How did District 20 states down, 28 to go ‘Evers’ get chooses a job with interim the OLCC? leader REDMOND

Background checks less extensive than those for law enforcement officials

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

REDMOND — Shay Mikalson, Obsidian Middle School’s principal, will be the next superintendent of the Redmond School District, and will serve on an interim basis.

The board picked Mikalson, who will make $120,000 next year. Mikalson, 34, has worked for the district since 2001 and for the last year has been Obsidian’s principal. Before Shay that, Mikalson Mikalson was principal of International School of the Cascades, a charter school in the district.

None qualified for permanent position The Redmond School Board originally planned to hire a permanent superintendent. But the board recently interviewed finalists for the post and decided against hiring any of the three.

After that, the board decided to hire an interim superintendent to replace Vickie Fleming, who became superintendent in 2006.

Fleming will leave her post when her contract ends on June 30.

yclist Josh Cunningham, 27, of Nebraska, rides along Deschutes Market Road on his way to Washington state on Wednesday af-

ter riding through 20 states on his mission to hit all the states in the lower 48 in a year.

Cunningham’s map of the United States, seen right, shows a blue line through the states he’s covered during the first eight months of his trip.

His bike, a Trek hybrid, below, weighs 120 pounds fully loaded and includes a

lightweight floor pump to fix flats.

He rides about 70 miles a day and plans to finish the trip by covering 12,000 to 15,000 miles on the bike.

Tennessee is his favorite place so far because it’s a “real friendly state.”

As an Oregon Liquor Control Commission inspector and regional manager, the man known as Jason Evers had the power to write criminal citations, run undercover sting operations and require bar owners to turn over private financial information.

But because he was not a police officer, Evers — who was arrested last week and charged with providing false information on a passport — was not put through the same extensive background screening as most law enforcement officers. While police agencies often spend weeks tracking down an applicant’s friends, family members and former co-workers and verifying a variety of details about work and education experience, the OLCC’s process was much shorter and less detailed.

Evers started his OLCC career as an inspector in Portland and later served as a regional manager in Bend, said Christie Scott, a commission spokeswoman.

Industry giants and law enforcement fight the Internet ‘chop shop’

By Joe Lambe McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — From stolen baby formula to hot GPS devices, the Internet can be like a virtual chop shop on the wild Web frontier.

Criminals fence billions of dollars of goods online every year, and the anonymous transactions benefit common thieves, mobsters and even terrorists.

But federal agents are attacking with new software, and industry giants recently agreed to unite to fight the problem.

The U.S. Secret Service in Kansas City is beginning a six-month test of a new computer program that launches high-speed hunts for sites selling stolen goods.

“One man who used it solved a case in 11 minutes,” said Charles Green, special agent in charge of the Secret Service in Kansas City.

Meanwhile, store retailers and eBay, who have been at odds until recently, announced that they have agreed to work together.

Correction In a story headlined “‘Evers’ heading back to Oregon,” which ran Wednesday, May 5, on Page A1, “Jason Evers’” current status with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission was incorrect.

“Evers” is on unpaid leave.

Shahzad pushed too far by financial troubles and religion

By James Barron and Sabrina Tavernise New York Times News Service

Theirs was an arranged marriage: two well-educated children of prominent Pakistani families set up through a mutual friend. He was the quiet one; she was the one who laughed at parties.

At their wedding in Peshawar six years ago, men and women danced separately but also together, “a rarity at that time,” recalled one guest. “It was such a huge gathering that even their family friends from Qatar came.”

When they returned to the United States, his colleagues at the cosmetics maker Elizabeth Arden celebrated with a small

The husband, Faisal Shahzad, put photographs of his wife, Huma Mian, on his desk at the Arden office in Stamford, Conn.

They bought a brand-new house for $273,000, 35 miles away on Long Hill Avenue in Shelton.

By the time they moved in, she was pregnant, the neighbors recalled.

As another day passed, with Shahzad talking to investiga-

tors about the car bomb he had admitted driving into Times Square on Saturday, details emerged on Wednesday about the couple and their life together, along with speculation about his radicalization.

People who knew them, both in Connecticut and in Pakistan, said he had changed in the past year or so, becoming more reserved and more religious as he faced what someone who knows the family well called “their financial troubles.”

Last year, one Pakistani friend said, he even asked his father, Bahar ul-Haq, a retired high-ranking air force pilot in Pakistan, for permission to fight in Afghanistan.

Fifth-grade students raise their hands during class at the Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School in New York. Although charter schools have become a rallying cry for education reformers a recent report from the Center for Research on Education Outcomes warned that “in the aggregate, charter students are not faring as well” as students in traditional schools.

Most charter schools not making the grade Study: Less than one fifth of institutes offer better education than public options

By Trip Gabriel New York Times News Service

In the world of education, it was the equivalent of the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria.

Executives from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, McKinsey consultants and scholars from Stanford and Harvard mingled at an invitation-only meeting of the New Schools Venture Fund at a luxury hotel in Pasadena, Calif. Founded by investors who helped start Google and Amazon, this philanthropy seeks to raise the academic achievement of poor black and Hispanic students, largely through charter schools.

But for all their support and cultural cachet, the majority of the 5,000 or so charter schools nationwide appear to be no better, and in many cases worse, than local public schools when measured by achievement on standardized tests, according to experts citing years of research. Last year, one of the most comprehensive studies by researchers from Stanford University found that less than one-fifth of charter schools nationally offered a better education than comparable local schools, almost half offered the same education and more than a third, 37 percent, were “significantly worse.”

Although “charter schools have become a rallying cry for education reformers,” the report, by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes, warned, “this study reveals in unmistakable terms that, in the aggregate, charter students are not faring as well” as students in traditional schools.

Researchers for this study and others pointed to a successful minority of charter schools — numbering perhaps in the hundreds — and these are the ones around which celebrities and philanthropists rally, energized by their narrowing of the achievement gap between poor minority students and white students.

But with the Obama administration offering the most favorable climate yet for charter schools, the challenge of reproducing highflying schools is giving even some advocates pause. Academically ambitious leaders of the school choice movement have come to a hard recognition: raising student achievement for poor urban children — what the most fervent call a new civil rights campaign — is enormously difficult and often expensive.

“I think many people settle and tend to let themselves off the hook,” said Perry White, a former social worker who founded the Citizens’ Academy charter school in Cleveland in 1999 — naively, he now recognizes — and has overseen its climb from an F on its state report card in 2003 to an A last year. “It took us a while to understand we needed a no-excuses culture,” he said, one of “really sweating the small stuff.”

Visits to half a dozen charter schools in Cleveland and New York state show that high- and low-performing schools often seem to take pages from the same

playbook. They require student uniforms, a longer day and academic year, frequent testing to measure learning, and tutoring for students who fall behind. They imitate one another in superficial ways, too, like hanging inspirational banners: “This Is Where We’re Headed. To College!” say posters in the hall of the Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School in Brooklyn, with campus scenes of a chemistry lab and big-time college sports.

But the differences in how schools are run, the way classes are taught and how school culture is nourished are striking. It is like watching two couples dance a tango, one with poise and precision, the other stumbling to execute the intricate footwork.

Uncommon success At Williamsburg Collegiate, whose middle school students annually outscore the district and city averages on state tests, Jason Skeeter stood before his math students the other day as tightly coiled as a drill sergeant.

He issued instructions in a loud, slightly fearsome voice, without an extra word or gesture. “Five minutes on the clock,” he told the 26 fifth graders, as they began a “Do Now” review sheet on least common denominators.

“Clap if you’re with me,” he said, clapping twice to snap students to attention. The class responded with a ritual double-stomp of the feet and a hand clap.

Skeeter, 30, a stocky man in a dark blue shirt and tie, moved swiftly to a second timed exercise, the “Mad Minute,” 60 multiplication problems in 60 seconds.

“Pencils down,” he ordered after the minute was up. “Switch papers with your partner.”

The teacher read aloud the 60 answers. “Hands on your head when you’re done counting” correct answers, he told students.

He started the timer again as he called students’ names — DeAndre, Alejandro, Nakeri, Lyric — typing their scores into a laptop.

He announced the class average: 37.86.

At Williamsburg Collegiate, everything is measured, everything is compared, graphed and displayed publicly. Besides academics, students compete for merit points for good behavior and receive demerits for absent homework or disrespect. The school drills students on posture and clear speaking, known as SLANT, shorthand for “Sit up straight. Listen. Ask and answer questions. Nod for understanding. Track the speaker,” meaning follow with your eyes.

A rigidly structured environment is part of the formula the school believes produces success.

Another is “the use of data to inform everything we do,” said Brett Peiser, the superintendent. If tests reveal that 70 percent of students do not know how to add fractions with like denominators, teachers reteach it. The curriculum is con-

stantly adjusted.

Although half of Skeeter’s fifth graders began the year below grade level, his goal is for all to pass the state exam. It is a goal that eludes most schools statewide with populations like Williamsburg Collegiate’s, which is 99 percent African-American and Hispanic, with 83 percent eligible for free or reduced-price lunches.

Disappointing average In Ohio, the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy is not the kind of charter school that celebrities visit. It is, however, close to the norm for urban Ohio, where 60 percent of charter school students in the eight largest districts attend a school that earned a D or F on its last state report card, according to an analysis by Catalyst Ohio, an independent publication supporting school improvement.

Alison Ellis, who is 27 and in her second year of full-time teaching, had the advantage of a small class of 14 the other day to teach sixth-grade math, in preparation for the state tests on which the allimportant school report cards are based.

“Yesterday, we looked at the extended-responses part of your test,” Ellis said, referring to practice exercises the students had done. “We had a rough day.”

The Arts and Social Sciences Academy, which Ohio says is in a state of “academic emergency,” might not strike a casual observer as one that is failing its students, who are similar demographically to Williamsburg Collegiate’s — 98 percent African-American, 91 percent economically disadvantaged.

As fifth graders one year ago, only 20 percent of the school’s students passed the state math exam, results that contributed to the school’s overall grade of F. The principal, Debroah Mays, was disappointed by the results. She introduced a yearlong improvement plan that included Saturday tutoring and teacher training.

“We are determined to become a school of excellence,” Mays said.

Even though the school did worse on the Ohio math and English exams than the average Cleveland public school, families did not flee Arts and Social Sciences Academy. On the contrary, enrollment has doubled in each of the past two years. It is a phenomenon often seen in academically failing charter schools when parents perceive them as having better discipline than district schools.

“Families love the feeling of community; they walk in and say they feel safe,” Mays said.

“They don’t worry about bullying. My kids are just a bunch of marshmallows.”

CHICAGO — The rising cost of law school is becoming a sore subject as the number of high-paying jobs shrink.

With large numbers of unemployed or underemployed lawyers who borrowed heavily to pay for their educations, legal educators face growing skepticism about the value of a law degree. Anonymous critics have started blogs with names such as “Big Debt, Small Law” or “The Jobless Juris Doctor” to advise people considering law school to proceed with caution.

Much of the ire is aimed at less prestigious law schools that charge nearly as much of some of the top-ranked schools — where a three-year program costs nearly $150,000, not including room, board or even books. Top schools say they can justify their expensive tuitions because they place a majority of graduates at the nation’s elite firms, where starting salaries hit $160,000 before the recession. But most of the nation’s more than 40,000 law school students who graduate every year do not land such plum jobs, and their salaries are much lower.

Some of the criticism is coming from inside the legal profession. Law professor Christine Hurt suggests that the market for legal education is strikingly similar to the subprime mortgage market.

Her theory, which she posted on “The Conglomerate Blog,” goes like this: Double-digit tuition increases in the last 25 years have priced law schools out of reach for many. Yet the promise of a career at a big law firm with its six-figure paychecks kept boosting enrollment. Easy credit allowed more students to finance their law degrees.

All of a sudden law firms lay off droves of attorneys and limit the number of new hires, leaving graduates out of work with more than $100,000 in loans to repay.

Hurt, of the University of Illinois, ended her essay by asking, “What’s the future of law school pricing?”

“I think the average value of a JD has declined because of shrinkage in the legal job market,” Hurt said in an interview.

“There are simply fewer jobs and more people looking for them.”

But law school pricing is not that responsive to market conditions. Tuition is not coming down. In a slow economy, universities are being pinched by reduced endowments and reduced state funding.

The unrelenting increase in the costs of legal education worries many.

High price to study law Average yearly tuition costs at law schools have been on a steady rise, but future pricing trends are uncertain.

“It’s not only the financially disadvantaged that cannot afford law school,” said Heather Jarvis at Equal Justice Works, an association that promotes public-interest law. “The middle class may also be shut out.”

Law schools are reining in tuition hikes that were well above inflation for the last 25 years, including double-digit increases in many years.

More than 50,000 people took the Law School Admissions Test in December, 15 percent more than in December 2008. The rise in interest was tied to the recession and the shortage of good jobs.

Some law schools saw doubledigit increases in applicants for the school year that begins in the fall. Applications at Cornell University’s Law School were up more than 50 percent, as more than 5,000 people applied for fewer than 200 slots.

Most law school graduates find jobs in government, smaller law firms or in business. But disruptions at the megafirms are creating more competition for those jobs. The environment has forced some to go to document-review services and other legal outsourcing firms where there is no partnership track.

T S BP ‘a little closer’ to sealing oil leak Bulletin wire reports The battle against the giant Gulf of Mexico oil slick gained traction Wednesday, even as officials raced to prepare for a sudden course shift that could push the thick gunk into the shipping channel of the Mississippi River.

Two weeks into the crisis that began with an explosion on the rig Deepwater Horizon, robotic submarines sealed one of three leaks on the sea bottom. The miledeep plumbing fix did not diminish the amount of oil flowing from the blown-out well, but it simplified the next step in the emergency response.

That step involves what has been called a containment dome.

It’s not a dome at all, but a boxy, four-story-tall, 100-ton metal structure that was used in shallow water after Hurricane Katrina.

Refurbished and equipped with mud flaps, the dome on Wednesday was to take a 12-hour journey by barge from an industrial port to the open Gulf, where it was scheduled to arrive by early Thursday above the blown-out well.

If all goes as planned, a crane mounted on a second barge will lower the dome 5,000 feet to cover the largest and most worrisome leak, a break in a 21-inch pipe known as the riser. That leak is 460 feet from the wellhead and is the source of the overwhelming majority of the oil escaping the

The Associated Press

A containment dome made for the leak is loaded by crane onto a ship at the Port of Fourchon, La., on Wednesday. Oil has been gushing into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of at least 200,000 gallons a day since an offshore drilling rig exploded last month. and Breton Sound.

The bulletins from the Gulf have been bleak for two weeks, so the news Wednesday was a morale boost for the improvised army of government and oil industry workers who have been swarming the spill. “It is absolutely a success for us, but it’s not the ultimate success that we want. Our main goal is to stop the flow completely.

This is a piece that gets us a little closer to that,” BP spokesman Bill Salvin said.

Andrei Fursenko, the education

By Andrew Taylor The Associated Press

Rep. David Obey, a leading liberal Democrat but a symbol of entrenched incumbency that’s falling out of favor with discontented voters, said Wednesday he will retire at the end of his term this year.

The decision by the often gruff House veteran of four decades and powerful Appropriations Committee chairman dealt Democrats defending their majority another blow headed into a midterm election where they already confronted a significant loss of seats.

Obey, at 71 the third longest-serving current member of the House, faced a potentially bruising re-election campaign this fall for the northwestern Wisconsin seat he’s held since winning a special

election in 1969.

At a hastily called Capitol Hill news conference, Obey told reporters he was confident he could have won another term, but that with the passage of landmark health care legislation this year, he felt he had accomplished much of what he set out to do in Washington.

“There is a time to stay and a time to go.

And this is my time to go,” Obey said. “I think, frankly, that my district is ready for someone new to make a fresh start.”

Sean Duffy, 38, a Republican district attorney, is seen as the favored candidate in the GOP primary Sept. 14. Duffy has attracted the backing of Republicans in Washington, tea party activists and the party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin.

and science minister, whose agency oversees adoptions, said Tuesday night Russia had not formally implemented a suspension.

Fursenko’s comments, which appear to carry more weight, apcontradicted the assertions of Foreign Ministry officials, who said

last month that there would be no adoptions until the U.S. and Russia reached an agreement on new rules, in response to the case of Artyom Savelyev, who was sent back to Moscow alone last month, just before his eighth birthday, by his adoptive mother in Tennessee.

GREEK DEBT CRISIS As Britons start voting, 3 die in Athens riot economic clouds hover

By John F. Burns New York Times News Service

LONDON — Even with rioters on the streets of Athens and the 16 countries using the euro threatened with mounting turmoil, the economy remained the most frequently — and least candidly — discussed topic here as the three main parties entered the last hours of a monthlong general election campaign. Yet, with government deficits in Britain second in Europe only to those of Greece, some analysts have suggested that this might be a good election to lose.

Whoever wins will be forced to make deep and unpopular cuts, a task made all the more difficult if the closely contested election produces a hung Parliament or a fragile coalition government that could delay important economic decisions.

If victory today could be a poisoned chalice, there has been little in the last-minute campaigning by the three main contenders for 10 Downing Street — Prime Minister Gordon Brown for Labour, the Conservative opposition leader David Cameron and the Liberal Democrats’ leader, Nick Clegg — to suggest it. On the contrary, veteran political reporters said they could not recall a campaign since at least 1992 that involved such a frantic dash to the finish line, above all by the man who is heavily favored to win the largest bloc in the 650-seat House of Commons, Cameron.

UNDERWATER CLEAN-UP

Powerful House Democrat to retire

ATHENS, Greece — Rioting over harsh austerity measures left three people dead in a torched Athens bank and clouds of tear gas drifting past parliament, in an outburst of anger that underlined the long and difficult struggle Greece faces to stick with painful cutbacks that come with an international bailout.

The deaths were the first during a protest in Greece in nearly 20 years.

Fear that the bailout won’t stop the debt crisis from spreading to other financially troubled EU countries like Portugal and Spain intensified amid the violence Wednesday, as credit ratings agency Moody’s put Portugal on watch for a possible downgrade.

The euro sank, dipping below $1.29 for the first time in

over a year, on fears of crisis contagion and concerns that political upheaval might keep Greece from keeping its end of the bailout bargain.

Greece faces a May 19 due date on debt it says it can’t repay without the help. The new government cutbacks, which slash salaries and pensions for civil servants and hike consumer taxes, are being imposed as condition of getting a euro110 billion package of rescue loans from the International Monetary Fund and the other 15 European Union countries that use the euro as their currency.

well. The dome is supposed to capture the oil and pump it through pipes to a barge at the surface.

This will take several days to get up and running, but by Monday a significant amount of the oil gushing into the Gulf may start to wind up instead in the barge, according to BP. The oil itself remained offshore for another day, but it is spreading, creeping closer to the Mississippi River Delta and threatening Louisiana’s Chandeleur Sound

The Deepwater Horizon oil well that exploded April 22 is spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. In response, thousands of personnel have laid 367,000 feet of boom and recovered over a million gallons of oil-water mix.

Militia turns off music in Somalia Militants hit Afghan city

By Sudarsan Raghavan

try eventually told the five stations in government-controlled areas that they were free to decide for themselves. Only the government-run Radio Mogadishu — located in a compound protected by African Union peacekeepers — chose to continue playing music.

Inside his heavily guarded office, Mohammed Sheik Hassan, the head of Somalia’s national security agency, fumed. “It was a stupid action on their part,” he said of the other stations. “Why should they obey those who are on the other side of Mogadishu?”

But Mohammed Osman Aruz, a Hezb-i-Islami spokesman, laughed.

“There is no government in Somalia,” he said by phone from the town of Harardhere. “It’s very easy for us to impose our views.”

Today, Radio Xurmo feels like a graveyard. Outside, the street bears the scars of battles fought over two decades. Men clutching guns are everywhere, but none are assigned to protect the station. The war’s front line is two miles away. Inside the station, dark hallways lead to offices closed off by two iron-grilled security gates.

Behind them, Mohammed somberly read news about a U.S. special court to try Somali pirates. She paused. It was time for what should have been a music break. She motioned at the engineer, who promptly slid a switch.

A recording of gunfire erupted from the speakers, filling the gap during which music was once played.

The Washington Post

MOGADISHU, Somalia — In a capital that pulses with the sounds of war — the rumble of armored trucks, the crash of mortars, the crack of AK-47s — Radio Xurmo was an oasis.

Haunting Somali love songs, vibrant Arabic pop, even Bob Marley and Michael Jackson filled the airwaves. The news, however dire, was bookended by melodic nationalist tunes that evoked Somalia’s lost glory.

“Now, the songs have vanished,” declared Yasmin Mayo Mohammed, 35, minutes before she prepared to read the news.

Radio stations have become the latest front in an unrelenting war that is a struggle as much for Somalia’s identity as its territory.

Three weeks ago, a hard-line militia, Hezb-i-Islami, ordered stations in Mogadishu to stop playing music, declaring it unIslamic. Radio Xurmo complied; the Islamists have killed Somali journalists for less cause.

The station is located in a sliver of the capital controlled by Somalia’s U.S.-backed transitional government. Silencing the music sent a loud message that the government was too weak to face down the Islamists. So the government ordered Radio Xurmo and other stations in its territory to play music — or shut down.

The next day, a Hezb-i-Islami leader called the station’s director and warned that if the music did not stop, the militia would bomb the station.

“The government cannot protect us,” said Mohammed, one of the station’s 11 employees. “The

Evers Continued from A1 In Central Oregon, Evers’ work drew complaints from some local licensees. Last year, an Oregon Department of Justice investigation found that Evers and his staff had acted improperly in about a dozen investigations, and he made a voluntary transfer to the commission’s office in Nyssa, a small town on the Oregon-Idaho border.

In that office, part of Evers’ job was to investigate potential licensees.

Evers was arrested last week in Idaho by U.S. Marshals after federal authorities discovered that he may have assumed the identity of a 3-year-old Ohio boy who was kidnapped and murdered in 1982. He remains in custody and is scheduled to be transferred back to Oregon.

Before he was hired as an inspector in 2002, Evers submitted information about his education and work history on a standard form used by many potential state employees. The OLCC also ran a criminal history check.

Scott said an OLCC employee checked Evers’ work history but didn’t have to confirm that he’d attended any particular schools or received a degree. After Evers began working for the OLCC, he was fingerprinted.

“We are not required to verify education unless it is required for him to meet the minimum requirements of the job,” she said.

“For the first job he applied for, he met the minimum requirements for his work history. We verified all of the employment in his work history, so we did not have to go to education.”

When the man calling himself Evers filled out a passport application in October 2002, he listed his occupation as “law enforcement.”

In Somalia’s oral culture, music has shaped society for centuries. Singers crooned about family values, ancient rituals and past empires. Collectively, music helped forge a national identity, if superficially, in a region dominated by clans. “It is a source of oxygen, as important to us as the water we drink,” said Mohamed Hassan Haad, a senior figure in the powerful Hawiye clan.

And ever since Somalia plunged into anarchy after the central government fell in 1991,

Gabliks said law enforcement agencies around the state put potential employees through extensive screening, ranging from criminal background checks to in-person interviews with coworkers, friends and others who know the job candidate.

its people have relied on music to escape and to preserve their morale.

“It makes you feel life is still OK,” said Mohammed Aden Ahmed, 22, a hotel waiter. “It is the wall between you and the violence.”

Hezb-i-Islami and its main rival, al-Shabab, have banned music in other provinces for months.

They have prohibited women from working at radio stations.

And as the militants pushed into the capital, they carried along their ideological conflict.

Somalia’s Information Minis-

Capt. Tim Edwards of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said people who apply to work as deputies are required to fill out paperwork on everything from education to financial history.

Officials travel to places where job candidates have lived and in some cases interview dozens of

people to confirm the job candidate is telling the truth.

Lt. Mike Peterson of the Oregon State Police said new troopers get a similar intensive screening. For his own background check, Peterson said officials interviewed one of his teachers from junior high.

Never a police officer But while Evers had some enforcement responsibilities — he could write citations for a store clerk who sold alcohol to a minor or a violation notice for a business owner who didn’t have proper insurance — he was never a police officer. OLCC inspectors cannot make arrests or shut down a business and do not carry weapons.

“The OLCC, while it’s a sister state agency, is not recognized by (Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training) as a law enforcement agency,” said Eriks Gabliks, director of the Oregon DPSST. “They are not considered police officers by us, and they don’t get the same training as a Bend police officer or Deschutes County sheriff’s deputy or an Oregon State Police trooper.”

OLCC employees can take DPSST classes. Department records show that Evers took several courses, including “Dealing with Difficult People,” “Ground Fighting” and an instructor

but are killed in firefights

By Taimoor Shah New York Times News Service

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Suicide bombers and militants armed with automatic weapons attacked government buildings in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, striking a region where the United States has added thousands of troops as it tries to rout Taliban fighters.

At least three Afghan police officers and one provincial council member were killed in the attack in the capital of Nimruz province, along Afghanistan’s border with Iran. All nine militants — who were reported to have been wearing police uniforms — were

killed in the fighting.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, a Taliban spokesman, Yousef Ahmadi, said in a telephone interview.

Nimruz is adjacent to the opium-rich province of Helmand, where U.S. troops carried out a major offensive over the winter to clear Taliban militants from Marjah.

The attack began when nine militants armed with grenades and light arms tried to storm the governor’s compound, the courthouse and council buildings in the provincial capital of Zaranj, said the Nimruz police chief, Abdul Jabar Pordili.

Pakistani group probably Russian warship rushes to assist linked to N.Y. bomb plot tanker seized by pirates near Yemen U.S. officials assumed Taliban faction was unable to strike on American soil

By Mark Mazzetti and Scott Shane New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — American officials said Wednesday that it was very likely that a radical group once thought unable to attack the United States had played a role in Saturday’s bombing attempt in Times Square, elevating concerns about whether other militant groups could deliver at least a glancing blow on American soil.

Officials said that after two days of intense questioning of the bombing suspect, Faisal Shahzad, evidence was mounting that the group, the Pakistani Taliban, had helped inspire and train Shahzad in the months before he is alleged to have parked an explosives-filled SUV in a crowded Manhattan intersection Saturday night. Officials said Shahzad had discussed his contacts with the group, and investigators had accumulated other evidence that they would not disclose.

On Wednesday, Shahzad, the 30-year-old son of a retired senior Pakistani Air Force officer,

Shahzad Continued from A1 Ul-Haq, now in his 70s, adamantly refused, according to a person familiar with the conversation, saying that he disapproved of the mission and reminding his son that Islam does not permit a man to abandon his wife or children.

As a newlywed, the wedding guest said by e-mail from Pakistan, “there was no sign of him being extremist or, for that matter, he wasn’t a bit religious.” But in the past couple of years, after changing jobs and fathering two children, Shahzad “started talking more of Islam.” The guest spoke on the condition he not be identified because of concerns about his safety in the wake of the attempted car bombing.

“The recession had taken a toll on them, I guess,” he wrote in an e-mail message from Pakistan.

He said that their money worries became apparent in 2008 or 2009 and that Shahzad “lost his way during the financial problems.”

J.P. Morgan Chase has since moved to foreclose on the Shelton house, which the couple had abandoned in a hurry, leaving behind clothes and toys.

A friend was sure something was wrong In February, Shahzad leased a two-bedroom apartment in Bridgeport. His landlord said he never saw Shahzad’s wife.

Faiz Ahmad, a friend from the Shahzad family’s ancestral village, Mohib Banda, said that when he last saw Shahzad, at a wedding a year and a half ago, he was sure that something was wrong. Shahzad seemed changed, he said, sitting by himself and not talking very much.

Shahzad, now 30, appeared to be tracing a familiar arc of frustration, increasing religiosity and, finally, violence. He was born and raised in Pakistan, with a privileged upbringing in a moderate family that lived in at least three places — Karachi, Rawalpindi and Mohib Banda.

Ul-Haq, according to Ahmad, “was a man of modern thinking and of the modern age.”

Family friends interviewed on Wednesday said they believed that ul-Haq was in hiding in the city of Dera Ghazi Khan in western Pakistan, where the family has wheat fields.

Shahzad’s wife was also believed to be in Pakistan, though her whereabouts are unknown.

Dawn, a Pakistani daily, reported that her father had been arrested in Karachi, but Pakistani authorities would not confirm that.

Shahzad, the youngest of four, was born into a new generation in the years after a military autocrat, Zia ul-Haq, began to inject a rigid version of Islam into Pakistan’s education system. At the same time, hard-line mosques were given money and land, elevating a narrow, often sectarian world view that cast a pall over young Pakistanis.

Huma Mian married Shahzad soon after earning an accounting degree in 2004, and moved to

waived his right to a speedy arraignment, a possible sign of his continuing cooperation with investigators.

The failed attack has produced a flurry of other proposals to tighten security procedures, including calls by members of Congress to more closely scrutinize passengers who buy tickets for cash, as Shahzad did.

Proposed rules Sen. Joseph Lieberman, IConn., and Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., proposed stripping accused terrorists of American citizenship, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg asked Congress to block the sale of firearms and explosives to those on terrorist watch lists.

One issue that investigators are vigorously pursuing is who provided Shahzad with cash to purchase the SUV and his plane ticket. “Somebody’s financially sponsoring him, and that’s the link we’re pursuing,” one official said. “And that would take you on the logic train back to PakTaliban authorizations,” refer-

“I think he was just normal. Isn’t it always the case, though? It’s always the normal ones that you don’t really think they’re going to do something like this.”

— Shahzad’s manager at Elizabeth Arden Connecticut, where he was pursuing an MBA at the University of Bridgeport and, on an H1-B visa for highly skilled workers, was working as an operation analyst at Elizabeth Arden, managing and analyzing accounts receivable, according to a resume obtained by MSNBC. “I was always surprised, with her having to buy milk for the baby and everything else, how they afforded this on one income,” recalled Brenda Thurman, a neighbor in Shelton.

The couple did not socialize much with people on their block.

“It was three years before I knew she spoke English,” Thurman said.

Thurman said that Mian left for a couple of months in late 2008 or early 2009, and that Shahzad told her she was going to Pakistan to have their second child. Within a few months of her return, they packed up and left again last summer.

Shahzad, who had left Elizabeth Arden in 2006 to become a client reporting analyst at Affinion, a financial marketing services company in Norwalk, quit his job there.

Piles of garbage remained outside the home in Shelton this week, filled with clues about their lives. There were packets of Nair, moisturizer with Arabic writing on the back, a makeup brush and a Japanese cherry blossom scent body spritzer, wrapping paper and gift bags that appeared to be for baby gifts.

There was an envelope addressed to “Faisal, Huma and Alishaba,” which contained a card proclaiming, “Congratulations on your new little girl!”

How, why or where Shahzad became radicalized remains unclear. Dr. Saud Anwar, the founder of a Pakistani-American association in Connecticut, said that as soon as Shahzad’s name surfaced in connection with the car bomb, he canvassed Connecticut Muslim and Pakistani groups and found he was not involved with any of them.

But Anwar said he had been in touch with a university classmate of Shahzad’s, a man of Pakistani descent who told Anwar he did not want to be interviewed by reporters. The classmate said he had remained friends with the couple and had noticed something different about Shahzad about a year ago.

“His personality had changed — he had become more introverted,” Anwar said the classmate told him. “He had a stronger religious identity, where he felt more strongly and more opinionated about things.” Anwar said he

New York Times News Service ring to the group.

There is no doubt among intelligence officials that the barrage of attacks by CIA drones over the past year has made Pakistan’s Taliban, which goes by the official name Tehrik-i-Taliban, increasingly determined to seek revenge by finding any way possible to strike at the United States.

The CIA’s drone program in Pakistan, which was accelerated in 2008 and expanded by President Barack Obama last year, has enjoyed strong bipartisan support in Washington in part because it was perceived as eliminating dangerous militants while keeping Americans safe.

But the December attack on a CIA base in Afghanistan, and now possibly the SUV attack in Manhattan, are reminders that the drones’ very success may be provoking a costly response.

Last March, when Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud boasted that his group was planning an attack on Washington that would “amaze everyone in the world,” many American officials dismissed his claims as empty bravado. His network, they said, had neither the resources nor the reach to pull off an attack far beyond its base in the mountains of western Pakistan.

had asked the classmate whether this change had come through association with a group, and the friend said it seemed to be “on his own that he was learning all these things.”

Ahmad, the friend from Mohib Banda, speculated that the transformation was rooted in Karachi.

An associate of Shahzad was arrested in a mosque believed to have ties with a militant group in Karachi early Tuesday, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

“The question is who has put Faisal in this path?” Ahmad asked. “The Faisal with the beard that you see, he was not the old Faisal. He was like you, like me, handsome, liberal and an active person.”

According to Pakistan’s information minister, Shahzad traveled to Pakistan 13 times in the last seven years. One Pakistani official who knew the family said it was unlikely that Shahzad would have been radicalized in Pakistan if he was only on short trips, which tend to be dominated by family commitments like weddings; the criminal complaint against him filed on Tuesday says that he returned in February from a five-month stint. It also said Shahzad had been trained in bomb-making in Waziristan.

Carried a dagger as a child in Pakistan Another family friend in Pakistan, Kifayat Ali, called Shahzad “emotional” and said that he used to carry a dagger around with him as a boy. He speculated that Shahzad had become enraged by the United States’ military actions, fueled by the Pakistani press blaring conspiracy theories and anti-American vitriol.

“A person sees the brutality of Afghanistan and Iraq,” Ali noted.

“These scenes affect people.”

The resume posted Wednesday on msnbc.com said Shahzad held three different positions at Elizabeth Arden over five years starting in mid-2001, and then spent three years at Affinion. At Arden, he said he had “decreased bad debt write-offs by 47 percent” and “recovered over $2.5 mil in ‘lost’ revenue.” At Affinion, he said he prepared “monthly commission forecasting for high-profile Affinion clients such as Citibank, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland, Peoples Bank, US Bank, Wells Fargo and a couple of smaller clients.”

But James Hart, an Affinion spokesman, said “there’s a lot of resume puffery in there” and that Shahzad had been “one rung up from entry level” when he left.

A former manager at Elizabeth Arden said that he was the only Pakistani working for the company at the time, but never asked for special accommodation for prayer. And she remembered that on Sept. 11, Shahzad, like everyone else, huddled around the one radio in the office, listening to bulletins about the attacks on the World Trade Center.

“I think he was just normal,” she recalled. “Isn’t it always the case, though? It’s always the normal ones that you don’t really think they’re going to do something like this.”

PARIS — A Russian warship was steaming toward an oil tanker that was hijacked at dawn with 23 Russian crew members aboard 350 miles off the coast of Yemen, the European anti-piracy naval force said Wednesday.

The tanker had been on its way from Sudan to China with a valuable cargo of crude oil. Its seizure seemed a setback for the European Naval Force, which has recently been claiming successes for a new strategy to intercept pirate vessels far out at

The board recently adopted a proficiency-based system, in which teachers focus on specific state standards and students are judged on how well they meet those.

Mikalson said maintaining that momentum was key and was a major reason why he wanted to be superintendent.

“We’re just on the cusp of doing great things,” Mikalson said. “We need to stay the course.”

Mikalson won’t become full-time superintendent until July 1 and said he will be the full-time principal at Obsidian until that point. The district has not announced how or when it will fill the Obsidian position.

Though Mikalson’s agreement is for just one year, Rodby said it is possible that he will remain superintendent beyond next year.

“That’s certainly our hope,” Rodby said.

During a brief meeting Wednesday, M.A. Lynch Elementary School Principal Brian Lemos praised the board’s decision, particularly considering the experience of Mikalson, 34, with proficiency-based education.

‘Joe the Plumber’ gets a new gig with Ohio GOP

Chop Shop Continued from A1 Store retailers have long wanted to make websites liable for their part in the stolen goods market and regulate them. Internet firms have resisted, calling the efforts a threat to Web freedom.

But in March the National Retail Federation trade group and eBay announced that they will meet regularly and cooperate with law enforcement to fight organized retail crime.

“We’d like to work together rather than battle this out in Congress,” said Joseph LaRocca, a senior adviser to the retail federation.

A 2009 survey by the retail federation members found that more than 90 percent of members have been hit in the last year by organized retail crime, up 8 percent from the 2008 survey.

They often work with federal agents. The Secret Service, U.S postal inspectors and the FBI often become involved in the complex cases that can begin with local authorities and spread.

The Secret Service hopes a new computer program developed by a private security expert will help solve more cases more quickly. The agency will soon test the software that searches nationwide many times faster than police and federal agents already surfing the Web, Green said.

The criminals strike stores hundreds of miles apart, moving goods online and elsewhere.

The items are often still in boxes, authorities say, with price tags or even store security devices still attached.

Just the better cooperation between retailers and companies like eBay will catch more thieves, say police such as Detective Andrew Kearney in Overland Park, Kan. A recent local case showed how federal agents and police in Overland Park and Kansas City brought down the theft ring of John Charles Chass of Kansas City. Chass hired shoplifters and moved the goods on his Stairway-to-the-Stars Web store on eBay. But the man who had earned Power Seller status with 17,000 satisfied customers pleaded guilty last year to four federal counts. In March, he reported to prison for a 33-month sentence.

Prosecutors said he employed six shoplifters in a $1.2 million scheme that lasted from at least 2005 to 2007.

Kearney and federal agents also worked on the case of Stephen Perrigo of Blue Springs, Mo. Perrigo was a two-pronged thief. He bought expensive goods such as video games and DVDs and sold them on the Internet.

Then he returned to stores apparently intact boxes that were empty or had worthless stuff in them and got full store refunds.

Perrigo, who authorities said stole about $250,000 they know about, pleaded to one federal count last year and was sentenced to 33 months.

A former Lawrence, Kan., police officer, Robert Ryan Sayler, ran a similar scheme.

Saylor pleaded guilty to 14 counts of federal wire fraud, and in November a judge sentenced him to probation.

Kearney said Perrigo showed up on their radar after a Walmart store started seeing returns of cheap rifle scopes that were substituted for expensive scopes.

Surveillance video showed Perrigo, and police identified him and found he had sold about 3,000 items on eBay, Kearney said.

Perrigo operated throughout the metropolitan area and as far away as St. Louis and Des Moines, Kearney said.

The FBI has seven task forces in other cities that target organized retail crime. Section chief David Johnson spoke of the scope of the problem in a November statement to a committee of Congress.

Among his points: • The unknown billions of dollars lost annually from such crime cost states hundreds of millions of dollars in lost tax revenue.

• There is a health and safety danger because products like stolen baby formula and pharmaceuticals get mishandled and improperly stored.

• Links have been established between such crime and other criminal enterprises like the terrorist group Hezbollah and the international street gang MS-13.

In a 2005 Texas case that involved stolen baby formula and other goods, LaRocca said, authorities filed felony charges against more than 40 suspects and traced some crime proceeds to the terrorist group Hamas.

“To put it succinctly,” LaRocca told Congress, “baby formula theft was funding assassination plots and international terrorism.”

Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher was elected a GOP committeeman in the Toledo area.

“Joe the Plumber,” who became a conservative star in the 2008 presidential campaign by confronting then-candidate Barack Obama, has been elected to a GOP party post in Ohio.

Samuel Wurzelbacher was elevated

by Republicans as the symbol of middle-class America confronting the

policies of the Democrats, especially on taxes. The name “Joe the Plumber” became a rallying cry at Republican rallies as the John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket sought to ignite its base.

Wurzelbacher was elected as a GOP committeeman, one of 400 who oversee the GOP in northwestern Ohio. He won his spot by a 38-23 vote Tuesday in his suburban Toledo precinct.

On Oct. 12, 2008, three days before

the final presidential debate, Obama toured Wurzelbacher’s neighborhood.

Wurzelbacher questioned Obama about his tax plan and whether it would destroy the American dream.

He earned his nickname from his job as a plumber and his desire to open a small business.

Obama explained that taxes would be going up but, in his description, said, “It’s not that I want to punish

your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success too.” It was that comment that threw fuel on the fire for Republicans who argued that Democrats and particularly Obama wanted to redistribute wealth in the United States.

Since his campaign appearance, Wurzelbacher has written a book and spoken to conservative gatherings.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Tourism up in March Tourism jumped in the city of Bend and unincorporated Deschutes County in March, according to a room-tax report released Wednesday. Room taxes collected on overnight lodging are a barometer of activity in the tourism industry.

The city reported a 16.7 percent gain in March over March 2009 and the county reported an 11.9 percent jump. For the county, it was the second consecutive double-digit increase after four consecutive months of lower collections. In the city, it was the fourth straight gain after 21 months of declines.

For the fiscal year that began July 1, collections are down 2.9 percent in the city from the same nine months a year earlier and down 8.6 percent in the county.

Doug La Placa, president and CEO of Visit Bend, the city’s tourism-promotion agency, said in an e-mail that while the 2.9 percent drop “is far from ideal for Bend,” it’s far better than the agency’s forecast for a room-tax decline of 13.5 percent for the fiscal year.

“It is also worth noting that with the USA Cycling National Championships and the USA Beard and Moustache National Championships coming to Bend in June, we are in a very good position to finish the fiscal year (June 30) even with last year,” he wrote. “Again, while this is far from ideal, it is quite positive news in light of the recession.”

In a separate e-mail, Alana Audette, president and CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association, largely attributed the county’s March jump “… to a strong spring break week ... with excellent weather and a large number of last-minute spring break bookings.” The booking pace for summer is reported to be up from 2009, but is uneven, she added. “This sporadic booking pace is consistent with the national reports being received from U.S. Travel Association, which is calling for unpredictable, shorter booking windows throughout the rest of 2010.”

Founders of 10 Barrel beer to be in TV pilot The three founders of 10 Barrel Brewing Co. in Bend could soon be reality television stars, if all goes well when a film crew shoots footage of them next week.

A California-based production company will film 10 Barrel partners Garrett Wales, Chris Cox and Jeremy Cox Monday through Wednesday to produce the pilot of a reality television show about a group of young beer brewers, which the company hopes to sell to a television network, Chris Cox said. The production company approached the group of beer makers, who also own JC’s Bar & Grill, while looking nationally for a youthful, growing company to profile, Cox said.

Cox thinks the show might focus more on the business end of 10 Barrel. “It should be pretty fun,” he said.

FINANCIAL OVERHAUL BILL

Liberal Democrats move to toughen regulations Senators seek to break up the biggest banks

By David M. Herszenhorn New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Liberal Democrats in the Senate, emboldened by a wave of populism, are trying to make financial regulatory legislation far tougher on Wall Street, potentially restricting or breaking up the biggest banks and financial companies.

Normally such efforts might attract little concern among Senate leaders or the

White House. But the confluence of a highstakes election year and a pervasive antiWall Street sentiment after the recession has given liberals unusual muscle in the debate. It has also raised the prospect that they could succeed in reshaping the bill.

The liberal amendment that could be hardest to defeat — and is among the most deeply dreaded by Wall Street — also has some of the purest populist appeal: a pro-

posal by Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Sen. Ted Kaufman of Delaware to break up the nation’s biggest banks by imposing caps on the deposits they can hold and limits on other liabilities.

“Look at what we did to AT&T, look at Standard Oil, basically what you do is you just split it apart,” Kaufman said in an interview. “If we don’t do that, we have got too big to fail, because when you look at these big complex entities, you cannot resolve them in a major financial crisis.”

See Reform / B5

“The era of mass is over, in some respect. The newsweeklies, for so long, have tried to be all things to all people, and that’s just not going to cut it in this highly niche, politically polarized, media-stratified environment that we live in today.”

Notices of default continued to pile up in Deschutes County in April, but for the first time since December 2006, the pace of monthly filings declined on a year-over-year basis.

There were 318 notices filed in April compared with 346 in April 2009, according to the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office.

That breaks a 40-month streak in which the number of notices filed in any given month since December 2006 eclipsed the number filed in the same month a year earlier.

The drop was interesting to commentators contacted by The Bulletin for their perspective, but they scoffed at any suggestion it’s indicative of a strengthening real estate market.

“I would be wary about reading too much into one month’s data,” said Timothy Duy, an economist with the University of Oregon who tracks Central Oregon’s economy. “In and of itself, it could simply be a blip in the data, especially considering speculation that the pace of foreclosures will rise in the months ahead as now more profitable banks seek to shed nonperforming assets.”

Broad solution may be beyond Europe’s means

By Landon Thomas Jr. New York Times News Service

Europe may need a broad cure to its debt crisis, but the increasingly awkward pairing of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund makes such action unlikely.

Just three days after a 110 billion euro ($134 billion) bailout of Greece was presented as the latest step to stabilize European markets, the opposite has transpired. Fears have spread through the financial markets that a larger epidemic would infect Spain, Portugal and perhaps even other indebted countries outside the euro zone, like Britain and the United States.

In response, analysts are calling for a shock and awe option, some rescue of the largest of the peripheral euro zone economies suffering from stagnation and high levels of debt, not unlike the Troubled Asset Relief Program that was created to restore confidence in the American financial system.

They suggest that the European Central Bank buy back billions of euros of unwanted Greek, Portuguese and Spanish debt and that the IMF offer a large bailout for Spain.

Such a broad stroke would surely cost more than the $700 billion that the United States pledged to back up its failing banks in late 2008. Therein lies the rub: Not only is it an enormous sum, but it requires a degree of flexibility, political courage and teamwork that the European Union and the IMF have not yet begun to show.

“It is not really about money,” said Timothy Congdon an economist and professed euro skeptic who foresees an exodus of savings from banks on Europe’s periphery to Germany as doubts build about these countries’ staying power in the Eurozone.

“It is about how much pain the people in periphery can stand in order to keep this thing going.

Once the confidence is gone, and Greeks and Spaniards move their deposits to Frankfurt, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the whole thing implodes.”

Money supply Officials throughout Europe continue to say that the plan for Greece is sufficient and there is no need for a broader aid proposal or for a formal debt restructuring in any afflicted countries. Investors, though, continue to push down the euro, which fell to $1.28 on Wednesday, in one of the most significant signs of eroding confidence.

The traditional way to combat unemployment in a recession is to expand the money supply. Such a step puts downward pressure on interest rates and makes capital more plentiful for businesses and consumers alike, spurring economic growth.

Congdon notes that recent figures indicate that even after deflationary pressures in Spain and Ireland, as well as the broader effect of the Greek crisis on credit-starved banks in Europe, there has been no growth in the European Central Bank’s money supply.

This is proof enough, he contends, that the central bank remains under the influence of Germany, which firmly opposes this type of debt monetiza-

EU finance chief vents over ratings BRUSSELS — The European Union’s financial services commissioner, Michel Barnier, vented his frustration with American-based credit ratings agencies Wednesday as Moody’s Investors Service put Portugal on review for another possible downgrade that could make it more difficult for the country to service its debt.

Barnier was briefing reporters before his first official visit to the United States, where he was to meet Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, and Timothy Geithner, the Treasury secretary. He will also meet with Wall Street leaders like Lloyd Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, and Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase.

Barnier complained that

Justin Forer, a technology consultant for the IBB Consulting Group, talks to a colleague in Pennsylvania from his home in Miami.

Videoconferencing has become more advanced and popular but has not replaced face-to-face meetings.

A N A LY S I S tion, one that has been aggressively deployed in the United States and Britain to combat the recession.

As for the IMF, its ambitious managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has been eager to present the fund as a potential savior for Europe. This is in spite of a postwar track record of providing a specific treatment of fiscal austerity and currency devaluation only when asked.

So far, the fund has not shown the type of flexible, multination solution that investors now say is warranted.

And even if the fund were called upon to address Europe’s broader debt crisis, doubts remain about whether it has sufficient funds to do the job properly.Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, RIll., a member of the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees funding to the IMF, estimates that a bailout of Spain could cost as much as $600 billion. Citing research from the Congressional Research Service, he says that the fund has only $268 billion to lend.

A conundrum But there may be a deeper problem. The classic methodology that the fund uses in such situations — harsh austerity leavened with a currency devaluation — may not be fully applied in this instance. Greece alone does not control the euro, nor does Portugal or Spain. According to Desmond Lachman, an economist and a former staff member in the fund’s policy review department, it is this conundrum that makes the fund’s job in Europe nearly impossible — especially in light of the 2 trillion euros of outstanding debt in the troubled peripheral economies.

Some analysts wonder if the ever-sliding euro could give Greece and Europe the devaluation and the competitive boost it so desperately needs — or whether it will again be too little, too late. Greece is not the only country that must survive brutal spending cuts and maintain a fixed currency regime.

Both Latvia, as part of an IMF program, and Lithuania, on its own, have seen their economies shrink by more than 10 percent as a result of deep pullbacks in government spending. Lachman says that when the IMF came to the rescue of Latvia, which also has a fixed currency, staffers recommended that the Latvian lat be allowed to float to ease the pain of the budget cuts.

“I know that the staffers were very unhappy with the program — they believed it would be impossible to achieve an adjustment in Latvia without moving the exchange rate,” Lachman said. “But the European Commission felt that if Latvia moved its rate, there would be contagion in Europe — so they put the pressure on.” So far, neither Latvia, nor Lithuania for that matter, has been overwhelmed with the type of protests now occurring regularly in Athens.

But for Greece, where unions are powerful and already gearing up to oppose the government, not having the luxury to devalue the currency will make it all the harder for the fund’s program to succeed. there were too few debt rating agencies, and he suggested that they were dominated by American owners.

“There are not enough ratings agencies, not enough competition and not enough diversity,” he said. “Why should there not be an agency that is more European than those that exist today?”

A decision by Standard & Poor’s, also based in the United States, to downgrade Greece’s debt to junk status last month enraged European officials, who questioned whether the ratings agencies were accurately assessing how likely it was that countries in the euro zone would default on their sovereign debts.

Barnier said it was “an open question” whether such an alternative agency should be run by the private sector or by a public body.

Beaming into the meeting: Videoconferencing grows

By Phyllis Korkki New York Times News Service

Fallout from a recession and ash from a volcano drove more companies than ever to try videoconferencing. Once the skies clear on both fronts, will it be time to plan more business trips or will virtual meetings continue to get the job done?

As a technology consultant for the IBB Consulting Group, Justin Forer of Miami takes 100 to 150 flights a year and also participates in one to four audio or videoconferences a day. His answer? “I do believe you can get quite a bit done via teleconferencing” — especially things like project updates and clarifications.

But when it comes to creating strategies, general brainstorming or generating new business, a trip is better, he said. He sees videoconferences as just another tool in his arsenal of business interactions.

Revenue from videoconferencing grew during the recession, according to the Gartner research firm. That growth is expected to continue as the economy recovers. Gartner forecasts that videoconferencing will generate more than $8.6 billion in revenue worldwide in 2013, compared with less than half that amount in 2009.

If companies have both options at their disposal, how can they deploy them successfully?

Videoconferencing “is well suited to routine kinds of information exchange activities” — for example, a regular meeting of a management team, said Patricia Mokhtarian, chairwoman of the Transportation Technology and Policy Graduate Program at the University of California, Davis.

The technology “enables activities that need to happen in a regular work flow in spite of the fact that people are across the country or across the world,” said Laura Neumann, senior

user researcher for Microsoft, which offers videoconferencing.

And videoconferences can serve as backup in an emergency, as the volcanic eruption in Iceland showed. Companies offering the service found themselves inundated with calls when travelers were unable to make it to meetings.

Making connection Among those stranded was Stephen Prentice, a Londonbased analyst for Gartner who was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at his company’s wireless, networking and communications conference in San Diego.

Once he realized that he would be unable to fly to San Diego, Prentice, along with technical people in London and in San Diego, spent three days figuring out the best way for him to deliver the speech remotely. The title of the speech he had planned to give in person? “The Art of Being There When You’re Not,” about the use of virtual worlds.

With video, it is much harder to gauge an audience’s reaction, so it is important to have “back channels” from the audience to the speaker, Prentice said. While he gave his speech, a colleague in San Diego instant-messaged his impressions of the audience’s reaction (were they interested? bored?) to a colleague sitting next to Prentice in London. His colleague in London wrote down the comments using a marker on a whiteboard. A colleague also monitored and relayed Twitter postings by participants during the speech.

The technical quality of the delivery was “perfectly acceptable” considering the constraints he was facing, Prentice said.

When videoconferencing for meetings is makeshift or bare bones, it can be harder to hold a smooth conversation and read the room for visual and vocal

cues. Jittery or pixelated pictures can be distracting. Sound delays can be jarring, making it hard to interrupt the speaker (good for keeping rudeness at bay, bad for cutting off nonstop droners).

“It really interrupts the natural flow of the conversation” to have technical issues, said Charles Stucki, head of the TelePresence business at Cisco. He says the goal of a company’s meeting technology — with its absence of voice delays, high-quality picture, curved tables and large curved screens — “is not to remind me that you’re not here.”

Travel’s advantages This type of system requires a major financial commitment. A three-screen TelePresence meeting service — including labor, equipment and bandwidth costs — runs from $10,000 to $20,000 a month. For many companies that can be a substantial savings — both in time and money spent traveling, Stucki said.

Still, “it’s not like you’re never going to travel again,” Stucki said. For example, he would have preferred to be in Norway last month to toast Cisco’s deal to buy Tandberg, a videoconferencing company that is based there.

But because of the volcano, he (like Prentice) was stranded in London. So the company set up a global champagne toast to the deal involving hundreds of employees in nine cities around the world — a rare case where videoconferencing was used mainly to enact a ritual.

Toasting a deal, meeting a customer for a meal, having a personal conversation with a colleague — the trip will always trump video in these areas.

Business trips are superior for things like finding and reaching out to new customers, starting a project, soothing a client, dealing with controversy or delivering bad news, Mokhtarian said.

Serving Central Oregon Since 1946

FCC Continued from B1 The FCC officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the announcement publicly.

Genachowski was not available for comment.

Last month, a federal appeals court ruled that the FCC had exceeded its authority by telling Comcast, the nation’s largest cable company, that it had to give Internet users equal access to all online content providers, even if some of their content was clogging Comcast’s network.

The decision raised the difficult question of whether there was sufficient support in Congress for granting the agency new powers.

Today, Genachowski is expected to assert that the agency, under its powers to regulate phone service, is permitted to require broadband service providers to follow certain transmission guidelines, including safeguarding privacy, not discriminating against certain types of content providers, offering service to rural customers at the same rate as urban customers and providing access to people with disabilities.

Genachowski’s decision would appear to have the backing of some important lawmakers.

On Wednesday the chairmen of the House and Senate committees that oversee the FCC wrote a letter to Genachowski saying that they believed “it is essential for the commission to have oversight over these aspects of

broadband policy” and were prepared to consider new legislation to provide it. The FCC apparently will not seek to enforce the vast authority it has over telephone utilities in which it can regulate rates.

Consumer groups hailed the FCC’s intentions after word of Genachowki’s planned announcement leaked Wednesday.

Even after the FCC lays out its authority, there are still potential speed bumps in carrying out its policy. The five-member commission must vote on the approach, which will be put out for public comment and revision before final rules are set. The process could take months and may be subject to legal challenges.

A spokeswoman for Comcast declined to comment on the FCC development. Though Comcast won its argument in court that the FCC lacked the authority to require it to give equal access to all content providers, the company had already adopted a policy in which it would not block some services or delay their speed of transmission.

The case, Comcast v. FCC, which was decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, involved a file-sharing service known as BitTorrent, which users employ to exchange large files including video and music.

The decision worried advocates of open Internet service, who said that it would let service providers charge content providers different rates for access to its customers based on how much of a network’s bandwidth they wanted to use.

Adobe tech executive likens Apple to railroad monopolies

By John Letzing MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple Inc.’s recent competitive behavior is similar to that of a 19th century railroad company, Adobe Systems Inc.’s top technology executive said Wednesday.

“Apple’s playing this strategy where they want to create a walled garden” around the Internet, Adobe Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch remarked at a tech conference in San Francisco. He then compared the company’s moves to the deployment in the 1800s of railways with varying gauges that precluded compatibility with those of rivals.

“If you look at what’s going on right now, it’s kind of like railroads in the 1800s,” Lynch said.

Apple and Adobe have been engaged in an escalating war of words over the effective banning of Adobe’s Flash technology on popular Apple products such as the iPhone and iPad. Apple recently issued a requirement that software for its iPhone and iPad devices cannot be written in Flash, a ubiquitous Adobe program used on Internet sites and services.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, took the unusual step of airing his criticisms of Flash in a long essay posted on a company website last week.

Adobe responded by dropping its investment in making Flash compatible with the Apple devices, saying it will focus instead on platforms such as Google Inc.’s Android operating system.

“I don’t think it’s the role of the company to exercise that judgment over what people are making,” Lynch said to a smattering of applause, while charging that Apple’s practices are “preventing healthy competition.”

Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller referred to her previous comments on the issue, stating that Apple uses “open and standard” technologies, while Flash “is closed and proprietary.” Muller also referred to Jobs’ comments, calling Flash dated and unreliable.

author encourages everyone to stop dwelling on money

Finding your identity

By Susan Tompor Detroit Free Press

If you talk too much about money these days, chances are really good that you’re going to feel really bad.

Even if your 401(k) has recovered some, your job situation could be iffy. Or maybe you’re decades away from getting out of debt.

Things are so touch-and-go that you feel like if you asked Suze Orman if you can indulge in a drivethru McDonald’s meal, she’d immediately chirp: “Denied.”

So maybe it is time to take a deep breath and offer a collective: “So what?”

Nobody’s saying go out and run up more debt on that plastic, mind you. But maybe it’s OK to admit that no matter how well-educated you are, you’re still broke.

Or if not technically broke, that you’re running scared.

“I wish that more people would come out of the closet as broke people,” said Laura Lee, 40, who lives in Rochester Hills, Mich., and wrote a new book called “Broke Is Beautiful: Living and Loving the Cash-Strapped Life.”

“A lot of people are feeling broke.”

I talked with Lee at the Birmingham Unitarian Church in Bloomfield Hills, where signs of wealth still abound. Gorgeous mansions are a short drive away on Lone Pine Road. A black Corvette in the church parking lot had a license plate reading “Morefun.”

Lee, who was working Monday as one of many volunteers preparing the church’s massive rummage sale that runs today through Saturday, says even people with hundreds of thousands of dollars can feel broke if they dwell on what they think their net worth should be.

She quotes a poll of New Yorkers that found that people who earned more than $200,000 a year are more likely than low-income people to feel poor when seeing others with more money.

Her book offers another interesting stat: In a 1999 poll, college freshmen predicted that they

Laura Lee, 40, is the author of the new book “Broke is Beautiful.”

In it she writes, “If you feel as though you’ve been running just to stand still, you should know that this does not mean you’re a loser.

It means you’re normal.” would be earning on average $75,000 a year by the time they were 30. This was at a time, she says, when the average 30-yearold was earning $27,000.

Delusions of wealth Many people, Lee maintains, suffer delusions of wealth. But she doesn’t put herself in that category.

She says, for example, that she mainly buys her clothes twice a year at that church rummage sale where women’s sweaters start at $4, jackets at $7 and slacks at $5.

Prices are lower on Friday and Saturday.

Her income can be sporadic.

She receives money when she writes books, such as an earlier one called “The 100 Most Dangerous Things in Life.” She also writes speeches for corporate executives.

And Lee stays in lower-priced hotels when she travels during about half the year with a Russian ballet artist as part of a business they’ve built that offers master ballet classes across the U.S. Lee studied theater at Oakland University but has had rough years when her credit score wasn’t all that good. She shops at Busch’s Fresh Food Market but says she often buys ramen noodles.

Still, “I’ve always felt more

Lee’s bottom line: It’s up to you to determine how you feel about your financial situation.

“Define yourself as an artist and you give yourself permission to be ‘starving,’” Lee writes in the book. “This can be a great liberation.”

The most practical thing to do with your resources, she maintains, is to put them toward what makes your life worth living.

Think about this.

If times are tough, it may help to take a second job or put every dollar toward paying down debt — if that fixes a problem.

Or it could be time to admit that you’re just aspiring to live a life that you realistically can never afford.

Here’s where many experts would now say it’s time to cut features on your cell phone or go back to basic cable.

But if you still have cable, I’d say the best step is to turn off the reality shows.

Unlike the premise of some cable shows, most people do not have a $3,000 budget for a wedding dress or $5,000 sitting on a prepaid Visa card to revamp their entire wardrobe in less than a week.

As a front-page story in the Wall Street Journal recently pointed out, many people on “Extreme Makeover” could not afford to pay the bills that came with living in high-end homes and went into foreclosure.

“If you feel as though you’ve been running just to stand still, you should know that this does not mean you’re a loser,” Lee writes. “It means you’re normal.”

Most of us will never celebrate a lack of money — or view broke as the new fashionable black —but we could feel more secure in uncertain times if we stopped grading ourselves on our 401(k) balances, the amount of home equity we have and our credit scores.

“If you can’t change your situation, you can change your expectations,” Lee told me. “Your identity is not your credit score — your identity is something else.”

Pick up the pieces of 529 college-savings plans

By Gail MarksJarvis Chicago Tribune

You’ve said yes to the college your child will attend next fall, but the hard part remains. How to pay?

The uncertainty is especially painful for parents who expected college savings to be tucked away in 529 savings plans by the time the bills started to arrive.

But the financial crisis brutalized those intentions.

According to a survey of parents with 529 savings plans by scholarship-search provider FastWeb, more than half lost money as stocks took a beating and bond losses far exceeded the norm in 2008. As they tried to hold on to what money remained, many parents solidified their losses by selling off and gaining little or nothing when stocks soared after hitting bottom in March 2009, said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid. org and FastWeb.com.

Between October 2007 and March 2009, stocks fell about 57 percent, and some bond funds dropped 30 percent from exposure to mortgage-related securities. Nearly a quarter of parents in the FastWeb survey said their 529 plans lost at least 30 percent in 2008, and those with the greatest losses were twice as likely to move their money to safety. So,

they missed out when stocks climbed, Kantrowitz said.

The survey found that a third of parents with losses stopped contributing to 529 plans, and two-thirds of those with losses of more than 30 percent stashed away no additional money. On top of market losses, about 10 percent said they yanked money from 529 plans. If those withdrawals included prior gains, they would have owed the IRS penalties and taxes.

To amass tax-free savings in state-operated 529 plans, the money must be used for college.

Kantrowitz is urging Congress to allow parents to leave money in 529 plans through college and withdraw it afterward without tax penalties. Such action, he said, would help parents whose money is intact let it grow and pay off loans with it in the future.

Three-quarters of parents in the survey said they favored the idea, but there is not a bill before Congress yet.

Still, parents could consider other options:

Buying time Those still waiting for their savings to rebuild could borrow money for a year or two of college and use 529 savings for the remaining years or graduate school. Contri-

butions are limited to $26,000 per child per year for a couple; half that for an individual.

Be aware that you cannot count on the stock market to keep rising and restore your money quickly. Conservative 529 plans, and many financial planners, do not recommend stocks in savings programs for students age 17 or 18.

Families trying to regain losses should evaluate their 529 plans and make sure investments are appropriate for the age of their children at tinyurl.com/3ysoo79.

Select a 529 plan with low fees, one with an expense ratio of 0.50 percent or less. Compare plans at Savingforcollege.com. You can switch to a plan in another state every 12 months.

Shifting gears Financial planner Raymond Loewe suggests that people close to retirement use 529 plans for their own college studies, per-

haps a course that includes foreign travel.

You could change the beneficiary from your child’s name to your own and amass money until you study in retirement.

Be aware, however, that to use a 529 appropriately without being taxed or penalized, the course must be recognized by a legitimate educational institution and 529 money must pay for tuition, said Joe Hurley, founder of Savingforcollege.com.

Get tax money back If you lost money in a 529 and bailed out in the downturn, you might be able to claim the loss as a miscellaneous tax deduction if it amounted to at least 2 percent of your income, Hurley said. For a previous year, file an amended return. And, despite the condition of your 529, you can take student-loan interest deductions and a tax credit of up to $2,500 a year for college tuition.

By Robert Powell MarketWatch

BOSTON — How much — when the time comes — should you withdraw from your accounts earmarked for retirement? Answer that question correctly and you get to enjoy the retirement of your dreams.

Answer it incorrectly and you either outlive your assets or you leave more money to your heirs than planned.

Conventional wisdom suggests that you withdraw on average 4 percent adjusted for inflation. Now comes a paper coauthored by William Sharpe, the winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize in Economics, challenging the conventional wisdom.

“It is time to replace the 4 percent rule with approaches better grounded in fundamental economic analysis,” wrote Sharpe in his paper “The 4 Percent Rule — At What Price?” That paper appeared in The Journal of Investment Management in 2009, but resurfaced recently in the financial-adviser community and is sparking debate anew.

“Supporting a constant spending plan using a volatile investment policy is fundamentally flawed. A retiree using a 4 percent rule faces spending shortfalls when risky investments underperform, may accumulate wasted surpluses when they outperform and, in any case, could likely purchase exactly the same spending distributions more cheaply.”

Having a surplus is a problem. It means that you spent less than you could have in retirement, that you shortchanged yourself. It means you could have spent more traveling to exotic places or visiting family and friends or splurging on your hobbies and philanthropic endeavors.

But having a shortfall is a much bigger problem. It means that you lived too large, too fast. And while it might not mean eating dog food late in life, it sure as heck could mean a much lower standard of life as you age.

According to Sharpe, who is also the founder of Financial Engines, the typical 4 percent rule recommends that a retiree annually spend a fixed, real amount equal to 4 percent of his initial wealth, and rebalance the remainder of his money in a 60 percent-40 percent mix of stocks and bonds throughout a 30-year retirement period.

What’s more, he shows the price paid for funding what he calls “unspent surpluses

and the overpayments made to purchase its spending policy.” According to Sharpe, a typical rule allocates 10 percent-20 percent of a retiree’s initial wealth to surpluses and an additional 2 percent to 4 percent to overpayments.

Sharpe’s study, in essence, shows that retirees waste money by adopting the 4 percent rule.

“The 4 percent rule’s approach to spending and investing wastes a significant portion of a retiree’s savings and is thus prima facie inefficient,” Sharpe wrote.

Instead, he suggests that retirees consider “maximizing their expected utility,” an approach advocated by financial economists. “While we still may be far away from such an ideal, there appears to be no doubt that a better approach can be found than that offered by combinations of desired constant real spending and risky investment. Despite its ubiquity, it is time to replace the 4 percent rule with approaches better grounded in fundamental economic analysis.”

These are points, said Boston University economics professor Zvi Bodie, “that have long been known to academics.”

The only problem with what academia knows to be right and what’s practical in the field — even by Sharpe’s own admission — is this: “Many practical issues remain to be addressed before advisers can hope to create individualized retirement financial plans that maximize expected utility for investors with diverse circumstances, other sources of income and preferences,” Sharpe wrote in his paper.

E. Tylor Claggett, a finance professor at the Perdue School of Business at Maryland’s Salisbury University, said the question of whether it’s time to toss the 4 percent rule in the circular file is an old one and that it has always been perplexing.

“The truth is, no one has a crystal ball,” he said. “Therefore, no one knows how long the retiree will live, what his or her actual future financial needs will be (due to health issues and the like) and the future year-to-year performances of the various capital market components. If all of these were known, we would not have to have this discussion. Instead, we are left with looking for ‘rules-ofthumb’ to increase the probability that a retiree’s needs will be met given his or her asset base at the time of retirement.”

Web

ings on Google or sites such as citysearch.com to ensure a business’s name, address and phone number are correctly listed.

Elite Repeat, which Steve and Pam Boatwright bought about five weeks ago, has no website, and the online listings for it are confusing. Citysearch.com lists Elite Repeat’s location at 222 S.E. Taft Ave. and 950 S.E. Third St., the latter of which is its actual location. Google lists the store correctly.

Since buying Elite Repeat, Steve Boatwright said he’s been too busy learning how to run the clothing store to build a website.

“It certainly isn’t something we want to ignore,” he said.

Pizza Mondo certainly hasn’t ignored online marketing. The shop has a Twitter account, a Facebook page and, for six or seven years, has had its own website.

The restaurant promotes specials on its Twitter feed, offering customers a dollar or two

Continued from B1 Clarence Bales, owner of All About Game Rooms on Northeast Third Street in Bend, said he thought about building a website, but doesn’t think it would draw any additional customers to his store, which sells game equipment such as pool tables and pingpong equipment.

“I think, probably, here in town, we’re like the only place in town that has the kind of stuff we have,” Bales said. “If anybody is looking for that kind of stuff, they’ll find us.”

As the Internet becomes a more common portal for searching out businesses, however, Google and the SBA say a website is the most basic step a business should take toward online promotion.

Other tips include using Twitter, which allows users to write short news blurbs to announce sales or promotions, or using list-

Default

homes, townhomes, manufactured homes, condos and homes on an acre or more.

Ragsdale said a decline in default notices will help sellers in the long run as it translates to fewer homes likely to make it to the market. But she said buyers are still benefiting from inventory that grew slightly to 8.9 months in April from 8.4 months in March.

Housing inventory of six months or less is commonly considered a seller’s market and inventory greater than six months is considered a buyer’s market.

Andy Zook, a founder of Arbor Mortgage in Bend, agreed that there wasn’t much to see in April’s year-over-year decline in default filings, saying any sustained drop won’t come until the region’s employment picture improves. Zook is one among many economists and economy watchers who believe there will be more default notices filed in 2010 than 2009.

“It depends on jobs,” Zook said.

“If the economy remains mired in recession in Central Oregon, I think we’re going to have a tough year in terms of foreclosures and defaults. Nationally, things seem to be turning around more, but I don’t know if we’re seeing that here locally yet.”

As of March 2010, the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 13.3 percent in Deschutes County, 10.6 percent statewide and 9.7 percent nationally.

Continued from B1 Duy also speculated the dip might have been caused by increased purchase activity during the month due to the homebuyer’s tax credit, which likely prevented some foreclosure activity.

With the tax credit now expired, Duy said the number of default filings may pick up.

For the first four months of the year ending April 30, a total of 1,408 default notices were filed in the county. By comparison, 1,173 default notices were filed in the first four months of 2009, and 434 in the first four months of 2008.

A notice of default is a legal document that initiates foreclosure proceedings and is generally filed by a lender after a borrower’s mortgage is 90 days delinquent. The notice states that the property secured by the mortgage is to be auctioned off by the lender roughly 150 days after the notice’s filing if the borrower does not bring the mortgage current.

Kathy Ragsdale, CEO of the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, said property sales increased in April, which may have had an impact on the number of default filings.

According to a report from the association, a total of 2,778 properties sold in Deschutes County in April, an increase of almost 3.7 percent from the 2,680 properties sold in March 2010.

The sales number includes all properties, such as single-family

off if they mention the online promotion.

Co-owner Cliff Triplett said the response to Pizza Mondo’s online presence has been mixed. The restaurant hasn’t had many people utilizing Twitter promotions, but it does have more than 1,300 Facebook fans.

“I certainly don’t think it’s hurting anything,” he said. “We’re not seeing what I thought we would see as far as people responding.”

Triplett and the other owners also pay someone to maintain their website and keep keywords on it to make search engine queries pick Pizza Mondo as a top response. When you type “best pizza Bend” in Google, Pizza Mondo is the first result.

other bloggers and express his thoughts, not as a promotional device.

Though McGeary maintains a second blog that he updates with lists of newly arrived comics or books, he has no website, Twitter feed or Facebook page. Yet Pegasus Books contact information can still be found through a search engine query.

McGeary said it turns him off when he sees a business using social networks or blogs to try to sell its product.

“If that’s what you’re going to use your social media for — promote, promote, promote — leave me alone,” McGeary said, adding that he never plans to try to sell through that medium. “The minute I start thinking in that direction, I cannot write the blog I’m writing. I suspect I gain more by not trying to sell.”

Newsweek

Part of that decline came as Newsweek tried to reinvent itself in an Internet-driven news cycle.

Newsweeklies suffered badly in the past decade, and Newsweek’s circulation has been on a steady downward trend. Its circulation was 3.14 million in the first half of 2000, the earliest figures available from the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

By the most recent period, the second half of 2009, that had dropped to 1.97 million.

In February 2009, Newsweek unveiled a redesign in which it more or less ceased original reporting about the week’s events. It began running essays from star writers like Fareed Zakaria and opinion-driven analyses, and lowered the circulation it guaranteed advertisers to 1.5 million (from 3.1 million about a year before that).

Now, barely a year later, the magazine is on the auction block.

Whitaker said that Newsweek, and Time, which also underwent a redesign, had not chosen extreme enough editorial stances.

“Had they really planted a flag in one direction or another they actually may have had success,” he said. Their reinvention as Economist-esque “thought leader” publications didn’t work because “they still tried to be a little distant from opinion, they couldn’t quite step out on the point-of-view ledge that the blogosphere does.”

Continued from B1 “We will lose money in 2010,” he said of Newsweek, though he declined to estimate how much, and “we don’t see a sustained path to profitability for Newsweek.”

The move was not entirely unexpected, Newsweek’s editor, Jon Meacham, said.

“In the sense that we are all in an existential crisis, it is not what I would call a stunning decision,” Meacham said in an interview. “You would have to have been hopelessly Pollyannaish not to have suspected that there were fundamental shifts ahead.”

Meacham said he did not know whether Newsweek would work as an all-digital publication, or as digital with a print component, but, he said, “I decline to accept that Newsweek in some form does not have a role to play going forward.”

It was unclear who might bid for the magazine. Bloomberg LP, which just bought BusinessWeek, was not exploring a purchase, a spokeswoman, Judith Czelusniak said. Meacham said he was considering putting together an investor group to buy the magazine.

Newsweek had lost $28.1 million in 2009, compared with a loss of $15.4 million a year earlier. Revenue fell to $165.5 million from $227.4 million in 2008, as income from advertising and subscriptions eroded.

Reform Continued from B1 Already, antibank rhetoric dominates the debate, which began in earnest this week.

Odd as it might seem, liberal Democrats are aligned with conservative Republicans on some issues, further lifting the chances of amendments like one by Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., to audit the Federal Reserve.

After President Barack Obama rallied the charge for weeks for tough new rules on Wall Street, the strong push by liberal Democrats is forcing the administration to prevent the bill from getting too tough.

It has also shifted the lobbying strategy for financial companies, putting them squarely on the defensive.

Some of the liberals view the financial regulatory legislation as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to slap handcuffs on big banks that they have long viewed as greedy.

“I have been a reformer and a watchdog all of my life,” said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., in an impassioned floor speech.

“I have a deep suspicion of how big banks treat the little people and what they do with the little people’s money.”

“We bailed out the whales,” Mikulski continued.

“We bailed out the sharks, and we have left the people in the community, the little minnows, to swim upstream and be on their own.” She added, “Now is the opportunity to pass real financial reform.”

‘Intriguing’ ideas On Tuesday, Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat, announced that he would support the BrownKaufman proposal, which would force some of Wall Street’s heaviest hitters, including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, to shrink in size.

On Wednesday, the majority leader, Harry Reid, called the proposal “intriguing.”

White House officials noted that the administration supported some of the liberal amendments, though perhaps not in the precise form in which they are being offered, and would have ample opportunity to shape the final regulatory package when the Senate bill was melded with the version adopted by the House of Representatives last December.

But in a preview of the legislative pirouettes that the administration may yet have to perform, the Treasury sec-

retary, Timothy Geithner, signaled in Congressional testimony on Tuesday that the White House would work to scale back a provision by Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., that would require big banks to spin off most of their lucrative derivatives business.

Lincoln, who is facing a difficult re-election campaign this year including a primary challenge by a more liberal Democrat, put forward a much tougher restriction on derivatives than the White House had anticipated.

In response to a question, Geithner said he was not prepared to take a formal position on Lincoln’s proposal but he said, “You would not make the system more stable by taking functions that are integral and central to banking and separating and putting them somewhere else. That will create a less stable system.”

Emboldened Another case in point is the proposal by Sanders, a self-described socialist, who is feeling bullish about his amendment requiring a public audit of the Fed. Sanders’ idea is opposed by the Fed and the White House, which view it as an encroachment on the central bank’s traditional independence.

Conservative Republicans like David Vitter of Louisiana also support the idea, and Sanders says he believes he can win the 60 votes needed to attach his proposal to the bill.

That, in turn, has the White House and the banking committee chairman, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., scrounging for ideas for a so-called side-by-side amendment — an alternate proposal on the Fed that would give senators something to support while offering them cover to vote down the Sanders measure.

The Senate on Wednesday approved the first amendments to the bill, including one that represented a deal between Dodd, and Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the senior Republican on the banking committee, intended to prevent future taxpayer-financed bailouts of failed banks.

But while that proposal was approved by a vote of 93 to 5, some liberals said it did not go far enough. And the decision by Sen. Byron Dorgan, DN.D., to join four conservative Republicans in opposition to the amendment underscored the potential for cooperation of the left and the right in the days ahead.

Facebook finds itself clashing with privacy yet again

PERMITS

New York Times News Service

For many users of Facebook, the world’s largest social network, it was just the latest in a string of frustrations.

On Wednesday, users discovered a glitch that gave them access to supposedly private information in the accounts of their Facebook friends, like chat conversations.

Not long before, Facebook had introduced changes that essentially forced users to choose between making information about their interests available to anyone or removing it altogether.

Although Facebook quickly moved to close the security hole on Wednesday, the breach heightened a feeling among many users that it was becoming hard to trust the service to protect their personal information.

“Facebook has become more scary than fun,” said Jeffrey Ament, 35, a government contractor who lives in Rockville, Md. Ament said he was so fed up with Facebook that he deleted his account this week after three years of using the service.

Facebook said it did not think the security hole, which was open a few hours, would have a lasting impact on the company’s reputation.

“For a service that has grown as dramatically as

we have grown, that now assists with more than 400 million people sharing billions of pieces of content with their friends and the institutions they care about, we think our track record for security and safety is unrivaled,” said Elliot Schrage, the company’s vice president for public policy.

“Are we perfect? Of course not.”

Facebook is increasingly finding itself at the center of a tense discussion over privacy and how personal data is used by the websites that collect it, said James Katz, a professor of communications at Rutgers University.

“It’s clear that we keep discovering new boundaries of privacy that are possible to push and just as quickly breached,” Katz said.

Social networking experts and analysts wonder whether Facebook is pushing the envelope in a way that could damage its reputation over time. The privacy mishap on Wednesday did not help matters.

“While this breach appears to be relatively small, it’s inopportunely timed,” said Augie Ray, an analyst with Forrester Research. “It threatens to undermine what Facebook hopes to achieve with its network over the next few years, because users have to ask whether it is a platform worthy of their trust.”

GM recalls 198,000 Hummer H3s

By Dan Strumpf The Associated Press

NEW YORK — General Motors said Wednesday that it is recalling all Hummer H3s produced since the 2006 model year to fix a portion of the hood that can detach during driving.

The voluntary recall affects 164,190 Hummer H3s and H3Ts in the U.S. and 198,404 worldwide.

Hummer spokesman Nick Richards said a device on the hood called a hood louver can come loose and possibly detach while driving.

A louver is a panel located on the hood that allows air to enter the engine compartment. It ac-

In a recall document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM said the tabs holding the louver could fracture, causing it to rattle against the hood and become loose. GM warned the louver could strike another vehicle if it came off while driving.

Richards says the repair involves applying an adhesive to refasten the louver to the hood.

He says there have been two complaints of the problem in the U.S. and three in Japan.

GM plans to send a bulletin to dealers outlining the fix this week, followed by a letter to Hummer owners next week on the recall.

Nissan to recall Infiniti G35 over air bag issues

By Ken Thomas The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Nissan Motor Co. said Tuesday it will recall nearly 135,000 Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes to address a problem that could lead to the air bag not deploying in a crash.

Nissan said the recall involves G35 Coupes from the 2005 to 2007 model years and G35 Sedans from the 2005 to 2006 model year.

The automaker says the air bag unit’s wire harness under the front passenger seat could wear down and interrupt the air bag’s signal. In a crash, the air bag may not deploy and could increase the risk of an injury.

Nissan spokesman Colin Price said there have been no injuries reported.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Nis-

san had not yet provided the agency with a plan to fix the vehicles.

Price said Nissan would provide NHTSA with information on the repair in May and begin notifying owners of the recall in June.

Price said if a vehicle’s red air bag warning light had turned on, the owner can bring their car into their dealer for repair. For more information, owners can call Infiniti at (800) 662-6200.

Bend council begins city code overhaul Shelter won’t Feeding geese downtown and jumping from bridges among activities targeted

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The Bend City Council dug into Chapter Five of the Bend Code on Wednesday night, part of the first complete overhaul of a sizable section of the city code in three decades.

Councilors voted to approve a variety of proposed changes, though a second reading will be required at a future meeting be-

fore they will take effect.

Among the changes under consideration is the creation of “civil exclusion zones” in all public parks, the downtown breezeway and adjoining Riverfront Plaza, and the city-owned parking lots between Brooks Alley and Drake Park. Police would be given the authority to ban persons from coming within 500 feet of a civil exclusion

zone for 90 days if they are arrested, cited, or otherwise taken into custody for a variety of offenses within the civil exclusion zone.

Councilor Jeff Eager suggested the possibility of expanding the civil exclusion zones to take in the whole of downtown, on the grounds that it would provide a potential tool for combating panhandling. Police Chief Sandi Baxter said such a proposal would be unworkable.

“We get a lot of assaults downtown from the bars,” she said.

“If we did that, we’d have to give

every one of those people a notice of exclusion, which would be problematic.”

The code changes would also add Riverfront Plaza to the list of city-owned properties where tobacco use is forbidden.

Code changes would address the practice of jumping from bridges into the Deschutes River. City Recorder Patti Stell told councilors the changes were needed to combat the occasionally used defense that falling from a bridge differs from diving.

buy building from county Bethlehem Inn board has no plans to repay county, city for $2M facility

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

I think it’s partly that they like seeing their names in print. They like seeing themselves in pictures.”

— Matt Fox, Mountain View High School journalism teacher

Board members of a Bend homeless shelter have decided not to purchase their current facility from Deschutes County, which paid more than $2 million for the property three years ago.

At the time, the Bethlehem Inn operators agreed to repay the county through a combination of grants and fundraising, and to eventually take over the property.

But problems arose less than a year after the county and city of Bend purchased the motel. The shelter’s board of directors said the building would not meet its long-term needs, and the board had no immediate plans to repay the county and city.

In March, the shelter’s board of directors and the county entered negotiations for the purchase or lease of the Bethlehem Inn building. On Wednesday, the shelter’s new executive director wrote in a letter to the county that the shelter did not wish to purchase

the property and instead, wanted to work out a two-year lease agreement.

“We’ve had some very cordial conversations about how we might move forward, and this is what they’ve decided to do,” County Administrator Dave Kanner said Wednesday.

The shelter’s new executive director, Gwenn Wysling, said, “We are incredibly appreciative of all the county has done for us, and we will continue to work with them.”

Since 2007, real estate prices in Central Oregon have plunged and Tom O’Brien, president of the inn’s board of directors, had made the county an offer to purchase the property for its current market price. County officials refused to budge, however, saying the shelter should raise funds to cover what the county paid for the building.

The county would not accept less than $2.5 million for the property, “because that’s what we paid for it,” Kanner said.

School newspapers cut back on online Many area high school students prefer to read print editions

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

A

t a time when print newspapers all over the country are trying to find a way to be relevant and make money on the Internet, area high schools are cutting back on their online news coverage.

Students, it turns out, prefer to hold high school newspapers in their hands and flip through looking for photos and names they recognize.

But while online presence isn’t a priority for area high school newspapers, that doesn’t mean producing a printed version is getting easier. With

advertising sales down significantly, news staffs this year have been forced to cut back on issues and find new ways to raise money.

When Matt Fox took over the journalism program at Mountain View High School this year, students told him they wanted to see the school return to a printed newspaper. Last school year, the news staff updated its website with news on a monthly basis but never put out a printed newspaper.

“The students were like, ‘No one reads the website,’” he said. “They were the ones who wanted to do print again.”

It was unexpected, particularly with the amount of time students spend online.

“They’re so connected online,” Fox said. “But I think it’s partly that they like seeing their names in print. They like seeing themselves in pictures.”

Miryssa Espinoza, 16, took the journalism class at Mountain View as a freshman, and is on the news staff this year as a sophomore. She’s glad the staff moved away from online journalism this year.

“A lot of kids when they’re on the computer they’re not interested in school,” she said.

“The paper gives someone

something to look through.

When they’re bored at school they’ll look through it and read our stories.”

Hayle Hudson, 18, is a senior who has worked on the newspaper for two years at Mountain View. She said students were less likely to go to the website and navigate through it.

“They’re trying to get away from school when they’re on the computer,” she said.

Next year, Miryssa hopes the newspaper will get more students interested with quizzes and polls and other interactive features.

Along with the other recipients, Torkelson will be recognized today at the 2010 College of Business Alumni & Business Partner Awards dinner in Portland. Each of the recipients will receive $500 in addition to the award.

Wyden bills push for all states to vote by mail

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Oregon’s vote by mail system is so great, voters nationwide should get to try it, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown testified at a Senate Committee on Rules and Administration hearing on Wednesday.

This week, Wyden introduced

a package of bills to give all U.S. voters the right to vote by mail without restriction. While most states allow voters to request absentee ballots without stating a reason, some, including Virginia, require a detailed explanation — down to the town where a voter is vacationing, if that’s the excuse — to issue a mailin ballot. The measures would also provide federal grants to

states and local governments to set up new mail voting efforts and commission a federal study of vote by mail.

In his opening statement, Wyden, D-Ore., made a preemptive strike against the oftenrepeated concern that voting by mail increases the chance of election fraud. He described the state’s checking of every ballot signature against a copy kept

on file, and said the three-week voting period allows for more time to uncover fraudulent ballots.

“I’m of the view that it decreases election fraud,” Wyden said. “Not once has a Democratic candidate or Republican candidate (in Oregon) said they’ve lost an election due to vote fraud in vote by mail.”

O Left-turn bus crashes Conference are not uncommon, to address federal study reveals wild salmon

By Joseph Rose The Oregonian

PORTLAND — TriMet is no stranger to left-turn bus accidents such as the one that killed two pedestrians and injured three others in a downtown Portland crosswalk on the night of April 24.

In fact, earlier this week, Oregon’s largest transit agency agreed to pay a record $1.5 million to a woman who lost a leg after it was crushed by a bus turning left into a crosswalk in January 2008.

Just three weeks before the downtown bus tragedy, one of the 17-ton vehicles hit a woman near a Sellwood-Moreland movie theater, knocking her out of her shoes. She had the walk signal as the TriMet driver turned left.

But despite recent history, and a federal study showing that buspedestrian collisions are more than twice as likely to happen during left turns, TriMet hasn’t altered its operating procedures, The Oregonian has found.

By contrast, other transit agencies have made changes after pedestrians were hit by left-turning buses.

In the past year, transit agencies in Des Moines, Iowa, and Cleveland have adopted no-left rules and ordered drivers to honk before turning right. Cleveland is also among six cities where buses are being outfitted with pedestrian-warning systems.

“These are happening a lot,” said Kathy Shaw Clary, spokeswoman for GRTC Transit in Richmond, Va., where a pre-recorded voice will soon tell pedestrians “Caution: Bus Turning” at intersections.

Studying the problem A 2008 Federal Transit Administration study of bus-pedestrian collisions found that, among other things, drivers often fail to properly “re-scan” crosswalks during arcing left turns. What’s more, the research showed pedestrians have difficulty recognizing when big, rear-axled vehicles are about to turn left.

In Portland, outgoing TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen has called for a top-to-bottom safety review after a No. 9 TriMet bus plowed into five pedestrians at a downtown crosswalk on April 24.

Danielle Sale, 22, of Vancouver and Jenee Hammel, 26, of Gresham died under the wheels of the vehicle at Northwest Broadway and Glisan Street. Sale’s boyfriend, Robert Erik Gittings of Boise, remained in fair condition Tuesday.

Jenee Hammel’s older brother, Ryan, and his wife, Jamie, had minor injuries.

After an unscheduled stop to drop off a rider, TriMet driver Sandi Day allegedly made a sweeping left turn across a second lane on Glisan to get onto Broadway. She had a green light, but the group of five had a walk signal.

The January 2008 accident that cost 68-year-old Patricia Ann Smith her left leg was similar.

Smith is baffled that it took the death of two women for TriMet

to conduct the type of rigorous safety review that might address the trouble with left turns. “They need to deal with this problem,” she said.

Smith was walking her dog across Northeast 21st Avenue near Lloyd Center when she was hit by a bus driven by Tracey Lynn Hughes.

The walk signal said go. Smith entered the crosswalk. Hughes, who also had a green light, turned left. The bus clipped Smith’s dog, then ran Smith over.

Investigators believe Hughes didn’t see Smith.

Moment of horror Video from inside the bus showed Hughes turning into the crosswalk and then abruptly stopping. Several horrified riders can be seen jumping to their feet.

Hughes comes into view as she rises from the driver’s seat, shocked, a hand cupped over her mouth.

Smith was trapped under the bus. At the hospital, surgeons amputated her leg beneath the knee.

TriMet, which admitted fault, said the $1.5 million settlement is the largest it has paid.

Jane Paulson, Smith’s attorney, said her client, who now uses a wheelchair, must pay $220,000 in medical bills.

Just days before the bus hit Smith, TriMet sent each of its drivers a training bulletin alerting them to the just-released FTA study.

After reviewing bus-pedestrian collisions in the nation’s intersections, the study found that 60 percent involved turning buses.

And nearly 70 percent of those involved a left turn.

With the safety review just starting and police still investigating the pedestrian deaths downtown, TriMet officials are reluctant to say what operation changes might be coming.

Policy change?

Since adopting its new operating policies in March 2003, Cleveland’s Regional Transit Authority hasn’t had a single bus-and-pedestrian collision.

“We usually have three or four a year,” said RTA spokesman Jerry Masek.

But TriMet officials said eliminating left turns would be “functionally infeasible,” especially on downtown Portland’s grid of one way streets. Spokeswoman Bekki Witt said the agency is also reluctant to adopt a honk-and-turn policy because “it implies that bus operators should rely on the horn instead of their awareness of pedestrians.”

But Gloria Manon said a honk on the rainy night of April 5 would have saved her some bruises. After walking out of Southeast Portland’s Moreland Theatre, where she had watched “Ghost Writer” with a friend, Manon stepped into the crosswalk at Southeast Bybee Boulevard and Milwaukie Avenue.

“I heard my friend say, ‘Gloria, watch out!’” she recalled. “And then I was hit by the side of a bus.”

It was a No. 19, turning left.

Award-winning painting a copy, student admits

By Jennifer Moody Albany Democrat-Herald

ALBANY — A South Albany High School senior whose painting, “Stolen Wings,” received a gold medal in the 2010 National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition has admitted she copied the painting.

Kasey Bowman, 18, had been invited last month to attend a June 8 awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York and the opening reception of the National Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Exhibition at the World Financial Center’s Courtyard

Gallery, where her painting was to have been on display through June 25.

Scholastic revoked the award and removed the painting from its online gallery after investigating complaints from artist Wenqing Yan, 19, of Monrovia, Calif., whose original painting “Selfish,” created in 2006, is nearly identical to Bowman’s submission.

Both paintings depict a nude young woman from the back, standing with a dead swan dangling from her left hand, its wings severed. The wings have been affixed to the girl’s back.

PORTLAND — Biologist Rich Lincoln worries that the fragile balance of endangered salmon runs are threatened by an outdated hatchery system.

Fishery managers have known for years that hatcheryraised salmon aren’t as robust as wild fish, and that their lack of genetic diversity means whole fisheries may collapse under unfavorable ocean conditions.

But an international conference of scientists and fisheries managers meeting in Portland this week is looking at less-studied impacts — disease, predation and competition for food — and how to overhaul a hatchery system that may hurt wild salmon more than it helps.

“There is alarm,” said Lincoln, director of the Portland-based nonprofit, State of the Salmon, which organized the conference.

“The question is, do you need to see the results of the inevitable to see the collaboration that nations need to take?”

Five billion hatchery fish are pumped into the northern Pacific yearly and account for as much as 90 percent of the young fish entering the ocean. Almost the entire Japanese fishery comes from hatcheries, and the percentage is rising from Alaska to California. The Columbia River

basin relies heavily on hatchery fish, especially chinook.

And regions that still have fairly healthy wild runs — the Gulf of Alaska and Russia’s Sea of Okhotsk — are being overfished, said Peter Rand, a conservation biologist with State of the Salmon.

“Salmon are going to need every chance they can get to make it in these environments,” Rand said.

A report by Oregon State University last year showed that hatchery fish can cause genetic problems in their wildborn cousins, so that even fish that survive to reproduce in the wild have fewer offspring.

Lincoln said he hoped the conference would produce policy recommendations for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees recovery for endangered salmon species on the Pacific coast. Possible recommendations could include a stronger effort to keep hatchery fish separate from wild salmon in spawning streams and reducing the number of wild salmon caught in fisheries.

“We have the opportunity to address things now,” Lincoln said. “There isn’t a magic or easy answers. But there’s a way to look at costs and benefits together.”

O B La Grande police Portland carjacker wore unique disguise and fire forgo raises PORTLAND — Police say a car stolen by a man in a top hat from a southeast Portland grocery store parking lot has been recovered in nearby Clackamas County. Portland police Detective Mary Wheat said Tuesday a man was taken into custody after a chase.

Wheat says what appears to be a replica or toy gun was recovered. Clackamas County sheriff’s Detective Jim Strovink says 40-year-old Donald Wade Evanger was lodged in the county jail.

In addition to the top hat, the man who took the car Monday night was described as wearing a woman’s black wig, black jacket and Mardi Gras beads.

LA GRANDE — Workers in the police and fire departments will forgo raises to help the city of La Grande deal with its budget shortfall, The union representing fire department personnel agreed to have step increases frozen through June 2011. After that date, increases will be awarded on an employee’s anniversary date.

The union also agreed to a zero cost-of-living increase through June 2011.

— From wire reports

I am Dr. David Herrin, DC. I run the only Non-Surgical Decompression Center of its kind in Central Oregon.

I see people reduce pain medications, avoid surgery, and get their life back -- every day... and all that without surgery. Yes, you heard me right. I specialize in disc degeneration, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.

Discover What The Pro Athletes Are Using To Get Out Of Pain -- Without Surgery If you haven’t heard of non-surgical decompression yet, it’s a shame.

People all over the country are embracing this therapy. There are PGA pros, professional football players, and people just like you getting back to their old self -- Fast!

Here is the “conventional” procedure for back pain patients. “Take these drugs and get some rest. Let’s see what happens in a month.” When that doesn’t work there’s always the option of getting a needle filled with steroids placed directly into your back. Down the road when it’s finally bad enough you may need surgery. This might seem like a good plan for some. I work with those who want to get their old life back without going under the knife.

If you have fallen for that trap and are in desperate need of relief of back pain, you should read on.

Forgive Me For Expressing My Opinion About Surgery -- I Hated

To See My Grandma Suffer How many surgeries does it take to get it right? Two, three, four ... my sweet Grandma had seven before it was a success. Talk about suffering. Maybe you see why I believe surgery should be a last resort. Do you have that kind of time?

I have a better solution. People in my office get out of pain fast, and can be back doing the things they love while they are being treated.

And you don’t have to feel like you are a drug addict to feel good.

The New Solution -- Fast And Long-Lasting Relief We have a non-surgical, non-drug solution. And it’s fast and effective.

It’s called non-surgical spinal decompression. Let me give you the low down on this groundbreaking technology.

This is a computerized decompression machine that stretches the spine in a unique way.

It creates negative pressure deep in the diseased disc. The negative pressure acts like a vacuum that pulls the disc material away from the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Eliminating pain and symptoms.

And at the same time the negative pressure pulls nutrients, water and oxygen into the disc. You see with disc diseases, the disc is actually sick! It’s dehydrated. And shrinking.

That is how many of our patients regain their life.

Do Any Of These Case Studies Sound Familiar To You? Case #125. Darlene D. After her surgery she was left in some serious pain. This pain lasted 32 years. She came in to us and in three weeks she was out of pain. In five weeks she was on her roof working with her husband.

Do you see what we can do for you?

We are offering a solution to your pain. To get your life back, FAST! Case #89. Bruce F. After a traumatic car accident, Bruce was left in pain.

He went here and there but didn’t find relief. So he came to see us.

The treatments were painless. He got out of pain. He now runs, walks the beach, and plays with his kid.

All without pain.

Does your current therapy offer you this kind of relief? What are you waiting for?

Case #320. John M.’s MRI said, “Annular Tear,” Ouch! His episodes of pain put him on his back for two weeks every couple months. He began treatment and his pain decreased almost immediately. Over the course of treatment his back felt stronger and more flexible. No episodes to this day.

Do you want to improve the quality of your life? Are your current therapies doing that for you?

Case #25. Kevin. Headaches every day of his life since an accident.

Headaches gone after first treatment.

Peace could be defined as finding a solution to a problem that has you feeling completely crazy. Imagine how Kevin must have felt, and how he feels now!

You don’t need a referral to see me.

In fact, I want all to come and see me. You are invited to be evaluated by me. I will cover the cost. There is a catch -- you have to qualify. You see, I will not take anyone. I will only treat those I can help.

Don’t Delay Your Pain Relief Come And See If You’re A Good Candidate To Eliminate Your Pain This examination typically costs $245. Right now you can get it for free. That is -- if you qualify. Call now to see if you qualify for this exclusive evaluation.

It is a great opportunity to be evaluated by a spinal expert.

It’s A Free Consultation This is what you will discover during your free consultation... ? Why you’re in so much pain? ... You’ll actually get a diagnosis that makes sense. ? How long it will take to get you better? ... It’s less time than you think.

Leave ballot titles to the AG’s office

T

he Oregon Legislature, like most government institutions, probably doesn’t appear on a lot of “most admired” lists these days. Changing public opinion won’t be easy. Fortu-

nately, all big jobs have their share of low-hanging fruit, and Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, has spotlighted an apple even the shortest lawmaker could pick with his — or her — toes.

The problem is the Legislature’s habit of writing the ballot titles for its own referrals. The default position “has always been that the Legislature does nothing,” thus allowing the attorney general’s office to write ballot titles, says Don Hamilton, spokesman for the secretary of state’s office. But that has changed.

More common than not over the past decade, says Hamilton, lawmakers have done the job themselves.

Recent examples include Measures 66 and 67, which voters approved earlier this year, and Measures 68 and 69, which appear on the May 18 ballot. The Legislature, meanwhile, has produced the titles for all three referrals scheduled to appear on November’s ballot, says Hamilton.

Legislative referrals are often good policy. Nevertheless, it’s a conflict for the same group to produce both the policies and the titles, which are all many people read before casting their votes. By indulging themselves anyway, lawmakers have encouraged critics, who accuse them — as Whitsett has — of “jerry-rigging ballot titles.”

Even worse: The critics are occasionally right.

Earlier this year, the Legislature sent a constitutional amendment to the November ballot. Senate Joint Resolution 48 would authorize the state to finance certain kinds of projects with general obligation bonds. The Legislature also wrote the ballot title, which it tacked onto the end of another bill. The title includes the results of a “yes” vote and “no” vote, a summary of the measure and a caption. Whitsett challenged all of them, and the Supreme Court

late last month validated some of his concerns.

The section of the constitution SJR 48 would amend limits on state indebtedness. The purpose of this section, as the Supreme Court wrote in 1989, is to protect future generations, which “should not be saddled with the excessive undertakings of an imprudent legislature.”

Were the state forced to use tax revenue to repay a debt it had backed, that revenue wouldn’t be available for other uses.

You know, like schools.

Thus, approving SJR 48 carries some risk, which, the court ruled, the Legislature’s ballot title virtually ignores: “The referred measure, if adopted, would alter state borrowing practices in a way that would impact the ability of future legislatures to utilize tax revenues to deal with new fiscal and policy problems.

That policy choice may or may not be an appropriate one, but it certainly is one that must be acknowledged. The present ballot title does not do that.”

The self-serving behavior of the Legislature has the feel of a Wall Street stereotype. Lawmakers have created a mechanism to raise a lot of low-cost money. To sell voters on it, meanwhile, they’ve produced a ballot title that’s long on the mechanism’s benefits and virtually silent about its risks. No wonder so many people distrust Salem.

The solution is as simple as it is obvious: Knock it off. Lawmakers should leave the production of ballot titles to the attorney general’s office, which is far more likely to demonstrate the objectivity voters deserve. It’s also far more likely to create the credibility lawmakers — and the public — desire.

Why the secrecy?

Y ou may wonder why anyone cares about a contract between the University of Oregon and athletic-wear giant Nike. If so, think back to the secrecy surrounding the departure of the school’s athletic director, Mike Bellotti.

Bellotti left UO to take a job with ESPN, the sports network. He was given a $2.3 million check on the way out the door, a move that drew considerable attention around the state.

The decision to pay was made by UO President Richard Lariviere, who discovered while looking into the matter that there was no written contract between Bellotti and the university.

As for the school’s contract with Nike, it is in writing. Previously, meanwhile, the school had made it public when asked. But this year it demurred, releasing to The Oregonian newspaper a copy of the new contract with many numbers blacked out. The school argued that such things as the

price paid by Nike to be the university’s sole supplier of athletic apparel are trade secrets.

Oregon Attorney General John Kroger disagreed. His office wrote, “Regardless of whether the requested information could qualify as a trade secret, we conclude that the public interest requires the disclosure of the price at which UO agreed to confer various marketing rights to Nike.”

Not long after, the full contract was released.

It didn’t show anything extraordinary, according to The Oregonian, thus calling into question the university’s desire for secrecy. Nevertheless, when a public university becomes a marketing tool for a major corporation, the public deserves to know the terms.

The episode is a good start to Kroger’s effort to make public institutions operate more transparently.

My Nickel’s Worth Ashby went negative I attended the judges forum to get a better feel for the two candidates running for Judge Perkins’ seat. I work with a consortium of attorneys in Bend providing indigent defense and, until recently, Thomas Hill was one of them.

But I did not know candidate Wells Ashby and wanted to find out “the cut of his cloth.”

I learned Mr. Ashby worked in a youth center, volunteers on the school board, is a prosecutor and has criminal and superior court experience. Mr. Hill worked up the ranks as a police officer putting his life on the line daily while putting himself through school and worked both sides of the aisle as a prosecutor and a defense attorney, has handled many civil, criminal, family law and superior court cases. Both are invested in the community and seem to care about what happens here.

Both candidates agreed to run only positive campaigns. My “rosy-colored glasses” view is to hear their own merits/what they’ll do for a community and a perfect race is one where, if someone goes negative, he/she is immediately disqualified. Unfortunately, at evening’s end during Q and A, Mr. Ashby took a little stab at Mr. Hill. So much for the gentleman’s agreement of only a positive campaign.

If a candidate doesn’t honor his word, can voters trust him to be impartial, not opine/predetermine a case without first hearing all of its merits and, despite how distasteful a case is, rule without any bias strictly according to the law?

19th Street Regarding The Bulletin’s article “County OKs 19th Street project:” This project is expected to cost the taxpayers of Deschutes County $8.7 million, and passed by a 2-to-1 vote with only Commissioner Tammy Baney voting no.

Redmond Mayor George Endicott supported the project, saying the road is crucial because developers might not be able to build in south Redmond without it. According to Commissioner Luke, an unnamed ODOT official is of the opinion that the project would allow more development at Juniper Ridge. Neither of these statements seems to be compelling.

Residents of nearby neighborhoods and a land use watchdog group have had complaints about how county officials seemed to already have made up their minds on the project.

These sound to me like lukewarm

justifications to commit hard-earned taxpayers dollars to a questionable project.

I say, let those who might benefit from it pay for it.

James Kester La Pine

Prioritize In regard to the April 23 Bulletin article “Rainy day fund gets $535,716 boost,” I can’t imagine our city officials opting to spend $250,000 to “improve” the parking garage’s first floor suites. Let the tenants improve them to their liking.

Another $25,000 for the Bend Beautification Program, $13,000 for a “public safety survey” (duh — we already know the police and fire are underfunded — why another expensive survey?).

Recently a house burned down because the fire department, short staffed, was unable to answer the call in a timely manner.

For heaven’s sake, give the fire and the police the funding they need without another survey. Aren’t these two departments more needed than, say, improving the shops in the parking garage? Come on, Bend Council, in this economy prioritize spending rather than acting like kids in a candy store!

The effects of government policies are surprisingly modest

R

oughly a century ago, many Swedes immigrated to America. They’ve done very well here. Only about 6.7 percent of Swedish-Americans live in poverty. Also a century ago, many Swedes decided to remain in Sweden. They’ve done well there, too. When two economists calculated Swedish poverty rates according to the American standard, they found that 6.7 percent of the Swedes in Sweden were living in poverty.

In other words, you had two groups with similar historical backgrounds living in entirely different political systems, and the poverty outcomes were the same.

A similar pattern applies to health care. In 1950, Swedes lived an average of 2.6 years longer than Americans.

Over the next half-century, Sweden and the U.S. diverged politically. Sweden built a large welfare state with a national health service, while the U.S. did not. The result? There was basically no change in the life expectancy gap.

Swedes now live 2.7 years longer.

Again, huge policy differences. Not huge outcome differences.

This is not to say that policy choices are meaningless. But we should be re-

alistic about them. The influence of politics and policy is usually swamped by the influence of culture, ethnicity, psychology and a dozen other factors.

You can observe the same phenomenon when looking within the U.S. Last week, the American Human Development Project came out with its “A Century Apart” survey of life in the United States. As you’d expect, ethnicity correlates to huge differences in how people live. Nationally, 50 percent of AsianAmerican adults have a college degree, compared with 31 percent of whites, 17 percent of African-Americans and 13 percent of Hispanics.

Asian-Americans have a life expectancy of 87 years compared with 79 years for whites and 73 years for African-Americans.

Even in struggling parts of the country, Asian-Americans do well. In Michigan, for example, the Asian-American life expectancy is 90, while for the average white person it’s 79 and for the average African-American it’s 73. Income and education levels are also much higher.

The region you live in also makes a gigantic difference in how you will live.

There are certain high-trust regions

DAVID BROOKS where highly educated people congregate, producing positive feedback loops of good culture and good human capital programs. This mostly happens in the northeastern states like New Jersey and Connecticut. There are other regions with low social trust, low education levels and negative feedback loops.

This mostly happens in southern states like Arkansas and West Virginia.

If you combine the influence of ethnicity and region, you get astounding lifestyle gaps. The average AsianAmerican in New Jersey lives an amazing 26 years longer and is 11 times more likely to have a graduate degree than the average American Indian in South Dakota.

When you try to account for life outcome differences this gigantic, you find yourself beyond narrow economic incentives and in the murky world of

social capital. What matters are historical experiences, cultural attitudes, child-rearing practices, family formation patterns, expectations about the future, work ethics and the quality of social bonds.

Researchers have tried to disaggregate the influence of these soft factors and have found it nearly impossible.

All we can say for sure is that different psychological, cultural and social factors combine in myriad ways to produce different viewpoints. As a result of these different viewpoints, the average behavior is different between different ethnic and geographic groups, leading to different life outcomes.

It is very hard for policy makers to use money to directly alter these viewpoints. In her book, “What Money Can’t Buy,” Susan E. Mayer of the University of Chicago calculated what would happen if you could double the income of the poorest Americans. The results would be disappointingly small. Doubling parental income would barely reduce dropout rates of the children.

It would have a small effect on reducing teen pregnancy. It would barely improve child outcomes overall.

So when we’re arguing about politics,

we should be aware of how policy fits into the larger scheme of cultural and social influences. Bad policy can decimate the social fabric, but good policy can only modestly improve it.

Therefore, the first rule of policymaking should be, don’t promulgate a policy that will destroy social bonds.

If you take tribes of people, exile them from their homelands and ship them to strange, arid lands, you’re going to produce bad outcomes for generations.

Second, try to establish basic security.

If the government can establish a basic level of economic and physical security, people may create a culture of achievement — if you’re lucky. Third, try to use policy to strengthen relationships.

The best policies, like good preschool and military service, fortify emotional bonds.

Finally, we should all probably calm down about politics. Most of the proposals we argue about so ferociously will have only marginal effects on how we live, especially compared with the ethnic, regional and social differences that we so studiously ignore.

Shelter Continued from C1 The next step will be for the shelter and the county to negotiate a lease agreement. The Bethlehem Inn has not paid the county or city rent since moving into its building. Kanner and Wysling said they did not know whether the shelter might pay rent under the future lease.

Deschutes County and the city of Bend purchased the former Econo Lodge Motel building in northeast Bend back in 2007, so the Bethlehem Inn could move from its former location at the work-release center at the county jail.

Under an agreement made at the time, the city supplied the down payment of $250,000, and the county shelled out the rest of the $2.5 million purchase price. The cost was supposed to be repaid through a Community Development Block Grant, which could have been up to $800,000, and a major fundraising campaign the Bethlehem Inn planned to undertake.

But after the city, county and shelter reached this agreement, the federal government changed the criteria for block grants to favor permanent housing for homeless people over shelters, and the county

could not secure the grant.

To pay for the Bethlehem Inn building, the county essentially took a loan from other county funds and has to charge itself interest each month, County Treasurer Marty Wynne has said.

Kanner said that after a twoyear lease with the homeless shelter expires, there may be other uses for the building that could generate income for the county, although he declined to specify what those might be.

Wysling said the Bethlehem Inn’s board of directors hired her this week, and she served on the board for 1 1/2 years before making the move to director. The job is full time, and Wysling said she previously worked in human resources for two decades.

The shelter has operated without an executive director since July 2008, when its board of directors decided to eliminate the position because it was running out of money. Former Executive Director Sandra Mears was hired in April 2007 and when her contract expired in July 2008, the board did not renew it.

“We are in better financial shape now,” Wysling said Wednesday.

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet

Voting Continued from C1 Wyden and Brown each referenced the state’s draconian penalties for forging a signature on someone else’s ballot as proof that Oregon takes the issue seriously. Brown used the recent example of an immigrant man in Josephine County who illegally registered his 14-year-old brother to vote. The fraud was discovered, the man convicted of four felonies and deported, Brown said.

Brown also touted the state’s upcoming system to let voters track their ballots online, which will debut this November. Overall, voting by mail cuts costs for election offices and makes it easier for seniors and people in rural areas to cast their ballots, she said.

“It’s easier for folks living in rural Oregon, miles away from the elections office to drop a ballot in the mailbox,” Brown said.

Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, of Kansas, said he loves his state’s absentee vote by mail system, but he’s wary about forcing other states to adopt the practice.

“I’m not too eager to superimpose that by federal fiat on the 22 states that do not,” allow

City code Continued from C1 Impersonating a city official would be banned under the proposed code. Stell said the change came about in part due to a handful of security companies that have issued parking tickets to vehicles parked on private property while wearing uniforms similar to those worn by Bend Police. The Oregon attorney general has ruled that ticketing vehicles parked in private parking lots is illegal, Stell said, and the city intends to issue a cease and desist order to

vote by mail, Roberts said.

Allowing vote by mail raises the chance that a voter can be pressured while filling out a ballot, testified John Fortier, of the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

“Once that ballot has left the poling place, it is out there for potentially someone to see,” Fortier said. “If you go to a polling place you may have all the pressures in the world but ultimately you pull the curtain behind you and vote how you like.”

Fortier recommended that states extend early voting at polling places as an alternate way to make voting more convenient.

Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., praised Wyden’s incessant cheerleading of the issue.

“I probably, a minimum of 25 times, have heard Senator Wyden tell the Democratic caucus about what a great idea vote by mail is and how well it works,” Schumer said.

The bills, and a companion set of bills in the U.S. House, now need to pass out of committee and receive votes before both chambers of Congress.

any company observed violating the law.

Some issues addressed in current city code would be handed off to the Bend Park & Recreation District, such as the suitability of allowing horses in parks, and which parks should allow alcohol.

The code changes would include a ban on feeding wildlife within the city, a provision the Bend Park & Recreation District has requested as part of its effort to control the Canada geese population.

Malcolm Donald (Mac) Sinclair March 20, 1913 – April 23, 2010 Malcolm Donald (Mac) Sinclair of Prineville passed away at age 97, April 23, 2010.

A Celebration of Life for Mac Sinclair will be held at the First Baptist Church in Prineville, Oregon, Saturday, May 8, at 2 p.m.

Mac was born March 20, 1913, in Kalispell, Montana to Norman Alexander and Ethel Mercedes Getchell Sinclair. He spent most of his early days riding bareback on a horse through the forests in search of game for meals. Mac learned to be self-reliant at a very early age and grew up believing that there are no problems, just challenges to be solved. This legacy is going to be a great one to follow. Mac married his high school sweetheart, Maurine Rogers on June 15, 1935, in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Maurine was the love of his life for 82 yrs.

Mac lived a happy life full of adventures and challenges, with the satisfaction of helping many people. As a young man of the Great Depression, he worked very hard to provide for his family, beginning in grade school. Mac began his working life and his work ethic at the age of eight as a livery hand. He progressed to harvesting crops, then on to mill worker, the U.S. Postal Service, farmer.

He designed, sold and installed irrigation systems. He was a service station owner /operator, co-owner of the Ochoco Feed and Farm Supply in Prineville, and of the Red Cloud Ranch in Powell Butte. A founding member of the Juniper Canyon flood control, and a founding member of Ochoco Federal Credit Union in Prineville. Along with Maurine, he owned and operated M&M Realty in Prineville. He gave up the brokerage side when he was 80, but continued to sell real estate well into his late eighties.

He and Maurine loved to travel, and one of their biggest trips was to the “homeland” Scotland to visit Sinclair castles. A great outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman, Mac prided himself on keeping the freezer full of game and fish. He never went anywhere without his fishing pole. One of his fond memories was a successful Canadian moose hunt. His final hunting trip was in Gilchrist for elk with his great-grandson at the age of 88.

When Mac was not working, he found time to take a shovel and help build Walton Lake in the Ochoco Mountains. He and Maurine spent many happy days over the years camping with grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the lake. He was the last founding member of Kiwanis in Prineville and a member of the Crook County Historical Society for almost 3 decades. He enjoyed helping with fund-raising for many local projects. He also helped design and build the First Baptist Church building in Prineville, where they were very active in the church. He and Maurine belonged to a photography club, and Mac acted as the Photography Superintendent at the Crook County Fair open class for many years. They also delivered Meals on Wheels and hosted an XYZ club until they were 85.

Their faith and commitment to helping people were cornerstones to the life Mac and Maurine shared. Many people have told the family recently about how they were touched, and often their lives were changed, by knowing them. Mac did not preach his faith; he simply lived according to his beliefs. Mac truly enjoyed his many friends and treasured time spent with them. We are grateful and want to thank all his caregivers and friends who made it possible for him to live out his final days at home. It was his greatest wish.

Mac Sinclair is survived by his sister, Fionna Perkins (Richard), Gualala, CA, and 3 daughters: Diane Davis, College Place, WA, Karel Pollard (Jerry), West Linn, OR, and Gayle Rush (Robb), Azalea, OR. Mac has 6 grandchildren: Sam Davis, Steve Sinclair (Teresa), Lea Rush (John Bartley, III), Tracy Thackery (Doug), Lisa Pollard and Lance Pollard (Miko). He has 5 great-grandchildren: Erica Bloom (Jon), Kelsey Sinclair, Christopher Sinclair, David Thackery and Jessica Thackery. He has 2 great-great-grandchildren: Jonica and Electra Bloom. He is also survived by his nieces and nephew, Sherrye Webster (Ron), Cindy Dunn (Gary), Heather Sinclair-Hinman (Gary) and John Sinclair. He was preceded in death by his wife, Maurine, his parents, his brother, Laughlin and his sister, Norma Sodaro.

Newspapers Continued from C1 So far, the staff has produced three newspapers, one each quarter. The newspaper will come out once more, in June, and Fox hopes to include a photo insert as well.

“It’s visible this year,” Fox said.

“There were kids who didn’t know we had a newspaper.”

Fox hopes that next fall the staff, which started the year with six students and has more than doubled in size, will grow larger, and students will be able to produce a larger newspaper with sections.

But that doesn’t mean it’s been easy to produce. Karen Rosch, the newspaper adviser, said in years past the school’s publications have raised between $16,000 and $18,000 in advertising for the newspaper and yearbook. This year, she said, they’ve come up $10,000 short of that annual fundraising goal.

As a result, the staff produced four issues instead of six.

Jen Edwards, 18, said the newspaper had such a hard time getting advertising this year the staff held a silent auction and a series of raffles to make up the difference.

“I personally think print is better for high school because it’s tangible. They can see it and physically hold it and see it. Online it’s just not as accessible. A lot of people didn’t even know we had the paper online.”

— Jen Edwards, 18, Summit High School student ine the school having to go to a purely online newspaper. But she’s hopeful that won’t happen.

“I can’t imagine it,” she said.

Kirsten Morrell, 17, plans to continue in the class at Summit next year. She believes there’s a market for the student newspaper online, but it often falls by the wayside in favor of the print edition.

“I think some people would prefer not to grab the paper and

carry it around,” she said. “But other people really do like seeing it all together.”

But classmates Liz Peoples, 16, and Jen think student newspapers are more suited to print.

“Online they’re not going to pay attention. Most of the stuff in a student newspaper they know what’s going on anyway,” Liz said. “They want to see the pictures and see who’s been written about.”

Jen agreed.

“I personally think print is better for high school because it’s tangible. They can see it and physically hold it and see it,” she said. “Online it’s just not as accessible. A lot of people didn’t even know we had the paper online.”

Rosch hopes that will change next year. She’ll be teaching a Web design class, and wants her newspaper staff to improve its website.

“We’ll have taped interviews and videos and music,” she said.

“It will be more like NPR, so students will interact with polls and ask for responses.”

It’s the way of the future, Rosch believes, and it’s also not as expensive. Above all, Rosch hopes schools here don’t cut back on journalism classes. At the na-

tional conference, Rosch heard of schools throughout the country, some with exceptional newspaper programs, that have been forced to fold.

“I think it’s really neat for kids to see their work published, and when they’ve got mistakes they hear it and learn from it,” Rosch said. “You have to edit this stuff to be in the public, versus just handing in a paper to a teacher and getting a C-, and you know you did crummy but you put it in the back of your binder. ... There’s a lot to be said for that.

“I think when students leave this class they’re better writers for it.”

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010

BASEBALL Bradley asks M’s for emotional help SEATTLE — Milton Bradley, baseball’s self-described bad guy, has asked his Seattle Mariners for help in dealing with what manager Don Wakamatsu says is “emotional stress” from personal issues.

Wakamatsu and general manager Milton Bradley Jack Zduriencik said Wednesday that their fiery slugger is out indefinitely until he receives an outside assessment and a plan to address his issues.

“It’s come to a head,” Zduriencik said.

A day earlier, Bradley became angry for striking out twice and Wakamatsu removed him from a close game in the sixth inning because the manager thought he wasn’t fit to play anymore.

Bradley left the stadium soon after. Several Mariners players described his mind set Tuesday night as “not good.”

Wednesday morning, Bradley called Wakamatsu to ask for a face-to-face meeting with him and Zduriencik.

The 32-year-old then arrived at Safeco Field and told the leaders of his eighth team in 10 seasons, “I need your help.”

It was a startling admission from a player who publicly blamed Chicago’s fans and media for running him out of that city following his failed season with the Cubs in 2009.

“The fact he has stood up and asked for us to help him, I think, is an extremely important step for him as a young man,” Zduriencik said.

Bradley is batting .214 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 21 games.

Wakamatsu called him in last month after he flipped off a fan during a game in Texas in the midst of a one-for-21 start. Also last month, the slumping slugger admitted to Wakamatsu he feels enormous pressure to produce in Seattle.

Seattle lost 8-3 to Tampa Bay on Wednesday night.

Panthers take top three spots in winning a 10-team tourney Bulletin staff report For the second time in three days, Landon Moore bested less-than ideal weather conditions to win a high school boys golf tournament.

The Redmond High senior posted a 2-underpar 70 at Broken Top Club on Wednesday, topping teammate Jared Lambert, who shot a 71.

The Panthers’ Andy Rodby gave Redmond a topthree sweep after ending the day with a 75.

The Panthers easily won the 10-team tournament hosted by Summit, defeating the runner-up Storm 302-333.

“The worse the weather the better the Panthers like it,” joked Redmond coach Ron Buerger. “We seem to separate ourselves from the competition when the weather gets bad.”

While Moore was hot on the front nine, shooting a 2-under 34, it was Lambert who ended the tournament on a tear, posting birdies on five of his final 10 holes.

For Moore, who also won the Crosswater/Lava Bear Invitational on Monday, it was the second time this season he shot under par.

“He’s got to be getting some looks with the scores he’s posting in tough conditions,” Buerger said about Moore catching the attention of college coaches.

Jesse Heinly paced second-place Summit with a 77, while Dylan Cramer shot an 82 and Jordan Schiemer recorded an 83 for the Storm. Summit sophomore Cole Ortega, who played as an individual and did not count toward the Storm’s team score, shot a 79.

Summit’s Intermountain Conference rival Pendleton finished the tournament in third, three strokes back of the Storm at 338. Crook County and Sisters tied for fourth at 353.

Chicago Blackhawks’ Dustin Byfuglien, second from right, celebrates one of his three goals.

The Bulletin

Hunter safety is once again at the forefront as the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will consider requiring Oregon hunters to wear bright-orange safety clothing while in the field.

Oregon is one of 10 states that does not require hunters to wear “blaze” orange; the requirement applies to hunters’ upper garments and hats.

According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, states where mandatory hunter-orange laws have

been enacted have reported a dramatic decrease in the number of vision-related (shooting) hunting incidents.

Brian Ferry, a Prineville-based wildlife biologist for the ODFW, said this week that one incident in particular prompted the commission to consider a mandatory hunter-orange law in Oregon.

Last December, a 15-year-old Salem boy was shot and killed by his uncle while the two were hunting cow elk near Grand Ronde in Western Oregon.

According to oregonlive.com, the teen was wearing camouflage when he was accidentally shot in the back by his uncle, who fired through some brush.

“There was a feeling that (blaze orange) might have prevented it,” Ferry said of the fatal mishap. “My sense is that that accident and the inquiries to the commission and legislature prompted this.

et others debate whether a Philadelphia policeman overreacted in taking down a rogue fan with a Taser.

Philly fans apparently couldn’t wait to see it happen again.

“Tase him!” some shouted as a copycat ran onto the field Tuesday night, only to be disappointed when he was corralled without the use of any weaponry or police.

That left Philadelphia’s finest still batting 1.000 at Citizens Bank Park. One fan Tased, one fan down, much to the amusement of many who watched it happen.

They’re not the only ones who got to share in the fun. Through TV and the Internet, millions got a chance to watch 17-year-old Steve Consalvi being zapped in the back by 50,000 volts on the losing end of the Taser.

As a moment in Taser history, the video rivaled that of a University of Florida student getting zapped in a 2007 outburst at an event with Sen. John Kerry. All it was missing was sound, though it’s not hard to imagine Consalvi saying the same thing Andrew Meyer shouted when he first saw what he was up against.

“Don’t Tase me, bro!” he famously yelled.

Funny stuff, indeed. Who needs the Philly Phanatic when you get this kind of entertainment for the cost of a ticket to the ballpark.

Really, though, Tasers? On a baseball field?

Have we reached the level of paranoia in this country that everything seems to be a dastardly threat, even a kid running onto a field?

Sure, what Consalvi did was wrong, though he’s hardly the first fan to make a fool out of himself by running onto a field. His mother even apologized for his actions, saying they were stupid.

Almost as stupid, though, was the cop who ran after him with the Taser.

Just why the officer decided it was necessary to bring a high school kid running around the field down with force isn’t exactly clear. Philadelphia’s police commissioner said the officer acted within department guidelines in using a Taser to stop a fleeing suspect.

In this case, though, the only thing Consalvi was suspected of doing was running on the field.

The only weapon he was waving was a towel.

Shake, rattle and troll for big lake trout T

he rap against lake trout is that they don’t fight. Or at least they don’t fight as hard as other fish. Mostly this comes from people who have never caught a lake trout, but there is some basis for the charge.

Throughout most of the fishing year — May through October — lake trout, also called mackinaw, are denizens of deep water.

As temperatures increase, they follow the kokanee down to 40, 50 or 60 feet and rest at 100 feet or deeper. Hook a fish at 130 feet and it may not fight all that hard as it changes its buoyancy on the way up.

Smack a mack between 20 feet and 40 feet down and you are in

GARY LEWIS for a battle. And they are big. A 20-pound lake trout can thrash your tackle. Think of what a big one could do.

These fish have teeth as big as a chinook, and the girth and weight to match. When we fished last June, with 50-pound main line and 25-pound leaders, we lost a fish that snapped the mono after a 10-second tussle.

Another charge against lake

trout is they are no good to eat.

The trouble is the fat from all that kokanee. Keep the fish fresh, skin it when you get back to the dock, trim off the belly fat, cut out the Vshaped dark gray along the lateral line and lake trout is good food.

My best advice is go fishing with someone who knows more than you do. I’m not ashamed to admit that all I know about lake trout and how to catch them comes from fishing guides, people like Dana Knepper, John Garrison, Andy Anderson, Jon Ditgen and Steve Kroll. This once-a-year lake trout fisherman has landed some nice fish thanks to what they have taught me.

Tennis • Federer wins on clay: Roger Federer captured his first singles win on clay this season, beating Bjorn Phau of Germany 6-3, 6-4 at the Estoril Open in Portugal on Wednesday. The world No. 1 conceded just 17 points on his service game as he rebounded from a first-round loss in Rome last week. Fourth-seeded Albert Montanes, the defending champion, ousted fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6-1, 6-2.

• Williams sisters advance: Top-ranked Serena Williams and older sister Venus each advanced to the quarterfinals at the Italian Open in Rome on Wednesday.

Serena Williams, in her first tournament in three months, defeated Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-2, 3-6, 6-0. Venus ousted Shahar Peer of Israel 6-3, 6-4. Both sisters are back from knee injuries and could meet in the semifinals. Second-ranked Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark lost her third-round match to Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez of Spain.

Basketball • Kobe leads NBA all-defensive team: Kobe Bryant is on the NBA all-defensive first team for the fifth straight year. Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo made the first team for the first time, earning the second-most points behind the league’s defensive player of the year, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace also made the team for the first time, with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James making it for the second straight year.

• Ainge comes clean in Cleveland towel incident: Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said on Wednesday that he regrets tossing a towel in the air to distract an opponent during a free throw attempt, calling himself “unprofessional” for doing so. “This is very simple, OK: I regret that. That was very unprofessional,” Ainge told WEEI-AM. “I was having fun with the hecklers and the crowd sitting around me. You know what, there’s just no excuse. It was unprofessional.” Ainge was caught by the TV broadcast of Monday night’s game in Cleveland throwing a towel in the air when Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson was at the line in the third quarter.

Boston led by 23 points at the time, and Hickson made the free throw anyway. The Celtics went on to win 104-86 to tie the best-of-seven series at one game apiece.

NHL ROUNDUP

Hat trick lifts ‘Hawks past Canucks The Associated Press VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Big Chicago forward Dustin Byfuglien banged in a pair of power-play rebounds and completed his hat trick in the third period to lift the Blackhawks to a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks and a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series on Wednesday night.

Kris Versteeg and Marian Hossa also scored, and Antti Niemi made 16 of his 31 saves in the first period. The Blackhawks picked up where they left off in Game 2 when they scored three goals in a third-period comeback win.

“We created lots of chances, especially lots of second and third chances,” Hossa said. “That’s how we score against Luongo. We just have to keep firing the puck at the net. We were shooting from bad angles and we know we have to go to the net and score those types of goals.”

Jannik Hansen and Alex Burrows scored and Roberto Luongo made 30 saves for the Canucks, who will try to even the series when they host Game 4 on Friday night.

To do it, Vancouver will have to do a better job on special teams and against Byfuglien.

The Canucks were zero for four on the power play and allowed two goals to Chicago in six times shorthanded. Byfuglien played a big role after being moved up from defense to play on the top line with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who had three assists.

But just like he did in last year’s series against Vancouver, the 6-foot-5, 257-pound Byfuglien took his usual position in front of the net on the power play and made the Canucks pay.

Versteeg, who scored the winning goal with 90 seconds left in Game 2, opened the scoring 5:19 in by banging in a loose puck that trickled behind Luongo.

Byfuglien then went to work in front of the Canucks goalie on the power play.

Pointless in his first eight playoff games, Byfuglien lifted in a power-play rebound with 3:13 left in the period after Toews won a faceoff cleanly. Luongo bobbled Duncan Keith’s unscreened shot from the point.

Hansen pulled the Canucks within a goal midway through the second, but Burrows took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty 2 minutes later. Byfuglien then lifted in another rebound after Toews drove to the net along the goal line. Byfuglien skated along the end boards with his arms raised and taunted the crowd after the goal.

Burrows made up for the undisciplined penalty

• Calif. lawmakers seek temporary ban on metal bats: A California legislative committee advanced a bill Wednesday that would place a two-year moratorium on the use of metal bats in high school baseball to allow for a safety review. Supporters said metal alloy and aluminum bats make baseballs travel faster and lead to more serious injuries. Opponents of the moratorium said wooden bats also are dangerous. The bill moved forward on the same day a 16-year-old pitcher for Marin Catholic High School, who was struck in the head by a line drive hit off an aluminum bat, was released from a rehabilitation hospital.

• Tebow’s jersey leads NFL sales: Tim Tebow already leads the NFL in one category: jersey sales. His Denver Broncos No. 15 was by far the most popular on the NFL’s website for April. His celebrity clearly trumps the debate over whether he’ll ever make it as an NFL quarterback after winning the Heisman Trophy and two national championships at Florida.

April’s No. 2 seller is an old quarterback on a new team: the Washington Redskins jersey of Donovan McNabb.

• Saints, lineman agree to huge deal: Once a fourth-round draft choice out of Division II Bloomsburg, Jahri Evans is now the highest-paid interior lineman in the NFL. The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints and Evans, who was both an All-Pro and Pro Bowler last season, agreed Wednesday on a seven-year contract worth nearly $57 million. A person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press the deal was for $56.7 million, with $19 million guaranteed.

Luongo kept the Canucks in it with a sensational stick save off Brian Campbell, but any hope of Vancouver adding to an NHL-leading 13 third-period comebacks ended when Hossa beat Shane O’Brien to a rebound for an easy goal at 7:45.

Byfuglien was back in the spotlight — and on top of Luongo — when he was credited with the final goal with 6:02 left. Luongo was in position to make the save before Byfuglien pushed him into the net, but the goal — originally given to Kane — was upheld after a video

• UCI expects more doping cases: Further improvements will be made in cycling’s biological passport program and more riders will be exposed as drug cheats, according to the International Cycling Union’s new anti-doping manager.

Francesca Rossi said the UCI plans to add steroid profiling next season to the current blood analysis which led to doping allegations this week against three riders.

“It’s the beginning of the story,” Rossi said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“I am sure that in time the procedure is improving and we are going to be faster when we have a case.”

Horse racing • Derby runner-up won’t run Preakness: Kentucky Derby runner-up Ice Box is skipping the Preakness. Trainer Nick Zito said Wednesday it’s more likely the 3year-old colt will be pointed to the Belmont instead. Ice Box finished a hard-charging second to Super Saver in last weekend’s Run for the Roses. Zito said the day after the race he was concerned that his horse might have trouble with the short twoweek turnaround between the first and second Triple Crown races.

La Pine softball takes Sky-Em win Some juicy topics ON TARGET

Bulletin staff report LA PINE — Sparked by a Becca Toepfer home run, La Pine knocked off Junction City 8-6 in Sky-Em League softball action Wednesday.

Toepfer’s fourth-inning blast, a two-run home run, proved the difference and led to the Hawks’ second league victory of the year.

La Pine led 2-0 after the first inning and tacked on five more runs in the fourth to take a 7-0 advantage, but the Tigers refused to quit.

Junction City scored its first run in the fifth inning and then went on a five-run tear — thanks in part to two home runs — in the sixth.

“The girls didn’t lose their heads,” noted La Pine coach Paul Holland. “They just kept playing good softball.”

The Hawks shut the Tigers down in the seventh inning to preserve their two-run lead.

Toepfer added a double to her homer and recorded three RBIs on the day. Becca Parrish contributed a triple and Kaylin Elms added a double for the Hawks, who are now 2-8 in Sky-Em play.

that can marinate over the summer

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — USC ended spring practice a year ago with Pete Carroll and Aaron Corp as the coach and quarterback, but things have changed: here, there and everywhere.

Carroll has since opted for riches and Corp, well, he opted for Richmond.

And the star of USC’s spring game on Saturday was ... Mitch Mustain.

A lot of scalp scratching can happen between college football seasons. Example: Lane Kiffin now graces the masthead at USC, while John Robinson is an assistant high school coach.

With Carroll no longer in town to take post-game exception, Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh recently signed off on a promotional 2010 ticket plan dubbed “What’s Your Deal?”

Bobby Bowden, after 34 years, is no longer Florida State’s coach.

Joe Paterno still coaches at Penn State, but no longer needs glasses after undergoing laser surgery.

Rich Rodriguez remains at Michigan, although the NCAA Infractions Committee may soon demand corrective lenses.

The Big Ten, already one-over par at 11, is thinking of expanding to 16, which may put the bulldozer to college’s conference landscape. Notre Dame remains a staunch football independent. Yet, if you recall, Ronald Reagan started out a staunch Democrat.

Some hot topics to keep fires burning until August:

1. USC Reggie Bush finally settled his uncivil case with Lloyd Lake, preventing potentially juicy deposition tidbits that may have been pertinent to USC keeping its 2004 national title. Bush held USC hostage to the end and reduced to “zilch” his chances of ever again getting a sideline pass.

The NCAA decision on USC athletics is expected any day now. When Alabama football got hammered for violations in the 1990s, and was banned from postseason play, the Crimson Tide got around it by scheduling a game at Hawaii.

USC opens next season at Hawaii.

2. Spring top 10 Listed in random order so as to not spoil our late-summer countdown to No. 1: Iowa, Texas Christian, Texas, Alabama, Boise State, Oregon, Nebraska, Ohio State, Florida, Virginia Tech.

3. Who do you (anti) trust?

Great timing: Big Wigs in Washington continue to contend the Bowl Championship Series is a monopoly that conspires to prevent mid-majors from competing for the national title.

Boise State, a mid-major, returns every starter but one off last year’s undefeated Fiesta Bowl champion.

The Broncos should start the season ranked in the top five, giving the team — what’s this? — a legitimate shot to contend for the national title.

We’ll know right away too, because Boise State opens Labor Day against Virginia Tech outside of Washington. (Someone save a seat for Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch.)

4. Are they quacks?

Led by quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, Oregon became the first team other than USC in eight seasons to claim the Pacific 10 Conference crown outright. Then came an off-season that should have been adjudicated

by Judge Judy.

Masoli was suspended for the 2010 season after copping a plea in a frat-house computer theft, and star running back LaMichael James must sit out the opener for off-field transgressions. All told, four Ducks were suspended and three others left the team for rules violations.

Yet Oregon still appears to be the Pac-10 team to beat.

5. Irish spring It took forever, but Notre Dame finally landed the right leader in Brian Kelly, a proven head coach (unlike Bob Davie and Charlie Weis) with a track record dating back to Grand Valley State.

Kelly, who led Cincinnati to the brink of a national title shot last year, is the do-over for the Irish not hiring Urban Meyer. Notre Dame breaks in a new quarterback, with Dayne Crist taking over for Jimmy Clausen. Kelly called the makeover at spring “the first coat of paint” on a program that could use a touch-up on those gold helmets. The Kelly era opens Sept. 4 against Purdue.

6. Sweet home All you need to know about the local devotion to Alabama: The defending national champions drew 91,312 for their spring game. That was only 3,594 fewer fans that saw Alabama’s 37-21 victory over Texas last January in the BCS title game.

Alabama will likely open next season at No.1, although the defense returns only two starters and the schedule is a brute, starting with a Sept. 11 visit to Tuscaloosa by Penn State.

7. Expansion This will be one of the most nerve-racking off seasons ever for conference administrators who anticipate the Big Ten’s next move. Expansion could have a profound ripple effect if the Big Ten goes really big and reduces the Big East to a Catholic schools basketball league.

8. Seminole moment Now we find out if Florida State is a program or the making of one man, Bobby Bowden. It’s the same question you can ask in basketball about Lute Olson and Arizona. USC, Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State may have cold periods, but they are inherently resilient because of their traditions. Bowden was Florida State, turning a former women’s college into a two-time national champion. Jimbo Fisher inherits a 7-6 team that last year ranked 108th in total defense.

AL ROUNDUP Rays 8, Mariners 3 SEATTLE — Matt Garza became the American League’s first five-game winner, Evan Longoria had the go-ahead hit in the eighth inning off Cliff Lee and Tampa Bay kept rolling with a victory over a Seattle team beset by issues. Garza allowed five hits in eight innings before Grant Balfour allowed a run in the ninth, and Ben Zobrist preserved a tie defensively before sparking the decisive rally for the Rays, who are 11-1 on the road. That’s the major league’s best start away from home since the 2003 Yankees also started 11-1.

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — When Ron Artest squeezed the ball and slowly set his feet behind the threepoint line, the Staples Center crowd grumbled and roiled with collective anxiety.

“Don’t do it, Ron!” somebody shouted earnestly from the lower bowl.

But Ron did it, launching yet another threepointer over a Utah defense that wasn’t exactly eager to stop him. The shot missed badly, just as six of Artest’s seven three-point attempts did in the Los Angeles Lakers’ fourth straight postseason victory Tuesday night.

With relentless defensive effort and pointless offensive play, Artest has been a mixed blessing during his first postseason with the Lakers, who took Wednesday off after winning the first two games of their second-round series with the Jazz. Game 3 is Saturday night in Salt Lake City.

The veteran defensive specialist and notorious fruitcake was the sole addition to last season’s NBA champions last fall. Yet even in May, it’s still too early to tell whether he has been a good fit in Hollywood.

“That’s going to be decided next month,” Artest said. “If we win a championship, then it’s a success. If we don’t, I should get the blame, because I’m the only new guy.”

Sure, Artest’s defensive work against NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant keyed Los Angeles’ first-round victory over Oklahoma City.

With an NFL tight end’s bulk and the speed to run with most forwards, Artest harassed Durant into 35 percent shooting.

Yet Artest’s comically inept three-point shooting in the postseason — seven for 42 so far, a slump that’s even affecting his layups at this point — and his ongoing education in the intricacies of the Lakers’ triangle offense are the main reasons the Staples Center crowd recoils in dread whenever he touches the ball in space.

“I could care less if I make a shot or not,” Artest said. “If I get back on defense, we win. I’ve just got to play my game. If 10 corner threes are available, I’ll take them. My defense is so unbelievable right now that I don’t care about the offense.”

Artest’s postseason shooting has been a long step down from the efforts of former Lakers forward Trevor Ariza, who signed with the Rockets in the offseason after declining the same contract offered to Artest in a disastrous attempt to land a bigger deal. Ariza also provided strong defense, but hit 47.6 percent of his three-pointers and scored 11.3 points per game during the playoffs.

Artest can’t throw it in the Pacific lately with his herky-jerky jumper. He even missed at least two layups in Game 2, barely connecting with the rim on one try. It won’t stop him from trying again Saturday night.

“When you’re playing hard for your team, getting out there and staying aggressive, it always works out,” Artest said.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson worried before the series that the Jazz didn’t have a scorer who matches up well with Artest. He has helped out on Deron Williams, Utah’s high-scoring point guard, but hasn’t been attached to one player.

“Ron knows he’s a big part of whatever success we have defensively,” said sixth man Lamar Odom, who played AAU ball with Artest during their New York youth. “He’s not guarding somebody like he did Durant, but he changes a game for other teams. They have to factor in Ron in everything they do, and that’s always a benefit for us.”

Artest’s first season in Los Angeles after signing a five-year, $33.5 million deal for the midlevel salary cap exception largely has been pretty much free of controversy.

Although the triangle offense can take years to master, the Lakers acknowledge Artest earnestly puts in the work to do it. He even went on a diet during the season, losing 15 pounds and improving his conditioning with frequent fivemile jogs in Beverly Hills, where he moved his family last summer.

Artest also started a career-best 77 games. His 11.4 points per game were his lowest scoring average since 2001-02 in Indiana, but he decreased his turnovers and improved his field goal percentage over last season with Houston while remaining a disruptive defensive force.

“Ron is a worker,” said Kobe Bryant, who butted heads with Artest in the postseason last summer. “He’s always trying to improve and help the team, and that’s why we wanted him here.”

SUMMARY

Stoudemire leads ‘Los Suns’ over Spurs Phoenix makes a statement on the court in taking a 2-0 series lead, and another one about Arizona’s anti-immigration law

By Bob Baum The Associated Press

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns took a stand, and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Los Suns ganaron. That means the Suns won.

Amare Stoudemire had 23 points and 11 rebounds, Channing Frye made five of six three-pointers, and Phoenix, wearing its orange “Los Suns” jerseys in part to protest Arizona’s new antiimmigration law, pulled away for a 110-102 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Steve Nash and Jason Richardson scored 19 points apiece and Grant Hill added 18 in a grind-it-out game played at the Spurs’ pace until the Suns started hitting three-pointers. After starting one of seven from long range, Phoenix made eight of its next 12.

Tim Duncan had 29 points and 10 rebounds and Richard Jefferson rebounded from a poor Game 1 with 18 points and 10 boards for San Antonio.

Tony Parker added 20 points for the Spurs.

The best-of-seven series shifts to San Antonio for Game 3 on Friday night.

“I have to say the impressive thing

Tase Continued from D1 And it wasn’t like he was fleeing anywhere. Fans who run onto the field are always caught, because there’s no real way to escape.

It’s an accepted part of the bargain in a cat-and-mouse game that occurs far more often than it should. Usually it involves a drunk fan or a dare, and before you know it someone not in uniform is racing around center field.

No one likes it, but the more beer they sell in the grandstands the more it seems to happen. It’s almost always innocuous, save the drunk father-and-son team who attacked Kansas City first base coach Tom Gamboa in 2002 in Chicago.

There’s another issue here aside from the use of the Taser, which even Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called “a big mistake.” It’s the idea of having armed police guard ballplayers in the first place.

Give Philadelphia police credit for raising it, even as they defended the Tasing itself.

“Should we be on the field at all? I think that’s what’s being looked at,” police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said. “I’m not sure we should be chasing people around the field.”

I was thinking along the same lines last month as I walked with the crowds following Tiger Woods at the Masters. Surrounding Woods were all sorts of security types, but what got my attention were the sheriff’s deputies with guns holstered on their hips walking the fairways with him.

The purpose of armed deputies, I’m sure, was to make people think twice about doing anything that might irritate Woods. But just what their marching orders were in the event of an incident, no one was saying.

Would they have Tased someone who got inside the ropes? Pulled their weapon

to me with the win was the team effort,” Nash said. “So many guys made plays for our team tonight, and I can’t remember really being a part of a team that’s had so many guys step up and play well.”

Manu Ginobili, guarded mainly by Hill, was two of eight from the field, including just one of two in the second half, but had 11 assists for San Antonio. Hill also made two big shots down the stretch.

“Grant Hill never ceases to amaze me,” Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said.

“There’s a 37-year-old — he hates when I say that. Here’s a guy who plays on our team that’s been in the league for a long, long time. He just does a good job. Everything we ask him to do, never complains. He’s always on the best perimeter player. He never complains.

He just plays. He’ll forever be my favorite player. He really will.”

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich singled out Frye.

“He might have had one that was open, but the rest were contested,” Popovich said. “When he does that, they’re very, very difficult to guard.”

The Spurs outshot Phoenix 51 percent to 42 percent but the Suns out-

rebounded taller San Antonio 49-37, 18-7 on the offensive boards. Stoudemire made just five of 16 shots but was 11 of 13 at the free-throw line. The Suns outscored the Spurs by 14 at the line, going 29 of 37 to San Antonio’s 15 of 22.

The score was nearly identical to Game 1, won by Phoenix 111-102.

There was almost no evidence in the loud arena of the storm stirred up on Tuesday when Suns owner Robert Sarver issued a statement saying the team would wear “Los Suns” on their jerseys, to celebrate diversity on Cinco de Mayo but also to protest the immigration bill passed by the Arizona legislature and signed by Gov.

Stoudemire scored six points and Hill made two free throws in an 8-1 spurt that put Phoenix ahead 103-92 with 3:34 to play and San Antonio never recovered.

Everyone, of course, wants safe stadiums, and everyone wants to go to safe sporting events.

There’s a lot of fine security people around the country doing fine security work every day to make sure that happens.

They understand, like everyone else, that we live in a troubled world. It’s their job to try and ensure that there is no trouble.

Most of the time they succeed. And they do it without having weapons on the field.

According to the ODFW, wearing blaze orange would not negatively affect an upland bird hunt.

Blaze Continued from D1 They wanted to look at the root causes of the accident and what kinds of accidents like this have occurred.â&#x20AC;?

According to Corey Heath, a Bend-based wildlife biologist for the ODFW, concerns about vision-related hunting fatalities prompted the Fish and Wildlife Commission to request that ODFW staff research the issue and propose rule options for the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consideration. Heath was part of that research staff.

He noted that the ODFW has drafted five options for a hunter-orange plan, some of which would require hunters to wear blaze orange only when hunting big game, such as deer and elk, or upland game birds, such as pheasant, quail and grouse.

The requirements include an upper garment and hat, both with 360 degree visibility of hunter orange. One of the proposed options is to enact no new law and maintain the status quo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oregon is looking at the statistics relative to other states,â&#x20AC;?

Heath said this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oregon is already a very safe state to hunt in. But blaze orange certainly does help reduce (visionrelated) hunting accidents.â&#x20AC;?

The Oregon Hunters Association is opposed to requiring hunters to wear orange safety clothing. The group believes it is a matter of personal choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OHA encourages the voluntary use of hunter orange where it is not detrimental to hunting success,â&#x20AC;? said OHA state coordinator Duane Dungannon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waterfowl, bowhunting and predator hunting are examples where blaze orange would make your hunt an exercise in futility.â&#x20AC;?

Ferry said that wearing blaze orange while hunting waterfowl or turkey could negatively affect the hunt, because the birds would react to the orange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most species of birds are not colorblind, so the concern that they would react (to blaze orange) and make it much more difficult to hunt is well-founded,â&#x20AC;? Ferry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can make that case clearly for upland bird hunting. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to bait birds to come to you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turkey hunting (often with decoys to draw the birds close) is a different matter. They (turkeys) have VERY sensitive eyesight.â&#x20AC;?

Ferry added that big-game animals see shapes well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if you put (a hunter) in blaze orange,â&#x20AC;? he noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the animals see that no differently than if it was camouflage.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oregon is already a very safe state to hunt in. But blaze orange certainly does help reduce (visionrelated) hunting accidents.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Corey Heath, a Bend-based wildlife biologist for the ODFW While hunter orange should not affect big-game hunter success, it appears to reduce turkey-hunting success, according to an ODFW press release.

Most states do not require hunter orange for turkey or waterfowl hunting because those species have keen eyesight and would sense trouble at the sight of bright orange, according to the ODFW. The ODFW strongly encourages, but has never required, that hunters wear blaze orange while hunting.

An OHA poll of 1,000 members found that more than 70 percent opposed mandatory blaze orange clothing for biggame rifle hunts and upland bird hunts.

According to the ODFW, 21 hunting fatalities related to vision were reported in Oregon from 1990 to 2009, and none of the victims was wearing hunter orange.

Heath said that most of these types of accidents occur during big-game hunts with rifles or during upland-bird hunts with shotguns.

The commission will be briefed on the new rule options at a June 4 meeting in Salem, where it will decide whether to move forward with formal rule-making, according to the ODFW. If the commission decides to proceed, final rules regarding hunter orange would be considered at an Oct. 1 meeting in Bend, where 2011 biggame regulations will be set.

Members of the public can testify in person about mandatory hunter orange at the June and October commission meetings or at any of a series of statewide big-game meetings this month, including a meeting at Redmond High School next Tuesday (May 11), from 7 to 9 p.m.

Written comments about the proposals can also be e-mailed to odfw.comments@state.or.us or sent to ODFW Information and Education Division, 3406 Cherry Ave. N.E., Salem, OR 97303.

Continued from D1 Lake trout are not proper trout at all, but big char that thrive in deep, clean water.

Here in Oregon, the best lake trout water lies along the Cascades: Cultus, Crescent and Odell lakes. Deep, clean, cold Wallowa Lake harbors lakers in northeast Oregon. Where macks make their living on kokanee, they get big.

Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lake-trout fisheries were established in the early 1900s. A fish that tipped the scales at 40 pounds, 8 ounces, the current state record, was caught in Odell in 1984.

Wherever lake trout swim, the fish youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch will average between 3 and 15 pounds, but there is always a chance a big one will grab the bait.

Once a lake trout reaches a length of about 12 inches, it begins to gobble smaller fish. The rule to go by is that the predator will eat another fish up to one-third its own size. Hence, a 30-inch mack will eat a 10-inch kokanee or hatchery rainbow.

A school of 10-inch hatchery rainbows begins to look like so much bait. Which brings us to how to catch a lake trout.

You might get one from the bank early in the season, but the best fishing is over deeper water and most macks are caught by trollers.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need a boat. A downrigger system is a definite plus.

Rig up with medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting gear with 15- to 25-pound test line. Braided line is a good choice, because it

FISH REPORT

Big Lava Lake now open for angling Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Closed to angling through May 21. The reservoir will be restocked with catchable rainbow trout later this month.

BIG LAVA LAKE: Forest Service ramp at Big Lava Lake is open and there is some open water. The fishing should be good if one is able to get on the lake. Please check with the U.S. Forest Service Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Fort Rock or Lava Lake Resort for updated information on lake access.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Crane Prairie Reservoir is ice-free and accessible at Crane Prairie Resort, the USFS Crane Prairie Campground, Rock Creek Ramp and Quinn River ramp. For those anglers braving the wind and cold, the fishing has been great, with quite a few rainbow trout in the 5-pound range being caught as well as a good number of brook trout.

CRESCENT LAKE: Boat launching access to the lake is available at the Crescent Lake Lodge and the USFS boat launch at Crescent Lake Campground. There is currently good opportunity for lake trout, brown trout and kokanee.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Fish are rising to hatches during the noon hour; anglers are encouraged to use dry-fly techniques and strategies similar to those on larger rivers like the Deschutes. Redband trout are currently spawning in the river and the Crooked River Flyfishers have marked spawning redds. We ask anglers to avoid disturbing the substrate in these areas.

CULTUS LAKE: Cultus Lake is not boat accessible at this time.

EAST LAKE: East Lake is not yet accessible.

FALL RIVER: Fall River above the falls remains open to fly angling only. Probably the best fly fishing in the region right now with good hatches of bluewing olive, midges and tan caddis.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Spring is often the best time to fish for 12- to 18inch rainbow and brown trout in Haystack Reservoir. Trolling is the most effective method; however, bank anglers are often successful near the dam and fishing platform.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Trout fishing has improved over the last two weeks.

Several legal-sized bull trout (greater than 24 inches) have been caught, but most bull trout being reported are in the 16- to 20-inch range.

LITTLE LAVA LAKE: Little Lava lake is currently inaccessible due to snow conditions.

METOLIUS RIVER: Fishing has been up and down but is generally good.

There have been strong hatches of blue-wing olive and caddis, with a few March Browns as well. The mainstem Metolius upstream from Allingham Bridge is currently closed to angling.

NORTH TWIN: Recent angler reports indicate the fishing at North Twin has been good. North Twin is a great lake to take young kids to as there is a good beach shoreline, and it is protected from the wind. Look to catch rainbow trout in the 8- inch to 13- inch size range.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Shore fishing has been good between the boat ramp and the dam. Opportunities for 12- to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

ODELL LAKE: The water temperature is reported to be in the 40- to 41-degree range. Just on the cusp of getting in the range for good kokanee fishing.

Some anglers have seen success and things should be picking up directly.

Anglers targeting kokanee should get on the water early. Lake trout angling should also be good. Please note that all bull trout must be released unharmed.

PAULINA LAKE: Paulina Lake is ice-free with boat access currently at Paulina Lake Lodge.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers have reported catching larger trout than in recent years.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE: The opportunity for rainbow trout ranging from 8 inches to 10 inches is very good. Anglers are catching a few larger fish up to 20 inches. South Twin is a good lake for younger anglers as it has a good shoreline and is protected from the wind.

WALTON LAKE: The U.S. Forest service will be renovating the Walton Lake Campground and its surrounding roads throughout the summer of 2010. All access to the reservoir will be closed as a safety precaution to forest users. Please contact Ochoco National Forest at 541-416-6500 for more information.

WICKIUP RESERVOIR: Fishing has been fair, with some folks catching kokanee and others catching a few brown trout. Anglers after brown trout and kokanee should get on the water early.

being tied to the weight.

Knot the main line to a flasher system then tie on a four-foot leader terminated at the lure. Think big. An M-2 Flatfish, a J-Plug, a Shasta Matrix or a Mackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lure Cha Cha Squidder are good options. With the flashers and the bait you get the shake and rattle to troll up a gluttonous lake trout looking for an easy meal. Sweeten it with a nightcrawler and a liberal application of Smelly Jelly to start the scent trail that closes the deal.

Want to take a shot at a big mack? This stretch between mid-May and the end of June is a great time to hit the water.

If you want some on-the-job training, Odell Lake Resort is sponsoring a fishing derby on May 15. The entry fee is $100 and includes dinner.

Check-in starts May 14. Fishing begins an hour before sunrise. The derby ends with dinner and an award presentation at 7 p.m. To qualify, a mack must be at least 30 inches long. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 10 finishers, based on their biggest fish.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to kill a fish to compete.

Radio or call the lodge when you hook the big one and they will send a boat to check its length, its girth and its weight before you let it go.

FLY-TYING CORNER

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Stimulator, courtesy Camp Sherman Fly Shop.

As the water warms in late May and early June, salmonfly and golden stonefly nymphs crawl toward shore. These monster flies struggle up out of the water to dry their wings, perching in trees or in the tall streamside grass. Sometimes hanging out over the water, they fall in.

The migration stirs the taste buds of western river rainbows. Over the course of the next few weeks, trout that key on these golden mouthfuls grow as fat as footballs. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry-fly action you crave, timing is everything. You want to be

there when the clouds of flies are black against the sky. Your best bet is to find a local fly shop and check in every couple of days for a report. While you bide your time, try tying a handful of Stimulators.

Tie this version of the Stimulator with brown or black thread on a No. 6-12 long Daiichi 1280. Use dyed orange deer hair or moose mane for the tail and body.

Tie down the body with the thread segmented evenly then palmer the hackle, along the thread wraps. Use deer hair for the wing. Tie a deer hair bullet head and trim it tight. Finish the head with gray hackle.

Windy days may have delivered fresh blowdown

By David Jasper The Bulletin

It’s been a slow week for melting at high elevations, Chris Sabo, trails specialist for Deschutes National Forest, reported Wednesday. That’s good news for winter sports enthusiasts heading to Dutchman Flat Sno-park, just about the only place still accessible at this time for skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. All signs are still in place there, and Sabo asks that trail users respect closures.

Out on summer trails, Horse Butte, Phil’s and Deschutes River trails are in good shape, although Monday’s high winds have resulted in some fresh blowdown that may take some regular visitors to those trails by surprise.

Sabo put out word last week that this past winter had been light in terms of blowdown, “and here we get a blow that may have knocked down more trees than we had last winter,” Sabo said. In particular, there’s an uprooted tree whose roots ripped up the tread on the Deschutes River Trail upstream of Meadow Picnic Area, about a quarter mile upstream from the trailhead.

“We’ve got a temporary fix on that, and we’ll work on it more for next week,” Sabo said. “It’s pretty much in relatively safe condition right now. Folks will just need to make their way around it; it’s been flagged (with) a temporary, minor fix on it.” Bikers may need to walk their bikes around the trouble spot.

Newberry Crater is still snowed in, and for now, road access goes only as far as Paulina Lake Lodge, he said. All trails there are pretty much blocked except for Peter Skene Ogden Trail.

Lava River Cave and Lava Butte opened to visitors Wednesday.

In other news, plowing continues on state Highway 46, the Cascade Lakes Highway, with access open from the south until the cutoff at Lava Lakes. Progress has been hampered somewhat by the dense ice plowing crews have been encountering. Still, Sabo said, the highway should be open to traffic in time for Memorial Day weekend.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has begun plowing at state Highway 242, the McKenzie Highway.

It’s “open to bikers, but be aware of the plowing operations there,” Sabo cautioned.

Graying logs create a cascade of tiny falls along Whychus Creek south of Sisters.

t’s easy to get a little too hopeful in the spring.

Last week, I fell under the spell of a sunny day in Bend and thought I’d try my luck and head to higher ground in search of some waterfalls in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area. I’d been out that way before, and was looking forward to checking out the spring flow of Chush Falls, located less than 20 miles south of Sisters. The way the day turned out, I’m still looking forward to checking out the spring flow.

But my photo-junkie hiking buddy, Beckett Hills, and I were still hopeful at the beginning of the trip, so we loaded up with camera gear and dogs and headed to the Sisters Ranger Station and got a hiking guide packet, which included information on the falls. As we followed Elm Street out of town toward Three Creek Lake and campground, the sky was still blue. When we turned onto Forest Road 1514, a gravel road, we noticed a few snowflakes falling, despite the fact that we couldn’t see any clouds.

As the road climbed higher toward the mountains, small piles of snow appeared in the shade. As we turned onto Forest Road 600, which was more rock than gravel, we caught a peek of Whychus Creek running under a bridge near a parking area. We decided to keep heading toward the falls.

Klutzes reach out to lend woman a hand Dear Abby: “Just Clumsy in Amarillo” (March 24) could be my twin. I am also a klutz who bruises easily. Years ago, when I was a brand-new EMT, my arms were so bruised and purple from lifting stretchers that co-workers started asking if my husband was beating me. Luckily, my husband, a submariner, was on patrol at that time so it let him off the hook.

My husband used to tell me the only reason he didn’t worry too much about me at work was because I wore steel-toed boots, and he suggested I buy steel-toed flip-flops and slippers. I can walk through the house and trip over nothing at all. I once broke all the toes on one foot sliding off an exam table in a doctor’s office.

Tell “Clumsy” to hang in there.

She’s not alone. There are a lot of us klutzes out there and she’s in good company. As long as she can keep a sense of humor about her condition, she’ll be fine.

— Another Klutz In Utah Dear Another Klutz: I received many responses regarding being accident-prone. While many readers shared their “graceless” moments, others pointed out that it could be caused by a medical problem. Read on: Dear Abby: I have an inherited neuromuscular disorder called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, also known as CMT. It is also called motor sensory neuropathy or peroneal muscular atrophy.

CMT affects the peripheral nerves. A common symptom is short wide feet with very high arches, weak ankles, and tripping over our own feet. Falling UP the stairs is what we do best.

At family reunions, we sit around comparing our funny feet and the bruises from our frequent falls.

“Clumsy” should see a neurologist for nerve conduction testing.

The extent of her frequent “accidents” and bruising is not normal, and she needs to know what the problem is.

— Esther, An R.N. In Idaho

DEAR ABBY

The Betty boom

At 88, White is more golden than ever

By Chuck Barney

Dear Abby: You were right to tell “Clumsy” that she shouldn’t avoid her friends as that would only increase their suspicions. However, she also needs to include her fiance more in their social activities. If her friends get to know him and discover that he is a kind and compassionate person who respects boundaries and knows how to control his temper, their suspicions of abuse will be allayed.

— Carla In Virginia Dear Abby: I had bruises all over from bumping into things. At 45, I learned from an ophthalmologist that I had NO depth perception.

Now I understand why I must look down when stepping off curbs or drive five car lengths behind other cars, etc. “Clumsy” needs to get a thorough eye exam and have her depth perception measured.

— Made Sense Of It Dear Abby: I am 31 and have been clumsy all my life. I have fallen on ice a few times this winter, even though I tried to be very cautious. Thankfully, I have sustained only some bruises and a few pulled muscles — no broken bones.

I, too, have seen the looks, rolled eyes and heard the sighs of concerned friends. It’s hard not to become defensive when your friends might have a negative perception of your husband. I just smile and make playful reference to the fact that this has been going on far longer than I’ve known my husband.

To “Clumsy”: Drink plenty of milk to keep your bones strong, and maintain a lighthearted attitude when the subject comes up.

Contra Costa Times

Betty White gets a charge out of catching people off guard. So it should come as no surprise that she’d envision an offbeat opener for her highly anticipated hosting gig this weekend on “Saturday Night Live.”

“I would love it if they’d introduce me — ‘Here’s Betty White’ — and ... (then) nothing. No applause. No nothing,” she said. “The audience just stares back at me. That would be fun.”

Fun maybe, but not a bit realistic. The celebrated showbiz veteran is much more likely to be greeted with a thunderous ovation that threatens to blow the lid off Rockefeller Center’s Studio 8H. Such is the almighty power and glory of the Betty White love-fest these days.

At the tender age of 88, White finds herself in the midst of a pop-cultural renaissance that is stunningly out of step with our youth-obsessed times. It’s a resurgence fueled by hilarious film and TV roles, prestigious awards and a much talked-about Super Bowl commercial that ignited an impassioned Internet crusade to land her on “SNL.” Through it all, one thing has become clear: It is nearly impossible not to adore this saucy scene-stealer. As talkshow host Craig Ferguson recently told Entertainment Weekly, “To say, ‘I don’t like Betty White,’ is kind of like declaring that you’re a member of al-Qaida.” Yes, you’re either with her, or with the terrorists.

The ever-modest White seems genuinely flabbergasted by the outpouring of adulation.

‘SNL’ HOST: BETTY WHITE MUSICAL GUEST: JAY-Z When: 11:30 p.m. Saturday Where: NBC

The Betty file Five things you should know about Betty White: 1. She’s willing to do almost anything to get a laugh, but she won’t do drug humor. “I don’t like dope jokes,” she said. “I don’t think dope is a joke.”

2. She turned down “SNL” three times earlier in her career and is “scared to death” of the show.

“I’ve never been able to work from cue cards. I memorize everything or ad lib it,” she said.

3. In the 1950s and ’60s, she was known as the “First Lady of Game Shows,” thanks to frequent appearances on “Password,” “What’s My Line,” “To Tell the Truth” and others.

She even married a game-show host — “Password’s” Allen Ludden, who died in 1981.

4. She almost didn’t play Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls.”

After originally being offered the part of Blanche Devereaux, she switched roles with Rue McClanahan at the show’s first table read.

5. She is frequently asked if there is anything left in showbiz that she still wants to do.

Her standard answer: Robert Redford.

“It blows my mind,” she said in a conference call last week. “ ... I can’t get over, at my age, what all’s going on. All I can do is roll with the punches, enjoy it thoroughly, and be grateful for it.”

And we’re grateful for her. No matter what age you are, you’ve

probably experienced a Betty White moment. Or, more likely, a cavalcade of Betty White moments. She’s been around that long.

Soon after breaking into television at the dawn of the medium, White starred in the sitcom, “Life with Elizabeth,” for which she won the first of six Emmy Awards in 1952. In ensuing years, she made her mark on several variety and game shows.

Then came her two iconic roles: the man-hungry homemaker Sue Ann Nivens on the 1970s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and the sweetly naive Rose Nylund of “The Golden Girls.”

But even after “Girls” (1985-92) left the air — cable reruns continue to attract a new generation of fans — White never really went away. In recent years, she has guest starred in a slew of comedies and dramas, often playing the seemingly sweet elder who spews unexpectedly naughty or catty dialogue. She also did a stint on the soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

The current round of Bettymania began last summer with her turn as a feisty grandma who felt up Sandra Bullock’s breasts in “The Proposal” (“It’s like an Easter egg hunt!”). Then there was her bawdy speech at the SAG Awards, where she accepted a lifetime achievement honor and told the star-studded crowd in deadpan fashion, “I actually know many of you, have worked with quite a few. Maybe had a couple.”

But what really turned the buzz into a roar was the irreverent Snickers ad in which White was clobbered in a pickup football game. It was seen by a record number of Super Bowl viewers, including David Matthews, a 29-year-old San Antonio resident who instigated the “SNL” Facebook campaign that

Thanks to that push, she’ll be on hand Saturday for what is expected to be the highest-rated edition of “SNL” in years.

Melissa Camacho, a professor of television and media studies at San Francisco State University, insists that White’s mischievous willingness to go against the grain allows her to maintain her mojo.

“You look at Betty White, and you don’t see an age. She carries herself with a youthful spark,” she said. “And she’s not afraid to get in there and play. So often you hear older women, especially in Hollywood, criticize how things have changed. But instead of moping and criticizing, she rolls right along with the times.”

Beckett Hills For The Bulletin

Outing Continued from E1 As we progressed, we noticed more snow under the manzanitas and young ponderosa pines that lined the narrow road. Soon enough, the road was all packed snow. We still had about three miles to go to the Chush Falls trailhead, and the car we were in didn’t have the clearance — or the tires — to make it.

We decided to turn back and park near the bridge we’d seen earlier and take a stroll along the creek.

We checked out some information about the Whychus Creek Restoration Project posted near the unpaved parking area and saw that soon, dedicated trails would be coming to the area.

According to previous reports in The Bulletin, U.S. Congress designated the upper reaches of Whychus Creek as a Wild and Scenic River in 1988. Earlier this year, the U.S. Forest Service approved a plan to protect the geology, scenery and cultural resources of the creek and its banks — features the agency has identified as “outstandingly remarkable” for the area.

As we explored this designated scenic portion of the river, we found mostly a loose patchwork of paths among trees, and plenty of places to explore the banks of the shallow creek.

As we walked downstream near the water, more snowflakes began to fall, though they melted as soon as they touched the ground. Then, suddenly, the blue was sapped from the sky and we were caught in a white flurry that made us cinch our hoods around our faces.

But we weren’t really disappointed. We’d dressed in layers, and Beckett found the snow made for interesting photos.

We stopped to set up a tripod, trying to capture the effect of snowflakes falling on small pools of water near the creek. After snapping photos of the haze in the distance as the light snowfall obscured the tops of the pines along the creek, we decided to turn away from what looked like flat water farther downstream and head back upstream from where we were parked.

As we walked, the bank of the creek edged upward until we were on a bluff overlooking the creek. Just as quickly as it had arrived, the snow abated and the blue sky reappeared. We snapped more photos, then headed upstream again.

As we dropped back down beside the water, we wondered whether a small branch of the stream was being dammed as

If you go What: Whychus Creek Getting there: From Sisters, take Elm Street south for about 8 miles; the road will turn into Forest Road 16. Turn right onto the gravel Forest Road 1514 and continue 5.3 miles. Park near the bridge that crosses Whychus Creek.

When we approached, we saw a puddly bed where the creek appeared to have recently flowed, but which now served as a bridge to an island in the creek. On this day, it was an appealing place to explore. The ground on the island was strewn with pine needles, warming in the sun and beginning to put off a toasted pine scent.

As we followed the island upstream, we found it ended in a great snag of grayed logs. Dozens of old trees were splayed out across the creek with knots of roots and piles of rocks, creating a messy chandelier of small falls and pools spreading out across Whychus Creek. One log had split cleanly down the middle, letting a glassy sheet of water issue forth from the cleft.

I found a warm rock to sit on, perfect for studying the jigsaw bark of a mature ponderosa and the display of reflective pools and white tumbling water.

I looked at the cascading creek, my consolation prize for being unable to make it to the more substantial falls I’d intended to visit.

Not bad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 6, 2010: This year, you find a boss or someone you look up to to be confusing at worst and inspiring at best. Working together in a partnership could take more than just your effort. In frustration, some of you could decide to head in your own direction. If you are single, you move in a new direction and are likely to meet someone at a community event who is very different. Be aware of putting this person, or anyone, on a pedestal. If you are attached, share more of your frustration with the outside world.

AQUARIUS can demand a lot.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH If you encounter a stressful situation with an associate, think back to when this issue might have occurred before. You might have thought your message got through — it didn’t. Attempt to verbalize what you think clearly. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Pressure builds in an unprecedented manner. You could feel a bit out of sync with a situation that evolves.

A brainstorming session helps release your creativity, as you could be rather stifled. Tonight: Could be a late night.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might want to rethink

a matter that involves others and takes you to new heights.

Investigate options as they appear.

You’ll find that by focusing on the positive, a situation that often drags you down will open up.

Tonight: Take in new vistas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your ability to move forward depends on your negotiation style. Consider all the many options that might head your way. Consider what is happening behind the scenes with someone. A conversation is stifled. Tonight: Talk away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others often point to where you could lead or play a bigger role. You might be less inclined to spread yourself thin, though the decision is ultimately yours. New beginnings come from discussions.

Listen more. Brainstorm more.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could be tired and pushed beyond your normal limits. Watch a tendency to close down rather than say “no.”

Others make strange judgments if they just notice attitudes. Your creativity emerges when you detach. Tonight: Put your feet up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be out of kilter personally, but once you toss yourself into your work or a project, you are A-OK. Don’t allow pressure from a partner to push you one way or another with a key issue. Tonight: Acting like there is no tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be more

connected and interested in a personal matter. Perhaps you need to take some personal time off.

Fatigue marks your decisions right now. A meeting could be “weird.”

Don’t make any decisions yet.

Tonight: Happily going home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You nearly know what is going to happen before it does. You have a sense of being overwhelmed. You keep pushing very hard to accomplish your goals. A boss or someone you need to respond to proves to be most distracting.

Tonight: Dinner with friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You easily could be getting a partial perspective. Certain facts might be left out. The smart Goat will detach and attempt to see what might be off. Certainly, many of you will feel that a situation is too good to be true. Tonight: Treat time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You feel that a partnership is holding you back, as it did several years ago. You might wonder which is the best way to proceed.

Only you can decide. Discussions could have an off-the-wall quality to them. You feel pressured.

Tonight: Your night to howl.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Discussions might be difficult, to say the very least.

As you attempt to clear out a misunderstanding, you gain a new appreciation for the dynamics that you are dealing with. You don’t always have the right answer.

Tonight: Take some thinking time. © 2009 by King Features Syndicate

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010

Four years ago, Kelli Bach was a healthy and active working mother, but kidney failure changed her world completely.

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Kelli Bach works with physical therapist Craig Boswell at Therapeutic Associates in Bend. As Boswell put pressure on her hip, Bach began using Lamaze breathing techniques she learned to give birth to her now-teenage children.

LIFE INTERRUPTED Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series on Kelli Bach’s battle with kidney failure.

Next week: Bach becomes a one-woman marketing machine, trying to solicit kidney donors.

By Betsy Q. Cliff • The Bulletin

K

elli Bach refers to how it used to be, before she was diagnosed with kidney failure four years ago, as Former Life.

Former Life was full of promotions and big paychecks. In Former Life, the blunt, fast-talking 45-year-old Bend woman set up company call centers from scratch, walking into an empty warehouse and walking out with a fully staffed, M E D fully operational business.

Former Life earned Bach enough money to support her family, a husband and two children. Back then, her 8-year-old son, now 16, chose “aggressive” when asked to describe his mom for Mother’s Day. Bach still laughs about that one.

Then came the day in January 2006 when Bach, living in Billings, Mont., went in for a work-up for sleep apnea, her physician said.

The pulmonologist evaluating her case noticed a history of kidney troubles and ran blood tests to make sure she was in the clear. For 15 years, since she had a kidney removed in 1991, she had been. That night the pulmonologist called her at home.

“Your numbers don’t look good,” she remembers hearing. He scheduled an appointment with a kidney specialist, Dr. Heather

I

McGuire, the next day.

That was when Former Life came to an end.

McGuire diagnosed Bach with stage five kidney failure, McGuire said, meaning Bach’s kidneys had completely shut down. She needed dialysis and a kidney transplant.

“I completely fell apart,” Bach said.

In that instant, Bach became one C I N E of the more than half a million people in the United States with kidney failure. Not all cases happen as suddenly, but many are just as devastating, upending lives, derailing plans and sending patients into a life within the medical system.

“It was kind of a shock,” said her husband, who prefers that his name not be used for privacy reasons. “It was one of those things where you hear the words but the impact doesn’t hit you until you start getting into all the doctor visits and the other stuff that comes with it.”

Though the failure of Bach’s remaining kidney probably developed over a number of years, McGuire said, it likely happened so gradually that Bach never felt bad enough to have it checked out. “Because it happens over time, people just kind of adapt to how they feel.”

See Kidney / F5

How kidney dialysis works 1 Kidney function

The kidneys are two fist-size organs whose function is to remove excess waste and fluid from the blood.

When the kidneys are failing, dialysis is necessary to keep people feeling healthy.

Kidneys

2 Kidney dialysis

The most common form of kidney dialysis is called hemodialysis.

Blood is drawn and cycled through a dialysis machine, which mimics the function of the kidneys.

Hemodialysis is usually needed three times a week, and lasts 4 to 5 hours per treatment.

Blood removed for cleasing

Dialyzer filter

Cleansed blood returned to body

3 Filtering blood inside the dialyzer

During hemodialysis, blood and a dialysis fluid pass through a filter called a dialyzer. The filter membrane allows waste and excess fluid to pass through into the dialysis fluid, but not blood cells, which are too big. Wastes are removed with the dialysis fluid, and the cleansed blood travels back to the body.

Plan offers workers new health option SharedCare splits costs with company, community

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

Lower-wage workers caught between making too much to qualify for safety net health programs and not enough to be able to afford to buy insurance M O on their own may soon have a new option to secure coverage for themselves and their families in Central Oregon.

A regional collaborative this week launched SharedCare, a community health improvement plan that will provide afford-

able comprehensive health care benefits to previously uninsured workers, splitting the costs among employers, their employees and the community.

Eligible employees could pay N E Y as little as $49 a month for their coverage, with no deductibles and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

“This is not traditional health insurance,” said Alisha Hopper, executive director of HealthMatters, the Central Oregon collab-

orative behind the program. “This is a model program that provides small businesses with 50 or fewer employees with a comprehensive network of Central Oregon providers who have agreed to offer health care services at rates that allow for adequate reimbursement and affordable co-pays.”

SharedCare is modeled after the highlysuccessful AccessHealth, which has been operating in Muskegon County, Mich., for more than 10 years. The model is known as a multishare or three-share program because the costs are shared by the three parties involved.

I N S I D E Correction In a story headlined “Where’s a patient to go?” which appeared on Thursday, April 29, on Page F1, the price for an office visit at The Center NowCare was incorrect due to inaccurate information provided to The Bulletin. An office visit for a new patient begins at $170 and can be higher depending on the level of complexity of care the patient receives.

YOGA FOR SENIORS

EXERCISE TIPS

Aging doesn’t have to be a struggle

By Markian Hawryluk

Yoga for seniors

In photos on her website, Betty Eiler, 75, looks as spry as a schoolgirl, a testament to decades of practicing yoga. At an age when many seniors struggle to bend over to tie their shoes, Eiler can still contort herself in ways that would make people half her age wince.

But while Eiler can do the seemingly impossible, her message to seniors is solely about the achievable.

“People get discouraged because they get less mobile, then they get less mobile, then they get less mobile,” she said. “I think yoga just helps them realize that they don’t have to be that way.”

Eiler will hold an Aging with Grace workshop at the Athletic Club of Bend on May 20 (see “If you go”), focusing on ways that seniors can use simple yoga techniques to keep active well into their golden years.

Eiler, a Saratoga, Calif.-based instructor who conducts workshops across the country, has served as the model for two popular yoga and aging manuals. She didn’t find yoga till she was in her late forties. In the mid ’80s, she was a full-time executive and a mom of four, feeling strung out and stressed. She tried signing up for an aerobics class at a local community college, but when the class was full, she read about another class for stretching, strengthening and stress relief.

Unaware of what the class title, Yoga, meant, she registered for the class and found her calling.

When the local YMCA was going to cancel a full yoga class for lack of a teacher, she volunteered to teach the class and has been teaching yoga ever since. Eiler eventually trained in the Iyengar school of yoga, a tradition based on a slow, progressive series of movements designed to allow any individual to make incremental progress safely.

“It’s kind of meeting people where they are,” Eiler said. “The classes that I teach for the aging, anybody can go. There are people who are just in chairs. What I want to do is leave them with simple things that they can go home and do, maybe 10 minutes a day.

It’s just wanting them to feel their bodies and know that they can feel an improvement.”

Studies suggest that yoga can make a significant difference in the quality of life for seniors. Last year a study with 14 participants with an average age of 78 found that after a 12-week yoga class, older adults showed marked improvements in flexibility and a reduced fear of falling. A study by the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle found that yoga was more

COUNTER STRETCH Start with your hands shoulder-width apart resting on a counter or chair back.

Extending your upper body, position the legs under the hips to form half of a capital T. Press the front of your thighs backward and reach forward extending the sides of your chest. Keep your head level with your arms. This stretch is great for people who spend a lot of time sitting at their desks. It stretches backs of legs, lower back and shoulders.

effective at relieving back pain than conventional exercise. And a study at Temple University found that a course of Iyengar yoga helped to improve balance and stability in women over age 65.

Nadine Sims, the only local instructor certified in Iyengar yoga, said the form is particularly good for seniors because it accommodates their abilities, primarily with the use of props. Seniors can conduct poses against a wall, rather than in space. If they can’t sit flat on the floor because their hamstrings are too tight, they can sit on a couple of blankets.

“If we’re in this common pose called triangle pose and they can’t take their hand to the floor, they

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and one shoulder and hip touching the wall.

Swing your legs up the wall so you end up lying on your back, with your legs pointing straight up. It may be more comfortable to sit on a folded blanket as you do this. If this is too difficult for you, first practice lying on your back with your calves resting on a chair.

PROPER TECHNIQUE

TRIANGLE POSE Stand with your back at a wall and step your feet apart. Point your back foot forward, and keep your front foot parallel to the wall and in line with your back foot’s arch. Raise your arms to shoulder level, palms facing down. Keeping your legs straight, bend your torso sideways as a unit toward your front leg, keeping your arms in a straight line. If you can’t reach all the way to your foot, extend your hand to a block or a chair.

can’t put it on a block,” she said.

“If they can’t get their hand to the block, they can put their hand on the chair. If they can’t take it to the chair, they put a block on the chair.”

Iyengar also relies on a sequence of poses that help gradually move seniors towards more complicated poses. Instead of jumping straight into a sun salutation pose, which involves holding body weight on a wrist bent at 90 degrees, an Iyengar teacher may

start by having participants intertwine their fingers and stretch their arms high above their heads.

Some may only be able to round out their hands because of stiffness, while others may be able to bend their wrists a full 90 degrees.

“It’s without any weight, and it’s opening the shoulders and getting all this freedom in the sides of their trunks,” Sims said. “So it’s a very methodical, extremely carefully thought out sequence of poses that open the body in one class period, over many class periods, over years.”

Sims, who teaches yoga in a home-based studio on the West side of Bend, said yoga helps her older students with other activities in their lives. Those who play golf or tennis — sports known for creating imbalances due to their one-sided nature — rave about what the symmetrical approach of yoga does for their game.

And just about anybody can benefit, Sims said.

“We don’t expect the person to fit the pose,” she said. “We fit the pose to the person.”

M SharedCare

Next week Young people, and whether they buy health insurance, could be crucial to the success of reform.

SharedCare benefits

Continued from F1 In Central Oregon, the small businesses and employees will each kick in 30 percent of the costs, while the community accounts for the remainder. Initially, the community share funds are coming from a federal grant. Providers in the community, meanwhile, have agreed to treat SharedCare patients for a reduced fee.

Doctors and hospitals will be paid 12 percent more than Medicare pays for the services, but still substantially less than they are paid by private insurers.

SharedCare has already reached agreement with the Central Oregon Independent Practice Association, which represents the vast majority of physicians in the region, St. Charles Health System and Bend Memorial Clinic to join its network.

Employees will be eligible to enroll in the program only if 75 percent of the eligible workers enroll when their employer signs up. The plan is open only to businesses with fewer than 50 workers and whose workers have a median income of no more than $16 per hour. Employees who earn more, say a manager making $20 an hour, could still qualify as long as more than half of the employees make less than the $16 per hour limit. Participating companies must not have offered insurance to employees for a period of 12 months before joining.

“If someone can afford traditional insurance, we would suggest that they continue their insurance because it’s a much more comprehensive plan,” said Jessi Rawlings, SharedCare outreach coordinator. “This is not the silver bullet. It’s technically not even insurance.”

Clearing hurdles HealthMatters had been mulling various ways to help reduce the number of uninsured in the region but kept running into roadblocks because of the various mandates that insurance companies must meet.

“At every turn it was, ‘You can’t do this, you can’t do that,’” said Patrick O’Keefe, an insurance broker who was instrumental in developing the SharedCare plan.

“The effect was throwing the baby out with the bath water. If we can’t do everything, we can’t do anything.”

HealthMatters turned to the Oregon Legislature for help, penning a bill that would allow the state to certify three multi-share programs in the state. State Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, sponsored the bill and shepherded it to passage last year.

SharedCare will pave the way for another two multishare programs in the state off the same $2.4 million federal grant: one in Northeast Oregon this fall and another in Lane County next year.

SharedCare differs from insurance in a number of ways. It covers care only in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties, with no coverage outside Central Oregon. While it covers prescription drugs and preventive screenings, it does not cover contraceptives. Pregnancy is covered only if the woman does not qualify for the Oregon Health Plan. In some cases, services aren’t covered by SharedCare because they are available from other resources.

The plan also includes provisions intended to help members manage their health and avoid the need for high-cost care.

“There’s going to be more skin in the game for those who are enrolled,” said O’Keefe. “If they go to the emergency room, and it’s not an emergency, it’s not going to be covered.”

Members will be trained on such details in an initial orientation and required to go through an initial health assessment that will identify their health risks and put them in contact with services to help manage those.

O’Keefe said Michigan officials found that many of their members had never received health care in any place other than the emergency room.

Companies can choose to offer employees either one or two tiers of coverage. Under the standard option, the member pays $70 a month and faces higher co-pays.

But if the company chooses to offer the Health Improvement option, members could pay only $49 a month and cut their co-pays 40 percent to 50 percent by agreeing to more actively participate in the management of their care.

To stay in the lower cost tier, members would have to complete online learning modules chosen by the nurse care manager based on their health risks. Smokers would have to complete smoking cessation classes, although they wouldn’t be forced to quit. Members who don’t follow through will get bumped up to the higher cost tier if their employer offers it, or could lose their coverage altogether.

“They’ll get some warnings, but if they keep blatantly not doing it, it’s not something we’re going to let a lot of people slide on,” Rawlings said.

Central Oregon.

Not all companies will be eligible or choose to participate, and not all employees at those companies will sign up. SharedCare officials expect to find takers among the professional services, retail, food service and small manufacturing segments.

If they can get enough members, they hope to transition to a fully sustainable model that won’t be dependent on grant funding for survival.

The hope is that SharedCare

can lower the cost of uncompensated care in the region — St. Charles Bend provided some $38,000 charity care in 2008 — and allow providers to redirect those savings to cover the community share of the program.

“If we can show that we’re truly saving the hospital money over the next couple of years, we’re hoping that they can allocate some of those community benefit dollars to go back into the community, in terms of helping to fund the community portion of this plan,” Rawlings said.

“There are other funding sources out there that we will try to look into, but that one seems like the most logical one.”

Mike Bonetto, president of HealthMatters and a St. Charles executive, said the hospital will continue to spend some of its community benefit dollars on SharedCare members but will do so now in a more cost-effective manner.

“The whole premise of what we’ve been trying to do is to get people to get care up front preventatively from the primary care office setting, instead of in the (emergency department),” he said. “It just makes no sense for us to be caring for people in the ED, and expending charity care dollars when there’s been an ongoing issue that could have been prevented.”

Bonetto said the program will increase the dollars going into the local health care system, reducing the free care that many doctors and clinics are now providing.

“These are dollars that were never there before, so these are dollars that are going out into the provider community to help offset uncompensated care,” he said. “It really is a win-win for everybody.”

SharedCare will start enrolling companies this month, with a possible start date for early adopters of June 1.

M Can you prevent Alzheimer’s?

NIH panel says no

By Kelly Brewington T he B altimore Sun

Exercise, dietary supplements and programs that claim to boost your brain power have all been marketed as ways to stave off Alzheimer’s. But there’s no evidence that any of them work, an independent panel of experts convened by the National Institutes of Health concluded this week.

So far, studies haven’t been able to prove if any of these strategies work to prevent cognitive decline, the panel said. The news

is discouraging, for certain. The unfortunate reality is so little is known about the illness and of the aging process in general, experts said.

Researchers have identified certain risk factors such as age and the association of a genetic variant of a protein that plays a role in cholesterol — apolipoprotein E — that have shown links to developing Alzheimer’s. And experts hope to soon understand what role genetics play in the disease. But much more research is needed.

In addition, the panel found that chronic diseases such as diabetes and depression, and risk factors such as smoking are associated with increased risk of both Alzheim-

er’s and cognitive decline. But it’s unclear from studies if these factors actually cause Alzheimer’s or are simply related.

What’s clear, however, is that a review of the interventions used to prevent the disease shows little evidence that they’re effective.

“Alzheimer’s disease is a feared and heart-breaking disease,” said Dr. Martha L. Daviglus, conference panel chairwoman and professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University. “We wish we could tell people that taking a pill or doing a puzzle every day would prevent this terrible disease, but current evidence doesn’t support this.”

Next week A Bend woman with kidney disease has become a one-woman marketing machine to find a kidney donor.

Kidney

egon Health & Science University, which will do the transplant if a donor is found.

She keeps a list of people willing to be evaluated for donation.

It represents her hope for an end.

She said she’d rather not think about the other way it could end.

If she stops doing dialysis, or if her health or blood vessels deteriorate so that she cannot, she will die.

A couple of weeks ago, OHSU called to tell her a potential donor had been disqualified. Depression sunk in. “Hitting the Wall” was the title of her blog post that week.

“I have no idea why I am still waiting, and am beginning to resign that this is my life,” she wrote.

It’s those days when she gets

Continued from F1 Today, Bach’s life is dialysis appointments, mental and physical therapy sessions and doctor visits. Bach’s moods rise and fall with the fate of her transplant list, the list of people who could potentially give her a kidney. In today’s life, she can’t drive, much less work.

She misses Former Life, she said in a post on her blog, http://living-in-grace.net. “I can’t have you back now,” she wrote.

“You are gone.” Lost to kidney disease.

A common cause Bach’s kidney failure is caused by a condition called reflux nephropathy. The condition, which she was born with, is due to dysfunctional valves between her kidney and bladder.

Unlike properly working valves, Bach’s allow urine to flow in reverse, from the bladder into the kidney. Over time, this damages the kidneys and can lead to infections, of which Bach had plenty.

Not all people with reflux nephropathy develop kidney failure, doctors say, but it can happen.

“She has one of the most common causes of kidney failure in the adolescent and young adult population,” said Dr. Michael Feldman, a kidney specialist at Bend Memorial Clinic who is treating Bach.

The kidneys, two bean-shaped organs the size of a fist, are the waste-treatment plants of the body, filtering waste and extra water out of the blood. If they are unable to do their job, toxins accumulate in the blood.

In cases of reflux nephropathy, once the kidneys start going downhill, Feldman said, there is nothing doctors can do to stop the eventual descent into kidney failure.

Because Bach was diagnosed in such a late stage, she went on dialysis almost immediately, said McGuire.

Dialysis, the mechanical cleaning of the blood, does the job that kidneys do but in a more cumbersome and less-effective way, through hoses and tubes rather than vessels and cells.

For a while, Bach did dialysis at home in Montana, using a machine that she hooked up to for about 12 hours a day. That allowed her to keep working via telecommute.

Then, the family moved to Arizona for better access to a transplant center, Bach said. They moved again, ending up in Bend in July 2008.

New routine Life in kidney failure follows a routine: three days of dialysis, two days of physical therapy, with medical appointments scattered in between.

For dialysis patients, “very quickly your life is consumed by your life, not doing anything fun, not taking care of your responsibilities,” said Feldman, “just maintaining your own modicum of health.”

Bach’s kidney disease has been complicated by the development of rheumatoid arthritis, unrelated to the kidney disease, which makes it painful to move. Since

“freaked out and depressed and really hard to live with,” Bach said a few days later. She tries, and often succeeds, in pulling her mood back, refocusing on getting better. She recommits to her dialysis regimen, her therapy and finding donors.

“I’m trying to use my aggression in a positive way.” She wants to live a long life, she said, “and die along with my husband at the appropriate time, not when my kids are just graduating high school, but when they’re about to get married, or (my daughter) calls us with our first grandchild.”

Kelli Bach works for up to an hour in the pool with physical therapist Craig Boswell of Therapeutic Associates. Bach has kidney failure which has been complicated by rheumatoid arthritis, making walking and straightening her legs extremely painful.

October, she has been confined to a wheelchair.

She does physical therapy, trying to reduce the arthritis pain enough to get her mobile again. If she does find a kidney donor, being stronger and able to walk will help her recover faster.

Her husband works full-time to pay their household bills. He works from home, so he can be there for his wife. Like all people who have permanent kidney failure, Bach is eligible for Medicare, which pays most of her medical costs.

Her therapy sessions illustrate one of the main themes of her life now: the need for help. Once a week, she goes to the Athletic Club of Bend for pool therapy.

At home her husband helps her put on her bathing suit. She is picked up by a medical transport van, secured in her wheelchair in its cargo space and wheeled out the back at her destination.

At the pool, a complex lifting system helps her get from wheelchair to pool. A therapist helps her move her legs, trying to straighten knees that are contracted in a bent position. A buoy helps her float, allowing her to practice walking in the water until she is exhausted.

There are flashes of how things were before, when she didn’t need as much help.

She wheels herself around the locker room, making a joke about scraping the paint off the wall when she rams into the side of a hallway. When Bach is being lifted into the pool, she directs the therapist and other staff members, telling them what happened the last time this lift was used.

She asks about each exercise; she plans to bring her husband to the pool so they can practice the exercises without the supervision of a therapist.

Bach likes physical therapy, she said, because it feels like progress toward her goal of walking again.

Dialysis day after day Dialysis is just a chore.

Three days a week, for five hours a day, she goes to Fresenius Medical Care in Bend. She sits still while her blood is circulated through a dialysis machine.

Waste and extra fluid are pulled out, cleaning the blood and allowing her to function.

“I try to sleep because otherwise you have to watch TV and I just hate watching TV,” she said.

Sometimes her family comes with her, but often she is there alone, passing the hours until she can go home.

She is getting closer to accepting the routine, but it hasn’t been easy. She sees a counselor now.

“I just couldn’t handle things,” she said. “I’m just a total type A. I just get totally freaked out when I can’t control things.”

It’s often the younger patients who have very busy lives previous to kidney disease who have the most trouble with it, Feldman said. These are patients who haven’t “embraced the sick role.”

Some days, she can’t help but face it. These are the bad days, when the kidney disease takes over the entire family’s life.

Bach’s husband remembers a day last fall when he got a call from the dialysis center. Bach had been “run too dry,” meaning the dialysis filtered out too much fluid along with the waste products, sending her blood pressure dangerously low. The paramedics were called and Bach was rushed to the emergency room.

“I thought, ‘Wow, is this it?’” her husband recalls. He pulled the kids out of school to go visit their mother, in case it was the last time they saw her, he said.

The way out Bach’s ticket out of this life, and back to something that more closely resembles Former Life, is a kidney transplant.

Kidneys are the most commonly requested organ, making

up more than three-fourths of the demand for organ transplants. A kidney, unlike some organs, can come from a living or dead donor.

Bach has been waiting for a kidney transplant for four years.

She is currently listed with Or-

GOOD FOR YOU

How much do you know about carrots?

Coffee has antioxidants, but be sure to drink in moderation

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Orange is the standard-issue carrot color at the supermarket, of course, but it’s hardly the only color of the mighty (nutritious) carrot.

Take our quiz on carrots of all hues.

Eat your grapes New research shows the fruit may reduce risk of heart disease

By Michele Munz St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Grapes reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes in rats, according to a University of Michigan Health System study.

The findings were presented Monday at the Experimental Biology convention in California.

Researchers took a group of rats prone to be overweight and fed them a typical high-fat American diet. Some rats were also fed a mixture of red, green and black grapes in powdered form.

After three months, the rats receiving the grape-enriched diet had lower blood pressure, bet-

ter heart function and reduced indicators of inflammation than the rats receiving no grape powder. The grape-fed rats also had fewer symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a condition affecting about 50 million Americans and a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

University of Michigan plans to further its research this summer when it begins a clinical trial to test the impact of grape consumption on heart health.

POP QUIZ

Next week

Carotenoids, a phytochemical, give carrots their yellow, orange and red hues. But what gives purple carrots their hue? a) Isothiocyanates b) Anthocyanims c) A mix of red dye No. 3 and blue dye No. 2

2.

Red carrots are rich in the anti-oxidant lycopene, which some say helps prevent prostate cancer. Which other red fruit or vegetable contains high levels of lycopene? a) Tomatoes b) Cherries c) Strawberries

3.

One cup of raw carrots provides what percentage of your daily value for vitamin A, which among other benefits boosts your immune system? a) 686.3 percent b) 102 percent c) 48.6 percent

4.

True or false: According to a National Institutes of Health press release, the long-held belief that carrots help one’s vision is “merely an old wives’ tale.”

Your morning cup of joe can boost your energy and your daily nutrient intake. Coffee has several antioxidants, including riboflavin (also called vitamin B2) and folate, both important for the healthy growth and development of cells. Of course, it also has loads of caffeine, but if you don’t overdo it, some caffeine has been found to have benefits. Recent studies have linked caffeine intake to better athletic performance.

Watch out: This is a drink best enjoyed in moderation. The Mayo Clinic says drinking lots of coffee has been linked to a slightly increased risk of heart disease, not to mention it can give you the jitters. Many experts recommend limiting your intake to no more than four cups per day.

How to eat: However you like it — black, with milk or sugar. If you’re watching your weight, remember that adding heavy creams or sugar adds fat and calories to your diet.

— Betsy Q. Cliff, The Bulletin

According to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a phytonutrient called falcarinol in carrots reduced the size of precancerous colon lesions in which test subjects? a) Rats b) Nematodes c) Men ages 70 to 85 in Boca Raton, Fla.

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 8/26/2010. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31,2012.

Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one- year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31,2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you a notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement.

You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 7/27/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENACY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you.YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
