One pleads guilty in Desert Sun mortgage fraud case Pension vote

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

A former Redmond resident pleaded guilty in federal court to bank fraud Thursday in connection with an alleged mortgage fraud and construction loan scam involving the formerly

Bend-based Desert Sun Development Inc. Along with his guilty plea, Michael A. Wilson, 58, filed a document in federal court admitting that he forged his wife’s signature and lied about his assets in 2007 to obtain and refinance

a $530,000 home loan.

Wilson’s lawyer, Bill Sharp, declined to comment on the guilty plea.

When he obtained the loans, Wilson was working as construction manager for the now-defunct Desert Sun Development. The company’s principals, Ty-

ler Fitzsimons and Shannon Egeland, along with 10 others, also are under federal indictments alleging they defrauded banks of about $19 million in commercial construction loans and lied on residential mortgage applications.

When tilling the land isn’t enough, what can a farmer do?

U.S. Census of Agriculture In 2007, the value of Deschutes County’s agricultural products sold ranked 30th out of 36 counties in Oregon, according to the census.

Neighboring Jefferson County was ranked 21st, and Crook County was ranked 29th.

a short-term fix, local officials say But it does mean cities and schools will take a smaller budget hit in 2011

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Local governments and school districts throughout Oregon will suffer a smaller blow to their 2011 budgets, thanks to a decision Friday by the board of the state pension fund.

But most local officials reached about the decision said any savings from a smaller rate hike next year will end up being billed in future years to meet future pension obligations, meaning any benefit will be short term.

The recession that hit in 2008 sucked about $19 billion out of the investment fund overseen by the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System board — or about 27 percent of its total value. This year the fund has rebounded somewhat but has a ways to go before it regains that lost value.

To refill the fund, and make sure all pension obligations are covered, the board is poised to jack up the rates that public agencies pay to support PERS. That rate hike would have amounted to about $1.5 billion statewide in the 2011-13 biennium.

Thanks to Friday’s vote, school districts and local governments are likely to see a smaller-thanexpected rate increase. That’s because of a change to an esoteric rule that limited the size of rate hikes as long as an employer’s obligations were at least 80 percent funded by its past contributions.

Under the old rule, rate hikes for those employers were limited to an increase equal to 3 percent of payroll. However, an employer that was less than 80 percent funded faced a rate hike of 6 percent of payroll.

Rex Barber Jr. has grown crops at Big Falls Ranch west of Terrebonne for about 25 years, but he is looking for other sources of income. Barber is one of a group of farmers and a few Deschutes County planning commissioners who say farming is no longer a viable way to earn a living in Deschutes County. They contend people who own farmland need more options to make money, such as selling off smaller parcels for hobby farms.

Some say the answer is to allow resorts and other development on Deschutes farmland, but not all agree

“I am still trying to break even, and I’m hoping this year that I do.”

— Gigi Meyer, who owns Windflower Farm east of Bend and supports changes to land use rules that she says would make it easier to run successful farms

TERREBONNE — Farmers in Deschutes County say Rex Barber Jr.’s 1,000 irrigated acres along Lower Bridge Way is in the most productive agricultural area of the county.

Barber has grown crops such as wheat, grass and alfalfa hay, garbanzo beans and occasionally peas for about 25 years at Big Falls Ranch, but he is also looking for other sources of income.

He supports the loosening of state and county rules that restrict development of farmland, including county rules that prohibit destination resorts on irrigated agricultural land.

zone where resorts are allowed.

The county currently does not allow resorts on irrigated farmland, a rule that is stricter than state law, and Planning Commissioner Christen Brown recently wrote in a letter to the County Commission that “farms cannot be expected to stand alone as a source of family income in Deschutes County.”

“Profitability is not expected,” Brown continued.

“Alternative sources of farm income need to be encouraged.” The County Commission should discuss whether to relax the prohibition on resorts on irrigated farmland, Brown said.

Jobless turn to family for help, frequently with complications

“Without irrigation, the soil would not be productive,” Barber said. “Our elevation is lower than any other area of the county, so we have a little longer growing season. But we still had a frost down here that killed some of our beans in June and had another frost in August that didn’t help either.”

Some members of the Deschutes County Planning Commission share Barber’s view that it is difficult for people to support themselves solely on agriculture in Deschutes County, and land use rules are too strict.

WARRENTON — After Jean Ley lost her job as a mental health counselor in June 2008, she quickly realized how limited her options were. She had little savings. Unemployment benefits were not going to be enough to pay her bills. She was at risk of losing her home here on the Oregon Coast.

As a last resort, Ley, 62, turned to her family. Her older brothers conferred with her

son, Matt, and agreed that one of them would help pay her bills if needed.

But the assistance proved more than temporary. A year and half later, her son’s regular payments covering her mortgage and occasional emergencies, like a car repair or arthritis medication, have proven to be her bulwark from economic catastrophe.

“If my family weren’t able to help me out at this point, I wouldn’t have a home,”

she said. “And I would be struggling.”

As joblessness persists, credit cards max out and the government’s safety net has grown thin, many Americans have turned to a patchwork quilt of family members and friends to stave off eviction, keep their electricity running or cover an unexpected medical bill. It is an underground banking system, complete with lenders and borrowers.

Confusion, an apology as Toyota recalls grow

By Walter Hamilton and Tiffany Hsu Los Angeles Times

Confusion abounded Friday as frustrated Toyota owners scrambled to figure out what to do with their recalled vehicles, and dealers rushed to assess the damage from the automaker’s decision to temporarily halt sales of vehicles with faulty gas pedals.

Also Friday, the president of Toyota issued his first apology, telling a Japanese broadcaster that he was “extremely sorry” for the recalls.

Toyota owners jammed the automaker’s phone lines while others drove to dealerships seeking refunds for newly purchased cars or immediate fixes for older models.

“We’ve gotten everything from ‘I can never drive this thing again’ to ‘how fast can I get this fixed and can I pay you to get to the top of the line,’” said Marc Cannon, senior vice president of AutoNation Inc., which has seven Toyota dealerships in California.

President Barack Obama talks with House Minority Leader John Boehner, center, and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor on Friday after Obama and GOP lawmakers debated the issues and how they’ve been handled for more than an hour in front of cameras.

Off script, the president and the GOP vent politely

By Peter Baker and Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

BALTIMORE — President Barack Obama denied he was a Bolshevik, the Republicans denied they were obstructionists and both sides denied they were to blame for the toxic atmosphere clouding the nation’s political leadership.

At a moment when the country is as polarized as ever, Obama traveled Friday to a House Republican retreat to try to break through the partisan logjam that has helped stall his legislative agenda. What ensued was a lively, robust debate between a president and the opposition party that rarely happens in the scripted world of American politics.

For an hour and 22 minutes, with cameras rolling, they thrust and parried, confronting each other’s policies and politics while challenging each other to meet in the middle. Intense and vigorous, sometimes even pointed, the discussion nonetheless proved remarkably civil and substantive for a relentlessly bitter era, an airing of issues that both sides often say they need more of.

But if it was at times a wonky clash of ideas, it also seemed to be a virtual marriage-therapy session as each side vented grievances pent up after a year of partisan gridlock. Obama complained that the Republicans were painting him as a radical, making it harder to compromise.

Obama, Massachusetts senator-elect are related, genealogists report BOSTON — It was bad enough that President Barack Obama lost his filibuster-proof margin in the U.S. Senate to a Republican.

Now it turns out he also lost it to a relative.

Genealogists said Friday that the Democratic president and the newly elected senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, are 10th cousins.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society said Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and Brown’s mother, Judith Ann Rugg, both descend from Richard Singletary of Haverhill, Mass.

He died in 1687 at the unheard-of, for the time, age of 102.

“I think it’s a really interesting thing, where you have the separation between a Democrat and a Republican, but you have one link,” said David Allen Lambert, the society genealogist who codiscovered the connection with colleague Chris Child.

Lambert said the work was aided by prior research about Obama, as well as Brown’s cooperation with the society when researchers first contacted him in December.

“I’m glad to be in such distinguished company,” Brown said of the findings.

— The Associated Press His health care plan, he said, was not “a Bolshevik plot.” The Republicans, for their part, complained that he did not listen to them and instead sat back while the Democratic “attack machine,” as one called it, demonized them.

“I am not an ideologue,” Obama said at one point, drawing skeptical murmurs from the crowd that seemed to surprise him. “I’m not,” he insisted.

But if he rejected the Republican labels for him, the Republicans rejected his for them.

“I can look you in the eye and tell you we have not been ob-

structionists,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a freshman from Utah, told him.

The encounter at a Baltimore hotel was unlike any of Obama’s presidency, or very many other presidencies. Such a sustained and public dialogue with a hostile audience is rare for a president. Instead, Friday’s back and forth resembled the British tradition where the prime minister submits to questions on the floor of the House of Commons — something that Sen. John McCain had promised to do if elected president.

For Obama, the lion’s-den

strategy of addressing a Republican audience reinforced his effort in the State of the Union address this week to reclaim a more bipartisan image and reach out to disaffected independents. Although he and other presidents have addressed opposition caucuses before, they usually close the doors for questions, but this time the White House insisted on letting the news media record the give and take.

That worked to his benefit as he took advantage of the staging that comes with being president. He commanded the lectern with the presidential seal and the camera was trained mainly on him, while his interlocutors were forced to look up to him from the audience.

Moreover, Obama gave long, confident and informed answers and felt free to interrupt questioners, while it is typically harder for others to interrupt a president.

But Republicans said they believed they had achieved a victory as well, demonstrating that while Democrats might not like some of their policy ideas, they had advanced some proposals, as evidenced by the president’s acknowledgement that he had read them and even incorporated some of them into his initiatives.

“For him to say, ‘I have read your proposals and they are substantive proposals,’ that is a huge thing for Republicans,” Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said afterward.

A demonstrator holds a placard Friday, referring to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, outside the venue of the Iraq Inquiry in London.

Blair said he had no regrets in joining the U.S. to invade Iraq.

The Associated Press

LONDON — He was right and he’d do it again.

That was Tony Blair’s message Friday as he fought for his place in history against critics who contend it was folly to join the Americans in invading Iraq based on intelligence that was faulty and weapons of mass destruction that turned out not to exist.

The highly anticipated testimony before an official inquiry into Britain’s role in the Iraq conflict provided both a reprise and a coda to the Blair years: The former prime minister showed his impressive rhetorical skills and high-minded principles, but left unanswered whether the war that defines his mixed legacy was justified.

Many in the audience, including the relatives of soldiers and civilians killed in the war, were not impressed. Blair’s claim to have no regrets drew an angry outburst. As he left, one man stood up and shouted “You are a liar!” A second added: “And a murderer.”

The six-hour session Friday capped a wide-ranging inquiry

Lefteris Pitarakis The Associated Press

that since November has heard extensive evidence from government lawyers and ministers who raised doubts about the legality and wisdom of the 2003 Iraq invasion, which was extremely unpopular in Britain.

The Iraq Inquiry panel plans to issue a report next year, but does not have a mandate to apportion blame or the power to bring any criminal charges.

Many Britons blamed Blair for blindly following the Ameri-

cans — he was dubbed “Bush’s poodle” and accused of making a backroom deal with the U.S. president.

But while Blair showed signs of nerves during Friday’s testimony — even nibbling on the wings of his spectacles at one point — he was unrepentant as he defended the decision to topple Saddam Hussein.

“This isn’t about a lie or a conspiracy or a deceit or a deception,” Blair said. “It’s a decision.

And the decision I had to take was, given Saddam’s history, given his use of chemical weapons, given the over 1 million people whose deaths he had caused, given 10 years of breaking U.N. resolutions, could we take the risk of this man reconstituting his weapons program?”

Blair said the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States changed everything, showing that religious fanatics were determined to inflict mass casualties.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s main counterterrorism center is creating new teams of specialists to pursue clues of emerging terrorist plots as part of a rapid buildup that will sharply increase its analyst corps, perhaps by hundreds of people over the next year, intelligence officials said Friday.

The action by the National Counterterrorism Center is one of the furthest reaching by the government so far to address the failings of several federal agencies in the case of a 23-year-old Nigerian man charged with boarding a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas with explosives sewn into his underwear.

A White House review this month found that no one in the government’s vast intelligence system had sole responsibility for detecting and piecing together disparate threat information, telltale signs that could have prevented the man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, from boarding the plane.

In response, the counterterrorism center in the past several days has picked more than three dozen of its most capable analysts from across its ranks to form what it calls pursuit teams to focus on threats from Yemen and other offshoots of al-Qaida that could imperil the United States, officials said.

“We have dedicated teams that don’t have any responsibility for producing intelligence, but simply for following up on these small leads,” Michael Leiter, the center’s director, told the House Homeland Security Committee this week in the latest of several recent appearances on Capitol Hill.

“We’ve been very good at chasing down those threats that come out of Afghanistan and Pakistan,” Leiter told the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week.

“We’re going to be better now at chasing down those small bits of information that come out of Yemen or North Africa or East Africa.”

The pursuit teams are just the beginning of an ambitious effort that intelligence officials say could potentially add several hundred additional analysts to the more than 200 specialists who work on terrorism and watch list duties now, officials said. Congress would need to approve financing for the additional hires.

Backlash may shift 9/11 terrorism trials Pressured by a growing clamor from New York, the Obama administration appears likely to move the trial of Sept. 11 terrorism suspects away from Manhattan, where it had been scheduled to take place just blocks from the site of the attack.

The Justice Department is drawing up plans for possible alternate locations to try professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in case Congress or local officials prevent the trial from being held in Manhattan.

Though the officials wouldn’t discuss locations under consideration, others have suggested Governors Island, a former military base in New York Harbor that now welcomes summertime picnickers and bike riders; the U.S. Military Academy at West Point or Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, N.Y. Published reports Friday said the administration had abandoned plans to hold the trial in New York City.

Administration officials told The Associated Press they have not ruled out holding the trial somewhere in the city other than the Manhattan federal courthouse.

Abortion foe found guilty in killing of doctor

By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

Los Angeles Times

WICHITA, Kan. — In a trial that never became the referendum on abortion that some abortion foes wanted, Scott Roeder, a 51-year-old airport shuttle driver, was convicted Friday of murdering George Tiller, one the nation’s few physicians who performed late-term abortions.

When he was slain in the vestibule of his church on May 31, Tiller became the eighth doctor since 1993 to be killed by anti-abortion extremists. In June, his family announced his clinic would close permanently.

The jury of Scott Roeder seven men and five women deliberated for only 37 minutes before finding Roeder guilty of premeditated murder. He faces life in prison.

Sentencing is set for March 9.

Roeder, who testified Thursday that he had methodically stalked and killed Tiller, 67, to stop him from performing abortions, reacted little to a verdict his attorneys said he expected. His face flushed slightly, but he did not move.

Advocates for abortion rights praised the verdict.

“We now strongly urge the U.S. Department of Justice to follow through on its announcement to investigate Dr. Tiller’s murder to determine whether Roeder planned the shooting with anyone else,” said Nancy Northup, the president of the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Some here, however, had words of support for the defendant.

“I don’t condone what Scott Roeder did, but I cannot condemn the consistency of his logic,” said Randall Terry, a founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. “George Tiller killed 60,000 innocent human beings in barbaric ways, and Scott felt the way to protect more babies from a grisly death was to kill Tiller.”

In Afghanistan, U.S. troops invest in goodwill projects

By C.J. Chivers New York Times News Service

BOGRABAD, Afghanistan — Abdul Salam, an elder in this impoverished Afghan village, rose to meet the approaching U.S Marines and Navy corpsman.

Behind him, his mosque had a new concrete floor and two windows. Last month, before the Marines paid him to refurbish it, the mosque was windowless and had a dirt floor.

The Marines’ investment, $1,200 for building materials and labor, was part of an outreach effort intended to reduce violence in Helmand province.

Following the emphasis on a more assertive counterinsurgency approach mandated last year by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, here on some of the country’s most dangerous ground, infantry units are using this winter to try a soft touch.

In the province’s lower Nawa District, many conventional missions for now are a low priority.

Airstrikes and high-explosive artillery fire are in disfavor. Even mortar fire is rare.

Instead, in places where it is able, the infantry is sending patrols to enter into development contracts with local men. The ambition is to use local labor to build bridges over canals, shore up irrigation systems, repair water gates or small dams and, in

the most determined contest of influence against the Taliban, renovate mosques.

The effort rests on a simple premise: to fight the Taliban, money may be more effective than guns. “We’re trying to buy a little peace,” said Capt. Paul Stubbs, the commanding officer of Company W, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines.

The Marines have few illusions about what they are doing. They offer a part-time-jobs program to engage in a tug of war for loyalty, hoping to pull some local men toward neutrality before warm weather returns and fighting most likely intensifies.

The program is not flawless.

The Marines assume that the Taliban skim a fraction of the money. They have watched one elder, Abdul Majid, cheat them. They gave him wheat seeds and fertilizer to distribute to farmers to plant instead of poppies, the predominant crop here. Abdul Majid sold the sacks in the bazaar.

Then he denied it. “I did not sell that wheat,” he told Funk on Wednesday. “If I did, cut off my hand.”

He held out his arm dramatically. The Marines appeared frustrated with the performance but said they were inclined to give him a second chance. Abdul Majid also has a mosque. They want to restore it, for reasons beyond appeasing Abdul Majid.

Taliban bombers attack in Helmand KABUL — Once again, Taliban insurgents staged a surprise attack on official targets, using a squad of heavily armed suicide bombers, and again they failed to achieve their declared goals.

The latest attack came Friday in Lashkar Gah, capital of Helmand province, and both tactics and outcome mirrored the Jan. 18 assault on ministry buildings in downtown Kabul.

In the Helmand attack, as in Kabul, more of the attackers died than of the defending security forces or civilians. After an afternoon-long fight, six suicide attackers were dead, but only one civilian had been killed, according to Lt. Col. Almas Khan of the Afghan National Army. No Afghan soldiers or police officers were killed; three were wounded. NATO forces were involved in a supporting role and reported no casualties.

New rules promise better mental health coverage U.N. envoy met Taliban to discuss talks

PARIS — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned China on Friday that it would face economic insecurity and diplomatic isolation if it did not sign on to tough new sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program, seeking to raise the pressure on Beijing to fall in line with an American-led campaign.

Speaking to students at the Ecole Militaire, the prestigious French war college, Clinton said, “China will be under a lot of pressure to recognize the destabilizing effect that a nuclear-armed Iran would have” in the Persian Gulf, “from which they receive a significant percentage of their oil supply.”

With Russia increasingly frustrated by Iran’s recalcitrance, China has emerged as perhaps the lone holdout to a new U.N. resolution that would focus sweeping financial and economic sanctions on Iran’s leadership, including a possible ban on sales of technology to its energy sector.

Clinton — in a flurry of meetings this week in Europe, including one with the Chinese foreign minister — has tried to build momentum for new measures against Iran. Britain, France and Germany back the effort, and Russia, which has often blocked previous efforts, seems ready to act.

Only China, which imports crude oil from Iran and has large investments in Iran’s oil and gas sector, has said it would prefer to continue negotiating with the Iranian government. With a veto in the U.N. Security Council, it could block a move to impose more sanctions.

“We understand that right now, that is something that seems counterproductive to you, sanction a country from which you get so much of the natural resources your growing economy needs,” Clinton said, referring to the Chinese, in comments after a speech on European security. “But think about the longer-term implications.”

U.S. officials have been making this argument privately to the Chinese for weeks, as the United States tries to win them over for new sanctions. But this is the first time Clinton has publicly made the link between China’s energy security and the alarm over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration issued new rules on Friday that promise to improve insurance coverage of mental health care for more than 140 million people insured through their jobs.

In general, under the rules, employers and group health plans cannot provide less coverage for mental health care than for the treatment of physical conditions like cancer and heart disease.

Insurers cannot set higher co-payments and deductibles or stricter limits on treatment for mental illness and addiction disorders. Nor can they establish separate deductibles for mental health care and for the treatment of physical illnesses.

Such disparities are common in the insurance industry. By sweeping away such restrictions, doctors said, the rules will make it easier for people to obtain treatment for a wide range of conditions, including depression, autism, schizophrenia, eating disorders and alcohol and drug abuse.

For decades, many health plans have had limits on hospital inpatient days and outpatient visits for mental health treatments, but not for other types of care.

Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, said the rules guaranteed that people with debilitating mental disorders would not suffer “needless or arbitrary limits on their care.”

The rules, which take effect on July 1, carry out a 2008 law that was adopted with bipartisan support. They significantly expand the rights of people with mental illness, much of which goes untreated because of insurance restrictions.

KABUL — Members of the Taliban met with a U.N. official this month to discuss the possibility of face-to-face peace talks with the Afghan government, U.S. and U.N. officials said Friday.

The official, Kai Eide, the United Nations’ special representative in Afghanistan, met with a group of Taliban leaders in the days before this week’s international conference in London, where President Hamid Karzai invited the Taliban to

take part in peace talks.

“He wanted to test for himself the mind-set of some of the Taliban leaders,” said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was briefed by Eide on the talks. The discussions were confirmed by a U.N. official in Kabul.

Most of the important details of the meeting are unknown: exactly when and where the meeting took place; what, if anything, was agreed upon; and who represented the Taliban.

The talks between the Tal-

iban and Eide came at a time of stepped-up diplomatic activity over the war in Afghanistan.

Even as they pour in tens of thousands more troops into the country, American leaders have begun to search for a road that could lead to a political settlement with the Taliban’s leaders.

Afghan officials and U.S. commanders are preparing an ambitious plan to offer jobs and security to rank-and-file Taliban fighters in exchange for giving up the insurgency.

Federal regulators recall Walmart pendants as Disney bans cadmium

By Justin Pritchard The Associated Press

Federal consumer safety regulators on Friday announced the recall of “The Princess and The Frog” pendants sold at Walmart stores because of high levels of the toxic metal cadmium, an unprecedented action that reflects concerns of an emerging threat in children’s jewelry.

The recall affects two products, about 55,000 items in total, sold exclusively by the world’s biggest retailer for $5 each.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which disclosed the recall, had been testing for cadmium in children’s metal jewelry for several weeks in response to an Associ-

ated Press investigation that reported high levels of the known carcinogen in the Disney movie-themed pendants and other children’s metal jewelry imported from China.

The Walt Disney Co. released a letter Friday it sent its vendors and licensees that sets a zero-

tolerance policy for cadmium in any children’s jewelry bearing its brand.

That is far stricter than federal regulations, which not only don’t require testing for cadmium in children’s jewelry but also set no upper limit for how much a product can contain.

“China will be under a lot of pressure to recognize the destabilizing effect that a nucleararmed Iran would have” in the Persian Gulf, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday.

Cleric takes aim at opposition BEIRUT — A high-ranking Iranian cleric close to both supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sharpened the rhetoric against opposition supporters by giving religious credence for their killings in a fiery Friday prayer sermon.

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, head of the hard-line Guardian Council of jurists and clerics that ratified Ahmadinejad’s disputed June 12 re-election, likened the opposition to Jewish tribes who he said long ago defied the founder of Islam.

“The prophet Muhammad signed non-aggression pacts with three Jewish tribes,” he told supporters gathered for prayer at Tehran University. “The Jews failed to meet their commitments, and God ordered their massacre.”

Iran’s hard-line government, dominated by fundamentalist clergy and the Revolutionary Guard, fears a rekindling of widespread street protests coinciding with the Feb. 11 anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Americans embrace parts of other faiths, polls show

By Helen T. Gray McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Americans hold a hodgepodge of religious beliefs and practices.

Most (82 percent) of American adults believe in God, according to a recent Harris Poll.

And large numbers believe in miracles (76 percent), heaven (75 percent), that Jesus is God or the son of God (73 percent), in angels (72 percent), the survival of the soul after death (71 percent) and that Jesus was resurrected (70 percent).

But also 42 percent believe in ghosts, 32 percent in UFOs, 26 percent in astrology, 23 percent in witches and 20 percent in reincarnation.

A recent Pew Forum poll that focused more on religious practices and experiences revealed that “large numbers of Americans engage in multiple religious practices, blending elements of diverse traditions.” Many blend Christianity with Eastern or New Age beliefs.

More than a third (35 percent) of the public overall say they regularly (9 percent) or occasionally (26 percent) attend religious services at more than one place, and most of these (24 percent) say they sometimes attend services of a faith different from their own.

Of those who attend religious services at least once a week,

39 percent say they attend at multiple places, and 28 percent go to services outside their faith.

Nearly half of Americans (49 percent) say they have had a “religious or mystical experience,” twice as many as those responding in a 1962 Gallup survey (22 percent).

And 65 percent say they believe in or have experienced at least one of these supernatural phenomena: belief in reincarnation, belief in spiritual energy located in physical things, belief in yoga as a spiritual practice, belief in “the evil eye” (casting curses or evil spells), belief in astrology, having been in touch with the dead, having consulted a psychic or having experienced a ghostly encounter. Thirty-five percent of the public say they have not experienced any of these.

The polls are a further indication of a continuing trend of organized religion losing its grip, and a growing popularity of spirituality, said Tim Miller, professor of religious studies at the University of Kansas.

“There has been a decline in institutional religion, but at the same time independent spiritual experiences are going up,” he said. “So there is a shift from classic institutional religion into a more diverse and sometimes nebulous spiritual outlook.”

U.S. Shiites tentatively make a home in America

By Rachel Zoll The Associated Press

DEARBORN, Mich. — Sayyid Haider Bahar al-Uloom paces before his students seated in two neat rows — men in one, women in the other. They meet each week in a small but growing office in an old storefront downtown, its shelves lined with Arabic texts on Islamic jurisprudence.

Tonight’s lesson is on justice, but Bahar al-Uloom’s lecture ranges wide of Muslim teaching. He cites The Federalist Papers, slavery in U.S. history and spirituality in “The Audacity of Hope.” A 37-year-old Iraqi Shiite, he consumes books on American culture and religion, analyzing the work of mega-pastors Rick Warren, Joel Osteen and others, to learn their appeal.

“We should not fear introducing people to other ideas,” says Bahar al-Uloom, whose title sayyid is for those who trace their lineage to the Prophet Muhammad.

On this night in Michigan, he ends his lecture with the same message he brings to Shiite groups around the country: Your ideals, rooted in Islam, are not alien here.

“We call them Islamic values, but they are universal values,” he says in near accentless English. “If it’s a principle or act that would help all Americans, all I need to do is speak it in a language that is universal.”

Shiites constitute less than 15 percent of the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and an even smaller percentage of the Muslims in the U.S. Within the wider Muslim world, they are often persecuted for their beliefs and way of worship.

Islamic law governs even the smallest issues for devout Shiites. Can they wear cologne?

Listen to popular music? Sit at a table where alcohol is served?

New interpretations are needed for life in non-Muslim countries.

Culture changes Pious Shiites have seen threats to their faith from the permissive American way of life and what for many is their first experience of a non-Muslim government. Worried that voting or other civic involvement would violate Islamic law, many have opted instead to turn inward, focusing on preserving their traditions.

But the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terror strikes, the war in Iraq and other world events have prompted some significant changes in the U.S. Shiite community in recent years.

Shiite clerics and activists are pushing community members beyond the protective walls they built, encouraging them to fully embrace their American citizenship.

At the forefront of the effort is the nonprofit that Bahar alUloom helps represent, called I.M.A.M., which tells Shiites they can vote, participate in the 2010 U.S. Census and hold public office without abandoning their faith.

“In the United States, the law here is not against Islam,” said Sheik Mohammed el-Ali al-Halabi, a Syrian who came to the U.S. a decade ago, sitting in his bare-bones office at I.M.A.M. “I can be a good Muslim and a good American.”

Half a world away from Dearborn lies the inspiration for this drive, an unexpected source for dramatic change: an elderly holy man who rarely leaves his home in the old quarter of the Iraqi holy city of Najaf and who will probably never visit the United States.

Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani isn’t widely known in the U.S. outside public policy circles, but he should be. He is one of the most revered thinkers in global Shiism, a moderate in outlook and a powerful force in Iraq. His behind-the-scenes interventions were key to guiding the country’s fledgling democracy.

The grand ayatollah and his advisers lead lives dedicated to religious tradition, but they are also pioneers in using the Web

An underlying theme at AscentTV.net, being produced here in the lower level of the Imam Mahdi Association of Marajaeya in Dearborn, Mich., is that observant Shiites can find ways to fit into Western society. The shows are in English and include lectures on Islamic teaching, the importance of interfaith relations and discussion of workplace and family issues.

Jae C. Hong / The Associated Press

American Muslim religious leader Sayyid Mohammad Baqir Kashmiri runs the Imam Mahdi Association of Marjaeya, or I.M.A.M., in Dearborn. The organization’s lecturers and scholars crisscross the country to support fledgling Shiite institutions. to reach the globally dispersed faithful. They teach that good Muslims must be active citizens of whatever country they call home.

As Shiites emigrate around the world, al-Sistani sends his representatives along to guide them on how to remain devout in a foreign culture.

I.M.A.M., the Imam Mahdi Association of Marjaeya, is the liaison office in America for al-Sistani.

The organization’s lecturers and scholars crisscross the country to support fledgling Shiite institutions. Al-Sistani is far from the only marja, or toplevel religious authority, with American followers, but he is one of the most prominent, and through the Dearborn office, he is helping shape American Shiism.

“It’s kind of a status symbol that you are recognized and trusted by the office of the ayatollah,” said Liyakat Takim, author of “Shi’ism in America,” and professor at McMaster University in Canada. “It builds your credibility.”

I.M.A.M. opened a year ago under the leadership of Sayyid Mohammad Baqir Kashmiri, a cleric who works in Dearborn and Los Angeles on behalf of al-Sistani and his advisers.

The Dearborn area has the biggest concentration of Shiites in the United States. The city is home to the headquarters of Ford Motor Co., which started attracting Arab and Muslim immigrants in the early 1900s with above-average assembly line wages. Now, the city bordering Detroit is filled with mosques, Islamic schools, Lebanese restaurants and food markets that follow Islamic dietary laws.

Inside I.M.A.M., poster-size photos of al-Sistani and his late mentor, Ayatollah Sayyid Abdul-Qasim al-Khoei, hang above the office reception desk.

It is one of the rare portraits that the reclusive al-Sistani ever allowed of himself, as he, like many of the Dearborn staff and volunteers, consider it a sign of humility to avoid photographs of themselves.

Bahar al-Uloom, I.M.A.M.’s vice chairman, graduated from Dearborn’s public high school and Wayne State University,

but his seminary education has been by correspondence with scholars from Najaf, Iraq, and Qom, Iran — prominent centers of Shiite learning. For years, teachers mailed him sackfuls of cassette recordings of their lectures, which he would play in his car as he drove the streets around Dearborn.

Questions answered He and his cousin, Sayyid Hassan al-Hakim, a 26-year-old graduate student in public administration, often arrive early in the morning to study before the deluge of calls and e-mails with questions about Islamic law and requests for help. Staff cell phones buzz all day with questions sent by text.

“How far off can u be from the Qibla?” reads a query on alHakim’s cell phone, about facing in the proper direction, toward Mecca, for prayer.

Volunteers, mostly in their 20s and 30s, share computers crammed into a small room off the library. Among them are the editors and designers of I.M.A.M.’s glossy educational magazine, Reflections. They have a policy of publishing in English, except for religious references that require Arabic, to reach a younger generation of American Muslims, along with non-Muslims.

“Muslims should be essential participants in their respective societies while maintaining the beauty of Islam as their code of conduct,” reads a recent

article titled “Being American and Being Muslim.” Al-Sistani “is known to have repeatedly called for integration with preservation of identity,” the author writes.

The same article indirectly addresses the threat of extremism, condemning “so-called ‘Muslims’ who endanger innocent lives.” The author urges Muslims and non-Muslims to report any potential threats to civil authorities and “hold fast to the principles of Islam and protect those around them.”

In the spirit of the Najaf scholars, and their embrace of new technology and thinking, I.M.A.M. uses contemporary management tools to aid its cause.

Bahar al-Uloom quotes from the corporate success book “Good to Great.” Al-Hakim collects evaluation forms for feedback on programming. The office uses customer service software to monitor response time for calls to 1-888-SISTANI, the toll-free line.

In side rooms, al-Halabi and other clerics offer counseling on personal and religious issues. Sayyid Mehdi al-Ameen, a resident scholar at I.M.A.M., had been a judge in a religious court in Lebanon, hearing cases on divorce, child custody and other issues. Three days a week he teaches a class on ethics and another on the Quran, and provides marriage counseling.

Down a winding staircase into the basement is the organization’s video production arm, AscentTV.net. It was created by Aous Asfar, a veteran branding executive, and targets young people under age 35. The shows are in English and include lectures on Islamic teaching, the importance of interfaith relations, and discussion of workplace and family issues.

An underlying theme of the shows is that observant Shiites can find ways to fit into Western society. On a program for young professionals, Wissam Bazzi, a 34-year-old who works at AscentTV, holds out his right arm to show how men can create a personal safe zone — two or three arm lengths — to avoid being drawn into a handshake or hug with a female co-worker.

“They don’t have to feel like outsiders,” says Asfar, a Canadian of Iraqi descent.

“At some point, you have to step back and say, ‘This is your mother, this is family, this is blood.’ And this is what you do when they have something bad happen to them.”

— Matt Ley, who has been helping his mother pay her bills since she lost her job

Lending Continued from A1 But borrowing from others can be complicated. In interviews, more than two dozen unemployed adults who had borrowed from family or friends said the act of asking, even in these hard times, is often humbling; some even called it humiliating. It can be equally stressful for lenders, many of whom are also on shaky financial footing and can barely afford to extend a small amount — especially when loans turn into gifts.

“I think money changes everything,” said Matt Ley, of Seattle. “It’s a cliche, but when you lend money to a friend, when you lend money to family, it changes things.”

By Jesse McKinley New York Times News Service

Bad situations many borrowers More than half of the respondents to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll of 708 unemployed adults nationwide said they had borrowed money from friends or relatives. In most cases, their financial pictures were bleak. Nearly 80 percent of those who reported borrowing money said their family’s financial situation was “fairly bad” or “very bad,” a significantly greater proportion than among those who had not had to borrow.

Nearly 40 percent of those who had been lent money received food stamps, compared with just 13 percent of those who had not.

Younger unemployed adults were more likely to borrow money — 61 percent of those younger than 45 said they had.

But more than a third of those older than 45 had as well.

For adult children borrowing from parents — by far the most common occurrence among those interviewed — the act often meant acknowledging an uneasy dependence that many thought they had escaped long ago.

“Here I am, 38, and having to ask for help from my parents is just belittling,” said Matt Gibbons, of Kingsport, Tenn., who has accepted more than $2,000 from his mother to cover his bills since losing his job at a home improvement company in early 2008.

John Morris, 36, of Chicago, had to go to the emergency room recently with a leg infection. Without health insurance after losing his job a year and a half ago, he applied for charity care from the hospital. But he still needed about $300 for antibiotics after being discharged.

Morris waited 2½ days before finally summoning the nerve to call his father, Rich, who had already lent him money for an emergency car repair.

Rich Morris, who recently retired, eventually wired the money but only after checking some accounts to make sure he had enough.

“It’s not like we have hundreds of thousands of dollars ly-

Farms Continued from A1 After other planning commissioners objected, the commission did not send Brown’s letter to the County Commission.

But it raised questions that come up often in county land use cases, such as when people recently sought the right to hold weddings and other events on farmland: can farmers still earn a living in Deschutes County, and should the county and state open the door to more activities and development on farmland?

The Planning Commission is still working on the destination resort zone update and will meet at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 11 and 25, Brown said.

“We have to broaden what a farm or ranch can do to generate income,” Brown said Friday.

“The letter I wrote as a draft to precipitate discussion, which it did.”

“I am for relaxing the strictness that is dictated in the code right now.”

Deschutes County principal planner Kevin Harrison said county officials have control over county destination resort rules adopted in the 1990s, but most of the other laws on what people can do on farmland come from the state.

Matt Ley and his wife, Sandy Brown, prepare a snack for their daughter Josie, 2, earlier this month at their home in Seattle. They have been helping his mother pay her bills since she lost her job in June 2008. “I think money changes everything,” Matt Ley says. “It’s a cliche, but when you lend money to a friend, when you lend money to family, it changes things.” this and I wasn’t trying to get a handout,” she said.

Some borrowers have exhausted their unemployment benefits, while others did not qualify in the first place. Even among those who have been able to draw benefits, like Ley, it is frequently not enough.

Family tension

Jean Ley, who lost her job in June 2008, strolls on the beach near her home in Warrenton. “If my family weren’t able to help me out at this point, I wouldn’t have a home,” she says. ing around in a slush fund that you can pull out and do these types of things,” Rich Morris said.

What became clear from interviews is that borrowing from family or friends is often done only with great reluctance.

Last resort Carlethaus Hopper, 35, of Sacramento was laid off from his job as a welder in September 2008. A few months later, his wife, Lura, 50, lost her position as a ticket clerk for Amtrak.

They started pawning jewelry, even their wedding rings.

But when they received a notice threatening them with eviction if they did not immediately pay the back monthly rent of $1,025, they had no recourse but to ask Hopper’s 82-year-old father.

Since then, the couple has turned to Hopper’s father two more times, borrowing more than $3,000. Hopper also recently borrowed $2,000 from an

“I don’t know that this kind of feedback is more prevalent now,” said Harrison. “I think it’s fair to say that exclusive farm use zoning has been perhaps the most controversial and the most litigated aspect of the statewide planning program.” The state implemented the program in 1973.

Planning officials split One of the planning commissioners in favor of easing land use rules for farmland is Keith Cyrus, from a well-known farming family east of Sisters. The family has developed home sites, a golf course and clubhouse east of Sisters, and tried unsuccessfully to convert the development into a destination resort.

In 1987, they began to develop their land and moved away from growing seed potatoes, mint and wheat.

“Farming is our roots, our base,” Cyrus said. “The development we’ve been involved with was an attempt to make something really nice out of a property that was destined to be another 10-acre subdivision.”

Cyrus, who has recused himself from decisions related to destination resorts, said planning commissioners are going to try to loosen development restrictions on farmland. “We’ve been

old friend to pay for medication.

“I had already pawned everything I could pawn,” she said.

In most cases, according to interviews, repayment is left open-ended, given how bleak the odds of re-employment remain. Interest is usually not part of the agreement. Some lenders said they did not even expect to be repaid. But the borrowers often insist that they will as a matter of pride.

After Christine Oxley, 56, and her husband lost their jobs at a nonprofit trade association in 2008, Oxley drew up a legal contract when she was forced to go to an elderly great-aunt for $40,000 after her husband had a heart attack and was hospitalized without health insurance.

Some portion of the money was eventually going to be directed the Oxleys way in an inheritance, but Oxley insisted upon a formal agreement that required repayment within five years.

“I wanted her to know I wasn’t going to walk away from

criticized by the Sierra Club because we’re pro-private property rights,” Cyrus said. “I think that’s a compliment. … I think the Planning Commission is pretty much of a frame of mind that we need to resolve some of these issues.”

Not everyone on the Planning Commission agrees, however.

Planning Commissioner Susan Quatre said farmland needs to be protected.

“I do know there’s an interest on the Planning Commission among some of the people … that they’re strongly property rights people and believe if you buy a piece of land, you should be able to do what you want with it,” Quatre said.

“I hear that you can’t make a living in today’s economy on this farmland that we’ve got. … But my problem is I don’t want to see permanent changes made to this land that are irreversible.”

Planning Commissioner Ed Criss said he opposes destination resorts but wonders if some farmland is classified incorrectly. “I can see where both sides are lining up on this, and I’m kind of in the middle,” Criss said.

What the farmers say Gary Nelson, 67, and Carolee Nelson, 66, grew potatoes and hay on their 80 acres northeast of Bend until four years ago.

The Leys’ situation was complicated by the fact that Matt Ley and his wife, Sandy Brown, had lent his mother money to pay legal bills and other expenses when she went through a messy separation from a partner several years ago that depleted her savings. The assistance became a source of tension in her son’s marriage, prompting Ley and his wife to seek the help of a therapist.

“Emotionally, we had to readjust,” said Brown, who works part time as a lawyer. “How do we communicate in our marriage about this difficult issue without making anyone feel bad?”

This time, Ley provided the couple with a detailed budget of how she was spending her money, down to cat food and hair cuts, proving her frugality.

Still, the $750 a month for the mortgage on her small modular home, along with some other bills, was not insignificant, even for a couple with means, forcing them to set aside other priorities. Matt Ley, who is a commercial banker, said the exchange of money has pushed him and his mother apart in subtle ways. But he tries to maintain perspective.

“At some point, you have to step back and say, ‘This is your mother, this is family, this is blood,’” Ley said. “And this is what you do when they have something bad happen to them.”

“Agriculture as we knew it was dead, in a lot of the country but here especially,” Gary Nelson said. “We used to sell potatoes to the stores in Bend. Things changed, and everything got bigger and stores got to where they were no longer interested in local product.”

“If farming was good, that would be the best use for the land and the market would dictate that,” Nelson said. “As far as I’m concerned, the best use of the land anymore is to build on it.”

Gigi Meyer is one of the farmers in Deschutes County who believes agriculture has a future in the area, although she believes the county and state could help farmers be more successful by loosening some land use rules. Meyer, 50, owns the 10-acre Windflower Farm in the Alfalfa area, east of Bend. Meyer has grown vegetables, herbs and fruits for her community supported agriculture business, or CSA, for three years. CSAs are farms where customers pay to receive regular installments of produce and other food, such as a weekly bag of whatever fruits and vegetables are in season.

Meyer has 40 customers and a waiting list of 40 more who want to receive her produce, flowers and eggs.

“I am still trying to break even, and I’m hoping this year that I

SAN FRANCISCO — In one small step for preservation and one giant leap of logic, the official historical commission of California voted Friday to protect two small urine collection devices, four space-sickness bags and dozens of other pieces of detritus, all currently residing nearly a quarter of a million miles from the state.

This is not a joke. I repeat, Houston, not a joke.

Saying it wanted to raise awareness of both the state’s cosmic contribution to the Apollo 11 moon mission and the potential threats from lunar interlopers, the California State Historical Resources Commission voted unanimously to designate more than 100 pieces of space trash, scientific apparatus and commemorative tokens to its list of protected resources.

Milford Wayne Donaldson, the state historic preservation officer, said the reasoning behind the first-of-its-kind designation was simple: Scores of California companies worked on the Apollo mission, and much of their handiwork remains of major historical value to the state, regardless of where it is now or what it was for used for then.

“It has a significance that goes way further than whether it came from a quarter million miles away or not,” Donaldson said. “They are all parts of the event.”

While Apollo 11 was indeed a landmark mission — during which Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon and he and Buzz Aldrin apparently ditched their boots — it wasn’t exactly tidy. Worried about the weight of their landing capsule, the harried lunar explorers left behind tons

of trash, including empty food bags, electrical equipment and, yes, several receptacles meant for bodily waste.

There is also a collection of artifacts of historical note and emotion: Armstrong’s footprint, for example, and a U.S. flag. Apollo 11 also left behind a mission patch from Apollo 1, in which three astronauts died in a fire, and a message from world leaders.

And while some of the garbage might seem like, well, garbage, California is just one of several states seeking protection for the items in the face of possible lunar missions by other nations as well as a budding space tourism industry.

In New Mexico, home to early Apollo test sites like the White Sands Missile Range, a similar measure is expected to be considered by a state committee in April.

Beth O’Leary, an assistant professor of anthropology at New Mexico State University and an expert in “lunar archeology,” said she had screamed with delight when she heard the news from California. But she admitted that persuading people to safeguard Apollo’s space junk was often a challenge, if only because it is on — you know — the moon.

“I don’t think anyone argues with it being a major event in the history for humanity, right up there with the invention of fire,” O’Leary said. “But people don’t tend to think of it as something we need to be protecting.”

So for the last decade, she and other historians and archeologists have been pushing for protection through their Lunar Legacy Project, which has an inventory of items left behind at Tranquility Base where the astronauts landed in July 1969.

The shadow of Neil Armstrong falls on Tranquility Base, where the first moon landing took place, in this 1969 NASA photo.

do,” Meyer said.

“I know there’s a movement afoot, that people want to kind of open the door and let the flood gates flow and have all kinds of residential development or resort development on farmland.

I think that would be a grave mistake.”

Yet Meyer also wants some changes to county land use rules, which she says would make it easier for people to run successful agricultural businesses. She said it would help small farmers such as herself if the county would change zoning to allow housing for employees on all sizes of land, if it is in agricultural production. Larger farm properties can build employee housing, but Meyer said county land use rules do not allow for it on her 10-acre parcel.

Farm zoning should also be loosened to allow for “agri-tourism,” Meyer said. A bicycling club in Bend wants to come have lunch at the farm and learn about the operation, and Meyer would like to have tourists stay at the farm to observe how a CSA works. Both of those activities are not allowed under current county rules, she said.

Jim Fields, 54, has farmed for 28 years and runs a successful CSA program from his farm in Bend, where he cultivates 5 acres.

Small-scale farming works for

Fields, but he said some land in Central Oregon was incorrectly classified as farmland simply because it was irrigated.

Fields attributed his success to the model of selling directly to his customers, and said it is more difficult to earn a living selling crops wholesale. “The real benefit to the world would be if there were more small farms around,” Fields said. “If money isn’t the most important thing in the world and you do love being outside with animals, Central Oregon is a really good place. …

In Deschutes County, we have very sandy soils and they can be improved with compost.”

Local agriculture is getting a boost from small farmers, who sell their products at farmers markets and through CSAs, said Dana Martin, small farms agent for the Oregon State University Extension Service in Deschutes County.

“I’m excited about it,” Martin said. “I’m talking to more farmers who are interest in getting into producing foods. … They would love to do it full time, and so they’re going that way. It’s hard to do at this point, so many are supplementing with nonfarm income.”

Pensions Continued from A1 In effect, a tiny difference in an agency’s retirement fund health could trigger dropping off a rate-hike cliff.

That cliff is now a slope under the board’s new rate plan.

Employers who are 70 percent funded still face a 6 percent increase but those funded above that up to an 80 percent level will benefit from a sort of sliding scale decrease, up to a 3 percent rate hike.

The change will affect all school districts and most local governments to varying degrees, PERS officials say. How much is yet to be seen, as new rates for the 2011-13 biennium will not be finalized until September.

On Friday afternoon, local officials said they had not had time to figure out how the change will affect them.

Nor is it clear how recent economic news will affect things.

The PERS fund’s investments had a great month in December, jumping the PERS fund’s overall value by about 4 percent. As a result, many of the employers that’d been warned of 6 percent rate hikes toward the end of last year now face a 3 percent hike or less. That’s because the boost in the fund’s value means their retirement obligations now are more than 80 percent funded.

Some local officials noted that under what amounts to a pay now or pay later PERS situation, the new rate-hike system will only delay the tab for covering the fund’s investment losses.

Most officials, however, said they’ll take any good news they can get.

“It’s just essentially a little short-term relief on the front end,” said Julianne Repman, spokeswoman for Bend-La Pine Schools.

The district had faced an increase of as much as $7 million

in 2011. Repman noted that the long-term hit to the district’s budget probably won’t change much, but added: “Every little bit helps, and we’re thankful to the board for their consideration of the impacts.”

In Bend, the city currently spends about $4.2 million per year on PERS and had expected to pay an additional $2 million beginning next year, or about 25 percent of payroll. City Manager Eric King said he hadn’t had time to look at the changes to see whether the city’s situation will change significantly under the new PERS rules.

Both Deschutes County and Jefferson County have been building up reserve funds in anticipation of the PERS hit. So officials in both jurisdictions said the change won’t mean much for them.

“A lower rate increase would simply mean we would have to use less of our reserves and our reserves would last longer,” said Deschutes County Administrator Dave Kanner.

The city of Redmond had been planning for an increase of more than 6 percent, according to Human Resources Director Sharon Harris.

Harris wasn’t certain how much money the new plan could save the city in 2011-13 but said lowering the initial impact was good news.

“If they reduce it, that’s going to help us budget,” Harris said.

“Is it still going to be a hit? Yeah, we’ll still have to plan for it.”

Kathy Gray, Crook County treasurer, said the county has only a small number of law enforcement personnel in the PERS system, so the change “doesn’t have a large impact on us.”

China angered Southeastern U.S. as U.S. OKs arms gets ready for storm sale to Taiwan

By Erik Schelzig

The Associated Press

By Helene Cooper New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has approved an arms sale to Taiwan worth more than $6 billion, a move that has enraged China and may complicate President Barack Obama’s effort to enlist Beijing’s cooperation on Iran.

The administration deferred a decision on selling F-16 fighter planes to Taiwan, administration officials said, but pointedly added that they were not shutting the door to future F-16 sales.

The last time the United States sold F-16s to Taiwan was in 1992 under President George H.W. Bush. In response, China threatened to withdraw from international arms control talks and retaliated, many China experts contend, by selling mediumrange missiles to Pakistan.

“We continue to study it,” a senior administration official said of the possible F-16 sales.

“We will look at it from the perspective of what its impact would be on Taiwan’s air defense capability.”

The arms package announced Friday is primarily defensive, and includes 114 Patriot missiles worth $2.82 billion, 60 Black Hawk helicopters worth $3.1 billion and communications equipment for Taiwan’s F-16 fleet. The package also includes Harpoon missiles and mine-hunting ships, the Defense Cooperation Security Agency said in a statement.

The Chinese reaction was

swift, and negative. China’s vice foreign minister, He Yafei, issued a diplomatic message to the State Department expressing his “indignation” over the pending sale, said Wang Baoding, the spokesman at the Chinese Embassy in Washington.

“We believe this move endangers China’s national security and harms China’s peaceful reunification efforts,” Wang said in an interview. “It will harm China-U.S. relations and bring about a serious and active impact on bilateral communication and cooperation.”

China experts said that Beijing was likely to cut off militaryto-military cooperation with the United States in retaliation, and that President Hu Jintao might boycott Obama’s planned nuclear security summit meeting in April.

The relationship between the two countries may deteriorate more if Obama meets, as he is expected to, with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

Obama put off meeting with the Dalai Lama last year to avoid angering Beijing before his visit to China in November, a decision that received strong criticism from human rights activists.

Gen. James Jones, the national security adviser, said Friday that the announcement should not “come as a surprise to our Chinese friends,” adding that the Obama administration was “bent on a new relationship with China that goes beyond arms sales to Taiwan.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Southeastern U.S. was next in line for icy roads and snowy landscapes as a storm pushed eastward Friday after knocking out power to tens of thousands and closing highways in the Midwest and Southern Plains.

The heaviest snow, possibly up to a foot, was predicted in Arkansas near the Missouri state line, northern Tennessee near the Kentucky and Virginia borders and western North Carolina, according to the National Weather Service.

Mark Rose, a forecaster with the weather service’s Nashville office, called it “a major winter

Desert Continued from A1 Among those indicted are loan officers, mortgage brokers and bank employees who worked from the inside to help the deals go through, according to the charges against them.

Along with his guilty plea, Wilson, of Murrells Inlet, S.C., filed a document detailing his participation in a residential real estate investment program for Desert Sun employees that was offered in lieu of a 401(k) plan.

The program allowed Desert Sun employees to either buy an existing home from the company or contract with Desert Sun to build them a new home at cost. Desert Sun agreed to make the help with down payments, taxes and mortgage payments until participants could flip the houses.

In exchange, the employees agreed to split the profits with Desert Sun. In 2006, Desert Sun made this offer to Wilson as an enticement to get him to join the company and move to Bend from South Carolina.

In early 2007, Wilson signed his wife’s name to loan documents and paid $112,000 at closing with Desert Sun money, though he told his lender the cash was his, according to documents filed with his guilty plea.

Within a few months, the Wilsons realized they could not make their loan payments and applied to refinance. Desert Sun again gave the Wilsons money — $72,000 — to make it appear as though their bank balance was enough to

storm for this part of the country — heck, for any part of it.”

The Weather Service warned that icy roads and downed power lines were likely after snow changed to freezing rain Friday night over western Tennessee and northeastern Arkansas.

With temperatures expected to remain below freezing through the weekend, a fresh coating of ice was possible over the area, the Weather Service reported, with a concentration of ice likely along the Interstate 40 corridor.

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen declared a state of emergency and state workers were sent home around lunch ahead of the worsening weather.

qualify for the refinancing.

In May 2007, Wilson signed documents saying his wife was a Desert Sun employee earning $15,000 each month, although she was not employed by the company, and again received $47,000 from Desert Sun to pay for closing costs.

Ultimately, the Wilsons defaulted on the loan and the bank repossessed their Redmond home. As part of his guilty plea, Wilson agreed that he was responsible for a $360,000 loss to the lender.

Wilson has “agreed to cooperate with the government” in the prosecution of the Desert Sun cases, said Gerri Badden, of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The maximum penalty for bank fraud is 30 years in prison and a $100,000 fine, but Wilson’s cooperation will be considered at his sentencing, which has not been scheduled, Badden said.

The federal cases against Fitzsimons, Egeland and the others involve charges including conspiracy, bank fraud and money laundering relating to the employee real estate investment program as well as commercial construction loans. The indictments allege the group obtained about $19 million in loans for commercial construction at Bend and Redmond properties that was never done.

Those cases are set for trial on May 12.

Toyota models that have been withdrawn for sale, identified by stickers on the windshield or by a single windshield wiper pointing skyward, sit at a storage lot for Keyes Toyota in the Van Nuys area of Los Angeles. Several dealers have been telling customers that repairs could begin early next week, based on an e-mail from Bob Carter, the Toyota group vice president and general manager, but other statements from the company indicate it still is working out the details to fixing the problem.

Toyota Continued from A1 “We had somebody park the car, leave the keys and say ‘When you can fix it, call me. I’ll come pick it up.’”

The anxiety among drivers came three days after Toyota Motor Corp. took the unprecedented step of halting sales and production of eight models — including its best-selling Camry and Corolla lines — while it struggled to diagnose the problem behind sticky gas pedals that can cause vehicles to accelerate suddenly.

Such problems have been blamed in at least 19 deaths and numerous injuries over the last decade, prompting Toyota to launch two recalls in the U.S.

9 million cars The reverberations continued Friday as Toyota announced that a European recall could include up to 1.8 million cars, pushing the global total to 9 million, or as many vehicles as sold by all U.S. automakers last year.

In his first public comments on the matter, Toyota’s chief executive apologized Friday to Toyota owners.

“We’re extremely sorry to have made customers uneasy,” Akio Toyoda told a Japanese TV station at an economic forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We plan to establish the facts and give an explanation that will restore confidence as soon as possible.”

It was unclear Friday how and when Toyota might fix the pedals.

In an e-mail to dealers Thursday, Bob Carter, Toyota group vice president and general manager, said the carmaker had “identified the cause of the problem” and “presented a remedy” to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Based on that assurance, several dealers said they’ve been telling customers that repairs could begin as early next week.

The carmaker said Friday that “no final decisions have been made” about whether to attempt to fix existing pedals or replace them with new ones.

Toyota plans early next week “to clarify what we’re doing and when,” said spokesman Brian Lyons. “We’re working out the details, making sure that our t’s are crossed and the i’s dotted.”

Beyond denting the automaker’s carefully crafted image as a maker of dependable vehicles, the mechanical woes are inconveniencing millions of car owners and posing a serious financial threat to Toyota dealers.

Car owners said they were dismayed by the potential safety issue, with many expressing frustration at what they see as a lack of information about the nature of the problems and the timetable for remedying them.

Erika Nadaud, 41, a psychologist and homemaker in Knoxville, Tenn., bought a $57,000 Toyota Sequoia with her husband an hour before Toyota announced its most recent recall last week.

She returned to the dealership the next day for answers, and was assured by a salesperson that “it was no big deal,” Nadaud said. She became extremely concerned, she said, after the sales suspension.

“At this point, we’re feeling pretty frustrated,” she said. “I don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but it sounds like the problem is larger than we had initially been led to believe.”

Financial pinch The financial effect of the sales halt is rippling through dealerships across Southern California, which already were grappling with soft sales amid a troubled economy and high unemployment.

Nationwide, Toyota’s 1,234 dealers stand to lose a collective $2.5 billion in revenue each month that sales are suspended, according to an estimate from the National Automobile Dealers Association.

Each dealership would lose between $1.75 million to $2 million, according to the group. There are 134 Toyota dealers in California.

The suspended models comprise 56 percent of sales for new vehicles and 30 percent for used cars.

“There was an awful lot of financial stress on dealers before this happened, and this makes an already bad situation much, much worse,” said David Hyatt, a NADA spokesman.

Automotive Web site Edmunds .com said Friday that it expects Toyota’s market share to fall to 14.7 percent in January from 18.3

percent last month and the lowest point since its 14.2 percent market share in March 2006.

And also on Friday, Consumer Reports magazine temporarily suspended its “recommended” status for the eight Toyota models recalled in the U.S., and advised buyers looking for used cars to avoid purchasing the affected vehicles for now.

“We continue to feel these are fundamentally good cars,” said David Champion, director of the magazine’s Auto Test Center. “We took this step simply because we did not feel comfortable continuing to recommend them until the accelerator problem is fixed.”

Toyota Pasadena, a mid-sized dealership, is getting about 125 calls a day from customers with another 30 to 50 people driving in looking for answers, said owner John Symes.

He’s designated two employees to handle questions and, like many other dealerships, is giving free car inspections for owners who are particularly troubled, Symes said.

“Without telling people that their accelerator won’t stick, for people who are concerned, we inspect the problem and we can tell if there’s no excessive wear,” he said.

The true test of the effect on dealers will begin Saturday when most car buyers descend on dealerships.

Haitians tire of waiting, start their own rebuilding

By Alexander G. Higgins The Associated Press

DAVOS, Switzerland — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will donate $10 billion over the next decade to research new vaccines and bring them to the world’s poorest countries, the Microsoft co-founder and his wife said Friday.

Calling upon governments and business to also contribute, they said the money will produce higher immunization rates and aims to make sure that 90 percent of children are immunized against dangerous diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia in poorer nations.

“We must make this the decade of vaccines,” Bill Gates said in a statement. “Vaccines already save and improve millions of lives in developing countries. Innovation will make it possible to save more children than ever before.”

By Paisley Dodds The Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Defying pleas to wait for Haiti’s reconstruction, families lugged heavy bundles of wood and tin up hillsides Friday to do the unthinkable: build new homes on top of old ones devastated in the earthquake.

The defiance reflects growing anger and frustration among Haitians who complain that their leaders — and any rebuilding plans — are absent more than two weeks after the Jan. 12 earthquake.

Few tents have been supplied, rubble remains strewn in many streets, and signs begging for help dot nearly every street corner.

It could take another month to get the 200,000 tents needed for Haiti’s homeless, said Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue, the culture and communications minister.

In the concrete slum of Canape Vert, an area devastated by the quake, dozens of people were pooling their labor and getting on with rebuilding.

“I have 44 years’ worth of memories in this house,” said Noel Marie Jose, 44, whose family was reinforcing crumbling walls with tin and wood.

“I got married here. I met my husband here. My mother braided my hair there where these walls used to stand. Even if it’s unsafe, I can’t imagine leaving. Even if the government helps, it will come too late. This is how it is in Haiti.”

Reconstruction, resettlement and land titles are all priorities of the government of President Rene Preval — but so far in name only.

The government has been nearly paralyzed by the quake — its own infrastructure, including the National Palace, was destroyed — and so far it has been limited to appeals for foreign aid and meetings with foreign donors that have yet to produce detailed plans for the emergencies it confronts.

Gates pledges $10 billion to research new vaccines

There to help, but finding it hard to do

By Dana Hedgpeth The Washington Post

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Capt. Edward Kim and his 100 troops camp out on what was the tennis court of the National Palace, destroyed in the earthquake two weeks ago. When out on the streets of this devastated city, they wear their rifles slung behind their backs to show they’re here not to guard but to help.

But helping remains hard.

For many U.S. soldiers, assisting the homeless and injured is taking more time and patience than they had expected. Some of their supplies, including trucks, are still not here, forcing dif-

ferent units to share what they have. Many units were stalled for up to three days on a grassy field next to the airport, awaiting orders for where to go and what to do. As units finally filter out to establish smaller bases in neighborhoods, they are gradually figuring out what people need and how to get it to them.

None of it is easy. Crowds overwhelm food distribution points. Soldiers trying to deliver supplies run into bumper-tobumper traffic; traveling two miles can take an hour. Amid all of this are the anguished people of Haiti the soldiers are trying to help.

“It is hard for us to look at

those people,” said Kim, eyeing the encampment of 2,000 people just outside the palace compound. “We’re trying to push out food and water as fast as we can, but it’s a logistical nightmare.”

One day earlier this week, Kim, of Tacoma, Wash., waited more than five hours for three of his trucks and a platoon of his men from the 82nd Airborne Division to get back from helping secure a medical facility for a visit from a VIP. The wait prevented him from sending out other troops to deliver 400 meals and left the waiting soldiers in their camp playing cards and sleeping.

Gates said the commitment more than doubles the $4.5 billion the foundation has given to vaccine research over the years.

The foundation said up to 7.6 million children younger than 5 could be saved through 2019 as a result of the donation.

It also estimates that an additional 1.1 million kids would be saved if a malaria vaccine can be introduced by 2014. A tuberculosis vaccine would prevent even more deaths.

Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organization, called the Gates contribution unprecedented and urged governments and private donors to add to the initiative.

“An additional 2 million deaths in children under 5 years could be prevented by 2015 through widespread use of new vaccines and a 10 percent increase in global vaccination coverage,” Chan said.

W B Israel considers new inquiry into army

Bin Laden blames U.S. on climate change

JERUSALEM — Even as it defended its handling of last year’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials said Friday that the government was considering heeding international calls to open a new inquiry into its army’s actions.

Officials cautioned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made no final decision and that his Cabinet remained divided.

Until now, Israel has flatly rejected calls for an independent probe and insisted that its own internal military investigation into the Gaza operation was sufficient. That inquiry found that Israel took strong measures to limit civilian causalities, though it acknowledged some cases of civilians being killed by mistake.

Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida, blamed the United States and developed countries for not halting climate change and said that the global economy should immediately abandon its reliance on the American dollar, according to an audiotape released Friday by Al-Jazeera.

“Talk about climate change is not an ideological luxury but a reality,” bin Laden was quoted as saying in a report on Al-Jazeera’s Web site. “All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis.”

The authenticity of the tape could not be immediately confirmed, and Al-Jazeera did not say how it had obtained the message.

Hundreds of fans were left without another option to see Mortenson, who has made his name building schools for the impoverished in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

They have one now.

“We had in excess of 300 voice messages and e-mails from disappointed people,” says Karen Aylward of the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program. “So we set this option up.”

“This option” is a second shot at seeing Mortenson, live if not altogether in the flesh. On Feb. 8, at 7:30 a.m., the Central Oregon Community College box office will begin selling 340 tickets to catch Mortenson’s talk, “Building Peace

in Pakistan and Afghanistan … One School at a Time,” live via video feed to a 12-foot plasma screen set up in the Bend High School Commons.

Tickets will sell for $10, and Aylward expects they will, like those for the live presentation, will sell out quickly.

Those who attend the live-feed viewing will also have the opportunity to meet Mortenson in person after the program at his book signing (see “If you go”).

Mortenson’s story has become well-known since the publication of “Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations One School at a Time.”

AKRON, Ohio — Ashley Robinson read aloud to the cooing newborn in her arms. For weeks, the 18-year-old had been in training, with the help of a real family, to become a nanny.

While she’d had lots of experience watching her younger siblings, there’s a world of difference between a family obligation and taking care of the everyday needs of youngsters as a chosen profession.

Teenager is bewildered Lose yourself in ‘Lost,’ or get lost by parents’ short fuses

Dear Abby: My parents just aren’t “there” for me anymore. I need to be able to go to them for advice, but now I can’t. They get mad when I ask them for help on anything. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I mean, I cook, clean, help around the house, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Please don’t get me wrong.

I love my parents, but they get mad so easily. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re aging — they are 44 and 46 — or if it’s something I have done. I also feel like they aren’t being fair to me because my siblings, who are younger AND older than I am, get more privileges than I do.

I just want a better relationship with my parents, the kind I had when I was younger. I mean, I haven’t changed. (I only changed fashions. Like, I dress better and stuff.) Oh, and in case you’re wondering, my parents don’t drink or smoke.

So how do I talk to them in a way they will understand and consider thinking about my feelings without getting mad?

Dear Teen: You may not be doing anything wrong. Many adults are under pressure in the workplace and/or financially — which can make them appear to be short-tempered and distracted. Your parents may also be trying to encourage you to think independently or be less reliant on them for advice. Maybe you should ask your parents what’s wrong.

I don’t know them, but at 44 and 46, I am sure their problem isn’t “aging” because they are in the prime of their lives. However, if their problem is stress-related, the next time you want to discuss something serious, try it about an hour after dinner when they are relaxed and not distracted,

NEW YORK — You got a sense of how “Lost” ranks in the scheme of things when President Barack Obama saw it coming — and blinked.

Sure, this wasn’t exactly a showdown between the leader of the free world (with his State of the Union address) and a TV series about people on an island.

But Obama could have scheduled his annual address for, say, this coming Tuesday night if he’d wanted to — the same night “Lost” was already scheduled by ABC to start its final season — which would have left millions of “Lost” fans wondering where the island went this time.

Despite fans fretting that such a bit of presidential oneupmanship might actually happen, Obama saw fit to do his State of the Union address a week before.

And, like it was always intended, “Lost” will do its thing Tuesday at 8 p.m. “Lost” fans can take satisfaction, however fanciful, that, instead of someone moving the island, Obama moved his speech.

Make no mistake, this is a big deal to “Lost” fans: the beginning of the end of an epic mystery-thriller-what-haveyou after six thrilling, mystical seasons.

Just 18 episodes remain, after which the series, and a certain brand of national obsession, will be over. The vast “Lost” lore — or most of it, or a teeny-weeny smidgen, at least — will finally make sense.

Or not.

You remember how last season ended. Jack (Matthew Fox) deployed a nuclear warhead that, if things went as he hoped, would rewrite history by destroying a huge pocket of electromagnetic energy that may have been responsible for pulling Oceanic Airlines

In short, if this scheme worked, Flight 815 would have made it to Los Angeles as scheduled, while the show would have instantly been zeroed out. Then, like an M.C. Escher drawing, “Lost” would have disappeared into itself, or so it seems, and for the rest of the coming season, ABC would have to air something else. (Jimmy Kimmel in prime time?)

Another of the weird things you may recall from the finale: Locke (Terry O’Quinn) had an unprecedented audience with the never-before-seen uber-boss of the island, Jacob. But at the same time the meeting took place, a corpse that looked remarkably like Locke was lying on the beach in pasty-faced repose.

Can anyone on “Lost” coexist both living and dead? Was the other, walking-talking “Locke” some sort of impressionist just doing a really good imitation of O’Quinn? And does he ever play

Vegas?

Questions like that have been piling up and preying on “Lost” fans ever since.

Fair warning! Now that a new season is here with a final infusion of fodder, speculation among “Lost” faithful could be rising to an unprecedented pitch — and pushing the patience of “Lost” nonobservers to the breaking point.

Consider a video spoof on The Onion’s Web site, which cautions that the “final season of ‘Lost’ promises to make fans more annoying than ever.”

“Do you think the show can REALLY surpass how incredibly aggravating the fans were LAST season?” the Onion News Network anchor asks his entertainment reporter. “Is that even possible?”

“No one knows for sure,” she replies chirpily, “but the show’s producers are confident.”

So are officials around the country. According to The Onion, cities including Chicago and Seattle are convinced “that fans will be so much worse than previous years, they’ve already announced they’ll be providing shelter Tuesday nights for anyone unlucky enough to be living with a ‘Lost’ fan.”

No doubt about it: “Lost” really gets its believers revved up.

In this week’s Newsweek magazine, columnist Joshua Alston writes that “more than anything else — and more than any other acclaimed show ever on television — ‘Lost’ is a show about faith.”

Pee-wee Herman interacts with members of the audience following his stage show this week at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.

Pee-wee Herman’s nightly mea culpa

By David Ng Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — When a celebrity has to apologize to the public, the protocol in Hollywood is to issue a statement through a publicist and be done with it. But Pee-wee Herman has decided to take his apology directly to his fans — eight times a week.

The bow-tied performer has been meeting with devotees at the Club Nokia in downtown L.A., where his new stage production “The Pee-wee Herman Show” opened last week. Herman, whose real name is Paul Reubens, stated in October that he wanted to meet with ticket holders after each performance to apologize for changing the date and venue for his comeback show.

Fans of Herman expressed anger and frustration late last year when show organizers delayed the opening day from November to January and changed venues from the Music Box Fonda

in Hollywood to the larger Club Nokia.

On Sunday, more than 100 ticket holders stuck around after the matinee performance for the talk-back. Fans who had exchanged their tickets from the Music Box were given orange wristbands to gain admittance to the closed event.

Herman explained some of the reasons for the show’s change of venue. “One rumor was that it was my greed,” the actor said.

“But the deal at the Music Box was that we would play only three or four days a week because they had booked music groups at the same time. Here, we never have to leave.”

The performer said his conception for the new show kept changing and eventually outgrew the Music Box. With a microphone in hand, Herman circulated talk-showstyle among his fans, alternating unpredictably between the Peewee persona and Reubens.

Neil Patrick Harris suits up

By Adam Tschorn Los Angeles Times

On the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” Neil Patrick Harris plays perhaps the most style-obsessed male sitcom character since Alex P. Keaton. Hardly ever seen sans suit since the show debuted in 2005, Barney Stinson uses his wardrobe as a weapon for womanizing. It’s a suit of armor and a security blanket rolled into one.

It’s become such a trademark of Harris’ character that when the show’s 100th episode, “Girls vs. Suits,” found him confronted with the choice of a beautiful bartender or his signature suits, the result was a full-blown, street-filling, suit-sporting songand-dance number — favoring the suit. Oh, did we mention that, in the same episode, his tailor is played by none other than “Project Runway” mentor Tim Gunn?

And the man who plays the man beneath the suit? Harris, 36, claims to have no fashion sense at all, and describes himself as prone to jumping on trend bandwagons long after everyone else has jumped off.

“I’m a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy,” he said in a recent interview.

“I was intimidated by high-end fashion growing up, and I never really bought into all the expensive things they were hawking in

Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times

Neil Patrick Harris, right, got dressed up for this year’s Golden Globes, one of the few times out of character when you’ll see him in such nice threads. the fashion magazines.

“I didn’t know what to make of it. … I’d go into Fred Segal and panic at all the $6,000 shirts. I’d just as soon go to H&M and buy a similar shirt for $70.”

Even so, as a result of playing the show’s well-clad cad, Harris has had the luxury of engaging in some sartorial soul-searching.

“Because the wardrobe department adds four or five new suits to Barney’s wardrobe each season, I’ve had the chance to try on just about every brand of suit on the market,” he said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010: This year, your actions could be, at best, provocative to some and distorted to others. Make sure you have all the facts and are not coming from a place of judgment. Often you only see situations as you would like them to be. You can be enormously resourceful; use those abilities.

Realize when enough is enough.

Honor what is happening within. Often you simply don’t hear the same thing that others hear. Ask yourself if you are reading too much into others’ words. If you are single, you meet people with ease, yet maintaining a long-term tie is challenging at best. If you are attached, the two of you need to work on mutuality and better understanding. Sign up for a seminar of interest together. LEO has a strong ego and is challenging.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH The high energy of the Full Moon could prove to be somewhat wayward if you’re not careful. Pressure builds in a new direction. Instead of being reactive, try being direct.

Make plans with a child or childlike person. Be a kid again. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Know that you cannot control situations, even some of the time.

Events today will point to the truth of this statement. Kick back and go along for the ride. You could be stunned by another person’s attitude.

Tonight: Make it easy — order in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Listen to all the possibilities. Inevitably, you will feel like you need to squeeze them all in. Choose the most appealing; after all, this is your Saturday too.

Others might be slightly flaky.

Let go and rethink a decision.

Tonight: Talking up a storm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Curb your need to “have,” as you become extraordinarily demanding. Trust that you don’t always have to ask. A request actually could have the reverse impact. Know that what needs to happen absolutely will occur. Tonight: Give up your controlling ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You certainly feel empowered and capable of handling someone’s seeming contrariness.

Perhaps this person might not be getting the gist of what you are saying. Stay easy, and let this person see the genuineness of your feelings.

Trust in yourself. Tonight: All smiles.

Nanny

Mortenson

Continued from B1 Ashley’s “practicum family,” as the school calls the families who provide students with realworld experience, had a baby, Nora, and a toddler, Eliza. Their mother, Dr. Jill Sangee, a pediatrician at Senders Pediatrics east of Cleveland, praised the school’s program.

“The curriculum is impressive,” said Sangee, who is married to Robert Mays. “They’re trying to teach two years of parenting in 12 weeks. It’s hard, but they are doing a good job.”

Roth’s husband, the late Jack J. Roth, was once department chair of history at Case Western Reserve University. As a faculty wife, she had the opportunity to draw on experts in fields such as psychology and childhood nutrition to help her develop a curriculum.

Additionally, with classes that focus on things such as martial arts, pottery and equestrian safety, the staff goes beyond the basics. That’s because the students often work for parents with means, people who want their children to experience it all.

During a recent visit to Stanton Stables in Newbury Township, Ohio, the soon-to-be nannies received a lesson about the do’s and don’ts of horses.

Ashley brushed her hand over the mane of a mild-mannered mustang.

“You are so beautiful,” she whispered.

“They are learning how to take children to a stable and evaluate it. Is it clean? Is it safe?” said stable owner Nora Stanton.

The school, which is regulated by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, has found jobs for nannies or governesses (men or women with a four-year degree in addition to certification from the school) caring for children of film stars and sports figures. Even years after the students graduate, the school continues to help them find employment. But placing students was difficult in 2009.

Prior to last year, Gaylord said, two-thirds of each class (Ashley’s class had 16 students), had placements with families before graduation day. But the ailing economy put a sudden halt to that.

“In the past, we never came close to meeting the demand,” he said. “What we started to do was interview as soon as we could prepare the students to do so.

Not now. I’m not faulting people, but cut corners and save pennies on your house, car or going out to dinner — not on your children.

“I realize it’s a different world and people are doing what they have to do, but this will backfire.

You can’t just hire anyone to take care of your children. It’s what I call dollars and no sense.”

Perhaps, he surmises, since the school has placed one student from Ashley’s December

Continued from B1 In 1993, Mortenson, a mountain climber, came down sick from an attempted summit of K2, the world’s second-tallest peak. After limping into the impoverished village of Korphe, Pakistan, he spend seven weeks recovering with the help of locals.

He vowed to take care of them in turn, by building schools for girls in the Islamic nation, where educating girls is not against religious dogma, but isn’t a high priority, either.

According to “Three Cups of Tea” co-author David Oliver Relin, whom The Bulletin interviewed in 2007 and 2008, “Most people (there) are in favor of girls’ education; the resources just aren’t there.”

Relin made three trips to Pakistan over the course of a year while researching the book.

While in the country, he learned that Mortenson had become “kind of a national hero.”

That hasn’t changed. According to Mortenson’s online bio, he received Pakistan’s highest civil award, Sitara-e-Pakistan (“Star of Pakistan”), “for his dedicated and humanitarian effort to promote education and literacy in rural areas for 15 years.”

To those ends, Mortenson cofounded the nonprofit Central Asia Institute and founded Pennies for Peace. “Three Cups of Tea” has sold 3 million copies, been published in 34 countries, been a New York Times’ bestseller for 120 weeks since its January 2007 release, and designated Time Magazine Asia Book of the Year, according to the Visiting Scholar Web site.

Mortenson’s new book, “Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan” was published in December and is a New York Times’ best-seller.

As of last year, Mortenson had established or supported 131 schools in rural, sometimes volatile areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to his site. The schools provide an education to more than 58,000 children, 44,000 of them girls.

“He does it because it was a personal thing: A group of people did a favor for him and took him in when he was sick, and he tried to repay their kindness,” Relin told The Bulletin.

“He’s been doing it on a larger and larger scale since.”

There are a number of related events around Central Oregon for those interested in more about Mortenson and his school-building work. Arthur Lezin will offer the presentation “Pakistan — From Independence to Insurgency” on Tuesday at the Robert L. Barber Library at COCC. Lezin has been in Central Oregon for 20 years, but from 1975

Eliza Mays, 2, tickles her 2-month-old sister Nora, as Ashley Robinson, 18, watches during a visit to Robinson’s “practicum family” in Shaker Heights, Ohio, in December.

Ashley Robinson, a student at the English Nanny & Governess School, heads into her dormitory home in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. graduating class and others now are interviewing, 2010 will be better.

The school has a dormitory that houses 30 people. Tuition for the 12-week session is $6,900.

Those who want housing pay $1,350 for a double room, or $1,650 for a private suite.

Lifelong friendships are formed in the large building that sits high on a hill. Ashley, of Medina, Ohio, commends her roommate, Whitney Stump, of Indiana, for keeping her sane during the long days of going to school and studying. Things like pillow, water balloon and Silly String fights have helped with stress.

Last month, toilet paper was hanging from the ceiling of Ashley’s room. In honor of Whitney’s birthday, a classmate decided to pull the prank. The occupants in room No. 2 enjoyed it so much, they left the double-ply taped to the ceiling for weeks.

“School consumed my life, but it was worth it,” Ashley said, noting that nutrition was her favorite subject. Ashley plans to return to college someday to specialize in

childhood or special education.

Eventually, she wants to own a day care center.

“I have always loved children,” said Ashley, who has five siblings, four of them younger than herself. “I have lots of patience and just understand kids.”

Gaylord noted that for those who elect to work with children, it’s not simply a “stepping stone for these students. This is their career of choice.”

If a family is interested in hiring a graduate, the family contacts the school and gives Gaylord basic information, such as where they live, the number and ages of the children and whether they want the nanny or governess to live in the home.

If the person is to reside in the home, Gaylord will ask for private accommodations. If the nanny is expected to live off-site, he will ask the family to either provide the housing or an allowance for it. The family completes an application with more detail.

The applications are presented to students enrolled in the program, and the opening is also posted on the school’s Web site.

When there is a mutual interest, the candidate goes to the family’s home, the potential employer paying expenses.

The school negotiates for the students — something that has been brutal with the recession. Generally, Gaylord said, the annual salary in a decent economy for a professional nanny ranges from $25,000 to about $45,000 a year. A governess commands anywhere from $45,000 to around $65,000. Room and board usually is included, and the school requires health insurance and two weeks of paid vacation.

The family pays the school a $250 registration fee and a one-time 15 percent of the nanny’s or governess’s annual compensation, though Gaylord said the school lowered that fee during 2009.

The school has placed graduates nationally and internationally, and continues to work with students until they are placed.

Meanwhile, Ashley, who found some advertisements for nanny positions on the Internet, has had one offer and is expecting to get another.

Having graduated from the school has helped her attract the attention of potential employers. And the experience has been a lot of fun.

“I had a blast with the other girls. If I wouldn’t have come to the school, I would have missed out on so much,” she said, teasingly slipping on a creepy Halloween mask that she used to tease the rest of the gals in the dorm. “This is what happens when you don’t treat your nanny right.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

It takes a sense of humor to be a nanny.

to 1979, he and his family lived in Pakistan when he was assigned there by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

“I’m going to talk about some of the history,” he says. “I’ve sort of kept up with things there ever since then.”

He strongly believes Mortenson’s efforts in Asia are having an impact. In fact, his work is “absolutely critical.”

“One thing I’m going to say in my talk is that any country that denies full citizenship to half its citizens — which is what’s happening if you don’t educate your girls — is doomed to failure,” Lezin says.

“People are discovering the creek,” Pajutee said. “But there are no trails, so people are making trails.”

The plan also calls for adopting a “leave no trace” rock climbing policy on cliffs along the creek, including not leaving equipment in the rocks or hammering new holes. And it addresses the large pieces of wood in the river, which help protect banks and also create pools for fish habitat, proposing that people should leave the downed logs in place.

A bigger law enforcement pres-

ence could also help tackle some of the graffiti, trash and vandalism problems that are becoming more common along Whychus Creek, Pajutee said.

The agency also will work to put any new facilities, like trailheads or the paths themselves, closer to Sisters, focusing the recreation on the lower end of the river.

“We’re not going to be developing facilities in the sections up toward the (Three Sisters) Wilderness,” she said.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Teacher Yvonne Babb helps her third- and fourth-grade students get a fire started.

Central Oregon residents should expect a brief break from today’s wintry conditions, with the National Weather Service forecasting partly sunny days for Sunday and Monday.

Forecasters are anticipating only small amounts of snow, with up to half an inch possible in Bend and a slight chance of snow in Sisters before 10 a.m. today, with up to an inch of snow for higher-elevation communities like Sunriver and La Pine.

Rain is forecast in Redmond, Madras, Prineville, Bend and Redmond as the temperature climbs into the low 40s by early afternoon.

Slightly more snow is forecast to fall in the mountains, with 1 to 3 inches expected as of this morning at Mount Bachelor, 1 to 2 inches today, and another 1 to 2 inches tonight.

Sunday and Monday are expected to be partly sunny and warmer, with highs in the mid40s in Bend and Redmond, cooler to the south, and warmer to the north, with temperatures up to 49 degrees in Warm Springs.

A weak storm system should arrive in the area Monday night.

Ann Adams of the Weather Service said the system expected to arrive Monday will bring only a slight chance of moisture, possibly with an occasional overnight dusting of snow.

The U.S. Forest Service is considering several new guidelines for recreation and trail development along the upper 15 miles of Whychus Creek southwest of Sisters, aimed at protecting some of the unique features of the creek.

“Whychus is a special place, because it’s wild, remote and undeveloped,” said Maret Pajutee, district ecologist with the Sisters Ranger District. “We’d like to keep it that way because that’s really why it’s special to people.”

The agency has drafted the Whychus Creek Wild and Scenic River Plan, which the public can comment on during the next month. The plan lays out how the Forest Service could protect

the geology, hydrology, fisheries, scenery and cultural resources of the creek and its banks — features the agency has identified as “outstandingly remarkable” for the area.

Congress designated upper reaches of Whychus Creek as a Wild and Scenic River in 1988, and in 2007, the Forest Service came out with a report detailing the features. The current plan outlines how to protect those features — a requirement of the Wild and Scenic River Act. The proposed guidelines include creating new, official trails in the area, and getting rid of some of the smaller trails that people have created themselves, which can contribute to erosion and dirt washing into the creek.

BANK ROBBED IN REDMOND

Nonprofits struggling to pay for 147 cats rescued in Madras

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Police tape surrounds the Sterling Savings Bank on Veterans Way in Redmond after it was robbed shortly before noon on Friday. Police released few details Friday evening.

The 147 cats removed from an 1,100-square-foot home in Madras are now financially overwhelming the local nonprofits who rescued them.

“It was the largest cat rescue we’ve ever dealt with,” said Rose Makena, a volunteer with Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team, or CRAFT, a Bendbased nonprofit.

Makena said the cats came in malnourished, with worms and deer mites. A lot of them had upper respiratory and eye infections. CRAFT took approximately 80 of the cats, and caring for them is depleting its resources. The Humane Society of Central Oregon, CRAFT, the Humane Society of Redmond and the Humane Society of the Ochocos in

Prineville are also housing cats from the rescue. Most of the cats were removed last month and more were taken last week. Now, area nonprofits are hoping community donations and fundraising will help them treat the cats.

Sandra Ballard, of Madras, said she housed the cats because there are no cat shelters in Jefferson County. She cooperated with authorities because she was feeling overwhelmed.

“I got them from everywhere,” said Ballard, who now only has six cats. “People brought them here, they dumped them, they called with their cat problems.”

Ballard said apartment managers would call her when tenants moved out and left the cats.

“I was calling all over the state to

see if they could take some of the cats off my hands,” the 70-year-old said.

Ballard is being monitored by local authorities. If she has more than six cats at one time, she could face criminal charges. She’s happy with six cats, she said.

“Oh my, yes, you can’t imagine what it’s like to have as many as I did, over 100,” she said.

“I’m exhausted right now. I don’t want to talk about it. … Hopefully, they find homes. That was my concern,” she said.

The cats in Ballard’s home were in crates, wire cages and running loose.

The crates filled the living room, the kitchen and all the bedrooms, and there was not an adequate number of litter boxes.

North Coast residents divided on timber plan

FAITH HEALING TRIAL

By Cassandra Profita

OREGON CITY — The second faith healing trial in Oregon in less than a year is in the hands of a jury after an emotional plea from a prosecutor to put a stop to the deaths of children in the Followers of Christ Church.

“It’s an outrage. It’s an absolute outrage,” Greg Horner told a Clackamas County jury on Friday in his closing arguments to wrap up the trial of Jeff and Marci Beagley.

The Oregon City couple are charged with criminally negligent homicide in the June 2008 death of their 16-year-old son, Neil, of complications from a urinary tract blockage that doctors said could have been treated.

Horner, the chief deputy district attorney, was also the prosecutor in the faith healing trial last year of the Beagleys’ daughter, Raylene Worthington, and her husband, Carl Brent Worthington.

The Worthingtons were acquitted of manslaughter in the March 2008 death of their 15-month-old daughter, Ava, from pneumonia and a blood infection. But Brent Worthington was convicted of misdemeanor criminal mistreatment.

Horner told the jury the Beagleys were present at the death of their granddaughter, laying on hands after anointing her with oil and praying for her to be healed instead of seeking medical care that church members avoid.

The Beagleys did the same with their son, Neil, whose kidneys were failing from dam-

SEASIDE — A proposal to cut more timber on the Clatsop and Tillamook state forests has divided North Coast residents.

At a hearing in Seaside on Thursday about proposed changes to the Oregon Department of Forestry’s 2001 Northwest Oregon State Forest Management Plan, about a dozen people voiced opposing viewpoints on whether the new plan would be better or worse than the old one.

The plan aims to balance the economic, environmental and social values of the 630,000 acres of forest land in the Coast Range, including 150,000 acres of the Clatsop State Forest and 300,000 acres in the Tillamook State Forest.

But, as State Forests Deputy Chief Mike Cafferatta explained Thursday, the 2001 plan — which took about six years to create — is failing to meet its goals for generating timber revenue.

If foresters were to increase logging to meet the original revenue targets, they would fall short of the plan’s environmental goals of creating older tree stands that provide habitat and ecosystem health.

The Oregon Board of Forestry is now considering changing the plan to reduce the goals for oldertype forests from 40 to 60 percent of the landscape to 30 to 50 percent to allow for more timber harvest and better economic returns on the forest land.

To free up more forestland for logging, the board is also looking at dropping its federal Habitat Conservation Plan, designed to protect species listed under the Endangered Species Act, and replacing it with a state-run Species of Concern Strategy, which would take a new approach to protecting habitat for 40 species, including those listed as threatened and endangered.

The resulting level of timber harvest would put state forests at 72 percent of the output they would get under an industrial forest management model.

Environmental groups have protested the changes and have even accused ODF of breaking the law in not using the best available science in redesigning the plan. Leaders in the Clatsop and Tillamook counties, which receive revenue from timber sales, have argued the changes are necessary to maintain government programs.

An emotional final plea as decision goes to jury

By William McCall The Associated Press

age caused by the urinary tract blockage that doctors said was present at birth but not discovered until his death.

Defense lawyers said the couple believed Neil was simply suffering from a bad cold or the flu, and tried to treat the symptoms by making sure he ate, rested and drank plenty of fluids.

In reality, his body was being flooded internally with those fluids while creating toxic levels of waste material that eventually stopped his heart, Horner said.

The couple should have been alert to the potential for relatively mild symptoms to mask serious and even fatal disease after the death of their granddaughter, he said.

“They ignored the lesson that cost their granddaughter her life,” Horner told the jury.

The question the jury must answer, he said, was whether a reasonable person would have taken Neil Beagley to a doctor after he showed symptoms for a week in June and did not get better.

Defense lawyers argued the Beagleys were acting reasonably and did not believe Neil was in danger of dying.

Attorney Wayne Mackeson reminded the jury of testimony by Jeff Lewis, an Oregon Department of Human Services worker sent to interview Neil in April after an anonymous phone call from a relative concerned about his health following the death of his niece, Ava Worthington.

Lewis found nothing wrong with the teenager, who declined to see a doctor, saying he had al-

ready told his mother he did not want medical care and felt like he was getting better.

Mackeson told the jury all of Neil Beagley’s symptoms were “nonspecific,” meaning they could have been a sign of any number of diseases, including a common cold or the flu.

But Horner said doctors testified that nobody else in their experience had ever died of the same kind of congenital urinary tract blockage because it always is discovered during prenatal care for the mother or shortly after birth, and treated.

Horner said the Beagleys should have spotted some sign of the disease along the way but certainly at the end, when he argued they “grossly understated” the severity of their son’s symptoms.

Horner noted the teenager was weak, unable to get out of bed and repeatedly vomiting.

He said Lewis, the child welfare worker, testified that if he had seen Neil Beagley at that point, he would have intervened immediately.

Horner told the jury they must decide only whether the Beagleys failed to be aware of a “substantial and unjustifiable” risk of death to their son.

He said it did not matter whether they believed the teen would die, only whether a reasonable parent would take action.

“No other parents would have put up with this,” Horner said.

“If Neil Beagley had been in any other family, he’d be alive today.”

The jury was expected to resume deliberations on Monday.

Agency is criticized as mustang deaths reach 26 in Nevada wild horse roundup The Associated Press RENO — Wild-horse advocates criticized federal land managers after the number of mustang deaths so far in a government roundup on the range north of Reno nearly tripled from a week ago, going from nine to 26.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management on Friday reported four more deaths stemming from its roundup in the Calico Mountain Complex.

Agency spokeswoman JoLynn Worley said three horses have died at the roundup site and 23 have died at a Fallon holding facility where the horses have been taken since the two-month roundup began Dec. 28.

Another 25 horses are recovering at the facility 60 miles east of Reno after being treated for various injuries and health issues, she said.

Activists said the BLM’s roundup methods are “brutal”

and violate the intent of a 1971 law Congress enacted to protect the horses.

“America’s wild horses are protected by federal law as important parts of our national heritage, but they are being brutalized and destroyed by the BLM’s policy of massive roundups,” said William Spriggs, an attorney who represents California-based In Defense of Animals in a lawsuit against the Interior Department over the roundup.

Mom, sons accused in drug operation

manufacturing and possessing a controlled substance.

HILLSBORO — The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says a mother, her two sons and another man have been accused of using medical marijuana privileges as a cover for a drug-distribution operation.

Sheriff’s Sgt. David Thompson says 40-year-old Tina Marie Kohler and two of her sons — 22-year-old Timothy Russell Kohler and 21-year-old Corey Lee Kohler — were arrested after officers served a search warrant at a Hillsboro home early Thursday. He says 29-year-old Joshua Sean Dacus also was arrested.

Thompson says detectives seized 43 marijuana plants, nearly 4 pounds of marijuana, morphine and amphetamine pills and four firearms.

He says the four have been accused of distributing,

Officer used pepper spray on burning man PORTLAND — Portland Police Chief Rosie Sizer says an officer who was attempting to help a man who had set himself on fire accidentally sprayed him with pepper spray.

Sizer says the officer spotted the man in flames Wednesday in downtown Portland and hurried to get a fire extinguisher from the trunk of her patrol car.

Instead, Sizer says, she accidentally grabbed a large can of pepper spray, colored red like an extinguisher. Portland fire officials say the nonflammable spray had no additional effect on the man.

The man, identified as 26year-old Daniel Shaull of Dodge City, Kan., died at a hospital later Wednesday. His father, Warren Shaull, told The Oregonian that his son had psychiatric problems and was living on the streets.

When prices fall far enough, buyers will appear.

That seems to have been the story of the American housing market in 2009. The number of existing homes that changed hands in 2009 — 4.6 million — was up 5 percent from the previous year. It was the first annual increase since 2005.

But to accomplish that, prices had to be cut sharply. The median sales price was $173,200, compared with $196,600 in 2008.

Adjusted for inflation, that price was the lowest since 1997.

Not since 2005 has the price of the median existing home risen in real dollars.

For those four years, the inflation-adjusted price has fallen 28 percent, something few homeowners thought possible before it happened. They were more used to the previous four years, when the median price outstripped inflation by a total of 27 percent.

The increase in sales was not only because of rising demand.

U.S. adviser warns bankers of reforms DAVOS, Switzerland — Confronting bankers head on, President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser told them Friday to put their customers first and insisted the U.S. government would push through new banking reforms despite pressure from lobbyists.

“Our challenge now is to put in place a new system,” said Lawrence Summers, telling a crowd at the World Economic Forum that the reforms wouldn’t last forever but should be able to protect a generation from banking excesses.

U.S. economy shows signs of momentum

By Catherine Rampell New York Times News Service

The U.S. economy grew at its fastest pace in more than six years at the end of 2009, even as businesses resisted hiring and continued to do more with less.

The broadest measure of economic activity, gross domestic product, expanded at an annual rate of 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter, after a 2.2 percent increase the previous quarter.

“It was an excellent report, but it’s not clear how sustainable this pace of growth is,” said John Ryding, chief economist of RDQ Economics.

But even the fourth-quarter surge was not enough to overcome a terrible start to the year.

The economy finished 2009 with its biggest contraction since 1946, when the country was still cooling off from World War II. The Obama administration seized on news of the latest upturn as an opportunity to push its proposal to encourage hiring. Companies would receive a tax credit of up to $5,000 for each new hire, and an additional credit on Social Security payroll taxes for raising wages — by increasing hourly pay or work hours, for example — in excess of inflation.

By the end of 2010, Central Oregon’s Mailboxes, Etc. stores are expected to be branded under a different name: Pack, Ship & More.

One former Mailboxes store in Bend and another in Prineville have already switched to Pack, Ship & More, a name that was devised by Lew Johnson, the owner of the Mailboxes location in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center. After they all switch, he and the other two local shipping store owners, Richard Ross and Trina Robison, will work cooperatively under the new brand name, some efforts of which are already under way.

Johnson rebranded the Prineville store as Pack, Ship & More before selling it to Robison late in 2008. Ross changed the name of his Mailboxes store at the Wagner Mall last year, and plans to change the name of his Century Drive Mailboxes store later in 2010.

Johnson plans to change his store’s name to Pack, Ship & More in late 2010.

Mailboxes, Etc. store owners

On the Web For information about Pack, Ship & More, visit www.psm2.biz. sign 10-year franchise agreements with Mailboxes, Etc. Inc., said Becca Andrews, a spokeswoman for the company. When those contracts come up, the owners have the option of leaving the franchise, she said.

UPS purchased Mailboxes, Etc. in 2001. In 2003, more than 3,000 Mailboxes, Etc. stores — about 90 percent — rebranded to be The UPS Store, Andrews said.

The local Mailboxes stores specialize in shipping, packing, printing and other services, such as providing fax service, computer terminals and office supplies.

The three local owners said they had some philosophical differences with UPS and wanted to operate independently.

Oregon ranks third in U.S. for ‘underemployment’

By Christopher S. Rugaber The Associated Press Luke Sharrett / New York Times News Service

President Barack Obama takes a tour of the Chesapeake Machine Co. in Baltimore on Friday. In proposing a one-year, $33 billion tax credit for small businesses, the Obama administration is simultaneously seeking to stimulate hiring by reducing payroll taxes and to turn its attention to a constituency that has historically been associated with Republicans.

“Now’s the perfect time for this kind of incentive because the economy is growing, but businesses are still hesitant to start hiring again,” President Barack Obama said in a speech in Baltimore.

The economy has been able to grow even without adding workers because employers have found ways to accomplish more with fewer workers.

Productivity grew at a rate of 8.1 percent in the third quarter of 2009, the most recent data available.

And the single biggest factor in the strong growth rate last quarter was not consumers buying more goods, but businesses letting their stockpiles shrink at a slower rate than they had been doing earlier in the year.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union on Wednesday that “one in 10 Americans still cannot find work.” But in nine states, the figure is much worse — closer to one in five, according to Labor Department data released Friday.

The figures are a stark illustration of how tough it is to find a full-time job, even as the economy has grown for two consecutive quarters. The official unemployment rate of 10 percent doesn’t include people who are working part-time but would prefer full-time work, or the unemployed who have given up looking for work.

When those groups are included, the devastation in many parts of the country is

clear: Michigan’s so-called “underemployment” rate was 21.5 percent in 2009, the highest in the nation. California’s was 21.1 percent, while Oregon’s was 20.7 percent.

Many companies and state governments have cut back on workers’ hours during the recession. And in the past six months, nearly 2 million unemployed workers have given up on their job hunts. Nationwide, the underemployment rate was 17.3 percent in December, just below the 17.4 percent reached in October, the highest on records dating from 1994.

In another three states — South Carolina, Nevada, and Rhode Island — the underemployment rate is above 19 percent. And in three more — Arizona, Florida and Tennessee — it’s above 18 percent.

For the first time since 2005, sales of existing homes, like this one in Los Angeles, increased over the prior year. A federal tax credit and lower prices helped spur sales.

out of homes, despite government efforts to get banks to restructure mortgages.

Sales of newly built homes continued to sink, even with help from a tax credit for new homebuyers. For the year, just 373,000 new single-family homes were sold, the lowest total since the government began keeping count in 1963.

That appears to have been caused, as much as anything, by the excess supply of such homes.

American Marine Bank, based in Bainbridge Island, Wash., was closed Friday by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver.

The FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Columbia State Bank, of Tacoma, Wash., to assume all of the deposits of American Marine. A week earlier, Columbia State Bank bought The Dalles-based Columbia River Bank after it was closed by Oregon regulators.

State officials say Oregon College Savings Plan investors will see their share of a $20 million legal settlement deposited in their accounts in March. State Treasury Department spokesman James Sinks also said Friday that the plan will start offering new and expanded investment choices in late March.

The state reached the settlement with OppenheimerFunds Inc. in November over losses that investors in Oregon’s 529 college savings plan suffered in Oppenheimer’s Core Bond Fund. The state contended that fund managers took inappropriate risks for those saving conservatively for college. An estimated 45,000 families will share in the settlement.

Annuities: The official retirement vehicle of the Obama administration.

As slogans go, it’s hardly “Keep Hope Alive” or even “Change We Can Believe In.” But there were annuities in a report from the administration’s Middle Class Task Force that came out this week. They are among the tools the administra-

tion is promoting as it tries to give Americans a better shot at a more secure retirement.

At its simplest, which is how the White House seems to want to keep it, an annuity is something you buy with a large pile of cash in exchange for a monthly check for the rest of your life.

If the biggest risk in retirement is running out of money, an annuity can help guarantee that you won’t. In effect, it allows you

to buy the pension that your employer probably stopped offering, and it can help pick up where Social Security leaves off.

President Barack Obama did not discuss annuities in his State of the Union address on Wednesday, probably figuring that viewers had enough problems staying awake. But the mere mention of them by the task force was enough to send executives at the insurance companies that sell the

products into paroxysms of glee.

“I never thought I’d have the president as a wholesaler for us,” said Christopher Blunt, the executive vice president of retirement income security at the New York Life Insurance Co. “This is awesome. I’m trying to see if I can get him to do a big broker meeting for us.”

He’s unlikely to turn up for such an event just yet. After all, the announcement from the

White House did make it clear that the administration was looking to promote “annuities and other forms of guaranteed lifetime income.” That suggests the administration is open to other solutions, though there are not many others that are as simple as the basic fixed immediate annuity (also known as a single premium immediate annuity) that delivers a regular check for life.

Annuities Continued from C3 Still, all of this attention from the president is a stunning turn of events for a rather unloved product. Many consumers reflexively run in fear when salesmen turn up pitching high-cost and complex variable annuities, which evolved from their simpler siblings decades ago. Today, the Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an extensive warning document on its Web site for investors considering the variable variety.

Meanwhile, almost all employees on the precipice of retirement who have access to annuities as a payout option steer clear when their companies offer them.

While various surveys show that roughly 15 to 25 percent of corporations offer annuities to workers who are retiring, including big employers like IBM, a 2009 Hewitt Associates study reported that just 1 percent actually bought one.

“I joke sometimes that we’re the best ice hockey players in Ecuador,” said Blunt of New York Life, which sells more fixed annuities than any other company according to Limra, a research firm that tracks the industry.

So what are these soon-to-be retirees so afraid of? And what makes the White House so sure it can change their minds?

Let’s start with the fears. Early on, the knock on annuities was that once you died, the money was gone. So let’s say a 65-yearold man in Illinois turned over $100,000 in exchange for $632 a

month for life, a recent quote from www.immediateannuities.com.

If he died at 67, his heirs would get nothing while he would have collected only about $15,000. (On the other hand, it would take him until age 78 to get $100,000 back, but that doesn’t take inflation into account.)

The industry solved this by coming up with variations on the policy, allowing people to include a spouse in the annuity or guarantee that payouts to beneficiaries would last at least 10 or 20 years. This costs extra, of course, meaning your monthly payment is lower.

Others worried about inflation, so now there are annuities whose payments rise a few percentage points each year or are pegged to the Consumer Price Index. These cost extra, too (often a lot extra).

You see the pattern here. Every time someone had an objection — the need for a bunch of payments at once, a lump sum in an emergency or concern about rising interest rates — the industry created a rider to add to policies to make the concern go away (and make the monthly payment smaller).

There are also stockbrokers and financial planners standing in the way. Once money goes into an annuity, they can’t earn commissions from trading it anymore and may not be able to charge fees for managing it.

Financial advisers have a charming term for this phenomenon — annuicide. You insure, and their revenue dies. So, many of them will try to talk you out of it.

One reasonable point they might make is that insurance

companies can die, leaving your annuity worthless. State guaranty agencies exist, but they may cover only $100,000 to $500,000.

Even if you get over all these mental hurdles, however, the hardest one may be the difficulty of seeing a big number suddenly turn small.

“It’s the wealth illusion, the sense that my 401(k) account balance is the largest wad of dollars I’ll ever see in my lifetime, and I feel pretty good about having that,” said J. Mark Iwry, senior adviser to the secretary and deputy assistant secretary for retirement and health policy for the Treasury Department. “Meanwhile, I feel pretty bad about the seemingly small amount of annuity income that large balance would purchase and about the prospect of handing it over to an entity that will keep it all if I’m hit by the proverbial bus after walking out of their office.”

So how might the Obama administration solve this? It could get behind a Senate bill that would require retirement plan administrators to give account holders an annual estimate of what sort of annuity check their savings would buy. That way, people would get used to thinking about their lump sum as a monthly stream.

Tax incentives could help, too.

A recent House bill called for waiving 50 percent of the taxes on the first $10,000 in annuity payouts each year.

“If this is behavior that the administration is trying to inspire, then it’s not that long of a leap to think that maybe they’ll start to promote some version of these

bills,” said Craig Hemke, president of www.buyapension.com, which sells basic annuities.

Iwry, who is one of the intellectual architects of the administration’s examination of annuities, wouldn’t say much about what will happen next. But one paper he co-wrote two years ago suggests a clue.

As the treatise suggests, the administration could nudge employers into automatically depositing, say, half of new retirees’ lump sums into a basic annuity or other lifetime income product, unless they opt out. Then, they could test the thing out for two years and see how that monthly paycheck felt. If they liked it, they could keep the annuity. If not, they could cancel it without penalty and get the rest of their money back.

Annuities won’t be right for everyone (people in poor health should probably steer clear). And they’re not right for everything because it rarely makes sense to put all of your money in a single product or investment.

You could, for instance, use an annuity to cover the basic expenses that your Social Security check doesn’t cover.

You might also use the money to buy long-term care insurance, which would keep nursing home bills from becoming a budget-destroyer.

But the president has one thing right: The basic annuity is almost certainly underused. Sure, you may be able to arrange a better income stream on your own, but not without a lot of help from a financial planner or a lot of time managing it yourself.

Continued from C3 For example, a bike company usually keeps its warehouse well stocked. In tough times, it cuts production and sells what it already has in the warehouse.

When its financial worries ease, the company still does not fully replenish its warehouses, but it lets its inventories shrink at a slower pace.

Because of the way the government calculates growth, this business moderation translates into an increase in output.

The change in inventories added 3.4 percentage points to the growth rate in the final quarter of 2009.

Those inventory changes alone cannot sustain growth over an extended period of time. Economists are hoping that once business executives become more confident about the recovery, they may increase production to refill their stockrooms.

“What goes down wildly has to go up at a pretty good clip,” said Robert Barbera, the chief economist at ITG. So far, though, final sales to consumers and businesses have been disappointing. Consumer spending grew at an annualized pace of 2 percent in the fourth quarter, after an increase of 2.8 percent in the third quarter. That is better than many had feared when the quarter began, considering

Home sales Continued from C3 It is taking a long time to work that off, and in some communities it may never be worked off, as foreclosures and partly built homes make some neighborhoods unattractive for all but the most desperate.

New-home sales have always been volatile, rising when the economy is strong and interest rates are low, and declining when one or both of those factors are absent. But those ups and downs tended to balance out.

Over every 10-year period from the 1960s to the late 1990s, annual sales of new homes averaged from about 540,000 homes to 650,000 homes. But after that, the figure began to climb steadily. The recession

the end of the cash-for-clunkers program that had helped stimulate auto spending. Still, in the past, consumption has been a much bigger driver of growth after a recession.

Without the benefit of similarly sharp inventory changes, many analysts foresee tepid growth in the months ahead.

Ian Shepherdson, the chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, expects output to expand by just 1 or 2 percent, at an annualized rate, this quarter and next.

The biggest challenge in the near future is the job market.

On net, the economy lost 208,000 nonfarm payroll jobs last quarter, and the unemployment rate rose to 10 percent from 9.7 percent. As long as the labor market remains weak, consumers — whose purchases make up the bulk of economic output each quarter — will be reluctant to spend money. That means businesses will need to look for other sources of demand, like exports.

Perhaps the most promising aspect of Friday’s report in terms of jobs was the pickup in equipment and software spending.

“Businesses that are spending more on equipment and software are probably going to be hiring more as well,” said Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight. “If we see more hiring, that means we may see more consumer spending, too.”

of 2001 hardly made a dent in sales, as the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates.

The 10-year average peaked in 2006 at 995,000 homes. Even after the disastrous performance in 2009, the 10-year figure is still over 900,000.

Prices of new homes have come down as well as those of existing homes, but not as rapidly. That, too, may have held sales back. Adjusted for inflation, the median price of a new home in 2009 was 18 percent below the 2005 figure, compared with the 28 percent drop for existing home prices.

The supply of completed but unsold new homes ended 2009 at 99,000. That is half the peak level reached in early 2008, but many of those homes no longer look new. On average, it has been more than 13 months since they were completed.

Help the homeless living in Madras

T

hough help won’t come this winter, the city of Madras is poised to make it easier for the homeless to find shelter in Jefferson County’s largest city. It’s a change well worth

making.

As things currently stand, it’s illegal to operate a homeless shelter in Madras. That may well be an oversight — when city ordinances were drawn, it’s likely the issue of homelessness never was discussed.

Times have changed, however, and homelessness is a growing problem, not only in Madras but across Central Oregon. Several permanent shelters operate in Bend, as a result, and a temporary shelter is available if cold weather leaves some unprotected with no place to go.

Nor is Madras without a shelter, legal or not. The Madras Gospel Mission opens its doors to the homeless and makes no secret of that fact. Other churches do so as well. City officials are aware of it, and to date, no one has seen it fit to find a way to close the open doors.

The city’s religious community wants more, however, and with good reason. Church parishioners and those who lead them tend to be more aware than not of a community’s less fortunate, and for many, providing assistance is part and parcel of what they believe is their role in the world.

Church leaders are supportive of the city’s move to make homeless shelters legal.

As currently proposed, the change city councilors will be asked to make

As Bend residents know, it’s often with moves just like this that a community begins to address its homelessness problem in a broad way. would allow shelters in buildings that meet zoning and building requirements. Moreover, those shelters would not be limited to a few of the coldest nights of the year, though those would be allowed with proper permitting, but would be allowed to operate as needed.

Once the city’s planning commission has finished its work on the proposed ordinance change, the matter will go to the City Council, probably in May. We believe the council should approve the change. As Bend residents know, it’s often with moves just like this that a community begins to address its homelessness problem in a broad way, with the sort of community involvement needed to make solutions work.

FROM THE ARCHIVES Editor’s note: The following editorial, which appeared on Dec. 8, 1961, does not necessarily reflect the views of The Bulletin’s editorial board today.

Generous taxpayers support built local schools Bend in recent years has made an outstanding record in the field of education.

The local school district was one of the first in the state to take up the cold war challenge to upgrade academic standards.

Excellent progress has been made.

None of this would have been possible without generous support of local taxpayers.

The accomplishments are all the more remarkable when it is remembered that the local district is not a “rich” one. There are few large industries to share the load with the individual property owner.

Next Tuesday the district again will be faced with a tax proposal. Details of the $700,000 building program have already been presented by The Bulletin. There are, however, several editorial observations we should like to make in connection with the measure.

As with any tax decision, objections are being raised. Some are of the usual word-of-mouth variety, spread mostly by those who oppose any tax increase and traffic in rumors, half-truths and outright falsehoods.

We can only hope that intelligence will prevail against this sort of attack.

What we are more concerned with here are several issues raised by individuals who have had the courage to the their objections openly. The point, for instance, has been made that perhaps this year’s double-shifting is an attempt

to pressure voters into providing more classrooms. It is not. More than a year ago the district had plans for a building program underway.

Had not reorganization interfered, a bond proposal would have been presented in time to provide increased facilities in the current school year. If double-shifting was to have been used as a weapon, it would have been undertaken last year.

It is just as logical to argue that taxpayers never provide new schools until it becomes necessary to double-shift.

Another argument: It would be more economical to add rooms to existing schools rather than construct a new elementary plant.

That would be true if it were possible to add the number of rooms necessary.

However, eight new rooms will be needed next year at the primary level. No more than six rooms could be added to the present grade school facilities and these would have to be scattered among three different buildings.

The district next fall will still be short two rooms — and no provision would have been made for future expansion.

One last point.

In any building proposal there are minor details which give rise to honest differences. There is no such thing as a “perfect” building. Some of the current discussion deals with some minor details which we agree are debatable.

However, these differences should not be allowed to cloud a much larger issue — the need for expanded facilities.

The Bulletin believes the bond is basically sound.

We urge voters to join us in casting their ballots in favor of the measure next Tuesday.

My Nickel’s Worth Profiling problems

Misleading editorial

In response to the recent letter “Start profiling” (Jan. 9), the author wants to profile young men with Islamic names or coming from Islamic countries. Richard Reid? Not your typical Islamic name, and he came from London. Should Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali and Barack Hussein Obama be profiled? What about oneway tickets and no checked bags? My wife, a U.S. citizen, bought a one-way ticket to visit her ill mother, unsure about when she would return. Profile her because she bought a one-way ticket and did not check anything (carryon only). What about female or older male Islamic suicide bombers? Would they be profiled? Terrorists know it is easy to change your profile. All an individual has to do is change his or her name or falsify a passport, fly from a non-Islamic country, buy a round-trip ticket and check a bag. Secondly, you cannot blame only Homeland Security and say it failed in preventing the recent airline bombing attempt. It is only one of many members of the intelligence community (IC).

The fault lies at the feet of the Director of National Intelligence, whose job it is to make sure that all the departments and members of the IC share information so that terrorist actions are thwarted. It appears they often don’t play well together. Lastly, TSA, one of many components within DHS, does not service foreign airports (Lagos and Amsterdam). Security screening is supplied by those countries for their airports.

The editorial “Fish passage is too much to ask” (Jan. 4) is misleading.

The analogy about local grocers and expensive handicap access for a road added to a floral shop is nonsense. The real issue of saving irrigation districts money by overriding Oregon statutes that protect our wild fish populations promises impending doom for our native migrating fish populations.

Swalley Irrigation District, Central Oregon Irrigation District and associated North Unit Irrigation District want to install hydro projects on irrigation canals along the Deschutes River. The claim by the irrigation districts and state Sen. Chris Telfer is that these hydro projects will be in irrigation canals, not river channels, so these projects should be exempt from the same Oregon statutes (ORS 509.585) that an in-river project would have. ODFW is requesting that a fish ladder be built at the diversion dam in Bend in conjunction with these hydro projects. This fish ladder would assist in directing native and historic native migrating fish populations into the river channel versus into the canal flow which would mean certain death.

With significant effort by many local groups and organizations to improve habitat and stream bed conditions for native migrating fish, it seems audacious of the irrigation districts’ and Sen. Telfer’s insistence on considering the regulation fish ladder a hindrance. Rather than interpreting the fish ladder as “punish(ing) the irrigation districts with a burdensome and unnecessary mandate,” consider it a boon to the fishery, an asset to

our community, a link to re-establishing historic migrating native fish populations.

The desert’s spotted owl If government agencies and taxpayer-financed environmental groups get their way, the deserts of the West will soon have their own version of the spotted owl.

The so-called loss of sage grouse habitat is another guise to keep ranchers, hunters and recreationalists off of federal and state lands. Government studies fail to tell the real reason for the decline of the sage grouse. Nevada Department of Wildlife officials conducted a survey of sage grouse production and mortality. Fourteen hundred eggs were placed in 200 simulated sage grouse nests, with seven eggs per nest.

This was during the 15-day period when sage hens lay their eggs.

The results of this survey were unbelievable. At the completion of the 15-day period, all 1,400 eggs were destroyed (100 percent) in both study areas. Ravens were the chief nest predator.

In order to bring sage grouse populations up, raven numbers would have to be drastically reduced, but it is not politically correct to kill one species to enhance another. So let’s not place the blame on loss of habitat. Put the blame where it belongs — on government agencies that would study the grouse into extinction (or until funds run out) while failing to confront the obvious.

Health care reform should focus on prevention

By Debra Rudloff Bulletin guest columnist

I

n February 2009, our 19-year-old son was on a volunteer internship in Bolivia when he underwent an emergency appendectomy on a Friday night.

He spent three days in the hospital and was seen by three different physicians who were all trained at Georgetown Medical School in Washington, DC. The primary physician herself called us directly following the surgery, and then lent her personal cell phone to our son for the weekend. He received excellent care and personal attention in a modern facility.

Our relief was a little shaken on Monday, when the director of his volunteer organization called and said the hospital was balking at accepting their agency’s British insurance coverage and would not discharge our son until the bill was

paid in full. Realizing he was effectively being held hostage and charged for his bed by the day, I gripped the arms of my chair and said, “Okay, how much?” She said, about $1,400. Total. For a primary care doctor, a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, three days in the hospital and all medications. Amazed, I gave a credit card and was eventually reimbursed by the British insurance company.

Backtrack to March 2004, when my mother had a routine elective surgery in a Portland hospital and, due to medical errors following a “successful” surgery, spent the last three weeks of her life in intensive care hooked up to seven machines. On the last day of her life, with a harpist playing in the room, a nurse breezily asked my sister and me if we wanted to increase her morphine to make things go faster. (I realize not all nurses would ask us that question!)

IN MY VIEW The bills for those three weeks came to more than $500,000. And thanks to my sister enrolling Mom in a plan that guaranteed no more than $200 out-ofpocket expense for anything, insurance probably ended up paying for the rest.

In both my son’s and my mom’s cases, neither had need to steadily see a doctor every month for chronic conditions. In fact, they rarely went to the doctor because of underlying great health. They simply faced an acute life-threatening emergency.

The “health” care debate from my little knowledge of the “inside track” seems to be only about insurance coverage: who’s going to get covered, and who’s going to pay for the coverage. The only way to real reform is to lower the

costs of treatment, fix the fact that medical errors are causing many deaths or prolonged hospital stays, and invest in educating people on how to take care of themselves to prevent chronic disease and make them somewhat accountable for lifestyle diseases.

The current administration has touted prevention as one of the answers to our health care dilemma. The current debate in Congress seems to have let that idea slip into oblivion. A focus on prevention could drastically change the health picture of our nation, especially the children of America who are going to suffer lifelong consequences of ignoring the problem. According to an Oct. 27, 2009, posting on the Web site Corporate Health Promotion, “preventable illness creates roughly 80 percent of the burden of illnesses and 90 percent of health care costs.”

Prevention can work! Take the case of the Cleveland Clinic. According to a Dec. 12, 2009, story in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Clinic offers their 40,000 employees cooking classes, workouts with personal trainers and smoking cessation classes free of charge and have seen their insurance premiums lowered and fewer sick days.

The same story reported that a MetLife Insurance study showed that 94 percent of companies with wellness programs reduced medical costs. It seems an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.

Moving beyond the bottom line, it just seems like we would want to find a way to prevent needless suffering from chronic disease and know the joy of actually being healthy.

Minton led expensive fight against Scientology

ARCHER , 90, DECORATED TUSKEGEE AIRMAN Retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Lee A. Archer, a decorated member of the Tuskegee Airmen, has died. He was 90. His son, Roy Archer, says his father died in a Manhattan hospital Wednesday night. Archer was an ace pilot in America’s first black fighter group in World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen fought with distinction but faced segregation when they returned home. Archer was among the Tuskegee Airmen who attended President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009. The elite aviators also were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007 from President George W. Bush.

Marshall Nirenberg, 82, Nobel-winning biochemist

By Thomas H. Maugh II Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Marshall Nirenberg, the Nobel laureate who deciphered the genetic code that allows the information contained in genes to be translated into proteins, died Jan. 15 at his home in New York City. He was 82 and had been battling cancer.

Nirenberg, who spent his entire career at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and was the first government employee to win a Nobel Prize, was “one of science’s great titans,” NIH Director Francis S. Collins said.

Nirenberg was an outsider who was not considered among science’s elite when he began his career in the 1950s in what has often been called the golden age of molecular biology. Researchers were just beginning to understand the role and function of DNA, the genetic material that encodes the information necessary for life.

Francis Crick and James Watson had deduced the structure of DNA in 1953, demonstrating that it was the now-famous double helix composed of four repeating nucleotides. The next big question was how many of those nucleotides and in what combination were required to specify each of the 20 amino acids found in proteins. Crick concluded, largely on theoretical grounds, that three would be required; that would yield 64 possible combinations of three of the four nucleotides.

St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times

Jumping for joy

Robert S. Minton, a retired investment banker who poured millions into efforts to fight the Church of Scientology in the 1990s, has died. He was 63.

Minton burst on the local scene in late 1997 when he began financing a lawsuit against the church by the family of Lisa McPherson, the 36-year-old Scientologist who died in 1995 while in the care of church staffers in Clearwater.

All told, Minton gave about $2 million to the family’s legal effort and an additional $8 million to other anti-Scientology causes.

He once said in an interview that he became an anti-Scientology crusader after learning about the church’s efforts to keep its materials from being publicized on the Internet. The more he read, he said, the more he became concerned about Scientology practices that, to him, seemed to violate its members’ civil and human rights.

Working with postdoctoral fellow J. Heinrich Matthaei, Nirenberg adapted a cell-free system that could synthesize proteins using enzymes from bacteria that had been crushed in a mortar to break down their cell walls. His idea was to put fragments of RNA — which was known to carry the genetic information from DNA to the protein-making machinery — of known composition into the soup and see what proteins were formed.

Other researchers had thought about this approach but rejected it because the prevailing belief was that each protein produced in a cell required its own set of production machinery. Nirenberg thought that the process was more general, with the cell’s machinery able to make any protein, depending upon what template it was given.

“You can look at trees, flowers, squirrels, birds, and you can know that we’re all related.”

— Marshall Nirenberg

On Saturday, May 27, 1961, at 3 a.m., Matthaei put an RNA fragment composed only of uracil into the bacterial soup and found that it produced a protein composed only of phenylalanine. The pair had established the first letter of the genetic alphabet: the three-nucleotide fragment or codon composed of U-U-U was the template for phenylalanine.

“I literally jumped for joy,” Nirenberg later told an interviewer.

That August, Nirenberg presented their results in a paper delivered at the International Congress of Biochemistry in Moscow. Few researchers were in the room to hear his report, but one who was, biochemist Matthew Meselson, recognized its significance and persuaded Crick to have Nirenberg repeat his presentation the next day before a much larger audience.

By then, Matthaei had sent word that they had identified a second codon: The combination of three cytosines, C-C-C in the genetic shorthand, produced the amino acid proline. Observers at the meeting recalled that many of the scientists in the audience were mentally kicking themselves for not having performed the experiments that, in retrospect, seemed so simple and obvious.

A Nobel race The race was now on to identify the other 62 codons. Nobel laureate Severo Ochoa of New York University’s medical school mobilized his large laboratory and was widely assumed to have the lead in the race.

Nirenberg, with his modest resources, was not expected to be a contender.

But a funny thing happened.

Knowing a Nobel was in the offing, other researchers at NIH dropped their own projects temporarily and came into his lab to help with the effort. In all, more

than 20 other scientists contributed to his work, and Ochoa eventually dropped out of the race when it became clear that Nirenberg would triumph.

By 1966, 61 of the 64 potential codons had been identified — some amino acids could be produced by more than one codon.

The next year, it was shown that the remaining three codons were punctuation marks indicating the end of a gene.

In subsequent experiments, Nirenberg showed that the same code was used in other species — in fact, in all species on Earth.

“You can look at trees, flowers, squirrels, birds, and you can know that we’re all related,” he later said.

In 1968, Nirenberg shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with two other researchers who had solved other aspects of the problem.

Fame came calling and Nirenberg was offered positions at other institutions around the world.

He decided to stay at NIH, he said, because the steady funding freed him from the task of preparing grant applications and the lack of teaching left him more time for research. But he did teach the students who came through his laboratory, and two of them went on to win Nobels themselves.

He later shifted to neurobiology, making a variety of contributions, including the discovery of a fruit fly gene that is essential for heart development.

Marshall Warren Nirenberg was born April 10, 1927, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and grew up in Orlando, Fla. He attended the University of Florida, receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1948 and a master’s in biology four years later. A doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Michigan in 1957 was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at NIH. Nirenberg’s first wife, Perola Zaltzman Nirenberg, died in 2001.

He is survived by his second wife, Myrna Weissman; his sister, Joan N. Geiger of Dallas; four stepchildren and seven grandchildren.

Harlan, a leading scholar of race relations

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

Louis R. Harlan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian at the University of Maryland whose two-volume biography of Booker T. Washington made him one of the nation’s foremost scholars of the history of race relations, died Jan. 22 at a nursing facility in Lexington, Va., of Crohn’s disease, a chronic digestive disorder. He was 87.

Harlan, who taught at Maryland for more than 25 years, devoted much of his scholarly career to Washington, who was born into slavery in Virginia in 1856, led the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and was perhaps the country’s most prominent black leader at the start of the 20th century.

The first volume of Harlan’s biography, “Booker T. Washington: The Making of a Black Leader, 1856-1901,” came out in 1972 and was awarded the Bancroft Prize, the most prestigious annual honor in the field of American history. After the second volume, “Booker T. Washington: The Wizard of Tuskegee, 1901-1915” was published in 1983, Harlan won the Pulitzer Prize for biography, a second Bancroft Prize and the Albert J. Beveridge Award for the best book on American history.

His monumental study covered more than just the life of a single man, albeit a significant and complex one. Historians saw the two-part biography as a beautifully written portrait of black American life during the nation’s darkest days of segregation.

Harlan delved into more than 1 million archival items in the Library of Congress to compile his biography and the 14-volume “Booker T. Washington Papers” (1972-1988).

Raymond W. Smock, who helped edit the papers and last year published a short biography of Washington, said of his onetime mentor: “By any definition of the term, he was one of the leading historians of the 20th century.”

Louis Rudolph Harlan was born July 13, 1922, in West Point, Miss., and grew up in Decatur, Ga. He was on the swimming team at Atlanta’s Emory University, from which he graduated in 1943.

He received a master’s degree in history in 1948 from Vanderbilt University in Nashville and a doctorate in history in 1955 from Johns Hopkins University, where Woodward was his mentor.

As a white Southerner, Harlan might not have seemed a likely candidate to write the biography of a black leader. But as a graduate student, he met John Hope Franklin, an African American historian then at Howard University, who encouraged the young scholar to study the history of race relations in the South. Harlan’s first book, “Separate and Unequal” (1958), explored racial inequities in Southern schools.

Harlan taught at what is now Texas A&M University at Commerce and the University of Cincinnati before joining the Maryland faculty in 1966.

He was the first person to be president of all three major scholarly organizations in his field — the American Historical Association, Organization of American Historians and Southern Historical Association — at the same time.

Cats Continued from C1 Makena, with CRAFT, said the organization is going through 800 pounds of kitty litter a week.

“Just the cost of litter and food for a healthy cat is estimated at 70 cents a day,” Makena said.

Bonnie Baker, the director and founder of CRAFT, said of the 80 cats they rescued, they still have about 30. She estimates the cats have cost her organization, which runs solely on volunteer power, $7,500. The Humane Society of Central Oregon took 31 cats from the home. More than 20 of them are still being treated for medical conditions. The Humane Society has spent more than $5,000 on the animals’ care, which doesn’t count for any medical expenses or staff time. The Humane Society has a veterinarian on staff.

An estimated 45 hours a week is spent taking care of the animals.

Officials from the Humane Society of Redmond could not be reached for comment.

“It’s draining,” said Lynne Ouchida with the Humane Society in Bend. “But we will take care of it. We’re not going to not treat them. We’ll find the money. The donations we’ve received from the community are long gone. …

We’re definitely dipping into reserve funds for special need animals, but that’s what we do.”

Continued from C1 “The closer you are to town, there’s more management, and then as you get higher, it feels wilder.”

The management plan can set a good framework for future restoration projects, said Ryan Houston, the executive director of the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. Building official trails, and getting rid of others,

take precedence over fish and wildlife.

Designated trails should avoid the more sensitive areas of the creek, like when it goes through canyons, he said.

“There’s plenty of room for people and wildlife too,” Dewey said. “But make sure the values for which the area was protected are protected.”

Bend coach ready to help Jamaican skier O LY M P I C S

By Penny Nakamura For The Bulletin

When you think of Jamaica these days, you may think of a sunny tropical island, home of the late reggae singer Bob Marley. And you may even think of three-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter who proved in Beijing in 2008 that he’s the fastest man on Earth.

By the conclusion of the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, you may have to add another ultrafast Jamaican Olympian to your list. Errol Kerr, 23, is making his first Olympic appearance as the sole member of the Jamaica Ski Team.

You read that correctly — Jamaica Ski Team.

Now if that surprises you, consider this: The Jamaica Ski Team coach is a Bendite, Eric Holmer, who grew up on the slopes of Mount Bachelor as a long-time ski team member with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation.

“Errol was actually part of the U.S. Western Region Alpine Ski Team, and we met doing NorAm and Europa Cup downhill races togeth-

er before he switched over to skiercross a few years ago,” explains Holmer, who was asked by Kerr to coach him as he makes his Olympic bid.

Holmer says he’s heard all the jokes about a tropical island with no snow having a ski team.

And he knows people are making the connection with the 1988 Olympic Jamaica Bobsled Team, whose adventures became the basis of the movie “Cool Runnings.”

But Holmer says there’s a big difference between the Jamaica Ski Team and that four-man bobsled team.

“The difference is, Errol is actually very, very good — this isn’t the first time he’s seen snow,” says Holmer. “He actually has a good chance of winning a medal in skiercross.

“Last season, he was 10th in the (Ski Cross) World Championships,” Holmer adds as he looks around for a wooden post to knock on so as not to jinx his skier.

PREP BOYS BASKETBALL Mountain View’s James Reid (11) drives the ball past two Bend defenders while attempting to score during the second period of Friday night’s game at Mountain View High School.

Mountain View took a 67-51 win over Bend.

Bulletin staff report Mountain View was seconds away from upsetting Intermountain Conference girls basketball leader Bend High on Friday night.

The Cougars held a 32-18 first-half lead on their home court, but the Lava Bears rallied after halftime and defeated Mountain View 48-45.

“We played a very good second quarter,” said Cougars coach Steve Riper.

Riper credited his defense for the early lead.

Mountain View shut down 6-foot-1-inch Bend post Karleigh Taylor in the first half and outscored the Lava Bears (6-1 IMC, 11-7 overall) by 10 points in the second quarter.

However, Taylor found the basket in the third period and scored 17 of her game-high 23 points in the second half as Bend battled back, eventually taking the lead in the final period.

The Lava Bears led by one point with five seconds left in the game, and Mountain View still had a chance at the win. But the Cougars’ last shot was blocked, then Bend High hit a pair of free throws to seal the league victory.

Kersey Wilcox led the Cougars (3-4 IMC, 8-8 overall) with 13 points, and Lacy Mayhew contributed 10 points in the narrow home defeat.

Both teams return to IMC action in Eastern Oregon next Friday night, when Mountain View meets Hermiston and Bend takes on Pendleton.

Bears fall to Cougs Friday’s 67-51 win keeps Mountain View on top of the Intermountain Conference

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

Boosted by the return of starting point guard James Reid, Mountain View cruised past crosstown rival Bend High 67-51 Friday night to stay atop the Intermountain Conference boys basketball standings.

Reid, who missed most of the Cougars’ home loss last Friday to The Dalles-Wahtonka with a sprained ankle, scored six points against Bend. But more importantly, he dished out nine assists while leading his team’s offense in front of a full gym at Mountain View High School.

The Cougars (6-1 IMC, 16-1 overall) led 15-6 at the end of the first quarter and 28-20 at halftime in a game in which they never trailed.

“We’ve got three great guards, but he’s the one everyone feels most comfortable with running the offense,” Mountain View coach Craig Reid said about James Reid, his son. “He’s very controlled and keeps things together.”

With the younger Reid at point, the Cougars made 26 of their 47 fieldgoal attempts (55.3 percent) and connected on seven of their 17 threepoint shots (41.2 percent). Mountain View’s Seth Brent led all scorers with 22 points, while Jesse Zapata added 14 and Isaiah Mitchell scored 10.

Brent also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds.

Tyler Friesen paced the Lava Bears with 12 points. Joey Apodaca added 11 for Bend High.

LEESBURG, Va. — Many of the 104 teenagers and young men who gathered at a resort here this month will soon be very rich, and some may be larger than life: household names, tabloid celebrities, possibly even worldwide brands.

The world’s top baseball prospects, they came to attend an annual three-day session called rookie camp, meant to prepare them for life under the lights: how to live with the attention, how to make it last, how to enjoy it.

The therapists and former major leaguers who work in the rookie program say the psychological challenges are the most daunting in its 18-year history — even more so than when the chief problem was illegal drugs.

In just the past year or two, experts and players say, the culture of celebrity — aided by cell phone videos, social-networking Web sites and round-the-clock sports coverage — has grown so all-consuming that it has thoroughly invaded players’ lives. It can inflate their fame, or spoil it, far faster than most can mentally adjust.

The camp is a joint venture of the 30 teams’ owners and the players union that uses psychological tools like role-playing and group discussion to demonstrate and deconstruct the pitfalls of living in the public eye.

This year for the first time, it included a presentation dedicated to nutritional supplements (which can contain banned substances) and a stronger emphasis than ever on the power of video and social-networking sites to follow athletes almost anywhere.

S B Football • Warner brings end to stirring 12-year NFL career: Kurt Warner has called an end to one of the great storybook careers in NFL history. The 38-year-old quarterback announced his retirement from the game on Friday after a dozen years in a league that at first rejected him, then revered him as he came from nowhere to lead the lowly St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls, winning the first of them. Written off as a has-been, he rose again to lead the long-suffering Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl a year ago.

Federer, in command, and set for Murray

By John Pye

The Associated Press DALLAS — Mike Modano is on a scoring surge thanks mostly to a little extra down time between games.

Modano scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the third period, to lead the Dallas Stars past the Colorado Avalanche, 3-2 on Friday night.

Stars coach Marc Crawford has made it a priority to give Modano time off in between games so the 39-year-old star will be fresh for the stretch run.

That plan has paid dividends, with Modano scoring six goals in eight games.

“I’ve been feeling much better lately,” said Modano, who has 12 goals this season and 555 overall.

“I’ve been able to rest up and primarily focus on games.”

Modano picked up a loose puck and beat goalie Craig Anderson with a wrist shot with 12:59 left to help give the Stars their fifth consecutive home victory.

It was Modano’s first two-goal game since Dec. 3, 2008, against Edmonton. Modano has 1,351 points, moving past Mats Sundin into sole possession of 25th place on the career list.

“He’s still a dangerous player,” Colorado center Paul Stastny said.

“He has an unbelievable release and still has one of the best shots.

He’s still a threat out there and it showed tonight.”

Colorado, which had its sixgame winning streak snapped Thursday night, lost its sec-

Dallas Stars center Mike Modano (9) celebrates after scoring in the third period of an NHL hockey game against the Colorado Avalanche, Friday in Dallas. The goal, Modano’s second of the game, gave the Stars the lead and the 3-2 win. ond in a row. Matt Duchene and T.J. Galiardi scored for the Avalanche.

Anderson had allowed one goal or less in each of his past five starts, making 27 saves in shutting out Dallas on Sunday. He stopped 28 shots Friday.

Colorado had beaten the Stars 8-1 in the first two meetings this season.

“They play a hard-nosed game here,” Anderson said. “They have

their fans behind them and have a lot of energy here. Obviously, they played a lot more physical tonight than a couple of nights ago.”

MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer decided the crowd didn’t get quite enough value from his semifinal romp over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, so he worked on his comic routine.

After dismissing his 10th-seeded opponent 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 Friday night, Federer looked toward the final and the last obstacle between him and a fourth Australian Open title — Andy Murray.

Murray, as the Scotsman is incessantly reminded, will be trying to end a long drought for British men at Grand Slam tournaments when he takes the court Sunday.

“I know he’d like to win the first for British tennis since, what is it 150,000 years?” Federer cracked during his courtside interview. “The poor guy who has to go through those moments over and over again.”

Reminded later that the dry spell extended only 74 years, Federer smiled. “Oh,” he said. “I missed it by a little bit.”

Federer, winner of a record 15 majors, will be playing in his 22nd Grand Slam final. He was relaxed as ever at Rod Laver Arena in dispatching Tsonga in 1½ hours. Tsonga offered glimpses of sporadic brilliance, but he was no match for the sublime play of Federer.

Murray can take solace in this statistic: He leads Federer 6-4 in career head-to-heads. But the top-ranked Swiss has won the last two and, more important, their only Grand Slam encounter: a straight-sets victory at the 2008 U.S. Open final.

PORTLAND — Sarah Mensah couldn’t help but notice one handmade sign that appeared recently among the sea of placards and posters that fans display at Portland Trail Blazers’ home games.

“Converted Sonics fans down from Seattle,” it said.

Its message was clear to Mensah, Portland’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. While the Blazers are “for Oregon and about Oregonians,” as she says, there is a potential fan base three hours up the road that the team would be foolish to overlook.

The once vibrant SuperSonics-Blazers rivalry that divided basketball loyalties in the Pacific Northwest disappeared when the Sonics moved before the 2008 season and became the Oklahoma City Thunder. The professional basketball vacuum left in Seattle has created a business opportunity the Portland franchise can’t ignore.

“When the Portland Trail Blazers have relevance beyond Portland and Oregon it’s something the entire community can share in from a pride factor,” Mensah said.

Problem is, nearly two years after the Sonics’ messy departure, Seattle fans are still bitter toward the NBA. That has Trail Blazers management considering how to navigate a minefield laced with betrayal and distrust to reach into a metro area of more than 3 million people with a rich basketball history, possible business partnerships never before tapped by a Portland franchise and connections to players on the Blazers, as well as their coach.

“You just keep your ear to the track. It’s still pretty fresh in people’s minds and some residual disappointment and anger about what happened,” said Tod Leiweke, who sits on the Blazers’ board of directors while serving as CEO of the Seattle Seahawks. “If it was a clean slate, you’d come up and barnstorm.”

The lingering hurt is why all overtures into the Seattle market are measured and subtle.

Portland also realizes that not long ago, their own fan base teetered on revolt when the team was nicknamed the “Jail Blazers” for their offcourt transgressions.

“It was one of the healthiest and brandstrong franchises in professional sports and it had nearly disintegrated,” said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon.

“There is plenty for case study on how it all occurred. They’ve made enormous strides in the last few years. The fact there is local ownership as it relates to the Seattle market for a franchise in Portland, it stands to reason if done correctly you could get people (in Seattle) to care.”

The Blazers’ management believes the biggest part of making that connection is exposure.

The Blazers received NBA permission to take over broadcast rights that the Sonics previously held, stretching to the Canadian border and east into Montana and Idaho.

Portland games that are not on national television are shown in the Seattle market either on Comcast Sports Northwest or on a secondary channel in a deal with Seattle’s NBC affiliate.

By next year the Blazers are optimistic they will have a radio affiliate in Seattle.

For now, that’s as overt as the Blazers plan on being with Seattle.

“I think the biggest thing is when you go, Seattle has to be willing to accept and (be) ready for it,” Blazers head coach Nate McMillan said.

“And now, I personally don’t think you make that move.”

That’s why the Blazers scrapped plans for an exhibition game in Seattle before the start of this season. When word leaked, the backlash was harsh.

More than most, McMillan understands that sting left behind in Seattle and the unique dynamic the Blazers face. He is still considered “Mr. Sonic” after 12 years as a player and another five as head coach with Seattle before jumping south to Portland after the 2005 season.

McMillan has learned about the connection between the team that was once his most bitter rival and its city and state.

“It’s different here than it was in Seattle, where the fan base here is all about the Blazers. And I knew that when I was in Seattle. We would play Portland and they would have just as many fans as we do at games. It was almost like a cult,” McMillan said. “Rip City, that is the identity of who this team is.”

McMillan, All-Star guard Brandon Roy and budding young swingman Martell Webster add another layer to the Seattle-Portland dynamic.

Roy was an All-American at Washington and Webster was a high school star at Seattle Prep before going straight to the NBA. Webster is already seeing the Blazers make inroads in his hometown. He hears from friends wanting to make the three-hour drive for games — if tickets are available. Portland is nearing 100 straight sellouts.

“I think we’re an icon in the Northwest, a big-time icon,” Webster said. “People enjoy the way we play, people enjoy the way we carry ourselves off the court. What more can you ask for?”

Barring a deep run in the playoffs that could captivate the entire region, this will be a slow process. The Blazers’ groundwork is in its infancy. Some in Seattle still hope the NBA will return if a new arena is ever built, but it’s doubtful in the current political climate.

Until then, the Blazers will try to fill the void.

“When you say Seattle it doesn’t seem right that it doesn’t have a franchise, an NBA basketball team. ... It’s been there all this time and now there’s no NBA. That’s crazy,” Webster said. “We just want to bring this back there and put a smile on their face. But scars take time to heal.”

Storm threes hold off Cowgirls Summit girls improve to 4-3 in Intermountain Conference Bulletin staff report PRINEVILLE — Summit made eight three-point baskets Friday night, including a clutch bomb by Kristen Parr late in the game as the Storm held off a Crook County charge to claim a 57-46 Intermountain Conference girls basketball victory.

The visiting Storm started fast, building a 12-2 lead that grew to 47-34 by the end of the third quarter.

But the Cowgirls dug in their heels and made a contest of it in the fourth period, closing to within five points before Parr’s three-pointer stemmed the tide for Summit.

“We had a difficult time in the first quarter,” said Kurt Sloper, the Crook County coach. “Our kids played hard and got back into it, but we couldn’t quite get over the hump.”

Summit (4-3 IMC, 9-8 overall) was led by Jesse Luersen, whose game-high 18 points included four three-point goals. Parr finished with 12 points, five assists and four steals, Chelsie Schoenborn added 11 points, and Taylor Pierce had 10 rebounds to go with her 11 points for the winners.

“A good team effort,” said Storm coach Ryan Cruz. “I think everybody stepped up tonight and wanted this one.”

Crook County (2-5 IMC, 68 overall) got 13 points from Brooke Buswell and 11 from Channele Fulton.

The Cowgirls play at home Tuesday night against Madras, while Summit entertains The Dalles-Wahtonka.

For Redmond, Tanner Manselle scored 14 points, and Brad Carter scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. The Panthers (3-3 CVC, 7-11 overall) play at North Salem on

Behind the hot hand of the Storm’s Justin Huckins, who finished with 16 points, Summit led for most of the game. “Whenever you win by 18 on the road, it’s huge,” said Storm coach Dan Munson, whose team held a 18-9 lead after the first quarter. The Storm (9-9 overall) travels to The Dalles-Wahtonka on Thursday.

Drew Harrison led the home team with seven points and seven rebounds. The Outlaws (4-3 SkyEm League, 9-9 overall) are at Elmira on Tuesday.

And the athletes’ newfound visibility and wealth can make them easy prey for dubious investment schemes.

“You get on ESPN once and people you haven’t talked to in years come out of the woodwork and somehow find your phone number,” said Bud Norris, 25, a pitcher for the Houston Astros who was called up from the franchise’s Triple-A team in Round Rock, Texas, in the middle of last season.

There are other pitfalls, too, the young prospects were told. A quick ascent can make a player overconfident in other realms of his life, convinced that his good instincts on the field translate easily into good decisions off it; likewise, struggling players can quickly lose self-assurance in all areas of their lives.

“Some of these guys will get to a point where they see how valuable they are, how important they have become to their teams and to the sport,” said Dr. Robert Pyles, a psychiatrist in the Boston area who has consulted with the program for most of its history. “That’s when there’s the risk that the lid comes off and the narcissistic beast comes out. The idea is give them some advice before they get to that point.”

Lissa Brock led Redmond with 13 points — nine of which came of three-pointers — but she was the only Panther player to score in double figures. Redmond (109 overall) hosts North Salem on Tuesday.

Pendleton. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .61 Madras . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .49 MADRAS — While evenly matched at the end of the first quarter and trailing closely at the half, the White Buffaloes could not hold on as Pendleton ran away with the lead in the final quarter. Madras’ leading scorer was Karlen Yallup with 16 points, nine of which came off three-point shots. The loss drops Madras to 12-5 overall and 4-3 in league. The Buffs travel to face Crook County on Tuesday.

La Pine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .54 Pleasant Hill. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .21 LA PINE — The host Hawks were in command early and rolled to the Sky-Em League win. Casey Wright scored 16 points and Kassi Conditt added 14 to lead nine scorers for La Pine. Junior point guard Brittany Glenn recorded eight assists and seven rebounds to go with her five points, and Sammie Mellott was credited with eight steals. The Hawks improved to 4-3 in league and 13-6 overall going into a Tuesday night game at Marist of Eugene.

“If you’re performing well, and so is your team, there’s nothing better,” said Billy Sample, a retired outfielder and, until last year, one of a roster of former players the program brings in to advise the rookies. “But if you’re scuffling, or if you feel you’re on your way out, I mean, it feels like there’s nothing worse.”

The jump into the big time can be particularly disorienting for baseball players, who, before they make the major leagues, rarely play in front of crowds as large as most college basketball and football stars do.

“These guys come straight from playing in Elmira, Duluth, Tidewater, to the big stadiums and the media,” said Gene Orza, chief operating officer of the players union. “Their transition is far more abrupt than maybe any other sport.”

SWIMMING Panthers sweep dual with White Buffs REDMOND — Both Redmond’s girls and boys teams blew their Madras counterparts out of the water during a dual meet at the Cascade Swim Center. The Panther girls finished with 123 points to Madras’s 27, while the Redmond boys had 134 points to the White Buffaloes’ 36. For Madras, Brianna Hunt was champion of the girls 100-meter freestyle event in 1 minute, 18.98 seconds, and Dustin Henderson took first place in the boys 400-meter freestyle with a time of 4:58.48.

Redmond swimmers grabbed the top spot, and in several cases the top three places, in every other group or individual category.

Outlaw girls set school record in nonleague three-team meet SWEET HOME — Sisters girls rounded up five first-place finishes and one new high school record in a three-team meet at Sweet Home. The Outlaws’ 400 freestyle relay team of Michelle Young, Tia Berg, Katie Stewart and Courteney Satko, posted a time of 4 minutes, 7.14 seconds, topping the previous record of 4:12. The foursome also took top honors in the 200 medley relay in 2:07.25, just edging out Sweet Home, and the 200 freestyle relay in 2:00.09. Satko was the champion in the 50 freestyle in 26.62, and Stewart won the 500 freestyle in 6:05.23. The Outlaw boys took second overall with several second- and third-place finishes.

“See, that’s why I’m not getting married,” one Orioles prospect mumbled to another.

Another player, from a National League Central team, shook his head and called out, “Nah, he should be communicating more,” sending a ripple of general approval through the class.

In another skit, a player’s sister introduces him to a friend of hers, a man who is soliciting money for an Internet start-up company. The player — played by a Milwaukee Brewers prospect — puts the man off repeatedly, telling him he does not think it is a good idea.

“So — you are thinking about it!” the man replies.

Norris, the Astros pitcher, said the scene rang true.

“Happened to me three times already — an Internet company, one was skin care, and I don’t remember the other,” he said. He passed on all three.

“Living in the limelight is awesome so far,” he said, but added, referring to the rookie camp, “What I like about this is that it makes you think about the things you’ll face in much more depth than you may have.”

Bob Tewksbury, a former pitcher who has worked at the rookie camp for years — and who played the sister’s friend in the Internet start-up skit — said the play-acting was invaluable but, in the end, still acting.

Bend and Mountain View are off next week until Friday, when both teams play Eastern Oregon squads.

The Lava Bears host Pendleton on Friday night, while the Cougars entertain Hermiston.

“Defense has been a point all week for

coming. But give me that guy when he’s in a bar, after a few beers, when he’s looser. That’s another story.

When you’re living that life, traveling, staying out as late as you want, dressing nice, chances are you’re going to be more confident and reckless.”

And when the life seems to be slipping away because of injury or poor performance, players can hit the other extreme, losing all confidence in their decisions. At the end of each day at the conference, the players split into small groups to talk about their personal concerns in private, with a therapist and a former player on hand.

Pyles said that a player in one group spoke about being sent back down to the minors after breaking a leg. “He talked about his coaches, his mentors, all these people who’d supported him and made him feel special before the injury and who went away in a second,” Pyles said.

“Instead of a superstar, he was nothing. Nothing.

“These guys play not only because they’re good at it but often because the performance euphoria is a good way to deal with their personal demons. Take the sport away and, well, they need a way to cope with what’s left.”

After that first long day of sitting, talking and raising their hands, the players finally got a break just before dinner. About a dozen of them met in the lobby, in sweats now, with gloves under their arms, staring out at the patchwork of icy snow on the resort grounds.

Then they headed out into the cold to play baseball.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Mariners add right-handed bat to lineup The Associated Press SEATTLE — Eric Byrnes does not care what his role becomes. Just hearing Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik say he believes Byrnes can still contribute after two injury-plagued season was good enough.

Seattle added a needed, veteran right-handed bat to its roster signing Byrnes to a one-year deal on Friday two weeks after he was let loose by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“Once I talked to Jack I knew this was the right fit. It was just a matter of figuring out what other opportunities I had out there,” Byrnes said. “Right away I just felt that this was the place I felt like I could contribute.”

And he comes at a fantastic price for the Mariners if Byrnes can come close to his 2007 production when he hit .286 with 21 homers and 83 RBIs. Arizona owed him $11 million from the final season of a $30 million contract, and any team could sign him for the $400,000 minimum, with the Diamondbacks responsible for the remainder.

If he gets enough playing time to come close to those numbers will depend on how Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu ultimately uses Byrnes. He gives Seattle another option in an outfield that includes Ichiro Suzuki in right, Franklin Gutierrez in center and likely Milton Bradley in left. Or Byrnes could find himself in a designated hitter platoon with Ken Griffey Jr. depending on who is on the mound.

White takes halfpipe title

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

ASPEN, Colo. — Shaun White’s face smacked against the halfpipe, his neck snapped back and his helmet popped off and flew 15 feet in the air.

A sick wreck in practice Friday night that will be replayed and remembered — maybe even longer than his comeback an hour later that earned the world’s best halfpipe rider his third straight Winter X Games title.

“It’s been a wild night for me,” White said. “Hitting my head

WINTER X GAMES didn’t help anything. I was seeing stars.”

The 2006 Olympic champion hurt himself on his newest, most unpredictable and most dangerous trick: the Double McTwist 1260, in which he hurtles himself above the halfpipe, does two head-over-heels flips and 3½ rotations before he lands.

Sometimes he lands.

He did just that in his first run of the finals — a performance that gave him the winning score

of 95.33, which turned out to be 1.67 better than Iouri Podladtchikov of Switzerland.

Sometimes he doesn’t.

That’s what happened in the final run, when he was going for the perfect score — a run in which he has to link two easier versions of the jump, then complete the run with the Double McTwist 1260.

And sometimes it’s a near disaster.

Which was the story during

GOLF ROUNDUP

that practice run, when he misjudged his position above the pipe and came down hard, jamming his face against the pipe and falling flat on the ice.

“That trick is just a beast of its own,” White said. “And on some days, it’s just tougher than others.”

He came off the pipe under his own power, but was checking his jaw and mouth to make sure everything was still there. He had a big, red abrasion on the left side of his face, but minutes later, he was going down the pipe again for another practice run.

SKIING: WORLD CUP Chris Park / The Associated Press

American wins giant slalom event The Associated Press

Alessandro Trovati / The Associated Press

Ted Ligety of the United States speeds down the course during the first run of an alpine ski men’s World Cup Giant Slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, Friday.

Skier Continued from D1 “Ski cross,” as the sport is billed on the Olympic schedule, is a relatively new alpine sport.

It is a hair-raising freestyle event in which four skiers go head-tohead down a challenging slope that includes banked corners, tight turns, jumps, steep curves, wave tracks and tabletops. The objective is to get down to the finish first without wiping out.

Ski cross is making its Olympic debut at the Vancouver Games, and Holmer and Kerr fully expect that the exposure to millions of television viewers will generate a lot of excitement for the new sport.

“It’s very exciting to watch, because skiercross racers have to be skilled skiers with speed, who can ski freestyle terrain features with three other racers all at the same time going down the same course,” explains Holmer, 29, who as a former alpine racer with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation knows something about speed.

“Errol was a downhill and Super-G specialist, so he knows speed,” says Holmer. “And in skiercross you can reach speeds of 55 miles per hour. Combine that with the tabletops and roller features on the course, and that’s the thrill factor in skiercross.”

Kerr, a native of Truckee, Calif., where he still resides, grew up skiing in the Lake Tahoe area. With a Jamaican father and an American mother, he holds dual citizenship. Kerr still has some family in Jamaica, including a half brother.

Last summer, Kerr and Holmer toured the island with a video of

Kerr racing ski cross. That introduction, according to Holmer, left some Jamaicans scratching their heads in wonder. But for the most part, Holmer says, the entire island really got into it.

“Skiing for Jamaica, you really feel you’re bringing the whole island with you,” says Kerr. “This (Jamaica) is the land of my father, it’s in my DNA, and it feels wonderful to represent this little island on the world stage.

“Since I was a young boy, I always wanted to ski and represent Jamaica,” he continues. “But to be taken seriously on the world stage (in skiing), I had to come up through the U.S. pipeline.”

Nothing is more integral for an Olympic athlete than a coach who can prepare an athlete to peak at the right time, and guide the athlete through the literal ups and downs of the sport.

During the interview for this story at his family’s ski shop in Bend, Holmer is wearing his green soft-shell Jamaica Ski Team jacket and hat. He goodnaturedly explains that he is not only the Jamaica Ski Team’s head coach, but also its lead van driver, travel agent and chief ski technician — the latter duty demanding the skills he has honed in his family’s business, The Race Place.

“It was a bit of a cultural shock when I first came to skiercross as a coach, because it’s a different protocol than downhill — you’re not looking for the same thing as you would on a downhill course,” Holmer explains. “You have to start looking for passing zones, places where you can draft out of a turn, or slingshot past another skier. You need to analyze the terrain. You want less air time so

you can go faster, and you have to have a good start out of the gate.”

To perfect that all-important start, Kerr built a ski cross dual starting gate in the front yard of his home in Truckee.

“When I was younger, my mom bought me a welding torch to keep me out of trouble, and it actually taught me a life skill,” says Kerr. “So I welded together my own start gate. The start is critical in skiercross racing — you have to get out in front first.

I also built my own snow-making machine for that start ramp, too.”

Both Kerr and Holmer have found that sponsorship money is down due to the weak economy. But the team has caught the eye of Atomic Skis, and of Alpine Meadows Ski Resort in the Lake Tahoe area, who are helping the skier and his coach get to Vancouver.

Jamaica Ski Team also received a major sponsorship deal with the Spyder skiwear company, which immediately saw the marketing potential of Kerr and produced a complete line of Jamaica national team gear. (Reportedly, that gear is selling fast at The Race Place.)

Should Kerr win a medal in Vancouver, Jamaica Ski Federation President Richard Salm says it would be the first Winter Olympics medal the island nation has ever won.

Salm explains how Kerr became Jamaica’s one-man Olympic ski team: “Errol came to our attention when his mother, Catherine Kerr, wrote a letter about her son’s desire to possibly represent Jamaica,” Salm recalls.

Salm says the Jamaica Ski

KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia — Ted Ligety must have smiled when the World Cup giant slalom scheduled for Adelboden was rescheduled for Kranjska Gora, one of his favorite hills.

The rest of the field probably grimaced.

Ligety won his first World Cup race of the season Friday, carving over the Pokoren 3 course in a combined time of 2 minutes, 22.02 seconds to win the event for the third straight year. It was his third podium of the season and fifth career victory.

“It’s pretty awesome,” said Ligety, who will be part of the U.S. Alpine team headed to Vancouver next month. “I’ve always had a good feeling on this hill, and I have been lucky enough to win three times. I feel like I am always doing better toward the end of the season.”

The race switched venues after fog scratched the event in Adelboden, Switzerland.

“It’s definitely a big advantage for me having done so well here in the past,” Ligety said. “I have never done well in Adelboden.”

Marcel Hirscher of Austria was 0.34 seconds back in second.

Kjetil Jansrud of Norway took third, 0.51 behind Ligety, while U.S. Olympian Tommy Ford, of Bend, finished 21st.

Also on Friday: Vonn 3rd, extends overall lead ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Lindsey Vonn extended her lead in the overall World Cup standings, skiing a cautious slalom run to finish third in a super combined won by Sweden’s Anja Paerson.

Vonn earned 60 World Cup points to build a 116-point lead over Germany’s Maria Riesch, who skied out of the super-G in the first run.

Paerson clocked 2 minutes, 00.54 seconds in the combined super-G and slalom runs on the Corviglia piste.

Federation was immediately interested. And after reviewing his U.S. alpine results as both a downhill racer and a ski cross racer, the federation agreed that Kerr should represent Jamaica.

Salm insists that his nation’s winter athletes should not be dismissed.

“The Jamaica bobsled team came back at the Lillehammer Winter Olympics (in 1994) and placed 14th, ahead of the United States, France and Russia,” Salm recalls. “Not a lot of people know that fact. We didn’t win a medal then, but I hear Errol has a very good chance, and our bobsled team is on track to qualify for these Olympics too.”

At every Olympics there is a team or an athlete who captures the people’s hearts and imagination. This year, could it be the ski team representing the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica?

“You should be afraid of us,” says Holmer confidently.

“There’s no reason Errol can’t medal at these Olympics.”

Holmer and Kerr expect to be marching in the Olympic opening ceremony under the Jamaican flag on Feb. 12 in Vancouver.

“The thing my father always emphasized is: Failure is not an option,” says Kerr, whose father passed away from diabetes when Errol was 12 years old.

“I’m proud to be a Jamaican, and you know what? I want to show the world what happens when you take a pair of skis and let them see how far your dreams can take you.”

D.A. Points urges on his birdie putt on the eighth hole but settles for par during the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course Friday in San Diego.

Points is tied for the lead at 11-under par.

Duo tied for lead after second round at Torrey The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — D.A. Points saved his best golf for the tougher course Friday at Torrey Pines and wound up in a share of the lead with Ryuji Imada in the Farmers Insurance Open.

Points avoided a shaky start with a series of good par saves, then finished strong with an eagle and a birdie over the final four holes on the South Course for a 7-under 65. Imada also played the South, which hosted the U.S. Open in 2008, and shot a 68.

Imada, who was runner-up to Tiger Woods by eight shots in 2008 at the PGA Tour event, has yet to make a bogey.

They were at 11-under 133, giving them a head start going into the weekend when it’s far easier to keep track of who’s doing well.

Torrey Pines has two of the most distinct courses on the PGA Tour, with the South playing 2½ shots easier than the North. Points apparently didn’t get the memo.

“Funny enough, I’ve played this course a lot more than I’ve played the other one, and I feel pretty comfortable out here,” he said.

They were two strokes ahead of Matt Every, who had a 70 on the South, and Michael Sim of Australia, who had a tournament-best 62 on the North Course and finished with an eagle.

Robert Allenby, who opened with a 67 on what he called the “real course” — the South — didn’t fare quite as well on the North as he struggled on the bumpy greens. He still had a 69 and was three shots back going into the weekend.

Phil Mickelson didn’t go as low as he wanted, but he also finished with a flourish for a 67 that left him only four shots behind in his first tournament of the year.

Mickelson spent most of his time after the round answering questions about the old Ping wedge in

his bag with square grooves, and Scott McCarron accusing him of “cheating” for using it.

“I think he’s saying the rule is a terrible rule,” Mickelson said.

More important to Mickelson is having a chance on a hometown course that has befuddled him since the South Course was revamped to accommodate a U.S. Open. Mickelson is a three-time winner at Torrey Pines, but not since 2001. A victory this week would be his third in four starts, something he has never done in his career.

The final two rounds are held on the South Course, and some believe the tournament doesn’t really start until today.

Points, with a 36-hole lead for only the third time, relishes two more days on the South.

He not only played the U.S. Open, but the Junior World Championship at Torrey Pines twice. That brought back some sour memories, although it had nothing to do with his scores.

Points said he tied for seventh at the Junior World his last year, which qualified him to compete in a junior event in Japan.

“Like a stupid kid, I didn’t go to Japan,” he said. “I went and played in the Maxfli Junior PGA because it was on ESPN, and I thought it would be cool to be on TV rather than to have the experience of going to Japan. I kind of regret that part.”

Also on Friday: Australian on top at Qatar DOHA, Qatar — Australia’s Brett Rumford shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Wales’ Bradley Dredge in the Qatar Masters. Rumford had a 9-under 1-under 135 total.

Ganassi still ’team to beat’ in Daytona’s 24 Hours

By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — David Donohue was alone and nestled in the corner of Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway for a photo shoot, watching the star drivers of Chip Ganassi Racing gobble up all the attention.

Even after winning the 24 Hours at Daytona last year, Donohue enters today’s sports car endurance race knowing he’s not the favorite.

And neither is any other driver without Ganassi stitched on the uniform.

“With the depth of the Ganassi resources,” Donohue said, “they will always be the team to beat.”

Maybe this year more than ever.

Donohue and the Brumos Racing team held off NASCAR star Juan Pablo Montoya and the starstudded lineup a year ago in the closest finish by far in the history of the event, ending Ganassi’s three-year reign atop American sports car racing’s crown jewel.

That upset in the twice-aroundthe-clock event gives this year’s race a little added spice.

Montoya will share the driver’s seat of the No. 02 BMW Riley with fellow Indianapolis 500 winners Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti, and NASCAR’s Jamie McMurray. And with Scott Pruett leading Ganassi’s No. 01 BMW Riley, the organization is not only aiming for one car at the top, it’s hoping for two.

“I would think that we are the favorites,” Montoya said. “I think everybody is looking to knock us off again. We won three in a row, and we finished second last year. This year, it would be nice if we had two cars in contention.

It would be fun if we could make that like a one-two finish.”

The loss has made Ganassi more determined than ever to reclaim the title.

Montoya and his teammates complained last year that their car was too slow and couldn’t compete with some of the other Daytona Prototypes. They believe now, for the most part, the cars are up to speed and keeping up won’t be a problem.

“As long as I don’t lose six or seven car lengths on the straightaway, I’ll be fine,” Montoya said.

“But when we were losing what I was losing last year on the straight, it wasn’t even funny.

Hopefully now, I drive, give it to the next guy and hope by the time I wake up I’m still in the race.”

Ganassi’s cars aren’t the only ones featuring big-name drivers crossing over to Grand-Am. Four-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson headlines the GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing team that has had a rough week of practice. Johnson damaged the rear of the No. 99 Chevrolet Riley on Thursday when he slammed into a wall trying to avoid a slower car.

The No. 99 car missed qualifying because of the wreck and will begin last in 45th place. The team worked overnight to get the car back on the track Friday, and Johnson said the crash shouldn’t

NASCAR giving tracks financial relief The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has alleviated some of the financial strain on racetracks during the rough economic climate.

The sanctioning body has lowered the fee it charges to hold NASCAR races, and the trickle down affects nearly every aspect of events. The reduction should allow track owners to reduce ticket prices and lower various fees associated with holding a race.

It also will affect prize money, which is largely determined by track profit. High-profile tracks like Daytona, Texas and Indianapolis pay a much higher sanctioning fee to NASCAR than smaller venues like Dover, Darlington and Martinsville — and the purses reflect that.

Tracks have suffered during the tough economy because of declining attendance and less money from sponsors.

change the way they run because the length of the race makes starting position less important.

Max Angelelli took the pole Thursday, and Ozz Negri will start outside him on the front row. The No. 02 Ganassi led by Montoya will start fourth, and the No. 01 will be fifth. Donohue will be seventh with Brumos

Racing.

Johnson says that even with all he has accomplished in NASCAR, he’d like to win a 24 Hours title.

“It would be really high on my list of accomplishments because it’s so different than the rest of the stuff I run,” he said. “It’s a helluva adventure.”

One that won’t be easy.

Most NASCAR drivers said the toughest part about weaving around the 3.56-mile road course — not including the winding infield, the NASCAR oval’s high banks and the narrow turns — is navigating through traffic. Especially with Daytona Prototypes running straightaway speeds at

least 20 mph faster than the GT cars that will also be racing.

Then there’s trying to rest amid the endless endurance race. Switching drivers. The different strategy.

All things Ganassi does best.

For Donohue, that’s what made his win for Brumos so special. He said the recognition he received

from other drivers and crew members was overwhelming.

But winning once might not be enough to be on Ganassi’s level.

“I never would have guessed one race win would have meant so much, but it has,” Donohue said. “But I guess we have to repeat to get that level of attention.”

What’s Outside Counts Too

Neighborhood amenities can add as much value to a home as the number of its bedrooms and bathrooms.

by Annissa Anderson, for The Bulletin Advertising Department In an August 2009 report from “CEOs for Cities” entitled “Walking the Walk: How Walkability Raises Home Values in U.S. Cities,” the authors concluded, “More than just a pleasant amenity, the ‘walkability’ of cities translates directly into increases in home values. Homes located in more ‘walkable’ neighborhoods—those with a mix of common daily shopping and social destinations within a short distance—command a price premium over otherwise similar homes in less ‘walkable’ areas.”

In other words, home buyers may find that having the ability to get out and about without depending on a car is as important a feature as the number of bathrooms in the home. And although it is not a line item on an MLS listing, a “walk score” can be obtained as a broad estimate of its proximity to neighborhood amenities.

The CEOs for Cities report compared home locations using an algorithm called the Walk Score (www.walkscore.com).

Walk Score measures the number of typical consumer destinations within a short distance of a house, with scores ranging from zero (car dependent) to 100 (having many amenities nearby).

The basis of distance relative to these destinations is generally between onequarter mile and one mile of a home.

Among the criteria used by Walk Score to rate a neighborhood are its proximity to a discernible commercial center, schools

and workplaces, and parks and public spaces. Also taken into account is a neighborhood’s density, whether it has a variety of incomes and mixed uses, and if it utilizes a pedestrian-friendly design.

The CEO for Cities report finding has some bearing on recent real estate sales in Bend.

“Walkability is certainly a component of the success of NorthWest Crossing,” said David Ford, general manager for NorthWest Crossing.

Ford cites a stabilized market share for NorthWest Crossing in 2009, a year when home sales in many other Bend developments and neighborhoods stagnated or fell. Fifty-four homes were sold in the NorthWest Crossing neighborhood during 2009 at a median sale price of $378,461.

Bend’s NorthWest Crossing neighborhood fits the bill for many of the criteria set out by Walk Score. In fact, one home address on NorthWest Crossing’s NW Fort Clatsop Street scored 94 out of 100 points for walkability on the Walk Score Web site, putting the home in its “Walkers’ Paradise” category. The average walk score in Bend is 50 points.

Ford said the development was conceived with a “mixed-use, new urbanist approach.” The neighborhood was designed to provide residents with connections both within the neighborhood including shops, restaurants, schools and parks, and with the surrounding city via a connective path system.

NorthWest Crossing is also located close to stops for Bend’s public transit system.

The city’s transit system has reported that its highest level of ridership comes from the line that directly serves the neighborhood.

“We’ve sold more homes in NorthWest Crossing [in 2009] than in any other development,” said Terry Skjersaa, broker at Duke Warner Realty.

Skjersaa said part of NorthWest Crossing’s appeal is that it is close to schools, restaurants and places of employment for many of its residents.

“Walkability is a fairly common request, especially with buyers that are new to the area,” said Skjersaa. “When gas prices went up to an all-time high, it brought more awareness to walkability and bikeability.”

Skjersaa cites what he calls the “core westside” from the Bend parkway to NW 14th Avenue as one of the more walkable areas of Bend.

This may be one reason why, during 2009, the median residential home price for the northwest section of Bend was $348,000, a figure substantially higher then the $211,875 median residential home price for the whole of Bend. Square footage, amenities, location, view, and other factors can also contribute to this variance.

But there are other areas of Bend that people find to be conveniently located.

Condominium and townhome buyers who want to be close to shopping, recreation and dining find a lot of appeal in the Old Mill District, said Colleen McNally, marketing/broker for Taft Dire Real Estate Resources. Buyers who have purchased condos in The Plaza located in the Old Mill District, for example, have been “very, very interested in having immediate access to the amenities of the Old Mill, trails and downtown,” said McNally.

In addition to The Plaza, McNally cites Rocky Point Townhomes, located just a few blocks north of downtown Bend and NorthWest Crossing as areas that appeal to her clients looking for walkable residential areas. Although McNally finds the Walk Score data for Bend residential properties limited in comparison to larger cities such as Portland, she has used the Web site as a resource.

“I think it’s important for people to know how to get around in another fashion [other] than just jumping in their car,” she said.

This includes bicycling and taking the bus in addition to walking.

“When gas prices went up to an alltime high, it brought more awareness to walkability and bikeability.”
