Metabolomics: What optimizes our exercise routines?

By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ten minutes of brisk exercise triggers metabolic changes that last at least an hour. The unfair news for panting newbies: The more fit you are, the more benefits you just might be getting.

We all know that exercise and a good diet are important for health, protecting against heart disease and diabetes, among other conditions.

But what exactly causes the health improvement from working up a sweat or from eating, say, more olive oil than saturated fat? And are some people biologically predisposed to get more benefit than others?

They’re among questions that metabolic profiling, a new field called metabolomics, aims to answer in hopes of one day optimizing those benefits — or finding patterns that may signal risk for disease and new ways to treat it.

Bend Utility Operations and Maintenance Manager Paul Roy calls them “doohickeys,� while City Councilor Mark Capell has dubbed them “bug condos.�

Officially called “dispersed media,� the plastic honeycomb-like structures, each about the size of a shelled peanut, are expected to play a key role in the effort to meet the city’s wastewater treatment needs over the next several years.

The plastic pieces are added to an aeration basin, a stage in the treatment process where the “bugs� — common microorganisms found almost everywhere in nature — consume the organic materials remaining in filtered wastewater.

The organic material can be consumed faster when the microorganisms have something to attach themselves to, Roy said, and the grooves and pockets on the plastic pieces provide a place for them to call home. By adding plastic pieces to the untreated wastewater — twothirds of the basin can be filled with plastic pieces before the addition of wastewater — the available surface area for microorganisms to latch on to is greatly expanded.

With a larger population of microorganisms, the time required for treatment can be cut in half.

Although the city has been in the process of expanding the wastewater treatment plant for the last four years, the system called an Integrated Fixed Film/Activated Sludge system, or IFAS, is a new addition to the plan. Roy said public works officials first learned of the system through trade publications, then took trips to Wyoming and Colorado to see completed systems in

Because the wastewater plant is already running at close to capacity, the city won’t be able to start adding plastic pieces to wastewa-

ter immediately.

Roy said the current aeration basins will need to be taken offline to add high-capacity blowers able to provide the oxygen needed by a larger population of microorganisms, and screens to keep the plastic pieces from becoming lodged in the blowers and stirrers.

Alex Pemberton and his wife, Susan, stopped paying the mortgage on their home in Pinellas Park, Fla., in 2009. They have been using the money for his business and discretionary spending, joining a growing number of people who are staying in homes for which they have stopped paying.

“Instead of the house dragging us down, it’s become a life raft,� said Pemberton, who stopped paying the mortgage last summer. “It’s really been a blessing.�

A growing number of the people whose homes are in foreclosure are refusing to slink away in shame. They are fashioning a sort of homemade mortgage modification, one that brings their payments all the way down to zero. They use the money they save to get back on their feet or just get by.

The Bend City Council is considering a major overhaul to the city’s procedure for approving public contracts — a move officials believe will make the process more clear and bring the city’s code up to date with revised state laws.

The city’s code currently includes eight pages of rules related to the public contracting process.

Now, city staff members want to remove that section of the code altogether and replace it with an updated set of rules.

According to city documents prepared by Assistant City Attorney Gary Firestone, the update was prompted by concerns about a lack of clarity in the existing rules and about who in the city government had the authority to make decisions about contracts.

Among the changes up for consideration: a requirement that the city council would need to review all contracts for more than $100,000 and allowing the city to negotiate with the low bidder in certain circumstances, such as when all bids come in over the estimate.

For contracts of less than $100,000, the city would allow an informal competitive process with three quotes or proposals, according to the document.

Aspirants to priesthood face queries on sexuality

By Paul Vitello New York Times News Service

Every job interview has its awkward moments, but in recent years, the standard interview for men seeking a life in the Roman Catholic priesthood has made the awkward moment a requirement. “When was the last time you had sex?� all candidates for the seminary are asked. (The preferred answer: not for three years or more.) “What kind of sexual experiences have you had?� is another common question. “Do you like pornography?�

Depending on the replies, and the results of a battery of standardized psychological tests — including sketches of anatomically correct human figures the candidate is asked to draw — the interview may proceed into deeper waters: “Do you like children?� and “Do you like children more than you like people your own age?�

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A business inadvertently gives you counterfeit money — are you stuck with it? In most cases, yes. But what if that business happens to be a branch of the federal government?

Los Angeles resident David Lipin found himself asking this question the other day after he cashed a $1,000 Postal Service money order at a West Hollywood post office.

He said the postal worker handed him 10 $20 bills and eight $100 bills.

Lipin, 43, said he then stopped at a nearby gas station to fill his tank. He tried to pay with one of his new $100 bills.

“The clerk took a close look at it and said it was fake,” Lipin told me. “Then she looked at some of the other $100 bills. She said they were fake too, and she called the police.”

Alarmed, Lipin phoned a lawyer friend. At his friend’s urging, he too called the Los Angeles Police Department to report that he’d been given bogus bills. “I wanted it very clear that I was a victim and not someone trying to pawn off some counterfeit dollars,” Lipin said.

The cops arrived at the gas station and inspected the cash.

They shook their heads.

“The police said the $100 bills were actually $5 bills that had been bleached and altered,” Lipin recalled. “They showed me how you could hold them up to the light and see Abraham Lincoln’s face. All eight turned out to be counterfeit.”

‘Like a hot potato’ So now what? The police took a report but said they couldn’t do anything. They suggested that Lipin try the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, which serves West Hollywood.

A sheriff’s deputy also said they couldn’t do much and suggested he try the Secret Service.

So did the post office when Lipin returned to the same branch that had given him the funny money.

“We don’t have anything in our regulations to address this,” said Richard Maher, a spokesman for the Postal Service.

He added that even though Lipin has a receipt showing he cashed his money order at the post office, it’s impossible to verify that he received the bogus bills in the transaction. “What if he got them after he left the post office?” Maher asked.

The Secret Service was sympathetic toward Lipin’s situation.

But an agent basically told him he was out of luck. Unless an investigation turned up a counterfeiting mastermind, the buck would stop with Lipin.

“Unfortunately, counterfeit money is like a hot potato,” said Wayne Williams, deputy special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s L.A. office. “Whoever ends up with it last is the victim.”

Well, yes, but Lipin got his bogus cash from the U.S. Postal Service, redeeming a Postal Service money order. Shouldn’t Uncle Sam bear some responsibility?

“Not really,” Williams replied.

“The post office operates as a business. It takes in money from customers. Postal workers don’t really have special equipment or training to spot counterfeit bills.

Unless they’re in on it, this isn’t their responsibility.”

So Lipin is hosed?

“He’s hosed.”

Williams advised anyone who receives questionable cash to stop by a bank and ask what the money pros have to say. If a bill is indeed counterfeit, contact the Secret Service and turn it in to authorities. Maybe they’ll be able to find out where it came from, maybe not.

And don’t try and be clever by spending the bogus bill elsewhere — passing the hot potato to someone else, as it were.

“If you tried to cash a bill you were told was fake, you could be arrested,” Williams warned.

Bargains just for you: Personal deals on rise The messages are aimed at encouraging repeat buys or enticing a first-time purchase, while avoiding conflicting promotions, Jennings said.

By Andrew Martin New York Times News Service

SECAUCUS, N.J. — For years, hotels, airlines, banks, online retailers and other datadriven businesses have turned to powerful computers to help determine the optimal price for their products, or to find ways to recommend items that groups of customers with similar tastes might want to buy.

The big retail chains have been slower to adapt, in part because of the sheer volume of customers they serve and products they sell.

But now, Sam’s Club, WalMart’s warehouse chain, is offering a program called eValues that strives to offer bargains tailored to each member, based on that member’s buying history.

Industry experts said they expected other retailers to move toward more individualized offers, too. Today, most retailers offer across-the-board discounts or deals aimed at categories of customers.

“This is really the holy grail, in a sense, pricing to the individual,” said Willard Bishop, a retail consultant in suburban Chicago who focuses primarily on supermarkets. “Everyone is on the path to doing what you are talking about.”

On a recent evening, for instance, Angela Otero stopped by the Sam’s Club in Secaucus and printed out four pages of eValues offers at a bright green kiosk near the front door, including $50 off a plasma television, $3 off a 30-pack of toilet paper and $2.50 off a box of meatless burgers.

Otero said she had used eValues since it started in August and found that the discounts covered “the majority of things I want.”

“The detergents, TV dinners once in awhile,” she said, scanning through her printout of deals. “There’s a dollar off Bounce. I use that all the time.

“It’s basically my own grocery list,” she said.

Linda Vytlacil, vice president for member insights and innovation at Sam’s Club, said coupons normally had a response rate of 1 or 2 percent. With eValues, she said, as many as 20 to 30 percent of eligible customers collect the discounts they are offered.

The program is available only to Sam’s Club’s “Plus” members, who pay a higher yearly membership fee than do regular members. They can view the deals by e-mail, on the Sam’s Club website or at store kiosks.

“There’s no clipping coupons,” Vytlacil said, adding that eValues offered “highly individual relevant offers specific to each Plus member.”

“All they have to do is purchase the product, and the savings are automatically applied at checkout,” she said.

Like other membership clubs, shoppers must present a card at checkout.

Other applications The eValues program is the latest iteration in the fastgrowing field known as predictive analytics, which uses vast amounts of data to spot trends and anticipate consumer behavior.

Two of the best-known users of applications of predictive analytics are baseball executives, who scour statistics to find overlooked superstars, and the online DVD rental service Netflix when it suggests movies its customers might like.

The dating service eHarmony also uses the practice to match potential mates, and eLoyalty, which sells customer service technology, uses algorithms to analyze customer calls to make them more effective and efficient.

For instance, based on a day’s worth of calls, eLoyalty can predict which customers are likely to cancel their accounts.

Using that information, a company can then call back those customers to try to save their business and can use the initial call to train its employees to do better.

Privacy concerns

Brad Bogan checks his coupons at a kiosk at Sam’s Club in Secaucus, N.J. The warehouse chain is offering a program called eValues that aims to offer deals to members based on their buying history.

“The goal is to have customer service reps speak to the customer in the way they want to be spoken to,” said Jason Wesbecher, eLoyalty’s vice president for sales and marketing. “We are trying to rescue customers trapped in service hell.”

Of course, retailers have long tried to decode consumer behavior, through surveys or test panels, or by using crude forms of data analysis. During the last decade or so, many retailers have amassed huge amounts of data through loyalty programs or membership cards, like those provided by Sam’s Club and its rival, Costco.

But retailers have generally done little with the information, other than using the cards as a branding opportunity or to offer broad discounts.

“You’ve got hundreds and hundreds of loyalty programs out there, and I would argue that only a handful leverage it like they should,” said Stuart Aitken, chief executive of Dunnhumby USA, which is considered a pioneer in providing analytics to retail stores like Kroger.

Some retailers, however, have used the data to figure out the right product mix and layout for their stores, or to offer discounts to categories of customers.

Sam’s Club officials say they are among the first to offer individualized discounts on such a large scale, an assertion supported by several industry experts. CVS Caremark and Kroger are two other retailers that offer individualized discounts.

Melissa Studzinski, director for relationship marketing at CVS, said the analytics used in the stores’ ExtraCare loyalty program was a “stealth way to drive business” that competitors cannot necessarily see. “We’ve credited ExtraCare as one of the linchpins of our sale results,” she said.

Among the advantages, tailoring offers to individual customers makes marketing budgets far more efficient. It also keeps customers happy.

“If you get more relevant to shoppers, you get more loyalty, you get more business,” said Dave Carlson, chief executive of Relevance Partners, which provides software to retailers to glean consumer insight from shopping data.

A major challenge in creating eValues was the scale involved: The permutations of customer, product, location and discount exceeded 1 trillion possibilities for Plus members alone, officials said.

Working with FICO, the com-

pany best known for providing credit scores, Sam’s Club has improved its ability to predict what each customer will buy and the time frame in which that purchase will occur.

For any product discount, Sam’s Club can vary the message and price in the communication received by the customer, said Andrew N. Jennings, FICO’s chief research officer. Aside from the cost savings, tailored messages to consumers can also highlight specific product attributes that a particular consumer typically seeks, like “organic” or “environmentally friendly,” he said.

Some privacy advocates worry that customers are becoming too willing to allow corporations to gather and exploit their shopping histories. Most users of the data, Sam’s Club included, insist they have rigorous protocols to protect customer privacy.

And for all of its sophistication, there is no guarantee that eValues will be a hit. Most shoppers observed during several recent visits to the Secaucus store went about their shopping seemingly oblivious to the eValues kiosk.

In several instances, shoppers stopped to use the kiosk, but a scanner failed to read the bar code on their cards, forcing employees to manually type in their membership numbers.

Still, some shoppers said they were impressed by the deals they were receiving using eValues. Ricardo Mayoral printed out four pages of deals at the kiosk, including discounts on orange juice, ice cream sandwiches, televisions and chicken breasts.

“I got like $2 off the bananas, a $1 off the Toasted,” he said, referring to a package of crackers in his cart. Mayoral, 36, said the best eValues deal yet was $300 off a $1,200 television.

“I remember that day,” he said later. “I came to buy food, and I bought two TVs.” Brad Bogan, 44, who works near the Secaucus store, said he signed up for a Plus membership during a recent promotion and had more than covered his costs with eValues savings. (Plus members pay $100 a year; regular members pay $40.)

Even so, convenience sometimes trumps value. Bogan is not renewing his Plus membership because his office is moving farther away from the Secaucus store and there is not a Sam’s Club near his home.

“We use BJ’s more than we do Sam’s,” he said, referring to BJ’s Wholesale Club. “There’s a BJ’s right down the street.”

T S Iran has fuel for two nuclear weapons, report says

By David E. Sanger and William J. Broad New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — In their last report before the U.N. Security Council votes on sanctions against Iran, international nuclear inspectors declared Monday that Iran has produced a stockpile of nuclear fuel that experts say would be enough, with further enrichment, to make two nuclear weapons.

The report, by the International Atomic Energy Agency, a branch of the United Nations, appears likely to bolster the Obama administration’s case for a fourth round of economic sanctions against Iran and further diminish its interest in a deal, recently revived by Turkey and Brazil, in which Iran would send a portion of its nuclear stockpile out of the country.

When Iran tentatively agreed eight months ago to ship some of its nuclear material out of the country, the White House said the deal would temporarily deprive Iran of enough fuel to make even a single weapon.

But Iran delayed for months, and the figures contained in the inspectors’ report Monday indicated that even if Iran now shipped the agreed-upon amount of nuclear material out of the country, it would retain enough for a single weapon, undercutting the American rationale for the deal.

The toughly worded report says that Iran has expanded work at one of its nuclear sites. It also describes, step by step, how inspectors have been denied access to a series of facilities, and how Iran has refused to answer inspectors’ questions on a variety of activities, including what the agency called the “possible existence” of “activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile.”

A spokesman for the White House, Michael Hammer, said in a statement Monday that the report “clearly shows Iran’s continued failure to comply with its international obligations and its sustained lack of cooperation with the IAEA.”

Another containment option After the failure of the “top kill” procedure, BP will attempt to stop the leak by capping the blowout preventer’s lower marine riser package, which could take several days.

Los Angeles Times BP’s robots wielded clamps and hauled machinery Monday in a slow-motion ballet a mile below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, preparing for the next risky maneuver to stanch the gush of oil from its renegade well.

The initial step to sever the crumpled and ruptured broken riser pipe that is spewing as much as 798,000 gallons of oil a day was expected today. But BP spokesman Graham MacEwen said the company could not predict when it would be ready to cut the ragged pipe, a necessary operation to enable the snug fit

of a cap that would funnel oil to a ship at the surface.

BP has predicted the new effort could capture much of the oil, but if it failed, it could boost the flow by removing any resistance the pinched and bent pipe may have created.

Ultimately, the catastrophic leak can be halted only when a relief well — two are now being drilled — intercepts the existing well in August at the earliest to enable a new cementing job.

The robots Monday were “preparing the area, making smaller cuts or trimming operations,” MacEwen said. The company’s website, bp.com, would continue

U.S. service members bow their heads at a Memorial Day service Monday at Camp Victory in Baghdad.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

ROME — In one of his most concrete actions since a sexual abuse scandal began sweeping the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, Pope Benedict XVI on Monday appointed a high-profile team of prelates, including the archbishop of New York, to investigate Irish dioceses and seminaries.

The pope had announced that he would open the investigation in a strong letter to Irish Catholics in March. In the letter he expressed “shame and remorse” for “sinful and criminal” acts committed by members of the clergy, after two scathing Irish government reports documenting widespread abuse in church-run schools and the Dublin archdiocese.

Also Monday, the pope accepted the resignation of Richard Burke, an Irish-born archbishop in Benin City, Nigeria, who had been suspended after he acknowledged having a 20-year relationship with a woman. In a statement, the bishop apologized and denied accusations of child abuse. He said the sexual relationship began when the woman was 21. The woman has said it began when she was 14.

In its announcement, the Vatican said the investigation, called an Apostolic Visitation, would begin this fall.

Bloody Israeli raid on flotilla sparks crisis

CAMP VICTORY, Iraq — With heads bowed beneath a palace dome still etched with the initials of Saddam Hussein, dozens of U.S. service members paid tribute Monday to Americans killed in action not only in Iraq, but also in Afghanistan and in wars of the past.

Officers presented a Memorial Day wreath, a bugler sounded taps and a lieutenant general spoke about how “little compares to the loss of a brother in arms.”

Soldiers in uniform and contractors in work boots said the nearly 4,400 Americans who’ve died in Iraq since 2003 were not faceless statistics: They were commanders, friends, family.

Some of the troops gathered at Camp Victory in Baghdad found it difficult to discuss individual losses, even now that combat

deaths have tapered off and the war here is eclipsed by the bloodshed in Afghanistan, where the number of troops killed in action just passed the 1,000 mark.

“It’s too personal,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. Bien Covita, 34, of San Jose, Calif., looking away as he declined to discuss the fallen service member on his mind.

Covita added that he wished that Americans would view Memorial Day as “more than just a day off work. We sacrifice every day for them to sleep comfortably.”

Other soldiers said they missed the cookouts and camping trips of Memorial Days in the United States. However, they, too, worried that the holiday is losing some of its traditional meaning at a time when thousands of service members are still deployed in the Middle East.

U.S. leaving Green Zone New York Times News Service BAGHDAD — The term was coined by the American military. But unlike some others, the name managed to stick in the popular imagination. Green Zone always seemed to say so much, here and abroad. It was the imperial outpost of an occupation, or the citadel of a government never quite sovereign.

The U.S. military will formally withdraw today from the last nine checkpoints it staffed in this disheveled stretch of territory that it demarcated after overthrowing Saddam Hussein in April 2003. The largely symbolic move is another in a year filled with them as the United States pulls out all but 50,000 troops by summer’s end.

to stream live video of the maneuver, he said.

As the struggle to reduce the flow continued, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that moderate winds from the south and southwest this week could move the oil slicks closer to the Mississippi and Alabama coasts by Wednesday.

Nearly six weeks have elapsed since the April 20 blowout that killed 11 men aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig, starting the largest spill in U.S. history. About 120 miles of Louisiana coastline have been contaminated by slicks and tar balls. Many fishing operations have shut down.

JERUSALEM — Israeli naval commandos conducted a deadly raid on a flotilla of aid ships bound for Gaza on Monday, earning widespread condemnation and setting off a diplomatic crisis for the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Several European nations and Turkey summoned Israeli envoys for an explanation of the actions. At the request of Turkey, the U.N. Security Council met in emergency session Monday over the attack, which occurred in international waters north of Gaza and killed at least nine people. Netanyahu canceled his plans to meet with President Barack Obama in Washington today, an Israeli government official confirmed.

Netanyahu, who is visiting Canada, planned to return home Monday to deal with fallout from the raid, the official said.

The White House, which had been at odds with the Israeli prime minister over settlements in East Jerusalem, released a statement saying that Obama had spoken with Netanyahu and understood his need to return immediately to Israel. In addition to regrets about the loss of life, “the president also expressed the importance of learning all the facts and circumstances

around this morning’s tragic events as soon as possible,” the statement said.

The criticism offered a propaganda coup to Israel’s foes, particularly Hamas, the militant group that holds sway in Gaza, and damaged Israel’s ties to Turkey, one of its most important Muslim partners and the unofficial sponsor of the convoy. As thousands of protesters took to the streets of Istanbul, Turkey recalled its ambassador to Israel, and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calling the raid “state terrorism,” cut short a visit to Latin America to return home.

Netanyahu defended the Israeli military’s actions, saying the commandos were set upon by passengers on the ship and fired only in self-defense. The military released a video of the early moments of the raid that seemed to support his claim.

The Israeli Defense Forces said the naval personnel boarding the largest of the six ships in the aid convoy met with “live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs.” The naval forces then “employed riot dispersal means, including live fire,” the military said in a statement.

No pay Continued from A1 This type of modification does not beg for a lender’s permission but is delivered as an ultimatum: Force me out if you can. Any moral qualms are overshadowed by a conviction that the banks created the crisis by snookering homeowners with loans that got them in over their heads.

“I tried to explain my situation to the lender, but they wouldn’t help,” said Pemberton’s mother, Wendy Pemberton, whose small house a few blocks away from her son’s is in foreclosure. She stopped paying her mortgage two years ago after a bout with lung cancer. “They’re all crooks.”

A snail’s pace Foreclosure procedures have been initiated against 1.7 million of the nation’s households. The pace of resolving these problem loans is slow and getting slower because of legal challenges, foreclosure moratoriums, government pressure to offer modifications and the inability of the lenders to cope with so many souring mortgages.

The average borrower in foreclosure has been delinquent for 438 days before getting evicted, up from 251 days in January 2008, according to LPS Applied Analytics.

Although there are no firm figures on how many households are following the Pemberton-Reboyras path of impassive resistance, real estate agents and other experts say the number of overextended borrowers taking the “free rent” approach is on the rise.

There is no question, though, that for some borrowers in default, foreclosure is only a theoretical threat for a long time.

More than 650,000 households had not paid in 18 months, LPS calculated earlier this year.

With 19 percent of those homes, the lender had not even begun to take action to repossess the property — double the rate of a year earlier.

In some states, including California and Texas, lenders can pursue foreclosures outside of the courts. With the lender in control, the pace can be brisk.

But in Florida, New York and 19

Questions Continued from A1 It is part of a soul-baring obstacle course that prospective seminarians are forced to run in the aftermath of a sexual abuse crisis that church leaders have decided to confront, in part, by scrubbing their academies of potential molesters, according to church officials and psychologists who screen candidates in New York and the rest of the country.

But many of the questions are also aimed at another, equally sensitive mission: deciding whether gay applicants should be denied admission under complex recent guidelines from the Vatican that do not explicitly bar all gay candidates but would exclude most of them, even some who are celibate.

‘Not black and white’ Scientific studies have found no link between sexual orientation and abuse, and the church is careful to describe its two initiatives as more or less separate. One top adviser to American seminaries characterized them as “two circles that might overlap here and there.”

Still, since the abuse crisis erupted in 2002, curtailing the entry of gay men into the priesthood has become one the church’s highest priorities. And that task has fallen to seminary directors and a cadre of psychologists who say that culling candidates has become an arduous process of testing, interviewing and making decisions — based on social science, church dogma and gut instinct.

“The best way I can put it, it’s not black and white,” said the adviser, the Rev. David Toups, director of the secretariat of clergy, consecrated life and vocations of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “It’s more like one of those things where it’s hard to define, but ‘I know it when I see it.’”

Many church officials have been reluctant to discuss the screening process, and its details differ from diocese to diocese.

In the densely populated Diocese of Brooklyn, officials are confident of their results in one respect.

“We have no gay men in our seminary at this time,” said Dr. Robert Palumbo, a psychologist who has screened seminary candidates at the diocese’s Cathedral Seminary Residence in Douglaston, Queens, for 10 years. “I’m

Attorney Mark Stopa, who is handling dozens of foreclosure cases, works in his office in St. Petersburg, Fla. Stopa works to delay foreclosure proceedings, which allows homeowners to stay in their homes while not paying their mortgages. other states, judicial foreclosure is the rule, which slows the process substantially.

In Pinellas and Pasco counties, which include St. Petersburg and the suburbs to the north, there are 34,000 open foreclosure cases, said J. Thomas McGrady, chief judge of the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit. Ten years ago, the average was about 4,000.

“The volume is killing us,” McGrady said.

Pemberton and Reboyras decided to stop paying because their business, which restores attics that have been invaded by pests, was on the verge of failing.

Scrambling, their credit already shot, they had little to lose.

“We could pay the mortgage company way more than the house is worth and starve to death,” said Pemberton, 43. “Or we could pay ourselves so our business could sustain us and people who work for us over a long period of time. It may sound very horrible, but it comes down to a self-preservation thing.”

pretty sure of it.” Whether that reflects rigorous vetting or the reluctance of gay men to apply, he could not say. “I’m just reporting what is,” he said.

Concern over gay men in the priesthood has simmered in the church for centuries, and has been heightened in recent years by claims from some Catholic scholars that between 25 percent and 50 percent of priests in the United States are gay. The church has never conducted its own survey, but other experts have estimated the number to be far smaller.

The sexual abuse scandal has prompted some conservative bishops to lay blame for the crisis on a “homosexual subculture” in the priesthood. While no one has proposed expelling gay priests, the crisis has pitted those traditionalists against other Catholics who attribute the problem to priests, gay and straight, with dysfunctional personalities.

In 2005, the Vatican sidestepped that ideological debate, but seemed to appease conservatives by issuing guidelines that would strictly limit the admission of gay men to Catholic seminaries.

The guidelines, which bolstered existing rules that had been widely unenforced, defined homosexuality in both clear-cut and ambiguous ways: Men who actively “practice homosexuality” should be barred. But seminary rectors were left to discern the meaning of less obvious instructions to reject candidates who “show profoundly deep-rooted homosexual tendencies, or support the so-called gay culture.” Though some Catholics saw room in that language for admitting celibate gay men, the Vatican followed up in 2008 with a clarification. “It is not enough to be sure that he is capable of abstaining from genital activity,” ruled the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education, which issued the initial guidelines. “It is also necessary to evaluate his sexual orientation.”

Some seminary directors were baffled by the word “orientation,” said Dr. Thomas Plante, a psychologist and the director of the Spirituality and Health Institute at Santa Clara University, who screens seminary candidates for several dioceses in California and nationwide.

Could a psychologically mature gay person, committed to celibacy, never become a priest? Plante said several admissions officers asked. Could the church afford to turn away good candidates in the midst of a critical priest shortage?

is recovering.

The couple owes $280,000 on the house, where they live with Reboyras’ two daughters, their two dogs and a very round pet raccoon named Roxanne. The house is worth less than half that amount — which they say would be their starting point in future negotiations with their lender.

“If they took the house from us, that’s all they would end up getting for it anyway,” said Reboyras, 46.

One reason the house is worth so much less than the debt is because of the real estate crash.

But the couple also refinanced at the height of the market, taking out cash to buy a truck they used as a contest prize for their hired trappers.

It was a stupid move by their lender, according to Pemberton.

“They went outside their own guidelines on debt to income,” he said. “And when they did, they put themselves in jeopardy.”

His mother, Wendy Pemberton, who has been cutting hair at the same barbershop for 30 years, has been in default since spring 2008. Wendy Pemberton, 68, refinanced several times during the boom but says she benefited only once, when she

The Vatican permits every bishop and leader of a religious order to make those decisions, which vary from stricter to more liberal interpretations of the rules.

But the methods of reaching them have become increasingly standard, experts say.

Stephen Rossetti, a psychologist at Catholic University who has screened seminarians and once headed a treatment center for abusive priests, said the screening could be “very intrusive.” But he added, “We are looking for two basic qualities: the absence of pathology and the presence of health.”

To that end, most candidates are likely to be asked not only about past sexual activities but also about masturbation fantasies, consumption of alcohol, relationships with parents and the causes of romantic breakups. All must take HIV tests and complete written exams like the 567-question Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, which screens for, among other things, depression, paranoia and gender confusion.

Interview strategies In interviews by psychologists — who are usually selected because they are Catholic therapists with religious views matching those of the local church leadership — candidates are also likely to be asked about their strategies for managing sexual desire.

“Do you take cold showers? Do you take long runs?” said Plante, describing a typical barrage of questions intended both to gather information and to let screeners assess the candidate’s poise and self-awareness — or to observe the tics and eye-avoidance that may signal something else.

In seminaries that seek to hew closely to the Vatican rules, a candidate may be measured by the extent to which he defines himself as gay.

The church views gay sex as a sin and homosexual tendencies as a psychological disorder, but it does not bar chaste gay men from participating in the sacraments.

That degree of acceptance does not extend to ordination.

“Whether he is celibate or not, the person who views himself as a ‘homosexual person,’ rather than as a person called to be a spiritual father — that person should not be a priest,” said Toups, of the bishops’ conference.

Beyond his assertion that “I know it when I see it,” no one interviewed for this article was able

got enough money for a new roof. The other times, she said, unscrupulous salesmen promised her lower rates but simply charged her high fees.

Even without the burden of paying $938 a month for her decaying house, Wendy Pemberton is having a tough time.

Most of her customers are senior citizens who pay only $8 for a cut, and they’re spacing out their visits.

“The longer I’m in foreclosure, the better,” she said.

In Florida, the average property spends 518 days in foreclosure, second only to New York’s 561 days. Defense attorneys stress they can keep this number high.

On the case Both generations of Pembertons have hired a local lawyer, Mark Stopa. He sends out letters — 1,700 in a recent week — to Floridians who have had a foreclosure suit filed against them by a lender.

Even if you have “no defenses,” the form letter says, “you may be able to keep living in your home for weeks, months or even years without paying your

to describe exactly how screeners or seminary directors determine whether someone’s sexual orientation defines him. Some Catholics have expressed fear that such vagueness leads to bias and arbitrariness. Others call it a distraction from the more important objective of finding good, emotionally healthy priests.

“A criterion like this may not ensure that you are getting the best candidates,” said Mark Jordan, the R.R. Niebuhr professor at Harvard Divinity School, who has studied homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood. “Though it might get you people who lie or who are so confused they do not really know who they are.”

“And not the least irony here,” he added, “is that these new regulations are being enforced in many cases by seminary directors who are themselves gay.”

It is difficult to gauge reaction to the recent guidelines among seminary students and gay priests.

Priests who once defended the work of gay men in the priesthood have become reluctant to speak publicly.

“It is impossible for them to come forward in this atmosphere,” said Marianne Duddy-Burke, the executive director of DignityUSA, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics. “The bishops have scapegoated gay priests because gays are still an acceptable scapegoat in this society, particularly among weekly churchgoers.”

mortgage.”

About 10 new clients a week sign up, according to Stopa, who says he now has 350 clients in foreclosure, each of whom pays $1,500 a year for a maximum of six hours of attorney time.

“I just do as much as needs to be done to force the bank to prove its case,” Stopa said.

Many mortgages were sold by the original lender, a circumstance that homeowners’ lawyers try to exploit by asking them to prove they own the loan. In Wendy Pemberton’s case, Stopa filed a motion to dismiss on March 17, 2009, and the case has not moved since then.

He filed a similar motion in her son’s case in December.

From the lenders’ standpoint, people who stay in their homes without paying the mortgage or actively trying to work out some other solution, like selling it, are “milking the process,” said Kyle Lundstedt, managing director of Lender Processing Service’s analytics group. LPS provides technology, services and data to the mortgage industry.

These “free riders” are “the unintended and unfortunate consequence” of lenders struggling to work out a solution, Lundstedt said.

“These people are playing a dangerous game,” he said. “There are processes in many states to go after folks who have substantial assets postforeclosure.”

But for borrowers like Jim Tsiogas, the benefits of not paying now outweigh any worries about the future.

“I stopped paying in August 2008,” said Tsiogas, who is in foreclosure on his house and two rental properties. “I told the lady at the bank, ‘Screw it, I can’t afford $2,500. I can only afford $1,300.’”

Tsiogas, who lives on the coast south of St. Petersburg, blames his lenders for being unwilling to help when the crash began and his properties needed shoring up.

Their attitude seems to have changed since he went into foreclosure. Now their letters say things like, “We’re willing to work with you.” But Tsiogas feels little urge to respond.

“I need another year,” he said, “and I’m going to be pretty comfortable.”

Seminary officials of the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Archdiocese of New York would not permit a reporter to interview seminarians. But the Brooklyn diocese did allow a reporter to talk to its psychologist, Palumbo, and its director of vocations, the Rev. Kevin Sweeney, whose incoming classes of three to five seminarians each year make him one of the more successful vocation directors in the country.

Half of U.S. seminaries have one or two new arrivals a year, and one-quarter get none, according to a recent study.

Sweeney said the new rules were not the order of battle for a witch hunt. “We do not say that homosexuals are bad people,” he said. “And sure, homosexuals have been good priests.

“But it has to do with our view of marriage,” he said. “A priest can only give his life to the church in the sense that a man gives his life to a female spouse. A homosexual man cannot have the same relationship. It’s not about condemning anybody. It’s about our worldview.”

Exercise Continued from A1 “We’re only beginning to catalog the metabolic variability between people,” says Dr. Robert Gerszten of Massachusetts General Hospital, whose team just took a step toward that goal.

The researchers measured biochemical changes in the blood of a variety of people: the healthy middle-aged, some who became short of breath with exertion, and marathon runners.

First, in 70 healthy people put on a treadmill, the team found more than 20 metabolites that change during exercise, naturally produced compounds involved in burning calories and fat and improving blood-sugar control.

Some weren’t known until now to be involved with exercise. Some revved up during exercise, like those involved in processing fat.

Others involved with cellular stress decreased with exercise.

Those are pretty wonky findings, a first step in a complex field. But they back today’s health advice that even brief bouts of activity are good.

“Ten minutes of exercise has at least an hour of effects on your body,” says Gerszten, who found some of the metabolic changes that began after 10 minutes on the treadmill still were measurable 60 minutes after people cooled down.

Your heart rate rapidly drops back to normal when you quit moving, usually in 10 minutes or so. So finding lingering biochemical changes offers what Gerszten calls “tantalizing evidence” of how exercise may be building up longer-term benefits.

Metabolite breakdown Back to the blood. Thinner people had greater increases in a metabolite named niacinamide, a nutrient byproduct that’s involved in blood-sugar control, the team from Mass General and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard reported last week in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Checking a metabolite of fat breakdown, the team found people who were more fit — as measured by oxygen intake during exercise — appeared to be burning more fat than the less fit, or than people with shortness of breath, a possible symptom of heart disease.

The extremely fit — 25 Boston Marathon runners — had tenfold increases in that metabolite after the race. Still other differences in metabolites allowed the researchers to tell which runners had finished in under four hours and which weren’t as speedy.

“We have a chemical snapshot of what the more fit person looks like. Now we have to see if making someone’s metabolism look like that snapshot, whether or not that’s going to improve their performance,” says Gerszten, whose ultimate goal is better cardiac care.

Don’t expect a pill ever to substitute for a workout — the new work shows how complicated the body’s response to exercise is, says metabolomics researcher Dr. Debbie Muoio of Duke University Medical Center.

But scientists are hunting nutritional compounds that might help tweak metabolic processes in specific ways. For example, Muoio discovered the muscles of diabetic animals lack enough of a metabolite named carnitine, and that feeding them more improved their control of blood sugar. Now, Muoio is beginning a pilot study in 25 older adults with pre-diabetes to see if carnitine supplements might work similarly in people who lack enough.

W B Al-Qaida’s No. 3 is reported killed The operational leader for alQaida in Afghanistan was killed in an American missile strike in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the last two weeks, according to a statement the group issued late Monday that American officials believe is correct.

The militant leader, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, an Egyptian, was a top financial chief for al-Qaida as well as one of the group’s founders, and was considered by American intelligence officials to be the organization’s No. 3 leader, behind Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, another Egyptian.

“His death will only be a severe curse by his life upon the infidels,” al-Qaida said in a statement issued to jihadist websites and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors statements by jihadists.

A U.S. official said American intelligence analysts believed the statement from al-Qaida was accurate. They said the death of al-Yazid, also known as Saeed al-Masri, was a significant setback to al-Qaida’s ability to help plan and support cross-border

Contracts Continued from A1 In addition, the proposed changes to the code include specific rules for when the city buys supplies or pays for services from city employees and for how city employees should handle surplus goods. Property with a value of less than $5,000 can be declared as surplus by city department heads, but property with a value between $5,000 and $25,000 must be designated as surplus by the city manager. A surplus designation for expensive property requires the approval of the City Council.

Firestone notes that the changes make the contract process more formal, which could create additional expenses, but wrote that the higher costs “should be balanced by lower costs for some processes and greater assurances that the city is selecting the best contractor under the circumstances after a fair and open process.”

The council is scheduled to take a preliminary vote on the issue at its meeting on Wednesday evening, which will be held at 7 p.m. at City Hall, located at 710 N.W. Wall St. Erin Golden can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at egolden@bendbulletin.com.

Wastewater Continued from A1 Because the plant does not have the capacity to shut down a basin while the improvements are done, the city plans to build a fifth aeration basin that will work with the IFAS system, and retrofit the older basins with new blowers and screens once the new basin is completed.

Once the aeration basins are outfitted with IFAS-ready equipment, Bend will be able to expand its wastewater processing capacity almost instantaneously. If a manufacturing company with the potential to generate a large quantity of wastewater were interested in coming to Bend, Roy said the city would not need to spend months or years planning and building an expanded treatment plant. Instead, the capacity could be added as quickly as a manufacturer could get a shipment of plastic pieces to Bend.

The upgrades are expected to cost around $20 million, including $7 million to $8 million to construct the fifth aeration basin, which should be completed and running within two years.

Roy said the plastic pieces are more expensive than they probably should be, as manufacturers recognize their product is competing with costly traditional wastewater treatment equipment. As more communities adopt the IFAS system, the cost should come down, he said, possibly before Bend orders its first truckload of plastic pieces.

“It’s typical U.S. industry, what the market will bear,” Roy said.

“It’s still less expensive than pouring concrete and steel, and it’s a heck of a lot easier to take care of.”

U.S. flies Afghan troops to recapture district KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. command says American helicopters have flown Afghan troops into a remote mountain area north of Kabul in an operation to recapture a district overrun last week by the Taliban.

Government forces pulled out of Barg-e-Matal (Barge-eh-mahTAL) district of the Nuristan prov-

ince last weekend after hundreds of Taliban fighters swept into the area from nearby Pakistan. U.S. aircraft softened up Taliban defenses with airstrikes ahead of the pre-dawn assault today.

Tropical Storm Agatha’s death toll rises to 145 GUATEMALA CITY — Flooding and landslides from the season’s first tropical storm have killed at least 145 people and made thousands homeless in Central America, officials said Monday.

Dozens of people were missing and emergency crews struggled to reach isolated communities cut off by washed-out roads and collapsed bridges caused by Tropical Storm Agatha.

The sun emerged Monday in hardest-hit Guatemala, where officials reported 120 dead and at least 53 missing. In the department of Chimaltenango — a province west of Guatemala City — landslides buried dozens of rural Indian communities and killed at least 60 people, Gov. Erick de Leon said.

“The department has collapsed,” de Leon said. “There are a lot of dead people. The roads are blocked. The shelters are overflowing. We need water, food, clothes, blankets — but above all, money.”

German president resigns amid criticism BERLIN — President Horst Kohler of Germany resigned Monday amid a barrage of criticism for remarks he made during a visit to Afghanistan.

It was the first time in four decades that a German president had quit the post, the nation’s highest even though it is largely ceremonial.

Kohler set off the criticism when he said in an interview with Deutschland Radio, the public broadcasting station, that German soldiers serving in Afghanistan or with other peacekeeping missions were deployed to protect German economic interests.

His resignation was another blow for Chancellor Angela

Merkel, a close friend and conservative ally. It came just a week after another leading conservative politician, Roland Koch, resigned as premier of the state of Hesse.

In the radio interview, which was conducted on May 22, Kohler, a former director of the International Monetary Fund, emphasized the importance of the nation’s economy.

“A country of our size,” he said, “with its focus on exports and thus reliance on foreign trade, must be aware that military deployments are necessary in an emergency to protect our interests, for example, when it comes to trade routes, for example, when it comes to preventing regional instabilities that could negatively influence our trade, jobs and incomes.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Bernanke: Emerging markets key to growth The global economy will depend increasingly on emerging markets to foster strong growth, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said, adding that central banks worldwide must carefully weigh the timing of their withdrawals from various economic stimulus programs put in place during the financial crisis. “The Federal Reserve and many other central banks ... will have to manage its exit from accommodative policies,� evaluating the risks of a premature exit against the ramifications of leaving them in place for too long, said Bernanke, addressing a conference sponsored by the Bank of Korea in Seoul by video Sunday. “Because economic conditions vary, the appropriate timing of the exit is likely to differ across countries. To guide these important decisions, each central bank will have to carefully monitor economic developments in its own jurisdiction.�

The Fed chief, however, gave no new insight into when his central bank might start tightening credit. Up until recently, many analysts were predicting that the central bank late this year would start raising a key interest rate that has been held near zero since December 2008. But now, with rising concerns about the impact of Europe’s debt crisis on the recovering U.S. economy, more economists are expecting the Fed to sit tight until at least 2011.

Website on local farming about to sprout

By Adrianne Jeffries The Bulletin

Local farmers and their customers will soon have access to a website with a directory of local farms and information about how to farm in Central Oregon’s dry climate and short growing season.

The site was created by an enterprising Terrebonne farmer who got a $15,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

At 27, Sarahlee Lawrence,

of Rainshadow Organics, is a relatively young farmer. She planted three acres of vegetables at her parents’ farm, Lawrence Farms, and this summer will be her first season growing produce for sale.

But farming is tough, especially in Central Oregon, and she needed advice from experienced farmers to get started. “My parents have been raising hay for 30 years,� she said. “But I wanted to know more about raising vegetables in

Central Oregon, which is really a challenge, especially on a commercial scale. And there are people who have been doing it, and I wanted to find those people.�

There are plenty of vegetable farmers in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties growing pretty much everything you can find at the store — tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes, beets — but they were hard for Lawrence to find.

Sarahlee Lawrence, with a laptop and tomato plants in her greenhouse Friday, developed a website for Central Oregon farmers to share information.

Michael Toth’s work has earned him accolades, attention

By Adrianne Jeffries The Bulletin

Michael Toth didn’t start drawing until age 19, but you’d never guess. The Bend tattoo artist, now 25, has nearly perfected the vibrant, photo-realistic style that earned him a slew of distinctions at two recent tattoo conventions: “Best of Show� at the Lady Luck Convention in Reno, Nev., and “Best Sleeve� as well as “Tattoo of the Day,� which he won twice, at the Oregon Ink Convention in Eugene.

Toth got his start working in tattoo shops. He began

The Basics What: Mike Toth Art Employees: 1 Phone: 541-207-7477 Website: www.miketothart. com/

working out of a home studio three months ago. The studio is open, sunny and immaculate, with linoleum floors, a padded reclining chair, and a real skull Toth uses for reference. The space used to be a doctor’s home office, and it

still looks like it — except for dozens of ink bottles lined up on a glass table, and Toth, whose colorful tattoos cover his arms and poke up from his collar.

He lives in a quiet neighborhood with his wife, who is five months pregnant, and their 20-month-old son. The first thing clients see when they open the door to his studio is a polite sign asking them to remove their shoes.

Toth is serious about his craft. He plans to raise his $125-an-hour rate to $150 in November, when his tattooing license will be five years

old, and not a day before. “It’s disrespectful to tattooing to charge $150 an hour before you’re ready,� he said solemnly.

Not that there would be any shortage of clients willing to pay that rate — Toth is booked through September, and his awards have brought him international attention.

He now gets multiple e-mails a week from all over the U.S. and as far away as Australia, Germany and Ireland, inviting him to conventions or to tattoo as a guest artist in someone else’s shop.

Report foresees crises for banks in Europe

By Jack Ewing

Prudential purchase of AIG unit in peril Prudential remained locked in talks Monday over its purchase of the American International Group’s huge Asian life insurance arm, a deal that is now in jeopardy, said people briefed on the negotiations.

The two sides hoped to reach a compromise Monday, one that would probably shrink the current $35.5 billion price to between $30 billion and $32 billion, said these people, who were granted anonymity because the talks are confidential. A shareholder vote on the deal is scheduled for June 7, with the approval of 75 percent of voting shareholders needed.

Prudential, a British insurer unrelated to Prudential Financial of the United States, has told AIG that its shareholders would not support the deal at its current price. AIG’s board met Friday to discuss the matter. At stake is the biggest move yet by AIG to repay billions of dollars in government aid. The sale of the unit, American International Assurance, was struck in early March. AIG plans an initial offering of the unit should the talks fail, but discord in the markets make the prospects of an IPO uncertain. — From wire reports

Passengers wait at the domestic check-in counter for Continental Airlines in Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, N.J., in April.

This is not going to be a good summer for air travelers.

They face a potential combination of crowded flights, high fares and labor disruptions. And that does not even consider the possibility of more canceled flights because of new penalties for airlines that encounter long tarmac delays or the potential of continued disruption in Europe from the volcano ash drifting from Iceland.

Demand for business and leisure travel is expected to be stronger this summer than last, which means travelers will be fighting for seats that have been reduced significantly during the recession.

According to an analysis of first- and business-class travel in the first quar-

ter by the International Air Transport Association, the trade group for the airline industry, the number of passengers traveling in these classes was 7.6 percent higher than in the period a year earlier. The number of passengers in economy was up 7.4 percent in the same period.

Growth in all classes of service is “being driven by business travel, rather than leisure,� the group’s analysis said. “As business confidence and world trade have turned up sharply, business travelers have returned. Consumer confidence has not recovered in the same way as business confidence.�

Major corporate travel agencies in the United States are also reporting strong growth in flying by business travelers.

FRANKFURT — Despite recent improvements in the health of European banks, they remain vulnerable to a daunting array of hazards that are expected to produce another round of sizable write-offs during the next couple of years, the European Central Bank said Monday, in a report that catalogued in alarming detail the problems facing the region’s financial institutions.

The challenges for banks in the 16-nation euro zone include exposure to a weakening commercial real estate market, hundreds of billions of euros in bad debts, economic problems in East European countries, and a potential collision between the banks’ own substantial refinancing needs and government demand for additional loans, the central bank said.

In its twice-yearly review of risks facing the nations that use the euro currency, the central bank expressed particular concern about banks’ need to refinance long-term debt of an estimated 800 billion euros, or $984 billion, by the end of 2012.

Borrowing costs could rise as the banks compete with governments in the bond market, “making it challenging to roll over a sizable amount of maturing bonds by the end of 2012,� the report said.

The increased demand for credit is likely to place further strain on banks, as well as companies that need to borrow. As it is, many European companies are suffering from low profitability and too much debt, the report said. “The financial markets remain fragile and especially the developments in recent weeks have shown the necessity of heightened alertness,� Axel A. Weber, president of the Bundesbank and a member of the European Central Bank’s governing council, said Monday during a speech in Mainz, Germany.

Lucas D. Papademos, the departing vice president of the central bank, struck a more upbeat tone at a news conference Monday to present the semi-annual report, called the Financial Stability Review. While attempts

by European governments to reduce debt will cut economic demand, he said, growth could ultimately improve as economies became more productive.

Tech innovator in Japan sets its sights on China

By Hiroko Tabuchi New York Times News Service

TOKYO — A Japanese technology giant little known outside Asia is racing to capture the booming Chinese Internet market. And in the process, it hopes to become a global player straddling what is fast becoming the world’s most wired region.

Softbank already trumps Google in Japan, where it has the country’s most popular search engine and e-commerce site. It also runs the fastest-growing mobile phone carrier in Japan and operates its largest broadband network. Softbank is also the sole Japanese carrier for the Apple iPhone and is the only company providing data service for the iPad. But Softbank’s most promising ventures are in China, where it has made a series of strategic investments in some of the country’s most prominent Internet companies.

It invested in the Chinese Web retailer Alibaba in 2000, pushing its founder, Jack Ma, to start Taobao, now the biggest e-commerce site in the country.

This year, Softbank will introduce a service that connects Taobao to its Yahoo portal in Japan.

Softbank, based in Tokyo, also has a 35 percent stake in Oak Pacific Interactive, which owns the hugely popular social networking and game-playing sites RenRen and Kaixin.com.

“We want to be Number 1 in Asia on the Internet,” Masayoshi Son, Softbank’s charismatic chief executive who founded the company in 1981, said in mid-May at an

event where he unveiled new cell phones. “Before anyone knows it, Softbank will be a step ahead.”

At the same time, Softbank has established itself as a bridge between Silicon Valley innovations and the growing Asian market, investing in American startups in exchange for rights to bring their services to Asia.

In the year to March, Softbank more than doubled its net profit to 96.72 billion yen ($1.04 billion), driven by strong performance in its mobile business, while operating profit soared 20 percent to a record 465.9 billion yen. This year, Softbank forecasts operating profit of 500 billion yen and plans to raise capital spending by 180 billion yen, to 400 billion yen.

Softbank executives stress that success in Asia will hinge

on mobile technology, because many users in the region are leapfrogging fixed-line Internet connections and using the Web from hand-held devices.

In its push into China, Softbank has exploited its diversity as both a full-fledged mobile carrier and an online business. Still, the company faces challenges.

Though Softbank’s interests in China are promising, “revenue streams are mostly still in the future,” said Nathan Ramler, a technology analyst for Macquarie in Tokyo.

Softbank’s cutting-edge businesses also make them inherently risky, Ramler said. “The rate of change and possibility that a new idea could come along and undercut existing business models is always going to be a risk,” he said.

Turning loyalty cards into cell phone game

By Claire Cain Miller

Several startup companies are experimenting with ways to use cell phone applications to reward people for frequenting certain businesses.

For retailers, these games and apps offer a new form of mobile marketing, and a way to reward customers for their loyalty.

New York Times News Service

Loyalty cards — those little paper cards that promise a free sandwich or coffee after 10 purchases, but instead get lost or forgotten — are going mobile.

And merchants are looking for ways to marry the concept to games that customers can play to earn more free items and, it is hoped, spend more money.

Instead of collecting paper cards and fumbling through wallets at the cash register, customers are increasingly using their cell phones to track their visits and purchases and receive rewards.

Some startups, like CardStar and CardBank, store existing loyalty cards on cell phones with scannable bar codes. And companies including Motorola and a startup called mFoundry are providing retailers with the technology to build cell phone loyalty cards.

Loopt is one of several startups — including Foursquare, Shopkick and Gowalla — that are experimenting with ways to use cell phones to bridge the digital and physical worlds and turn the tasks of everyday life, like buying coffee and running errands, into a game.

Loopt, one of the first services to let people use cell phones to share their location with friends, is taking its concept a step further today by introducing Loopt Star, a mobile game that rewards people for frequently checking in to particular places. People will compete to earn “achievements” and become “boss” of certain locations, and Gap, Burger King and Universal Music plan to use Loopt Star to reward loyal customers.

For retailers, these games and apps offer a new form of mobile marketing that goes well beyond a minibanner ad by rewarding consumers, individually, for their loyalty. And stores can use the data they collect from people’s cell phones to learn more about their customers and how they behave.

One-to-one marketing No one in advertising has ever been able to figure out how to do “one-to-one, real-time marketing,” said Drew Sievers, a former advertising executive who is now co-founder and chief executive of mFoundry. “The mobile phone is where that will actually probably happen. It’s the only thing connected and always with you.”

Loopt has offered search or banner ads on its mobile apps, but advertisers told the company that instead, they wanted a mobile loyalty card, said Sam Altman, Loopt’s co-founder and chief executive.

“Instead of advertising with a banner, it’s offering users incentives for good behavior,” he said.

“They’re trying to turn existing customers into better ones.”

Loopt Star is Loopt’s effort to play catch-up with some of these

SAN FRANCISCO — A Chinese supercomputer has been ranked as the world’s secondfastest machine, surpassing European and Japanese systems and underscoring China’s aggressive commitment to science and technology.

The Dawning Nebulae, based at the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, China, has achieved a sustained computing speed of 1.27 petaflops — the equivalent of one thousand trillion mathematical operations a second — in the latest semiannual ranking of the world’s fastest 500 computers.

The newest ranking was made public Monday at the International Supercomputer Conference in Hamburg, Germany. Supercomputers are used for scientific and engineering problems ranging from climate simulation to automotive design.

The Chinese machine is actually now ranked as the world’s fastest in terms of theoretical peak performance, but that is considered a less significant measure than the computing speed achieved on a standardized computing test.

The world’s fastest computer remains the Cray Jaguar supercomputer, based at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. In November it was measured at 1.75 petaflops.

In the previous year’s ranking, the Chinese had the fifthfastest computer, a system that was based at a National Su-

“I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of this year they surpass the scientific computing power of the EU countries combined and have a computer system with an achieved performance to reach the No. 1 position on the top 500.”

— Jack Dongarra, computer scientist, University of Tennessee percomputing Center in Tianjin, China. That machine has dropped to seventh place.

The United States continues to be the dominant maker of supercomputers, and is the nation with the most machines in the top 500. The United States has 282 of the world’s fastest 500 computers on the new list, an increase from 277 when the rankings were compiled in November.

But China appears intent on challenging American dominance. There had been some expectation that China would make an effort to complete a system based on Chinese-designed components in time for the June ranking. The Nebulae is based on chips from Intel and Nvidia.

The new system, which is based on a microprocessor that has been designed and manufactured in China, is now expected later this year. A number of supercomputing industry scientists and engineers said that it was possible that the new machine would claim the title of world’s fastest.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of this year they surpass the scientific computing power of the EU countries combined and have a computer system with an achieved performance to reach the No. 1 position on the top 500,” said Jack Dongarra, a computer scientist at the University of Tennessee and one of the researchers who has organized the twice-yearly rankings.

Americans designed the first machines that were defined as supercomputers during the 1960s, and the United States has rarely been dislodged from its controlling position as technology leader. In 2002, however, the Japanese Government’s Earth Simulator set off anxiety in Washington when that system briefly claimed the position.

The United States then began investing heavily in the computing systems, breaking the petaflop barrier in 2008.

It is now preparing to begin a sustained push to build systems capable of computing at what is known as exascale performance — 1,000 times faster than today’s fastest systems.

The goal is to reach that technological achievement sometime between 2018 and 2020.

LOOKING FOR A GOOD REASON TO ADVERTISE IN THE BULLETIN? other services, particularly with Foursquare. Loopt, which started in 2005, was one of the first companies to popularize broadcasting one’s whereabouts to friends. But Foursquare, founded last year, is a popular newcomer. It turned location-sharing into a game with its badges, mayorships and rewards and into a marketing tool for businesses, including Tasti D-lite and Pepsi, to track and reward loyal customers.

New users Loopt has 3.4 million registered users to Foursquare’s 1.4 million users. But Foursquare’s gaming elements are quickly attracting new users. Altman said Loopt built Loopt Star in response, and last year acquired a startup called GraffitiGeo that builds similar games.

“We respectfully just sort of knocked off those gaming elements, but added new things,” he said.

People register for Loopt Star using their Facebook logins, so they can share their location and compete in the game with their Facebook friends and alert their friends about recent purchases and special deals.

Retailers can choose which actions they want to reward and what the prizes will be. Gap is sending customers a 25 percent discount coupon after they check in twice to a Gap store.

Burger King is offering a soda with a sandwich or a coffee with a breakfast sandwich to people who check in three times. Universal Music will send five free songs to people who check into any bar along with two friends.

Stanford University is using Loopt Star over graduation weekend. When students check in to at least two of the official school events, they will get a prize. Once they have left Stanford, they will be able to use Loopt to find fellow alumni, said

Ian Hsu, Stanford’s director of Internet media outreach.

Starbucks will use Loopt Star to give frequent customers an honorary barista badge, symbolized by a green apron. Starbucks also offers a barista badge on Foursquare, where people compete to become “mayors” of places, and the coffee chain is giving mayors $1 off Frappuccinos.

Starbucks has its own iPhone loyalty card, built by mFoundry.

Customers collect stars in a cup on their phones every time they make a purchase and get a free drink every 15 visits.

Starbucks could use the data from the cell phones to send personalized offers, like a chai Frappuccino coupon in the afternoon to people who drink chai lattes in the morning, said Brady Brewer, vice president at Starbucks overseeing brand loyalty and the Starbucks card.

“We’ve tried to build a program around recognition — knowing who you are and what you like — and in some ways, that relevance comes from knowing about purchases from data” collected from the loyalty program, he said.

‘Bring them back’ Shopkick is creating a program, expected to begin later this year, that will reward people for showing up and spending money at any of the partner stores, which include American Eagle Outfitters, Best Buy and Macy’s.

Cyriac Roeding, Shopkick’s co-founder and chief executive, says these types of mobile apps are a counterweight to comparison-shopping apps, like RedLaser, that drive people to other stores.

“You have to find new ways to keep your customers engaged and bring them back, because you know there are apps that drive them out of the store instead of into it,” he said.

Mike Toth works on one of his client’s tattoos, in hopes of completing the sizable piece by the end of the session, in his tattoo studio at his Bend home Thursday morning.

Continued from B1 He’s also been asked to design a signature line for Rise Up Clothing, a local brand that sells T-shirts nationally in stores such as Urban Outfitters.

Many tattoo artists get inadequate training, Toth said, which is why the world has so many regrettable tattoos. He answered some questions for The Bulletin last week because he wants people to know that they don’t have to travel to get a high-quality tattoo.

“When I see tattoos that look like they’ve been done out of somebody’s garage, it bums me out,” he said.

How did you get started tattooing?

For the first couple years, nobody wants to get tattooed by the newbie. So you tattoo your friends and whoever will let you tattoo them. I was tattooing 12 to 15 hours a day for six or seven days a week. Doing kanji at work – you know, Japanese or Chinese characters.

I would do 10 of those at work.

Then at night I would give a lot of free tattoos away, give clients cheap tattoos, discount tattoos.

Q: A:

How would you describe your style?

Most clients think that my tattoos look like paintings. … It’s a juxtaposition of art nouveau and realism with really dynamic, developed color that translates really well to the human body.

Europe Continued from B1 “It is possible that the shortterm impact will not be as severe as seems to be expected at the moment,” said Papademos, whose term ended Monday.

European banks will need to set aside an estimated 123 billion euros in 2010 for bad loans, and an additional 105 billion euros in 2011, the report said. That would be in addition to the 238 billion euros they set aside from 2007 to 2009.

That projected sum for 2010, however, was lower than previous estimates. Banks also benefited from a rebound in securities markets, the report said.

Stock prices apt to fall While profitability of larger banks has improved, their shares are likely to fall in the near future, the central bank said, citing an analysis of options — securities that investors use to bet on the direction of stock prices.

The report also noted that some banks remained dependent on the central bank for loans.

Since the advent of the financial crisis, the central bank has granted almost unlimited credit to banks at 1 percent interest to offset a reluctance by banks to lend to one another.

“The continued reliance of some smaller or medium-sized euro-area banks on central bank refinancing continues to be a cause for concern,” the report said.

Papademos said the number of

What needs to change in the tattoo industry?

The high-end part of tattooing is going great … (but) a lot of it still needs to change. There are so many stereotypes about tattoos, people who have tattoos, people who do tattoos. … We have to figure out a system where the craft is really looked after. … There are so many tattoo artists pumping out tattoos. It’s a hassle for people who take tattooing really seriously. We have to fix their

banks involved was small, but he declined to give details. He also expressed concern about what he called “adverse feedback” between the government debt crisis and the banking system.

The report noted that higher-risk premiums for government debt fed through into the private sector and raised the cost of credit for companies.

The problems would be exaggerated if growth or unemployment were worse than expected, increasing the chances that companies and individuals would be unable to repay their loans.

The report also noted that some financial markets were still not functioning normally. Issuance of corporate bonds has declined since the end of last year, especially for banks and other financial institutions. In addition, the market for securitizations, in which banks package loans and resell them to investors, is “dysfunctional,” the report said.

Bond issues and securitizations are crucial ways that banks raise money to lend to companies and individuals.

Peril in bond markets The report, as well as separate statements by central bank officials Monday, also shed light on the bank’s decision on May 10 to buy government and corporate bonds on open markets.

In the days leading to the decision, trading in some government debt had come nearly to a standstill, the report said. The lack of a market for government bonds endangered the functioning of the whole financial system, in

stuff all the time.

Q: A:

What’s next for Mike Toth Art? I’ll open a shop, probably in downtown Bend … and do it like nothing that’s been done in Central Oregon.

It’ll be really high-end tattooing and painting, and have a big art gallery. … I want to do painting seminars, tattooing seminars so other tattoo artists can come and learn special techniques and other stuff from me. … I see myself tattooing beyond 50.

I don’t think I could get tired of it.

part because banks typically use government debt as collateral in making loans to one another.

“The tensions in the sovereign bond markets spilled over to other market segments, such as the foreign exchange market and equity markets,” the European Central Bank president, Jean-Claude Trichet, said on Monday during a speech in Vienna. “Trading volumes and liquidity became erratic, and volatility spiked.

“In view of these exceptional circumstances prevailing in the financial markets, we decided that exceptional intervention was necessary,” he said.

Weber, in his speech Monday, repeated his criticism of the bond purchases and said that they would remain limited in scope. Some economists see the bond purchases as breaking a taboo and risking inflation, since they amount to the central bank financing governments that have borrowed irresponsibly.

Trichet repeated that the central bank was “permanently alert and always prepared to act when necessary” in response to crises.

But he made clear that the bank could do only so much to restore stability to the financial system.

Euro-zone governments must ultimately create a system for disciplining countries that violate treaty limits on debt and deficits, he said.

“I call on euro-area governments in particular to work actively together to reach agreement on a quantum leap of the effectiveness of their collegial surveillance,” Trichet said.

Continued from B1 Many are in remote places, most don’t have websites, and although most farmers know each other, there is no authoritative list of Central Oregon farms.

But there will be one soon.

Lawrence heard about the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research Education grants through the Oregon State University Extension Service, which educates and supports local farmers. She applied and got a grant last spring to build the Central Oregon Food Network, a website where farmers and ranchers can submit information and photos about themselves, their farms and their products. Since then, she’s collected information for more than 30 local farmers.

Lawrence had no Web experience, so she took a class at Central Oregon Community College. She hired a programmer to build the website, www.centraloregonfoodnetwork.com, but she will update it and pay for it after the grant money runs out.

The website will have a discussion forum where farmers can ask questions and share advice. There will be a section for articles on things such as using alternative fuel, working with worms or growing exotic grains. The website also will have an event calendar.

Sean Dodson is co-owner of Dancing Cow Farm in Prineville, where he grows vegetables – including chard, onions, garlic and carrots – and raises poultry on 10 acres. He raises lamb and cattle on another 90 acres.

A mentor to Lawrence and other small farmers, Dodson said local farmers love the idea of the website.

“We’re hoping that this creates a marketing structure that allows the farmer to focus on what he’s good at, making good food, and then the website can focus a little more on getting that food to the people,” he said.

“We all tend to be on several different lists, but we didn’t really have anything going that was Central Oregon-specific,” he said. “The idea was to really focus on Central Oregon and the issues that we have in Central Oregon and get the product to people who want it as well as to hopefully collaborate as farmers.”

It will be a big help to farmers who are just starting out, he said. It also will help connect farmers with surpluses to farmers with shortages, and allow them to coordinate buying things like seed in bulk.

On the purchaser side, restaurants and food banks

will be able to buy from multiple places if one farm can’t supply the volume they need, he said.

There is demand for information about local food among households as well.

Another website, Central Oregon Locavore, www.localfoodmarketplace.com / bend, grew out of an e-mail list and launched last month as an online marketplace where customers can buy from local farms.

Lawrence and that site’s creator, Nicolle Timm of Bend, decided the sites will promote each other but remain separate.

The Central Oregon Food

Network site may include some larger farms, but they will all be from east of the Cascades and probably from Deschutes, Jefferson or Crook County. “You won’t find anything on there from anywhere but here,” Lawrence said.

The site will be live by Saturday, when local farmers will celebrate with a public launch party and potluck at The Environmental Center in Bend. The food will be local, of course.

Succession at IBM could prove historic

By Katie Hoffmann Bloomberg News

Nestle via New York Times News Service

Nestle’s Special T tea machine will be modeled on its Nespresso coffee maker and will cost about $160.

Nestle to bring technology to European tea market

By Matthew Saltmarsh New York Times News Service

PARIS — Are European tea drinking habits, refined over 400 years or so, ripe for change?

Nestle, the Swiss food and beverage giant, thinks so. The company plans to follow up on the success of its Nespresso coffee pod system in Europe with a similar product for the tea market. Code name: Special T. It will be introduced soon in France and, if successful, then in large European countries.

After that, potential markets include Russia, Turkey, the United States and even the largest cities in China.

“People love their tea moment,” said Henk Kwakman, the Nestle executive who will head Special T, having previously led Nespresso. “You interrupt what you do. It’s a special moment in a day, and people have strong emotions associated with it.”

Nestle did not invent the coffee pod — that honor is claimed by Illy of Italy — but the Swiss company has parlayed it into a global marketing success.

Time for tea The Special T process is much like that used by pod coffee machines. Sealed aluminum capsules containing tea leaves are inserted into the machine, which then recognizes which of the 25 blends — including black tea, green tea, white tea, blue tea and infusions — has been selected.

Brew time and water temperature are then regulated to match the blend.

After an introductory offer, the machine will sell in France for 129 euros ($160), with pods costing 3.5 euros for 10. A new filter will be offered with bulk purchases of 150 pods. The cost is similar to that of Nespresso, which prices its coffee between that in the supermarket and the cafe.

Can the same model work on tea lovers?

“It will take a while,” acknowledged Kwakman, a wiry Dutchman with an ebullient manner.

“There’s still a job to explain why the machine is there and how it will offer benefits.” In his view, these include bringing quality tea, brewed as intended, to a broader public.

In some respects, Nestle’s timing appears favorable.

Tea’s perceived health benefits — it has a lower caffeine content than coffee and studies point to

anti-aging properties — have helped the market expand in recent years.

And food and beverage sales traditionally hold up during economic downturns.

Growing market The West European retail market for tea has been growing annually by about 3.5 percent over the past decade, and rose to 4 billion euros in 2009 — 20 percent of global sales — from 2.8 billion euros a decade earlier, according to the market research firm Euromonitor International. By comparison, the European coffee market is worth 12.8 billion euros.

But there will be no shortage of skeptics ready to knock Nestle’s tea ambitions.

A leader in coffee, the company is something of a novice in tea; until now, it only offered iced-tea products. Then there is the established convenience of the tea bag and pot.

In addition, the Internet, the sole sales channel for Special T, accounts for just 1.2 percent of European tea sales. Supermarkets control 62 percent, with brands like Unilever’s Lipton and Twinings from Associated British Foods dominating.

“Is the market ready for this?

It’s possible, but there’s lots of competition,” said Fabien Maiolino, director of the Maison des Trois Thes, a tea buyer, distributor and consultancy based in Paris.

Maiolino said the market has been evolving recently and it would be hard for Nestle to win over “practical” drinkers, who will stick with bags and pots.

At the other end, it may take time to persuade the higher-end consumers of leaf and aromatized tea, he said, noting that Chinese companies are also considering entering Europe, having expanded in Asia.

Skeptics There is also a natural consumer skepticism to new products.

“I don’t want another machine in my kitchen,” Caroline Lefebvre, a senior Air France cabin attendant, said as she sipped espresso with friends recently in a cafe in Neuilly-sur-Seine, an upscale Paris suburb.

Lefebvre, 46, drinks tea daily at home. She said she would stick with tea bags and loose-leaf Earl Gray from the supermarket or,

occasionally, a swanky boutique like Mariage Freres in Paris.

“It’s too expensive and I don’t want to be tied into one product,” she said. Her two female companions concurred.

Tea machines have been introduced before by companies like Tefal, with varying degrees of success. There are also combination hot-drink machines, for example the Tassimo range from Kraft, with Bosch machines.

Still, Nestle should not be ruled out yet. Reservations were initially expressed with Nespresso.

That product was started in 1988 but only really took off in recent years, helped by an advertising blitz fronted by George Clooney. Last year, Nespresso posted sales of 2.8 billion Swiss francs ($2.5 billion), an annual gain of 22 percent.

No similar celebrity endorsement is planned for Special T — yet. The tea idea stemmed from Nespresso consumer feedback, Kwakman said, adding that the development process was trickier for tea than coffee.

“It was fun but extremely difficult because of the varieties,” he said. “The variety in leaf and size is enormous.”

He paused when the question of the British market was raised.

Tea consumption per capita there is higher than in any other developed Western market.

“In Britain there’s a different tea culture,” Kwakman said.

“People drink big mugs of tea with sugar and milk. Our concept is developed to fully enjoy the subtle flavor of tea.”

The Denver Post

DENVER — About 10 years ago, utility companies began offering customers the option of getting some of their electricity from wind, solar and biomass.

In 2009, green energy sales by 850 utilities reached 6 billion kilowatt-hours — enough for about 7.5 million homes, according to an annual survey by the Golden, Colo.-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Consumers often pay extra for green power, but between 2000 and 2009, that premium was cut in half to 1.75 cents per kilowatt hour, the NREL report said.

“The trend has been for growing sales,” said Lori Bird, an NREL analyst. “Even during a horrible economy, the market was up.”

Here are NREL’s top-ranked utilities:

• Total green energy sales 1. Austin Energy 2. Portland General Electric 3. Sacramento Municipal Utility 4. Xcel Energy The key to Austin’s top performance is its ability to offer locked-in prices for wind energy, said Karl Rábago, the Texas utility’s vice president for distributed energy. Customers who locked in to Austin’s first wind-power sale are paying 1.7 cents a kilowatthour compared with the current fuel-based charge of 3.65 cents.

Sustainability Nespresso has in the past faced criticisms for not offering enough recycling points for its used aluminum pods and for not pushing its sustainability further and faster.

Special T will “comply with all the Nestle practices in terms of sustainability and creating shared value,” Kwakman said.

Kwakman would not provide specific financial goals but said penetration in 1 percent or 2 percent of households in each market would be judged a success.

Nestle’s top executives recently signed off on the product — with tea.

“The board drank tea all day,” Kwakman said. “We had the first tea break — instead of a coffee break — at a board meeting in over in 140 years.”

Green energy sales steady despite economy

By Mark Jaffe

NEW YORK — IBM Chief Executive Officer Sam Palmisano will probably cede the post next year, raising the possibility of the first female or first black CEO in the 99year-old company’s history.

Three of IBM’s last four chief executives have stepped down at 60, with the exception being John Akers, who was forced out by IBM’s board before he reached that age. Palmisano, who has led the company for more than eight years, will hit that mark next July. IBM’s tradition of CEOs stepping aside at 60 helps retain top executives, said Val Rahmani, former general manager of an IBM security software business.

“People need to see that there’s the opportunity to progress,” said Rahmani, who left IBM last year and is now CEO of the Atlantabased security software firm Damballa Inc. She said Palmisano will probably retire next year. “There’s loads of speculation going on at the moment.”

IBM, the world’s largest computer-services provider, has brought in a CEO from outside the company only once, when it named Louis Gerstner Jr. to succeed Akers in 1993. The likely candidates this time are internal, including the senior vice presidents who oversee sales, hardware, consulting and technology services. Steve Mills, the well-respected senior vice president for software, may be unlikely to take over the top post since he also turns 60 next year.

IBM doesn’t comment on CEO succession, spokesman Edward Barbini said, because it’s an issue for IBM’s board. Directors won’t discuss their activities, he said.

For the last CEO change, IBM made the succession path clear more than a year before Gerstner stepped

end of 2002 before Palmisano assumed that title.

Palmisano hasn’t named a president or chief operating officer, which may be evidence he doesn’t plan to step down at 60.

That hasn’t stopped speculation about the succession in the halls of the company’s Armonk, New York, headquarters, Rahmani said.

One leading candidate is Ginni Rometty, who has overseen IBM’s sales effort for more than a year. Before that, she headed global business services where she spearheaded the integration of PwC Consulting, the company’s second-largest acquisition and a key step in shifting its strategic focus to services.

“She’s really a ‘Let’s just get it done’ person, but not in an abrasive manner,” said John Chen, CEO of Sybase Inc., a database software maker that partners with IBM. Another possibility is Rod Adkins, also 51, who heads IBM’s hardware group and supply chain. Adkins, who is black, is a member of the company’s technology team, which oversees IBM’s technical strategy.

“He’s very much the young engineer who made it,” Rahmani said. “And very well-regarded technically. A great product visionary.”

Hinckley, the manager of renewable programs.

About 9 percent of Portland General’s 815,000 customers participate in renewable, Hinckley said.

Green Source, which provides 100 percent renewable energy, adds about $9 a month to a household bill. Clean Wind adds about $3.50.

“As we entered 2009, I was very concerned whether people would still be willing to pay a premium, but people stayed with it,” Hinckley said.

• Green sales as a percentage of total electricity sales 1. Waterloo (Wisc.) Utilities: 21.4 percent 2. Edmond Electric, Edmond, Okla.: 8.1 percent 3. Portland General Electric: 7.9 percent 4. City of Palo Alto Utilities: 6.9 percent

Summer jobs dwindle Teenagers at the end of the job line as governments cut back

By Mickey Meece New York Times News Service

Nicole Bengiveno / New York Times News Service

Passengers wait at the check-in counter for JetBlue in John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York in April. Demand for business and leisure travel is expected to be stronger this summer, meaning passengers will be fighting for seats that were cut significantly in the recession.

Travel Continued from B1 Dale Eastlund, senior director of the consulting group of Carlson Wagonlit Travel, the corporate travel management company, said airline bookings

by North American corporate customers were up 15 percent in the first quarter, compared with the same period in 2009.

Michael Steiner, executive vice president of Ovation Corporate Travel in New York, said the number of airline transactions by Ovation’s corporate customers was 22.5 percent higher in the first four months of 2010, compared with the same period in 2009, while the number of airline transactions by its leisure customers was up 39 percent.

These double-digit increases in demand are in no way being matched by similar increases in the number of seats. The Air Transport Association, the trade group of the American airline industry, said domestic capacity will be only 0.2 percent higher this summer than last, while capacity on international routes will be up 6.6 percent.

“Seats will be limited,” said

Michael Derchin, airline analyst for CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Conn. “It’s going to be a more difficult travel experience for business people, with 90 percent load factors in the peaks.”

The inevitable outcome of limited seats and stronger demand will be higher fares, at least compared with the greatly depressed levels of 2009.

Disruption in flying is also possible this summer because of labor problems. British Airways has been dealing with on-again, off-again strikes by its cabin crew, while the management of American Airlines is preparing for a possible strike by its flight attendants.

The volcano in Iceland could also create further disruptions for travelers. Jennifer WilsonButtigieg, co-president and coowner of Valerie Wilson Travel, a corporate travel company in New York, said she was advising clients with connecting flights in any city in Europe “to build in a few extra hours for connecting time.”

The Transportation Department’s new regulations governing tarmac delays could wreak further havoc with air travel this summer because of the potential for thunderstorm delays, some

experts say. Under the new rules, the government has said it will fine carriers in the United States as much as $27,500 for each passenger if they keep people on domestic flights waiting for more than three hours on the tarmac without letting them get off.

“I guess airlines will err on the side of caution” if they are considering canceling a flight, Derchin said, adding that the result could be “more cancellations than normal.” And if capacity is tight, it could be hard to rebook passengers from canceled flights.

To make business air travel as manageable as possible, corporate travel executives suggest booking as far in advance as possible to get the lowest fares and best seats available, and developing a backup plan in case of delays.

There is usually an alternative to air travel “if the potential for disruption is too great,” said Henry Harteveldt, travel analyst for Forrester Research.

“Take the train, drive or turn to technology.” That way, he said, business travelers can avoid “the hassle factor and not compete for overhead bin space with families.”

This year is shaping up to be even worse than last for the millions of high school and college students looking for summer jobs.

State and local governments, traditionally among the biggest seasonal employers, are knee-deep in budget woes, and the stimulus money that helped cushion some government job programs last summer is running out. Private employers are also reluctant to hire until the economy shows more solid signs of recovery.

So expect fewer lifeguards on duty at public beaches this summer in California, fewer workers at some Massachusetts state parks and camping grounds and taller grass outside state buildings in Kentucky.

Students seeking summer jobs, generally 16 to 24 years old, are at the end of the job line, behind the jobless baby boomers who are competing with new college graduates who, in turn, are trying to elbow out undergraduates and high school students.

With so many people competing for so few jobs, unemployed youth “are the silent victims of the economy,” said Adele McKeon, a career specialist with the Boston Private Industry Council who counsels students on matters like workplace etiquette, professionalism and résumé writing.

Getting that first job “is an accomplishment, and it’s independence,” McKeon said. “If you don’t have it, where are you going to learn that stuff?”

The unemployment rate for the 16-to-24 age group reached a record 19.6 percent in April, double the national average.

For those job seekers, said Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, “This is the worst year, definitely since the early ’80s recession and very likely since the Great Depression.”

Or as researchers at Northeastern University, who issued a report in April on youth unemployment, put it, “The sum-

Troy Estes cuts tall grass on the lawn of the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in Frankfort, Ky., last week.

Kentucky, which is cutting back on expenses like other states around the country, is letting grass grow taller around state buildings to save money. mer job outlook does not appear to be very bright in the absence of a massive new summer jobs intervention.”

Still, the poor numbers this year are not solely a symptom of the continued weak economy.

For generations, government data shows, at least half of all teenagers were in the labor force in June, July and August.

Starting this decade, though, the number of employed teenagers began to drop, and by 2009, less than a third of teenagers had jobs. This year, the number could fall below 30 percent.

That is a stark contrast to the job market for recent college graduates seeking full-time employment — a market where this is actually a slight increase from this time last year.

There is no simple explanation for the large drop-off in summer jobs this decade, though experts say that more high school students are choosing to volunteer and do internships to burnish their college applications. But the Northeastern researchers said a large number of youths had been left out of the work force and wanted to get back in.

The forecast for this summer is so dire that high school students took to the streets this year in Washington, Boston and New York to push lawmak-

ers to come up with money for summer youth jobs programs as Congress did last year, allocating $1.2 billion for a program for low-income youths.

On Friday, the House passed a measure that included the summer jobs provision, though its future in the Senate this week is uncertain.

The Northeastern researchers estimated that another $1 billion federal infusion would create some 300,000 job slots this summer, barely putting a dent in the demand for jobs.

Still, those types of positions are desperately needed, said Neil Sullivan, executive director of the Boston Private Industry Council, which works with private and public employers to place students.

While cities like Boston and New York have had to cut summer youth jobs programs, Cincinnati has maintained a $1 million budget for its youth initiative the last few years because of the mayor’s commitment to the program, according to Jason Barron of the mayor’s office.

About 700 high school and college-age youths will be hired to create murals, landscape, work in the parks department, serve as junior counselors and intern at neighborhood recreation centers, he said.

COCC asks county to lift deed restriction Bulletin staff report Central Oregon Community College is asking Deschutes County Commissioners to remove a deed restriction on part of the college’s property that says the land is to be used “for college purposes.” Otherwise, COCC would have difficulty moving ahead with its plans for a mixeduse campus village, including businesses to help support the college.

“COCC strongly believes that all of the activities and development planned for the Campus Village Area will be directly or indirectly tied to the public educational mission of the college,” wrote Matthew McCoy, COCC’s vice president for administration.

“However, in individual cases, a specific lease or development proposal could arguably run counter to this restriction.”

In 1962, when the county essentially donated 10 acres to the Central Oregon Education District for $10, the deed specified the land was “for college purposes.”

The county land donation was part of other land donations to get the school off the ground.

Construction on college facilities began in 1963. And the first three buildings on the campus — Deschutes, Ochoco and Modoc — were completed by spring of 1964.

Of course, a lot has changed since then. Most notably, enrollment has grown by 85 percent in the past three years.

Ceremony honors area veterans

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

It’s been 65 years since Phil Bellefeuille fought on Iwo Jima, a Japanese island that was the scene of a 36-day battle that left more than 6,800 Americans dead.

But the memories of what happened there — and elsewhere in his service during World War II — are still fresh enough to bring the 86-year-old Bend man to tears.

On Monday, Bellefeuille turned out for a Memorial Day ceremony at Deschutes Memorial Gardens in Bend, one of several events held around Central Oregon to mark the holiday. With a few hundred other people who attended the event, he listened to speeches from local veterans, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley and Brig. Gen. Charles Yriarte of the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and watched as representatives from several local groups placed wreaths on a veterans’ memorial.

Improve billing The goal of the meter project is to improve billing and accounting efficiency for customers as energy rates rise. Though it may be some time before customers see any changes, one of the driving forces behind the project is to allow members to monitor their own energy consumption from home with up-to-date information. Customers would have the ability to do this either through an in-home display installed by CEC, or through an online password-protected account depending on what the company decides is more efficient for consumers.

This, in turn, will help CEC’s 24,600 customers make better energy consumption choices and may help them save money.

“Our members aren’t going to be seeing anything soon,” said Guggenheim, “It will be some time before the meters are switched out, and years before the program will be implemented.”

Grant allows for smarter CEC meters Central Electric Cooperative announced last Thursday it will receive a grant of $4.65 million enabling it to give its customers in Central and Eastern Oregon smart meters that will provide them with up-to-date information about their energy usage. The grant will fund half of the project, which is expected to last five years.

“There’s a strong trend to give customers more tools to monitor their energy usage,” said CEC’s Member Services Director Alan Guggenheim.

The funding will allow CEC to replace more than 30,000 existing meters with advanced metering technology. The grant was actually awarded to CEC from the Department of Energy last October, but was accepted on Thursday after the company determined that it possessed the technical expertise and personnel to undertake such a project.

Important but painful After the ceremony, Bellefeuille, who served with the U.S. Marines, said the holiday is important, but can be painful.

Standing in the cemetery, listening to a bugler sound taps, brings back a flood of memories, he said. Bad ones.

He closed his eyes and blinked back tears.

“This will bring back memories for quite some time,” he said.

Others who attended the event said they were also thinking about friends they lost in war.

“It’s a time to pause and reflect on the people I served with who didn’t make it, and be thankful I did,” said Bend resident Jerry Johnson, 65. He said he served with the Marines for more than three decades, including in Vietnam.

Oregon walking away from ‘Race to Top’ millions

Farmer Jim Evonuk walks through his rain-soaked strawberry field southeast of Eugene. Late-season storms are delaying this year’s crop. Growers say they’re hoping for a dry stretch of weather so the fruit ripens and they can begin picking in the next week or two.

A soggy berry season Excessive rains delay strawberry harvest in state

By Tim Christie The Register-Guard

EUGENE — As farmer Jim Evonuk walked through his muddy field of strawberries on Seavey Loop Road last week, stomping through puddles between rows, a steady drizzle falling from a steel-gray sky turned suddenly into a pelting downpour, sending Evonuk to the shelter of his barn.

“We’ve had enough rain,” he said. “If we have another week or 10 days of this, it will cease to be fun.”

A cool, wet spring is to blame for a slow-growing crop of Oregon strawberries. Growers say they’re hoping for a dry stretch of weather so the fruit ripens and they can begin picking in the next week or two.

For many Oregonians, the sweet, succulent red berries are an iconic fruit and harbinger of summer, eaten in pies, on ice cream, on shortcake and out of hand. A particularly rainy May hasn’t yet posed a serious threat to the fruit, but if the wet weather continues, crops could suffer.

“I think it looks like a pretty good crop if we ever get started,” said Matt Unger, a member of the Oregon Strawberry Commission who grows the fruit on 50 acres in

A ripe strawberry in Evonuk’s rain-soaked field is seen before the harvest.

Cornelius, west of Portland. “The rain’s delaying it and making it harder to get out and get things done.”

Once they ripen, strawberries need warm dry weather or they rot quickly, said Ross Penhallegon, an OSU Extension agent for Lane County.

“Strawberries look really good,” he said. “It’s going to be late, but we got good strawberries coming on.”

The first crop of strawberries should be ready to pick within the next two weeks, he said. The cool weather should mean an extended harvest, he said.

“They’re still blooming,” he said. “The question is, have the bees been able to get out long enough between the rain to do

pollinating? We’ll have to wait to know for sure.”

Among small fruits, strawberries trail only blueberries in Lane County in terms of acreage and value. Last year, growers harvested 3.5 tons of strawberries in Lane County, grown on 95 acres, with a sales value of $496,000, according to Oregon State University Extension Service. Strawberries are Oregon’s 42nd most valuable agricultural commodity, with gross sales last year of $12.9 million.

Oregon farmers are growing far fewer strawberries than they used to, however. In 1970, they produced 71.5 million pounds. In 2000, the yield was down to 35.3 million pounds. Last year, it was down to 20.1 million pounds.

Unger, the strawberry commissioner, said the market for frozen berries — where most Oregon strawberries end up — has declined.

“Prices are doing better on different crops,” he said. “We’re trying to turn that around.”

This year’s yield should be similar to last year’s, he said.

Last week, most of the berries in Evonuk’s strawberry field were still green, with a smattering of ripening red fruit, spattered with mud.

“We wouldn’t want this (rain) when we’re ready to harvest,” Evonuk said.

It’s not good for the berries, and customers won’t come out to pick if it’s rainy, he said.

Jared Henderson is in charge of field operations at Thistledown Farms, his family’s farm on River Road. He’s also ready for the rains to let up.

“With strawberries, we grow them on the ground and the rain splashes dirt on them. It makes them dirtier than they otherwise might be,” he said.

Penhallegon said other crops, such as wine grapes and hazelnuts, appear to be doing fine in the rain, but as with strawberries, harvests are likely to be delayed.

And for home gardeners, the cool spring means they might not be eating tomatoes and peppers until August, he said.

“Last year, it was the same thing,” he said. “It’s looking like a fairly carbon copy of last year.”

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “He who talks much cannot always talk well.”

MINNEAPOLIS — About two dozen states are going back to Washington for another shot at billions in education grants under the “Race to the Top” program, but at least nine others with more than 7 million children are opting out of trying a second time.

For them, a chance at hundreds of millions of dollars wasn’t enough to overcome the opposition of teachers unions, the wariness of state leaders to pass laws to suit the program and fears of giving up too much local control.

Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming will all be on the sidelines for the second round, along with a handful of other states that didn’t apply the first time. So far only two states, Delaware and Tennessee, have been approved for the money.

‘That Sweet 16’ Michael Petrilli, an education analyst at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a nonpartisan Washington, D.C.-based think tank, noted that none of the nine states opting out were among the 16 finalists in the first round.

“If you didn’t get into that Sweet 16 the first time around and you couldn’t get a serious reform bill passed, you didn’t have a very good shot,” he said.

This could be the last time “Race to the Top” money is given out. The U.S. Education Department will probably dole out the remaining nearly $4 billion in the second round and, Petrilli said, it’s unlikely Congress will allocate more.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the department was “thrilled with the level of participation we’ve seen” and the reforms enacted by the states that did apply “makes them all winners when it comes to furthering the state of education for our kids.”

In Minnesota and Indiana, fights between the Republican governors and the teachers unions derailed applications.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and his education commissioner, Alice Seagren, blamed the state’s teachers union for thwarting changes in the Legislature that would have made a grant application more competitive. Seagren said the state had been “bought and sold” by the union’s influence.

In Kansas and Wyoming, state officials worried about giving up too much local control.

Virginia officials decided their academic standards were better than the ones contemplated in the grant.

State officials and legislators in West Virginia, Idaho, Oregon and South Dakota either couldn’t pass an education reform package to conform with requirements in time or decided not to even try to beat the Tuesday deadline.

“Race to the Top” aims to boost student achievement by rewarding states for adopting a slate of education reforms, including adopting common academic standards across state lines, tying teacher pay and tenure to student achievement, fixing failing schools and creating data systems to track student performance.

Delaware and Tennessee were the only states to win grants in the first round, splitting $600 million.

O Tsunami-proof City Hall?

OSU working to keep Cannon Beach building on dry ground

By Abby Haight The Associated Press

CORVALLIS — An Oregon coastal town hopes to put its new City Hall on stilts and become the first U.S. city to raise a municipal building to withstand the major earthquake and tsunami that scientists say are coming sooner rather than later.

City officials and emergency workers hope the building in Cannon Beach will also raise a sense of urgency in the Pacific Northwest about the jeopardy coastal residents and visitors face.

Geological findings in recent years suggest there’s a one-inthree chance that in the next half century a mega-earthquake will tear the seafloor off the Oregon Coast apart.

Huge waves would surge onto coastal communities in as little as 15 minutes. There isn’t a coastwide estimate of potential lives lost and damage, but about 100,000 Oregonians live in tsunami inundation zones. Many more visit the coast.

1,500 saved lives The $4 million building the city proposes in Cannon Beach would have room for as many as 1,500 people, and could save lives.

The 2004 Sumatra tsunami, which killed almost 230,000 people, galvanized federal emergency planners and coastal communities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sent

Grad student Seth Thomas works on a Cannon Beach model before conducting a wave test at the Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory on the Oregon State campus in Corvallis on last week. Testing is now under way in the Tsunami Wave Basin at Oregon State University on a model of the proposed Cannon Beach city hall structure. engineers to learn what buildings withstood the earthquake — measured at magnitude 9.1 to 9.3 — and cataclysmic waves.

They found that buildings on stilts, without impediments that increased the stress of the onrushing water, often survived, said Jenifer Rhoades, tsunami program manager for the National Weather Service. The Cannon Beach structure would be the first “vertical evacuation site” built in the United States, she said.

Japan has built several of the buildings but they’ve never been tested.

The permanent population of Cannon Beach is about 1,700, but its beaches and art galleries draw an estimated 750,000 visitors annually.

“Imagine a July 4 weekend

with an additional 200,000 people at the coast,” said James Roddey of Oregon’s geology agency.

“That’s a lot of folks who don’t know what to do if the ground starts shaking.”

Learning from Chile The Feb. 27 earthquake and tsunami in Chile, which killed about 525 people, gave officials in Cannon Beach and the Pacific Northwest a chill. The two regions are similar geologically and have similar coastal development.

“Tidal waves have always been on our tongue,” said Sam Steidel, a gallery owner and City Council member in Cannon Beach. “But Chile really showed what would happen to communities like Can-

non Beach.”

Cannon Beach is working with Oregon State University to design its proposed 9,800square-foot City Hall. Recently at a university lab in Corvallis, city leaders and representatives of several other coastal communities watched simulated waves crash against a model of the city hall building.

Washington and Oregon state experts say it could become a model for other communities. Local officials say it will be a center for tsunami education as well as refuge when the wave comes.

“We can’t keep the tsunamis from happening,” said Clatsop County Commissioner Robert Mushen. “But we can tell you where to go. We can tell you what to do. We can keep you safe.”

O B Shakespeare Festival reports strong sales

Lane was not hurt and has been placed on administrative leave.

ASHLAND — Oregon Shakespeare Festival officials say that despite the recession, sales this spring are up 8 percent over last year.

Executive Director Paul Nicholson tells The Ashland Daily Tidings that the festival had expected a drop in sales. But so far, it’s sold 7,500 more tickets than in 2009’s record season. Last year, the festival had the highest attendance and revenue in its then 74-year history — more than 410,000 theatergoers and tickets worth $17 million.

The festival’s outdoor Elizabethan Stage opens Tuesday, when previews of “Twelfth Night” begin.

Portland police shoot dog that mauled man PORTLAND — Portland police say they shot a pit bull to death Monday morning after the dog mauled a man and bit a woman.

The Police Bureau says in a news release that officers responded to the southeast Portland neighborhood and found the dog atop the man. The man asked them to shoot at it, and the dog fled after an officer fired a shot.

As medical responders treated the man, a second officer followed the dog. When the animal turned on him, he fired and killed it.

Police say the man is at a hospital with severe but not life-threatening injuries. A woman suffered puncture wounds but did not go to the hospital.

Police trooper shoots man with knife Canby man killed MILWAUKIE — Oregon in truck accident State Police say a trooper shot a man who had a knife after confronting him near Milwaukie.

A police news release says authorities received a report Sunday afternoon of a reckless driver who had stopped his car at an Interstate 205 onramp, then ran across the freeway.

Trooper Justin Lane approached the man and fired at least twice after the man displayed a knife and wouldn’t comply with orders. Officers say 37-year-old Scott Lee Campbell is in serious condition at a Portland hospital.

Investigators say relatives told them Campbell was despondent over a recent family death and had been drinking.

PORTLAND — A Canby man died from injuries sustained when the pickup truck he was driving overturned on the east side of Oregon 211 near milepost 21.

Troopers said Sunday that Cody Allen Loop was killed in the accident.

His passenger, Timothy L. Buyes, of Molalla, was found seriously injured about 100 feet away from the vehicle. Loop died at the scene.

Notorious rapist seeks parole

By Alan Gustafson Statesman Journal

SALEM — A notorious Oregon serial rapist is making a new pitch for parole.

Richard Gillmore, the “Jogger Rapist,” is scheduled to come up for parole consideration again June 9 before the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision.

The looming hearing at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem will open a new chapter in one of the most controversial cases in parole board history.

Gillmore’s victims and other people who oppose his release describe him as a cunning, dangerous sociopath who belongs behind bars.

“If he gets out and he’s not happy in a relationship or he’s not getting attention from women or if he just starts kind of going into those thought processes, there will be another Tiffany,” said Tiffany Edens, who was 13 when Gillmore broke into her Portland-area home and raped her in December 1986.

Gillmore, 50, describes himself as a changed man, transformed by Christian faith, selfhelp books and prison treatment programs.

In a new self-authored parole plan, Gillmore vows to lead a crime-free life if he gets released from prison.

“Having grown spiritually, in awareness, honesty and empathy, I have the skills to live responsibly and respectfully,” he states. “This is a life that can be summed up in the statement, ‘You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.’”

Edens said his words ring hollow.

“Just words from his mouth are not going to change who he is, and it’s not going to stop him,” she said. “He’s smarter now. He knows what he needs to say in order to play the part. But he is still not empathetic to me or any of the other victims. It’s still about him.”

Gillmore won’t be attending the upcoming parole hearing in Salem. He is scheduled to testify via closed-circuit television from the Two Rivers Correctional In-

“He will inevitably get out. He can’t be stopped forever. I need to come to terms with that. You know, that’s tough.”

— Tiffany Edens, rape victim stitution in Umatilla.

That’s disappointing for Rebecca Edens-Ahsing, mother of Tiffany Edens.

“I wanted to look him in the face,” she said.

Edens-Ahsing plans to testify against Gillmore’s parole. But her daughter plans to skip the hearing, citing trauma connected to her past activism in the case.

“I literally had to relive that night, almost on a daily basis for a while,” Tiffany Edens said. “So I’m suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. That just really means I have bad dreams, high anxiety, and I’m trying to work through it now as a functioning adult and a parent rather than as a 14-year-old who tried to bury it.”

‘I’m not trying to run away’ Edens added: “I’m not trying to run away from it. I don’t want him out. I just don’t want to get as involved as I was. I can’t revisit that night to that degree.”

After Gillmore was arrested for raping Edens, he admitted to at least seven other sexual attacks in the Portland area in the 1970s and ’80s. The “Jogger Rapist” label stemmed from his practice of hunting for victims while jogging.

Gillmore wasn’t prosecuted for the other rapes because they were too old under Oregon’s then-applicable three-year statute of limitations.

In the Edens case, a judge sentenced Gillmore to 60 years in prison, with a 30-year minimum.

However, a parole board cut his sentence in half in 1988, less than a year after he was convicted.

The parole board rejected

Gillmore’s requests for release in 2001, 2003 and 2005.

In September 2007, the board green-lighted him for parole.

Edens didn’t know he had been granted parole until after the board approved releasing him.

At her request, the board held a second hearing in October 2007, giving her a chance to testify.

The board stuck to its earlier decision: Gillmore remained dangerous but could be adequately controlled with supervision and treatment in the community.

In a last-ditch appeal, Edens and the Multnomah County district attorney’s office sued the board to block Gillmore’s release. A Marion County judge ruled that the board had committed several procedural errors, including failing to give Edens proper notice about hearings and failing to provide a full written explanation for its decision to free Gillmore, despite finding that he was still dangerous.

A new parole hearing emerged from an out-of-court settlement.

At that hearing, in June 2008, Edens vividly described how her carefree childhood was shattered when Gillmore invaded her home and sexually assaulted her.

Gillmore testified that he profoundly regretted his crimes: “I don’t even have enough words to describe what I’ve done. I have to live with this shame.”

After the all-day hearing, the board reversed its two previous decisions and denied Gillmore’s bid for freedom.

In the wake of the controversial case, the parole board’s procedures were reviewed by a committee that included victim advocates, prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys and others.

Edens said some positive changes occurred, but most of the work group’s recommendations weren’t heeded. “For them to not do anything with those in 18 months is appalling,” she said.

“It’s like a slap in the face again.”

Though Edens opposes Gillmore’s latest bid for parole, she expects him to be freed someday.

“He will inevitably get out,” she said. “He can’t be stopped forever. I need to come to terms with that. You know, that’s tough.”

New grad rates will prove useful

D

o you need an advanced degree to understand high school graduation rates these days, or does it seem that way only to us?

The Oregon Department of Education recently released gradu-

ation rates for the 2008-2009 school year using two methods. The first method is the one Oregon and other states have used for years.

The second, required by the federal government, will soon become the national standard. The data overload is due largely to the fact that this is a transitional year.

Under the old standard, Oregon’s graduation rate was 85.1 percent.

Under the new standard, the state’s graduation rate was 66.2 percent.

Despite appearances, the difference between the two rates has nothing to do with dropouts. The state hasn’t changed the way it calculates the dropout rate, which was 3.4 percent in 2008-2009.

Rather, the graduation rates differ because they measure very different things. To create the old rate, you take the number of kids who graduate with a regular diploma in a given year. Then you divide it by that number plus the number of kids who drop out in that year in grades nine through 12.

This rate — 85 percent — is reassuringly high. Problem is, a lot of kids don’t graduate with a regular diploma. Some get GEDs. Some receive adult high school diplomas.

Some also receive modified diplomas, which don’t require students to meet the same academic standards as those earning a regular diploma.

The old graduation-rate formula essentially ignores these students.

They’re pulled out of the diploma count and, thus, don’t affect the rate for better or for worse.

The new rate effectively penalizes districts for their alternativediploma counts. But that’s inevitable given what the new rate measures.

To calculate the new rate, you take a “cohort” (or group) of students who enter high school in a given year.

Then you figure out how many of them earn regular diplomas in four years, adjusting for students who die and those who transfer in and out. You divide the second number by the first, which in Oregon’s case yields a 66.2 percent graduation rate. People who receive modified diplomas, GEDs and so forth are considered nongraduates, which largely explains the big gap between the old rate and the new rate.

This shift is very confusing. It’s potentially alarming to parents and taxpayers, who might mistake the lower rate as an indication of lower school performance. It’s also a potential headache for school officials, who have to explain to angry parents and taxpayers why their graduation rates have dropped off a cliff.

Given such disruption, why in

the world is the federal government forcing states to use the new method? Oregon’s explanation is accurate enough, we suppose, but it’s a masterpiece of dry bureaucratese: “to provide a more consistent means of reporting graduation rates resulting in greater comparability between states’ results.” Snore.

To appreciate the value of the new rate, it helps to start with a question: What is it we want high schools to do? Presumably, we want them to teach students enough stuff in four years to earn a regular diploma. That’s exactly what the new rate measures and what the old rate does not.

Of course, no measure of school performance is perfect. Graduation rates between individual schools and between states will vary for reasons those schools and states can’t control. Moreover, as the Oregon Department of Education points out, diploma requirements will continue to vary by state.

But the old method of calculating graduation rates has its flaws, too. Ultimately, Americans will be served better by the calculation that pushes schools harder to do what taxpayers and parents want. If Oregonians discover a few years from now that a lot more kids in Washington state earn regular diplomas in four years than their peers here, they’ll demand some answers — and some changes.

When state lawmakers and education officials mention the federal government’s role in public schools, they usually focus on one of two things: Their insatiable appetite for more federal money and their resentment of federal regulations that compromise state and local control.

But the federal government is more than a source of money and red tape.

It’s also an increasingly important source of meaningful information.

The Obama administration’s Race to the Top competition, for instance, allowed Oregonians to compare the state’s environment for innovation with those in other states.

We now know how sadly deficient we are. The “cohort” calculation, when fully adopted nationwide, will do the same for graduation rates.

This information might please Oregonians, and it might further depress them. Either way, it’s a lot better than ignorance.

Fix our immigration message R

ipped from the news: Haitians are illegally crossing into Vermont from Canada, looking for work.

Why didn’t the Haitians stay in Canada, where the social safety net is far cushier? Because, as the head of a Haitian radio station in Montreal told The New York Times, “they saw that they had no chance to become Canadian permanent residents.” And, he added, “people thought that the United States were going to receive all the Haitians.”

What do we take home from this?

First off, porous borders are not the biggest reason that illegal immigration has become such a huge problem in the United States. Note that while President Obama is sending up to 1,200 National Guard troops to secure the border with Mexico, there are no troops, rivers or even fences along most of the U.S.-Canadian border. Some country roads mark the boundary with a simple stone.

True, illegal immigrants can walk into the United States from Mexico. The logistics are easier in the American Southwest. But there are plenty of illegal workers in Washington state, Michigan and Maine — and little stopping them from going on to Canada.

Our northern neighbor has a large immigration program but little illegal immigration, because Ottawa won’t tolerate it.

No country with generous entitlements can afford a growing population of lowincome workers.

Canada tweaks its immigration program to meet economic needs. It favors

FROMA HARROP entrants with highly desirable skills. And when the economy recently turned sour, it stopped renewing many temporary work permits.

Should America do as Canada does?

Should it stringently enforce its ban on hiring illegal workers? Yes. And should it stop fretting over what happens to undocumented people already in the country? Yes, but not yet.

What separates the United States from Canada on illegal immigration is a consistent message. America’s landmark 1986 immigration reform law banned the hiring of illegal workers while granting amnesty to several million already here.

But it was purposely rendered toothless at the last minute, when saboteurs yanked out a provision requiring a secure check of job applicants’ identities.

Talk about messages. Suppose you’re an impoverished Mexican. You know that the United States has offered several amnesties to illegal workers, and in any case, hasn’t much enforced the law.

You heard President George W. Bush announce that he was going to “match any willing worker with any willing employer.” And you know that the conservative Wall Street Journal has called

for open borders, while the liberal New York Times runs editorials on immigration that refuse to distinguish between legal and illegal.

What would you do? You would come to the United States, papers be damned.

We’ve had several decades of a twofaced immigration policy during which millions have come to this country illegally, taken jobs, started families and become part of the American scene.

They are mostly good people who have been integrated into our economy and communities. There must be a last amnesty to cover them.

And it will be the last one if two things happen: One, we pass immigration reform that requires every new hire to present a counterfeit-proof ID. Two, the public demands that their government go after law-breaking employers.

After virtually no enforcement in the Bush years, the Obama administration has begun to cite and fine employers who break the law. This is needed to move public opinion toward an immigration package that includes legalizing many already here. Sending troops to the border may also boost confidence.

But as Canada shows us, it’s not the ease of crossing the border that encourages illegal immigration, but the ease of getting a job once in. The United States needs to get its act together and its message straight on immigration.

Enlightenment battles live on in American politics W

hen I was in college I took a course in the Enlightenment.

In those days, when people spoke of the Enlightenment, they usually meant the French Enlightenment — thinkers like Descartes, Rousseau, Voltaire and Condorcet.

These were philosophers who confronted a world of superstition and feudalism and sought to expose it to the clarifying light of reason. Inspired by the scientific revolution, they had great faith in the power of individual reason to detect error and logically arrive at universal truth.

Their great model was Descartes.

He aimed to begin human understanding anew. He’d discard the accumulated prejudices of the past and build from the ground up, erecting one logical certainty upon another.

What Descartes was doing for knowledge, others would do for politics: sweep away the old precedents and write new constitutions based on reason. This was the aim of the French Revolution.

But there wasn’t just one Enlightenment, headquartered in France. There was another, headquartered in Scotland

and Britain and led by David Hume, Adam Smith and Edmund Burke. As Gertrude Himmelfarb wrote in her 2004 book, “The Roads to Modernity,” if the members of the French Enlightenment focused on the power of reason, members of the British Enlightenment emphasized its limits.

They put more emphasis on our sentiments. People are born with natural desires to be admired and to be worthy of admiration. They are born with moral emotions, a sense of fair play and benevolence. They are also born with darker passions, like self-love and tribalism, which mar rationalist enterprises. We are emotional creatures first and foremost, and politics should not forget that.

These two views of human nature produced different attitudes toward political change, articulated most brilliantly by Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke. Their views are the subject of a superb dissertation by Yuval Levin at the University of Chicago called “The Great Law of Change.”

As Levin shows, Paine believed that societies exist in an “eternal now.” That something has existed for ages tells us

DAVID BROOKS nothing about its value. The past is dead and the living should use their powers of analysis to sweep away existing arrangements when necessary, and begin the world anew. He even suggested that laws should expire after 30 years so each new generation could begin again.

Paine saw the American and French Revolutions as models for his sort of radical change. In each country, he felt, the revolutionaries deduced certain universal truths about the rights of man and then designed a new society to fit them.

Burke, a participant in the British Enlightenment, had a different vision of change. He believed that each generation is a small part of a long chain of history. We serve as trustees for the wisdom of the ages and are obliged to pass it down, a little improved, to our descen-

dents. That wisdom fills the gaps in our own reason, as age-old institutions implicitly contain more wisdom than any individual could have.

Burke was horrified at the thought that individuals would use abstract reason to sweep away arrangements that had stood the test of time. He believed in continual reform, but reform is not novelty. You don’t try to change the fundamental substance of an institution. You try to modify from within, keeping the good parts and adjusting the parts that aren’t working.

If you try to re-engineer society on the basis of abstract plans, Burke argued, you’ll end up causing all sorts of fresh difficulties, because the social organism is more complicated than you can possibly know. We could never get things right from scratch.

Burke also supported the American Revolution, but saw it in a different light than Paine. He believed the British Parliament had recklessly trampled upon the ancient liberties the colonists had come to enjoy. The Americans were seeking to preserve what they had.

We Americans have never figured out

whether we are children of the French or the British Enlightenment. Was our founding a radical departure or an act of preservation? This was a bone of contention between Jefferson and Hamilton, and it’s a bone of contention today, both between parties and within each one.

Today, if you look around American politics you see self-described conservative radicals who seek to sweep away 100 years of history and return government to its preindustrial role. You see self-confident Democratic technocrats who have tremendous faith in the power of government officials to use reason to control and reorganize complex systems. You see polemicists of the left and right practicing a highly abstract and ideological Jacobin style of politics.

The children of the British Enlightenment are in retreat. Yet there is the stubborn fact of human nature. The Scots were right, and the French were wrong.

And out of that truth grows a style of change, a style that emphasizes modesty, gradualism and balance.

O Sculptor Bourgeois dies

By Michael O’Sullivan The Washington Post

Louise Bourgeois, a Frenchborn American artist and feminist trailblazer celebrated for sculptures that mined her own past for their highly personal — and often disturbingly psychosexual — subject matter, died Monday at a hospital in Manhattan after a heart attack. She was 98.

Memory was her most constant muse.

Bourgeois’ works, which are in the permanent collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and many other institutions, typically grappled with themes of sex and the body, violence and depression, marriage and motherhood, and aging and childhood.

During a career spanning more than seven decades, Bourgeois came to be best known for a series of giant, benevolent spiders, inspired by the artist’s beloved mother Josephine, who was a weaver.

One such arachnid, the size of a jungle gym, in shimmering, silver-nitrate-coated bronze, has been on display for more than a decade in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden. Along with Magdalena Abakanowicz and Coosje van Bruggen, Bourgeois was one of only three women, out of 18 modern and contemporary sculptors, whose art is included in the garden.

Often lumped among the artists of the surrealist movement — a designation that the unconventional artist bristled at — Bourgeois’ art made frequent use of body parts and hybrid, sometimes amputated figures. It was, she often said, an expression of her attempts to come to terms with painful episodes in her life.

One trauma in particular made a lasting impression.

When Bourgeois was a girl, her father, Louis, began a decade-long affair with his daughter’s teen-age

English tutor, someone Louise considered her close friend. “For too many years,” the artist would later write, “I was frustrated in my terrific desire to twist the neck of this person.”

That sense of betrayal and dysfunction would crop up throughout Bourgeois’ work. In 1974, she created an almost theatrical installation piece titled “The Destruction of the Father.” Illuminat-

Philadelphia beer baron dies at 76

By Liz Robbins New York Times News Service

William H. Pflaumer, a streetsmart Philadelphia beer baron who turned the 116-year-old Christian Schmidt and Sons Inc. brewery into one of the nation’s largest, only to see it close after he was sent to federal prison for tax evasion, died on May 22 in Philadelphia. He was 76.

The cause was heart failure, said Lauren Pflaumer, a granddaughter.

Pflaumer bought the Schmidt brewery in 1976, and by 1983 it was producing more than 3 million barrels a year, making it the ninth-largest brewery in the United States.

Schmidt’s beer was nothing fancy, but it was popular on draught in taverns, said Rich Wagner, a Philadelphia beer historian and craft brewer. He called it “a good representation of what American light lager was at the time.” It was also sold at ballparks, including Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and at Yankee Stadium.

But after more than a decade of criminal investigations into his practices and allegations of ties to organized crime, Pflaumer was convicted in 1983 of a false billing scheme in which he had evaded paying $125,000 in excise taxes in three states. He

COCC Continued from C1 The campus had more than 18,000 students in the 2009-2010 academic year. And while that enrollment has grown, state support of COCC has dropped off.

COCC has been trying to find ways to continue to meet the educational demand. The plans for the campus village were hatched.

The first building planned for the village will be the Cascade

sold the brewery to a Wisconsin company in 1986, when, after his appeals had failed, he began serving a three-year sentence.

Schmidt’s closed its factory, on Second and Hancock streets, in 1987, the first time in 300 years that no beer was made in Philadelphia. The factory was razed in 2002 and has been replaced by a condominium, restaurant and entertainment complex called Piazza at Schmidt’s.

William Harris Pflaumer was born on July 8, 1933, in the rowhouse neighborhood of Kensington. He began distributing beer to local bars for his father, William, by age 13. He entered the trucking business after graduating from Northeast High School. Pflaumer, known as Billy, argued with his father about expansion plans and left to start his own business in 1959 with one used truck and $3,000, his son Robert said.

Pflaumer’s legal troubles caught up with him in the 1980s, a period of decline for Schmidt’s, when the company was finding it increasingly hard to compete with national brands. Pflaumer, who typically wore dark aviator sunglasses because of a congenital eye defect, was described as “the shadowy lord of the Philadelphia beer business” by The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Culinary Institute. It is to be the hub of a regional culinary arts program. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer.

New facilities planned COCC’s future plans include developing a mix of facilities on a 40-acre parcel at the northeast corner of Mt. Washington Drive and Shevlin Park Road and the 15-acre parcel to the south of that intersection. But the deed restriction is in the way.

ed with a macabre red light — the artist’s signature color — its fleshy forms of latex and plaster suggest a man’s dismembered body, laid out on the dinner table.

In a 2006 review of an exhibition of Bourgeois’ work, Washington Post art critic Paul Richard called her “the queen of nerves rubbed raw.” If her art seemed at times like a form of therapy, it was one for which the artist never

sought closure.

In 1982, on the occasion of her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art — the first at the New York museum dedicated to a woman — Bourgeois explained the role of memory in her art, and what might have seemed to some as compulsive licking of old wounds: “Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it,” she wrote in Artforum magazine..

ALI-OLLIE WOODSON, 1951 - 2010

Reading Continued from C1 Sally and Eric Oppliger, wearing U.S. Navy sweatshirts, arrived early to listen to the names and search the lists for Matthew W. Clark, 22, of St. Louis, who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq.

Clark was good friends with their son Philip Oppliger, 26, of Bend, a medic who served about six months in Afghanistan and about six months in Iraq. They took a picture of Clark’s name to send to Philip.

They were fighting tears.

“They’re not just names, not just numbers, they’re kids,” Sally Oppliger said, trembling.

They aren’t all kids. The first American to die was Evander E. Andrews, 36, of Solon, Maine. Steven Hutchison, of Scottsdale, Ariz., was 60.

But most of those whose names were read died young.

The names convey diversity: Daniel T. O’Leary, 23, of Youngsville, N.C. Keiffer Wilhelm, 19, of Plymouth, Ohio.

Qi Xin, 25, of Cordova, Tenn.

Roberto D. Sanchez, 24, of Satellite Beach, Fla. Most of those honored were men — but not all.

“Jessica A. Ellis, 24. Bend, Oregon.”

Thump.

And as the scroll piles up on the ground, there are many, many names.

Ceremony Continued from C1 Bob Pfeifer, 75, of Bend, served in the Navy in the late 1950s. He said he’s attended the ceremony for the last five years because he wants to remember family members and others who served in the military.

“It’s just such a patriotic thing,” he said. “I had quite a few uncles who served in World War II, and being involved with the military, it’s very important.”

Mary McFarland, 43, an Army veteran who fought in the first Gulf War, brought her children, 11-year-old Will Stabe and 9-year-old Anna Stabe.

She said Memorial Day has always been a big deal for her family, which has a history of serving with the military all the way back to the American Revolution — and a chance to

to do away with the restriction.

McCoy said the county’s original intent of the donation has been well served and will continue to be well served by releasing the restriction.

“The release of this restriction will facilitate the long-term growth and development of the campus. ...” McCoy wrote.

County Administrator Dave Kanner believes that without a change in the deed restriction COCC would be unable to sell the property or obtain financing for the planned im-

provements. He wrote the commissioners in a letter that the meeting minutes from 1962 do not give a clear picture of what the commissioners meant by including the restriction. He said there may have been concern that COCC was a start-up that might fail.

County staff support COCC’s request and commissioners are scheduled to discuss the issue at a work session scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the county building, 1300 N.W. Wall St., Bend.

Continued from C1 Guggenheim said that the company will have logistical planning to do, such as executing vendor contracts, before the program gets going.

CEC will keep members informed about the upcoming changes with local meetings, school presentations and information sent through the mail.

The $4.6 million grant is part of a larger grant awarded to Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative to implement a smart grid system across seven states.

“This is a trend that is important and necessary to the future,” said Guggenheim.

as cause of death. Since 2001, 1,087 have died in Afghanistan. Since 2003, 4,400 have died in Iraq.

The military and the media dutifully report the numbers, as on Friday when The Associated Press reported the death toll in Afghanistan had reached “the 1,000 mark.”

That’s the kind of story that inspired Tracy Miller and other locals to organize the first reading three years ago.

Miller said the service should remind people that statistics represent ordinary Americans.

The reading has never attracted a big crowd, but it’s meant a lot to some of those who showed up. The first year, a Madras woman drove down to read her brother’s name: Christopher W. Dickison, 26.

Last year, a father with a son serving in Iraq volunteered but backed out because he became too emotional to read.

The ceremony is not political, Miller said, although she does not support the wars and has demonstrated at the intersection of Wall Street and Greenwood Avenue, dubbed the “Peace Corner.”

The act of reading the names out loud has an impact, she said, as does realizing that the fallen are from every state and how old or how young they were. The reading has also introduced her to people whose friends or family were killed.

She said she plans to organize the reading every year until the U.S. pulls troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and the death toll stops.

Anna said she’s proud of her family’s history and enjoys marking the holiday each year.

“I love to remember the people before me who served for me,” she said. “That’s really huge for me.”

Several veterans said they were pleased to see so many people in attendance at the event.

EUGENE — The Oregon Ducks earned a trip to the NCAA tournament in just the second season since the team’s return from a 28-year hiatus.

The Ducks (38-22) will travel to the Norwich Regional and open against host Connecticut (47-14) on Friday.

The third-seeded Ducks and second-seeded Huskies are joined by top-seeded Florida State and No. 4 seed Central Connecticut.

In the early game on Friday at Dodd Stadium, Florida State (42-17), the ACC Tournament Champion, will take on Central Connecticut State University (33-21), who won the Northeast Conference tournament.

It is Oregon’s first trip to the postseason since 1964, when the team went to the District VIII playoffs.

The Associated Press CORVALLIS — The Oregon State Beavers, who won the back-to-back College World Series titles in 2006 and 2007 but were widely considered a bubble team for this year’s tournament, won an atlarge bid Monday to the postseason.

The Beavers will open on Friday at the Gainesville Regional against Florida Atlantic.

Oregon State (31-22) is making its fifth postseason appearance in the past six seasons.

“Obviously, we are excited for the chance to extend our season,” coach Pat Casey said. “This team fought hard to overcome a rough patch midway through the season. They deserve this opportunity.”

Brady Clark was a major-leaguer, a slugger and an outfielder. A yogi he is not — or so he says, anyway.

Clark, a 37-year-old Portland native who two years ago moved to Bend with his wife, Sara, spent nine years on the road playing for five Major League Baseball teams: the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Mets, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

His best season was with the Brewers, in 2005, when in 145 games he hit for a .306 average with 183 hits, 94 runs scored, 31 doubles, 13 home runs, 53 runs batted in and 10 stolen bases.

Now, Clark is retired from baseball and is settling into Central Oregon with his family of four. Through his wife’s inspiration and persuasion, the two have opened a yoga studio in Bend. It is called Groove Yoga — a modern, funky mix of stretching, traditional yoga, sweating and thumping tunes. The Clarks like to refer to the atmosphere of the studio and style of yoga as “2010, maybe even 2011.”

“The thought,” Sara Clark explains, “was to blend this unbelievable Eastern tradition of yoga that is so many thousands of years old and has been rooted in so many different variations … with a more Western contemporary vibe.”

eeknight racing in Bend shifts into gear this week with the first of two cycling time trials kicking off this Thursday. A criterium race series at Bend’s Summit High School gets under way next week.

And just in time for the summer crit-racing

season, a women-only criterium clinic is on tap in Bend over the next two Tuesdays.

Conducted by Bart Bowen and Brig Brandt from the Rebound Sports Performance Lab, the two-part clinic will focus on race tactics, cornering and sprinting, as well as addressing criterium-specific workouts. Organizers say the clinic is open to women riders of all abilities, and that the aim of the clinic is to make criterium racing safer and more enjoyable for women.

Both clinic sessions will run approximately 90 minutes. For more information or to register, contact Brandt at bbrandt@reboundspl. com or call 541-585-1500.

Madras takes on Ashland Bulletin staff report The old baseball axiom is that good pitching beats good hitting.

We’ll see today.

Madras (21-8 overall), which recorded the second-most runs in all of Class 5A this season, plays at Ashland today at 4:30 p.m. in one of two 5A state baseball postseason semifinal matchups.

While the White Buffaloes, who finished second during the 2010 Intermountain Confer-

ence, have averaged 8.4 runs per game, the Grizzlies, winners of the Southern Sky Conference, have limited opponents to a 5Alow 2.96 runs per contest.

Oregon State-bound Ian Kendall leads an Ashland pitching staff that has put up spectacular numbers this season. Entering the playoffs, the Grizzlies (23-5) had a team earned-run average of 1.68 and averaged 9.16 strikeouts per game.

S B Baseball • Strasburg to make debut against Pirates on June 8: The Washington Nationals said after Monday’s 14-4 win over Houston that their prized pitching prospect Stephen Strasburg will make his major league debut against Pittsburgh on June 8 at Nationals Park. The 21-year-old righthander is first scheduled to start for Triple-A Syracuse at Buffalo on Thursday. General manager Mike Rizzo told mlb.com that Strasburg will throw six innings, or 95 pitches. Rizzo told the web site that he, pitching coordinator Spin Williams and pitching coach Steve McCatty mapped out a specific plan for Strasburg at spring training.

• Rockies’ Jimenez is majors’ first 10-game winner: Ubaldo Jimenez pitched a four-hitter to become the majors’ first 10-game winner this year, outpitching Tim Lincecum to lead the Colorado Rockies past the San Francisco Giants 4-0 in Monday’s Memorial Day matchup.

Olympics • BMW signs $24 million deal with USOC: A person familiar with the contract says the U.S. Olympic Committee has reached an agreement on a sponsorship deal with BMW worth about $24 million. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been publicly announced yet, says the contract will run through the 2016 Games, and the USOC will receive cash. BMW will be the first foreign car maker to sponsor the USOC and will fill a void left when General Motors decided not to renew its sponsorship following the 2008 Olympics.

Auto racing •Mike Conway will miss 3 months after scary crash: IndyCar driver Mike Conway will miss at least three months with back and leg injuries from his frightening crash in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. Conway had surgery for multiple fractures in his lower left leg and has been diagnosed with a compression fracture in his back.

The back injury was not confirmed until Monday morning.

Conway’s team, Dreyer & Reinbold, has yet to say who will replace him in the No. 24 car. The 26-year-old Englishman was injured on Lap 199 when Ryan Hunter-Reay’s car, already low on fuel, started sputtering. Conway was going about 220 mph through the short chute between turns three and four, and couldn’t avoid running into the back of Hunter-Reay. The contact sent Conway airborne and into the catch fence, splitting the car into two large pieces though the driver’s seat remained intact. He was airlifted to a local hospital after the race, where he had surgery.

• Franchitti earns $2.8 million for Indy 500 win: Dario Franchitti earned $2,752,055 for his Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday. His earnings were part of an overall purse of $13,592,815. The paychecks were announced at the annual victory dinner Monday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Lacrosse • Duke beats Notre Dame to win 1st lacrosse title: C.J. Costabile scored with five seconds gone in suddendeath overtime Monday, giving Duke its first NCAA men’s lacrosse title with a 6-5 win over Notre Dame. Costabile won the faceoff from Trever Sipperly and sprinted downfield before beating standout goaltender Scott Rodgers with a shot from directly in front of the net. The Blue Devils rushed onto the field and created a massive pile of players, sticks and helmets while celebrating the fastest goal to start an overtime in NCAA championship history.

Cycling • Spanish cyclist Valverde gets 2-year doping ban: Spanish cyclist Alejandro Valverde received a global twoyear ban Monday for his connection to a blood-doping ring, but was allowed to keep his 2009 Spanish Vuelta victory. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of the International Cycling Union and World Anti-Doping Agency, which wanted Valverde sanctioned for suspected doping revealed in a 2006 Spanish scandal known as Operation Puerto. The 30-year-old Valverde cannot compete until January 2012, but he plans to appeal the verdict.

Running • Ethiopians dominate Bolder Boulder races: Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia has won the men’s Bolder Boulder 10kilometer race, crossing the finish line hand-in-hand with countrymen Tilahun Regassa and Tadese Tola. The trio broke away from two Kenyans in the third mile Monday and entered Folsom Field hand-in-hand. Expecting a sprint to the finish, the crowd of 50,000 roared ever louder when it became apparent the Ethiopians instead would cross the tape together. Desisa finished in 29 minutes, 16.93 seconds, officially 0.03 seconds ahead of 2009 champion Regassa and 0.15 seconds in front of Tola.

Brent Vaughn of Boulder, representing Team Colorado, finished fourth, more than 38 seconds behind. Ethiopia’s Mamitu Daska defended her title in the women’s race.

Henin loses to No. 7 seed Stosur

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

PARIS — Justine Henin kept saying it, even if no one was listening.

She’s not back to being the player she was before taking a 20-month hiatus from tennis. She’s still searching for consistency on court.

Too many “ups and downs,” to use her term.

Turns out Henin was right. Betrayed down the stretch by her best stroke, the backhand, and by her usually steely nerves, the four-time French Open champion lost to No. 7-seeded Sam Stosur of Australia 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round Monday, ending Henin’s 24-match winning streak at her favorite tournament.

“Everyone wants to see me (at) the level that I was,” said Henin, who abruptly retired in May 2008 while ranked No. 1, then returned to the tour this season and reached the Australian Open final in January. “I still have to work a lot, quite simply.”

Thanks to her 2005-07 titles at Roland Garros, and then the time away, it’s been six years since Henin felt the sting of a loss at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament — all the way back in 2004’s second round.

“Obviously, beating Justine is going to give me lots and lots of con-

TENNIS fidence for the next match,” said Stosur, a French Open semifinalist in 2009 and a tour-best 18-2 on clay this year. “That’s obviously a great achievement for me, but it’s not over yet. I’m just in the quarters and going to play the No. 1 player in the world next.”

That would be Serena Williams, who stumbled at the start before cruising to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over No. 18 Shahar Peer of Israel. Williams dropped the first seven points of the match, then immediately took nine in a row and was on her way.

“I seem to always be able to turn it up during this particular stage,” said Williams, who won two of the past three Grand Slam tournaments and owns 12 major titles.

The other quarterfinal in that half of the draw will be No. 4 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia against 36thranked Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan. Jankovic beat No. 23 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-4, 6-2, while Shvedova eliminated 107th-ranked Jarmila Groth of Australia 6-4, 6-3.

In men’s fourth-round matches, four-time champion Rafael Nadal improved to 200-16 on clay over his career by overcoming four breaks

Michel Euler / The Associated Press

Australia’s Samantha Stosur returns the ball to Belgium’s Justine Henin during their fourth-round match for the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris Monday. of serve to defeat No. 24 Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. A year ago, Nadal lost in the fourth round — he was 31-0 at Roland Garros before that stunning exit against Robin Soderling — but he insisted that didn’t make him any more careful this time.

Now Nadal will meet No. 19 Nicolas Almagro, who knocked off

No. 7 Fernando Verdasco 6-4, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4. Also Monday, No. 3 Novak Djokovic of Serbia eliminated the last U.S. man in the tournament, 98th-ranked Robby Ginepri of Kennesaw, Ga., 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, and No. 22 Jurgen Melzer of Austria beat 114th-ranked qualifier Teimuraz Gabashvili of Russia 7-6 (6), 46, 6-1, 6-4.

At 29, Melzer is the oldest man left in the field. He’s also reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal in 32 appearances.

“Well, to be the oldest player is not a special feeling,” Melzer said.

“Reaching the quarterfinals for the first time — that’s a special feeling.”

Williams might have forgotten what it feels like to reach the semifinals in Paris: She hasn’t been that far at the French Open since 2003, a year after she won her only championship at the tournament.

“I feel prepared every year, and I always dive out in the quarters,” Williams said. “I’m just trying to get past that this year, hopefully.”

She owns a 3-1 record against Stosur, including a victory at January’s Australian Open. Stosur’s win came on a hard court at Stanford, Calif., last year, and Williams was hardly complimentary afterward, saying: “She had a lot of lucky shots; she’s a good framer.”

Oregon

By Dennis Waszak Jr.

Continued from D1 Oregon dropped baseball after the 1980-81 season because of budget constraints. For many years, the Ducks were the only Pac-10 school without baseball.

For its return the Ducks hired George Horton, who coached at Cal State Fullerton for 11 seasons and went to the College World Series six times. The Titans team won the national title in 2004, and he was twice the national coach of the year.

But the Ducks foundered in their first season back, going 14-42 overall and 4-23 in the Pac-10 last season.

Oregon made a dramatic turnaround in its second season, winning nine series on the season, including five in the tough Pac-10. The conference sent a record eight teams to the postseason this year.

The 64-team NCAA baseball tournament is divided into 16 regionals, with the winners in double-elimination play going to super regionals June 11-14. The eight teams that are still standing advance to the College World Series.

OSU Continued from D1 The Beavers, who went 12-15 in Pac-10 play, went on a stretch when they lost 11 of 12 games but they rebounded to go 10-5 to finish out the season.

The Beavers watched the NCAA selection show at Goss Stadium after wrapping up the season at Arizona. The Pac-10 Conference sent a record eight teams to the tournament.

Oregon State is the No. 3 seed in Gainesville, joining top-seeded Florida, second-seeded Florida Atlantic and No. 4 seed Bethune Cookman.

The FAU Owls (35-22) finished second in the Sun Belt Conference. Host Florida was 42-15 and finished atop the Southeaster Conference, while BethuneCookman went 35-20 overall including a perfect 18-0 record in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Beavers have gone to the postseason 11 times since 1952. They’ve gone 34-20 in tournament games.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Arizona State made it easy for the NCAA selection committee.

The Sun Devils (47-8) overcame a sudden coaching change before the season, won the Pac-10 title and were chosen Monday as the top seed for the 64-team Division I college baseball tournament.

“They really didn’t make very many mistakes throughout the course of the season and down the stretch,” committee chairman Tim Weiser said. “I think they, for the most part, from beginning to end have been a team that people have recognized and looked at as kind of separate from a lot of other teams.”

The other national seeds, in order, are: Texas (46-11), Florida (42-15), Coastal Carolina (51-7), Virginia (4711), UCLA (43-13), Louisville (48-12) and Georgia Tech (45-13).

The Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac10 and Southeastern Conference each had eight teams selected by the NCAA baseball committee, all-time highs for both the ACC and Pac-10.

“It was a unique feature for us, especially when it came to trying to determine how we distribute these teams from a regional standpoint,” Weiser said.

The 16 regional winners move on to the best-of-three super regionals, with those winners advancing to the College World Series, which begins June 19 in Omaha, Neb. It will be the last one played at Rosenblatt Stadium, the home of college baseball’s premier event since 1950. The eight-team championship will move to a new ballpark in downtown Omaha next season.

Arizona State has had an outstanding season under interim coach Tim Esmay, who replaced Pat Murphy after he abruptly resigned in November after 15 years. The Sun Devils will host one of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals that begin Friday. Arizona State opens against Horizon League champion Milwaukee (33-24).

“Although we had a lot of debate on the seven and eight seeds, I cannot recall us having any debate or discussion about Arizona State,” said Weiser, the athletic director at Kansas State.

It’s the first time Arizona State has been the No. 1 overall seed, a spot that hasn’t exactly panned out for teams of late. The only top national seed to win the College World Series since the field was expanded in 1999 to 64 teams was Miami in that same year.

Defending national champion LSU will play UC Irvine in the first round of the Los Angeles regional, hosted by UCLA. Florida International’s Garrett Wittels will carry a 54-game hitting streak into the Coral Gables, Fla., regional and an opening-round matchup against Texas A&M. Wittels is four games shy of matching Robin Ventura’s Division I record of 58 consecutive games with at least one hit, set in 1987 for Oklahoma State.

Mercer, which won the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament, is the lone team making its first appearance.

New Mexico is in for the first time since 1962, while Oregon is playing in the tournament for the first time since 1964. The Ducks are in their second season since restarting their program under former Cal State Fullerton coach George Horton.

Miami extended its NCAA record by making its 38th consecutive appearance, while Florida State is in for the 33rd straight year. The Seminoles are the only No. 1 seed not hosting a regional. They’ll travel to Norwich, Conn., where the University of Connecticut is the host team after the selection committee chose to place a regional in a nontraditional geographical area.

“I think we felt like if we could do this without sacrificing the integrity of our seeding process and what we consider to be our top 16 seeds, we at least needed to explore that,” Weiser said.

“It was the right thing to do given the option of a Northeast location that we don’t usually have.”

North Carolina, which has made four straight College World Series appearances, made the NCAA tournament as an at-large selection despite not making the ACC tournament. The Tar Heels (36-20) have been ranked in the top 30 for much of the season.

“We have not had that as a criteria, and we have not suggested to the membership that they have to make a conference tournament,” Weiser said.

“I think in North Carolina’s case, the argument can be made that they had a very good season.”

Two teams with losing records earned automatic berths by winning their conference titles: Patriot League champion Bucknell (25-33) and Southwestern Conference winner Grambling (22-30).

Weiser said the committee had to consider about 12 teams for the tournament’s last two spots. Among schools left out were: Kentucky, Texas State and Pittsburgh.

Blackhawks go up 2-0 over Flyers

U.S. World Cup team arrives in South Africa

By Rick Gano The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Antti Niemi was unflappable as the Stanley Cup finals turned defensive in Game 2. Different style of game from the opener, yet another victory for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Niemi made 14 of his 32 saves in the final period and Chicago beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 to take a 2-0 series lead on Monday night.

“It’s unbelievable feeling how the people react,” Niemi said as the crowd cheered him and chanted his name after the game. “Defense was the key.”

After a 6-5 Chicago victory in the opener when the teams traded goals, both clubs tightened up their defense. The tone was more physical and chippy from the outset.

The Blackhawks, who for the second straight game got no points from their two young stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, broke through against Michael Leighton when Marian Hossa and Ben Eager scored 28 seconds apart late in the second period.

And after the Flyers got a power-play goal from Simon Gagne early in the third, Niemi withstood a late flurry from the Flyers to preserve Chicago’s seventh straight win.

“I thought their goaltender played extremely well in the third period. We had more than enough looks to tie up that game,” Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said.

Games 3 and 4 will be played in Philadelphia on Wednesday and Friday.

Patrick Sharp fired a shot from the left circle, and after Leighton stopped it and with Chicago’s Troy Brouwer battling for the puck, Hossa poked it in from the left side with 2:51 left in the second.

Hossa, in his third straight Stanley Cup finals with a different team, got his third goal of the playoffs and first since May 5 against Vancouver in the conference semifinals.

Just 28 seconds later with the crowd still abuzz, Dustin Byfuglien made a steal and passed the puck to fourth-line forward Eager. Eager skated to the

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Daniel Carcillo (13) butts heads with Chicago Blackhawks right wing Tomas Kopecky (82) as they confront each other after a hit in the first period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals Monday in Chicago. right circle and unleashed a shot that beat Leighton high on the glove side to make it 2-0. It was the first goal of the playoffs for the former Flyers forward.

Philadelphia broke through with 1 second left on a power play when Gagne scored from the left circle.

Gagne nearly chipped in a tying rebound about

7 minutes later, but was denied by Niemi’s pad in close.

Leighton, who was drafted by the Blackhawks and played parts of two seasons for them, got the nod despite being pulled in Game 1 after yielding five goals on 20 shots. He made 24 saves Monday night.

Trying to get more punch, the Flyers inserted forward Daniel Carcillo into the lineup. A scratch the last three games and known for his agitating style, Carcillo was the team leader in playoff penalty minutes (30) entering the game and joined Philadelphia captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter on a first line that had been pointless in the opener.

Carcillo replaced Gagne to start the game — Gagne later returned to the top line — and immediately began to mix things up. He took a run at Chicago’s Tomas Kopecky and inadvertently flattened teammate Carter.

The Flyers were called for their first penalty of the series with 5:12 left in the opening period, bringing out a loud roar from the crowd as the Blackhawks went on a power play for the first time in nearly 75 minutes. They couldn’t score.

About three minutes later, Chicago went on another power play when there were three penalties called simultaneously — two on the Flyers with Carcillo being sent to the box for unsportsmanlike conduct.

But the Blackhawks couldn’t convert, and the first period ended scoreless, quite a contrast from Game 1 when there were five goals in the opening 20 minutes. Outshot 17-9 in the first period of the opener, the Blackhawks had a 9-3 advantage in the rematch.

One of Chicago’s best scoring chances came in front of the net as Toews tried to punch the puck in before he was wedged out by defenseman Chris Pronger, who then shoved his Olympic teammate into the boards, prompting an angry exchange.

Niemi used his right pad to stop Richards on a breakaway at 7:35 of the second, preserving the scoreless tie.

JOHANNESBURG — The U.S. World Cup team arrived in Johannesburg on Monday following a 17-hour flight and was greeted by the same visible security presence that was on hand for the arrival of other countries.

Armed special task-force members, dressed in dark blue uniforms, surrounded the South African Airways plane at the O.R. Tambo airport as the players emerged on a cool, overcast afternoon.

After leading his team off the plane, coach Bob Bradley immediately picked out the opening game against England on June 12 as a chance to make an impression on the tournament.

“There has been a lot of attention on our first game with England,” Bradley said. “It’s a great opportunity for us.

“But we certainly know that Slovenia and Algeria are excellent teams. It will be a tough group and we are looking forward to it.”

Plainclothes security officials, wearing earpieces and sunglasses, also patrolled the arrivals facility — set aside for World Cup teams — where the Americans cleared immigration.

The U.S. should be familiar with its surroundings after it made an impressive showing in the Confederations Cup in South Africa last year. Bradley’s team reached the final and played in Rustenburg, Pretoria and Johannesburg at the same venues it visits in the group stages.

“We’re very fortunate that we have had experience here,” Bradley said on the airport tarmac.

“The people here in South Africa have always treated us so well so in that regard, it’s a comfortable feeling to be back for the World Cup. “We are very excited... The travel went really well and the team is looking to get started with our work here.”

The group was greeted by dancing and singing staff members on its arrival at the hotel.

Crit Continued from D1 As an added incentive, women participating in the criterium clinic will receive free entry to one race in this summer’s Central Oregon Racing Criterium Series.

The eight-week series kicks off next Wednesday, June 9, at Summit High and runs weekly through Aug. 11. A 30-minute race for women and juniors starts the action at 5:40 p.m., followed by a 40-minute “B” race for Category 3, 4 and 5 riders at 6:20 p.m. The evening of racing culminates at 7:10 p.m. with a 50-minute “A” race for category 1, 2 and 3 riders. The final race in the series, on Aug. 11, has been designated by race director Matt Plummer as the Central Oregon Criterium Championship.

The weeknight criterium series is an Oregon Bicycle Racing Association-sanctioned event.

Registration opens at 5 p.m. on race day at Summit High. Cost to enter is $10 for participants in the women’s/junior field, and $15 for all others.

Riders will have a couple of opportunities to take a break from criterium racing this summer.

Plummer is planning hill-climb time trials on Century Drive set to take place on June 23 and July 7. The June 23 event will consist of a 9.5-mile individual time trial starting at Seventh Mountain Resort and finishing at Virginia Meissner Sno-park. Two weeks later, Plummer will offer a 12.5mile time trial beginning at Seventh Mountain Resort and concluding at Swampy Lakes Sno-park.

Steve Larsen Trail The one-year anniversary of the untimely passing of Steve Larsen came and went on May 19 without much public fanfare. But three days later at the new Wanoga Trail Complex, 135 sets of hands were cutting a singletrack mountain bike trail that will carry the name of the world-renowned endurance athlete from Bend.

Larsen, a retired professional road cyclist, mountain biker and triathlete, died at age 39 of a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, Carrie, and their five children.

The trail-building effort was part of the Central Oregon Trail Alliance’s annual Spring Fling trail work party.

The Steve Larsen Trail “is nearly complete,” COTA president Woody Starr said Monday.

The trail, which Starr estimated is three to four miles in length, points south toward Kiowa Springs from the Tiddlywinks Trail in the Wanoga Trail Complex, located about 15 miles southwest of Bend on Century Drive.

“It goes through some pretty interesting old-growth spruce forests,” Starr noted. “The trail is not real steep, so we tried to lay it out with as much interest as possible.”

Starr characterized the trail as “a work in progress” and added that it is not yet open for riding. In addition to naming a trail at Wanoga in Larsen’s honor, COTA has plans to further memorialize Larsen with a trailhead kiosk that will serve as a monument to his athletic accomplishments.

On the horizon Registration is open for two upcoming cycling events in Central Oregon.

Riders can sign up for the Pickett’s Charge! Mountain Bike Race, set for Sunday, June 27, at Wanoga Sno-park, by going to www.sunnysidesports. com/picketts/.

Online registration is also open for the High Desert Omnium, a three-stage road race scheduled for July 10-11 in and around Bend. For more information or to register, go to www. highdesertomnium.com.

I B Timber sports • Local lumberjack breaks world record: Tom Martin, 30, of Bend, set his seventh world record on April 24 in a Montana timber sports competition known as Forestry Days at Fort Missoula in Missoula, Mont.

In the single buck event, Martin sawed through a 20inch piece of Western larch in a world-record 24.4 seconds.

He won the event by six seconds, beating David Moses, of Snoqualmie, Wash., who was the reigning champion in the single buck.

Hockey • Bend hockey player makes women’s World Cup Team: Bend’s Jetta Rackleff, 18, has been selected as a goaltender for the USA Women’s World Cup Inline Hockey Team. The team is scheduled to play July 2-8 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Her selection was based on a competition held May 14-16 in Pittsburgh against seven other goaltenders.

Also, Rackleff has been selected onto the USA Roller Sports Hockey Committee.

Made up of eight athletes, the committee deals directly with the United States Olympic Committee and influences decisions regarding the Pan-Am Games, the World Games, and the future of inline hockey in the Olympics.

Yoga Continued from D1 Bridget Evans, an instructor at Groove Yoga, adds: “It’s a way of combining our love of yoga and the music in a heated studio.�

Evans and another Groove Yoga instructor, Kristin Tone, created the Groove Yoga sequence. “The idea is making it accessible to every person out there,� says Evans. “We want everyone in Bend to be doing yoga.�

Let’s face it, among big-league baseball players and most other American professional athletes, yoga has a reputation as a somewhat eccentric activity. And Brady Clark wanted nothing to do with it. What he did want was to supplement his muscle-building and cardio workouts with some stretching as well as to prevent injury. “I had to get over the stigma in first going to yoga and what yoga was perceived by many people and me as a professional athlete,� says Clark as he sits in his new yoga studio, which is brightly lit and bedecked in colorful, modern decor. “But once I went (to a yoga class), I realized that it wasn’t just a stretching class, it was a tremendous workout and core workout and stretching all at the same time. That’s how I got into it in the first place.�

Clark says he has been practicing yoga for eight years now and claims that it helped him avoid injury and also recover faster from a couple of operations. “I came to find out that through yoga ‌ I’ve never pulled a muscle, pulled a hamstring, pulled

“I came to find out that through yoga ‌ I’ve never pulled a muscle, pulled a hamstring, pulled an oblique from swinging a bat, where prior to, I had experience with injuries like that.â€? — Former Major League baseball player Brady Clark

The Bulletin / Rob Kerr

Brady and Sara Clark stand in their Groove Yoga studio in northwest Bend. A former major-league baseball player, Brady continues to practice yoga. an oblique from swinging a bat, where prior to, I had experience with injuries like that.

“I’ve had two major surgeries in that time that were just wearand-tear injuries,� says Clark,

noting that he underwent hip surgery in 2007 and microfracture knee surgery in 2008.

He says he recovered from the hip operation in only about four months. “Yoga was a tremendous asset in helping me recover from those injuries,� he insists. “Prehab� is the word Clark has coined to describe what yoga has done for his overtaxed body, meaning it helps prevent the need for rehabilitation.

Clark is not the only big-time male athlete to integrate yoga into his fitness regimen. Other notable pro athletes known to practice yoga include former NFL running back Eddie George, big-league baseball pitcher Barry Zito, NBA superstar Kevin Garnett, and retired NHL goalie Sean Burke. Their names (and others) appear in the book “Real Men Do Yoga: 21 Star Athletes Reveal Their Secrets for Strength, Flexibility and Peak Performance,� by John Capouya.

Even Shaquille O’Neal, the massive veteran NBA center, tried yoga for the first time last October, according to reports

from The Associated Press. “In the last few years you really have seen a lot more professional athletes utilize yoga,� says Brady Clark. “In baseball, I know quite a few professional teams who are starting to utilize yoga more and more.�

The Yoga Groove studio in Bend opened just last week. The style of yoga is meant to draw from all walks of life. “Somebody once said to me — just because I had my own thought or stigma too — ‘Yoga is for everybody — every BODY,’ � says Sara Clark. “No matter how old you are, how young you are, how potentially out of shape or in shape. It’s for everyone. Everyone can come do it.�

Despite leaving pro baseball this spring after signing a minorleague contract with the Chicago White Sox, Clark continues a regular yoga practice. “In my opinion, everyone can benefit from yoga,� he says. “From the ‘weekend warrior’ to the professional athlete.�

Tame pet jealousy

yucks Laughter yoga no joke for its local followers

By Linda Weiford For The Bulletin

Laughter club participants are all smiles as they clasp hands and laugh in this exercise.

When Shakespeare penned, “Beware … of jealousy! It is the green-ey’d monster,” in “Othello,” perhaps he envisioned Duster the Cat. Ask the folks at the Deschutes Veterinary Clinic in Bend, where Duster lives, and they’ll tell you he is no monster. The 20-pound Maine Coon is sweet, sociable and dotes on Dr. Jodi Kettering, the veterinarian who took him in several years ago. But there’s a reason Duster moved to the clinic: He apparently didn’t like his owner’s boyfriend and went out of his way to show it.

He became, well, a jealous green-eyed monster.

See Jealousy / E6

Tyler Roemer / The Bulletin

Dr. Jodi Kettering, 49, a veterinarian at the Deschutes Veterinary Clinic, took in Duster after the cat’s former owner was at a loss dealing with Duster’s jealousy issues.

ast Wednesday afternoon. I’d just finished writing one article, and 15 minutes later was on my way to re-

port another.

Trouble was, I was suffering from what psychologists and medical professionals

‘Playshop’

call a “bad mood.” Maybe it was due to lack of sleep, or the daily battles with my kids, who begged for a dog for years, then act like they’re being waterboarded when asked to play with the pooch. Other possibilities include misaligned planets and/or poor cubicle feng shui.

Nevertheless, I had a laughter yoga appointment with Barbara Veale Smith, a certified laughter yoga leader and teacher who hosts a “laughter club” each Wednesday evening in the living room of her Sunrise Village home in Bend.

I’m glad I went. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but at one point I had tears in my eyes. I’m a soft touch, so that’s nothing new, but this time, the tears came from laughter. Bad mood? What bad mood?

In this exercise, laughter yoga participants lift their knees to their chests and laugh, prior to supposedly silent breathing. up laughter yoga in 1995 when he was doing research for an article he was writing about the health benefits of laughter, according to his website.

Wanting to test what he’d been learning, he and four others gathered to form the first laughter club.

Stories and jokes were issued to spark laughs. Members stood in a circle to share their comic material, curiosity seekers joined in.

But as attendance grew, the website says, the jokes grew more off-color, and some club members became offended.

At TBS, diversity pays its own way

DEAR ABBY ethic that founded this country?

(Maybe it went south along with the jobs?) And by the way, Abby, I am a female.

— Takes My Job Seriously Dear Takes: Most companies give employees time off for personal business and vacations, as well as time off for their own illnesses or the illness of family members. If they choose to use the time the way you have described, it is their right to do so.

However, if they are taking more than the company offers, that could be a problem. While I understand your point, please try to be less judgmental.

Dear Abby: My wife and I work and lead busy lives. The dinner table is the only place we can sit together with our son and have a relaxing conversation.

My wife, however, goes off and eats by herself saying she can’t wait — even though dinner is almost ready. I have tried telling her I prefer family time, but she brushes me off or becomes angry. Any suggestions?

— Hungry for Conversation Dear Hungry: Yes. If you want family dinners with your wife, you will have to find out — and resolve — what is eating her.

Clear the air, and you may find her less hungry for solitude.

A gentle reminder: Families sitting down and sharing meals together is a practice that is happening less and less, and it’s a shame. Teachers tell me that students who eat with their parents usually earn better grades than those who eat in front of a television set or on the run.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

CREATIVE LIGHTING

In 2004, the cable station TBS, based in Atlanta, rebranded itself with a bold slogan: “very funny.” What it had to back up the tag line, at the time, were reruns of “Seinfeld” and “Friends” — shows that had already proved their hilarity on NBC. Six years later, the humor is more homegrown and decidedly diverse. The most prominent new show is “Are We There Yet?,” a family sitcom based on the movie comedies starring Ice Cube. Starting this week, that show will be sandwiched on Wednesday nights between Tyler Perry’s two sitcoms, “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns,” while George Lopez’s talk show, “Lopez Tonight,” runs four nights a week.

In a television world where “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “The Cosby Show” are distant memories, TBS has quickly become the home of minority-driven comedy. Actors of varying ethnicities can be found on the broadcast networks and the biggest of the cable channels, often playing characters in ensemble dramas like “Grey’s Anatomy,” although some (like “CSI,” which stars Laurence Fishburne) cast nonwhite actors in leading roles. But in comedy, diversity seems to hit a wall, especially since the demise of UPN, which broadcast shows like “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Moesha.” The recent Fox sitcom “Brothers” was quickly pulled from the schedule after disappointing ratings. Now TBS’s new block of minority-oriented programming sits virtually unopposed.

It was that momentum that led Ice Cube, the rapper turned-actor-turned-television producer, to bring “Are We There Yet?” to TBS. “I always wanted to be” on that chan-

TBS via The Associate Press

nel, he said. “All these other stations, you can’t find anybody who will give diverse programming a chance. We had a few other meetings, but I knew if we went to another network, we’d have to teach them. TBS already gets it.”

Nothing convinced Ice Cube of that more than Perry’s success with TBS. In 2006, it ran a 10-episode test of “House of Payne” on its local Atlanta channel, WTBS. Viewer response prompted TBS to take it national. Perry’s “Meet the Browns” followed in 2009; it’s currently television’s No. 1-rated scripted series among AfricanAmericans ages 18 to 49, the group most coveted by advertisers.

Family friendly Both of Perry’s shows, and Ice Cube’s, spring from that most comforting of television traditions, the family sitcom. The household that is the focus of “Are We There Yet?” — much like the one in “The Brady Bunch” — is a blended one. Essence Atkins stars as a divorced mother of two who has recently married her second husband, played by Terry Crews, and their adventures in merging lives fuel the show’s comedy. Still, the show’s creator, Ali LeRoi, makes room for modern mishaps and gags. There are jokes driven by Facebook gaffes and plot lines built around Michelle Obama’s wardrobe.

“What ‘The Cosby Show’ would do today — that’s the

model we’re following,” said Joe Roth, whose Revolution Studios is producing the series and produced the films “Are We There Yet” (2005) and its sequel, “Are We Done Yet” (2007).

People behaving badly The TBS model for comedy also includes building nightly blocks of similar programming.

“The cornerstone of our development is what’s already working,” said Michael Wright, the programming chief for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. “We take an audience that’s already coming and program to them.”

For example, on Monday nights TBS has had success with syndicated “Family Guy” episodes. To feed an appetite for what Wright called the “irreverent, often satirical, sometimes scatological” humor found in that show, he ordered another animated series, “Neighbors From Hell,” a sitcom about a family of demons living on Earth, from the “South Park” alumna Pam Brady. Starting June 7, that series will run following “Family Guy.” Similarly, TBS is developing a fraternity comedy to play to the channel’s weekend movie audi-

THIS WEEKEND

CENTRALOREGON

Dear Abby: My mother-in-law is upset with my wife and me for sneaking out of a wedding reception early (before the dinner was served). There was a long delay between the reception and the dinner, and a DJ was playing loud, deafening rock ’n’ roll music.

We were seated near a speaker, and it was virtually impossible to carry on a conversation.

My wife claimed a major headache to the guests seated at our table, and we discreetly left the reception.

My mother-in-law says if you accept the dinner invitation it is bad manners not to eat the dinner because it cost the hosts money. I say, if the reception has intolerable environmental factors inflicted on the guests, leaving early is acceptable. Were we rude to leave as we did?

— Lost My Appetite in South Carolina Dear Lost My Appetite: Let me put it this way — your motherin-law has a point. Because the music was so loud that you were uncomfortable, you should have asked your hosts to instruct the DJ to lower the volume somewhat. It would have been preferable to walking out.

Dear Abby: I’m the supervisor of a small office. One of my biggest challenges is scheduling time off for the female employees. In my day, you didn’t take a day off unless you were very sick or your child was sick. Now they seem to want time off for everything from school events, sporting events, getting their nails done, their faces waxed or tanning appointments. I am amazed at the decline in work ethic.

As I read about the unemployment in our country, I would think people would be grateful to have a well-paying job with benefits — but the recession hasn’t slowed any of our female employees down one bit. What has happened to the old-fashioned work

ences. Observing that comedies like “Old School” and “Wedding Crashers” pulled in the biggest numbers, Wright set out to find a show “in the vein of likable guys occasionally behaving badly.” The show TBS purchased, “Glory Daze,” was created by two masters of raunch comedy: Walt Becker (“Van Wilder”) and Michael LeSieur (“You, Me and Dupree”).

And Wednesday night’s block will be aimed squarely at minority audiences.

“That’s where TBS is really smart,” said Vic Bulluck, the executive director for the NAACP’s Hollywood bureau. “There are no African-American comedies on any of the major networks.

‘The Cleveland Show’ on Fox is the closest thing we’ve got, and that’s highly rated. So, if an animated African-American family can find an audience on network television, why wouldn’t a real African-American family?”

(It should be noted that the creators and star of “The Cleveland Show” are white.)

Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, said he wasn’t sure why broadcast networks weren’t giving TBS’s diverse programming more competition.

“I imagine that would be a very uncomfortable question for networks to answer,” Koonin said.

“There’s a huge audience out there that wants to see people on television that look and live their lives like they do. We’re happy to accommodate them.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, June 1, 2010: This year, you will notice that others start to think of you as a creative force, a solution person, someone who isn’t afraid to go down the untried path. Often you get unexpected results, even for you. Learn to respond to the spontaneous. In those unanticipated moments, the biggest breaks could occur. If you are single, you will meet someone very special out of the blue.

Don’t decide that this is “it” until this person hangs around for at least a year. If you are attached, the two of you seem suddenly to understand each other better. Plan a special trip or event of meaning.

AQUARIUS reads you well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH The words you use have an impact, and they help others see where you are coming from.

You gain agreement in a meeting.

Others find you to be unusually innovative and upbeat. Listen to what is being shared. You might want and/or need more feedback.

Tonight: Where people are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others defer to you because you know what you are doing. Though you might not take the lead often, trust others’ judgment as well as your own.

You suddenly realize where someone is coming from. Let this person know that you understand.

Tonight: Take in new information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Deal with others directly, no games. Though you could be surprised by what comes up, you might appreciate the agreement you reach. Energize others by giving them your support. You could be amazed by what occurs. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Just don’t be alone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A boss seems to change, or perhaps there is a switch in authority. Though you might not see or experience this immediately, be aware. Your creativity will swell if you reveal your thoughts.

Tonight: Sort through opinions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Others keep testing their ideas on you. If you think you can get any work done that demands total concentration, think again. Go with the prevailing tides; network and brainstorm away.

Tonight: Where the crowds are, the happy Leo can be found.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Focus on work. You are one of the few signs who can concentrate and get the job done. Others are distracted with unexpected realizations and actions. By distancing yourself, distraction floats over you. Many count on you.

Tonight: Know when to call it a day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Though you like excitement, there simply might be too much on your plate. Know when to back off, detach and/or become just an observer. Try to avoid being overwhelmed. You might need to take action quickly.

Don’t allow others to trip you up.

Tonight: Having a good time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH If you can work from home, do. You will accomplish more. A new idea or a possibility of applying new technology could be quite exciting. An associate or partner presents an interesting option.

Tonight: Don’t overindulge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Don’t hesitate to ask questions, initiate a brainstorming session and/or encourage discussions. Others appreciate your innovative yet dynamic thinking. Don’t hesitate to do the unpredictable. Sometimes staying in the same rut doesn’t cut it.

Tonight: Don’t watch the clock.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be aware of the costs of a situation and move on. You could be surprised by what you hear and what the possibilities are.

Someone close to you encourages being more open. Tonight: Think about your budget. Pay bills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your style wins the spotlight. Your thinking is always avant garde. You can grasp what others can’t. Your imagination, plugged into an issue, will find a solution. Drop the word “no.”

Allow positive options to head toward you. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH Your instincts play out with your finances, sometimes drawing wild results. Recognize that what someone says is a sure bet easily could be a high risk. Know that the cards could fall in any way.

Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Surgery?

Read R ead tthis his ffiirst rst before before you youdo doanything! anthing!

Laughter Continued from E1 Kataria asked folks to bear with him while he found a fix. He did.

“Dr. Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer he was looking for: Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter,” the site says. “Both produced the same ‘happy chemistry.’”

When he asked the laugh seekers to “act out laughter,” the fake laughter soon became real, at least to some. From there, laughter became contagious at laughter club meetings. No sense of humor required.

Four clubs in Bend Today, 15 years later, there are more than 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 countries. At present, there are four laughter clubs meeting almost daily in Bend, according to Smith, who explained some of the principles of laughter yoga while folks trickled in through her front door.

Laughter yoga doesn’t have a whole lot to do with other forms of yoga, except for some breathing exercises, she explains.

“The thing about laughter yoga is, you do a lot of exhaling.

Think about laughing, right? Ha ha ha. It’s all exhaling, and so then your body naturally takes in more oxygen. And that greater increase of oxygen leads you to feel healthier and happier.”

Some yoga purists think calling it “yoga” is a stretch (yes, guilty as charged) but no one seems to be stressing out over the point, according to Melanie Rosen, of Bend, the certified laughter yoga teacher from whom Smith first learned.

Rosen studied laughter yoga under the tutelage of laughter yoga creator Kataria at a Mexican retreat last fall.

“She sent out an e-mail when she got back that said, ‘Do you want to learn how to laugh unconditionally?’” recalls Smith.

She and five others attended that training. Then, in April, she went to Chicago to study with Kataria herself.

“I had decided that I really wanted to give myself to this,” Smith says. “It’s really lifechanging. That sounds like a really strong claim, but ... my husband, Mark, can attest to this: I’ve been one of the most serious people you could ever imagine, and quite intense in some ways, and very passionate about caring for the world, and caring for the earth and helping people.

“And yet I think that was where that ‘Yes’ came from with the response to, ‘Do you want to learn how to laugh unconditionally?’ There was a spirit of ‘Oh, yeah, that would be great,’ because something in me wanted to be lighter.”

Her husband, who participates in the day’s laughter yoga session, interjects to mention a family retreat they went on last August.

“There was an exercise where each one of us answered a number of questions. One of the questions was, ‘What would you like to have more of in your family?’

My answer was, ‘Laughter.’

“Mind you,” he continues, “none of us had ever heard of laughter yoga — I mean, we didn’t know it existed at that point.”

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Laughter yoga includes this exercise, in which participants row an imaginary boat, then collapse into laughing heaps.

“Now I just look for opportunities to be more playful,” Barbara Smith says. “These practices really helped.”

However, she says at the start of the session, “There’s a lot of chatter in your mind that says, ‘This is totally silly.’ You’ll see in a minute. It does look quite silly.

Your inhibitions will kick in.”

They do, sort of, but for some reason it’s easy to pretend to blow out invisible 100th-birthday cakes and make faces at virtual strangers, both among the exercises we do.

We clap hands and we fake laugh, a lot, all while making eye contact with one another. During all this, I thought about how laughter yoga was supposed to fool the body into feeling good, even if the laughter isn’t real.

This actually happened to me.

Whether or not laughter is the best medicine, it’s certainly hard to feel bad when hearing the sound of laughter.

The best medicine?

But maybe it is the best medicine. In 2005, cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center found that “people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease,” according to a report on the school’s website.

A news release about the same study says that laughter appears to cause the endothelium, the tissue forming the inner lining of blood vessels, to dilate or expand, increasing blood flow.

With my blood flowing and that fuzzy feeling of endorphins buzzing through my system, the room seemed brighter. I was feeling great.

But still. The laughter felt forced, just like the eye contact we made as we moved around the room.

Soon, though, things changed.

My fake laughter was replaced by a few guffaws as I doubledover, attempting to touch my toes during one of the exercises.

In one Psychology Today article, neuroscientist Robert Provine, Ph.D., claimed that “Laughter is not primarily about humor, but about social relationships.”

This too seemed true as Smith led us through a cooling down process, in which we lay on our backs in a circle, feet pointing outward

Jealousy Continued from E1 While there’s no way to be certain which emotion drove Duster to behave so badly and be exiled from his home — and controversy exists about which emotions animals are capable of feeling — Duster’s story and recent research suggest that some pets feel jealousy, or something darned close.

In 2004, Duster — so named because of his resemblance to a feathery furniture duster — sat purring on an examination table as Kettering’s patient. His female owner had brought him in for “urinating in unusual places” including shoes and clothes. “It was a new behavior,” Kettering recalled. “I gave him a checkup and found that he had a hint of crystals in his urine, which I treated him for,” she said. But instead of getting better, Duster got worse.

“He kept urinating on objects.”

Boyfriend targeted Strange thing, too, because those objects happened to belong to his owner’s boyfriend. And the more time the boyfriend spent at her house, the more often Duster urinated on his things.

“As the romance intensified, so did Duster’s behavior,” said Kettering. She advised the owner to try a different kitty litter.

Then she had her move the lit-

They placed him on a trial of anti-anxiety medication. Nothing worked. What’s more, the cat, so quick to jump on people’s laps and nudge their cheeks with his wet nose, would strut past the boyfriend with narrowed eyes. “He refused to interact with him,” said Kettering.

Then the couple got engaged.

One night as they sat in the living room, they watched in shock as Duster pulled the boyfriend’s jacket off the back of a chair, squatted on it, and peed.

Kim Williams has heard lots of jealousy stories from pet owners

so that our heads were near one another’s. That put me two people away from Heather Redman, who was attending her second laughter club, she later said.

Redman knows how to laugh.

She was among the first to break rank and really laugh, from what I could tell. Her giggling continued even during the cooling down period, when we were supposed to breathe and let quiet wash over us.

Fat chance. Eventually, the giggling spread to me. The more I tried to be quiet, the funnier all of it struck me: This club, its benefits, my earlier bad mood, my kids. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I don’t like hyperbole or overexpressive anything, but this was pretty much the definition of fantastic.

Afterward, the others assured Redman — who had also gotten out a couple of apologies during her eruptions — that not only was it OK, it’s normal.

That call for silence is one of the biggest laugh triggers, Smith later explains: “That’s kind of how it works, and it’s quite amazing.”

Give yourself over to laughter yoga, engage in the exercises and “there are shifts that happen in a laughter session, and like that, it spills over into the rest of your life,” she says.

Mark Rabenstein is another participant. He says he regularly attends the daily laughter club meetings in Bend’s Higher Ground community, where he lives. “I went this morning,” he says. “It’s the best way to start the day.”

Rabenstein says he smiles more than he used to as a result of laughter yoga.

“I used to not smile that much and not laugh that much.” Now, if he’s in a group of people and something funny comes up, “I’ll be laughing the loudest,” he says.

‘Space for more joy’ Erin Conner, another laughter club attendee, has noticed that “it’s opened up this space for more joy,” she says. “When I first would come ... I would laugh until I would be crying. I couldn’t quit crying because the laughter was so poignant, or so sweet. It was almost like I’d been repressed.

“My childhood didn’t have a lot of laughter in it, so I would laugh,

during her 20 years as a receptionist for the clinic. But Duster’s three’s-acrowd story tops them all.

“We talked about it for days.

Not only did he seem jealous of the boyfriend, but he seemed to calculate his revenge,” said Williams.

Though many owners think it’s obvious that their pets exhibit jealousy, scientists sought proof.

Several studies conducted in England challenge the idea that only humans and chimps experience “secondary emotions” such as jealousy and guilt. In dogs, cats and horses in particular, the behaviors and the contexts in which they were observed seem consistent with more complex emotions, said Dr. Jacqui Neilson, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist in Portland.

“Obviously, we can’t ask them ... but consistent patterns of behaviors can tell us important things about what they’re feeling,” said Neilson. Jealous, resentful, jilted — it’s not unusual for pets to feel a change when a new person enters their owners’ lives, she said.

“Pets are social animals. Interaction with their owners has value to them. When they have to share it with a new person, they may not like it.”

Dogs may express their displeasure by jumping, placing themselves between the owner and the other person, or circling them sharklike. “They usually don’t do the passive-aggressive

and it was just like, ‘Whoa, what is this?’ It felt so good and so sweet ... that I would just cry.

Then I would be embarrassed. I was crying, and I was laughing.”

Now when she laughs, she just laughs.

“Sometimes I’ll laugh so hard that I will get tears in my eyes,” but before, “it was almost like something had to flush out of there, and now it’s just a place of joy.”

Children are welcome at laughter club as well as parents who are cranky, say, about their kids’ failure to live up to promises about, oh, I don’t know, maybe getting a family dog.

Kids are naturals at laughter yoga, says Smith’s husband, Mark. “They haven’t gotten that serious about life.”

The elderly also stand to benefit. His parents, both 75, participated a few weeks ago while visiting.

They’re “not in great health,” he says, and they’re both “oldschool everything: Catholic, not into yoga, not into new-agey stuff. They got right into it, did it twice the week they were here.”

Working with seniors Deb Melhase focuses on the health aspect of laughter yoga, and leads a group at Bend Senior Center as well as Bend Villa Retirement in Bend.

Rosen shares her story of her parents, who were in their 90s when they participated during the last year.

Those laughter yoga sessions “were huge gifts, because my father passed away three weeks ago,” she says. “I had never seen him laugh.”

Never?

“I had seen him laugh, but I couldn’t remember what his laugh sounded like. And I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen him really laugh.

“And he was the one, when everybody else is supposed to be quiet, was still laughing the loudest. I just treasure it. And then he died.”

Her parents had moved from Arizona to Bend a year ago, “so we had this year with them,” she says. “But of all the things I’m most grateful for, it’s the laughter.”

“They’re more straightforward.”

‘What’s changed?’

If your pet’s behavior changes, first look at what’s happening at home. “I always ask my clients, ‘What’s changed?’” said Neilson.

If it’s a new romance, Fido or Fluffy’s routine has probably been altered. Carve out time for them, and see that the new person gives them attention, too, she advised.

Sometimes owners have their pets euthanized, particularly if they’re urinating where they shouldn’t. This should be an absolute last option, Neilson stressed, and only after a thorough veterinary checkup.

In Duster’s case, his distraught owner put him up for adoption. “She was crying the day she made up her mind,” recalled Kettering. By then, Duster had bonded with Kettering and the rest of the clinic’s staff, so they kept him.

Today, he perches in an artificial cat tree, wanders the animal treatment area and plops himself down in front of Kettering’s keyboard when she’s trying to type. He’s never exhibited a hint of jealousy, she said.

“Since Day 1, it’s as if he looked at us and said, ‘All of you people are mine.’”

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.

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.

Smiley, who was born and raised in Bend, and her husband, Howe,

grandeur in the years since they bought it.

“When we first bought the house ... my kids — who were a lot younger then — thought we were moving into a haunted house,” said Smiley, an artist. “You should have seen it. It was dilapidated and had not been painted in 25 years. It had old carpeting all over. But the (home) inspector said the house was solid — it had good bones underneath it all.”

Edging: an ‘aesthetic choice’ for DIY folk

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

Some homeowners do everything right, including edging the grass with a near obsessive-compulsive regularity. I have a more relaxed approach. When the grass greens up in the spring, my typical routine is to take the electric trimmer and cut near the paths, side of the house and tree wells. This looks good short term, then the grass grows

GARDEN up and the yard looks unkempt again.

Some of us like this natural appearance. But if you want your yard to look better and maintain its groomed appearance longer, consider installing edging. Installation is well within the skill levels of most do-it-yourselfers.

RIGHT: A gas or electric trimmer creates a sharp line between grass and a flower bed, but without edging material, it will require frequent maintenance.

F COVER STORY

Rhubarb Continued from F1 The idea started last year, when the Central Oregon Dutch Oven Society decided to produce a cooking/fundraising event with a rhubarb theme. The fundraiser, rhubarb and the Dutch oven club are a natural fit. CODOS was formed in 2001 as a “civic club that cooks,” said La Pine resident Stephenson, who’s also CODOS’ president.

The club’s stated purpose is to “preserve and promote old-time cast-iron cooking and have fun.”

Members cook a variety of dishes using cast-iron pots, heated with charcoal or campfires.

Dutch oven cooking was widely used on the early Western frontier, Stephenson said, and a Dutch oven was a standard cooking vessel on the Oregon Trail.

Dutch oven club gatherings are held year-round.

In addition to having fun, the club has an impressive charitable fundraising résumé. The first Rhubarb Festival, held last year, brought in $1,500 for the Ford Foundation Lighting Project, which helped purchase 10 street lights for La Pine, Stephenson said.

This year, the rhubarb fundraiser has been expanded with more vendors and live bluegrass music throughout the day.

Proceeds will benefit Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer, Stephenson said, a program that raises money for the families of Central Oregonians undergoing cancer treatment.

Rhubarb recipes Rhubarb is a cool-season, perennial plant that is cold-hardy and resistant to drought, Stephenson said, which makes it perfect for this area. It tolerates most soils but grows best in fertile, well-drained soils high in organic matter.

People tend to think rhubarb tastes sour, Stephenson said, but that may be because their only experience was with pies or cobblers. Commonly known as a “pie plant,” she said, the vegetable is most often used in pies, desserts or tarts. “But there are hundreds of different recipes available,” she said. “As soon as people comprehend that rhubarb is a vegetable, they are surprised at how many dishes it can be used in.”

The emphasis at the rhubarb festival is on Dutch oven cooking, Stephenson said, but any of the recipes can be used in a kitchen.

The favorites range from salsa to barbecue sauce to fritters.

Generally, rhubarb harvesting takes place in late May or early June, with an option to harvest again in August, Stephenson said. At harvest, the stalks should be firm. If they are picked too late, the stalks may be pithy and tough.

“Don’t cut the stalks from the plant, but instead, twist and pull them off,” Stephenson recom-

If not used immediately, rhubarb can be refrigerated, canned or frozen, but be sure to chop the stalks into 1-inch pieces before freezing. The stalks are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber; 1 cup of diced rhubarb contains about 26 calories. Generally, the stalks can be stored in the refrigerator for two to four weeks,

Stephenson said.

Cooking rhubarb is simple.

Three to five stalks will make a pound and will equal about ¾ cup when cooked. An easy process is to put the stalks or cubes in water, bring to a boil, then simmer until tender. Then the cooked rhubarb can be used as needed.

When buying rhubarb, choose crisp stalks and peel off any stringy coverings before use.

“Some people came to the event last year and claimed they didn’t like rhubarb” Stephenson said. “That was before they tasted some of the recipes.”

When I was in college and for years after, whenever I went into San Francisco to catch a late set of jazz, the evening always ended in Chinatown with a bowl of congee.

I can’t think of anything more restorative that late at night. Or any other time, really.

Congee, for the uninitiated, is basically rice boiled with water until it has a porridge-like consistency. I know, it sounds pretty boring. But don’t stop reading yet. The genius is in the garnishes — which can be seafood, sausage, pork, duck, a 1,000-year-old egg and a kazillion other tidbits. Before digging in with a Chinese soup spoon, you dose your congee (known as jook in Cantonese) with chile paste, soy sauce, cilantro and peanuts.

These days I’m not going to drive to Monterey Park every day for a congee fix, so I’ve started making it at home. Not every day, but often — sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for an early lunch.

It’s laughably easy to make at home. Basically, it involves boiling one cup of rice to eight cups of water. (Use more if you like your porridge looser.) Remember to wash the rice well beforehand until there’s no floury residue.

Some aficionados use brown rice or mixed whole grains. Find your preference. Some like the rice cooked until it’s broken down almost into a slurry. Others like to stop while the grains of rice are still intact. (That would be me.)

Some like to build in a little flavor by cooking the rice with sliced fresh ginger or a few dried shiitake mushrooms.

Making congee is a great way to use up leftovers too small for anything else. If you have a few slivers of pork, half a chicken breast, shredded duck confit, a little ragu, a couple of shrimp left over from some other meal, put them in a congee.

Other ideas: add diced Smithfield ham, some dried shrimp or dried scallops, whatever you have on hand. Make tiny meatballs.

You could make a vegetarian version with shiitake mushrooms, scallions, cabbage and other vegetables. Or you could go entirely seafood with squid, dried scallops, shrimp and chunks of fish.

Now comes the fun part: the garnishes. Set out a series of small bowls, each holding a different ingredient, so guests can garnish their congee at the table.

These should include some sliced scallions, cilantro leaves, roasted (preferably unsalted) peanuts, maybe some Chinese pickled vegetables and sliced chiles or crimson chile paste. Pass the soy sauce, too. Some people like a drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of white pepper.

BASIC RICE CONGEE Makes 4 to 6 servings.

8 C water, plus extra boiling water as necessary 1½ C whole or broken longgrain rice (Thai jasmine or Chinese- or Americangrown long-grain; not basmati or any parboiled rice) ¾ tsp salt, divided 1 TBS peanut or vegetable oil 7 to 10 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped ¼ lb lean ground pork ¼ C lightly dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped 1 to 2 red cayenne or other medium-hot fresh chili, finely chopped 3 to 4 green onions, finely chopped ½ C loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves ½ C Chinese pickled vegetables, finely chopped (optional) Soy sauce Salt and freshly ground black pepper In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and stir gently until the water returns to a boil. Lower the heat to a gentle boil, add one-half teaspoon salt and continue to cook for 15 minutes. The rice should be cooked but still firm. Remove from heat and set aside, uncovered, for 15 minutes, up to an hour. The rice will continue to soften and absorb water as it sits. (If you want the grains very soft and broken, use a little more boiling water and boil for 30 minutes rather than 15.)

While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet or wok over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, and when it is hot, add the garlic and stir-fry until it begins to color. Add the ground pork and one-quarter teaspoon salt and stir until the pork is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, place in a bowl and set aside.

Place the garnishes (roasted peanuts, chopped chilies, chopped green onion, cilantro and pickled vegetables) in small bowls or in separate piles on a platter.

Just before serving, stir the cooked rice gently. If you find the congee too thick, add boiling water one-half cup at a time to achieve the desired consistency.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Ladle the hot congee into individual soup bowls at the table.

Place the bowl of sautéed pork and garlic on the table, along with a small bowl of soy sauce, salt and pepper, and the platter or bowls of other accompaniments so that the guests can help themselves as they please.

HUNANESE CHOPPED SALTED CHILIES Makes about 1¾ C chopped chilies; total time, 10 minutes plus 2 weeks steeping time.

1 lb very fresh red Thai chilies ¼ C salt, divided Wash the chilies and dry thoroughly. Remove their stems and tips, and chop coarsely with the seeds. (You might wish to use rubber gloves, because it can get very spicy.) Place the chopped chilies in a bowl.

Add 3½ TBS salt to the chilies and mix thoroughly. Place the salted chilies in a glass gar and cover with the remaining salt. Seal with a tight-fitting lid.

Leave in a cool place for a couple of weeks before using, and then refrigerate once opened.

The chilies will keep, refrigerated, for months.

Hunanese chopped salted chiles are an indispensable garnish for congee.

F BUILDING A BETTER BURGER

It’s worth the grind

By Mark Bittman

BEEF TARTARE BURGER

New York Times News Service

There is undeniable pleasure in a plain beef burger juicy, tender, well-browned over a backyard grill, but there’s even more in a jazzed-up one. If you begin with pork, lamb or beef you buy yourself and grind at home, and continue by adding seasonings aggressively, you’re on your way to a summer full of great “burgers” which are, in essence, sausages in burger form.

In fact, I wondered while making (and eating) my first pork burger of the grilling season: Why would anyone make a plain burger? Why would you begin with supermarket ground beef — whose quality is highly questionable and whose flavor is almost always disappointing, if not depressing — and then cook it without much seasoning beyond a few crystals of salt? Ketchup, after all, does not fix everything.

Even the addition of mustard, pickles and so on, right down to mayonnaise, doesn’t give you good-tasting meat.

The question of how to improve on the basic burger is one I’ve pondered since the mother of Mark Roth, my childhood best friend, first served me one laced with Worcestershire sauce and other exotic spices. (Exotic for the late 1950s, at least, when even pepper grinders did not exist in the kitchens of most middle-class Jewish New Yorkers.) My taste buds responded, and I began besieging my poor mother with demands for improved burgers. In the years that followed, neither she nor I could duplicate Shirley Roth’s concoction. It could be time to ask Roth for her recipe, but I do not want to risk disappointment.

Pork epiphany Fast forward to my early adulthood, when I was introduced to the pork burger of a small luncheonette in Fairfield County, Conn. Here, the proprietor and cook would hand-grind and hand-season — onion, fennel and black pepper dominated — a few pounds of pork shoulder each day. On order, he would shape a third of a pound or so into a burger and cook it on the griddle with half of a bell pepper — one he tore in half with his fingers, not a bad technique — and some onion. This was served with no adornment — it didn’t need any — on a good hard roll. (Never mind that a good hard roll is almost impossible to find these days; that’s a different story.)

This I could do. You need fat: Pork shoulder is almost imperative for the correct balance of lean and fat. You need strong spices; as a starting point, you cannot beat fennel seeds and black pepper. And you need adequate salt, an essential in any good burger. Variations, of course, are not just possible but advisable. Chopped fresh fennel or chopped onion are spectacular additions.

Cooked over high heat, whether on a grill or in a pan or broiler, until just done, the result is consistently juicy, super flavorful and sublimely tender. And it browns, developing a dark, crisp crust like no beef burger I’ve ever had.

Since this is a personal story, in part, let me note another revelation of the ’70s, when my friend Semeon Tsalbins introduced me to the lamb burger.

(The words are so adorable I’m surprised a fast-food chain hasn’t taken it up.) This is ground lamb — again, shoulder is best — highly seasoned and grilled rare. Because lamb is the most full flavored of the

Makes 4 burgers.

11⁄2 lb fatty sirloin or chuck, cut into 1-inch chunks 1 shallot 1 med garlic clove 1 TBS capers 2 anchovy fillets (optional) 1 ⁄2 C chopped parsley 1 ⁄2 tsp Tabasco sauce, or more to taste 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper to taste Chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices, to garnish (optional)

Pork — as in this grilled pork burger on a ciabatta roll with sautéed onions and peppers — can be paired with strong spices, salt and high heat to create a flavorful, juicy burger.

PORK-FENNEL BURGER Makes 8 burgers.

1 fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into large chunks 3 to 4 garlic cloves 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, with some of the fat, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 tablespoon fennel seeds 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or more to taste Peeled orange slices, chopped olives, chopped parsley, chopped roasted red pepper and fennel slices, to garnish (optional)

If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put fennel and garlic into a food processor and pulse until just chopped; remove to a large bowl. Put pork fat in processor and grind until just chopped; add to bowl. Working in batches, process meat with fennel seeds and caraway, if using, until meat is just chopped (be careful not to over-process). Add to bowl and mix well. Shape mixture into 8 patties.

To broil or grill, cook about 5 minutes on each side, turning once after 4 or 5 minutes and again as necessary, 8 to 10 minutes total.

For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. When browned, turn. Total cooking time is about 10 minutes. (They can remain ever-so-slightly pink in the center.)

Garnish with peeled orange slices, chopped olives, chopped parsley, chopped roasted red pepper and fennel slices, to taste.

If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put beef, shallot, garlic, capers and anchovy, if using, into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground — finer than chopped, but not much. Put it into a bowl with parsley, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix gently, then taste and adjust seasoning. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.

To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness.

For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.

Garnish with chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices.

everyday meats, it makes a more delicious plain burger than beef. Cooked with nothing but salt, it’s fantastic. Cooked with a variety of spices, it’s a game-changer. You will begin grinding lamb routinely, if you haven’t already. You can also stuff it, as Tsalbins does on occasion, with smoked mozzarella.)

There is room in this picture for seafood, too. Of course, there are salmon and tuna burgers and, now that I think of it, one could easily call a crab cake a crab burger. Still, because they lack fat, they make a nice burger but not a crunchy-crusted, dripdown-the-chin one.

So why not take a cue from the shu mai dumpling, which mixes shrimp and pork? This gives you uncommon flavor in a burger — not only from the

shrimp, but also from the combination of Asian ingredients — with adequate fat.

Experiment away All of the recipes above, including the souped-up beef burger made with traditional steak tartare seasonings, have three things in common, and these will hold true for any of your own best improvisations: a fair amount of fat, a heavy hand with seasonings and a meat grinder or food processor.

Traditional sausage contains 30 percent fat, or more. This is perhaps a bit excessive by today’s standards, and I’m quite happy with considerably less than that, but be forewarned: If you go to 90 percent lean, you’re sacrificing a great deal of tenderness, juiciness and flavor. The main reason

that most chicken, turkey and other alternative sausages are such failures is exactly because they’re low fat. Shoulder, whether pork, lamb or beef — also known as chuck — is the most suitable of the commonly available cuts.

Neck meat, if you can find it, is perhaps even better. Do not trim away too much fat.

The grinding is simple. Whether you use a food processor or a grinder, keep the meat fairly coarse. You don’t want a purée, but what used to be called chopped meat. If you’re using ingredients you want minced — garlic, for example — you’re better off preparing them separately, by hand or by machine, to get them small enough.

As for the seasonings, they can be taken in any direction you like.

But if you feel the need for pickles, mustard, onions and ketchup,

I suggest you are not adequately seasoning the meat itself. That’s all right; you can try again next time. You’ve got all summer.

How best to freeze all that summer produce McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

My daughter has planted her first vegetable garden.

Will it be hard for her to freeze the vegetables she harvests?

Freezing vegetables is simple as long as you remember a couple of things.

A:

Many vegetables continue to ripen after they are picked. Enzymes in the vegetables continue ripening, converting the sugar into starch.

To stop that, you need to heat them quickly and then stop the cooking.

Bring a pot of water to boil and have a bowl of ice water ready.

Drop the vegetables, trimmed as necessary, into the water for a short time, remove them and drop them into the ice water. Drain and package them in resealable freezer bags, pressing out as much air

as possible. Label and freeze.

The blanching time will vary according to the vegetable. For a good list, go to the University of Georgia’s National Center for Home Food Preservation, at www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/freeze/ blanching.html.

H COVER STORY

Historic Continued from F1

Original craftsmanship Underneath it all, Smiley and Howe found the beauty of the original wood floors and millwork, including crown and base molding and built-in cabinets and shelves, all hallmarks of Craftsman design. The old, worn-out carpet that covered the floors when they bought the house actually protected the original fir floors for a quarter of a century.

The couple took the house down to the studs in some areas while still keeping with the original design — both on the inside and outside.

“The house was originally a story and a half, but we enlarged the one existing dormer and built another matching dormer and raised the ceiling 16 inches to make the upstairs a true living space,” explained Howe, a firefighter who in his spare time likes to do woodworking projects.

To accommodate their three growing children, the couple made the house into a four-bedroom, two-bath home. By bumping up the ceiling upstairs, Howe was able to create two larger bedrooms and a full-size bathroom without disturbing the look of the facade of the home from the street. Even when expanding, the couple took great care to replace everything — from windows to

lights — with appropriate reproductions from that era.

Throughout most of the 2,800square-foot house, the couple saved the original windows.

“You can see these are the old wavy kind of glass, we just love it,” said Smiley, pointing to her original dining room windows.

“We look for this old wavy glass, so if we ever have to replace a pane, we’ll be able to replace it.

All the windows are also sealed with interlocking zinc winter stripping.”

Historic neighborhood In 2001, Smiley and Howe were instrumental in getting this neighborhood from Broadway to Hill Street designated as Bend’s first historic district. The couple spent many years doing their homework, not only on their house, but on the entire neighborhood.

“Shevlin-Hixon Company, the old mill that operated here, bought most of Delaware Avenue and developed it to sell to their employees. They made a big issue out of home ownership,” explained Howe. “The larger houses on the 400 block presumably went to midlevel management at the mill, and the smaller houses were bought by foremen.”

The Smiley-Howe home was originally owned by Frank and Marie Kelleher, according to Howe’s research. Frank Kelleher was the superintendent of the planer shed at the Shevlin-Hixon lumber mill.

Howe said several years ago, the Kellehers’ daughter, Pat Wilburn, came back to visit Bend and the old house.

Barbara Smiley and Dave Howe restored their vintage Craftsman bungalow on Bend’s west side.

AT TOP: Frank and Marie Kelleher were the original owners of the Smiley-Howe home. in the juniper trees between Delaware Avenue and downtown,” said Howe. “We were also told the two fir trees on the west side of our house were originally dug up by the Kellehers on the McKenzie Pass and replanted there. They’re now 70 to 85 feet tall.”

A large front porch welcomes visitors to the Smiley-Howe home.

The porch was fitting for the time, and its indigenous wood blends with the natural surroundings.

“Delaware Avenue was also ... (the) first paved street in the city of Bend,” said Howe, who surmises that people would sit on the porch and wave to friends and neighbors going by.

The couple did tear down the original chimney and had it rebuilt to modern safety codes, and though it’s a bit bulkier, they report it works like a charm.

“The original fireplace was made of brick, and the hearth

As with the door knobs, Smiley and Howe saved the original windows in their home. was faced with river rock. Many of these rocks are still found in the backyard,” said Howe. “We had to replace the fireplace because it smoked, and the chimney didn’t draw well because it was too shallow.”

Over many decades, the old, smoky fireplace had left a deep, crusty layer of grime over the original chandeliers in the home, but the couple thought there would be beauty found underneath the grime. Sure enough, when scrubbed, the original detailed light fixtures were revealed to have a beautiful brass patina with small details of color.

Leaving the original mantelpiece above the hearth, the couple once again used a lot of elbow grease to bring the mantle and all the woodwork in the home back to its original glory.

All the doors and doorknobs are original to the home.

“We took 15 of the original doors to Portland to have (them) stripped. We put those doors on top of our van and went across the snowy pass to have them professionally refurbished; they had at least an inch worth of old paint on all of them,” explained Howe. “We’d still be stripping them, if we had to do it ourselves.

And look at these doorknobs — they’re all original. Aren’t they beautiful?”

The home’s history Though they don’t know all the lore of the house, Howe said they were told that during World War II, the small upstairs area was used as a boarding room for three army officers’ wives, who were stationed at Camp Abbot (now Sunriver). At that time, there was only one downstairs bathroom.

Besides skillfully adding an extra bathroom and bedroom, the couple also enclosed an original laundry porch and added a comfortable family room in the back of the house.

A bonus room in the house is a finished basement.

“It is said many people around here had apple trees in their backyard, because they used the apples as a source of homemade moonshine during Prohibition,” said Howe, who said there was an apple tree in their backyard. “Pat, the daughter, recalled that her father also brewed beer in this basement.”

Howe said most of the homes on Delaware Avenue have basements, which is unusual for Bend because of the extremely rocky ground.

The small original garage was leaning precariously and couldn’t safely be saved, so Howe and Smiley built a new garage with an upstairs art studio. But they still managed to salvage all they could from the original garage.

“It was lined with 1-by-9-inch pine from Shevlin-Hixon. We saved all the boards and have reused many. Some of those boards have the name of the mill stamped on them,” explained Howe. “The old pine has turned very hard with age, and it has a beautiful patina. We used some of them for the treads on the stairs in the (art) studio.”

When Howe and Smiley bought the house, it was all knobs and tubes, an antique method of electrification, so they replaced the electrical wiring to meet modern code. But when buying a historic home, Smiley said, people shouldn’t be deterred by restoration.

“A lot of people think it will be too costly to restore, but it can be done reasonably, and for much less than building up a new home,” she said. “The biggest thing is to save these old houses instead of just tearing them down. My goal is to raise awareness about the history, which is good for everybody. You can’t just mow down history, because history gives us a sense of community, a sense of place. It’s the basis of sustainability.”

Shawn Verrall grows upside-down tomato plants in his garden in Redmond, Wash. Verrall turned to upside-down gardening last summer as an experiment. “I put one tomato plant in the ground and one upside down, and the one in the ground died.”

It’s a growdown!

Gardeners who flip sing style’s praises

By Kate Murphy New York Times News Service

If pests and blight are wrecking your plants, it might be time to turn your garden on its head.

Growing crops that dangle upside down from homemade or commercially available planters is growing more popular, and its adherents swear they’ll never come back down to earth.

“I’m totally converted,” said Mark McAlpine, a body piercer in Guelph, Ontario, who began growing tomatoes upside down two years ago because cutworms were ravaging the ones he planted in the ground.

He made six planters out of 5gallon plastic buckets, some bought at the Home Depot and some salvaged from the trash of a local winemaker. He cut a 2-inch hole in the bottom of each bucket and threaded a tomato seedling down through the opening, packing strips of newspaper around the root ball to keep it in place and to prevent dirt from falling out.

He then filled the buckets with soil mixed with compost and hung them on sturdy steel hooks bolted to the railing of his backyard deck. “Last summer was really hot so it wasn’t the best crop, but I still was able to jar enough whole tomatoes, half tomatoes, salsa and tomato sauce to last me through the winter,” said McAlpine, who plans an additional six upsidedown planters this year.

Sprouting fad Upside-down gardening, primarily of leggy crops like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, is more common partly because of the ubiquity of Topsy Turvy planters, which are breathlessly advertised on television and have prominent placement at retailers like Walmart, Walgreens and Bed Bath & Beyond. According to the company that licenses the product, Allstar Products Group in Hawthorne, N.Y., sales this year are twice last year’s, with 20 million sold since the planter’s invention in 2005. Not to be outdone, Gardener’s Supply and Plow & Hearth recently began selling rival upside-down planters.

“Upside-down gardening is definitely a phenomenon,” said Steve Wagner, senior product manager for Plow & Hearth.

The advantages of upsidedown gardening are many: It saves space; there is no need for stakes or cages; it foils pests and fungus; there are less, if any, weeds; there is efficient

Donald Rutledge grows tomatoes in his hanging garden at his home in New Braunfels, Texas. Growing crops upside down deters pests and weeds, and saves space, backers say. delivery of water and nutrients thanks to gravity; and it allows for greater air circulation and sunlight exposure.

While there are skeptics, proponents say the proof is in the produce.

Tomato and jalapeño seedlings sprout from upside-down planters fashioned out of milk jugs and soda bottles that hang from the fence surrounding the Redmond, Wash., yard of Shawn Verrall, a Microsoft software tester who blogs about gardening at Cheapvegetablegardener.com. Verrall turned to upside-down gardening last summer as an experiment.

“I put one tomato plant in the ground and one upside down, and the one in the ground died,” he said. The other tomato did so well, he planted an jalapeño upside down, too, and it was more prolific than the one he had in the ground. “The plants seem to stay healthier upside down if you water them enough, and it’s a great way to go if you have limited space,” he said.

While horticulturists, agronomists and plant scientists agree that pests and blight are less likely to damage crops suspended in the air, they said they are unsure whether growing them upside down rather than right-side up will yield better results.

“Growing things upside down seems like a fad to me, but I’m glad people are fooling around with it and hope they will let us traditionalist gardening snobs know what we’ve been missing,” said Hans Christian Wien, a horticulture professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

Continued from F1 Edging is essentially a border between grass and a flower bed, tree well or landscape feature.

The idea is to separate different textures and plantings, create a clean break between the two, and make a pleasing shape or design.

But the wrong frame or edging can look hideous. The edging material should match the house and the rest of the yard, should have a width comparable to the yard size and should add to the beauty without drawing attention to itself.

“Edging is an aesthetic choice,” says Jarrod Levin, owner of Aspen Landscape Development in Bend. “The edging is generally put in to help solve a maintenance issue.”

Before you consider any edging, decide if you want to reshape the lawn and get an idea of what the finished shape may look like.

Try using a garden hose; arrange the hose in whatever shape might look pleasing, then step back and see if the shape will work. Manipulate the hose until its shape creates the edge you’d like to see on your lawn. (Quick tip: If there are long straight lines in your landscape, make sure the edging line is as straight as possible. Long edges are hard to keep straight, and if you mess up, you’ll have a long time to look at it.)

Tyler Roemer / The Bulletin

Soft edging around a tree well — done with a gas or electric trimmer — produces a sharp line between the grass and the soil, but will require frequent maintenance to prevent the grass from creeping into the tree well.

Installing Central Oregon has its own set of unique gardening challenges, and one of them is frost heave.

The area’s pattern of freezing and thawing will push bulbs and small shrubs out of the ground, Levin said, and it will do the same with any type of edging.

“Anything you stake into the ground will heave and move,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of edging you use.”

But if you opt for installing edging, and have decided on the design, then prepare for installation.

Take a small, flat shovel and cut a straight line through the turf, digging down vertically about 4 to 5 inches. Remove the turf as you go.

Edge material can be anything from cut-out tree stumps to thin metal edges and anything in between. Here are a few choices: • Concrete edging is “the most bold” edging, Levin said, and is essentially a poured curb, between 6 and 8 inches wide. Concrete is easy to form, he said, and most people can do the work themselves with minimal training.

“Concrete will definitely keep the grass out,” Levin said. “But it will crack, and eventually, the grass will start growing in the crack and make it deteriorate faster.”

With concrete color mixes available, edging in any shade is possible. The long life and potential for being repainted with cement or acrylic colors makes concrete cost effective.

• Interlocking preformed concrete bricks are a substitute for concrete edging material. The bricks are made in molds under pressure and have good strength.

The pieces are of uniform shape and size and can be interlocked.

The interlocking capability makes the installation easy and no particular skill is required to set them. The bricks are available in many colors and designs.

Customizing the bricks is easy, and you can even select a unique design with a large order, but a custom design makes maintenance difficult. Unless you have ordered and kept several extra custom-made bricks, you will not be able to replace a broken brick.

With weather, the bricks will change color. Even if you have a replacement brick, the bright, new-looking piece will stand out.

• Wooden fence-type edging has been popular for a long time.

Wooden edging is used for a rustic appearance and when you don’t want particularly distinct lines between the lawn and the border.

The wooden edging may consist of smaller stumps of wood, and this style is best for keeping decaying vegetative material where it belongs. Wood can also be purchased in sheet form to use as edging. The sheets are thinner in width and can be bent in shape and fixed in the ground.

• Steel edging can be long-lasting and colorful, and it doesn’t usually require much maintenance.

This types of edging includes powder-coated steel wire fences and steel strips installed below the

RIGHT: Wooden edging, however, is a pleasing, aesthetic choice, and will keep edges between grass and flower beds clean. surface of the ground. Wire fence edging is mostly a decorative choice; it won’t prevent grass from creeping into the flowerbed.

• Plastic can replace the steel edging at a fraction of the cost and initially, it can look as good. But many people don’t like the look of plastic, Levin said, and chances are, plastic won’t look good over the long haul.

“I don’t recommend plastic,” he said. “It may work for a while, but the heaving will eventually make it crooked. The plastic ages quickly, and it will have to be replaced

sooner than some of the other materials.”

In the end, you may decide the best choice of edging is to do without it, Levin says.

“Any edging material will have some sort of problem,” he said.

“You can get a $30 electric trimmer, and trim your edges every time you mow. It won’t take that much time and your yard will look better.”

Surprising chicken, ideal for summer

By Julie Rothman

RECIPE FINDER

The Baltimore Sun

Dyann Shaver, of Madras, was looking for a recipe she has lost for making a nontraditional type of barbecued chicken that used concentrated lemonade in the sauce. She said she found the recipe in an article about barbecuing in Better Homes and Garden magazine in the 1970s.

Steve Newman, of Santa Rosa, Calif., shared his recipe for making barbecued chicken with lemonade concentrate.

He said that while concentrated lemonade might seem like a surprising ingredient, this chicken never fails to please.

He also said that he sometimes substitutes limeade or orange juice concentrate with equally tasty results.

This simple-to-make chicken has a slightly sweet, lemony fresh flavor that makes an ideal spring or summer supper. Left-

Irises usually need to be divided every three to four years (depending on the type) to ensure the plants thrive.

Martha Stewart Living

Q: A:

How do I divide my irises, and when is a good time to do so?

For irises to flourish, they need to be divided into smaller plants when clumps become crowded and flowering declines, usually every three to four years. The type of irises you have will determine how and when to divide. The four most common are reticulated iris, which flowers in early spring; Dutch iris, in mid- to late spring; bearded iris, in late spring to early summer; and Siberian iris, in early summer. Reticulated and Dutch irises grow from bulbs, whereas bearded and Siberian irises grow from rhizomes (thick underground stems). To divide bulbous irises, wait until the foliage and flowers have withered completely; this will give the plant a chance to gather energy.

It’s best to divide Siberian and bearded irises immediately after they have flowered, so the plants will have the maximum amount of time to recover before winter.

Choose a cool, cloudy day to divide. Lift the entire clump with a sturdy border fork, and inspect it carefully, discarding any withered, corky or dry parts. For bulbous irises, gently pull apart the individual bulbs and replant them about 3 inches below the soil’s surface. For bearded and Siberian irises, rhizomes should be cut into pieces with a sharp knife, making sure each has a growing point or foliage “fan.”

Replant the rhizomes at soil level, and do not apply mulch, as it encourages rot.

If you end up with more irises than you need for your garden, give the extras to friends and neighbors. Be sure to include instructions for proper planting, and avoid leaving bulbs or rhizomes out of soil for more than a day or two; they might not revive if left to dry out.

Q: A:

When should I use a blender, and when is a food processor better?

In general, a blender is for tackling liquids and a food processor is the go-to gadget for solid foods. Given the processor’s different attachments — the S-curve blade is the basic one — the appliance can slice and grate vegetables, cut butter into pastry dough and chop nuts. It’s great for whipping up hummus and pesto, and the shallow bowl makes scooping easy. Although you can purée with a food processor, the blade cuts through the mixture instead of blending it, so the result sometimes falls short of the desired silky texture.

When you want a smooth consistency, use a blender. Its short, angled blades and multiple speeds make it suitable for puréeing a soup, mixing a smoothie or even crushing ice (if you have a high-powered model). Plus, the

tall jar can hold a greater volume than most processors. A handheld immersion, or stick, blender is another option. Because it’s inserted directly into a pot, an immersion blender is ideal for large batches.

Sometimes, either appliance might work well, depending on the purpose. Consider homemade baby food: You might first use a blender to make an easyto-swallow vegetable purée.

Then, when the child is ready for chunkier foods, switch to a food processor.

Q:

I’ve relocated my flower bed and now need to remove a long strip of grass that’s about 2 feet by 50 yards. What’s the best way to do this?

You can rent a sod cutter, a machine that goes under the roots of the grass and lifts it up like sod. Then you can replant it or give it away. Or turn it upside down and add it to your compost pile. If you don’t want to rent a machine, the other option is to dig underneath the grass with a flat spade. But that will take a long time. I suggest using a sod cutter. It’s definitely worth it.

When cooked, mussels open up and reveal a morsel of sweet meat that ranks as a top food for omega-3 fatty acids. The May/June issue of EatingWell magazine reports how good omega-3s are for the brain — improving moods and possibly mental health — as well as having heart health benefits.

For a quick meal for two, you can’t beat mussels — an easy and inexpensive option — about $5 for 2 pounds.

Most mussels are sold in netted or perforated bags, which makes it easy to sniff and inspect them. When buying mussels, check the date on the package and make sure they smell fresh. Blue mussels are the most common ones sold at grocery stores and have a dark blue-black oblong shell. They are about 2 to 3 inches long.

When buying mussels, even in the bag, make sure the shells are tightly closed. Or, if they are slightly open, they should snap shut when tapped. This is a sign that they are alive and fresh.

Avoid mussels that seem

heavy; this could mean they are full of sand or mud.

It’s best to cook mussels soon after buying them, but they will keep about two days in the refrigerator. Keep the mussels in their original package when storing. Place the package in a large bowl on top of a bed of ice. This will keep them cold and allow them to breathe.

Keep an eye on the ice, and drain away the water. You don’t want them sitting in the water.

Cover the mussels loosely with a few damp paper towels.

When ready to cook, remove the mussels from the bowl and the netting. Check the mussels again, and make sure they are alive. Toss out any that are open or that don’t close when tapped.

Scrub the mussels under cold running water and trim away any beards hanging from the shells.

The cooking is easy. Steam them in a small amount of clam juice, wine or water for about 4 minutes or until the shells open.

Be sure to discard any mussels that don’t open, but don’t discard the cooking broth.

Serve the mussels, drizzled with the broth and plenty of crusty bread to sop it up.

2 C white wine such as sauvignon blanc 1 C bottled clam juice or water from cooking pasta 1 C chopped or diced tomatoes 1 ⁄3 C chopped fresh parsley plus additional for garnish 2 TBS fresh lemon juice 4 half-inch-thick pieces, diagonally sliced French baguette

In a large stockpot, bring 6 quarts of water seasoned with sea salt to a boil.

Add the pasta and cook al dente, according to package directions. Remove 1 cup of the pasta cooking water if not using clam juice, and drain.

Meanwhile, prepare the mussels by scrubbing them under cool water and debearding them. Discard any mussels that are already open or that don’t close when you tap on the shell. Set aside.

In the same pot the pasta was cooked in, heat the olive oil with the butter. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add the shallots and red pepper flakes, and sauté another 2-3 minutes or until shallots are lightly browned. Add the wine and clam juice or reserved pasta cooking water, tomatoes, parsley and lemon juice, and bring to a boil.

Add the mussels, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook about 4 minutes or until the shells open.

Remove the pot from the heat.

Divide the cooked pasta among two serving bowls.

Discard any mussels that did not open. Using a slotted spoon, remove the opened mussels and place on top of the pasta.

Pour some broth over the mussels and the pasta. Serve the remaining broth on the side with the baguette for dipping.

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 9/15/2010. 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.

The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 8/16/2010 (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. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service.
