Court fees so far bring criticism, not enough cash

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

Students work together in reading groups. Teachers work together to identify what students need help with. Local schools using the system are seeing success.

Dean Guernsey / The Bulletin

First-graders Joana Guzman, Trinity Larson, Lars Wheeler, Austin Wheeler and Luke Williams participate in a small reading group last week at Juniper Elementary School. Students spend time in small groups each day to work on literacy skills.

A slate of new fees and fee hikes implemented last fall to prevent major cuts to the state’s court system are bringing in less revenue than expected — and facing criticism from some who say higher fees could create hardships for people who need court services.

For the current biennium, the state cut support for courts by $52 million, or about 15 percent. In a move to help soften the blow, the Legislature approved a long list of fee adjustments estimated to bring in nearly $40 million by the end of the 2010-11 fiscal year. Those actions were the latest in a series of reductions to the Oregon Judicial Department’s budget. Last winter, legislators voted to cut about $11 million from state courts.

So far, the department has avoided some of the cuts it had previously threatened, such as Friday court closures or drastic reductions to court-run mental health, drug and domestic violence treatment programs. But officials say the fees aren’t coming in fast enough to prevent future cuts, and worry that higher fees could be preventing some people from using the state’s justice system.

“These funds help support an open system, but they create access barriers,” said Phillip Lemman, a spokesman for the Oregon Judicial Department.

“Anytime you increase the price of a service, it creates a barrier. We understood that, but in order to maintain an open court system, we had to find a way to raise the money to do that.”

Meet the new public – and sympathetic – face of gun rights

here was a time when, at the start of each day, teachers could enter their classrooms, close their doors, and spend the day teaching with their own rules and their own schedules.

Those days are over.

A new academic system in place at 10 elementary schools seeks to create schoolwide schedules, rules and curricula that bring students and teachers in each grade together more regularly with the ultimate goal of helping

students achieve more.

The Oregon Department of Education has provided the Bend-La Pine school district with two grants, totaling $64,000, to help implement the programs in area elementary schools, and Director of Curriculum Development Lora Nordquist said schools are already seeing a jump in student learning.

“We’re looking at systems in schools and what we now have in place very quickly identifies kids who are not learning effectively,” she said. “Once we have them identified, now we have interventions to help them.”

Sean Reinhart, a school psychologist heading

up the program, said it allows schools and teachers to find and help kids with deficiencies earlier.

“Now, the system finds the child rather than the child finding the system,” he said.

The effective behavior and instructional support system starts with strong classroom instruction. Teachers have received professional development to help strengthen how they instruct students. Under the system’s theory, with good instruction, 80 percent of students should be able to pick up and master skills taught in class, while the other 20 percent of students are likely to struggle with some of the concepts.

WASHINGTON — Brian Turner was focused on staying alive, not poetry, when he served as an infantry team leader in Iraq.

But he quickly saw that his experience — “a year of complete boredom punctuated by these very intense moments” — lent itself to the tautness of verse.

The result was a collection

A bonanza for app developers One firm puts app stores’ total revenue at $4.2B last year

A capacity crowd of app developers fills a conference room recently at the Cira Centre in Philadelphia to pitch their products and network. Analysts expect app stores to reach $29.5 billion in revenue by 2013.

By Carolyn Davis The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — In the fast-moving world of mobile computing, small is all, and apps for BlackBerrys, iPhones, Droids and other gadgets are the sultans of software.

Which translates into a bonanza of business opportunities for app developers.

App stores had more than $4.2 billion in revenue last year, according to Gartner Inc., which tracks information technology worldwide. Analysts expect that to increase to $29.5 billion by 2013.

“Today’s mobile phones are as powerful as many desktop PCs — more so, if you consider that they’re also location-aware, and have a built-in billing and payment system,” said Lisa Allen, a board director of Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic, the local chapter of a global group that aims to foster education and networking among the mobile-development crowd.

“We’re seeing people run their entire lives, even their entire businesses, from their mobile phones,” she said.

Apple’s introduction last week of the iPad, a 10-inch touch-screen computer sized somewhere between a laptop and an iPhone, is expected to fuel the apps boom still more. Current iPhone apps can be downloaded onto the iPad, and developers are being sought to build applications for Amazon’s Kindle wireless electronic reader, its chief rival.

“Apps offer individual, independent entrepreneurs the ability to own precious real estate on their

“We’re seeing people run their entire lives, even their entire businesses, from their mobile phones.”

— Lisa Allen, Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic

customers’ phones,” said Mickey Alam Khan, editor of the trade publications Mobile Marketer and Mobile Commerce Daily. They “also open up another revenue stream in addition to the Web.” At a recent Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic gathering in Philadelphia, Ryan Meinzer eagerly demonstrated mobile-phone programs and seven apps that his company, PlaySay Inc., of Philadelphia, offers for sale for $10 to $30 at Apple’s App Store.

Meinzer, 26, created the apps — which teach Chinese, Japanese and Spanish — in 2008, while working at a Tokyo marketing company. The lessons are a series of digital vocabulary flash cards

Web sites help online data survive beyond the grave

that include audio pronunciations, a technique called an “enhanced podcast,” he said.

Meinzer moved to Philadelphia over the summer after rejecting San Francisco (too pricey) and New York (too big). Philadelphia was just right, he said, because of its affordability and a vibrant entrepreneurial community he learned about through the group Philly Startup Leaders.

“Everyone I spoke to knew everyone else,” he said.

Working more on his own is Matt Campbell, 35, who makes apps and teaches others to do the same in a nearly paperless home office in Langhorne, Pa. In 2008, Campbell was a data

analyst for Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N.J., when he heard Apple was opening the App Store. “’I probably could do that as a hobby,’” he remembers thinking to himself.

To build apps for the iPhone and iPod touch, sold exclusively through Apple, a developer must pay $99 yearly to be in the iPhone developer program. Apple must approve an app before it can go into the store, and the developer cedes 30 percent of the revenue to the company.

Campbell’s first app, a simpler version of his current Tasting Notes, was for keeping tabs on wine preferences. He revised it to include beer, whiskey and cigars.

Initially, it cost $4.99, a high price for an App Store download, Campbell said. He reduced it to $2.99 and has earned $10,000 from its sales.

Building an app takes one to three months, Campbell said, with little outlay of cash since he mainly does the work himself.

Last year, he began teaching

others to build apps for the iPhone through his Web site (Howto makeiphoneapps.com), an electronic book he wrote and a New York company called iPhone Boot Camp, which holds workshops around the country.

Campbell quit his day job in late 2008 (his wife kept hers). Last year, he said, he earned between $50,000 and $60,000.

Some app developers earn big money by luring people into activities they never knew they loved.

In the game Pocket God, for instance, users nurture or torment cartoon islanders. It recently hit 2 million downloads, making it an app giant.

“I think people want to have a quick joke” and show it to their friends at happy hour, said its programming creator, Dave Castelnuovo, founder of Bolt Creative in San Francisco. That helped him earn $300,000 last year, he said.

“You can have all the right reasons why an app should succeed, but at the end of the day, it really depends on what people like and buy,” he said.

WASHINGTON — Heather Pierce lives in Washington, but much of her life floats in the cloud.

Her e-mail is stored in that vast digital space, bouncing between Yahoo server farms. Her bank statements reside there, too, along with her mortgage payments, credit card files, movie rental account, library book list, home videos and hundreds of photos — on Shutterfly, Facebook and her blog.

She has only a few hard-copy photos of her 17-month-old daughter.

If Pierce’s house caught fire, what would she dash in to save?

Not much, probably. “All of that important stuff is online now,” she said. “That’s where our lives are.”

Which is why Pierce, 38, recently paid $29.99 to sign up for a year’s access to yet another account in the cloud — one that stores all her passwords and login information and, when the worst happens, will be accessible to whomever she designates as digital executor. On its Web site, under serene pictures of clouds against a deep blue sky, the company calls its service “a digital safety deposit box.”

Pierce’s backup service, San Francisco-based Legacy Locker, is one of a dozen businesses that have sprung up to help denizens of the digital world grapple with the thorny issues raised after your physical being leaves behind only its virtual reality. Internet experts and estate planners say a cybercrisis is brewing because popular Internet services have policies that, barring an order from a court, forbid accessing or transferring accounts — including recovering money — unless someone has the password.

The legal fog affects not only personal lives — the photo site Flickr has 40 million members — but millions of business accounts on such sites as eBay and PayPal and the virtual community of Second Life, which generated $55 million of real money for us-

“Ten or 15 years ago, someone could go into your house and find the paper trail if you die. Now the paper trail is online.”

— Karin Prangley, lawyer

ers last year. Despite our increasing reliance on cloud computing — storing all sorts of data online through Web applications — very few Internet users have begun to think about what happens to all that data should we get hit by a bus.

“We haven’t truly seen the breadth of this issue play out yet, but I’m telling you, this is a huge problem,” said Chicago lawyer Karin Prangley, who has spoken on the topic at conferences. “Ten or 15 years ago, someone could go into your house and find the paper trail if you die. Now the paper trail is online.”

Naturally, so are the proposed solutions. The dot-coms occupying the new digital beyond run the gamut from pure password storage sites like Legacy Locker — a competitor in Switzerland promises a “Swiss bank” for assets — to such startups as Bcelebrated.com, which helps users create online memorials that go live after they die and e-mails to be sent from the grave.

“Back in the day, we never moved far from home, and people could read about our deaths in the obit column,” said Debra Joy, founder of Bcelebrated.com. “But now we move around, we have friends around the world that we connect with on the Internet. We need to reach them somehow.”

T S Obama invites GOP to summit Defying the West,

By Michael D. Shear WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama moved to jumpstart the stalled health care debate Sunday, inviting Republicans in Congress to participate in a bipartisan, half-day televised summit on the subject this month.

The president made the offer in an interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric hours before the network televised the Super

HEALTH CARE REFORM Bowl. Obama challenged Republicans, who have been largely unified in opposing his proposals, to bring their best ideas for how to cover more Americans and fix the health insurance system to the public discussion.

“I want to consult closely with our Republican colleagues,” Obama said. “What I want to do is to ask them to put their ideas on the table. ... I want to come back and have a large meeting, Republicans and Democrats to go through, systematically, all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward.”

The invitation to meet together on Feb. 25 — and to do so live in front of the American public —

represents an effort by Obama to hit the reset button on the top domestic priority of his first year in office. It also reflects a recognition that he must have at least some Republican support if he hopes to see health care reform pass.

Democratic efforts to push a final health bill through Congress without GOP support fell apart last month when the president’s party lost its 60-seat, filibusterproof majority in the Senate.

President, Republicans trade barbs on terror

By Peter Baker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The White House pushed back Sunday against Republican criticism of its approach to terrorism, calling it “not anchored in reality” as a national security debate that was largely muted in recent years roared back to center stage with an angry intensity.

After a week of sustained attacks led by former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and a host of congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama and his aides argued that they were handling terror suspects much as the previous administration did, dismissing Republican complaints as politically motivated.

“The most important thing for the public to understand is we’re not handling any of these cases any different than the Bush administration handled them all through 9/11,” Obama told CBS News on Sunday. “They prosecuted 190 folks in these Article Three courts,” he added, referring to civilian courts. “Got convictions.

And those folks are in maximum security prisons right now. And there have been no escapes.”

Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, was more scathing about the Republican criticism. “Quite frankly, I am tiring of politicians using national security issues such as terrorism as a political football,” Brennan, a longtime Central Intelligence Agency officer, who also worked under President George W. Bush, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

An explosion Sunday at the Kleen Energy Systems power plant under construction along the Connecticut River in Middletown, Conn., was felt as far as 30 miles away.

At least 5 are dead in blast at Connecticut power plant

By Robert D. McFadden New York Times News Service

A power plant under construction in central Connecticut exploded with earthquake force that shook homes as far as 30 miles away on Sunday as workers purged natural gas lines that were to go into use this year. At least five people were killed and more than two dozen injured when a section of the plant col-

lapsed and burned.

Witnesses said the explosion at the Kleen Energy Systems plant in Middletown, Conn., 15 miles south of Hartford, occurred at 11:17 a.m. in a thundering convulsion of flames and smoke seen for miles around and felt as far away as cities and towns on Long Island Sound, 30 miles away.

As towering plumes of dark smoke poured into a dazzling

blue sky, scores of ambulances, fire engines, police cars and helicopters streamed to the scene on the west bank of the Connecticut River on the southern outskirts of the city, home of Wesleyan University.

Fire and rescue teams from Middletown, Durham, Portland, Cromwell and other towns converged as crews fought the blaze into the afternoon.

U.S. works Palin ‘won’t close door’ on possible presidential bid to remove junk food from schools NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Sarah Palin said she “won’t close the door” on a potential presidential bid during an interview on the “Fox News Sunday” program.

“It would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country,” she said. “I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.”

Asked why she wouldn’t run for president, the former Alas-

ka governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee responded that she would.

“I would if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family,” she said. “Certainly, I would do so.”

Palin, 45, said she is receiving daily e-mail briefings on domestic and foreign policy from a group of Washington advisers and that she is more knowledgeable on those topics than in 2008.

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Citing industry objections, the Transportation Security Administration is preparing to scale back a controversial plan to expand aviation security rules for the first time to thousands of private planes.

TSA officials said this week they expect to issue a revised plan this fall that will significantly reduce from 15,000 the number of U.S.-registered general-aviation aircraft subjected to tougher rules. Also, instead of mandating that all passengers aboard private planes be checked against terrorist watch lists, name checks in many cases could be left to the discretion of pilots, they said.

The shifts would mark significant rollbacks of security changes that supporters called overdue and essential to preventing terrorists from using small planes to smuggle dangerous weapons or carry out suicide attacks. Opponents, however, called the measures unwarranted, poorly thought out and overly burdensome on aircraft owners and manufacturers.

“With the current threat environment ... I find it rather shocking that they would retreat,” said consultant Glen Winn, former United and Continental airlines security chief. “I would hope there’s a review in process before this is put in motion.”

ROME AND BEIRUT — In a possible move to deflect attention from Iran’s political woes, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday ordered the nation’s atomic energy agency to begin enriching uranium from 3.5 percent to 20 percent purity to serve as fuel for a Tehran medical reactor.

“Please start 20 percent enrichment, though we are still in talks about a fuel exchange,” he told Iran’s atomic energy chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, during a live television appearance. “We are ready for exchange. But if the Western governments don’t like an exchange, we go our own way.”

The West accuses Iran of dragging its feet in responding to a U.N.-backed proposal to ex-

Victory claim disputed in Ukraine KIEV, Ukraine — Pro-Russian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych declared victory in Ukraine’s presidential runoff but his opponent rejected the claim, saying the vote was too close to call.

Exit polls showed Yanukovych — the main foe of protesters in Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution — with a narrow lead in Sunday’s vote over Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, a key figure in those pro-democracy protests.

Ukraine’s Central Election Commission reported early today that Yanukovych was ahead 49.2 percent to 45.2 percent with 61.7 percent of the vote counted.

change the bulk of its enriched uranium supply for reactor fuel plates for the Tehran medical reactor.

Tehran accuses the West of refusing to negotiate in good faith or to address Iranian concerns about details of the deal.

With talks faltering, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in Rome on Sunday that Washington and its allies would consider new sanctions to pressure Iran into curbing aspects of its nuclear program.

“If the international community will stand together and bring pressure to bear on the Iranian government, I believe there is still time for sanctions and pressure to work,” Gates said at a news conference in Italy where he has been meeting with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa.

D.C. region digs out, but more snow ahead The Washington Post WASHINGTON — In the aftermath of the weekend’s massive snowstorm, the region came to grips with the fact that digging out will take days, even as more potentially paralyzing winter weather appeared headed this way by Tuesday.

Snow might be falling again by the time the first snowplow arrives to carve a path into some neighborhoods isolated by about 2 feet of snow from the storm that ended Saturday. Although

the National Weather Service said the next storm had the “potential for more than 5 inches,” other forecasts indicated that as much as a foot might fall.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will begin a drive this week to expel Pepsi, french fries and Snickers bars from the nation’s schools in hopes of reducing the number of children who get fat during their school years.

In legislation soon to be introduced, candy and sugary beverages would be banned, and many schools would be required to offer more nutritious fare.

To that end, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will deliver a speech today at the National Press Club in which he will insist, according to excerpts provided to The Times, that any vending machines that remain in schools be “filled with nutritious offerings to make the healthy choice the easy choice for our nation’s children.”

The first lady, Michelle Obama, said last month that she would lead an initiative to reduce childhood obesity, and her involvement “shows the importance all of us place on this issue,” Vilsack said.

The administration’s willingness to put the first lady’s popularity on the line is a calculated bet that concerns about childhood obesity have become so universal that the once-partisan fight over who should control school-food offerings — the federal government or school boards — has subsided.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Divisions emerged within the group of 10 Americans jailed in Haiti on child abduction charges, with eight of them signing a note over the weekend saying that they had been misled by Laura Silsby, the leader of the group.

Edwin Coq, who had been representing the group, said he stepped down in a fee dispute.

But another lawyer, Jorge Puello, based in the Dominican Republic, told The Associated Press on Saturday that he fired Coq after Coq tried to buy the Americans’ way out of jail in an extortion scheme.

Iraq court given time to review candidates BAGHDAD — Iraq staggered toward a resolution of its election crisis on Sunday as the country’s leaders gave an appeals court time to reconsider a ban on hundreds of candidates barred from next month’s election because of alleged links to Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party.

Iraq Continued from A1 “Poetry was the perfect vehicle,” said Turner, who earned a master of fine arts degree from the University of Oregon before joining the Army. “The page was the place where I could think about what had happened.”

Turner is a literal foot soldier in what might be called the wellwritten war: a recent outpouring of memoirs, fiction, poetry, blogs and even some readable military reports by combatants in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Soldier-writers have long produced American literature, from Ulysses S. Grant’s memoirs about the Civil War to Norman Mailer’s World War II novel, “The Naked and the Dead,” to Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried,” about Vietnam.

Different war, different writers The current group is different. As part of a modern all-volunteer force, they explore the timeless theme of the futility of war — but wars that they for the most part support. The books, many written as rites of passage by members of a highly educated young officer corps, are filled with gore, inept commanders and anguish over men lost in combat, but not questions about the conflicts themselves.

The writers say one goal is to explain the complexities of the wars — Afghan and Iraqi politics, technology, the counterinsurgency doctrine of protecting local populations rather than just killing bad guys — to a wider audience. Their efforts, embraced by top commanders, have even bled into military reports that stand out for their accessible prose.

“The importance of good official writing is so critical in reaching a broader audience to get people to understand what we’re trying to do,” said Capt.

Matt Pottinger, a Marine and former reporter for The Wall Street Journal who is a co-author of the report “Fixing Intel,” an indictment of American intelligence-gathering efforts in Afghanistan. “Even formal military doctrine is well served by a colloquial style of writing.”

The report, overseen by the top military intelligence officer in Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Michael Flynn, is an anecdote-rich argument against intelligence officers who pursue secrets about insurgents but ignore data for winning the war right in front of them — local economics, village politics and tribal power brokers.

Another report, an unreleased Army history about the battle of Wanat in July 2008 — the “Black Hawk Down” of Afghanistan — unfolds in stiffer prose but

Learning Continued from A1 That’s where the system comes into play. Participating schools have developed master schedules that include long periods of reading instruction with built-in breakout times when all students meet in small groups to focus on particular literacy skills. Kids who are struggling with specific concepts meet in groups together to get extra time to master the skills; students ahead of the curve get enrichment time.

The groups are headed by education assistants and classroom teachers. In addition, students are regularly given short tests to see whether they’ve mastered certain skills; those results are then used to determine whether the interventions are working.

When a student takes an assessment at Juniper Elementary, the score is recorded in a booklet. On the booklet’s cover is a chart showing the scores and how close they come to the end-of-year target, which is for students to achieve the state’s benchmark score.

Extra lessons, if needed The schedules also create time for teachers to meet regularly to discuss their students, look at the data and determine what other help students might need.

In the past, Nordquist said, students were most often referred for intervention through their classroom teachers. But there weren’t any set guidelines. Now, teachers work together and use data to determine what skills students are missing, then give them extra lessons on those lacking skills.

“There wasn’t a common denominator of why a student was being brought forward,” Nordquist said.

Now, if fewer than 80 percent of students are picking up the skills,

builds a strong narrative. Written by Douglas Cubbison, a military historian at the Army’s Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the draft report lays bare the failures of an American unit to engage the local population in a village in eastern Afghanistan — “these people, they disgust me,” one soldier is quoted as saying — and graphically tells the story of the firefight that killed nine Americans.

Most of the writing by combatants has been memoirs that bear witness to battles of their own. Craig Mullaney, a former Ranger and Army captain, writes in “The Unforgiving Minute” of a 2003 ambush on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border that killed one of his men, Evan O’Neill.

“Small-caliber rounds dented the Humvees around me, but it was strangely silent, as if someone had pressed the mute button. ... All I could remember were those eyes, glacial-blue, like my brother’s. There’s no way O’Neill’s dead. This wasn’t a game or an exercise or a movie; these were real soldiers with real blood and real families waiting back home. What had I done wrong?”

Wrestling with ghosts Mullaney, who has left the Army and is now a Pentagon official handling policy for Central Asia, said he wrote his book in part as catharsis, and as a way of telling Pvt. 1st Class O’Neill’s parents what had happened to their son. “I had a lot of ghosts I was still wrestling with,” he said.

“I thought by writing I could make some sense of this jumble of experiences and memories and doubts and fears.”

Other books started as soldier blogs, at least before commanders shut them, among them “My War” by Colby Buzzell, a former machine gunner in Iraq. Another soldier’s blog, shut by the Army in 2008 but to be published as a book in April, is “Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War,” by Matt Gallagher, a former Army officer in Iraq.

So far there are relatively few novels, although “The Mullah’s Storm” by Tom Young, a flight engineer in the Air National Guard, is to be published in the fall. The story is about a soldier shot down in Afghanistan.

O’Brien, whose own memoir, “If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home,” was published in 1973, said that the dearth of novels did not surprise him. His first war novel, “Going After Cacciato,” was not published until 1978. “The Things They Carried” was published in 1990. Soldiers need more time to explore “what happened inside,” O’Brien said — suggesting that the flow of their war books will not stop anytime soon.

then the problem likely lies with the instruction, not the students.

Jewell Elementary was the first school to pick up the system about five years ago, and Principal Bruce Reynolds credits the 97 percent of students who passed the state’s reading test to the system’s effectiveness.

“The system has allowed us to almost offer individually designed instruction,” he said.

Because teachers are able to offer more specific help to struggling students, they’re catching up to their peers. As a result, the school has cut down on the number of students who are referred for special education testing.

“It’s more systematic now,” he said. “Where special ed was the solution, now it’s more of a consultant.”

Juniper Elementary is in its first year using the model, although it has used the positive behavior system for about 10 years, to great effect.

The behavior system uses similar methods to determine which students are particularly struggling with attendance and behavior issues, then target them with specific help.

In a classroom at Juniper on Friday, students were in the midst of reading with small groups. Also in the room were a series of wall charts with green, yellow and red sections.

A card and a group Each student has a card with test results and other literacy indicators, like reading speed and fluency. Depending on how well students perform on reading assessments, their cards are placed in the different areas of the chart.

Once a month, teachers meet to look at scores and other indicators to determine whether students should be moved to new reading groups.

The school also uses the charts for monitoring behavior; stu-

Toyota is said to plan a recall for 311K Priuses

By Hiroko Tabuchi New York Times News Service

Itsuo Inouye / The Associated Press

Toyota’s latest Prius hybrid model is displayed at a museum in Toyota, central Japan. The town was renamed after the company 51 years ago, and it hosts the corporate headquarters as well as enormous factories. Even so, residents there have been troubled by the company’s response to recent problems.

Toyota Continued from A1 Residents say they, like the rest of the world, were surprised by the safety problems that have led to a mass recall of Toyota vehicles.

But it was the company’s response that was more shocking — the global icon came across as dithering and unprepared.

“Maybe Toyota isn’t any different from ordinary companies,” said Akari Mizunaga, who works at a local trading company that depends on Toyota for much of its business. She spoke while killing time at a cafe before an English lesson.

As the company grew in the 1930s from its roots as a producer of mechanical looms, it has transformed the formerly rural town into a thriving municipality. Toyota dealerships are strung along the city’s main street, and the automaker’s curly T logo is everywhere — on cars, signs and buildings.

“You can’t really separate the town from the company,” said Hideki Nagata, who works independently in auto repair. “And now there is this sense of — are we OK?” None of the people interviewed in Toyota said they would hesitate to buy one of the company’s vehicles in the future, and several said they thought the automaker would now work harder to ensure quality. But there was a palpable disappointment in the way it had handled the recent safety concerns, almost as if let down by a relative.

Akio Toyoda, who took over the company in June, is a grandson of Toyota’s founder and was seen as a charismatic choice that would lead it back from deep losses incurred during the global economic slump.

But the company’s leader kept a low profile after Toyota an-

dents with attendance problems or repeated referrals to the office for misbehavior may be in the red zone, while students who are regularly attending school and have no behavior problems have their cards in the green section.

For example, students whose behavior is in the yellow zone may be placed in small lunch groups to promote social skills.

Students in the red zone get more attention, like meetings with parents to create a specific behavior plan.

A few years ago, the behavior chart indicated that a high number of students were having behavior problems during recess, which fell after lunch, said Maria Madden, an administrator at Juniper Elementary.

The school moved recess to before lunch, and found that behavior referrals dropped significantly.

“It wasn’t the kids who were failing,” Madden said. “The system was failing the kids.”

And the school is also currently implementing the academic system as well.

Although Juniper has only used the system since last fall, Madden said she’s already seeing improvements.

“We’re reducing the number of students in yellow, and they’re going to green,” she said.

Next week, teachers will meet to examine data and switch students to different reading groups depending on gains students may have made.

The system, administrators say, is empowering.

“There was a lot of, ‘Boy this kid’s got a tough life,’” Reinhart said. “And we’d admire the problem, and wring our hands. But there was no system in place to make something different happen.”

nounced a recall last month to fix defective gas pedals in a number of its mainline models that could cause sudden acceleration. Together with earlier recalls, that has covered more than 7 million cars in the U.S., Europe and China.

Response not enough?

Toyoda was briefly cornered for an interview by a Japanese TV crew a week later in Switzerland, then finally gave a press conference on Friday, which was widely panned by Japanese media as belated and unconvincing.

The company name is spelled and pronounced differently from the founding family name because Toyota is written in Japanese script with eight brush strokes, considered luckier than the 10 required for the family name.

Toyota’s problems have even spread to the prized Prius hybrid after complaints in the United States and Japan about problems with its complex braking system.

The quality issues threaten two of the company’s core assets — its sterling reputation for reliability and safety, and its world-beating technology.

In the company museum at corporate headquarters — where the address is 1 Toyota Town — there is nothing subtle about the safety message. Main exhibits are devoted to subjects like “Active Safety,” “Passive Safety” and “Intelligent Safety.” A large room in a prime

location next to the entrance is devoted to the hybrid, with a dissected, flashing Prius demonstrating how it works.

Kazuhide Ueyama, 54, visited the museum Saturday on a tour from his home in Osaka, about 100 miles away.

“This trip was planned before these problems came up, but everyone was talking about it on the bus over here,” he said, referring to the recall woes. “I have no doubt they will deal with the problems firmly, but it does raise some questions.”

The city, 150 miles southwest of Tokyo, has suffered in the latest global downturn along with the company, which cut temporary workers at its Japan plants to 3,000 workers at the end of last fiscal year from 9,000 a year earlier.

Toyota sank to its first annual loss in nearly 60 years last fiscal year, and as the automaker’s tax payments fell the city’s income has also shrunk.

The Toyota city government expects its corporate tax revenue to fall 96 percent to 1.6 billion yen ($18 million) this fiscal year through March, down from 44.2 billion yen ($490 million) the previous year. City officials don’t release a breakdown of contributions by individual companies, but confirmed that Toyota’s contribution is “well over” 50 percent.

Local media reports have put the figure at 70 percent.

TOKYO — Toyota plans to recall at least 311,000 of its 2010 Prius hybrid models after receiving a flurry of complaints about the vehicle’s brakes, a person briefed on the decision said early today.

The decision is to be announced early this week, this person said. It comes after Toyota’s recall of about 8 million cars worldwide over gas pedals that could stick or become caught on floor mats. The size of the recalls and questions about Toyota’s slow response to safety concerns have stung the automaker, which built its reputation on vehicle quality.

Regulators in the United States opened an investigation into the brakes of the 2010 Prius last week after complaints from drivers who said they had been briefly unable to stop their cars on uneven surfaces.

The Japanese government has said it is also looking into the matter after similar complaints were reported in Japan.

Toyota executives acknowledged Thursday that the company had identified a flaw in the car’s braking system and corrected it for Priuses built since late January, which would not be part of the recall. The Prius, which runs on a combination of gasoline and electric power, was redesigned for the 2010 model year.

Toyota sold about 311,000 Priuses for the 2010 model year as of the end of December, including 103,000 in the United States and 176,000 in Japan.

An announcement will come early this week and cover all regions where the latest model has been sold, said the person briefed on the plan, who was not authorized to speak on the record.

Guns

Fees

Continued from A1 Amid the clamor of the gunrights debate, McDonald presents a strongly sympathetic figure: an elderly man who wants a gun to protect himself from the hoodlums preying upon his neighborhood. But the story of McDonald and his lawsuit is more complicated than its broad outlines might suggest. McDonald and three coplaintiffs were carefully recruited by gun-rights groups attempting to shift the public perception of the Second Amendment as a white, rural Republican issue. McDonald, a Democrat and longtime hunter, jokes that he was chosen as lead plaintiff because he is African-American.

And no matter what the court — and the public — might make of his story or his case, legal experts say McDonald is poised to become an enduring symbol.

“Regardless of how this case goes, Mr. McDonald’s name is set in legal history, at the same level as Roe v. Wade and Plessy v. Ferguson,” said Nicholas Johnson, a law professor at Fordham University. “Schoolkids are going to recognize that in this case, something dramatic happened.”

Continued from A1 The new fees and fee adjustments are complex, with some rates changing depending on the number of plaintiffs involved in a civil case or the amount of money a plaintiff is seeking. Defendants applying for drunken driving or drug diversion programs and people ordered to serve court-supervised probation now must pay an additional $100 fee. Felony and misdemeanor charges come with a new $35 surcharge, while getting a conviction or arrest wiped off a criminal record has a $250 charge.

Since the changes went into effect, Lemman said his office has heard from attorneys who say the fee hikes are creating a big burden.

La Pine attorney Jennifer Wells said she’s had to up her rates as a result of the changes, which she said are too complex.

“If they’re going to raise the filing fee, just raise the initial fee, so you don’t say I have to send $50 in with this, $175 in for this,” she said. “It’s frustrating for the client.”

Wells worries that the money generated from the higher fees won’t be used directly to pay for related court programs.

“If it’s just going to the general fund to be spent, it’s basically a tax without calling it a tax,” she said.

Through January, the adjusted fees and surcharges brought in about $4.1 million.

The changes are effective through June 30, 2011, the end of the next fiscal year.

But Lemman said lawmakers aren’t going to wait that long to look closely at how the fees are working.

A committee with members from the Legislature and a handful of public agencies is currently studying the Judicial Department’s financial situation and tracking the impacts of the fee changes.

Years of debate Just 19 months ago, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Washington, D.C., handgun ban in a landmark ruling that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own a firearm for self-defense. That decision, in District of Columbia v. Heller, was a result of years of work by libertarian advocates who in 2001 had spotted an intriguing 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that they believed opened a crack in decades of legal precedent.

Since the early 1900s, federal courts and most state courts had agreed that the Second Amendment protected only a collective right to bear arms, which, at the time the Constitution was framed, was considered integral to maintaining militias. But the 5th Circuit decision in United States v.

Emerson bucked that precedent, ruling that the amendment protected an individual right — to possess a gun in the home for self-defense, for example. As the libertarian advocates had hoped, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed in the Heller case, handing down a historic decision that energized the gun-rights movement. But because Washington is a federal district, the decision did not apply to states and other cities.

So, the battle shifted to Chicago, an obvious second front because the city’s handgun ban was widely considered the strictest in the nation behind the Washington law. By early 2008, Alan Gura, the Virginia-based attorney who successfully argued the Heller case, had spread the word that he was looking for litigants in Chicago.

Financed by the Second Amendment Foundation, a gun-rights group based in Bellevue, Wash., Gura interviewed about a dozen Chicagoans, first by phone and email, and then in person.

His goal was to find a diverse group of individuals willing to represent the cause. “You want good people who can tell the story well and in a way that the public can connect with,” Gura said.

The plaintiffs He eventually settled on four people: Adam Orlov, a white, 40year-old libertarian who lives in Old Town and is a partner in an equity options trading firm; David Lawson, a white, 44-year-old software engineer who lives in Irving Park and keeps a collection of old guns outside the city; Lawson’s wife, Colleen, a multiracial 51-year-old hypnotherapist who became interested in Second Amendment issues after an attempted burglary at the couple’s home in 2006; and McDonald.

William DeShazer / Chicago Tribune

Colleen and David Lawson are plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging Chicago’s handgun ban. David Lawson keeps a collection of old guns outside the city. Colleen Lawson became interested in Second Amendment issues after an attempted burglary at the couple’s home. “Taking away the right to defend myself in my home takes away my ability to keep my promise to my kids to protect them,” she says.

McDonald became interested in gun rights about 2005, when Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing a statewide ban on assault weapons. Concerned that his shotgun might be outlawed under the proposed ban, McDonald attended several gun-rights rallies in Springfield, where he says he was one of the few people from Chicago and, he notes with a laugh, probably the only black person.

At the rallies, he caught the eye of Valinda Rowe, a gun-rights activist who works for IllinoisCarry .com, a group that favors the legalization of concealed and open carrying of weapons. When Rowe heard that Gura was looking for Chicago plaintiffs, she passed along McDonald’s phone number.

‘The best face’ In April, Gura flew to Chicago to meet with the four potential plaintiffs. Sitting around a long conference table at a Schiller Park law office borrowed for the occasion, the group talked about the case and exchanged their personal stories. Toward the end of the meeting, Gura suggested that McDonald become the lead plaintiff, a move that would mean the case would be named McDonald v. City of Chicago.

“Why would you name it after me?” McDonald remembers asking. “Is it just because I’m the only black?”

He meant the question as a joke. Nevertheless, McDonald had identified an important issue.

Gun ownership is most common among middle-age, middle-class white men who live in suburban or rural areas, according to a 2008 survey by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.

But gun-rights advocates want to frame the issue more broadly.

In preparation for the Heller case, attorneys interviewed two dozen to three dozen people, looking for diversity in terms of race, sex, age and income.

“We wanted to be able to present the best face not just to the court but also to the media,” said Robert Levy, a lawyer who plotted strategy in the Heller case and who is now the chairman of the libertarian Cato Institute. Plaintiffs had to have a clean criminal background and a plausible reason to want a firearm for self-defense, Levy said. “We didn’t want some Montana militia man as the poster boy for the Second Amendment.”

In the Chicago case, constitutional law experts say McDonald likely was chosen for another important reason. Arguments in the case center on the 14th Amendment, which says that a state may not “abridge the privileges or immunities” of citizens.

The amendment was adopted after the Civil War to protect for-

mer slaves in states that were passing laws restricting their rights and prohibiting them from owning guns. In the Heller decision, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, referred to that chapter in history, arguing that those who had opposed the disarmament of freedmen did so with the understanding that the Second Amendment protected an individual right to own a gun for self-defense.

That interpretation is central to the plaintiffs’ arguments in the Chicago case.

Like the freed slaves, McDonald is a black person who, the thinking goes, has been disarmed. Having an African-American plaintiff challenge the Chicago handgun ban does not technically bolster the legal argument, says Adam Samaha, a law professor at the University of Chicago, but could provide a resonant symbol “because it helps us remember that history.”

Already in demand City attorneys say the details of the plaintiffs’ lives have no bearing on the case.

“Although the particular parties to the case have their own story, the Supreme Court decides on legal issues only,” said Benna Ruth Solomon, deputy corporation counsel for the city.

That may be true inside the marbled corridors of the U.S. Supreme Court, but the view is different from the two-story house in Morgan Park where Otis McDonald has lived for almost 40 years.

Photos of McDonald’s children, smiling in their graduation caps and gowns, hang on the walls alongside portraits of Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton. A large Bible rests on the coffee table next to a crystal bowl of peppermints. And, sitting in the green wingback chair nearby, McDonald says the days he once spent tending to his three hunting beagles, speed-walking at the high school track and cooking catfish dinners are now increasingly devoted to fielding calls from reporters.

A national news crew from CBS recorded a segment at the house this fall, and CNN is scheduled to come by. As McDonald spoke, the phone rang again; a radio reporter was on the line. Poised and easygoing, he ran upstairs to take the call.

His wife of 52 years sighed.

“I’ll be glad when this is over,” said Laura McDonald, 74. Dressed in a green velour track suit, just back from her morning walk, she talked about her early worries that someone might try to hurt her husband because of his involvement with the case. But she too believes they have the right and the need to own a handgun.

“It used to be a real nice neighborhood, but now it’s different,” she said quietly. A petite woman with a big smile and an easy laugh, she described how old friends have moved away and how drug dealers have moved in.

The family’s house was burglarized three times in the 1980s and early 1990s, Otis McDonald says. Five years ago, a teenager pulled out a gun and aimed at a fleeing car in the rear alley. Three days later, that teenager and two other young men surrounded McDonald’s car and, according to a police report, threatened to “off” him. Last summer, according to a police report, someone broke into the garage.

McDonald says he has spotted drug deals in the back alley and watches with suspicion as flashy cars roll down the street. He disdains the young men who wear their “pants hanging off of their butts,” and the people who blare their rap music and toss bottles on his lawn.

His wife wants to move, but McDonald refuses to be intimidated.

Although he keeps two shotguns in the house, he says those weapons would be difficult to handle against an assailant.

“I would like to have a handgun so I could keep it right by my bed,” he says, “just in case somebody might want to come in my house.”

“If they’re going to raise the filing fee, just raise the initial fee, so you don’t say I have to send $50 in with this, $175 in for this.”

— Jennifer Wells, a La Pine attorney who says the new court fees are too complex

Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, a member of the group, said he voted for the fee hikes because he felt the state had run out of options for keeping essential court services running. But Whitsett said he’s concerned about the growing dependence on user fees, rather than more permanent funding from the state.

“At some point, the Legislature and the people of Oregon are going to have to decide: Are we going to have a fee-based court system, or a tax-based court system?” he said. “It’s a fundamental question. If we continue to go the way we’re going, each time you do something with the courts, there’s going to be a fee.”

Whitsett said lawmakers will need to see how much money the increases generate over the next few months before they can say for sure if more cuts, fee increases or other adjustments could be required. Oregon Supreme Court Justice Paul DeMuniz has warned that even a 5 percent reduction could force courts to close for one day each week.

tanding on stage in the Domino Room as he waited for a band to set up, Jesse Roberts thanked the crowd for opting to skip Sunday’s big game in favor of some live music — and a chance to lend a hand to relief efforts in Haiti.

“This is sort of the anti-Super Bowl party,” he said, prompting cheers and applause.

Roberts, the founder of the Bend-based humanitarian group Rise Up International, said he started thinking about what he could do to help as soon as he heard about last month’s devastating earthquake. He asked a handful of local bands, including Person People and Larry and His Flask, to help, and set up a benefit concert.

All of the money raised from the sale of the $5 tickets will be sent to Doctors Without Borders.

Roberts said he was hoping to raise about $1,000, but even more importantly, hoping the show would provide a good jumping-off point for people to get involved.

“For us, this is kind of the start,” he said. “We want to try to find other people in the community and try to get together for Haiti.”

The group Manifestdestiny kicked off the event with music and poetry, including an original poem about Haiti called “Children of the Sun.” At the start of the show, the audience was dominated by teenagers. Many said they were big fans of the bands, but added that they wanted to do their part to help the people of Haiti.

“I think it’s really important — just because they’re not here doesn’t mean they’re not part of our community,” said Caitlin Connolly, 17, of Bend.

Lee Steckler, 41, of Bend, said she learned about the event from her daughter, 14-year-old Naomi Seaman.

Going outside? Don’t forget your umbrella

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

It’s going to be another cloudy, rainy week in Central Oregon — but clear skies could be on the way by the weekend.

Douglas Weber, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton, said Bend and surrounding communities will likely see rain or snow through this evening as a low-pressure system moves into the area.

On Tuesday, a separate system could bring more moisture to the area and after a short dry spell, more rain is expected to be headed our way by Wednesday evening.

“It’s just going to be kind of a system-after-system thing,” Weber said.

Rain showers will likely continue Thursday morning, letting up only for a short time. “The system is going to continue to dump moisture over the area pretty much through Thursday night, drying

out maybe briefly Thursday night and maybe for a very, very brief break on Friday, but then there’s still going to be a good chance of moisture through Saturday,” Weber said.

The weather service’s extended forecast shows skies clearing by Saturday evening and into Sunday as the system bringing all the precipitation begins to move north, Weber said.

High temperatures for most of the week should be in the mid-40s, with lows in the high 20s or close to the freezing mark. As a result, most of the precipitation should be rain or a rain-snow mix, with a potential for light snow in some areas.

“In the near term, I don’t think we have any expected snow accumulation,” Weber said. “Maybe here or there, one-tenth of an inch of snow.”

By the weekend, temperatures are expected to be slightly higher, with highs topping out in the low 50s on Sunday.

Naomi said she was mostly excited about seeing Person People perform — but she also knew about what was going on in Haiti and was glad that listening to one of her favorite bands could do some good.

“I think it’s good that they’re donating the money to Haiti,” she said.

Mel Parker, 33, brought her three children to the event because she believes more people should be doing what they can to help Haiti rebuild.

“I felt like we had to,” she said. “I have a family, and I have all of my needs met every day ... It’s time for people to step up and help out.”

Parker’s daughter, 9-year-old Porter Smyth, said she’s heard news about Haiti on the radio and has also been thinking about how she could share with others in need.

“I think it’s important because we should care for other people,” she said. “We Americans have a lot we don’t need.”

Four Bend High School students will represent Oregon this year in a national high school cooking competition.

The team of Jessie Blanchard, Katelynn Cockrum, Cori Ervin and Emily Miller took home first prize in the Oregon ProStart Culinary Competition, which was held in Portland on Saturday.

In addition to the overall win, the team took home a handful of other awards, like best dessert and best appetizer. Cockrum was selected as the state’s culinary student of the year and awarded a $1,000 scholarship, while Sean Baldwin, the general manager at Pilot Butte DriveIn and a longtime mentor of the Bend High team, was selected as mentor of the year.

Louise Markland, the students’ teacher, said she was thrilled to see her team perform so well and earn a spot at the National ProStart Invitational, which will be held this spring in Overland Park, Kan. Bend High has had considerable competitive success with its culinary management team, which has won first place at the national competition three years in a row.

This year, Oregon didn’t offer a culinary management competition, so the cooking contest was the school’s only shot at a national culinary championship.

Markland said the four members of the team, all seniors, worked hard to perfect their skills in the kitchen.

By Rachel La Corte The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Thousands of cases of whiskey, vodka and rum zip along three miles of conveyor belts inside a massive distribution center in industrial south Seattle, the sole location for shipping booze to liquor stores across Washington state.

The 250,000-square-foot warehouse is the nexus from which all of the state’s liquor is imported, processed, and moved out to the 315 state and contract stores, the only place where Washingtonians can buy hard liquor for home consumption.

As states scramble to deal with gaping budget deficits, many are looking for any opportunity to increase revenue, and Washington is one of a handful of states weighing whether privatizing liquor sales is the way to get back into the black.

In Olympia Some lawmakers here want to sell the distribution center — bringing the state a one-time boost of about $33 million — and let the private sector step in to sell liquor, which some say will reap long-term cost benefits.

“To me this isn’t a core function of government,” said Sen. Rodney Tom, a Medina Democrat who is a chief budget writer for the Senate. “It’s a retail operation. Private companies can do it as good or better.”

Tom has introduced a bill that would have Washington get completely out of the liquor business, allowing an unlimited number of people to buy licenses to sell liquor, as is done in California.

Other lawmakers have introduced measures taking smaller steps toward privatization, including bills that would auction off franchise agreements for stores like Costco, or which would allow a limited number of smaller contract stores to sell booze.

“When states are struggling around revenue, the idea of priva-

Delmico Baxley loads rum into a small truck for shipping from the Washington state liquor warehouse in Seattle. Lawmakers are considering selling the 250,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center, from which all the state’s liquor is shipped, for about $33 million.

“To me this isn’t a core function of government. It’s a retail operation.

Private companies can do it as good or better.”

— Washington state Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, on liquor sales

tization often rises,” said Steven Schmidt, spokesman for the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, the Alexandria, Va.based group that represents states who are directly involved in the sale of liquor. “This year we’re seeing more efforts to privatize than we have in the recent past.”

In other states In Virginia, which is facing a $2 billion shortfall this year, recently elected Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell ran, in part, on a pledge to privatize liquor stores as a way to raise transportation money.

While privatization bills have been introduced by lawmakers in the current session that runs until March, McDonnell is working on putting together a commission on government reform and re-

structuring that will look at liquor privatization. His staff said that while McDonnell isn’t opposed to the current bills, the issue is most likely to come up later this year, possibly in a special session.

“Liquor sales just don’t fall under the category of top government functions to be providing to the taxpayers,” said McDonnell’s policy director, Eric Finkbeiner.

In Mississippi, bills to privatize wholesale wine business have been introduced. In Vermont, a bill has been introduced to disband the Department of Liquor Control and permit second-class licensees to sell spirits. And in North Carolina, a state task force is studying various types of government reform, including liquor privatization.

The five states are among 18 so-called “control” or “monopoly”

states, including Oregon, which exercise broad powers over wholesale liquor distribution. Of those states, only eight also are involved in retail alcohol sales, Schmidt said. Thirty-two states are license states, where the private sector handles wholesale distribution.

The bottom line Currently, liquor brings in about $320 million in revenue to Washington each year, but a recent report by Washington state Auditor Brian Sonntag found that the state could increase revenue by as much as $277 million over five years if it changed its current liquor model.

In a year when Washington lawmakers are looking to patch a $2.6 billion deficit, Tom said privatization just makes sense.

A part of the potential savings is the loss of about 800 union jobs, which means that the state would save on long-term pension and health costs for those workers.

Tom knows that the union issue is the most controversial aspect of privatization, but he said union jobs are at risk either way.

“I would rather cut jobs at the state liquor store than to cut jobs of teachers,” he said. “We have a decision to make.”

O FEDERAL STIMULUS FUNDS

Energy grants bring relief to rural areas and the poor Low-income housing is being weatherized, schools are getting energy-efficient lights — and it’s all creating jobs for contractors and their work crews

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

ROSEBURG — The worst recession in 70 years is turning into an energy-saving boon for tiny and remote rural schools in Oregon as well as the state’s poorest people.

Federal economic stimulus money is paying for new energyefficient lights and windows in schools that have not been modernized since they were built after World War II, and in houses and apartments where people struggle to pay their utility bills.

Nationwide, the Obama administration has dedicated $5 billion to weatherizing low-income housing, and $3.1 billion to energy upgrades in public buildings under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Oregon’s share is $38 million a year for three years for weatherizing low-income housing, and $42 million a year for three years for energy upgrades in schools and other public buildings.

“It’ll be a lot warmer in there, and I hope the light bill will go down,” Vickey Briggs said as she and her husband, disabled welder Richard Briggs, stood in the cold watching a crew from All Phase Weatherization and Construction install insulation underneath their double-wide in Roseburg.

ties,” McGuire said. “That means people can’t buy medicine, pay rent, buy groceries.”

About 200 schools and other public buildings will benefit from stimulus projects, said Oregon Department of Energy spokeswoman Ann Grim. That works out to 87 jobs created, and 306 jobs retained, under spending formulas.

Though major grants have been awarded, such as $1 million for geothermal energy development at Lakeview schools, many of the first projects coming to fruition have been at small rural schools.

Projects in the works

School district’s story

Stimulus-funded energy projects have been slower to be realized than, say, highway paving projects, but that is because the paving projects were already planned, while many of the energy programs had to be designed from scratch, said Brian Shipley, deputy chief of staff to Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

About 4,400 houses and apartments occupied by poor people will ultimately be fixed up, at a typical cost of $3,200, translating into 628 jobs under spending formulas, said Peggy McGuire, who runs the community resources division of the Oregon Department of Housing.

“What we have found is about 25 percent of the most vulnerable Oregonians are spending more than half their income for utili-

Long Creek School District in the Blue Mountains south of Pendleton is typical. Founded in the 1890s, its best days were in the post-World War II timber boom.

The last lumber mill in town shut down about eight years ago.

The school now has about 75 students, so small they have to team up with two other schools to field one eight-man football team.

Even with just six teachers and a few other staff, the school is the biggest employer in the town of 200 people.

Most residents commute 40 miles to John Day, where a mill still survives. Some kids ride buses 30 miles to school each morning, and 30 miles home each afternoon.

Police spokesman Sgt. Greg Stewart says a fight broke out Saturday night between two men who knew each other.

The fight escalated to one of the men being stabbed in the neck and the suspect running off.

The Oregonian reports that the man who was stabbed was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. Police caught up to the suspect shortly afterward, according to The Oregonian.

Stewart says it’s not clear what started the fight.

Their local utility gave a matching grant, and they sold off $20,000 worth of business energy tax credits for $12,000.

The lights are saving them about $7,500 on a power bill that typically runs $45,000 a year, said Roy Durfee, who doubles as principal and superintendent — savings that are helping them keep one of their six teachers.

“We would have had to delve into some pretty tough reserves to keep that teaching position going another year,” said Durfee. “This way we’re able to do that without any real challenge.”

The collapse of the construction industry cost Phil Seal, 24, his job in a cabinet shop, but he was trained for the weatherization job by United Community Action Network in Roseburg, and is looking forward to steady employment at $16.32 an hour, more than he was making before.

“It’s a long ways from cabinetry, but I’m actually liking this — helping people,” he said before crawling back under the double-wide.

EUGENE — Police are investigating the killing of a 44-year-old man found dead from gunshot wounds near railroad tracks in Eugene on Saturday morning.

Eugene Police Department spokeswoman Melinda Kletzok says the man was an employee of the Portland & Western Railroad. She says a co-worker found him.

Police wouldn’t say how many gunshot wounds the man had. They are investigat-

ing the death as a homicide.

Schools asked to audit business practices SALEM — Oregon Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo is asking education service districts across the state to review their business practices.

Castillo sent a letter to the districts after serious problems were found by the Secretary of State’s Audits Division in a fourmonth investigation of business practices by the Willamette Education Service District.

Investigators identified 43 specific deficiencies, including questionable expenditures, improper contracting, commingled funds and missing documentation.

Education service districts provide services such as special education and business services to school districts in their regions. The Oregon Department of Education is asking them to submit their findings by April 30, and plans to share the responses with all districts and the public.

Creating jobs Lighting contractor Keith Williams drove over from the Willamette Valley town of Creswell to do the job, hiring a couple of local electricians from the surrounding area. This is his first stimulus-funded job, and he hopes to land two more at small schools in Eastern Oregon. It is not a big part of his business, but he sees it as making a big difference for small rural schools.

“Everybody is looking at stimulus (to see) where that job is being created now,” he said. “You’ve created three jobs to get a project on a short-term basis. But on a longterm basis, you saved a job. That’s a different way of looking at it.”

The jobs are much longer

McMinnville school official can transform himself into a magician

By Starla Pointer (McMinnville) News-Register

McMINNVILLE — Mark Siegel — aka Mark the Magician — likes performing best for small groups, gathered close around him.

“You can’t get away with anything that way,” he said. “It’s not me against them; it’s us experiencing magic together. The magic happens, and everyone gasps.”

Siegel has been making the magic happen since he was a child. He grew up watching magicians on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” His parents gave him his first magic set when he was 7 or 8, and by 9 or 10 he was putting on shows himself.

A native of Southern California, he frequented toy shops and gift shops that carried magic tricks. He also found magic supplies at the Disneyland Hotel and magic shops in Hollywood.

He took part in the Long Beach Mystics junior club, too.

By junior high, he was making magic in school talent shows and at events such as the eighthgrade father-son banquet. He used homemade equipment,

“Magic ... teaches so many skills: public speaking, acting, moving on stage, being somewhere on time, practicing.”

— Delphian School administrator Mark Siegel, aka Mark the Magician such as a cloth-draped tray, in addition to cards and purchased tricks.

He found a dream job at the Main Street Magic Shop in Disneyland. Later, he worked his way through law school doing magic in restaurants.

Now a master magician, he still studies magic continually, reads magic magazines and attends magicians’ conventions. He

has many magician friends, including one who designs effects for David Copperfield, one of the magicians he most admires.

An administrator at the Delphian School, Siegel likes to supplement his students’ tours with visits to magic venues.

“Another nice thing about magic is that it teaches so many skills: public speaking, acting, moving on stage, being somewhere on time, practicing,” he said.

These days, Siegel works his magic whenever he can, including the McMinnville Mayor’s Ball and during the city’s downtown art walk. He also does charity shows and private parties.

Siegel doesn’t wear the big cape and goatee associated with many musicians. Instead, he takes a more relaxed, “let’s have some fun together” attitude in his shows. He said he prefers “extraordinary magic with ordinary things,” rather than big tricks using pre-made props.

“I’ve worked hard to develop my philosophy and approach,” he said. “I’m continually working on perfecting my craft.”

Don’t blame Capell for emissions bill

W

e’re not sure what set Troy Reinhart, chair of the Deschutes County Republicans, off against Mark Capell, a Bend city councilor and admitted Demo-

crat, but Reinhart’s ire is misplaced.

At issue is a bill being considered by the Oregon Legislature this special session. As originally written, Senate Bill 1059 would require Bend and five other of Oregon’s largest cities to reduce their auto emissions to 1990 levels (when Bend’s population was about a quarter of what it is today) and give them no money to complete the task.

So what’s Capell’s role in this?

He was a member of the task force whose recommendations are at least in part reflected in the bill. He was there as chair of Bend’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, which would be involved in implementing the bill if it becomes law.

Yet is clear from an e-mail Capell sent task force members and from talking with him that what the bill would do is not what Capell sought.

He knows, for example, that requiring Bend to scale back auto emissions so dramatically would be to put an almost impossibly large hurdle in the way of any economic recovery this community might hope to have.

Worse, he notes, without help from the state to accomplish even a more reasonable goal, the law imposes an unfunded mandate on this community that it can ill afford. Capell continues to work to have the bill changed to address those two problems.

It may be that Reinhart would rather have had Capell stay home.

Yet had Capell done so, Bend would have had no advocate on the task force and no say in the recommendations it ultimately made. Nor would the city have now, working for change, a member of that task force.

City councilors’ duties go well beyond attending two meetings a month, and one of those duties is to represent the city’s interests outside

City councilors’ duties go well beyond attending two meetings a month, and one of those duties is to represent the city’s interests outside Central Oregon. That’s especially critical when state policy is being planned, as it was in this case. Capell provided just that representation on the task force.

Central Oregon.

That’s especially critical when state policy is being planned, as it was in this case. Capell provided just that representation on the task force, and the city was lucky to have him there, even if the results need work.

Local governments don’t need tobacco tax

O

regon governments are hungry for new taxes by nature.

They are hungry for a new tobacco tax this month by choice.

Last month, voters said yes to the Oregon Legislature’s new income and business taxes. This month, Senate Bill 1042 would give local governments the ability to tax more. Oregon law doesn’t allow local governments to tax tobacco. The state of Oregon does at $1.18 per pack of cigarettes.

SB 1042 would let local governments join in on the taxing.

There’s no real mystery about why government is fond of taxing tobacco.

Most people don’t smoke. Smoking certainly isn’t good for health. And so it’s relatively easy to convince people that raising taxes on tobacco is just part of good government and a triumph for public health.

But tobacco taxes are also regressive. They tax poorer people more, because poorer people are more likely to be smokers.

And the pool of smokers is shrinking, so it’s folly to try to finance government with tobacco taxes.

Some insist that smoking is bad for people, and a tax will help reduce that. But if we are going to start taxing any behavior that is bad for a person’s health, there will soon be hundreds more taxes on the way.

The real question is: Do local governments need another way to raise taxes?

They already can raise all sorts of fees and raise all sorts of taxes. Many fees can be raised without even going to voters. And as long as a local government can convince voters it is doing the right thing, it can raise taxes as well.

The problem local governments face is not the lack of a tobacco tax.

They have been unable to match their thirst to grow their spending with voter thirst for more government. Oregonians don’t need SB 1042.

My Nickel’s Worth Making a difference An article caught my eye in The Bulletin on Jan. 21. However, it’s never too late to say: “Good job,” “Way to go, Ray’s Food Place in La Pine” and “Thanks to those who helped a young man back on the right track after serving time for several felonies.” Last, but not least, is the effort this young man has made since his release from Deer Ridge Correctional Institution.

I cannot describe in words how this story touched my heart. A business took a risk, and extended a “hand up” and a job for someone with a legally challenged background.

You see, I believe in, “When you do the crime, you need to pay the time.”

However, most people deserve a second chance, so their life is not a revolving door in and out of jails or prisons.

If they can’t get a job to live a clean and socially accepted life, what do you think happens? How much tax money (out of your pocket) will it take when someone is released from jail, put back on the streets with no support system (crime-/drug-free family/environment)?

Usually, the person returns to crime again so he or she can eat.

There are some crimes and some people who would not fit this scenario. Crimes that have caused horrific planned murders and child molesters are the ones that come to my mind.

Next time you have a job opening, ask yourself, “Can I make a difference?”

Yes, you can!

One party is not good Most Americans do not like one-party systems such as China has and we currently have in the U.S. Massachusetts’ recent election and the previous

elections in Virginia and New Jersey should make that clear to our elected members of Congress. And it is going to take a lot of changes in attitude to have all the members return after this fall.

Cut the government Life can be simple.

Reduce the size of the federal government. In other words, get them out of our lives. Produce our own oil and natural gas, of which we have an abundance. Build nuclear plants to produce more clean power. By doing so, we will create millions of jobs and eliminate our dependence on countries that only wish to destroy us. Bring our military home, and give them jobs in the private sector such as police officers, border patrol agents, prison guards.

It’s time we protect our rights before the government gives them away.

Instead of giving countries foreign aid that goes down the drain, give the money to Americans who can create jobs.

Until we as Americans get our heads out of you know where, we will continually slide into becoming a second-rate power. Like I said, life can be simple if we would only use common sense.

Live with geese Basket Slough is a wild bird refuge created on a large farm in Polk County, after complaints from Salem and local farmers, by the efforts of adjoining counties and the government. These agencies apparently saw the need for an alternative to the many grass and grain fields being destroyed by the geese.

Because our geese are both local and migratory, I suspect it will be difficult to control numbers, and several options will fail. I sense the goose problem here is partly man-made. Development has destroyed their grazing areas and replaced them with an invitation to parks, golf courses and soccer fields.

Predators continue to be eliminated.

Because of the environment, we help to attract them. My view is that the geese will always be very visible in Bend, and I would like to see and hear options on how we learn to live with them.

Movement to keep Waldo Lake pristine is common sense

By Patrick Kruse Bulletin guest columnist

O

regon has dozens of places that boast world-class outdoor recreation opportunities. We’ve got world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking on our rivers, salmon fishing on the coast, backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail and elk hunting in the Wallowas — to name just a few.

Right up there on the list is Waldo Lake.

Just 58 miles southwest of Bend, nestled beside towering Cascade peaks and surrounded by old-growth forests, the Waldo Lake area is a perfect backcountry getaway.

Here, generations of Oregonians have enjoyed canoeing, hiking, kayaking, swimming, camping, sailing,

scuba diving, mountain biking and more. Each summer, thousands flock to Waldo’s waters and shores to experience Oregon’s pristine natural environment.

It’s no wonder that adventurers choose Waldo as their outdoor destination. The lake is big — the second-largest natural lake in the state. It’s beautiful. And it is one of the most pure in the entire world. Numerous studies over the years have placed Waldo in elite company. Only a handful of lakes on the globe can compare. On a cloudless day, a kayaker on the lake can see more than 100 feet down into the water.

Places like Waldo Lake provide the backbone for a thriving outdoor recreation economy. Many of the businesses that provide gear for enjoying and en-

IN MY VIEW hancing our outdoor experiences are located in Oregon, and several companies and retailers are right here in Bend. Of course, if the special character of Waldo disappears, so too do many businesses dependent on pristine recreation locales like the lake.

Luckily, the state of Oregon and the U.S. Forest Service have reached an agreement that would maintain the unique qualities of Waldo and at the same time continue to provide the diverse recreation opportunities that Oregonians desire.

The state and federal governments propose to phase out gas motor use on and around the lake. That means no

more blaring gas-powered generators in campsites, no more whining engines cutting across the otherwise peaceful lake surface, and no more risk that outboard motor pollution or a leaky gas can could endanger the clarity of the water.

The gas motor regulation would be a big deal to the vast majority of users who seek a peaceful outdoor retreat when they head to Waldo. To the small minority that use internal combustion engines at the lake (less than 5 percent of visitors, according to the Forest Service) the new regulation would be a drop in the bucket.

There are hundreds of nearby lakes open to gas motor use. Odell Lake is just a stone’s throw away. Keeping Waldo quiet and clean is a common-sense

step, especially because the new rule will not negatively impact emergency landings and watercraft used for official purposes like search and rescue, law enforcement and fire suppression.

Keeping Waldo Lake clean and quiet isn’t about limiting gas motor use; it’s about expanding the opportunities for people to enjoy traditional recreation in solitude.

While the proposed rule is a big step forward, it’s not yet final. The Oregon State Marine Board will vote in January on the new regulation. In the meantime, it is important for everyone who loves Waldo Lake to speak out in support of protecting this jewel of the Cascades.

O Ralph McInerny, author of the Father Dowling mystery series, dies at age 80 Writer also was a scholar who specialized in the works of Thomas Aquinas

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

Ralph McInerny, a longtime professor of philosophy and medieval studies at the University of Notre Dame who also was a popular mystery writer best known for his Father Dowling series of novels, has died. He was 80.

McInerny died Jan. 29 at Our Lady of Peace Hospital in Mishawaka, Ind., after a long illness, according to the university.

A member of the Notre Dame faculty from 1955 until his retirement in 2009, McInerny gained international renown as a scholar, author and lecturer who specialized in the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, the 13th century theologian and philosopher.

McInerny, who also wrote and lectured on ethics, philosophy of religion and medieval philosophy, directed the university’s Medieval Institute from 1978 to 1985.

And from 1979 to 2006, he directed its Jacques Maritain Center, which is primarily an archive for the study of materials related to the 20th century French Catholic philosopher and his influence in the United States.

McInerny “was one of the leading scholars worldwide on the philosophical thought of Thomas Aquinas,” said John O’Callaghan, an associate professor of philosophy who replaced McInerny as director of the Maritain Center.

And then there was McInerny, the prolific author of approximately 100 novels.

Beginning with “Her Death of Cold” in 1977, he wrote more than two dozen mysteries featuring Father Dowling, which led to the 1989-91 “Father Dowling Mysteries” TV series starring Tom Bosley.

Father Dowling is “a priest detective whose secular interest in crime is merely a mask for his deeper concern for the spiritual welfare of the victims and criminals involved,” wrote James McCahery in the “St. James Guide to Crime & Mystery Writers.”

Among McInerny’s other series are the “Andrew Broom” mysteries, the “Sister Mary Teresa” mysteries (under the pseudonym Monica Quill), and the “University of Notre Dame” mysteries featuring Roger Knight, a Notre Dame professor, and his brother Philip, a semi-retired private investigator.

In 1993, McInerny received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention.

Meetings Continued from B1 On Monday evening, a public hearing will be held on a plan to limit events on Skyliners Road to help reduce conflicts between cyclists and drivers.

At the Prineville City Council meeting Tuesday, councilors will receive their quarterly report on what’s happening economically in the area from their Economic Development for Central Oregon representative.

Also Tuesday, Madras city councilors are expected to consider restricting how long recreational vehicles and trailers can park on the city’s streets to less than 72 hours.

In La Pine, the City Council will hold a public hearing Wednesday on the city’s comprehensive land use plan and urban growth boundary. Citizens will have a chance to provide written and oral testimony regarding the changes.

Thursday, the Redmond City Council is slated to hold a public meeting with department directors to review the council’s goals for 2009-10. The Sisters City Council also will meet Thursday.

Quinto was ‘king of the paparazzi’ Italian tabloid photographer thought to be the inspiration for the character of Paparazzo in Fellini’s ‘La Dolce Vita’

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — In “La Dolce Vita,” his 1960 film about jaded sophisticates at play, Italian director Federico Fellini portrayed a week in the life of a tabloid reporter in Rome. The reporter, played

by Marcello Mastroianni, visits nightclubs and parties, has sexual encounters, drinks too much and contemplates his spiritual emptiness as the line between glamour and desperation is blurred.

Mastroianni’s partner in pursuit of pleasure and tabloid headlines is a sharpelbowed, flash-in-the-face photographer named Paparazzo. The term “paparazzi” is derived from his character.

The photographer who may have been the model for Paparazzo was one of Fellini’s friends in Rome, Felice Quinto, who died of pneumonia Jan. 17 in Rockville, Md., at age 80.

Quinto strolled with his camera among the cafes of the Via Veneto, waiting for opportunities to capture celebrities and royals acting like mere mortals. He hid in bushes, assumed false identities and raced around Rome on his motorcycle to get the pictures that fed gossip-hungry

publications around the world. He was always well dressed, and press accounts sometimes called him the “king of the paparazzi.”

“I was the first to begin in Rome before Fellini was doing his movie,” Quinto told the Dallas Morning News in 1985.

“We were five to begin with, five press photographers — but freelancing. By the time Fellini came out with the movie, it was already about four years that I had been doing photography.”

According to his wife, Fellini asked Quinto to play a photographer in “La Dolce Vita,” but he declined because being a paparazzo on the streets of Rome was far more lucrative. In the end, Quinto had a brief appearance in the film as a bystander.

Truth is stranger than fiction Fiction and reality collided for Quinto one night in 1960 when he snapped a photo of actress Anita Ekberg — featured in “La Dolce Vita” as a starlet stalked by paparazzi — smooching a married movie producer at a cafe in Rome. When Quinto staked out Ekberg’s house at 5 a.m., the

Swedish bombshell emerged in stocking feet and a black cocktail dress, armed with a bow and arrow.

One arrow struck a photographer’s car and a second nicked Quinto’s hand.

“She just let it go, and goodbye Charlie,” he recalled in a 1997 interview with ABC News.

The enraged actress wasn’t finished.

She attacked Quinto with her fists and a well-placed knee to the groin. “And so, from one word to another,” he later put it, “she just grab me by my coat, wow, with the right knee, get me where the sun doesn’t shine.”

The episode would seem to have come from the fevered imagination of, well, a tabloid reporter if it hadn’t been caught on film by one of Quinto’s fellow paparazzi.

Living la dolce vita Felice Quinto was born April 11, 1929, in Milan. He trained to be an auto mechanic, but his father owned a camera store, and Quinto had taken pictures as a hobby since childhood. A newspaperman who saw him taking pictures of beggars suggested that he become a photojournalist.

He moved to Rome, drove an Alfa Romeo sports car, hung out with Fellini and generally led “la dolce vita” — the sweet life.

Cooking Continued from B1 “Every year we’ve been hoping that we would win in cooking, and it’s really gratifying to see this group of young ladies do it,” she said. “They’re all real high achievers.”

Markland and Cockrum said one of the team’s biggest challenges was creating the dessert that won special recognition at the weekend competition: a three-layer panna cotta made with amaretto, pistachio and vanilla and placed atop an almond brittle candy. For the competition, everything had to be made from scratch, on the spot.

“It was really rewarding to have all our hard work recognized,” Cockrum said. “The dessert took a long time to pull

together.”

In the lead-up to the national competition, Cockrum said she and her other team members will study the judges’ scores for each dish and then try to improve the recipes.

Markland said at least two of the students on the team plan to go to culinary school. Cockrum said she hopes to go into food service management after she graduates. She said the handson practice has given her confidence in the kitchen that will transfer well into many careers.

“It’s definitely made me a better cook, which is nice,” she said. “It’s just a really good skill to have.”

“I don’t come from no special school of photography. I don’t come from no school of journalism,” Quinto said in 1985. “The only school was just the necessity to eat and the love of the work. I think I’m one of the few people in the world that is satisfied with what he does.”

In 1958, he met an American schoolteacher, Geraldine Del Giorno, at an art gallery in Venice. They were married in 1963, the same year Quinto moved to the United States to work for The Associated Press.

One of his first assignments was the funeral of John F. Kennedy. He photographed civil rights marches in the South led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and won an award for a picture of white police officers beating a black man.

But Quinto was always best known for his images of celebrities. In the 1970s, he became the court photographer of New York’s Studio 54 and for a time was Elizabeth Taylor’s personal photographer.

For more than 20 years, Quinto’s wife, who taught English at Gaithersburg High School, commuted to New York on weekends to see her husband. When he retired in 1993, he settled into her townhouse in Montgomery Village and lived quietly, tending his basil and pepper plants and cooking Italian meals.

Few of his neighbors knew anything of his earlier life among the glitterati.

Robert B. Parker, creator of tough private eye Spenser, dies at age 77 Prolific author wrote more than 60 books but was best known for detective series

By Bruce Weber New York Times News Service

Robert B. Parker, the best-selling mystery writer who created Spenser, a tough, glib Boston private detective who was the hero of nearly 40 novels, died Jan. 18 at his home in Cambridge, Mass.

He was 77. The cause was a heart attack, said his agent of 37 years, Helen Brann.

Parker wrote more than 60 books all told, including Westerns and young-adult novels, but he churned out entertaining detective stories with a remarkable alacrity that made him one of the country’s most popular writers.

In recent years he had come up with two new protagonists: Jesse Stone, an alcoholic ex-ballplayer turned small-town chief of police, featured in nine novels written since 1997; and Sunny Randall, an unlucky-in-love, daughter-ofa-cop private eye created at the request of the actress Helen Hunt, who was hoping for a juicy movie role. No movie was made, but the first Sunny Randall novel, “Family Honor,” was published in 1999, and five more have followed.

It was Spenser, though — spelled “like the poet,” as the character was wont to point out (his first name was never revealed) — who was Parker’s signature creation. He appeared for the first time in 1973 in “The Godwulf Manuscript,” in which he is hired by a university to retrieve a stolen medieval document, an investigation that triggers a murder. The first pages of the book revealed much of what readers came to love about Spenser — his impatience with pomposity, his smart-

alecky wit, his self-awareness and supreme self-confidence.

“Look, Dr. Forbes,” Spenser says to the long-winded college president who is hiring him. “I went to college once. I don’t wear my hat indoors. And if a clue comes along and bites me on the ankle, I grab it. I am not, however, an Oxford don. I am a private detective. Is there something you’d like me to detect, or are you just polishing up your elocution for next year’s commencement?”

Researchers suggest turning wolves into ‘park stewards’ Small packs introduced into national parks would help control deer, elk populations, scientists say

By Matthew Brown

DO YOU OWN THE BEST PET IN CENTRAL OREGON?

The Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — With ballooning elk and deer populations eating up greenery and altering ecosystems at national parks across the country, a group of researchers is suggesting an unusual solution: Introduce small packs of gray wolves to curb the expanding herds.

They acknowledge that it’s a tricky endeavor: The hungry predators breed prolifically, roam hundreds of square miles and have a taste for cows and sheep.

But the researchers have got a solution for that, too: Neuter the wolves, fence them in, fit them with shock collars and — just in case — add a tracking device so they can be hunted and killed if they get too far afield.

“If there’s lots of food, they’re happy,” said Dan Licht, National Park Service biologist for the Northern Plains region. “An intensively managed dozen, 10 (wolves) — we think that is doable with today’s technology,”

Wolves on the rebound Licht led a team of five researchers who authored a paper in the February issue of the journal BioScience proposing to put wolves back atop the food chain at sites across the country. The predators would become “park stewards,” responsible for keeping game numbers down in areas as small as 15 square miles.

A single pack can go through an elk every three to four days.

But when they wander, it’s often not long before wolves start getting into livestock.

From New York’s Adirondack Mountains to California’s Sierra Nevada, the extermination of wolves last century allowed biggame herds to balloon — tipping nature’s scales and causing overgrazing in many parks and protected areas.

A gray wolf watches biologists in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., after being captured and fitted with a radio collar in January 2003. An abundance of deer and elk in many national parks has researchers interested in using wolves for population control.

Gray wolves were wiped out by the 1930s except in Alaska, Canada and the Western Great Lakes.

They went on the endangered species list in 1975 and were reintroduced to parts of Yellowstone National Park and Idaho in the mid-1990s.

They now number an estimated 1,650 animals in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. In Yellowstone, scientists have tracked an ecosystem rebound since the predator-prey balance was restored.

But the $30 million Northern Rockies wolf restoration program also has stirred rancor. Many ranchers, embittered by wolf attacks on their livestock, say the government let wolf numbers get out of control. Hunters have complained about declining numbers of big game. Federal biologists say that is just part of a return to more natural conditions.

‘Starting the dialogue’ But gaining public acceptance for similar, if smaller-scale, programs at multiple sites across the country would bring enormous political complications.

“Wolves fix very few problems compared to the ones they create,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service biologist Ed Bangs, who leads the Northern Rockies wolf restoration program.

That program has withstood criticism in part by taking a hard line against wolves attacking livestock. Since 1995, more than 1,200 wolves have been shot in the region by government wildlife agents or ranchers. Their high numbers have allowed wolves to thrive despite the government killings. With a single wolf pack, there would be far less flexibility.

In Utah, where Idaho wolves have shown up on occasion, one state lawmaker has said he wants them removed by the federal government. In Oregon, another state now home to dispersing Idaho wolves, state officials have shown more tolerance and are ready to let up to eight packs get established.

However, other than the Rocky Mountain National Park proposal, Licht said he knew of none under consideration to cart in wolves and task them with ecological restoration. Give the idea a few years to germinate, he said.

“It is indeed consistent with Park Service policy, which is to restore native species and natural processes,” he said. “Right now, we’re starting the dialogue.”

GOING GREEN

to go green without going broke

By Kate Ramsayer • The Bulletin

I

t doesn’t take switching to solar panels or buying a hybrid car to live a more environmentally friendly life.

For every budget, there are things people can do to reduce their energy consumption and waste.

“I think people do feel that in order to be green and live sustainably, they need to have a lot of disposable income, but it’s not true really,” said Shauna Quistorff, with Bend’s Environmental Center.

While buying energy-efficient appliances or switching to an all-organic diet cost money, she said, there also are actions people can take that don’t cost anything — like turning off lights when you leave a room.

Here are some other ways to live greener on a range of budgets.

$50& under

$500& under

$5,000& under

Audit your home performance with Energy Star

Cost: stainless steel water bottle at rei.com — $20; Strictly Organic travel mug — $16 Why? Cuts down on disposable beverage cups and plastic bottles.

Strictly Organic estimates its Arizona Avenue store goes through about 500 cups a day — which can end up in a landfill.

Cost: around $400 Why? A company like Bend’s GreenSavers will do a series of tests to see where air escapes from the house, inspect insulation levels, ensure there aren’t unsafe levels of carbon monoxide and more, said Kendra Van Note, with the company. “It uses a lot of diagnostic equipment to really show the homeowner where the air and the heat are leaking out,” said Kendall Youngblood, with Energy Trust of Oregon.

Cost: $2,500 to $5,500, after tax credits and incentives Why? A solar hot water heater can cut water heating costs by about 70 percent, said Kendall Youngblood, with Energy Trust of Oregon — and heating water is a significant part of a home’s energy bill.

Buy a warm, cozy sweater and turn down the thermostat

Tune up your car

Weatherize your home

Cost: Varies depending on dealer and mileage Why? “A tuned-up engine is going to work (more efficiently) than an engine that isn’t tuned up,” said Marie Dodds, spokeswoman with AAA Oregon. Gunk that builds up in the air filters or an inefficient engine can decrease a car’s mileage, as can having underinflated tires, she said. For every pound per square inch of pressure a tire is underinflated, fuel efficiency declines about 2 percent.

Cost: around $5,000 Why? Depending on how much insulation a house has, it can cost $1,200 to $1,500 to insulate the floor of a 1,500-square-foot building, between $1,000 and $1,400 to insulate an attic and about $2,300 to add insulation to walls, said Kendra Van Note, with GreenSavers. But within a year, people can make between 10 and 25 percent of that cost back in savings on their heating bill, she said.

Buy a bike and ride to work

Replace old doors and windows

Buy a bus pass and commute to work Cost: $30 for an adult monthly pass for Bend Area Transit Why? Riding a bus is like “carpooling with a whole heck of a lot of people,” said Shauna Quistorff, with Bend’s Environmental Center. It reduces emissions and traffic congestion, as well as oil and gas use.

Cost: $350 to $500-plus Why? Reduces gas costs, emissions and also provides a workout. Bike commuters will have myriad options for $500, said Jason Quade, of Bend Bike N Sport. They also can get a bike they already own into roadworthy shape for $75 to $100. Bikers also can purchase saddlebags to haul work papers or groceries for $25 to $100.

Cost: Varies based on number and style of the windows, for example, $3,000 for six regular windows Why? Going from a singlepane to an energy-efficient, double-pane window can make a huge difference, said Shauna Quistorff, with Bend’s Environmental Center. “You’ll notice it immediately just standing next to the window.”

Replace the bulbs in one or two rooms with CFLs

Participate in a CSA program or plant your own garden

Replace old appliances with Energy Star appliances

Cost: $5-plus per bulb Why? Compact fluorescent lights have evolved beyond the simple spiral bulb, said Kendall Youngblood, with Energy Trust of Oregon. Consumers can purchase bulbs that fit in bathroom vanity fixtures or even recessed fixtures in ceilings — where the bulbs’ long lifespan comes in handy. CFL bulbs use 75 percent less energy than conventional bulbs, she said.

Cost: $420 to $600 Why? Buying a share in a communitysupported agriculture program provides pesticide-free produce, said Jeremy Graybill, with the Oregon Environmental Center. It also reduces the costs and emissions involved in shipping food long distances. Or, people could plant their own garden with fruits and vegetables — further reducing transportation costs and emissions.

Cost: Varies Why? Appliances that meet the Energy Star requirements — or exceed them — can save on water, heating and electric bills. A high-efficiency clothes washer can use 30 percent less electricity, said Kendall Youngblood, with Energy Trust of Oregon. And a fridge with the Energy Star sticker is at least 20 percent more efficient than a standard model is required to be.

Use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies

Install a Solatube

Make a donation

Cost: $415 or $515, before a 30 percent tax credit Why? Solatubes provide natural light in an otherwise dim room, said Shauna Quistorff, with Bend’s Environmental Center — eliminating the need to switch lights on and off. They come in 10- and 14-inch sizes, said Brennan Morrow, with Solar Light, which sells and installs the tubes to light anything from bathrooms to living rooms.

Cost: As much as you like Write a check to your favorite nonprofit, or invest in an environmentally focused startup, suggested Jeremy Graybill, with the Oregon Environmental Center.

Cost: Varies Why? Green cleaning supplies aren’t harmful to the environment or people , said Jeremy Graybill, with the Oregon Environmental Council, and people can even make their own from ingredients like vinegar and baking soda.

Through its 10-year partnership with Pfizer, it has become a specialist in pharmaceuticals

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

Central Oregon is home to a number of biotechnology, information technology and cleanenergy companies, all of which comprise a growing portion of the region’s economy — and one civic leaders would like to expand.

Founded in 1975, Bend Research Inc. is one of the High Desert’s original technology companies, and company President and CEO Rod Ray has worked there practically since its inception.

With an emphasis on applied research, the company got its start solving chemical engineering problems for different industrial clients. Some of their breakthroughs led to spinoffs, including Bend’s Suterra LLC, which manufactures pheromone-based

insect-control products.

Bend Research’s work eventually led to an exclusive 10-year partnership with the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Bend Research helped Pfizer surmount a variety of technical hurdles, from developing ways for insoluble drugs to be absorbed by the body to engineering manufacturing methods.

“They are probably one of the top five companies in the biospace in Oregon,” John Tortorici, executive director of the Portland-based Oregon Bioscience Association, said of Bend Research. “They have a terrific reputation — I’m sure it’s international, but I know it’s national — for doing quality work, and they are a key player to the bioscience community in Oregon.”

Install a solar hot water heater

Buy a reusable water bottle and mug for coffee and tea

Cost: $25 Why? Turning back the thermostat by 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours a day can save about 10 percent on a heating bill, according to the Energy Information Association. You might want to set aside some of the budget for some warm socks as well.

When thinking abstractly, our bodies react literally

By Natalie Angier New York Times News Service

The theory of relativity showed us that time and space are intertwined. To which our smarty-pants body might well reply: Tell me something I didn’t already know, Einstein.

Researchers at the University of Aberdeen found that when people were asked to engage in a bit of mental time travel, and to recall past events or imagine future ones, participants’ bodies subliminally acted

out the metaphors embedded in how we commonly conceptualized the flow of time.

As they thought about years gone by, participants leaned slightly backward, while in fantasizing about the future, they listed to the fore.

The deviations were not exactly Tower of Pisa leanings, amounting to some 2 or 3 millimeters’ shift one way or the other. Nevertheless, the directionality was clear and consistent.

Disclosure of abuse opens new wounds Dear Abby: My parents divorced when I was 6, and my father remarried when I was 8. My father got custody of my brother and me. A year later, my half-sister was born, and that’s when my stepmother began physically and mentally abusing me.

My brother told family members about the abuse, but nothing was done. My father didn’t believe us kids. The abuse finally ended when my grandparents — my mother’s parents — saw the marks on my body and took me to an attorney. My mother got custody of me when I was 12.

My half-sister, “Liz,” was only 4 when I left, so we were never close growing up. I’m now in my early 40s. Last summer, while I was visiting family, I went shopping with Liz and her daughter. Tired of all the secrets, I told her the reason I left when she was little. It came as a shock to her because her mother had never abused her.

Now my father and brother are mad at me for telling. My brother even told Liz it wasn’t true to “protect” her. Was I wrong for disclosing something that happened long ago? The memories are still fresh after all these years, and doesn’t it send a message to protect the abuser?

— Tired of Secrets, Corona, Calif.

Dear Tired of Secrets: What your stepmother did was disgraceful, but you were wrong to try to exact revenge through her daughter. All it could do was cause your half-sister pain. As to your brother accusing you of lying after having revealed the truth — that was wrong, too, because it victimized you twice.

Dear Abby: I am 25, and have been in a relationship with a wonderful man I’ll call “Tom” for a year. Tom is attentive, caring, funny, self-sufficient and comes from a great family. In short, he’s everything a woman says she wants.

So why do I still constantly look

DEAR ABBY at other men? I always worry that there’s someone better suited to me and that I’m just settling. Tom is definitely the best man I’ve ever met, and he would make a wonderful husband and father one day. So, how do I learn to appreciate what I have instead of always seeking something better, which very well may not exist?

— Wandering Eye in Buffalo, N.Y. Dear Wandering Eye: Tom may be everything a woman says she wants, but your intuition may be telling you that he isn’t what YOU want. Ask yourself what quality Tom is lacking that causes you to constantly look at other men with an eye to trading up, because until you figure that out, you will never be satisfied.

Dear Abby: I am a single woman who has recently started a career in local government. In my position, I am often invited to functions with federal, state and local officials. On more than one occasion, “royalty” has attended as well.

At these events, I am often introduced to officials or dignitaries after I am already seated. Should I stand when introduced as the men do, or as a lady, should I remain seated? I have watched other women, including a few old “pros,” and the results are split. Can you please tell me what is proper and respectful in these situations?

— Protocol-challenged in Indiana Dear Protocol-challenged: When introduced, standing is considered a sign of respect, so when in doubt, stand up.

Fallen figures go to reality TV for redemption

By Scott Collins Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — At 52, Ross Mandell is built like an aging wrestler, with veins the size of phone cords webbed across Popeye-like forearms. But when he recalls what happened last summer, the macho exterior melts away.

“I cried like a baby. I curled up in a fetal position in my bed, and I wanted my mommy,” the former chief of the brokerage firm Sky Capital said. “It was brutal.”

Mandell surrendered in July to authorities who accused him of masterminding a trans-Atlantic stock fraud that used “high-pressure sales tactics” to bilk tens of millions of dollars from investors, with Mandell allegedly blowing the proceeds on luxury travel and adult entertainment.

Long known as a Wall Street bad boy, he was frog-marched through the New York media and cast into the rogues’ gallery of early 21st century financial villains, alongside Bernie Madoff.

So how is Mandell passing the time until his trial? Why, by pitching a reality TV series, of course.

“I would love to allow the world to see me as I really am,” he explained in his Long Islandaccented rasp during a recent interview in his publicist’s office.

“You don’t stand a chance unless you tell your side of the story.”

The new PR There was a time, not so long ago, when notable figures who had fallen from grace followed a well-worn path to redemption.

There would be the mandatory sit-down with Oprah Winfrey or Larry King or Diane Sawyer.

Contrition, if not an outright apology, would be offered. Then the comeback narrative would be unleashed, with the celebrity now supposedly having more depth — what magazine editors call “reader interest” thanks to his or her brush with infamy.

Last year, Rapper T.I. starred in “T.I.’s Road to Redemption,” an MTV series in which he acted as a mentor to disadvantaged kids, before going to jail on weapons charges.

This route still has some appeal, as Jay Leno proved by attempting to salvage his image, battered during the tussle with Conan O’Brien over “The Tonight Show,” with a recent Winfrey interview.

But Mandell is the latest in a growing line of high-profile criminal defendants, including rapper T.I. and disgraced quarterback Michael Vick, who are bypassing the old PR formula and trying to find redemption — or at least tell their sides of their stories — through reality TV. Such a project keeps the accused malefactor in the public eye while offering him a chance to frame the story exactly the way he wants. And sometimes it’s not even necessary to express remorse. Mandell might seem to be taking a huge risk by chasing a reality show when he’s facing years of prison time, but on the other hand, he’s not admitting anything.

“I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a member of the community,” he said. “It takes a big toll on yourself, your family. There are feelings like shame, embarrassment, humiliation. All that stuff that plays into it. I’m just a

regular guy, a regular person ...

I’ve been wrongfully accused.”

What’s unusual about Mandell’s case is that he’s pitching a reality show when he’s still out on $5 million bail. He’s acting over the objections of his attorney, Jeffrey Hoffman, who said he believes that the pursuit of a TV show could jeopardize Mandell’s bail terms or give federal prosecutors fresh ammunition to use in court. The case, still in the discovery phase, may not head to trial for many months, Hoffman says.

After the sentence Others have waited for the ax to fall before trying to pick up the pieces.

Take, for example, BET’s new series “The Michael Vick Project,” a documentary-style effort to humanize a man generally viewed as a monster after his involvement in an illegal dog-fighting ring came to light in 2007.

Vick, once a highly paid product endorser, ended up serving 18 months in prison and declaring bankruptcy. Reinstated by the NFL last year, he’s now trying to revive his football career with

the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the first episode, Vick showed a soft-spoken demeanor that seemed somewhat out of keeping for a brash man who in 2006 earned a $10,000 league fine for making obscene gestures at fans.

Much like Mandell, he recalled a humbling spell of jailhouse tears.

“I cried so much my face was swollen when I got to the jail,” Vick said on camera.

As a TV personality, Vick follows in the footsteps of T.I., who last year starred in “T.I.’s Road to Redemption,” an MTV series in which the rapper was depicted as a “Scared Straight”-type mentor to disadvantaged kids. At the time, T.I. was headed to jail on weapons charges; he is due to be released from a halfway house later this year. In 2006, BET started the inmate subgenre with “Lil Kim: Countdown to Lockdown,” a reality series that chronicled the female rapper’s life in the weeks before her imprisonment on a perjury conviction.

Observers often express outrage at the notion that someone convicted of serious crimes can wind up with a TV show (although “Son of Sam” laws designed to prevent such occurrences have often been ruled unconstitutional).

When Vick’s long-rumored series was finally confirmed, The Washington Post tartly noted that the quarterback’s crimes did not cost him “as much as it cost the animals Vick executed.”

But Paul Levinson, a media studies professor at Fordham University, says such critics miss the point.

“People are interested in criminals and people who do wrong things,” Levinson said. “It’s not about rewarding Michael Vick.

It’s about giving viewers what they’re interested in.”

Energy efficiency to shine in 2010 It may be mundane, but it will create jobs and reduce nation’s carbon footprint

By Dana Hull San Jose Mercury News

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Intern Moriah Zimmerman works in Lab 10 at Bend Research.

The company has been successful in finding new work after its partnership with Pfizer ended, and as a result, it’s preparing to hire.

Research Continued from C1 Pfizer recently consolidated its research operations and downsized its relationship with Bend Research, Ray said. As a result, Ray has stepped up his company’s business development efforts, and is marketing its expertise in drug delivery and drug formulation to the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.

The industry appears to be listening. In November, Bend Research announced a new collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a global biotechnology company headquartered in Cambridge, Mass.

“Our aggressive business development efforts have resulted in a good new revenue flow and lots of new work,” Ray said.

advantage of Central Oregon’s recreational opportunities or because they like the region’s rural and family-friendly setting, he said.

As a result, Ray often recruits from universities set in communities that have a rural culture or lots of outdoor recreation, such as Oregon State University, Montana State University, Washington State University and Ray’s alma mater, the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Ray said it’s sometimes tough to recruit engineers and chemists from metropolitan areas because of the lack of a four-year research university and the region’s relatively young biotech sector.

In other words, if a chemist loses his job at Bend Research, there are few other places locally to find work, Ray said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Solar and wind power may get the headlines and attention, but greentech experts say 2010 will be dominated by energy efficiency, the mundane but critical process of cutting the amount of gas and electricity that homes and offices use.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu regularly describes himself as an “energy-efficiency nut.” Sixteen states, including California and New York, have passed legislation enabling homeowners to finance energy-efficiency upgrades through their property taxes. President Barack Obama even declared insulation “sexy” at a Home Depot in December.

Then there are the sheer numbers. Venture capital investment in energy efficiency hit a record in 2009: at least 115 deals worth nearly $1 billion, according to a preliminary tally by the Cleantech Group and Deloitte. That’s up 39 percent from 2008. Meanwhile, solar, which had 84 deals worth about $1.2 billion, was down 64 percent from 2008, and there’s increasing talk about solar being “overfunded.”

“In 2009, there was a pullback and realization by investors that because of the capital intensity of solar, there may be safer places to put their money,” said Scott

Smith, U.S. clean tech leader for Deloitte.

Energy efficiency generally refers to a wide range of technologies designed to cut energy use such as improved lighting, greener building materials and sophisticated software that monitors power consumption.

And it’s increasingly seen as an effective way to create desperately needed jobs, save struggling consumers money, wean America from its dependence on foreign oil and reduce carbon emissions — all at the same time.

Home energy use accounts for 21 percent of the nation’s carbon footprint — roughly twice the carbon emissions of passenger cars, according to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.

There are 100 million homes in America, and energy-saving measures like insulation,

Embodied Continued from C1 “When we talk about time, we often use spatial metaphors like ‘I’m looking forward to seeing you’ or ‘I’m reflecting back on the past,’” said Lynden Miles, who conducted the study with his colleagues Louise Nind and C. Neil Macrae. “It was pleasing to us that we could take an abstract concept such as time and show that it was manifested in body movements.”

The new study, published in January in the journal Psychological Science, is part of the immensely popular field called embodied cognition, the idea that the brain is not the only part of us with a mind of its own.

“How we process information is related not just to our brains but to our entire body,” said Nils Jostmann of the University of Amsterdam. “We use every system available to us to come to a conclusion and make sense of what’s going on.”

Warm thoughts Research in embodied cognition has revealed that the body takes language to heart and can be awfully literal-minded.

You say you’re looking forward to the future? Here, Ma, watch me pitch forward!

You say a person is warm and likable, as opposed to cold and standoffish? In one recent study at Yale, researchers divided 41 college students into two groups and casually asked the members of Group A to hold a cup of hot coffee, those in Group B to hold iced coffee.

The students were then ushered into a testing room and asked to evaluate the personality of an imaginary individual based on a packet of information.

Students who had recently been cradling the warm beverage were far likelier to judge the fictitious character as warm and friendly than were those who had held the iced coffee.

Or maybe you are feeling the chill wind of social opprobrium. When researchers at

the University of Toronto instructed a group of 65 students to remember a time when they had felt either socially accepted or socially snubbed, those who conjured up memories of a rejection judged the temperature of the room to be an average of five degrees colder than those who had been wrapped in warm and fuzzy thoughts of peer approval.

The body embodies abstractions the best way it knows how: physically. What is moral turpitude, an ethical lapse, but a soiling of one’s character? Time for the Lady Macbeth Handi Wipes. One study showed that participants who were asked to dwell on a personal moral transgression like adultery or cheating on a test were more likely to request an antiseptic cloth afterward than were those who had been instructed to recall a good deed they had done.

Heavy concepts When confronted with a double entendre, a verbal fork in the road, the body heeds Yogi Berra’s advice, and takes it. In a report published last August in Psychological Science, Jostmann and his colleagues Daniel Lakens and Thomas Schubert explored the degree to which the body conflates weight and importance.

They learned, for example, that when students were told that a particular book was vital to the curriculum, they judged

caulking, and heating and cooling system upgrades can reduce household energy consumption by 10 to 40 percent, according to a memo by the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Kevin Surace has seen the shift firsthand. For years, the CEO of Serious Materials, which makes energy-saving windows and drywall, was the only energy-efficiency executive at industry conferences.

“I remember standing with a piece of drywall at the Cleantech Forum in 2006,” he said. “Every other company was solar, wind and biofuel. People were like: What are you doing at our conference?”

Now Surace is the keynote speaker at many of the conferences he attends.

“All the clean tech conferences are efficiency, efficiency,

the book to be physically heavier than those told the book was ancillary to their studies.

The researchers wanted to know whether the sensation of weightiness might influence people’s judgments more broadly.

In a series of experiments, study participants were asked to answer questionnaires that were attached to a metal clipboard with a compartment on the back capable of holding papers. In some cases the compartments were left empty, and so the clipboard weighed only 1.45 pounds.

In other cases the compartments were filled, for a total clipboard package of 2.29 pounds.

Participants stood with either a light or heavy clipboard cradled in their arm, filling out surveys. In one, they were asked to estimate the value of six unfamiliar foreign currencies. In another, students indicated how important they thought it was that a university committee take their opinions into account when deciding on the size of foreign study grants. For a third experiment, participants were asked how satisfied they were with (a) the city of Amsterdam and (b) the mayor of Amsterdam.

In every study, the results suggested, the clipboard weight had its roundabout say. Students holding the heavier clipboard judged the currencies to be more valuable than did those with the lightweight boards. Participants with weightier clipboards insisted that students be allowed to weigh in on the university’s financial affairs. Those holding the more formidable board even adopted a more rigorous mindset, and proved more likely to consider the connection between the livability of Amsterdam and the effectiveness of its leader.

efficiency,” Surace said. “When you really break it down, every dollar spent on energy efficiency pays back the investment four or five times. It saves people money and creates jobs. And it has bipartisan support.”

Another Bay Area company riding the surge of interest in energy efficiency is San Franciscobased Recurve, which provides detailed home energy audits and green energy remodeling to Bay Area homeowners.

“Five or six years ago, energy efficiency was such a backwater,” said co-founder and President Matt Golden, who remembers the days of being met with blank stares when he would talk about insulation and duct system leakage. “Everyone was like: There’s no money in energy efficiency.”

The company, which had 12 employees in 2007, has grown to 65. It creates customized software that it plans to license to other contractors in the energy retrofit industry and is actively hiring software engineers. Golden, 35, is so sought after as a public policy leader that he spends much of his time in Washington these days.

Recurve, which raised a first round of venture funding in September 2008, is backed by RockPort Capital and Shasta Ventures.

“Energy efficiency is very capital-efficient,” said Rob Coneybeer of Shasta Ventures. “We like the idea of people using IT to measure, monitor and improve their energy usage. We felt like Recurve had done a really good job, and we really liked the founders — that’s a big reason why we invested in them.”

seemingly unrelated and highly abstract concerns often makes sense. Our specific clipboard savvy notwithstanding, “the issue of how humans view gravity is evolutionarily useful,” he said.

“Something heavy is something you should take care of,” he continued. “Heavy things are not easily pushed around, but they can easily push us around.” They are weighty affairs in every tine of the word.

The cogitating body prefers a hands-on approach, and gesturing has been shown to help children master math.

Among students who have difficulty with equations like 4+5+3=_+3, for example, performance improves markedly if they are taught the right gestures: grouping together the unique left-side numbers with a two-fingered V, and then pointing the index finger at the blank space on the right.

To learn how to rotate an object mentally, first try a pantomime. “If you encourage kids to do the rotation movement with their hands, that helps them subsequently do it in their heads,” said Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago, “whereas watching others do it isn’t enough.”

Yesterday is regrettable, tomorrow still hypothetical. But you can always listen to your body, and seize today with both hands.

NFL Goodell said ban on three-point stance could be considered MIAMI — A ban on the three-point stance? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says it’s possible.

Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league will keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation” hours before the Super Bowl, he didn’t rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage.

“As you’ll see tonight, you’ll see a lot of players that never get down in a threepoint stance,” Goodell said Sunday. “So it’s possible that would happen.”

While science is still trying to determine the long-term effects of concussions, Goodell said, the league has made progress in increasing awareness about the severity of such injuries.

“For many years the culture had been quite different — that concussions weren’t serious injuries,” he said. “I think we have changed that culture and made sure that people understand they are serious, and they can have serious consequences if they’re not treated properly.”

Goodell has met with NFL competition committee cochair Rich McKay to begin evaluating possible rules changes.

uring a typical game, La Pine High senior post Kassi Conditt has a pair of hands in her face and another set on her back.

A first-team all-state selection last season after she led the Hawks to the Class 4A girls basketball state title, Conditt this year is the focal point of every opponent’s defense. But despite facing double- and even tripleteam coverage every game, the 6-foot-1-inch Conditt is averaging a team-high 17.5 points per contest.

“It’s really more impressive (than the 17 points she averaged last year),” says La Pine coach Kim Beer. “She’s a better player. … She has a big target on her back and she’s still able to come up with the same stats.”

Without graduated point guard Maria Ramirez, the 2009 4A player of the year, distributing the ball, Conditt is creating her own shot more this season.

She has added a few low-post moves, and her dribbling has improved, says Beer.

“Last year she was set up a lot when Maria drove (the lane),” Beer recalls. “Kassi’s having to create more this year.

She’s gotten better handling the ball … and creating shots that way. This year she’s more well-rounded.”

IOC allows Aussie kangaroo flag to stay in village VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Australians can hop for joy: Their boxing kangaroo is safe for the Vancouver Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee ruled Sunday that the giant kangaroo flag — the mascot for the Australian team — can remain displayed in the athletes’ village for the duration of this month’s games.

The green and gold flag, which depicts a red-gloved cartoon kangaroo, has been hanging from a balcony from the Australian team’s living area in the village since last Sunday.

The Australians had been under pressure to take it down because it was deemed too commercial and a registered trademark.

Australian Olympic Committee chief John Coates discussed the issue with IOC president Jacques Rogge, who then sent him a letter confirming the flag could stay.

There’s more snow in D.C., as in District of Columbia, than B.C., or British Columbia.

Vancouver Olympic officials have touted these as “The Green Games,”

O LY M P I C S but Mother Nature might be taking that to an extreme. Some Vancouverites are now referring to them as “The Brown Games,” given the muddy conditions at Cypress Mountain.

“When I got off the airplane it was like, ‘What’s this green grass doing here? This is the Winter Olympics,’ ”

U.S. speedskater Trevor Marsicano said Sunday, recalling his reaction after flying in last week from Milwaukee, Wis. “For me it’s nice, because I’m used to, like, zero-degrees.

This is awesome.”

Trouble is, with opening ceremonies only five days away, the abovefreezing temperatures in Vancouver — it got above 50 on Saturday — continue to raise concerns for other sports, particularly snowboarding and freestyle skiing, two events being held on the mountain overlooking the city.

S B • AP sources: IOC reinstates former Samsung boss: Convicted ex-Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee was reinstated Sunday as a full member of the International Olympic Committee, a boost for South Korea’s bid to host the 2018 Winter Games. Lee’s rights were restored by the IOC executive board following a recommendation of the ethics commission, several IOC officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the decision hadn’t been announced. Lee voluntarily gave up his IOC rights after being indicted in 2008 in a financial and tax evasion case.

• IOC opens doping probe into U.S. gold medal relay: The IOC opened a formal investigation Sunday into a doping case that could lead to the stripping of gold medals from a U.S. women’s relay team at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The International Olympic Committee executive board set up a disciplinary commission into the case of Crystal Cox, who ran in the preliminaries of the winning 4x400 team in Athens. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said late last month that Cox had admitted to using anabolic steroids and accepted a four-year suspension and disqualification of her results from 2001 to 2004.

Auto racing • Patrick expected to race in Saturday’s Nationwide race: Danica Patrick will enter Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Sunday. The IndyCar Series star, who is beginning the transition to NASCAR, made the decision after finishing sixth in Saturday’s ARCA debut. An official announcement will be made today.

Diving • Loukas, Boudia win national diving titles: Christina Loukas won the senior 3-meter event Sunday at the USA Diving Winter National Championships in Columbus, Ohio, finally earning a national title after victories at the 2008 U.S. Olympic trials and a silver medal at the World University Games. The 24-year-old Loukas put together a score of 721.90 to defeat Abby Johnson, who had a 709.25. David Boudia won the men’s 10-meter platform for the third time by out-pointing Nick McCrory, with Harrison Jones in third and Thomas Finchum in fourth.

Tennis • Oudin wins to give U.S. spot in Fed Cup semis: Teenager Melanie Oudin won her two singles matches to lead the United States to a 4-1 victory over France in Lievin, France, and secure a spot in the Fed Cup semifinals.

Oudin beat Julie Coin 7-6 (3), 6-4 in just over two hours Sunday to give the Americans an insurmountable 3-0 lead. The U.S. will next face Russia on April 24-25.

Football • Dolphins defensive tackle Tony McDaniel arrested: Officials say Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Tony McDaniel is out of jail after being arrested and accused of domestic violence. McDaniel was released Sunday on $3,500 bond. Authorities say the 25-year-old South Carolina native returned from a night out with friends and then got into a fight with his girlfriend early Saturday at his home in Davie, which is near Miami. McDaniel says in a police affidavit that his girlfriend attacked him.

• Florida State vacates 12 football wins: Florida State announced Sunday it will vacate 12 football victories and a 2007 men’s track national championship in an academic cheating scandal, along with dozens more victories and placings across 10 men’s and women’s sports. The NCAA stripped the school of wins in which 61 athletes implicated in the scandal contributed. Bobby Bowden, who retired after this season as the second all-time winningest coach in major college football behind Penn State’s Joe Paterno, has now won a few less. Bowden finished with 389 before subtracting the five wins from the 2006-07 season, including the Emerald Bowl, and seven regular-season victories in 2007-08.

Sailing • Coutts not sure whether he’ll sail aboard USA: Russell Coutts, who sailed unbeaten through three straight America’s Cup matches for two different countries, says he hasn’t decided whether he’ll be aboard USA, the blazing fast trimaran that will represent American challenger BMW Oracle Racing against two-time defending champion Alinghi of Switzerland and its catamaran, Alinghi 5. Race 1 of the best-of-three grudge match is scheduled for today.

NHL ROUNDUP

Capitals continue to roll, beat Penguins The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Three goals from Alex Ovechkin. Two feet of snow on the ground. One big comeback against a detested rival, with punches and name-calling added for good measure.

The biggest number of all: 14, the length of a winning streak topped by just two other teams in NHL history.

What a Super Sunday it was for the Washington Capitals, who got a hat trick from their two-time reigning league MVP and made up a three-goal deficit to beat Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 in overtime.

“It was what people pay to see, when the superstars shine,” Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said.

“There’s tension, and there’s excitement, and there’s physical play, and there’s passion on both sides. That’s what hockey is all about.”

Ovechkin’s three-goal burst gave him a league-high 42, pulling away from Crosby after the Pittsburgh center had tied him at 39 by scoring a pair in the first period. The robust crowd that braved atrocious travel conditions went delirious and threw dozens of red hats on the ice when Ovechkin tied the game with 8:54 to play, completing a comeback from a 4-1 second-period deficit.

The celebration reached another level when Mike Knuble poked in the rebound 2:49 into overtime after Ovechkin’s shot hit the post during a Capitals power play. Washington got the man advantage when Brooks Orpik was sent off for high

Washington’s Mike Knuble, left, celebrates with teammates Nicklas Backstrom, top center, Alex Ovechkin (8) and Mike Green, front center, after scoring the winning goal against Pittsburgh during overtime of Sunday’s game in Washington. The Capitals won 5-4 in overtime. sticking Alexander Semin, a call that prompted Orpik to call Semin “a baby.” The assist gave Ovechkin a league-leading 86 points.

“Ovie was crazy. He was awesome. He took the team on his back and he carried us,” said Eric Fehr, who scored Washington’s other goal.

“That’s what we needed, and he was wonderful.”

Washington’s winning streak ties the 1929-30 Boston Bruins for third longest in league history and

is three shy of the record of 17, set by the Penguins from March 9April 10, 1993.

Want more numbers? The Capitals have set a franchise record with 11 consecutive home wins — the 1999-00 team had 10 in a row. Goaltender Jose Theodore (31 saves) extended his personal-best winning streak to 10, tying the franchise mark set by Pat Riggin in 1983-84.

Also noteworthy: 74 minutes in penalties, including four miscon-

duct calls. Ovechkin threw probably the best punch, knocking Kris Letang to the ice and jumping on top of the Penguins defenseman, a bit of aggression that was deemed worthy of just a roughing penalty.

The final infractions were whistled against Orpik, who lashed out at Semin for overacting to get the high-sticking call in overtime.

“He does it all the time. The kid’s a baby,” said Orpik, who drew a game misconduct from the penalty box because he kept complaining to the officials. “He does it all game long.

I’ve got zero respect for the kid.”

Jordan Staal scored twice and Evgeni Malkin had two assists for the Penguins, who nearly pulled off the win despite a Friday-Saturday blizzard that paralyzed the nation’s capital and forced the visitors to scramble to find a way into town.

With the nearby airports closed, the Penguins had to fly into Newark, N.J., from Montreal after their Saturday afternoon game against the Canadiens. The team then took a five-hour bus ride, arriving in Washington at 2:15 a.m.

In another game on Sunday: Bruins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Canadiens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 MONTREAL — Tuukka Rask made 36 saves for his third shutout, Marco Sturm scored twice and Boston ended a 10-game losing streak.

Boston won for the first time since a 2-1 shootout victory over San Jose on Jan. 14 and avoided tying the longest losing streak in franchise history set by the inaugural edition of the Bruins in 1924-25.

NBA ROUNDUP

GOLF ROUNDUP

Magic’s 19-0 run in the third leads to loss for Celtics

Stricker hangs on at Riviera

The Associated Press BOSTON — The Orlando Magic needed less than 48 hours to go from a terrible third quarter to a terrific one.

Vince Carter and Dwight Howard each scored nine points in that period to erase an 11-point halftime deficit, and the Magic went on to beat the Boston Celtics 96-89 on Sunday.

“In a matter of three days, I’ve seen the worst quarter we’ve had since I’ve been here in three years and the best now in three years,” Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said.

On Friday night, the Magic blew a 21-point lead and lost to the Washington Wizards 92-91 after being outscored 39-17 in the third quarter. On Sunday, they outscored the Celtics 36-11 in that period.

The Magic (34-17) moved into second place in the Eastern Conference, one game ahead of the Celtics (32-17).

“We were upset about the way we played in the first half,” said Howard, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds. After that, “we got stops and then we came down and hit some shots. And after that, we just kept it rolling.”

Carter had a game-high 20 points and scored nine during a 19-0 rally that began after Rajon Rondo’s three-pointer gave the Celtics a 60-51 lead with 7:17 left in the third quarter — Boston’s fourth and final field goal of the period. That surge wiped out a 51-40 halftime deficit and led to a 76-62 margin after the third quarter. The Magic stayed in front by at least five points the rest of the way as the Celtics did too much freelancing.

“We were getting what we deserved,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said, “I love our team on paper, but we tend to be front-runners. When we get a good lead we relax and teams take advantage of it and then you’re caught and it’s tough to turn it back on.”

Rondo scored 17 points and Ray Allen added 14 for the Celtics.

But the Magic put together an outstanding 12 minutes of offense and defense in the decisive quarter. The Celtics had seven turnovers and only four field goals in the period, while the Magic had 12 baskets and two turnovers.

Two-shot win over Luke Donald gives golfer No. 2 ranking The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — In a tournament everyone expected him to win, Steve Stricker was trying not to lose.

Instead of firing at flags and trying to make birdies, which allowed him to build a six-shot lead at Riviera, he suddenly found himself playing it safe and trying not to make bogeys.

Instead of having a chance to break the 25-year-old tournament scoring record, he feared matching a PGA Tour record for blowing the biggest lead.

The Northern Trust Open ultimately ended Sunday the way everyone thought it would — Stricker in tears after another victory.

“I just knew it was going to be hard,” Stricker said after closing with a 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory over Luke Donald. “You’re playing a different game than what you normally play. You played scared — at least I did there for a while.”

Back-to-back birdies at the turn settled him down. Another clutch putt for par on the 15th hole essentially clinched it for him.

Stricker won for the fourth time in his last 15 starts, moving up to No. 2 in the world for the second time in his career. It was his eighth career victory, and the eighth time he couldn’t make it through his TV interview without wiping tears from his eyes.

This time, all it took was a reminder of where he was four years ago, when he lost his PGA Tour card.

The final round felt as though it lasted just as long.

His lead was cut in half after four holes after Stricker missed a short par putt. It was down to two shots when Donald made a 10-foot birdie on the fifth hole. It might have vanished entirely had Donald not missed birdie putts about the same length on the next two holes.

“If I got really hot with the putter, I could have maybe caught Steve,” said Donald, who closed with a 66.

“He played nicely coming down the stretch, and I think he was a deserved winner. But at least I gave him a little run for his money.”

Stricker finished at 16-under 268 and earned $1.152 million to go over $25 million for his career.

Dustin Johnson, who shot a 74 on Saturday to fall out of the lead, made one last run and got within three shots. He shot a 66 and tied for third with J.B. Holmes, who closed with a 67.

Steve Stricker chips to the second green in the final round of the Northern Trust Open golf tournament at Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, Sunday. Stricker won the tournament.

Stricker built his lead back to four shots on the back nine when he started playing cautiously and saw it start slipping away. Then came the 15th, when he missed his 4-iron to the left and chipped poorly to 10 feet, only to make his biggest putt of the round.

“My father-in-law always says there’s a defining moment when you’re going to win a golf tournament,” Stricker said. “And I think that was it right there. It allowed me to keep a three-shot lead going into the last three holes.”

Phil Mickelson, trying to become

the first player to win three straight years at Riviera, had a 73 and finished 14 shots behind.

Even as he left the course Saturday night leading by five shots, Stricker said he expected a long, tough day.

The long day came from having to return in the morning darkness to finish off his third round. With temperatures in the 40s before the sun climbed over Sunset Boulevard, he rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the 15th, hit 7-iron to 4 feet for birdie on the 16th and led by seven shots until a bogey on the 18th, his first in 32

holes. Stricker completed a 66 for a six-shot lead.

The tough part was finishing it off.

Stricker knew he was in for a battle when he had 5-iron to clear the bunker at the par-5 opening hole. Instead, he took 4-iron to play it safe, went just over the green and failed to make birdie.

Stricker didn’t have another birdie putt inside 20 feet until the eighth hole, but he converted it. Donald, meanwhile, had birdie chances inside 20 feet over the opening eight holes, but only made three of them.

Stricker also had a big lead at the Western Open in 1996, when he went on to win by eight shots.

“It was so long ago I couldn’t really remember how I handled it,” Stricker said. “It’s just difficult playing with that sort of lead. A lot of guys were making birdies and applying pressure. I’m just happier than heck to be here and be the champion.”

This is the second time Stricker has gone to No. 2 in the world — he also got there in September after winning in Boston — although he likely still would have to win three more times to catch Tiger Woods, who is out indefinitely as he tries to save his marriage.

Could he imagine himself at No. 1?

“I don’t allow that,” Stricker said.

“We all know who the best player in the world is, and I’ll just continue to do what I do, and that’s practice hard and work at it and try to improve.”

Also on Sunday: Jimenez beats Westwood in playoff DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Miguel Angel Jimenez defeated Lee Westwood on the third hole of a sudden death playoff to win the Dubai Desert Classic.

Westwood missed a 5-foot par putt on the third playoff hole to leave Jimenez with a 4-footer for the win, which he calmly sank for the 16th victory of his career.

Verplank, Na headed to Match Play LOS ANGELES — Ross McGowan of England gets the final spot in the 64-man Match Play Championship in Arizona, but only if Tiger Woods doesn’t show up.

Sunday was the cutoff for players to qualify for Match Play based on the world ranking.

Kevin Na shot a 66 to secure his spot in the $8.5 million World Golf Championship, which is held Feb. 1721 in Marana, Ariz. Scott Verplank and Chad Campbell also made sure they had a spot in the field.

Woods is not expected to play the Accenture Match Play Championship, while Phil Mickelson already has said he’s not going because of a family vacation that previously was postponed because of his wife’s breast cancer.

NEW YORK — The NFL’s party week was briefly interrupted by a sobering message about the league’s labor situation.

Now it could be the NBA’s turn.

The league’s collective bargaining agreement also will expire in 2011, and management and the players’ association will meet next weekend during the All-Star events in Dallas as they try to negotiate a new one.

Indications are it won’t be easy.

CBSSports.com, citing a person familiar with the document, reported that the first proposal the league sent the union last week called for a reduction of the players’ share of the basketball-related income from 57 percent to below 50, as well as reductions in the length and amount of maximum value contracts, and elements of a “hard” salary cap to replace the current system that forces teams exceeding the cap to pay a luxury tax.

Neither the league nor the union have commented about the proposal, but it will surely be a topic when commissioner David Stern, and perhaps players’ association executive director Billy Hunter, meets with the media on Saturday.

Last week before the Super Bowl in Miami, DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL’s players union, strongly warned of a potential lockout.

He called the chances of football not being played in 2011 after the league’s CBA expires a “14” on a scale of 1 to 10.

Stern said he will not ask Hunter to avoid saying anything similar that would spoil the good times in Dallas, where the league is expecting Cowboys Stadium to host the largest crowd ever to watch a basketball game.

“There’s nothing that I could or would do with respect to Billy’s ability to say anything,” Stern told The Associated Press. “That’s his job, that’s his obligation and we understand it. We could go to the table and switch sides and argue

the other side. That’s just the reality of it and so eventually there will be a deal, and we hope it’s going to be sooner rather than later.”

Hunter sometimes appears with Stern at the commissioner’s annual state of the league press conference on All-Star Saturday night, but it’s not clear if he will do so this year — especially if Friday’s bargaining session goes poorly.

The sides already held some informal meetings last summer and exchanged some financial documents, getting an early start on what could be difficult negotiations. The economic downturn hit many team owners hard and they are seeking significant changes in a system that the players argue has largely worked.

Stern has said the central issue will be the division of revenues, though a reduction in maximum deals would surely anger some of the league’s superstars — especially with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade among those hoping to sign some this summer. Players can currently re-sign with their own teams for up to six years and with other teams for five.

The league’s last lockout reduced the 1999 season to 50 games. Stern has been optimistic that starting talks early will help prevent another work stoppage.

“At the end of the day, we have a combined interest with our players to grow the pie to the greatest extent possible,” Stern said. “And then we need a sustained business model to make sure that our players in effect remain the highestpaid players in professional sports and that our teams have the opportunity to be profitable.

“I’m sure that reasonable people can disagree about the exact formula that gets you there, but I don’t think reasonable people will disagree on the desirability of our goal and so we’ll just have to find something that works for both sides.”

The current deal will expire July 1, 2011. The league has an option to extend it another year, but has already informed the players it won’t.

for 10th win in a row The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Down by six points with 12 minutes to go, third-ranked Syracuse knew it was time for some shutdown defense. The Orange nearly pitched a shutout the rest of the way.

Syracuse held Cincinnati to one field goal over the final 12 minutes on Sunday, extending the best start in school history with a 71-54 victory, its 10th in a row.

Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East) closed the game with a 28-5 run that featured Kris Joseph’s two pivotal three-pointers and a lot of good defense. The Bearcats (14-9, 5-6) managed only one field goal and three free throws after pulling ahead 49-43 with 12:26 left.

Shutdown defense indeed.

“It comes down to the last 10 minutes,” said Joseph, who finished with 17 points. “The last 10 minutes is crunch time. For us, it’s just playing great defense. We’ve seen everything.

When we get on a run and get ahead, there’s not a lot of teams that can come back.”

Andy Rautins led the Orange with 20 points, helping Syracuse get through another game when its top scorer wasn’t at his best.

Wes Johnson, who fell hard in Syracuse’s win over Providence on Tuesday, was back in the starting lineup but played only 23 minutes. The forward took only three shots and had five points.

New Orleans Indianapolis

By Rich Hofmann Philadelphia Daily News

MIAMI — ean Payton coaches a football team that for decades personified the stubbornness of futility. He coaches in a city that in recent years has come to represent the struggle over adversity. That is what the leader of the New Orleans Saints carries with him, from training camp to Super Bowl XLIV. It is a burden he seems to handle easily.

Payton plays to win. It is an easy thing to say; the words flow naturally enough. It is a harder thing to do, though — harder and harder as the pages of the NFL calendar turn, and the games get bigger, and the regular season melts into the playoffs, and the playoffs finish in the Super Bowl.

Nobody calls an onside kick to start off the second half of the Super Bowl, trailing by four.

Nobody. That it is a better-percentage play than you think — really about a coin flip when you do it by surprise — does not matter. To call an onside kick in that situation is to risk disaster — and, worse, in today’s world, it is to risk ridicule. There is a reason people go by the book — because, if it all blows up on you, you can shrug and say, “I went by the book.”

Sean Payton? He called the onside kick Sunday night.

And it worked.

There were a dozen things that happened afterward, all worthy of words and paragraphs and posterity. The Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17, and an entire team really does deserve the credit. Quarterback Drew Brees was fabulous from the second quarter on. Cornerback Tracy Porter returned an interception for a touchdown with 3:12 left that sealed it.

There were a bunch of crucial plays in between — and kicker Garrett Hartley was money on three field goals of more than 40 yards.

“We talked about it at halftime,” said Payton. “It’s a credit to every one of these players here . . . They carried out the plan. I’m just proud of this team and this coaching staff. And everyone back in New Orleans gets a piece of this trophy. Here we go.”

But it was the coach who ignited them. It was the onside kick that reinvigorated them. That moment will forever define Payton now. Even if the Saints had ended up losing, it would have marked him with distinction.

Of course, there are two sides to moments like that. There is a winner, and there is a loser. With that, the goat is old pal Hank Baskett.

The onside kick went to him, and the former Eagles wide receiver had it and then he didn’t have it.

What followed was the mother of all pileups. You might never have seen another scrum like it, right in front of the Saints’ bench, about 10 players actually involved and dozens of Saints players and coaches jumping up all around and several officials just diving into the mess and trying to ascertain possession amid the maelstrom.

It took a long time. It was combat worthy of the game, and the moment. And in the end, when the Saints’ Chris Reis was the one ruled to have recovered it, the enormous pro-Saints crowd at Silly Name of the Week Stadium — OK, Sun Life Stadium — filled the Super Bowl with a roar. Because Payton had filled his team with gumption.

Earlier, near the end of the first half, Payton had gone for it again. It was not nearly as unconventional as the onside kick, but it was another move that went against the book.

On fourth-and-one, trailing by seven, Payton decided to go for it rather than take the easy field goal. He didn’t get it, either, when running back Pierre Thomas was stopped by Colts linebacker Gary Brackett.

It turned out OK, though.

When the Saints’ defense held, they still were able to drive close enough for a field goal. They got to halftime at 10-6, and then Payton had a half-hour of setting up the stage, and music by The Who, and taking apart the stage, to try to figure out what to do.

Sean Payton? Who are you?

Someone who plays to win.

Try to think of a better legacy.

New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas (23) dives into the end zone after a short pass reception against the Indianapolis Colts during the second half of Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, Sunday.

Saints Continued from D1 A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints’ second-half comeback. Their 25th-ranked defense made several key stops, and Tracy Porter’s 74-yard interception return on a pass from Manning, of all people, clinched it.

repaired and the Saints won the NFC South in ’06, their first season with Brees and Payton.

That was the season Manning won his only Super Bowl. He had the Colts, favored by 5 points, in front for much of this one, but New Orleans’ league-leading offense, which scored 510 points this season, outscored Indy 31-7 after falling behind 10-0. That matched the biggest comeback in a Super Bowl.

Payton held the Vince Lombardi Trophy high over his head and ran into the end zone toward several hundred fans chanting the Saints’ rally cry: “Who dat, who dat, who dat say gonna beat dem Saints?”

Nobody can say it now.

Before many of the 74,059 fans got settled following The Who’s halftime show, the Saints worked a little football voodoo.

Garrett Hartley’s onside kick was touched by the Colts’ Hank Baskett, then recovered by Chris Reis at the New Orleans 42.

“I just told our guys you’ve got to make me look good on this,” Payton said. “That really becomes like a turnover.”

Looking like the NFL’s most potent offense, the Saints seized the opportunity to take their first lead. It came on Pierre Thomas’ brilliant 16-yard run with a screen pass, capped by a dive into the end zone.

Manning simply shrugged, found Dallas Clark for 45 yards on a 76-yard drive, and Joseph Addai used a spin move a figure skater would envy to score from the 4.

But that was it for Indy.

Hartley, the hero of the NFC title game with his 40-yard field goal in OT, made a 47-yarder later in the third period. After Matt Stover was wide left on a 51-yarder early in the final quarter, Brees led the biggest drive in Saints history.

Saints Continued from D1 “Now ... you’re getting to see some of the great things that we have to offer.”

French Quarter hotels and restaurants filled up as Sunday’s game between the Colts and Saints approached, with fans streaming into Louisiana hoping to begin celebrating a week ahead of Mardi Gras.

Almost 4½ years after flooding from Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and nearly chased the Saints out of town for good, the club’s first Super Bowl win may well represent the city’s rebirth.

“You can’t put it into words,” receiver Marques Colston said after the win. “This city and region have been through so much.”

Even the Colts grasped the soulful connection between the Saints and their town.

“There’s a reason America is pulling for New Orleans, and why wouldn’t they?

They’ve been through a lot,” Indianapolis safety Antoine Bethea said recently. “Sports tends to pull people together, so it’s commendable for New Orleans to be, as I guess you’d say, America’s Team right now.”

Who Dat! That’s the shortened version of the team’s rally cry: “Who dat, who dat, who dat say gonna beat dem Saints?”

Egged on by New Orleans players, Saints fans started that loud, familiar chant inside Sun Life Stadium an hour before kickoff.

Long after the final whistle, Saints fans lingered inside, chanting and cheering. It was a win many of them thought they may never see. The franchise began playing in 1967, one year after the first Super Bowl, and had never reached the big game. The Saints have managed only nine winning seasons in their 43-year history, with blooper tapes often replacing highlight reels. Try as they might,

New Orleans fans kiss after the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday. their fleur-de-lis logo often stood for losing.

But the emblem took on a different meaning this week in South Florida. It came to symbolize the Saints’ spiritual connection to New Orleans — and hope for a city that once had little.

New Orleans linebacker Scott Fujita left the Cowboys after the 2005 season and signed with the Saints seven months after Katrina.

“The Saints are America’s adopted team.

There’s no question about it,” he said.

“When I chose to leave Dallas, everybody said, ‘Why would you leave Dallas? They’re America’s team.’

“Well, they were self-proclaimed America’s Team a couple decades ago, and they

have really, really good, loyal fans, but the rest of the country hates them. I mean, let’s be honest,” he said. “So New Orleans, yeah, you’ve got people all over the country who are pulling for us for so many reasons and really, really valid reasons.”

Echoed NFL commissioner Roger Goodell: “It’s a great success story for us, and while I can’t root for a team, I’m really proud of what happened there and I’m thrilled for the people of the Gulf Coast.”

“I don’t think that can be stated enough,” Saints safety Darren Sharper said. “It’s just a close tie between the city and the team.

Everyone says, ‘Are you guys playing for the community? Are you guys playing for New Orleans?’ We think that we are.”

HIGH GEAR: NASCAR

Shootout didn’t live up to expectations

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

Jae C. Hong / The Associated Press

Trucks carrying snow drive along the road at Cypress Mountain, a venue for freestyle skiing and snowboarding, in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Thursday.

Olympics Continued from D1 The biggest test comes today, when freestyle moguls training sessions are scheduled to begin.

Those sessions will provide the first onsite test after organizers spent much of the past few weeks hauling in snow by helicopter and by truck.

Although organizers have stressed the courses on Cypress are almost complete, they did announce Sunday that they’ve pushed back training sessions on the parallel giant slalom snowboarding course by two days.

The event begins Feb. 26.

Training on the halfpipe was cut earlier from five to three days.

“The forecast is looking positive this week, and we’re hopeful we’ll see some colder temperatures,” Tim Gayda, vice president for sport for the Vancouver organizing committee said Saturday.

The outlook, however, still appears as gray as the clouds that hung over the city and clung to

the North Shore Mountains for most of Sunday.

An intermittent drizzle fell on Vancouver, and temperatures hovered around 40. It was colder on Cypress, with temperatures in the 30s, with a light rain.

The long-range forecast has temperatures dropping to as low as 19 on Wednesday, and a light snowfall projected for Saturday. And yet there are chances of daytime showers for much of this week, too.

It’s even relatively warm in Whistler, where numerous events — including Alpine skiing, bobsled and biathlon — will be held in the mountain-locked community two hours north of Vancouver. The forecast for this week has temperatures hovering at the freezing mark.

In Vancouver, along the city streets and gardens, crocuses are starting to sprout and apple blossoms are starting to bud on trees, making for an unusual sight for a Winter Games host city.

The warm temperatures are somewhat unseasonable even for Vancouver, which like Seattle

to the south is warmed by the Pacific currents and traditionally enjoys a mild year-round climate.

What is unusual is the lack of snow on the North Shore Mountains, which have experienced one of the warmest months of January on record.

This is not the first time a Winter Olympics has faced a lack of snow.

In 1998, Nagano had major concerns about a lack of snow in the months before the games, only to see some events canceled and spectators stranded by heavy snow during the Olympics. In 1988 in Calgary, the bobsled competition was postponed when ice on the track melted.

According to the International Olympic Committee, the 1964 Innsbruck Games also faced a lack of snow. The Austrian army rushed to the rescue, carving out 20,000 blocks of ice from the mountainside and transporting it to the luge and bobsled tracks.

They also carried 1.4 million cubic feet of snow to the Alpine ski slopes.

Vancouver Games a long time in the making

By Jack Broom The Seattle Times

One would expect it to take years to land an Olympic Games, but half a century?

As early as the 1960s, there was talk of Vancouver offering itself as a Winter Olympics venue, paired with the ski slopes of Whistler — then called Garibaldi.

By 1970, the idea had gained steam, and Canada formally offered Vancouver as its candidate to host the 1976 Winter Olympics. But the International Olympic Committee chose Denver, setting the stage for one of the biggest embarrassments in Olympic-bid history.

Two years after winning the Games, Denver had to say “never mind.” Seems someone had forgotten to sell the idea to Colorado voters, who, concerned about costs and environmental damage, pulled the plug. Innsbruck, Austria, which had held the 1964 Winter Games, was hastily selected as a replacement.

Vancouver’s international profile was boosted considerably in 1986, when its Expo 86 World’s Fair drew 22 million people over 5½ months.

Efforts to land the current Winter Olympics can be traced back 12 years to a group spear-

headed by former Vancouver Canucks owner Arthur Griffiths.

Outlining the proposal to Vancouver Sun reporters in late 1997, Griffiths said, “I like being told that things of this nature and magnitude can’t happen. That’s what fuels my fire.”

The strength of the bid is obvious: Vancouver, largest city to ever host a Winter Olympics, has the infrastructure and amenities. Whistler has internationally respected ski runs.

Even so, synchronizing the double-sited Olympics posed challenges, including the need to create two Olympic villages and expand the 70-mile Sea to Sky Highway.

The exact price of the Games is in the billions, and depends on what is counted as an Olympics expense.

The Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) has an operating budget of $1.8 billion Canadian (about $1.75 billion U.S.) and will spend $580 million on venues. Concerned about possible terrorism, Canada will spend about $900 million on security — five times early estimates.

Beyond that, several permanent projects costing hundreds of millions of dollars apiece, such as the Canada Line rail extension

to Richmond, were built with the Games in mind. Vancouver Deputy Mayor Andrea Reimer said the Olympic stage gives her city “a megaphone of gigantic proportions” to tout — and further — its opportunities for economic growth and its efforts to become the “greenest” major city in the world.

Permanent improvements, Reimer said, include 1,000 condominium units in Vancouver’s Olympic Village, with about 250 of those designated as “affordable” rental housing.

Enthusiasm for the British Columbia Olympics hasn’t been universal, with opponents citing deep cuts in social-service funding while the provincial and national governments pour money into the Games.

But in early 2003, in an election held just in the city of Vancouver, 64 percent of the voters supported the Olympic bid.

Games backers had been wary about the uncertainty of a public vote, but unlike Denver, at least they cleared that hurdle before landing the event.

Five months after that vote, the IOC chose Vancouver over Salzburg, Austria, and Pyeongchang, South Korea, to host the Winter Olympics.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — There was a tangible sense of electricity surrounding the first event of Speedweeks, a race everyone expected to be so roughand-tumble that NASCAR’s relaxed rules toward aggressive driving would most certainly be tested.

Instead, Saturday night’s exhibition Budweiser Shootout felt more like a cease fire.

The bumping and banging that’s become the trademark of Daytona and Talladega wasn’t too intense until the closing laps. The slicing and dicing of drivers weaving through the field seemed minimal.

And the opportunity to dazzle fans with a spectacular Daytona 500 preview was lost.

“It wasn’t nearly as crazy as I thought it would be,” said fifthplace finisher Denny Hamlin.

“You would’ve liked to have seen a little bit more excitement.”

That’s because NASCAR all but promised as much by lifting the restrictions on bump-drafting and giving drivers the “Boys, have at it” to mix it up more on the race track. Series officials had progressively squeezed out bump-drafting — the practice of one car shoving the car in front of it to push each other through the field at Daytona and Talladega — but decided to let the drivers police themselves after complaints of sterilized racing at NASCAR’s fastest two tracks.

So it seemed logical that the no-points Shootout would be the perfect opportunity to see just what NASCAR would allow.

After all, the drivers seemed fairly feisty in the first practice of Speedweeks, when contact between Hamlin and Mark Martin triggered a seven-car accident that ruined several race cars. The second practice wasn’t clean, either, as bumping between Juan Pablo Montoya and Kurt Busch led to the first of Busch’s two weekend wrecks.

Reinhold Matay / The Associated Press

Kevin Harvick (29) and Tony Stewart (14) race for position during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Budweiser Shootout on Saturday in Daytona Beach, Fla. Harvick won the race.

But come actual race time, it all felt fairly calm.

There were a few in-race incidents, including Busch’s wild slide through the grass and subsequent hard hit into the outside wall, but the breathtaking passes and all-out aggression seemed fairly limited. A late caution setup a two-lap sprint to the finish, but Jeff Gordon’s bump-drafting of Greg Biffle started an eight-car accident with one lap remaining to draw a race-ending caution.

Although NASCAR waited a bit longer than usual to wave the yellow flag — in a presumed attempt to give drivers an attempt to race to the finish line — the wreckage was too severe and winner Kevin Harvick crossed the finish line under caution.

So what went wrong?

Nothing, if you ask the drivers.

Kasey Kahne and Jamie McMurray, the second- and thirdplace finishers, both raved about how exciting it was on the track. And fourth-place finisher Kyle Busch complained numerous times during the race that many cars were out of control.

Only it didn’t translate to the audience, which had hoped all 75 laps were as action-packed as the final two.

e Inside: Official Guid

r a l o S & n Gree Tour Homes

It’s wishful thinking, but also unrealistic.

For starters, the eight-car accident in Thursday’s first practice put many teams in a bind.

Their Shootout cars wrecked, they were forced to pull out the cars that had been designated as backups for the more important Daytona 500. Now down a car, they couldn’t help but worry about those being wrecked, as well.

With several practice sessions and next week’s qualifying races remaining, drivers walked a fine line Saturday night of trying to preserve equipment and keep their focus on the Feb. 14 main event.

There was also a sense among the drivers that the Shootout is a nice, momentum-building win, but the risk of being too aggressive far outweighed the reward.

That, Gordon promised, would change in the big race.

“Once we get to the 500, that’s a totally different deal,” he said.

“Man, it’s the Daytona 500 and everybody is going to be going for it and you’re going to see a lot more risk being taken and for good reason: That’s an important trophy that we all want.

“You’ll see plenty of action and plenty of bump-drafting.”

Conditt Continued from D1 One of two starters back from last year’s state title team — senior forward Casey Wright is the other — Conditt has led La Pine to a 13-8 overall record this season. But the Hawks are just 4-5 in Sky-Em League play, and with three league games remaining they are in fifth place in the SkyEm and in danger of missing the state playoffs.

“I have complete faith we’ll make the postseason,” says Conditt, who in January was named a McDonald’s All-American nominee.

(The Sky-Em League’s top two teams at the end of the regular season are awarded automatic playoff berths into the 4A state playoffs. For the league’s third and final berth, a playoff takes place between the third-, fourth- and fifth-place teams.

If the season ended today, fifthplace La Pine would play fourthplace Sisters for the right to play third-place Junction City for the Sky-Em’s final state postseason

berth.)

“It’s tough but rewarding,” Conditt says about commonly having to deal with multiple defenders assigned to guard her.

“It’s more of a challenge and it makes me step up my game.”

All of which should help Conditt — who also is an accomplished volleyball player and track athlete — to reach her goal of playing basketball at the college level.

After the Hawks’ dream season last year — La Pine went 25-3 and defeated league-rival Cottage Grove 40-32 in the 2009 state title game — Beer and Conditt both knew the 2009-10 campaign could prove to be challenging. Wright and Conditt were the only returning starters, and the majority of the Hawks who would be seeing major minutes this season had only junior varsity experience.

“It’s a different team,” Conditt says. “Not a worse team, but different. We’ve got a lot of younger players who didn’t get a lot of time last year.”

La Pine won nine of its 12 nonconference games this season

but has struggled in league play.

A three-game winning streak at the end of January improved the Hawks’ Sky-Em record to 5-3, but two straight losses have put them under .500 again.

“We’ve got to be smart toward the end of games,” says Conditt, whose team has been outscored 32-13 in the fourth quarter its last two contests. “We tend to panic a bit. Our execution has to be a lot better than that.”

Despite their recent skid, the Hawks still have a shot at the postseason. One win in their last three regular-season games assures them a spot in the Sky-Em League playoffs, which would put them two victories away from a return to the state postseason.

“We’ve got a lot of drive, but we just don’t know how to finish games yet,” says Conditt, who in a nonleague win over Astoria in December scored a careerhigh 32 points. “But we’re figuring it out, and we’ll upset some people.”
