rates that will make the current splurging simply unsustainable. What did we learn from the killings of Americans in Benghazi? So far, the fantasy of jailing a single Coptic filmmaker for posting an anti-Islamic video has trumped the reality of holding the administration accountable for allowing lax security and offeringonly feeble responses to a massacre prompted by a preplanned, al Qaida-affiliated terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic post. As the year ended, a deranged 20-

en reams ie year-old killer in Newtown, Conn., shot down 26 children and adults at the Sandy Hook ElementarySchooL The nation decried the killer's access to his murdered mother's semiautomatic arsenal to achieve his gruesome toll. But banning the sale of assault weapons will probably not stop another Newtown massacre any more than an earlier ban prevented the Columbine shootings — unless the federal government is prepared to enter American homes and confiscate millions of previously purchased semi-automatic and assault weapons. Steps toward a far more realistic solution — jawbone Hollywood to quit romanticizing gratuitous cruelty and violence; censor sick, macabre video games; restrict some freedoms of the mentally ill; and put armed security guards into the schools — are as much an anathema to civil libertarians as the banning of some guns is a panacea. So we pontificate while waiting for the next massacre. In February, the European Union grandly announced a second — and last — 130 billion-euro bailout of Greece and an apparent solution to the southern European debt crisis. But the year ended with Greece never poorer and never more indebted. The proper solution was n ever band-aiding G reece w i t h some German euros, but r ather asking why, under the EU system,

had Greece — andother Mediterranean EU members — been allowed to become so indebted for so long in the first place. On June 30,supposed reformist Mohammed Morsi was sworn in as president of a new democratic Egypt amid grand talk of the Arab Spring. But in November, Morsi, as a good Islamist, hounded out of office his secular rivals in the judiciary and suspended the rule of law. And days ago, by popular vote, Morsi oversaw the implementation of the Muslim Brotherhood's version o f S h a ria Law as the basis of the new Egyptian constitution. Given the chaos of Libya and Syria, and the murder of Americans in Benghazi, the cruel winter of 2012 has now ended the dreamy Arab Spring of 2011. As the year ends, there are ominous signs of impending financial implosion at home. Abroad, we see a soon-to-be nuclear Iran, an even more unhinged nuclearNorth Korea, a new Islamic coalition against Israel, a bleeding European Union, and a more nationalist Germany and Japan determined to achieve security apart from the old but increasingly suspect U.S. guarantees. The year 2012 should have taught us that dreaming is no answer to reality; 2013 will determine how well we learned that lesson. — Victor Davis Hansonis a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution,

Look within to change U.S. gun culture By Henry Allen Special to The Washington Post

et me dust off my favorite Sufi

parable.

A man loses a ring inside his house. A friend sees him crawling around outside and asks, "If you lost your ring in the house, why are you looking for it here?" "You fool," says the man, "the light is much better out here." And so it goes with people looking for solutions to gun killings in America. We're talking about the very best people, the people with statistics and proposals for regulation, crawling around in the sunlight of their social-scientific rationality. They never find a solution because all their legislation, academic studies, mathematical proofs, and proposals for waiting periods, background checks and buying limits aren't going to do much more than they ever have. Nor arethe pleas of the progressives asking why anyone would ever want to own a gun — thereby demonstrating their arrogance toward the people who own the hundreds of millions of guns in the United States. Both the problem and the solution lie elsewhere, in what historian Richard Hofstadter called "America as a Gun Culture." It started with New England Indians trying to drive out settlers in King Philip's War, 1675-76. Some 5 percent to 10 percent of settler men of fighting age were killed. Laws soon required settlers to keep firearms in their homes. The 1700s brought the "Kentucky rifle," the long-range symbol of frontier independence. George Washington encouraged "the use of Hunting

Shirts, with long Breeches made of the same Cloth ... it is a dress justly supposed tocarry no small terror to the enemy, who think every such person a complete marksman." In the 19th century, Samuel Colt brought the gleaming modernity of mass production to gunmaking. The slogan had it that God created man and Samuel Colt made them equal. Cowboys carried Colts the way noblemen carriedswords, as blazons of their status. Dime-novel writers invented the quick-draw duels that almost never happened. The 20th century brought the dark romance of the gangster armed with Thompson submachine guns and private eyes with their snub-nosed 38s. World War II veterans brought home enemy guns as trophies of their victory. Then came the AK-47, weapon of choice against Western imperialists. Hollywood e m ploys a r m orers tuned to the tiniest details of gun fetishism. I've read that on "Miami Vice," Don Johnson's character was equipped with not an ordinary cop's sidearm but a 10mm Dornaus & Dickson Bren Ten with hard-chrome slide on a stainless-steel frame. How alluring. Guns get handed down through generations, symbols of patriarchy. They're symbols of protection of the home, the romance of industry, equality, cool daring, mean-street savvy, fighting for liberation and family tradition. There are complications of class, too. Campaigns against "Saturday night specials" were c ampaigns against the arming of th e l ower classes. In 1941, a Florida Supreme Court justice wrote an opinion that a gun-control law had been "passed for the purpose of disarming the

Negro laborers and ... was never intended to be applied to the white population." Last week an analyst talked to an NPR talk-show host about "insurrectionist" gun owners — a rising of the masses against, presumably, some of the people who listen to NPR. When elites talk about "armed rednecks" and "gun-toting trailer trash," they may think their bigotry stays secret. It doesn't. Those maligned Americans are aware that governing classes throughout history have sought a monopoly on violence, in the manner of the British redcoats trying to seize American guns at Concord, Mass. Purveyors of guns rejoice whenever America is seized by gun-control crusades — they do little but drive up gun purchases by those who fear total confiscation. The gun problem, however it's de-

Instead, we need to look at America as a gun culture. We might start with public pressure on the media and mass entertainment. We might stop catering to gun fetishism. We might increase the number of h igh school rifle teams — the dwindling of which, following calls for b ans starting in the 1960s, has helped leave gun training to movies and video games. We might point out that the great names of American gunsmithing — Winchester, Colt, Smith and Wesson, and Remington — are now just brands bought and sold by corporations. U.S. pistols are so shoddy that our armed forceschose a pistolfrom Italy, the Beretta. Our police carry pistols from Austria and Germany. We might think about the cultural effects of turning endless war Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan — into a norm. And we should know that gun culture is founded on a small amount of facts and a large amount of romance. Changing a culture is a lot harder than changing the law. But look at our cultural shifts on race and gender, on drunk driving and the cooling of the American love affair with the automobile. It takes a long time, andthere are no guarantees, yet we might actually find the solution we've been looking for in all the wrong places. — Henry Allen, who won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2000, was an editor and reporter for 39years at The Washington Post.

This simple point helps to explain what kinds of economic incentives are most likely to have an impact. It also places a bright spotlight on an overlooked obstacle to fiscal reform. Let's start with some evidence. Many people have been interested in giving teachers an economic incentive to teach better, by telling them that if their students improve their test scores, they will get some extra money. Unfortunately, the record is pretty mixed; if teachers are promised bonuses, students don't seem to do a lot better. But consider an ingenious study by Harvard economist Roland Fryer and his colleagues. Instead of promising teachers a bonus, researchers gave teachers the money in advance, and told them if their students didn't improve, they would have to give it back. The result? Student math scores shot up.

Why does a threatened loss of an advance payment have such a big effect, when teachers aren't much influenced by the promise of a bonus? The answer lies in one of the central findings of behavioral economics, which goes by the unlovely name of "loss aversion." In short, the prospect of a loss focuses the human mind. Even if people don't care a whole lot about gains, they will work hard, and possibly fight, to avoid comparable losses.Research shows that even professional golfers display loss aversion. They do significantly better when putting to save par than when putting to make a birdie. An appreciation of loss aversion offers some important lessons for public policy. Consider recent efforts to decrease people's use of grocery bags. In the District of Columbia, one approach was to offer a 5-cent bonus to customers who brought reusable bags. It had essentially no effect. Starting in 2010, the district tried another approach, which is to impose a 5 cent tax on those who ask for a grocery bag. The new approach, enlisting loss aversion, has

had a major effect in reducing the

use of grocery bags. The general point is that if a company or a government wants to discourage behavior, a fee is likely to have a much bigger effect than an equivalent reward. Even small or nominal fees can have a big impact. It follows that a subsidy, including a tax credit, is likely to be far less effective than a tax. We should now be able to see the role of loss aversion in the current U.S. fiscal debates. Any effort to raise revenue, or to cut programs, will impose losses. Consider, for example, tax deductions for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state taxes and retirement savings. Imagine that these deductions didn't now exist, and the question was solemnly asked: In the current economic environment, should we create them in their current form? I am not denying that the right answer might be yes, but the whole discussion would be different from what it is today, when many people are resisting losses from the status quo. Loss aversion helps to entrench

existing programs, making them seem like entitlements, simply because they establish the reference point against which losses and gains are measured. Can anything be done to overcome lossaversion? There are three possibilities. First, we might try to convince people that however painful, some losses are justified. Second, we m i ght m ak e l o ss aversion less relevant by bundling two or more reforms, ensuring that those who lose in one area gain in another. Third, we might focus people's attention on the question, not whether we should eliminate or scale back a program, but whether we would now create it in the first instance. That question has the important a dvantage of ensuring that if w e keep it, we do so because it is a good idea — and not just because of the intense desires of those who resist losses from the status quo. — Cass R. Sunstein, the Felix Franlzfurter professor of law at Harvard University, is a Bloomberg columnist.

Brave men and women who dare in the face of danger By Trudy Rubln The Phi(adelphia tnquirer

s the year draws to a close, I want to pay tribute to a few brave men and women who have been fighting in 2012 for dignity, justice, and peace in some of the world's most troubled countries. What distinguishes them is that each haschosen to struggle, atgreat risk, for values that most of us take for granted — though their odds of success are small. I'll start with someone you probably have heard of, Malala Yousafzai, the 15-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education. I never met Malala, who is still recovering from her wounds in England. I did talk with her impressive, reform-minded father when I visited Pakistan's Swat Valley in 2009. I name her first because she stands for so many brave girls in Swat and other remote Pakistani and Afghan regions who risk their lives by insisting on their right to study. In case anyone needs reminding of the danger, consider this: Just last week, according to British press reports, Malala called officials in Pakistan to urge them to reverse a decision to rename a college in her honor, in her hometown of Mingora.The reason? The girls at the college feared it would become a target for attack if it bore her name. I also want to pay tribute to the nine female Pakistani vaccination

workers (one only 17) who were murdered by extremists last week. Female health volunteers are on the front line of Pakistan's war on polio. (It is one of three countries where the diseasestil l threatens — the others are Afghanistan and Nigeria.) Due to conservative tribal customs, only women can enter houses to give vaccine to children. If these cases touch you, stop for a moment to consider what awaits thousands of courageous Afghan women and girls if (when?) we exit their country in a careless fashion. The Taliban is already sending out warning signals. This month, Najia Siddiqi, acting head of women's affairs in Laghman province, was shot to death in broad daylight; her predecessor was killed by a bomb under her car. And then thereis Syria, where so many nonviolent activists have paid with their lives for their dreams of a peaceful revolution. At least 69 of the dead are media activists or journalists, who record the carnage inflicted by government forces and planes on civilians, and then send reports and footage out of the country. I met several Syrian media activists on trips this year to Lebanon, Turkey, and Syria; I can't name them for their safety. So let me cite the words of the activist-filmmaker Tamer alAwam, 34, whom I never met and who was killed in Aleppo in September. In his short film, "Memories at a Checkpoint," he said his goal was to give voice to people who wanted "to tell the world: Stop the killing. We are a people who love life." Finally, let me pay tribute to Alexei Navalny, a 30-ish Russian blogger, anticorruptioncrusader, and leader of Moscow's middle-class opposition to Vladimir Putin's autocracy. I met Navalny in Moscow in March, where he described how he trolls through documents leaked by d i sgruntled bureaucrats to reveal the mafia-like criminal behavior of the regime. Navalny is fearless, even accusing Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia's FBI-style Investigative Committee and a Putin buddy, of criminal property violations. But the regime has struck back, leveling ludicrous corruption charges against Navalny and his brother, a common tactic to silence dissidents. I could cite so many other acts of courage in 2012, by women activists in Egypt, rule-of-law crusaders in China, etc. But all these activists share a common characterist ic:They refuse to stop fighting against seemingly insurmountable odds, because they know — as the Arab Spring revolts proved — that wenever can predict when history will deliver surprises. In some cases, U.S. officials can help, and concerned U.S. citizens should pressure them to do so. In other cases,we can bring their struggle to the world's attention, support human-rights organizations that defendthem — and keep these men and women of courage in our prayers. — Trudy Rubinis a columnist and editorial-board member for the

There's a great scene in Penelope Spheeris' 1992 film "Wayne's World" — find it on YouTube under the title "May i help you riff" — in which an i mpatient g u itar-store e m ployee prevents Wayne from plucking out the opening arpeggios of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. Pointing with great urgency, the guy directs Wayne's attention to a sign hung on the store's wall: "NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN," it reads. In Alan Light's new book about the music of Leonard Cohen, the singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile describes another such printed prohibition, this one taped to a soundboard at L.A.'s Hotel Cafe, where Carlilesays performers are enjoined from doing a tune that in recent years has become nearly as ubiquitous as Led Zeppelin's rock-canonical classic. The sign's beseeching request? "PLEASE DO NOT PLAY 'HALLELUJAH.'" Just how Cohen's song — re-

McPartan io itsa t eri t notes "Shall We Play That One Together? The Life and Art

of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland" by Paul de Barros (St. Martin's Press,$35)

By Gene Seymour Newsday

Paradise may be a g r eat place to live, but the implicit lack of conflict makes it a lousy home for a dramatist. In similar fashion, it's challeng-

ing for any biographer to take on the life of an exemplary human being and fashion a compelling story out of it. Consider the case of Marian McPartland, pianist, composer and longtime host of NPR's peerless "Piano Jazz" series. For those who know McPartland only through her recorded, live and broadcast appearances, the encomium bestowed by composer Alec Wilder in a letter she saved for years pretty much nails her down: "You are very talented, you are witty, warm, good, ethical, tender, tolerant,angry,responsible, elegant, stylish, strong, steadfast, womanly, u nderstanding, romantic, demanding, and sensitive, civilized, a trustworthy,generous, indeed a sensible example of the po-

tential splendor of human kind at its best." So we're done here, right? Not by a long shot, thanks to Paul de Barros' engrossing

and illuminating biography, "Shall We Play That One Together'?," its title a direct reference to the query she asked of Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles, Esperanza Spalding, Elvis Costello, Tony Bennett, Norah Jones, Steely

Dan (!), Clint Eastwood (!!) and many other guests on "Piano Jazz" over more than 30 years. (McPartland, 94, retired as host last year, though she remains the show's artistic director.) De Barros, jazz critic and

p op music editor fo r T h e Seattle T i mes, a p proaches M cPartland's long, rich l i fe as both a knowledgeable fan and an evenhanded observer. She was born in Slough, England, in 1918 "with perfect pitch — the ability to pick out any note she heard and play it, the way other people might identify a color or shape." This gift served her through her classical music education at London's Guildhall School of Music, and after she dropped out to tour with a vaudeville act that would eventually entertain troops in World War II Europe — where she met Jimmy McPartland. The Chicago-born cornetist was an infantryman stationed in Belgium when he met Marian during her USO tour in 1944. They married in Germany and, upon returning to the United States, he became her guide to the still-burgeoning jazz scene in Chicago and then New York. Theirs was, putting it mildly, a rocky relationship. Jimmy drank too much. She tried to make him stop. Her reputation gradually matched and soon exceeded his at nightclubs throughout Manhattan. Her most significant gig was a 12-year residency at t h e

long-defunct Hickory House on fabled 52nd Street, where her drummer — and longtime lover — was the rhythmically resourcefulJoe Morello. With poise,de Barros recounts the particulars of her affair with Morello and, for that matter, the marriage to McPartland, which officially ended in a 1970 divorce. Their relationship, however, endured as they lived together in Bellmore and remarried shortly before Jimmy's death from lung cancer in 1991. Their original divorce, as Marian often quipped, "was a failure." Such is an example of Marian M c Partland's s h rewd, self-deprecating wit, on disp lay throughout "Shall W e Play That One Together?," as are herflashes of pique and bruised vanity. (Regular listeners of "Piano Jazz" might be surprised to find that the gracious host "could, and often did, swear like a sailor.") The overall portrait de Barros presents is one of an openminded, openhearted artist who struggled over seemingly improbable c i r c umstances, not the least being gender prejudice, to continue evolv-

ing, growing and giving back as much inspiration as she reaped.

TheAto Z of goofiness in Onion's encyclopedia "The Onion Book

of Known Knowledge" by The Onion (Little, Brown and Co., $29.99)

You may think you know everything about e verything, but "The Onion Book of K n ow n Kn o w ledge" would beg to differ. The latest book from the crackpots — er, writersat the satiric news source have taken on the whole wide world this time out in this "Definitive Encyclopedia of Existing Informa-

tion" (their words).

" We knew t h e whole appeal of doing an encyclopedia would be that we could make a joke about anything," says editor Will Tracy. "There was no corner of the known universe we couldn't cover." And so th e extremely f unny "Book o f K n o w n K nowledge" starts at A and ends at Z, with a totally made-up lettersomewhere i n between. Ho w d o e s something so w i de-ranging — it i ncludes entries such as chainsaw ("portable mechanical saw that doesn't fit in your briefcase, so you'll just have to get to work early that day and put it under your desk before your co-workers arrive") — come together? "We had a running list of things we knew we had to have, like God and World War II, things that you'd expect to find," Tracy says. "Once we covered those, it was sort of like, 'Do whatever you want. You want to write an entry on Apple? Do that.'" This comprehensive approach may explain entries like "Jupsi: what Pepsi was calledfor some reason in a weird dream Muscatine, Iowa, resident Jessica Perrin had on the night of May 7, 2003." "I wrote that entry in the last few months. We were just starting to get nutty," Tracy admits. W ith i d eas f l y in g i n willynilly, the Onion writers have to trust their colleagues' feedback about what works. "Sometimes I thinkI have something really great, but the room doesn't go for it," Tracy says. "Months later, I'll look at it and I'll think, ' Yeah, that w a sn't t h at great.' ... With this book we just had to watch out that the jokes wouldn't be something we'd a l r eady used. Trying not to repeat ourselves was hard." The Onion appears in many forms these days, but there's one thing linking them all: "That main Onion brand core voice runs through it all," Tracy says.

ewa Lit enre oes eon wizar san vam ires By Leslie Kaufman New Yorh Times News Service

Vampire and wizard fans are apparently ready for characters who shed their robes and show a little more skin. Publishers and authors say they are seeing a spurt in sales ofbooks that fit into the youngadult genre in their length and emotional intensity, but feature slightly older characters and significantly more sex, explicitly detailed. They've labeled this category "new adult" — which some winkingly describe as Harry Potter meets "50 Shades of Grey" — and say it is aimed a t 1 8 -to-25-year-olds, t h e

The goal is to retain young readers wh o h a v e l o y ally worked their w a y t h r ough series like Harry Potter, "The Hunger Games" and " Twilight," all of which tread lightly, or not at all, when it comes to sexual encounters. In the "Twilight" books, for instance, readersare kept out ofthe bedroom when Bella and Edward, the endlessly yearning lead characters, finally c onsummate their relationship. P roviding m o r e m a t u r e material, publishers reason, is a good way t o m aintain devotion to books among the

Other titles that have had recent success in the genre include "Losing It," by Cora Carmack, about a c o l l ege senior who decides to shed her virginity in a o ne-night stand; "Slammed," by Colleen Hoover, about a high school senior who has a summer affair with a man who turns out to be her new poetry teacher; and "Easy," by Tammara Webber, about a college freshman negotiating new love and a stalker. "We are seeing a transiedge of describing sex, and no tional generation," concludes further.

a crossover readership that is also attracting millions of adults. All while creating a new source of revenue. This week Simon 8 Schuster's Children's Publishing released, in e-book format only, an "uncut and uncensored" version of "The Vincent Boys" and "The Vincent Brothers," books forteenagers that were on the USA Today extended b est-seller list w h e n A b b i Glines self-published them in June. The earlier versions of the books followed young-adult conventions and went to the

The material that Simon & Schuster added online was initially w r i tten b y G l i n es for her o r iginal version of the "Vincent" books but was excised when she decided to sell to the young-adult market. While most works do not come with a ready-to-go sexual insert like that, publishers said that in the future books could commonly come in two versions and be marketed to both audiences. While publishers like the concept of creatinga new-adult

category, its hybrid nature has been problematic. The books fall into an undefined territory between adult and children's literature, and there is no obvious place for them in bookstores. Even within publishing houses, new-adult authors are being split between children's and adult divisions. But while publishers hesitated, a crop of young authors began forcing the issue: They began self-publishing novels on the Internet about 19-to25-year-olds who are leaving home for the first time for jobs or college or a first real relationship. Online readers discovered some of these books and made them best-sel lers by word-of-mouth.

Mathis only provides a few street and neighborhood names to suggest the originality of the city where much of her s t ory u n f olds. The spirit of reinvention, possibility and cultural tumult that defined those hopefulyears is largely absent too.

Inner turmoil Mathis is more successful, however, in her descriptions of the inner turmoil of two of Hattie's sons: one a musician confused about his sexuality, the other a teenage preacher who's heard the voice of God. Hattie's ow n em o t ional struggles as a mother of eight are given the stark, superficial treatment of your average afternoon talk show. Poor Hattie is pummeled again and again by fate and injustice. Her life as a character in this book is defined almost entirely by the fact that she bears

children — again and again. When Hattie argues with her largely useless husband, August, the dialogue has all the profundity of a television soap opera. "You ain't never tried to understand what it is to be a man out in this world," Au-

gust says.

" Don't give me t hat l i n e about how hard it is for Negroes," Hattie answers. "I'm on the dole because you spend your money in the streets. I know it's hard!"

One-dimensional Nothing, it seems, is able to liberate the characters in "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" from the melodramatic prison in which Mathis has placed them. As the year 1968 arrives, we f in d H a t t ie's a f f luent, now-adult daughter caught in a kind of Victorian-era drawi ng-room dr ama w i t h t h e hired help, without a hint of the seismic shifts in attitudes that are sweeping through the country. Even the sex scenes in "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" fall victim to Mathis' matter-offact writing voice and its use of verbs — "emboldened," "resolved" — more appropriate to a politician's stump speech. "He wanted her again, as she knew he would. He was emboldened by t h e p r e v ious evening," Mathis writes, describing o n e e n c ounter. "Bell resolved not to let Lawrence turn the affair into a romance." In the end, "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" is a callow work by a writer of still unpolished talents. Our g reat novelists give us fully rounded characters whose lives reflect the limitations, the possibilities and the wonder of the times in which they live. Mathis gives us a one-dimensional portrait of their suffering — and little else.

"'Cowboys Are My Weakness' is short stories, fiction, and yet you feel the sense that even if not everything is literally true from Pam's life, she's really tapped into what it means to be human," says Cheryl Strayed, author of the nonfiction bestseller "Wild." "That's the work of any writer: Trying to illuminate the human condition, and Pam has done that from the beginning. And she has a plain-spokenness that I find

so compelling." Houston explains that her style is a natural outgrowth of the controversies of such writers as James Frey, who was scolded by Oprah Winfrey for making up part of his memoir "A Million Little Pieces." "What I'm doing is entering this conversation on what

A Braziliancentenarian re lects as eath approaches "Spilt Milk" by Chico Buarque, translated from the Portuguese by Alison Entrekin (Grove Press, $23)

Karsten Moran /The New York Times

Mental health and grief counselors walk toward the scene of a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Dec. 14, where a gunman killed 26 people.

why my mother allowed herself to be vulnerable: Her unconditional love for her child transcended her fears. Over the t h re e d ecades since my brother's onset of illness, my parents, now in their 70s, have selflessly negotiated our g utted mental health system, trying to keep him stable. All the while, they have loved him and worked very hard to keep him well, going with hi m t o d o ctor's

appointments, giving him $5 to get an iced tea and a snack at Hardee's. But support is limited. Dozens of times, my father has taken my brother to the local jobs office for the disabled. He never finds work.

Making sense of tragedy Along with the rest of the nation, my heart goes out to the families of the 20 children and six adults Lanza killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I know it is easy to judge Lanza; that is an understandable response to such a

seeminglysenselesstragedy. But I would argue that the tragedy makes sense if you look at it from a psychiatric perspective. Psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and other health-care pr o f e ssionals have explained to my f amily why mental illness poses such challenges. When very sick, a person suffering from s chizophrenia, bipolar a n d schizoaffective disorders, or other illnesses can have scrambled thinking, feelings of grandiosity, paranoia, delusions, irritation and rage. We don't know whether Lanza had a mental problem, but other major symptoms of serious illnesses include a lack of self-awareness, aloss of empathy and the emergence of dissociation, or th e c utting off of emotions — three characteristics that f r i ends and neighbors have used to describe Lanza. " Dissociation c a n cause someone to disconnect from their feelings and their connection to h u manity," says M arlene Steinberg, a p s y chiatrist and the author of "The Stranger in the Mirror." When "that connection to someone close is broken," she says, even assaulting a mother becomes plausible. I know it is very difficultperhaps impossiblefor some — to extend a kind thought to those who take the lives of others. But we must, for it is that lack of empathy that allows humans to kill. This past week, after visiting me at my home in Northern Virginia, my mother took the bus home t o M o r gantown, WVa. In the dark of night,as she descended from the bus, a man approached her quickly. It was my brother — he had driven himself to pick her up, for the first time. He has been stable now for several years. Laughing and buoyant, he strode toward her. "Hi, Mom!" he said, beaming. He carried her suitcase to the car, then happily chatted with her all the way home.

but, rather, the way it also exists almost outside that history, outside of time. That's because Eulalio is adrift, not just within his life but also in h i s m emories, which shift and overlap, repeating throughout the novel likethe choruses of a song. Warehoused in a d e r elict hospital, he moves back and forth between past and present, conflating characters and incidents, blurring the boundaries between what he imagines and what he recalls. At the heart of everything is his w i f e M a t ilde, w ith whom he fell in love at his father's funeral, a dark-skinned
