Dangerous gateway drug that will lead your children to a sordid life of addiction? Or ... New Age Enya soundtrack?!

Teens, in pursuit of their inalienable right to try to get high off of anything that can be ingested, digested or harvested, are apparently now trying to get high off of MP3s. Put that in your PC and smoke it. But first, give it a trendy name.

Call it “i-dosing.”

The adolescents can be seen on YouTube, wearing headphones, listening to pulsing soundtracks that supposedly simulate the effects of recreational drugs. They giggle. They gyrate.

They flutter their hands in front of their faces.

‘Hyena man’ keeps the peace between humans, animals

SISTERS — The Rooster Rock Fire pushed to the southwest Wednesday, growing to more than 4,600 acres as ponderosa pines ignited and plumes of black and brown smoke billowed up in the sky south of Sisters.

But officials expressed concern about what will happen today, as weather forecasters predicted a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

And thunderstorms can bring strong and erratic winds, said Alexis West, public information officer for the fire, which could lead to unpredictable — and therefore more dangerous — fire behavior.

Today “will be a little more dicey,” West said.

The possibility of unstable conditions is one of the reasons fire offi-

cials ordered a 600-acre burnout in the southwestern section of the fire Wednesday evening.

In a burnout, crews light a fire in advance of the wildfire, to consume the trees and shrubs so that if the fire tries to move in that direction, it runs out of fuel and dies down, West said.

The burnout was very visible and created a lot of smoke Wednesday evening, she said, but was expected to help stop the fire’s progress.

The winds were moderate, but most of the Rooster Rock Fire’s spread was due to the dried out vegetation, dead trees and piles of tree limbs in the area, she said.

“The fuels in that area are extremely dry, and there’s very dry slash piles and a lot of beetle kill,” West said, “so it’s very combustible.”

Thunderstorm threat causes concern as the blaze expands to 4,600 acres

Bend-based Cascade Bancorp will roughly break even in its second quarter that ended June 30, according to a financial statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday.

It will be the first time since late 2008 the company has not reported a quarterly net loss.

“That’s good news,” Patricia Moss, president and CEO of Cascade Bancorp, the parent company of Bank of the Cascades, said about the preliminary results.

The company will release its complete earnings report by Aug. 15.

The second quarter also showed a 10 percent decline from the previous quarter’s approximately $160 million in nonperforming assets, Moss said, and a 30 percent decline from the second quarter of 2009. The bank also had a stronger reserve for loan and lease losses.

Moss and Chief Financial Officer Greg Newton wouldn’t say whether the second-quarter results signal a turnaround for the company, which had seen a net loss for six consecutive quarters, beginning with fourth quarter 2008 and running through first quarter 2010. The company had a total net loss of more than $260 million during that period.

HARAR, Ethiopia — Here in this medieval city in eastern Ethiopia, the humans and the hyenas are living in peace. The truce began two centuries ago (or so the story goes) during a time of great famine.

There was drought in the hills where the wildlife roamed, and hungry hyenas had sneaked into Harar and eaten people. Distressed, the town’s Muslim saints convened a meeting and devised a solution: The people would feed the hyenas porridge if the hyenas would stop their attacks. The plan worked, and a strange, symbiotic relationship was born.

City leaders went on to create holes in the sandcolored stone walls that surround Harar to give the hyenas nightly access to the town’s garbage. And in the 1960s, a farmer started feeding hyenas scraps of meat to keep them away from his livestock.

That farmer was the first “hyena man.” Today the title belongs to Youseff Mume Saleh.

Visitation program helps area families

By Lillian Mongeau The Bulletin

Alisha Dobkins never thought the court would order that she was only allowed to see her daughter Hailey King, 5, during supervised visits.

But in the summer of 2007, the situation with her partner exploded and that’s exactly what happened.

So, once a week, Dobkins would arrive at Deschutes County’s only supervised visitation and exchange center, known as Mary’s Place, in Bend. She would wait in a room full of toys, coloring

books and art supplies for her daughter to be dropped off. And with a staff member watching the entire exchange, she would have a few hours to spend with her daughter.

At the time, she was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse, so the court would not grant her custody.

Dobkins did not want Mary’s Place to be the only location she could see her daughter, but she now credits the program with helping her to pull her life together and regain custody of her child.

Students in Mount Sinai’s humanities and medicine program visit the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as a part of their summer curriculum. The program at the Manhattan medical school admits about 35 undergraduates a year who have studied humanities or social sciences and maintained a 3.5 grade-point average.

Can a focus on humanities get you into med school?

The answer is yes (though the program at Mount Sinai has been something of a secret)

By Anemona Hartocollis New York Times News Service

For generations of pre-med students, three things have been as certain as death and taxes: organic chemistry, physics and the Medical College Admission Test, known by its dread-inducing acronym, MCAT. So it came as a shock to Elizabeth Adler when she discovered, through a singer in her favorite a cappella group at Brown University, that one of the nation’s top medical schools admits a small number of students every year who have skipped all three requirements.

Until then, despite being the daughter of a physician, she said, “I was kind of thinking medical school was not the right track for me.”

An ongoing debate Adler became one of the lucky few in one of the best-kept secrets in the cutthroat world of medical school admissions, the Humanities and Medicine Program at the Mount Sinai medical school in New York City.

The program promises slots to about 35 undergraduates a year if they study humanities or social sciences instead of the traditional pre-medical school curriculum and maintain a 3.5 grade-point average.

For decades, the medical profession has debated whether premed courses and admission tests produce doctors who know their alkyl halides but lack the sense of mission and interpersonal skills to become well-rounded, caring, inquisitive healers.

Organic chemistry is among the more traditional med school subjects studied by students in Mount Sinai’s humanities and medicine program, but they take an abbreviated course in the summer.

That debate is being rekindled by a study published July 29 in Academic Medicine, the journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Conducted by the Mount Sinai program’s founder, Dr. Nathan Kase, and the medical school’s dean for medical education, Dr. Robert Muller, the peer-reviewed study compared outcomes for 85 students in the Humanities and Medicine Program with those of 606 traditionally prepared classmates from the graduating classes of 2004 through 2009, and found that their academic performance in medical school was equivalent.

“There’s no question,” Kase said. “The default pathway is: Well, how did they do on the MCAT? How did they do on organic chemistry? What was their grade-point average?

“That excludes a lot of kids,” said Kase, who founded the Mount Sinai program in 1987.

“But it also diminishes; it makes science into an obstacle rather than something that is an insight into the biology of human disease.”

Some surprising results There are a few other schools in the U.S. and Canada that admit students without MCAT scores, but Mount Sinai appears to have gone furthest in eschewing traditional science preparation, said Dr. Dan Hunt, co-secretary of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the medical school accrediting agency.

The students apply in their sophomore or junior years in college and agree to major in humanities or social science,

rather than the hard sciences. If they are admitted, they are required to take only basic biology and chemistry, at a level many students accomplish through Advanced Placement courses in high school.

They forgo organic chemistry, physics and calculus — although they get abbreviated organic chemistry and physics courses during the summer They are exempt from the MCAT. Instead, they are admitted into the program based on high school SAT scores, two personal essays, high school and early college grades and interviews.

The study found that, by some measures, the humanities students made more sensitive doctors: They were more than twice as likely to train as psychiatrists (14 percent compared with 5.6 percent of their classmates) and somewhat more likely to go into primary care fields, like pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology (49 percent compared with 39 percent). Conversely, they avoid some fields, like surgical subspecialties and anesthesiology.

But what surprised the authors the most, they said, was that humanities students were significantly more likely than their peers to devote a year to scholarly research (28 percent compared with 14 percent). They scored lower on Step 1 of the Medical Licensing Examination, taken after the second year of medical school, which generally correlates with scientific knowledge.

But overall, they ranked about the same in honors grades and in the percentage in the top quarter of the class.

UNIVERSITY OF IOWA

Successful recruitment has its downside Miscalculation results in a freshman class that will be 10 percent larger than last year’s

By Jacques Steinberg New York Times News Service

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Like an airline overselling a flight, the University of Iowa extended admission this year to several thousand more applicants than it could accommodate on campus in this fall’s freshman class.

While nearly every university overbooks each year, relying on sophisticated algorithms that predict just how many admitted students will probably go elsewhere, Iowa officials were surprised to learn this spring how far off they were in their math. This fall’s freshman class is likely to have over 400 more students than last year’s, an unintended increase of about 10

percent, for a total of just more than 4,500.

Though the university considers this a happy accident — much of the growth has come from outside Iowa, including from schools as far away as China and India, whose graduates typically pay triple the tuition of state residents — the looming flood of new students has left the university scrambling to figure out where they will sleep, and how to fit them into some of the most popular courses.

In anticipation of the students’ arrival, the university has been securing local apartment buildings and temporarily converting open dormitory lounges into private spaces that can accommo-

date as many as eight beds.

That Iowa has emerged as one of the nation’s more popular public universities this year is a function, in part, of its aggressive marketing in other states and abroad. Its tuition for out-of-state students — $23,700 this year — also makes it more affordable than many private colleges, particularly those that have scaled back scholarship offers in an unstable economy.

The University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, the only Big 10 institution with a lower out-ofstate tuition than Iowa’s, also saw a jump in out-of-state applicants this year. While Minnesota was more accurate than Iowa in predicting the size of its freshman class this fall, it overshot its target in 2006 by 230 students.

While Iowa had intended to increase the size of its freshman class by about 500 — largely as

a way to raise tuition revenue — its plan was to do so by about 100 students a year. In effect, it met its five-year projection in the first year.

To increase diversity and offset state budget cuts with more tuition revenue, Iowa admissions officials traveled this year to China, South Korea and India in search of applicants.

In recent years, more American universities have drawn full-paying students, many interested in business and engineering, from these countries.

What Iowa did not count on was that so many of the international students who applied for this fall’s freshman class (2,200, an increase of 15 percent over last year) would wind up coming (nearly 430 as of now, an increase of 68 percent over last year). Almost 350 incoming students are from China alone.

WASHINGTON — Four forprofit colleges encouraged undercover applicants to commit fraud, and all 15 visited by undercover investigators made “deceptive or otherwise questionable statements,” according to a report by the Government Accountability Office released Wednesday.

The pervasive nature of the problems found by the GAO appeared to contradict the for-profit industry’s previous assertion that problems in the sector are limited to a few bad apples, senators said.

“GAO’s findings make it disturbingly clear that abuses in for-profit recruiting are not limited to a few rogue recruiters or even a few schools with lax oversight,” Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said at a hearing by the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Wednesday morning. “To the contrary, the evidence points to a problem that is systemic to the for-profit industry.”

Westech College in California, Medvance Institute in Florida, Anthem Institute in Pennsylvania and Westwood College in Texas — all privately owned schools — allegedly encouraged undercover applicants to commit fraud to qualify for federal aid.

The colleges were not named in the GAO report but were identified by the committee Wednesday.

The investigators told the colleges they had $250,000 in the bank. “Although we had enough money to pay for this, they told us to commit fraud so the federal government would pick up the tab,” said Gregory Kutz, managing director of forensic audits and special investigation for the GAO.

Industry responds as questions are raised The Career College Association, which represents for-profit colleges, said it found the results of the GAO investigation to be “deeply troubling” and would take steps immediately to help its members comply with regulations.

“Even if the problems cited in the GAO report are limited to a few individuals at a few institutions, we can have zero tolerance for bad behavior,” CCA President Harris Miller said in a statement.

The GAO investigation raised questions about some of the largest companies in the industry, including University of Phoenix campuses in Pennsylvania and Arizona; Everest College (owned by Corinthian Colleges Inc.) campuses in Arizona and Texas; Kaplan College campuses in Florida and California; and the Westwood College campus in Texas.

At Congress’ request, the GAO attempted to determine whether for-profit colleges engaged in fraud, deception or questionable marketing practices.

The GAO selected schools that received nearly 90 percent of their revenue from federal student aid or were located in states that received the most federal funding, among other factors.

GAO investigators posing as prospective students documented their experiences with cameras hidden in hats and portfolios.

According to the report, an admissions representative at MedVance Institute in Florida noted that unlike car loans, “no one will come after you if you don’t pay,” ans several admissions representatives tried to pressure undercover applicants into signing enrollment contracts before speaking with financial aid officers.

T S Details emerge in workplace shootings Beer company driver brought two guns to work in lunch pail

By Ray Rivera and Christine Haughney New York Times News Service

When Omar Thornton came to the Hartford Distributors warehouse Tuesday morning, his lunch pail contained not one, but two 9 mm handguns that he had often used at a nearby shooting range.

According to investigators, Thornton stashed the lunch box in a kitchen next to the office where, in minutes, he would learn if he was to be fired from his job as a driver for the Manchester, Conn., company.

O n c e inside the office, the disciplinary hearing went about as smoothly as such things Omar could, one Thornton person who was present said. The company, it turned out, had hired a private investigator, who had been tailing Thornton on his delivery route for weeks. They showed him videotape that apparently showed him stealing beer along his delivery route.

Thornton calmly remarked on the quality of the surveillance camera, signed a resignation letter and asked if he could get a glass of water from the kitchen. He got the guns instead.

He returned to the hallway and killed two of the men who had been in the hearing; one who had been defending his rights, the other who had been pressing the company’s case.

And over the next several minutes, at moments walking, at others in full chase, he roamed through the plant and the parking lot, shooting repeatedly.

Thornton, investigators and others with knowledge of his assault said, deliberately shot some of his victims — eight fatally — but appeared to purposely spare others before ending the rampage by killing himself.

“He didn’t have a master list saying these are the people he was going to go after, but based upon some of the people that were victims, it’s probably likely that he was targeting some individuals,” said Lt. Chris Davis of the Manchester Police Department.

On Wednesday, Thornton’s girlfriend expanded on claims he was motivated by anger and frustration at what she said was the racist treatment he was subjected to at the company. Officials with the union that represents workers at plant said Thornton never mentioned racial harassment.

GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL

Positive reports on leak are met with skepticism

By Campbell Robertson New York Times News Service

NEW ORLEANS — There is little celebration on the Gulf Coast.

Even with the news of the tentative plugging of BP’s well, the attention here has largely been focused elsewhere, on a week’s worth of reports, culminating in a federal study released Wednesday, that the oil in the Gulf of Mexico has been rapidly breaking down and disappearing.

These reports have been met, for the most part, with skepticism if not outright distrust. “It’s not gone,” said George Barisich of the United Commercial Fisherman’s

Alliance, who has been making his money these days selling anti-BP T-shirts while also working in the Vessels of Opportunity program, a BP effort created to employ boats to help with the spill cleanup. “Mother Nature didn’t suck it up and spit it out.”

According to federal scientists, about a third of the oil was captured or mitigated by recovery efforts, a quarter naturally dissolved or evaporated and 16 percent was dispersed into microscopic droplets. Just over a quarter remains on or below the surface or has washed ashore, and is either being collected or is

degrading naturally.

But many here have grown skeptical after the false assurances following Hurricane Katrina, the early flow rate estimates from BP and federal agencies that turned out to be drastically low, and cautionary tales from Alaska about the Exxon Valdez disaster.

The skepticism has been fed by continued discoveries of oil clumped in marshes, stratified underneath fresh sand or exposed in the surf at low tide. These sightings do not contradict the scientific reports, which acknowledge millions of gallons of residual oil, but they fuel a broadly held fear:

“Proposition 8 singles out gays and lesbians and legitimates their unequal treatment.” — U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker

LOS ANGELES — Heart health depends in no small part on diet and exercise, but genes are also crucial. Now, scientists involved in a massive genetic study have come a step closer to understanding the latter’s role, identifying 95 DNA regions associated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Of those regions, 59 had not previously been identified and may, with further research, lead to new treatment options.

“It’s a gold mine of new discovery,” said Dr. Daniel Rader, a geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania medical school and co-author of two new studies on the research. Both were released online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Judge overturns ban on same-sex marriage California law is unconstitutional, jurist decides, but ruling is sure to be appealed

By Howard Mintz San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Re-establishing California as the nation’s chief battleground over samesex marriage, a San Francisco federal judge on Wednesday struck down the state’s latest attempt to outlaw gay nuptials and triggered a tempest by boldly declaring that gay and lesbian couples should have the immediate right to start walking down the aisle.

In a ruling expected to serve as the first draft in a drawn-out legal battle, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker concluded that voter-approved Proposition 8 tramples on the rights of

gay and lesbian couples, has no social justification and is unconstitutional. “Proposition 8 singles out gays and lesbians and legitimates their unequal treatment,” he wrote in his 136-page opinion.

Walker agreed to put his ruling on hold until at least Friday to consider arguments on whether California should be barred from enforcing Proposition 8, a restriction that would allow samesex couples to marry right away.

The judge indicated he’s inclined to scrap Proposition 8 immediately, but legal experts predict a federal appeals court would then intervene and put same-sex marriages on hold while the le-

gal struggle continues.

The judge’s ruling marked another remarkable turn in California’s six-year-old legal and cultural war over the right of same-sex couples to marry. Gay rights groups hailed the decision and Proposition 8 supporters blasted it for thwarting the will of the voters.

The ruling, which could ultimately force the U.S. Supreme Court to address the gay-marriage issue, was based on an historic trial in January in the first federal court test in the nation of a state’s right to forbid same-sex marriage.

In the meantime, supporters of Proposition 8 vowed to appeal Walker’s order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

DNA regions linked to cholesterol levels identified

that the oil is merely hidden, liable to appear in a thick, brown ooze at any time.

BP has promised full compensation, but that has not stopped officials and residents from pursuing lawsuits or seeking billions more in restoration payments.

Just as the problems were being ironed out in the Vessels of Opportunity program, which had left many hurting commercial fishermen on the outside, recoverable oil started disappearing on the surface.

gathered from more than 100,000 people, researchers were able to identify subtle variations that could potentially affect heart health. Such variations hadn’t been visible in previous, smaller studies.

Differences within these regions explain 25 percent to 30 percent of the inherited portion of cholesterol and triglyceride levels across many ethnicities, including people of European descent, African-Americans and East and South Asians, researchers said.

“It’s the first step toward a better understanding of cholesterol metabolism,” said Dr. Alan Shuldiner, a geneticist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who was not involved in the research.

In most cases, the specific genes that affect cholesterol and triglycerides have not been iden-

tified, simply the larger regions of DNA in which they’re located.

The next step is to find the genes and figure out how they work. In the long run, this research could lead to new ways to treat people for high cholesterol or detect who may be at risk for heart disease.

The researchers, from a variety of institutions and universities, did identify four specific genes that could directly affect lipid levels. Highlighting the potential

of further study, they found that one particular gene is involved in a previously unknown metabolic process that can lower bad cholesterol.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday cleared the last major hurdle to approving a $26 billion aid package for cashstrapped states that is expected to keep some 140,000 teachers from being laid off nationwide and sustain medical care for the poor.

Governors from nearly every state had pressed for help in the face of falling revenues and state budgets decimated by the recession and lagging economic recovery. Many states had already counted on the extra federal aid in their spending calculations — raising the possibility of new budget crunches if the measure failed.

“All over the country right now, there are people breathing a big sigh of relief,” said Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., a former state schools superintendent, after two Republicans joined with all 59 Democrats to block a threatened GOP filibuster.

The Senate is scheduled to give its final approval to the bill today.

And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would call the House, which has already begun its August recess, back into session next week to approve the Senate bill and send it to President Barack Obama for his promised signature.

The aid for the states has been a priority for Obama administration.

“My experience is Mary’s Place is there for the children and stays out of taking sides.”

Fire

— Joel Kent, partner at the family law firm Stahancyk, Kent & Hook

Visits Continued from A1 Dobkins is one of a growing number of parents the court has deemed in need of Mary’s Place’s services, but the available funding for the program is shrinking. The mainstay of their financial security has been a federal Safe Havens grant from the federal Office of Violence Against Women that it reapplies for every few years, but even that grant is for slightly less each time it applies.

Demand for Mary’s Place has risen steadily since the facility opened its doors in 2006, according to Gail Bartley, the center’s program manager. In the last six months alone the center has gone from serving 38 families in the second half of 2009, to 62 families in the first half of 2010, according to a report filed with the Deschutes County Court.

Mary’s Place does receive some additional funding through independent fundraising by Saving Grace, a portion of family law-related filing fees from the Deschutes County Court and a small grant from the Deschutes County Commission on Children and Families. Those funds cover just over 50 percent of the center’s nearly $250,000 annual operating costs.

“It’s like threading the hole of a needle,” Bartley said of finding enough money to run the center. “(Available funding) diminishes slightly every year. It’s $20,000 less if we do get (the federal grant) this year than the grant we’re on now, which is less than the one before that.”

Mary’s Place has just finished an application for an additional three years of Safe Havens funding and will find out in September if the application was successful.

The group is confident they will receive the grant again, according to Janet Huerta, the executive director of Saving Grace.

If they do not, she said, there would be a rush to look for funding in other places. “If the money isn’t coming in we’re just like everyone else, we’d have to cut back, too,” Huerta said.

A safe place Deschutes County Judge Michael Sullivan said Mary’s Place, which charges for its services on a sliding scale based on income, fulfills a need that was previously covered only by expensive private visitation supervisors or family members who were often overly trusting of the non-custodial parent.

Sometimes the court had to resort to denying parenting time altogether because there was no safe option for feuding parents to meet and exchange their child or for supervised visits, Sullivan said.

In addition to providing a safe place for children to visit with their non-custodial parent, Bartley said the center’s staff works

phrase to describe her personality. “She’s a little fireball,” each said.

“We’ll go to the park, we’ll play Barbies, and she’ll dress up and play princess. Sometimes we’ll just go for a walk and she pushes her baby doll in the stroller,” Henry said of the time he spends with his daughter now. “She’s my world. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

This support for fathers is one of the primary reasons Bend lawyer Joel Kent, a partner at the family law firm Stahancyk, Kent & Hook, said he recommends Mary’s Place to his clients when the conflict between them is particularly high.

“With facilities that come and protect people in abusive situations, sometimes they’re seen as woman-oriented,” Kent said.

“Or a man may look at it as being anti-dad. But my experience is Mary’s Place is there for the children and stays out of taking sides.”

Alisha Dobkins, shown with her daughter Hailey King, 5, credits the Mary’s Place visitation program with helping her turn her life around. But funding is shrinking even as the need for such services grows. hard to help struggling parents to learn how to have a healthy and productive relationship with their children.

Mary’s Place is run by Saving Grace, the tri-county area’s only shelter for women suffering abuse from their husbands or partners. Saving Grace also operates a domestic violence hot line. And though visitation and exchange services exist throughout the state, Mary’s Place is unique in Oregon for its concentration on helping parents involved in domestic violence.

Close to 90 percent of the cases Mary’s Place sees involve some form of domestic violence, Bartley said.

“The overarching purpose of it is to prevent domestic violence,” Bartley explained. “That’s the linchpin of what this program is.”

Parents using the facility park in separate lots and enter through separate doors. Their arrival times are staggered so that the non-custodial parent is in the facility with a supervisor when the custodial parent arrives with the child(ren).

Most of the time, the non-custodial parent is also the one who has previously committed abuse, Bartley said. However, it is surprisingly common for women who have been living in abusive situations to lose custody of their children due to drug or alcohol abuse or their own violent behavior, Bartley said. She estimated that three in 20 cases at Mary’s Place fall into this category.

No matter the situation, if the non-custodial parent is late, the other parent will be called and advised not to come to the visit.

This is meant to avoid the potentially lethal situation that could result if an abuser planned to intercept the abused parent outside

the center, Bartley said.

Not all of the parents who use Mary’s Place are dealing with abuse. Some are simply going through such a contentious divorce or split they cannot see each other without erupting in anger.

Bartley and her staff take their role in preventing further domestic violence seriously. Research on domestic violence has shown that the time just after an abused person leaves an abusive relationship is the most most likely time for violence to escalate, Bartley said.

Working things out Dennis Henry, 38, saw his daughter Arlissa Henry, 5, during supervised visits at Mary’s Place for four years after his former partner, Jolene Spindler, 32, filed a restraining order against him. Spindler left Henry in late 2005 and took shelter at Saving Grace, which was then called COBRA. She said that despite her troubled relationship with Henry before she left him, she knew her daughter needed a father in her life. For a while, Spindler said, she would take Arlissa to visit Henry herself, but things were still too volatile to make this a healthy plan. Then she heard about the newly opened Mary’s Place.

“Well, they need to put one in every town for every situation in terms of being afraid of your partner or your husband,” Spindler said. “It got me out of the situation.”

Henry said when he first started at Mary’s Place in 2006, he was rebellious and using drugs.

“I didn’t understand why I had to have a babysitter to see my daughter,” he said.

Mary’s Place staff have been trained to be more than just babysitters, though, Bartley said.

They know how to stop visits if a parent arrives in an unstable condition or badmouths the other parent or the child. They have also been trained to give clear feedback on improving parenting skills and bonding with children.

The staff encourages parents to ask their children questions, to do arts and crafts with them and to play games with them.

As time wore on, Henry said he learned to appreciate this support. He said the Mary’s Place staff him made him realize that he had to work to be a better father if he wanted Arlissa in his life. So when the court ordered that Henry take a parenting class, he did. Then he voluntarily signed up for three more.

Now Henry and Spindler have finally reached an agreement that they are both happy with.

Arlissa stays with Henry every other weekend with no supervision. The rest of the time, she lives with Spindler.

“It’s been a long process to build that trust and see that he’s really changed to get that trust,” Spindler said of Henry. “Now, we’re able to work together and work things out. Without the feedback from Mary’s Place on the changes he’s made and counseling he’s done, I don’t know if I’d be able to see that change in him.”

Henry said he was proud of himself for becoming a better father and proud of Spindler for being willing to trust him again.

He said he knew how much work that had been for her. And though any romantic relationship the two once had is definitely over, they communicate regularly about how to raise Arlissa.

They even both used the same

’I am so happy with my mom’ Dobkins said that the neutrality she found at Mary’s Place allowed her to maintain a relationship with her child when she was in a bad situation. She said she was doing drugs, had physically attacked her mother and was homeless during the beginning of her time using Mary’s Place.

In June 2007, court records show, Dobkins’ partner filed a restraining order against her.

She also filed for prevention of domestic abuse against him. In the meantime, he had initial custody of their daughter.

“There were times when we had to stop visits because I was too emotional. (Mary’s Place staff) said, ‘OK, Alisha, we’re going to stop this visit.’ And I appreciate that,” Dobkins said.

“There were several times I went there when I shouldn’t have (because I was high). It was because I was being selfish and I wanted my daughter.”

With encouragement from the staff at Mary’s Place, Dobkins moved back home with her parents and began the long process of getting clean. In August 2009, she won custody of Hailey. She said she still does arts and crafts with her daughter, reads library books with her every night and plays outside with her on their swing set.

For Dobkins and her daughter Hailey, the process of regaining trust with Hailey’s father is moving slowly. In the meantime, Hailey said she was happy living with her mom and grandparents and Dobkins is working on a correspondence degree with the goal of becoming first a paralegal and then a lawyer. She said she wants to help other women in her position to figure out how the courts work and to file for custody of their children.

“Now I live with my mom,” Hailey said with a characteristic smile. “I just love her. And, well, I am so happy with my mom.”

Continued from A1 And Central Oregon’s wet spring led to more grasses and small plants than usual, said Heather Fisher, public information officer. And that means more vegetation to dry out and carry the fire.

“We’re at the time of year when everything is starting to dry up, so everything is receptive to burn,” she said.

More than 660 firefighters and other personnel were working on the fire Wednesday. Some crews focused efforts on getting a bulldozer line around the fire to prevent its spread, while others mopped up smoldering roots and logs along the perimeter of the burned area.

In the early afternoon, air tankers dropped retardant to try to prevent the spread of the fire. Later in the afternoon, the tankers stopped and at least three helicopters tried to cool down active parts of the wildfire with drops of around 1,500 gallons of water at a time.

“They’re making progress,” Fisher said, noting that fire is moving away from homes.

No new evacuations were ordered Wednesday, and the handful of Plainview residents who were evacuated on Monday evening were allowed to go to their homes and collect belongings with a law enforcement escort, according to the fire public information officers.

Sections of Forest Road 16 were closed due to the fire, as well as several surrounding forest roads.

The Peterson Ridge Mountain bike trail has been closed to public access, but the fire has not burned over the trail, said Rhonda Bishop, with the fire’s public information office.

“There’s no concerns with the trail,” she said, noting the trail is to the north of the south-moving wildfire.

“They’re just closing it because it’s in the area.”

Hyenas

Bank

Continued from A1 Lithe and quick, Saleh, who is unsure of when he was born but says he is in his early 50s, has high cheekbones, a pursed mouth and few words.

He lives just outside the city walls, near an ancient Muslim shrine built around the trunk of a splendid fig tree. His home sits on an old landfill, the ground sparkling with shards of broken bottles.

Saleh’s nightly feeding ritual has become an attraction for tourists, who hire guides to bring them here. He has grown accustomed to the flash of their cameras and the tips they slip him at the end of the night.

Although the money helps — Saleh has two wives and seven children to provide for — he insists that his custom is not motivated by profit. The hyenas have come to rely on him, he says, and he worries what might happen if he stops.

Across Africa, hyenas are reviled as baby snatchers and garbage scavengers, the villains of village folk tales.

But when they slink toward Saleh’s house at dusk each night — green eyes gleaming, boxy jaws looking so eager to snap — Saleh calls to them.

“Funyamure,” he coos.

“Tukwondilli.”

When a stranger later asks why he has given the animals names, Saleh sighs.

“We are family,” he says. “You have to understand.”

Continued from A1 The bank continues to operate under an order it received from banking regulators in 2009 to mend its financial well being. Key in the order is raising its capital levels, which the bank is attempting to do by lining up $150 million in private investment.

Bank of the Cascades appears to have secured the money, according to a federal lawsuit it filed last week against a Philadelphia-based investment firm. To secure the investment, the bank must finalize a financial deal the parties agreed to in October but which the firm is now allegedly rejecting, according to the suit.

If Bank of the Cascades is able to secure the $150 million investment, it would raise the bank’s total risk-based capital ratio to well above 10 percent, Moss said Wednesday, which was one mandate made by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

The second-quarter results show Bank of the Cascades ratios are climbing. Its Tier 1 ratio rose to 3.88 percent, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio rose to 5.08 percent and its total risk-based capital ratio rose to 6.37 percent during the second quarter, up from revised first-quarter numbers of 3.55 percent, 4.57 percent and 5.85 percent, respectively.

The FDIC told the bank to raise its capital levels to 5, 6 and 10 percent, respectively.

Bank of the Cascades’ second-quarter earnings were reported along with amended financial reports for the first quarter of 2010 and the full year

’I had to see’ Last winter, an odd guest showed up at Saleh’s home.

He was an Australian paleoanthropologist, and he wanted to know whether he could spend time with Saleh while conducting research for his Ph.D. on the city’s unusual social dynamic.

“I heard about this place in East Africa where hyenas walk the streets with impunity,” Marcus Baynes-Rock, 42, says. “I had to see.”

Since then, Baynes-Rock has grown close to the family. On many afternoons, he and Saleh can be found relaxing in the dark cool of the hyena man’s

Music Continued from A1 Though i-dosing has been around for several years — known by various terms, such as “digital drugs” — a March incident in Oklahoma prompted a new wave of concern. The Mustang public school district learned that kids were i-dosing and sent warning letters to parents. Since then, tech blogs and media outlets have debated the riskiness of the practice, and the software used for playing one company’s i-doses was downloaded nearly 29,000 times last week — more than quadruple what it was a few weeks ago.

What does the National Institute on Drug Abuse have to say?

“At this time, we are aware of no scientific data on this phenomenon,” reads a statement, “so NIDA cannot establish the validity of the claim that you can get high listening to these sounds.”

The center of this discussion is I-Doser.com, a website that touts itself as “The industry leader in ... audio doses to powerfully alter your mood.” There are other sites like it, though none quite so provocative.

On I-Doser, the digital drugs are purchased by downloading free software and clicking on individual tracks. For $3.95 users can download “Astral,” which claims to aid in out-of-body experiences; for $3 they can buy “Extend,” which supposedly prolongs sexual encounters. I-doses are anywhere from five to 30 minutes long. What you hear might sound like a wind tunnel or mating whales or Yanni.

The effects are made possible, purportedly, through “binaural beats,” where a tone of one frequency is played into the right ear and a slightly different frequency is played into the left. Believers say these beats synchronize brain waves, replicating the experience of being high on anything from alcohol to true love.

Binaural beats have been used as a meditation aid for decades.

I-Doser’s biggest contribution appears to be the dark names — the way it implies that their products are dangerous, baby, dangerous..

The founder is Nick Ashton, who said he would answer questions about I-Doser via e-mail and who — when presented with such questions as “What is your background?” and “Do you have a degree in a science?” — stopped responding to e-mails and voice mails.

Youseff Mume Saleh, of Harar, Ethiopia, has been feeding hyenas for years. As the animals slink toward his house at dusk, he calls to them by name.“We are family,” he explains. one-room home. They lounge on pillows, talk about hyenas and chew khat, a local plant whose leaves provide a mild stimulant effect. (People in Harar like stimulants: The region’s major export is coffee.)

“Their relationship is just like humans,” Saleh says of the hyenas. “Some fear the other. Some respect the other. Also, they have leaders.”

Baynes-Rock nods. “Some are aggressive and some are passive,” he says. “Some are very bright; some are brave.”

Over the course of eight months, Baynes-Rock has become a kind of hyena man himself.

Each night, once the hyenas have dined with Saleh, BaynesRock grabs his notebook, dons his night-vision goggles and follows the pack as it slinks through the town’s narrow alleyways.

Last month he married a local woman named Tikist. When they first met at a cafe, she spoke no English, and he had not yet begun learning her native Oromo tongue. He wooed her with photographs of hyenas.

Each year during the Muslim

festival of Ashura, the city celebrates the hyena-human peace that the saints arranged many years ago.

On that morning, people leave porridge and butter for the hyenas at the many shrines that dot the town. The hyenas’ reaction to the food is said to predict the new year.

If the hyenas clear their plates, the town should prepare for drought. If they spurn the porridge, danger is afoot. If they eat most of the food but leave some, the villagers can expect a prosperous year.

A close and sometimes tense relationship Baynes-Rock has spent some time with Saleh’s competition, another resident who feeds a different pack of hyenas for an audience of tourists each night. But he dismisses him as “a businessman, not a hyena man.”

Once, in the middle of the feeding, the other man answered a call on his cell phone. BaynesRock says he just doesn’t respect the hyenas the way Saleh does.

For millennia, hyenas have been

some of man’s fiercest predators.

Many of the earliest human fossils, including some that were discovered in Ethiopia’s Awash river valley, have tooth marks that came from ancestors of hyenas.

“For millions of years we’ve been living alongside these animals and developing a fear of them as well,” Baynes-Rock says. “You can see it in people’s eyes when they see the hyenas at night. It’s a primal fear.”

So why not in Harar?

Abdul-Muheimen Nasser has some answers.

The city historian and overall eccentric — he’s the only man in town who wears a backward baseball cap on his salt-and-pepper afro — says that hyenas are like “a transmitting station” that communicates news from the spirit world to humans.

He says that at the time Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I died while imprisoned in 1975, a woman who could communicate with the hyenas in town had predicted his death.

“The hyena is the go-between,” Nasser, 69, says. “He is like the CNN or the BBC.”

Top sellers Among I-Doser’s best-selling sounds and what they promise: Peyote: “Causes a mystical loss of oneself, disorientation of the senses, distortions in body image, distortions in perception.”

Ecstasy: “This is not for cuddle.

This was designed to make you explode in pure ecstasy, tingle your body, and melt your soul.”

Trip: “Feeling of awakening for the first time ever from a previous state of sleep, of liberation from what is now seen as a life-long state of bondage.”

Sources: I-Doser via The Washington Post

In the site’s FAQs, employees are identified, vaguely, as “underground musicians and tonal experts.”

Jamie Therrien is only 13, but he’s an I-Doser veteran, zoning out in front of his computer in Massachusetts every few weeks and offering tips to newcomers.

“The hallucinogenic ones are the weakest,” he says, expertly, but the sedatives and calming doses are pretty effective. Once, when he got in a fight with his brother, he downloaded a pickme-up called “Quick Happy” and almost immediately felt less angry.

People who fear digital drugs “are sort of right to be concerned, because pretty much anything with ‘drugs’ in it, you should be concerned about,” he says. “But ... they’re just stimulating different parts of the brain. ... I’ve never seen anyone go from I-Doser to the real thing.”

Jamie’s mother, Kim Hastings, isn’t overly concerned. “If he’s found something safe that makes him calm and happy, that’s great,” she says. Also, she says, “I don’t think he’s actually getting high.”

Are any users actually getting high? We turn to Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at McGill University in Montreal who studies music’s effects on the brain.

In preparation for the interview, Levitin spent the preceding evening i-dosing on a dozen or so different tracks from several websites. “As far as I know, I have not gone crazy,” Levitin says. “I am not hung over. I am not on an opium high.”

In fact, Levitin says, “the idea that these binaural beats would cause states that would mimic drugs is without scientific foundation.

Curators from the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory clean timbers from a 200-year-old ship discovered at Ground Zero in New York City in July.

Scientists hope to unlock mysteries of ship found at World Trade Center site

By Michael E. Ruane The Washington Post

ST. LEONARD, Md. — Once, this was a stout ship, with oak futtocks and floor timbers, fastened with iron nails, built with saw and adz and the calloused hands of shipwrights now long dead.

Two centuries ago, it was a simple coaster, hauling goods around the Eastern capes, armed against pirates, and ending its days at a wharf in New York City. As the years went by, it sank into the harbor mud, entombed beneath what would one day become the World Trade Center site.

Shortly after noon Monday, two trucks bearing the ship’s unearthed skeleton pulled into a Maryland science complex on the shore of the Patuxent River in St. Leonard, where scores of eager archaeologists and curators waited.

There, over the next few hours, workers unloaded the pieces one at a time, arrayed most of them on tarps and with hose and sponge, toothbrush and bare hands scrubbed away the muck of 200 years.

And there, over the next few weeks, scientists hope to discover when the ship was built, where it traveled, exactly how big it was and more about the bygone world in which it sailed.

The ship was discovered in New York on July 12 when its

ribs were spotted poking out of the muck as workers were excavating the World Trade Center site. Last week, the pieces were catalogued and removed by a team that included staff from Maryland’s state archaeological conservation laboratory, which specializes in such work.

It’s not clear how the ship got buried beneath the Twin Towers, which were destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

It could have been used as fill when the Manhattan shoreline was expanded into the Hudson River about 1800, curators say.

And it’s not clear what kind of ship it is. “Never seen anything exactly like this,” said Warren Riess, professor of maritime history and archaeology at the University of Maine and lead investigator on the discovery.

“I’m thinking still that it’s about the right size and construction to be what would have been called a coaster,” he said this week as he watched the timbers being unloaded. “A ship that went down the coast from New York to maybe Maryland, Virginia, Barbados, Boston ... carrying everyday cargo.”

The vessel was probably about 60 or 70 feet long and about 18 feet wide, he said. It probably had one or two masts, was a sloop or a brig, and sailed in the late 1700s and early 1800s, he said.

of 2009. The reports, known as call reports filed with the FDIC, are preliminary, basic versions of the bank’s quarterly financial numbers.

The two reports were amended because FDIC regulators told Bank of the Cascades in March to make its reserves for loan and lease losses deeper in 2009. Cascade Bancorp officials did so, but it caused other accounting changes in the full year 2009 and first quarter 2010 call reports.

The amended reports show an increase in Bank of the Cascades’ net loss for all of 2009, from $93.1 million to $114.8 million, as well as a reduced net loss for the first quarter of 2010, from $24.4 million to $11.3 million. Despite the amendments, Moss and Newton said the second quarter preliminary call report earnings would show break-even earnings.

By the end of the second quarter, the bank had accrued about $58 million in its reserve for loan and lease losses, money that is put aside to cover loans that may default. That number accounts for 4.27 percent of the value of the bank’s gross loans, according to the financial statement. It rose from 4.1 percent at the end of the first quarter, and 3.79 percent on Dec. 31, 2009. The reserve is helpful, like any savings, because it’s there as a financial buffer in case loans go south and the bank incurs losses.

Moss said most of Bank of the Cascades’ peers typically carry reserves equal to between 2 and 2.5 percent of gross loans.

FDA PROCESS REVAMPED

Medical device makers face new approval rules

By David Olmos and Sophia Yan Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Medical device makers Medtronic Inc., Johnson Johnson and Stryker Corp. face new safety rules under a revamped program laid out by regulators that may help speed approval of products from condoms to CT scanners.

The Food and Drug Administration released the proposed new requirements for the so-called 510(k) program that covers products similar to previously approved devices, or about 90 percent of products cleared for sale.

Medical device companies say the 510(k) process is rife with delays and inconsistent requirements, while consumer advocates say patients are at risk because of inadequate safety rules. The new proposals address both issues, giving device makers a more predictable process while insisting they provide more safety data, said Jeffrey Shuren, director

of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

The proposals “seem to respond to many of the concerns expressed by industry about the chaotic situation they regularly encounter in trying to deal with the FDA,” said Ira Loss, a senior health-policy analyst at Washington Analysis. “They seem to have taken a reasonable approach to a difficult situation that will still need lots of time to fix.”

While the rules announced late Tuesday include “a number of commendable steps,” there are more than 70 changes that “taken together could result in a significant disruption to a program that has served patients well for more than 30 years,” Stephen Ubl, chief executive officer of the Advanced Medical Technology Association, a Washington-based trade group, said in a statement.

As part of the new procedures, the FDA will create a Science Council for its medical device unit to “assure quality and consistency” about “some of the tougher science questions,” Shuren said.

PROTESTS FLARE IN RESTIVE KASHMIR

In disturbing trend, China is plagued by school stabbings

Suicide bombing kills Pakistan police official

4 killed in seventh attack since March

By Lily Kuo Los Angeles Times

BEIJING — The brutal killing of at least three children and a teacher at a school in northeastern China had residents confounded and authorities tight-lipped on Wednesday.

A man identified by state media as Fang Jiantang, 26, reportedly attacked kindergarten students and teachers with a knife Tuesday in a suburb of Zibo, killing four and injuring 20 staff and children. The man turned himself in to police, according to Singtao Daily, a Hong Kong newspaper. No motive has been established.

The attack was the seventh rampage in China since March. Almost all the cases involved middle-aged men targeting young children with household tools such as knives, axes, hammers and, in one instance, gasoline. The Zibo killings were not the deadliest but raised new concerns that the government was not making enough effort to stop the attacks.

In recent months, security has increased at schools. After the first spate of attacks, local authorities armed teachers with pepper spray and asked that they be instructed in selfdefense. National authorities got involved when the violence continued, issuing mandates for schools to hire police officers and sending armed troops to escort children to school.

Now gates and cameras have been installed at schools around the country. Teachers are reported to be trained in martial arts, and some schools have hired undercover security guards posing as parents.

Kashmiri protesters shout slogans near a burning government vehicle after they set it on fire during a protest in the Barthana neighborhood in Srinagar, India, on Wednesday. Relative calm prevailed in the restive Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir on Wednesday after days of violent clashes between troops and Kashmiri Muslims, but hundreds joined marches at many places in the region, protesting Indian rule over the Himalayan region.

Many of Japan’s centenarians are missing, officials admit

By Mari Yamaguchi The Associated Press

TOKYO — Japanese authorities admitted Tuesday they’d lost track of a 113-year-old woman listed as Tokyo’s oldest, days after police searched the home of the city’s official oldest man — only to find his long-dead, mummified body.

Officials launched a search this week for Fusa Furuya, born in July 1897 and listed as Tokyo’s oldest citizen, after it emerged her whereabouts are unknown.

Several other celebrated centenarians are also unaccounted for due to poor record-keeping and follow-up in a country that prides itself in its number of long-lived citizens but also frets about an unraveling of traditional family ties.

“It’s shocking that even relatives don’t know if their parents are alive or dead.”

— Yoshinori Hiroi, Chiba University professor and expert on public welfare Officials updating their records ahead of a holiday next month honoring the elderly found that Furuya does not live at the address where she is registered, said Hiroshi Sugimoto, an official in Tokyo’s Suginami ward.

Furuya’s 79-year-old daughter, whose name was not disclosed, told officials she was not aware of her mother’s registration at that address and said she thought

her mother was with her younger brother, with whom she has lost touch. But that address just outside Tokyo turned out to be a vacant lot.

The disappearance follows last week’s grisly discovery — also by officials updating the most-elderly list — that Sogen Kato, listed as Tokyo’s oldest male, who would have been 111 years old, had actually been dead for some 30 years and his decayed body was still in his home.

“It’s shocking that even relatives don’t know if their parents are alive or dead,” Chiba University professor Yoshinori Hiroi, an expert on public welfare, told public broadcaster NHK. “These cases were typical examples of thinning relationship among families and neighbors in Japan today.”

ISLAMABAD — A suicide bomb attack killed four people in Peshawar on Wednesday, including a top national police official who appeared to be the target of the blast.

Sifwat Ghayoor, commander of a paramilitary police force called the Frontier Constabulary, was killed when a lone suicide bomber on foot approached his car at a traffic light and detonated explosives, authorities in Peshawar said.

Two of Ghayoor’s bodyguards and a passerby were also killed.

Eleven people were injured.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for Ghayoor’s killing, said the group’s spokesman, Azam Tariq. The militant group has engineered numerous attacks on Pakistani police and intelligence agencies in the volatile northwest in the last couple of years.

Kenyans cast ballots on new constitution NAIROBI — Kenyans came out in large numbers Wednesday to vote for a new constitution that, if passed, promises to bring more accountability and rule of law to one of Africa’s most corrupt nations.

The referendum is taking place against a backdrop of fear and anxiety as many Kenyans worry that violence could again haunt their country as it did after the disputed 2007 elections, when more than 1,000 people died.

Tens of thousands of police officers have been dispatched across the country, including 18,000 to the Rift Valley, the

center of the 2007 violence.

But as of Wednesday evening, authorities reported few problems.

Iran denies reports of attack on president TEHRAN, Iran — Reports that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the target of a grenade attack prompted swift and vigorous denials by the Iranian government Wednesday, which said a firecracker had been thrown some distance from the presidential motorcade, according to Iranian news media. By all accounts, Ahmadinejad was unhurt.

According to Khabar Online, a government-licensed news service, the firecracker was thrown at a minibus carrying journalists in the presidential motorcade, about 100 yards behind the vehicle carrying Ahmadinejad. The person who threw the firecracker was arrested, the news service said.

U.N. defends Israeli account of clash JERUSALEM — The U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL, said Wednesday that it had concluded that Israeli forces were cutting trees that lay within their own territory before a lethal exchange of fire with Lebanese army troops, largely vindicating Israel’s account of how the fighting started.

The head of peacekeeping operations for the United Nations, Alain Le Roy, also said on Wednesday that U.N. peacekeepers had tried to prevent the clash.

Homeowner aid programs set to take effect in Oregon State told to shelve underwater mortgage program

By David Holley The Bulletin

Oregon can now begin implementing most of a five-part plan intended to aid an estimated 6,000 homeowners statewide with foreclosure prevention, the U.S. Treasury announced Wednesday.

By the end of 2010, Oregon Housing and Community Services plans to start using $88 million in federal Troubled Asset Relief Program dollars toward four homeowner assistance programs: one to spur loan modifications, another to temporarily assist homeowners with mortgage

payments, another to pay down borrowers’ loans and another to provide moving assistance to those who must leave foreclosed homes.

The Treasury told OHCS to drop a fifth part of the plan for now, which would have affected Deschutes County residents who are under water on their homes, meaning they owe more on their homes than they’re worth. It’s unclear whether that element of the plan may eventually be approved.

Lisa Joyce, policy and communication manager for OHCS, said the Treasury has asked her organization to provide more de-

“The door is not closed on this,” Joyce said. “We need to get more information.

We have a plan of how to do that. It’s really an innovative and creative approach to address what’s going on.”

Warm Springs to get Internet upgrade with $5.4M grant

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Improved Internet service is coming to residents of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, thanks to a $5.4 million grant announced Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The USDA has historically provided assistance to rural communities to develop utilities systems, and is distributing $2.5 billion for expanded broadband access as part of the 2009 stimulus bill.

Jeff Anspach, interim CEO of Warm Springs Telecommunications Co., said he was first told his company had won the grant on Tuesday, but was asked to stay quiet until the official announcement.

“I actually got a call yesterday and had to sit on my hands when I wanted to go tell everybody,” he said. “It was hard, because this means a lot to us.”

Wednesday’s announcement by the USDA includes 126 grants totaling $1.2 billion to improve broadband service in rural communities.

Oregon economic index falls again A University of Oregon index that tracks the state’s economy fell for the second consecutive month in June, but that’s not enough to declare the state’s headed for a double-dip recession, according to a report on the index released Wednesday.

Employment weakness contributed to the University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators falling 0.6 percent from May, said the report authored

by Timothy Duy, director of the Oregon Economic Forum at the university. Another drop in employment services payrolls, mostly for temporary hiring, suggests less hiring demand at a time when demand should be increasing, the report said.

Initial unemployment claims dipped, but they remain at a level consistent with weak job growth, the report said. Another index component, residential building permits, fell, as did the interest rate spread between 10-year Treasury bonds and the federal funds rate.

“Importantly, the UO index is still positive relative to six months ago,” the report said.

“Still the decline is consistent with slowing growth as the impacts of inventory correction and fiscal stimulus lessen. For job seekers, this is not good news, as slower growth would delay the onset of a more rigorous labor market recovery.”

young lawyers in the United States — at a fraction of the cost.

India’s legal outsourcing industry has grown in recent years from an experimental endeavor to a small but mainstream part of the global business of law.

Cash-conscious Wall Street banks, mining giants, insurance firms and industrial conglomerates are hiring lawyers in India for document review, due diligence, contract management and more.

Now, to win new clients and take on more sophisticated work, legal outsourcing firms in India are actively recruiting experienced lawyers from the West. And American and British

lawyers — who might once have turned up their noses at the idea of moving to India, or harbored an outright hostility to outsourcing legal work in principle — are re-evaluating the sector.

The number of legal outsourcing companies in India has mushroomed to more than 140 at the end of 2009, from 40 in 2005, according to Valuenotes, a consulting firm in Pune, India. Revenue at India’s legal outsourcing firms is expected to grow to $440 million this year, up 38 percent from 2008, and should surpass $1 billion by 2014, Valuenotes estimates.

Deal between Verizon and Google could pose threat to net neutrality

WASHINGTON — The housing boom that helped fuel U.S. economic growth and employment from 2000 to 2007 was an unsustainable bubble, and when it burst it not only sent the economy into a tailspin, but also left the U.S. economy struggling to create jobs.

A McClatchy Newspapers analysis of employment data

collected by the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the jobs that are being created as the economy recovers often don’t replace the ones that were lost when the housing boom collapsed.

The analysis suggests, in fact, that the recovery is slow in part because many unemployed workers don’t have the skills to fill the jobs that are now available.

“That’s an astute observation, and I think it’s accurate. How to retool to meet those new skills?” said Martin Regalia, the chief economist of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “I think it’s a longer-term issue. You are not going to retool someone who was a construction worker to handle motherboards. The skill matchup with the skill need is shifting as the economy recovers.”

WASHINGTON — Google and Verizon, two leading players in Internet service and content, are nearing an agreement that could allow Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content’s creators are willing to pay for the privilege.

The charges Inside could be paid • Google by compaloosens nies, like Yourules on ads Tube, owned in Europe,

Such an agreement could overthrow a once-sacred tenet of Internet policy known as net neutrality, in which no form of content is favored over another.

In its place, consumers could soon see a new, tiered system, which, like cable television, imposes higher costs for premium levels of service.

Agency bans chipmaker from ‘over the line’ marketing practices

By Jia Lynn Yang The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Capping a decade-long push by the federal government to check the power of this country’s biggest tech companies, the Federal Trade Commission is banning Intel from a slew of practices deemed unfair and deceptive as part of an antitrust settlement over charges the firm exploited its dominance in the chip market to elbow out competitors.

The FTC doesn’t have the authority to fine the company — unless it violates the terms of the settlement — but the agency outlined a deal Wednesday restricting Intel’s business practices in ways that go further than past cases in which the firm has been accused of not playing fair with rivals. Officials said the deal would benefit consumers buying computers by increasing

Jobs Continued from B1 A deep dive into the government’s monthly employment reports indicates that the sectors that benefited most from the housing boom, especially construction and housing-related manufacturing, are unlikely to return to bubble levels or even close to them. It also suggests that the road ahead will remain rocky for low-skilled laborers and skilled tradesmen.

“There has to be a reverse flow of those workers back into the other parts of the economy,” said Joel Prakken, the chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers, a consulting firm in St. Louis that co-issues the monthly ADP National Employment Report on privatesector hiring.

The ADP reports show a continued bleed, month after month, in residential construction jobs that are unlikely to bounce back.

“In my judgment, some of that is gone forever. ... We’re not going to need as many people as we had (in that sector) in 2006 and 2007. That adjustment and transition back is kind of painful,” Prakken said.

“Sectors have been affected unequally.”

Widespread impact Housing and residential investment make up 2.5 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, the total value of domestically produced goods and services. Their impact is larger, however, because many manufacturing jobs are tied to housing.

These include jobs in companies that produce, install or repair kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors, carpets, heating and cooling equipment, appliances and other products.

There also are jobs in hardware stores and home improvement centers, the truckers who deliver stock to Home Depot and Lowe’s, and the longshoremen who handle containers of Asian-made tools in West Coast ports.

A strong housing sector, one in which home prices rise, creates personal wealth. That, in turn, feeds consumer spending, which drives 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.

During the housing boom, employment in construction and manufacturing tied to

competition in the chipmaking business.

“This is an exceptionally important case,” FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said. “And the commission was deeply troubled by Intel’s actions.”

The deal marks the end of a chapter in which federal regulators went after tech titans such as Microsoft and Intel that pioneered new business practices in the 1990s and grew into global behemoths. Antitrust regulators are now scrutinizing a new generation of dominant tech firms — Google, for instance.

The agency investigated Intel’s practices going back at least 10 years and found the company “stepped well over the line.” The FTC said Intel told customers it would not sell products to them unless they agreed to stop doing business with Intel’s rivals.

The agency also said Intel re-

Employment January 2010 to June 2010 (Thousands of jobs, not seasonally adjusted) • Construction: up 330,000 • Manufacturing: up 276,000 • Professional: business services: up 572,000 • Education, health services: up 87,000 • Retail trade: up 157,300 • Private-sector (all): up 344,000 • Government (all): up 291,000 the sector soared. Residential building accounted for about 800,000 direct jobs in January 2000, and peaked at 1.037 million jobs in August 2006. It fell to a decade-long low this February at 549,000 jobs. Hiring in this segment of the construction sector has picked up only slightly since, adding about 55,000 jobs through June.

The plunge in construction employment is even starker in the specialty trades. Employment for drywall and insulation contractors has fallen from 329,000 in December 2007 to 214,000 this past May, far off the June 2006 peak of 380,600.

Similarly, framing contractors have seen their numbers more than cut in half, to 54,000 positions this past May from 115,000 in December 2007 and less than a third of the September 2006 peak of 185,500 jobs.

Manufacturing There’s a clear spillover to manufacturing.

When the recession began in December 2007, almost 13.8 million Americans were employed in manufacturing.

Through this June, that number stood at 11.7 million.

Employment in manufacturers who make plywood and engineered wood products, tied closely to residential construction, has fallen to just below 70,000 through June from 99,000 in December 2007, having peaked in August 2005 at 128,200.

Similarly, manufacturers who make wood window frames and doors employed 47,000 workers in June, 22,000 fewer than they had on their payrolls in December 2007 and well below the July 2006 peak

designed its central processing units, or CPUs, to throw off competitors by making it harder for their chips to work with Intel’s.

As part of the settlement, Intel said in a statement Wednesday that the company does not admit to breaking the law and that the agency’s allegations are all false.

“This agreement provides a framework that will allow us to continue to compete and to provide our customers the best possible products at the best prices,” said Doug Melamed, Intel senior vice president and general counsel. “The settlement enables us to put an end to the expense and distraction of the FTC litigation.”

Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., boasts more than 80 percent of computer microprocessor chip sales worldwide and in July reported its best quarterly earnings ever.

The settlement lays out a number of restrictions. The FTC is prohibiting Intel from practices that punish customers for buying chips from rivals or re-

of 82,000.

Companies that make kitchen cabinets and countertops from wood products employed about 103,000 workers in June 2010, down 57,000 from the workers they employed at the recession’s start, and well below peak employment in June 2006 of 180,900.

Companies that make air conditioners and forced-air heating equipment employed just 81,000 workers this past May compared with about 100,000 in December 2007, far off the February 2001 peak of 138,400.

Growth areas Who’s hiring? Some of the strongest data this year come from the professional and business services sector, usually associated with white-collar employment. Employers in this broad category have added jobs for eight consecutive months, 572,000 from January through June. The sector accounted for more than 16.7 million U.S. jobs in June.

The information technology sector outperforms most others.

IT employment in computer systems design grew to 1,441,000 positions this June from 1,426,900 in December 2007.

Similarly, hiring continues to rise for custom computer programmers, whose employment numbers in June stood at 626,000, up from 620,000 in December 2007.

Health care also continues to add jobs as the first wave of baby boomers, born from 1946 to 1964, hits the official retirement age at the end of this year. Health care employment, much like IT jobs, requires a degree of specialization. There were 13,760,000 health care jobs in June, up from 13,134,000 in December 2007.

Employment in medical and diagnostic labs held steady throughout the recession, growing to more than 217,000 jobs through May 2010 from about 213,000 in December 2007.

ward them for not purchasing those chips. The agency is also forcing Intel to relax its intellectual property agreements with chipmakers Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia and Via to give them more freedom to pursue mergers and joint ventures without having to worry about suits from Intel for patent infringement.

The deal also calls for Intel to make it easier for manufacturers of chips complementary to Intel’s to develop their products.

The company will have to maintain an open industry-standard connection, known as a “bus,” that will let manufacturers of graphics chips connect their products to Intel’s CPUs. The tech company has faced antitrust charges before from rivals and regulators. In November, Intel and AMD agreed to a $1.25 billion settlement after AMD sued Intel for antitrust reasons. In May 2009, the European Union fined Intel $1.45 billion, the biggest fine for breaking competition laws in E.U. history. Intel is still appealing the decision.

Employment in hospitals rose in the same period to 4,705,000 jobs from 4,564,000. It’s grown every month but one since the recession began. Hiring in home health care services grew to 1,066,000 positions in June from 934,000 in December 2007.

Despite the sector-by-sector differences, Larry Mishel, the president of the liberal Economic Policy Institute, warns against losing sight of the broader problem.

“It’s not about sectoral trends.

We’re in a massive downturn.

There’s never been, in the postwar era, a period where we lost as many jobs as this one,” said Mishel, who added that 4 percent of the nation’s job base had been wiped out by the time government stimulus efforts began in February 2009.

Continued from B1 Any agreement between Verizon and Google could also upend the efforts of the Federal Communications Commission to assert its authority over broadband service, which was severely restricted by a federal appeals court decision in April.

People close to the negotiations who were not authorized to speak publicly about them said an agreement could be reached as soon as next week. If completed, Google, whose Android operating system powers many Verizon wireless phones, would agree not to challenge Verizon’s ability to manage its broadband Internet network as it pleased.

Since the court decision, involving Comcast, in April, the FCC has been trying to find a way to regulate broadband delivery, and that effort has been the subject of a series of private meetings at the agency’s headquarters in recent weeks. A spokesman for Verizon

said that the company was still engaged in the larger talks to reach a consensus at the FCC and declined to comment on other negotiations. A spokeswoman for Google also declined to comment.

While a deal between Google and Verizon would affect only those two companies, it could sway the opinions of lawmakers, many of whom have questioned the wisdom of the FCC’s plans to oversee broadband service.

It is not clear that the GoogleVerizon talks will result in a deal, or that any agreement would extend beyond those companies. David Fish, a spokesman for Verizon, acknowledged the talks, saying, “We’ve been working with Google for 10 months to reach an agreement on broadband policy.”

But, Fish added, “We are currently engaged in and committed to the negotiation process led by the FCC We are optimistic this process will reach a consensus that can maintain an open Internet, and the investment and innovation required to sustain it.”

Payday lending: Helpful service or pitfall of debt?

Influx of lending outlets brings eye to what critics say are lax regulations

ics say payday loans trap customers in a downward debt spiral, siphoning off their income as they struggle to repay.

Payday lending has ballooned over the past decade, and Texas is an industry mecca, with payday lenders in the state providing about $3 billion in credit a year, according to industry estimates.

By Brendan Case McClatchy-Tribune Media Service

DALLAS — On July 2, a 74year-old Dallas widow named Yvonne Sands received her monthly Social Security check of $1,360. Soon after 7:30 a.m., she withdrew money from the bank and drove off to renew four payday loans with annual percentage rates of about 250 percent to more than 300 percent.

Sands can’t afford to pay back the loans all at once, and they come due every month. So each month, she takes out new loans to pay for the old ones, shelling out nearly $400 in fees in the process.

Over the last year, Sands has paid more than $4,200 in fees on those four loans — far more than the $1,850 she received in principal. And that’s not counting fees on two other loans she paid off earlier this year, one of which carried an annual rate of about 660 percent.

“I’m just trying to dig myself out of this hole I’m in,” Sands said.

Borrow with ease For better or worse, millions of Americans like Sands borrow billions of dollars a year from payday lenders. Catering to lowand middle-income customers, payday lenders provide quick cash to just about anyone with a checking account and a steady income.

Payday lenders say they’re making risky unsecured loans to willing customers scorned by other financial companies. Crit-

Other options to get quick cash Advances from employers: Some employers grant paycheck advances.

Because this is a true advance rather than a loan, there is no interest and the advance is therefore cheaper than a payday loan.

Emergency assistance programs: Many faith-based groups and community organizations provide emergency assistance, either directly or through social services programs.

Credit union loans: Many credit unions offer small short-term loans to their members. Many also offer low annual percentage rate loans (prime to 18 percent) with quick approval on an emergency basis.

Unlike payday loans, these give borrowers a real chance to repay, with longer payback periods and installment payments.

Cash advances on credit cards: A $300 cash advance on the average credit card, repaid in one month, would cost a $13.99 finance charge

How they work Here’s how they work: A customer goes to a payday lender wanting a $350 loan, the average amount in Texas.

The customer writes out a check for $350 plus a lending fee, typically postdated to the next payday. Fees typically range from $15 to $22 per $100 borrowed, according to the Consumer Service Alliance of Texas, an industry group.

The loan is typically due on the customer’s next payday. If the customer doesn’t show up, the lender cashes the check.

Alternatively, Texas clients can pay the fee and take out a new $350 loan to pay for the first — but that means paying another fee when the second loan comes due. They can also pay the fee plus whatever else they can afford, and refinance the balance.

In 2006, Congress passed a law capping interest rates on payday loans to military personnel, and many states restrict them. In Texas, the state constitution considers interest rates above 10 percent to be usurious except when specifically allowed by the legislature.

But under a legal loophole, payday lenders charge fees, not interest. Regulation of payday loans is lax, critics say.

“There is an absolute complete lack of oversight of the payday lending industry in the state of Texas,” said state Sen. Wendy Davis, a Tarrant County Democrat.

While Sands says she rues the

and have an annual interest rate of almost 57 percent. By comparison, a payday loan costing $17.50 per $100 for the same $300 would cost $105 if renewed one time, or an annual interest rate of 426 percent.

Military loans: Several companies offer loans of $500 to $10,000 to active-duty and retired military personnel. These loans cost far less than payday loans because they have a much lower APR, 33 percent to 34.99 percent.

Small consumer loans: Small consumer-finance companies offer small short-term loans that cost up to 60 percent APR but usually are in the range of 25 percent to 36 percent APR. If you borrowed $500 at 36 percent APR and repaid in monthly installments over four months, you would have paid $38.04 in interest.

If you renewed a $500 payday loan every two weeks for the same four months, you would have paid $700 in fees if the fee was $17.50 per $100.

Payday lending has ballooned over the past decade, and Texas is an industry mecca, with payday lenders in the state providing about $3 billion in credit a year. day she walked into a payday loan outlet, other customers say they appreciate payday loans for their speed, convenience and accessibility. Low credit scores are generally no obstacle.

Abel Martinez, 24, took out a $100 payday loan after his hours were cut back at Walmart, where he loads trucks. He said he prefers the loans to his credit card because he’s afraid of overspending on the card.

Shirley Proctor, 48, who cleans patients’ hospital rooms, took out a $600 payday loan in May after her car broke down. She aims to pay the loan off “hopefully soon.”

Jackie Williams, a medical records processor in her early 40s, recently borrowed $400 to fix her car. “It has been helpful,” she said, adding that she expects to pay the loan back by Aug. 1.

All three recently paid loan fees at a southern Dallas branch of Advance America Cash Advance Centers Inc., the nation’s largest payday lender.

Inviting environment The cheery storefront has clean white walls, spotless green carpeting and ads for “Loans up to $1,000 restamos de hasta $1,000” on its exterior glass. The company and the Consumer Service Alliance of Texas recently invited a reporter and a photographer for a visit.

Inside, posters on the walls advertise a range of financial services, from debit cards to electronic money transfers to utility payments. A store employee explains loan costs to customers.

The Consumer Service Alliance says its members have 2,400 stores “in every legislative district in Texas.” Nationally, there are nearly 21,000 payday loan stores, according to David Burtzlaff, a financial analyst at Stephens Inc. in Dallas.

That’s about as many U.S. locations as McDonald’s and Burger King have combined.

North Texas is an industry epicenter, home to small-dollar corporate giants such as Fort Worth-based Cash America International Inc. and Irving, Texas-based Ace Cash Express. The Cash Store belongs to Irvingbased Cottonwood Financial.

Since 2005, payday lenders in Texas have not been considered lenders at all, but rather “credit service organizations.”

Legally speaking, they charge a fee for connecting borrowers with third-party lenders such as DSI Lending Resources Inc. and NCP Finance LP. Thus, credit service organization fees escape the state’s restrictions on high-interest lending.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — With few prospects on the horizon, some of Silicon Valley’s jobless are sacrificing future retirement security for dayto-day survival.

As the recession drags on and savings are exhausted, they say they have no choice but to tap retirement plans, even though they pay stiff penalties and lock in market losses from the crash.

Pension experts advise against cashing in a 401(k) if at all possible. Income tax withholding of 20 percent along with a 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal can take a big bite out of the money.

But Breana Bartholomew, 53, an accountant, says she doesn’t have much choice.

She’s working two part-time jobs after losing a full-time job in December 2008. Her income is only a quarter of what she made before.

Her emergency savings gone, Bartholomew said she tapped her 401(k) to pay her health insurance premiums.

“I’ll lose about 50 percent to taxes and penalties” and market losses, she said.

Electronics engineer Robert Sweat, 36, of San Jose said he had to cash out his 401(k) to make ends meet after losing his job with Pillar Data Systems in 2008.

“It’s for your retirement,

and it’s a very large percentage of it that gets taxed,” he said.

He said his wife is still working, but has had to borrow from her 401(k) to help pay their bills.

Hewitt Associates, an Illinois human resources consulting company that tracks 3 million 401(k) holders, recently reported the biggest increase in permanent withdrawals since it began collecting the data. Withdrawals increased from 5.9 percent to 7.1 percent.

Twenty percent were hardship withdrawals to satisfy an immediate, heavy financial need.

“Loans are also increasing,” said Pamela Hess, director of retirement research for Hewitt.

“Maybe their spouse has been laid off, and they need to tap into it while working, so they take a loan.”

“It’s a tough situation for lot of people, and people don’t have a lot of options,” she said.

Wells Fargo also has seen an increase in hardship withdrawals. “It’s certainly more than usual,” said Erik Davidson, managing director of investments at Wells Fargo Private Bank. “Hardship withdrawals have been very rare for us in the past, but when you’re backed up against the wall, there’s no place to go. But it’s very, very expensive.”

Broadband Continued from B1 Frank Miller, chief technology officer for BendBroadband, said the current push to provide broadband to rural areas is similar to bringing electricity to rural Americans in the 1930s. Then as now, private companies had been unable to find a way to provide service to rural residents without a government subsidy.

“When you have a low population density, you have to cover a lot of area, and you can’t build a business model to bring fiber to the homes,” he said. “It just doesn’t pencil (out).”

On the Warm Springs reservation, about 35 percent of residents do not have regular land-line phone service, Anspach said. Only about half of the rest can connect to broadband Internet service.

What broadband is available on the reservation is run through a Quantum Communications microwave tower on one of the buttes overlooking Warm Springs — if the tower goes out, Anspach said the system will go down.

The federal grant will be used to upgrade the current tower, built about five years ago, and build a series of additional towers that

Outsource Continued from B1 Many legal outsourcing firms have offices around the world to interact with clients, but keep the majority of their employees in India; some also have a stable of lawyers in the Philippines.

Thanks to India’s low wages and costs and a big pool of young, English-speaking lawyers, outsourcing firms charge from onetenth to one-third what a Western law firm bills an hour.

Employees at legal outsourcing companies in India are not allowed by Indian law to give legal advice to clients in the West, no matter their qualifications. Instead, legal outsourcing companies perform a lot of the functions that a junior lawyer might do in a American law firm.

Western lawyers making the leap to legal outsourcing companies come for a variety of reasons, but nearly universally, they say they stay for the opportuni-

will extend broadband access to Simnasho and other smaller communities on the reservation. Small wired and wireless networks will be connected to the Internet through the remote towers.

Approximately 1,800 people are expected to benefit from the project.

The Warm Springs project is one of four awards to Oregon communities. The Monroe Telephone Co. was awarded $5.7 million to improve service for approximately 2,300 people in rural Lane and Benton counties, Cascade Utilities Inc. of Estacada will use $5.2 million to lay 127 miles of fiberoptic cable and expand service to 14,000 people, while Cascade Networks Inc. was awarded $3.7 million to boost service for 3,100 people in Columbia County.

Anspach said the construction of the improvements should employ 17 people for about 1½ years, while Warms Springs Telecommunications Co. will add 19 new fulltime employees to manage and maintain the expanded system.

Though the USDA grant will only pay for the infrastructure improvements, Anspach said there are a lot of ideas under consideration as to how residents will be able to take advantage of expanded access. Improved broad-

band could make the Kah-NeeTa High Desert Resort & Casino more attractive to conventions, he said, while individual tribal members could benefit from continuing education courses, or consultation with a doctor via online teleconferencing.

Broadband could bring new job opportunities to the reservation, he said, noting the experience of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in northeast Oregon. Improved broadband access allowed the tribes to partner with Accenture in 2006, bringing 300 jobs in software development, customer support and document management to the reservation.

Anspach said a similar partnership with the Warm Springs tribes could help stem the high unemployment on the reservation and the tendency for talented young tribal members to leave the reservation in search of work.

“If you want to leave the reservation to go pursue a career, that’s fine, but you should also have the option of staying on the reservation, and right now, that’s not happening,” he said.

ties to build a business and manage people.

“In many respects it is more rewarding than jobs I had in the United States,” said Wheeler, who moved to India when his Indianborn wife took a job here in 2006.

“If you’re talking about 15 employees in a windowless basement office, I’m not interested in making that my life’s calling,” he recalled thinking when he started talking to Pangea3. “But building a 500-person office, now that is a real challenge.”

Shelly Dalrymple left her job as a partner at a firm in Tulsa, Okla., in 2007 and is now based in India as the senior vice president of global litigation services at UnitedLex, a legal outsourcing company with offices in the United States, Britain, Israel and India.

When she first joined the industry, she said, growth was being driven by corporations that were pushing law firms to outsource to save money. Now, Western law firms themselves are starting to

embrace the industry, she said.

“We are seeing law firms who are putting a lot of thought into their future coming to us with interesting and creative ideas,” she said.

Partners in the West are asking legal outsourcing companies in India to create dedicated teams of lawyers for their firms, for example. Those teams could expand and contract depending on how much business the Western firm has. “That means a law firm with 500 members in Chicago can compete with a 2,000-member firm in New York,” Dalrymple said.

Moving to a legal outsourcing firm, especially in India, is not for everyone. About 5 percent of Western transplants cannot handle it and move back home, managers estimate.

Even lawyers who stay are sometimes wistful about their previous careers. “Of course I miss litigation,” Wheeler said.

But, he added, “watching people learn some of the same skills I did is gratifying.”

Aid

Oregon’s homeowner assistance programs

Continued from B1 The program would use public money — about $10 million — as a revolving loan.

A state contractor would buy underwater mortgages from a lender, and somehow refinance the home back to the homeowner who was under water.

It is planned as a pilot program for Deschutes and Jackson counties, where underwater mortgages are more prevalent than anywhere else in the state because of drastic drops in housing prices.

While that program is on the back burner, the $10 million initially set aside for it has been redistributed to the other four programs, which OHCS hopes to have up and running in coming months.

Eligibility for the programs depends on individual situations, and is determined by federally approved counselors, such as NeighborImpact in Redmond, with whom homeowners seeking modifications or mortgage payment assistance can consult.

Though a portion of the $88 million could eventually pay for additional counselors at NeighborImpact, Executive Director Sharon Miller is uncertain when those hires might occur. She is currently hiring one additional counselor to work with homeowners.

OHCS is working as fast as it can to get everything running, Miller said.

Despite the delay of the underwater mortgage program, Erik Sten, a Bend resident who proposed the idea to OHCS, is still optimistic.

“It sounds like (OHCS is) completely committed to the Deschutes and Jackson counties project, and they just need to do some more work with Treasury,” said Sten, who runs a private business

Here are the four Oregon programs, along with summaries of how additional money will be spent, in the Treasury-approved $88 million foreclosure prevention plan: • Loan modification assistance: $26 million It will offer an incentive to lenders to make a modification on a home loan, with certain restrictions on how large the incentive can be.

Previously, the restriction was $10,000, though updated versions of OHCS’s plan no longer list that number. This program is intended to work alongside the federal Home Affordable Modification Program, which offers a much smaller incentive to banks and has been widely classified as unsuccessful.

• Mortgage Payment Assistance: $16 million If a homeowner is unemployed, underemployed or financially distressed, he or she could qualify for up to 12 months of payment assistance on a mortgage. Previously, the assistance was limited to $1,400 a month, though the Treasury-approved plan lists no limit. The assistance would be paid half by the $16 million in funds controlled by OHCS, with the other half paid by the lenders. If the person qualifies for $1,400 a month in assistance, each group would pay $700.

• Loan Preservation Assistance: $29.55 million If homeowners regain employment or recover from financial distress, they could be eligible for a one-time payment of up to $20,000 to bring down the overall mortgage or cover certain fees, according to the Treasury-approved plan. The goal of this program is to keep loans affordable.

• Transitional Assistance: $4 million If it looks like nothing is going to keep a homeowner out of foreclosure, this could provide a person up to $3,000 for quickly relocating to new, affordable housing.

ADDITIONAL COSTS • Administration and Program Delivery: $7.45 million • Hiring a “Counseling Support Network” of federally approved foreclosure counselors like NeighborImpact: $5 million

in California that buys underwater mortgages and sells them back to homeowners. “Other than I think there’s people out there that need to get this moving, (the delay) seems reasonable to me.”

OHCS plans to use 80 percent of the $88 million in the state’s 20 worst-off counties, a group that also includes Crook and Jefferson counties. Though the Treasury estimated the four approved programs could help at least 7,400 people, OHCS believes that number is closer to 6,000.

Oregon was one of five states hit hard by unemployment, which has exacerbated the reces-

sion by making it more difficult for people to pay for their homes.

In Crook County, for example, which has the state’s highest unemployment rate, 9.9 percent of loans were in foreclosure or 90 or more days delinquent, according to OHCS data.

The Treasury allocated $600 million to the five states — including North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and South Carolina — for foreclosure prevention.

It was the second of what so far has been a three-part deployment of federal money.

CEO says AOL is moving from ‘survive’ to ‘thrive’

By Rachel Metz The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — AOL Inc. reported a $1 billion-plus second-quarter loss and tumbling revenue, yet the dismalsounding numbers appear to belie a more positive reality: The troubled Internet company is actually chugging along on its long road to recovery.

AOL is in the midst of a turnaround effort under CEO Tim Armstrong, a former Google Inc. executive who is trying to shift AOL from relying on a shrinking dial-up Internet business to finding growth in online ad sales.

So far, this has not been easy.

Since splitting from Time Warner Inc. in December, the company has shown few obvious signs of progress, and on the surface the second quarter may sound like more bad news.

On Wednesday, AOL reported $1.4 billion in writedowns for the declining value of its assets and the sale of social networking site Bebo. The company’s advertising revenue fell even faster than it did in the first three months of the year.

Still, Armstrong remained resolute about AOL’s chances for survival, saying he believes the company in the past year has “moved the needle from ‘survive’ to ‘thrive.’”

Armstrong said that the writedown doesn’t point toward problems at AOL, but

“If you look underneath it, it’s really about cleaning up what happened during the AOL-Time Warner years.”

— Tim Armstrong, CEO, AOL rather indicates that “the patient is getting healthier.”

“If you look underneath it, it’s really about cleaning up what happened during the AOL-Time Warner years,” Armstrong said in an interview.

Some analysts agreed.

David Joyce, an analyst at Miller Tabak & Co., called the quarter “a mix of positive and negative,” and said there are “some signs of improvement starting to show through.”

AOL shares rose $1.63, or 7.7 percent, to close Wednesday at $22.75. Since the spinoff, AOL shares rose as high as $29.45 in April, but it’s now trading nearly 23 percent lower.

AOL bought Time Warner at the height of the dot-com boom back in 2001, hoping that Time Warner’s TV and magazine content would fit with AOL’s dial-up Internet business. But the rise of speedier broadband Internet connections started killing off AOL’s main revenue source. After years spent trying and failing to integrate the

two companies, Time Warner finally spun off AOL. The change has not been easy, as AOL’s second-quarter results make clear. The company reported a net loss of $1.06 billion, or $9.89 per share, in the April-June period, compared with net income of $90.7 million, or 86 cents per share, a year ago.

And revenue sank 26 percent to $584 million from last year’s nearly $792 million — far lower than the $602 million analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected, on average.

Armstrong said much of AOL’s decline stemmed from its efforts to get rid of ad products and operations that may be contributing to its revenue but not to its earnings.

This includes the disposal of Bebo, which AOL bought for $850 million in 2008, hoping it would drive traffic to its other Web properties. It hasn’t, and AOL sold it during the quarter to private investment firm Criterion Capital Partners for an undisclosed amount — most likely a fraction of what it initially paid for it.

Overall, he said, the online advertising market is recovering from last year’s slump, and he expects next year to be even stronger than this one.

“I think our results are a reflection of what we’re doing to make AOL a healthy company, rather than what’s happening in the industry,” he said.

PARIS — Google Inc. is loosening restrictions on using brand names in its lucrative European advertising business, a move that puts a greater burden on big-name retailers to protect their trademarks online.

The world’s largest search engine is promising at the same time to be more aggressive in taking down misleading ads, in response to a European court ruling concerning counterfeiters using Google’s ad service.

Wednesday’s announcement is Google’s latest maneuver in a global battle over who is responsible for policing the Internet.

The change affects advertising on Google’s European sites. It follows a similar change in the United States and Canada in 2004, and in Britain and Ireland last year.

Search engines and service providers say they are only platforms and can’t monitor all the gray business that goes on online. Leading retailers say they are losing business to rivals peddling fake goods via such sites as Google.

Google makes most of its revenue by selling the ads triggered by keywords typed into the search bar. So if a user searches for “handbags,” ads for handbag vendors often appear at the head of the search results or on the righthand side.

Currently Europe is one of Google’s few major markets where the owner of a trademark can ask Google’s AdWords service to block other advertisers from using that trademark in keywords, Google spokesman Ben Novick said.

The European Court of Justice ruled in March that Google does not violate trademark law if counterfeiters buy brand names as ad keywords.

No break for Deschutes County resorts

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deschutes County commissioners decided Wednesday not to give buyers of new homes in destination resorts a break on a $3,400 fee, which pays for the impact of new development on local roads.

Building and real estate industry representatives had argued that people who own single family homes in destination resorts generally live there part time and use the roads less than other homeown-

ers, so they should pay lower development fees. The representatives wanted the county to lower the fee to approximately $1,079 for resort homes.

commodate new development, and the county has to pay for roads to serve tourists, even if they spend a limited amount of time in the county.

Commissioner Tammy Baney disagreed. She said the fee for new resort homes should be lower than for other homes. Baney said when she voted to adopt the fee in 2008, she had been under the impression that resort homes would be charged a lower rate than other homes.

Council mulling discounts for moving businesses

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Bend City Councilors want to launch a pilot program to help small businesses relocate within city limits through a discount on the planning, building and engineering fees associated with moving into a new building.

During a work session Wednesday, councilors for the most part supported the idea of the incentive, and decided they would offer a 50 percent reduction of these fees for up to one year and cap the subsidy at $50,000.

“It seems to me that if I was a small business owner and wanted to move that this would be a benefit to me,” Mayor Kathie Eckman said.

Encourage expansion According to city officials, the intent of the discount program is to encourage small business to expand operations and help struggling businesses stay open by helping them move to smaller quarters. It could also help some businesses move to more desirable locations.

Councilor Jodie Barram, however, did not think the program was an effective use of the city’s limited funds at this time, though she generally supported the idea of the program and the effect it could have on improving perceptions of Bend among small business owners.

It may be summer, but Central Oregon Community College officials are busily working to get new construction projects under way that will eventually help ease campus overcrowding.

At least one new building, a renovation and an addition are currently in the works, with several more projects to get going soon.

The majority of the construction getting under way this summer is part of the $41.6 million bond passed by voters in November.

r.

hese days, you don’t have to look far to find signs that our economy is struggling.

Central Oregon’s unemployment rate hovers around 14 percent.

Pantry shelves at local food banks haven’t been this bare in years.

But here’s a trend with a twist of hope: More Central Oregonians are pursuing higher education, which could only help the region in the long run.

Enrollment at both Central Oregon Community College and Oregon State University-Cascades Campus has skyrocketed in recent years as out-of-work residents try to bulk up their resumes or switch to more promising careers.

In fact, 889 people applied this year for scholarships from the COCC Foundation.

That’s up from 778 last year.

Each application was reviewed last month and assigned two scores, one based on financial need, the other on a written narrative. Those scores were added together, and the 230 applicants with the highest totals were awarded $2,500 scholarships.

The scholarships are encouraging on a couple of levels.

First, because Central Oregonians continue to be generous in tough times. Individuals and businesses donated $525,000 to fund scholarships this year.

And second, because a determined group of locals is trying to turn the dreary economy into a second chance.

Take, for example, Jason Stearns of Redmond.

When he graduated from high school in Hillsboro in 1995, he planned on going to college and becoming a police officer.

But a vocational school recruiter wooed him with tales of big money in the construction industry. So Stearns enrolled instead in a one-year program in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC. Six years of steady work later, he still wasn’t making half as much as the recruiter had promised. So he packed up and moved to Central Oregon, where construction was taking off. In January 2003, he started his own HVAC business.

By 2005, Stearns had hired two people to keep up with demand. By 2006, he had six employees.

“In 2007, business was still alright, but you could really tell it was starting to slow down and it wasn’t going to pick back up anytime soon,” Stearns says.

In 2008, construction ground to a halt.

Stearns estimates that his company got as much work in all of 2008 as in one month of 2006.

“I tried to keep (my employees) working as long as I could,” he says. “I was pulling in just enough to pay them, I wasn’t making any money for myself.”

Eventually, Stearns laid off his workers. Then he thought back to high school, and his decision to forgo college.

“I took the easy route,” he says, “and it probably wasn’t the best choice.”

So Stearns enrolled in COCC’s Criminal Justice program. He attended classes, applied for jobs and took on whatever one-man HVAC gigs he could find.

At first, school was a challenge. Stearns had been a good student in high school.

So he was shocked to get low scores on his COCC placement tests. After a couple of months, however, Stearns readjusted to life as a student.

His grades are up and he’s on track to earn his associate’s degree this winter.

Then he’ll transfer to a four-year university to earn a bachelor’s degree.

For now, Stearns and his family are living off of his wife’s salary as a school teacher. But with three kids, he says, it’s a struggle to keep up with costs.

So imagine his relief when Stearns won a scholarship from the COCC Foundation last summer.

“There are so many people who go to COCC,” he says. “I couldn’t believe I was chosen.”

The 33-year-old knows that even with a degree in hand, finding a job could be tough. But he’s determined to fulfill a long-standing dream.

“We’re always going to need law enforcement,” Stearns says. “It’s something that has a future and retirement.”

Even in this gloomy economy, Stearns has that secret weapon: hope.

Deschutes County officials said Wednesday morning they want to rezone farmland in the Millican Valley for surface mining.

It was the third time the commission considered whether to rezone the 365-acre site near U.S. Highway 20, after state land use officials twice found problems in the county’s decisions to rezone the land for mining and sent them back to be fixed.

The narrow question this time was whether basalt rock mining would impact neighboring ranch operations, and specifically whether the noise would bother cattle. Oregon’s Land Use Board of Appeals found the County Commission’s 2008 decision to rezone the land for surface mining did not fully address potential impacts of mining on the ranches and cattle.

Commissioners Tammy Baney and Dennis Luke asked county planning staff Wednesday to write a decision in favor of rezoning the land for surface mining, while Commissioner Alan Unger abstained from the decision because he was not present during an earlier public hearing on the issue. Planning staff will bring back the written decision for the commission to approve by the end of the month, said County Administrator Dave Kanner.

An injured person is carried to an ambulance after a two-vehicle crash on Bend Parkway north of the Empire Boulevard exit Wednesday evening. The crash occurred around 5 p.m. and forced the closure of a portion of the highway for a little more than an hour. Bend police said Helen Watson, 67, of California, was driving south when she crossed over the median and struck a northbound vehicle driven by Homer Merrifield, 80, of Bend. Both were transported to St. Charles Bend with non-life threatening injuries, as was Watson’s passenger, Tad Rash, 22, of California.

Home invasion report unfounded, police say Bend police say reports of a man who knocked on the door of a southeast Bend home and demanded cash while wielding a pipe Tuesday night are unfounded.

Officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Southeast Glencoe Place at about 11:30 p.m.

Tuesday, according to a news release from the Bend Police Department.

The occupants of the house, a 30-year-old man and 25-year-old woman, said a man they didn’t know rang the door bell and when they opened it, he grabbed a pipe and came inside. As the man and woman backed up into the house, the man allegedly threatened them and demanded cash before running to his car and driving away.

On Wednesday, a citizen reported a man matching the reported description of the suspect in the area of Murphy Road and Country Club Drive. Officers contacted the man and determined he was the individual the two alleged victims had reported to police, but found his account of the events from the night before was considerably different.

Follow-up interviews with the alleged victims found that they had withheld information from police, according to Bend police Lt. Ken Stenkamp, and it is now believed no crime was committed.

St. Charles Bend nurses ratify contract Registered nurses at St. Charles Bend this week ratified a new contract with the hospital system, with 77 percent of nurses in the nurses’ union voting in favor of the agreement.

The agreement, reached last month after prolonged negotiations with the hospital, will provide pay raises to nurses over the next two years. But the raises will be not as large as those called for under the nurses’ previous contract.

Hospital officials said the union’s concessions on health coverage and other benefits provided the cost savings to allow an increase in wages. “Both sides worked very hard to reach an agreement,� said Alison Hamway, Oregon Nurses Association labor representative for

the Bend nurses. “The ONA negotiating team unanimously recommended ratification, and we are pleased that the membership ratified the agreement by a substantial margin.�

Leslie Toll, caregiver and labor relations director for St. Charles, said the contract was fair to the nurses and would support the long-term goals of St. Charles Health System.

Health advisory issued Bend Senior Center to for Haystack Reservoir close for maintenance A health advisory was issued for Haystack Reservoir Wednesday because of high levels of harmful algae, according to a news release from the Oregon Public Health.

The presence of toxin-producing, blue-green algae was detected by water monitoring systems in the reservoir, which is located 10 miles south of Madras, causing the health advisory. Oregon Public Health advises people and animals avoid any contact with the reservoir’s water.

Drinking from the reservoir is particularly dangerous, and Oregon Public Health advises reservoir visitors that toxins in the algae cannot be removed by boiling, filtering or treating the water with camping-style filters.

Visitors and campers who catch fish from the reservoir and choose to eat them should remove all fat, skin and organs before cooking because toxins are more likely to be found in these tissues. Visitors should not eat shellfish or crayfish collected from the reservoir while the advisory is in effect.

Toxins from the algae can produce symptoms of numbness, dizziness and tingling that could lead to heart problems or difficulty breathing that require immediate medical attention. Skin irritation, weakness, diarrhea, nausea, fainting and cramps are also symptoms caused by the toxins.

The area will still be open to the public for camping, hiking, biking and boating while the advisory is in effect.

“It seems to be that it’s just fundamentally wrong that we would be lowering fees on the very wealthiest individuals in the community, that the people who can afford the fanciest homes in the community would pay the lowest fees,� Hardy said before the meeting Wednesday.

Land use attorney Steven Hultberg was a member of the advisory committee and while he often works with resorts, he said he was not representing any on this matter. Hultberg said the county “is simply not charging the right amount (for resort homes), based on their own methodology report.� He was referring to the county’s methodology, based on the Hidden Canyon study.

“It’s encouraging to see that, and I hope they stick with it,�

Kancler said of the commissioners’ decision.

Attorney Pam Hardy, who is the Central Oregon advocate for the land use and conservation group 1,000 Friends of Oregon, said the fee should not be lower for resort homes. Her group was not a member of the county’s advisory group. Hardy said the case to lower the fees on houses in destination resorts was based on evidence from a single study by someone who had a business interest in the outcome of the study.

The county’s method that calculated a lower traffic impact and lower fees for resort homes was based on a 2006 study that a consultant prepared for Hidden Canyon, a resort planned in Crook County.

for using the roads less,� Unger said. “But we need the money to put the road system together, and we don’t have enough. The ones who put the resorts together have the most to pay.�

Baney asked Unger, “Are we taxing the rich?�

Unger replied, “Yeah, when you look at our income tax structure in Oregon, the rich pay more because they make more.�

Erik Kancler, executive director of Central Oregon LandWatch, a local land use watchdog group, was a member of the advisory group and was the only member who did not support a lower development fee for homes in destination resorts.

On Wednesday afternoon, Kancler said the commissioners’ decision meant all single family homes will continue to be treated equitably.

Continued from C1 The method Deschutes County Commission adopted in 2008 to calculate the impact and fees for different types of development did include a lower cost for resort homes: $1,136, compared with $3,583 for other single-family homes. But the fee schedule the commission adopted listed one rate for all single-family homes and did not include a lower fee for resort homes.

Even with the development fees, which are supposed to raise an estimated $53 million by 2028, the county does not have enough money to pay for all of its road projects. Over the next 18 years, Deschutes County’s budget for road projects faces an annual estimated shortfall of $1.6 million,

said Road Department Director Tom Blust.

A county advisory committee recommended in 2008 and again this summer that the county charge a lower amount for resort homes. The committee was composed mostly of real estate and building industry representatives, along with a representative of Central Oregon LandWatch.

Luke and Unger were not swayed. “I cannot support a fee that’s $2,000 less for a house in Sunriver than it is for a house in Spring River,� Luke said, referring to a subdivision near Sunriver resort.

The conversation briefly veered into whether the development fees are a tax on the wealthy, when Unger said property owners in resorts can afford to pay the fees. “We should be asking them for more, and thank them very much

WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT?

State employees moving out after government facility fails structural tests The Associated Press

The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — Small-time miners running suction dredges to glean flecks of gold from salmon streams face tighter regulations announced Tuesday by Oregon environmental authorities.

The new permit issued by the state Department of Environmental Quality comes as a minirush of gold miners are coming into the state because California declared a moratorium on dredging until it can determine whether it harms salmon.

The new Oregon regulations reduce the size of dredges used in essential salmon habitat, which covers major rivers and their tributaries in the most popular gold mining areas of southwestern and northeastern Oregon.

They also require miners on all streams to keep a log showing they check once a day that the muddy water coming out of their machines does not extend more than 300 feet downstream or overlap the plume from another dredge.

The $25 yearly permit includes a long-standing state prohibition against harming water quality in 12 federal wilderness areas. Panning for gold is still allowed.

After graduating from a small liberal arts college in Colorado, she interned for a year on an organic farm in California and made her way back to the family farm in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

“I always knew that I wanted to move back to the farm,” she said, “but I didn’t know what direction it would take.”

Miller’s idea of farming didn’t include growing the mint, alfalfa and carrot seed produced by her father, Rob Miller. Nor did it coincide with the size of her father’s farm.

Enter community-supported agriculture, or CSA, and the local food movement. The movement blossomed about the time Miller was entering the workforce.

“It seemed like the perfect time and the perfect situation for the kind of person I am, and the kind of person my partner is,” Miller said.

Niche farming Three years into operating Minto Island Growers CSA, Miller and her partner, Chris Jenkins, are developing a niche and farming in the manner they prefer.

“My dad thinks we’re kind of crazy in seeing the detail that goes into farming like this,” Miller said. “But it’s very rewarding.”

Farmers have operated com-

“It’s a very steady way to have income and a known market base. The number of (Community Supported Agriculture farms) in Washington are growing substantially as more farmers are finding it is a viable way to offer what they produce directly to consumers.”

— Patrice Barrentine, direct marketing coordinator Washington State Department of Agriculture munity-supported agriculture operations in the U.S. since 1986, but only since the turn of the century has the movement gained prominence.

By 2007, according to the USDA, more than 12,500 farms in the U.S. were selling products in CSAs. “It is a growing trend in Idaho,” said Lacey Menasco, trade specialist with the Idaho Department of Agriculture. “Farmers are always looking for a new niche in the market, and there is consumer demand for local products.”

“It’s a very steady way to have income and a known market base,” said Patrice Barrentine, direct marketing coordinator for the Washington State Depart-

ment of Agriculture. “The number of CSAs in Washington are growing substantially as more farmers are finding it is a viable way to offer what they produce directly to consumers.”

In CSAs, customers pay in advance for a season’s worth of fresh fruits and vegetables that are delivered weekly.

CSAs typically run 25 weeks, and cost consumers about $20 a box. Some CSAs deliver as long as 42 weeks.

The hardest part?

Continuous harvest Minto Island, which has 100 customers and delivers for 25 weeks, include staples in boxes each week, such as potatoes, and tops off boxes with a mixture of vegetables.

The farm produces 30 different crops on about 30 acres, Miller said, not all of which are in production at any one time.

“The hardest part is planning out in advance to have a continuous harvest,” Jenkins said. “It’s hard to have the diversity as well as a continuous harvest so that there are no gaps in abundance of harvest.

“You’re dealing with a diversity of crops and a diversity of life cycles,” he said. “The management of our 30 acres is almost like running 500 acres of a monoculture farm.”

Miller said she isn’t expecting to get rich operating a CSA. “It’s a lifestyle,” she said.

“With the right marketing and intelligent business plan, I think we can build something that is financially viable,” Jenkins said.

O B Astoria man charged in beating death ASTORIA — An Oregon man accused of beating his fiancee to death has been charged with manslaughter.

Bail was set at $1 million for 39-year-old Christopher Scott Fitzhugh of Astoria.

Police said 43-year-old Evelyn Decker died Sunday at a Portland hospital, apparently from injuries sustained during

a beating earlier that day at the apartment the couple shared in Astoria.

Authorities searching for abuse suspect OREGON CITY — A man accused of sexually abusing a 7-year-old Oregon girl before secretly marrying the child’s mother is a fugitive believed to be in California.

Clackamas County sheriff’s

deputies say 47-year-old Don Edward Smock Jr. is believed to be in Sacramento, Calif. Felony arrest warrants accuse Smock of 45 counts of various child sex abuse charges.

Meanwhile, deputies say a hearing was pending in Oregon City for his new wife, 41-year-old Barbara Lynn Whitehead of Damascus, on charges of perjury, witness-tampering, hindering prosecution and false swearing.

SALEM — The city of Salem has added the Courthouse Square building to its list of dangerous buildings and ordered Marion County and the transit district workers to move out within 60 days.

Even before Friday’s notice, officials started moving out of the five-story downtown building because of problems that include leaking windows and structural test failures.

The building is just 10 years old and was built at a cost of $34 million.

Engineers hired by the county and transit district already had determined that Courthouse Square was a “dangerous building,” and a relocation plan for its occupants is under way.

The engineers, who are with SERA Architects Inc. and Miller Consulting Engineers, said the bus mall and underground parking beneath the structure are in worse shape than the building.

The bus mall and the parking area have been placed off limits.

Deputy City Manager Sean O’Day told The Statesman Journal officials will check inspection records to determine why the problems were missed when the building was under construction.

Review old records He said city building and safety officials have begun reviewing old inspection records but he did not know when a report will be completed.

“We fully intend to take a look and find out what happened,” O’Day said.

The city’s notice gives the property’s owners 60 days to vacate the building and take action to repair or demolish the structure.

There are potential fines of as much as $250 per day for not complying.

But Thomas Phillips, the city’s building and safety administrator, said the building’s public agency owners are not subject to fines because they are taking corrective actions.

How open records serve Oregonians

B

ack in June, the Oregon Court of Appeals demolished Jackson County Sheriff Michael Winters’ arguments for hiding the identities of people who hold concealed hand-

gun licenses. State law considers such licenses public records, the court pointed out, and “exemptions from disclosure are to be narrowly construed.” Winters, who categorically declared all licenses off limits, wasn’t interested in construing anything narrowly.

But as encouraging as the ruling is to open-government advocates, it also underscores the limits of judicial power. Courts rule on legal questions. They don’t, and can’t, settle public policy debates. And this one is far from settled.

As is often the case with public records, concealed handgun licenses may be kept secret under certain circumstances. But the burden of withholding records falls on the public body — in this case the sheriff’s office. And to satisfy that burden, the court wrote, “a public body must establish exemptions from disclosure ‘on an individualized basis.’”

In one attempt to justify his decision, Winters cited a legal provision that exempts some security measures from disclosure. Problem was, Winters failed to “establish which individuals obtained concealed handgun licenses as security measures or whether the individuals who did so actually satisfied the requirements of the security measure exemption.”

Since the decision appeared, a number of Oregon sheriffs have asked license holders whether they want their license information to remain secret and why. Most prefer privacy.

This desire for privacy isn’t surprising, and you can’t blame sheriffs for doing what they can to respect it.

They’re elected administrators, not policy makers.

But Oregon does have policy makers, and sooner or later they’re likely to settle what remains an open question: How hard should it be for a license holder to secure an exemption from public disclosure? If Or-

egon’s open records law is to mean anything, exemptions should be exceedingly difficult to come by.

Without access to license information, newspapers and other watchdog organizations would have virtually no ability to monitor the performance of sheriffs, who act as concealed weapons gatekeepers. Though Oregon is a welcoming place for those who want to carry concealed handguns (sheriffs must issue a license to any applicant who satisfies certain requirements), the law denies the privilege to various groups. These include people under 21, people with outstanding warrants, convicted felons, registered sex offenders and so on.

Thus, by screening license applicants, sheriffs perform an important safety function. While we have no doubt that most do so scrupulously, if not flawlessly, that isn’t necessarily the case. To the extent that the vast majority of newspapers — including this one — are interested in license information, it isn’t to make licenseholders’ names public. Rather, it’s to verify that sheriffs are exercising their legal obligations competently.

To hide license information, on the other hand, would force the public to trust government officials to do the right thing even when they know nobody’s watching.

The foolishness of trusting government blindly is why open-records laws exist in the first place. It’s also why Oregonians — including holders of concealed handgun permits — should worry about attempts to move public records into the dark.

66, 67 worth refighting

A

story in Wednesday’s editions of The Oregonian describes an effort by a wide-ranging collection of business lobbyists to eliminate the Democratic Party’s legislative supermajority in November. Thanks to their three-fifths advantages in both the House and Senate, Democrats have been able to hike taxes without the support of Republicans. The most notable products of this clout are the two tax hikes that became Measures 66 and 67 and won the support of voters in January.

Participating lobbyists claim that they’re interested in moderating a law-making body that hasn’t been particularly friendly to businesses.

But House Speaker Dave Hunt, DGladstone, has derided them as “the campaign consultant wing of the lobby ... trying to refight Measures 66 and 67.”

That’s an interesting insult. Let’s assume for the moment that Hunt is

right and that the group is trying to “refight” the two measures, whatever such an effort might entail. Why shouldn’t it? Most of the changes effected by the two measures are bad public policy. Besides, since when do interest groups have an obligation to stop opposing injurious policies simply because they’ve lost one ballotbox battle?

If that were the case, Hunt’s own party wouldn’t even think about refighting Measure 86 during next year’s session. Measure 86, for those who haven’t lived in Oregon long, enshrined the income tax “kicker” in the state Constitution. The kicker may or may not be good public policy, but voters supported it overwhelmingly (898,793 to 550,304) back in November 2000. In fact, that margin of victory — about 348,000 votes — is 74 percent larger than the margins of victory for Measure 66 and 67 ... combined.

Two ways to look at life T

his is a column about two ways of thinking about your life. The first is what you might call the Well-Planned Life. It was nicely described by Clayton Christensen in the current issue of the Harvard Business Review, in an essay based on a recent commencement talk.

Christensen advised the students to invest a lot of time when they are young in finding a clear purpose for their lives. “When I was a Rhodes scholar,” he recalls, “I was in a very demanding academic program, trying to cram an extra year’s worth of work into my time at Oxford. I decided to spend an hour every night reading, thinking, and praying about why God put me on this earth.

“That was a very challenging commitment to keep, because every hour I spent doing that, I wasn’t studying applied econometrics. I was conflicted about whether I could really afford to take that time away from my studies, but I stuck with it — and ultimately figured out the purpose of my life.”

Once you have come up with an overall purpose, he continues, you have to make decisions about allocating your time, energy and talent. Christensen, who is a professor at the Harvard Business School and the author of several widely admired books, notes that people with a high need for achievement commonly misallocate their resources.

If they have a spare half-hour, they devote it to things that will yield tangible and near-term accomplishments.

These almost invariably involve something at work — closing a sale, finishing a paper.

“In contrast,” he adds, “investing time and energy in your relationship with your spouse and children typically doesn’t offer that same immediate sense of achievement. ... It’s not until 20 years down the road that you can put your hands on your hips and say, ‘I

DAVID BROOKS raised a good son or a good daughter.’”

As a result, the things that are most important often get short shrift.

Christensen is a serious Christian.

At university, he was the starting center on his basketball team and refused to play in the championship game of an important tournament because it was scheduled for a Sunday. But he combines a Christian spirit with business methodology. In plotting out a personal and spiritual life, he applies the models and theories he developed as a strategist. He emphasizes finding the right metrics, efficiently allocating resources and thinking about marginal costs.

When he is done, life comes to appear as a well-designed project, carefully conceived in the beginning, reviewed and adjusted along the way and brought toward a well-rounded fruition.

The second way of thinking about your life might be called the Summoned Life. This mode of thinking starts from an entirely different perspective. Life isn’t a project to be completed; it is an unknowable landscape to be explored.

A 24-year-old can’t sit down and define the purpose of life in the manner of a school exercise because she is not yet deep enough into the landscape to know herself or her purpose. That young person — or any person — can’t see into the future to know what wars, loves, diseases and chances may loom.

She may know concepts, like parenthood or old age, but she doesn’t really understand their meanings until she is engaged in them.

Moreover, people who think in this mode are skeptical that business models can be applied to other realms of life. Business is about making choices that maximize utility. But the most important features of the human landscape are commitments that precede choice — commitments to family, nation, faith or some cause. These commitments defy the logic of cost and benefit, investment and return.

The person leading the Well-Planned Life emphasizes individual agency, and asks, “What should I do?” The person leading the Summoned Life emphasizes the context, and asks, “What are my circumstances asking me to do?”

The person leading the Summoned Life starts with a very concrete situation: I’m living in a specific year in a specific place facing specific problems and needs. At this moment in my life, I am confronted with specific job opportunities and specific options. The important questions are: What are these circumstances summoning me to do?

What is needed in this place? What is the most useful social role before me?

These are questions answered primarily by sensitive observation and situational awareness, not calculation and long-range planning.

In America, we have been taught to admire the lone free agent who creates new worlds. But for the person leading the Summoned Life, the individual is small and the context is large. Life comes to a point not when the individual project is complete but when the self dissolves into a larger purpose and cause.

The first vision is more American.

The second vision is more common elsewhere. But they are both probably useful for a person trying to live a wellconsidered life.

Central Oregon residents need to combat homelessness

By Ruth Clark Bulletin guest columnist

T

o help keep a roof over their heads, everyday families in Central Oregon are making decisions to eat at the Bend Community Center, give up the family pet or move in with friends or relatives. Somewhere in Central Oregon today, a woman’s car will break down, a child will get sick and a man will throw his back out. Simple things like these can bring a family one step closer to homelessness or make them homeless. And, somewhere tonight there is a family sleeping in a tent, a Vietnam veteran sleeping in the woods and an 18-year-old who has aged out of the foster care system and has nowhere to sleep.

The one-night shelter count report (found at cohomeless.org) taken Jan. 28 of this year, shows 2,402 individuals in 1,179 households were homeless or lacking a regular place to stay each night. Why were they homeless? Five

hundred sixty-four were unemployed and 607 couldn’t afford rent. Many of the homeless had combinations of reasons, which included mental illness, child abuse, poor credit or rental history and drug abuse. Close to a third of the homeless were school-age children.

Recently, I attended a town hall meeting at the Bend Community Center to help brainstorm what can we do to prevent homelessness, what we can do better to help people get into homes and how can we think outside the box to reverse the trend of homelessness in Central Oregon. Involved were members from the community (including one homeless person) and representatives from area service providers. At the same time, similar events were held in Redmond, Sisters, Madras and Prineville.

I was amazed to hear that people have to sign up a week in advance to take a shower at the Community Center’s two showers when Juniper Pool is less than a half-mile away! I heard of a

IN MY VIEW volunteer professional who was working from sunup to past dark at Project Connect and was at risk of burning out if others do not step forward to help. On Sundays, the Community Center feeds over 400 people. They include people who are not homeless yet, but come and eat for free so they have enough to pay for other necessities.

There were many concerns at the meeting. They included the fact that the non-profits are getting less funding but are facing growing needs. Laws on the books sometimes are unintentional roadblocks to assisting those in need.

And, some issues have been discussed among agencies for several years, but are no closer to solutions. The need for more community awareness and involvement was also brought up.

The hottest topic discussed was to have a one-stop service center that

would act as a conduit for a variety of services. This would save both the time and the resources of the agencies, the homeless and the near homeless people involved. A couple who recently moved here from California said this was very successful where they had lived and were surprised there wasn’t a better system in place here. It sounded to me that a one-stop center would make a huge difference in the effectiveness of the work of all concerned and made a lot of sense. I urge the community to get behind creating a one-stop service center for the low income. I also strongly encourage folks to volunteer, contribute funds or goods to help out the nonprofits.

The long winter will be upon us before you know it. Now is the time for the Central Oregon community to mobilize to prevent people from sliding into homelessness and to prepare for and respond to the needs of the homeless. We shouldn’t have to hear any more horror

stories of someone out in the cold ending up having to have their feet amputated, dying or being murdered.

The Red Cross, when speaking of natural disasters, says the first responders in a natural disaster will not be the federal or state governments, but the community and neighbor helping neighbor.

The ones who will be there when the federal and state governments leave after a disaster are, again, the local community and neighbor helping neighbor.

Homelessness is every bit as serious as a natural disaster, but it is not a natural disaster. We cannot count on the federal or state government to come to the rescue. It hasn’t happened yet. The entire community needs to be involved in finding answers to the homelessness issue.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Let’s be the change to the Central Oregon homelessness issue, together.

Ruth Clark lives in Bend.

Joan Heaton, 82, of Bend, flies her bird kite during the grand opening celebration for Pine Nursery Park in Bend on Wednesday. The new park in northeast Bend covers 159 acres, and includes ballfields, a stocked fishing pond, an off-leash area for dogs and numerous trails.

COCC Continued from C1 Those funds will be combined with about $12 million in state funding to build two new facilities on the Bend campus, a technology center in Redmond, and Prineville and Madras education centers. The funds will also pay for several campus building renovations that will ease the college’s 85 percent enrollment increase over the past three years. During the 2009-10 school year, more than 10,000 people took credit classes at COCC. According to Gene Zinkgraf, COCC’s director of construction, all projects are going according to plan so far.

“We’re really moving along.

We’re right where we want to be,” he said.

The remodel of Pence Hall and Pinckney Center for the Arts is slated to be finished in time for fall classes. That project was funded by state stimulus funds, and will feature a new arts studio, faculty offices and practice spaces.

Also under way is an addition of five classrooms, five offices and an elevator to Mazama Hall, the building which houses the campus gym. That 9,600square-foot addition is being paid for by state stimulus funds, as well as Oregon Lottery dollars and the construction bond passed in November.

That addition, on the south side of the building, is likely to be finished in time for winter-term classes that start in January.

Lottery funding will also pay for a classroom in the new culinary building.

Zinkgraf and other COCC officials will meet with city officials today in a pre-construction meeting for that facility. A ground-breaking ceremony for the program’s new building is planned for 2 p.m. on Aug. 12.

The culinary building is being paid for primarily through fundraising; the college will not use any 2009 bond dollars to fund the building. It will house COCC’s Cascade Culinary Institute, which over the past 15 years has grown in both size and credibility. The college hopes the state-of-the-art facility will make the institute a destination program for the western United States.

It will house a working restaurant, as well as several kitchens and a theater-style demonstration area.

Across campus, the college is getting started on its health careers building with the goal of bidding the project in September and breaking ground in October. That building, which is targeted for an opening in winter 2012, will house the various allied health programs.

Originally, the health facility

Wednesday, two commissioners said they were convinced by 4R’s consultant.

Luke read from a prepared statement.

“While I understand the concerns of the Nashes regarding their cattle grazing near the mining site and the effect the mining might have on the sage grouse in the area, I believe the reports submitted by the applicant dur-

was to be connected with the new science building, but administrators decided to separate them in part because the programs required different types of lab and work space.

Construction on the science building will likely get under way in March.

And while it’s not the most exciting construction on campus, the additional parking lots that Zinkgraf plans to build in the coming months will likely be the most important for students who clog the hilly campus with cars each day.

The college will add 150 parking spaces north of the library on College Way, in part because the upcoming construction will reduce available parking on campus. And Zinkgraf said 30 more spaces will be put in place at the Redmond campus to deal with the enrollment increase there as well.

Not all the construction is taking place on COCC’s Bend campus.

The Madras education center, which will be located on Ashwood Road across from the Madras Aquatic Center on land donated by the Bean Foundation, is currently being designed and will be completed in the fall of 2011. That facility is to be between 8,500 and 9,000 square feet and will offer a variety of classes so students don’t have to travel as often to Bend.

Redmond’s new 30,000square-foot technology center, which will be located near the entrance to the Redmond campus on Airport Way and Salmon Avenue, is to open in fall 2012.

The college will hold community meetings to share information on the center in the coming weeks.

And the education center in Prineville, which is to be located on the site of the sale barn at the Crook County Fairgrounds, is still in planning stages. The building will be paid for and used by not only COCC but also Crook County, the Oregon State University Extension Service and the Oregon University System’s open campus program. Recently the groups received a $3.9 million federal grant to help fund the center’s construction, furniture and equipment and staffing.

COCC Vice President for Advancement Matt McCoy said the building has been designed and the hope is to get the facility up and running by fall 2011.

The groups must now determine who will manage and keep up the facility, but McCoy said that conversation is ongoing.

“We’re all on the same page,” he said. “When it’s done, this will be a real benefit for the community.”

Continued from C1 “I can’t see justifying the expense right now,” Barram said. “Our general fund is in such a state right now with other pressures.”

Costs for the program would come from the city’s general fund, which is facing a $17 million deficit over six years. And without the $50,000 cap councilors chose to pursue Wednesday, city officials estimated the cost for a full year of the discount program could be anywhere from $60,000 to $90,000.

Some councilors looked at the program as a sort of investment, and a way to retain businesses in the area and help them grow. Others said they wanted to monitor how effective the program is to make sure they just weren’t offering a subsidy to businesses that were going to relocate regardless of the whether the discount was available.

“In my mind this is economic development, just trying to boost business and trying to get things moving again,” Councilor Mark Capell said.

“To me, my number one thing is, how do we get Bend businesses moving?”

Meeting next month Councilors will likely hold a public hearing on the discount program next month, and have a tentative start date scheduled for Oct. 1.

In other action, the council voted unanimously to extend a system development charge deferral program for builders as a means to reduce the initial cost of construction. Individuals normally must pay these fees up front as a way to offset the impacts to the city’s water, sewer and road system, but under the program they are allowed to defer those charges for nine months interest free.

The council also approved findings that will allow to it to hire a construction manager/ general contractor to oversee its proposed $71 million overhaul of the municipal water system instead of using a traditional competitive bidding process.

Federal mandates require the city update its aging water supply system — which, in addition to wells, relies on taking surface water from Bridge Creek and piping it into Bend — and add a treatment facility to help kill potentially dangerous organisms, like Cryptosporidium, by 2012. The city’s proposed surface water improvement project includes several complex and expensive components, including a the installation of 10-milelong pipeline, hydroelectric powerhouse and water treatment plant.

Result in savings

ing this process on remand to be more convincing,” Luke said.

Baney agreed, and said she wanted the decision to include 4-R’s offer to coordinate with ranchers so mining activities will take place at times least likely to impact cattle.

Bend Public Works officials and an individuals from an engineering firm the city hired, HDR Engineering Inc., contend the CM/GC process is the best way to handle such a complicated project. They have said it could result in cost savings because the CM/ GC firm would be involved early in the design phase and could coordinate the various construction components in the most efficient manner.

Councilors also approved increasing the water and irrigation rates of about 700 Juniper Utility customers by 10 percent.

Bend residents could also start to see larger drive-thru menu boards based on another decision the council voted on that will change the city’s sign code. Once enacted this change will allow businesses with drive-thru lanes to increase the size of their menu boards to 45 square feet from previous restrictions of having only one 40-square-feet or two 15-square-foot signs.

Drive-thrus with two lanes can have two 45-square-feet signs.

Councilors Barram and Jim Clinton voted against the sign code amendment. A second reading of the amendment is planned for the next council meeting.

Oinkers in the long grass Tracking wild boar in California is no easy task HUNTING & FISHING

Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury watches his pop out in the first inning Wednesday.

Ellsbury activated, starts for Red Sox BOSTON — Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury went zero for five in a 9-1 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday night, his first game back in the lineup after a lengthy stint on the disabled list.

Ellsbury, a Madras High School and Oregon State product, was in center field against Cleveland and batted leadoff. He received a big cheer before his first at-bat, when he popped out to second base.

Ellsbury grounded out twice, popped out another time, and was also out on a fly ball to the outfield.

Ellsbury has been on the disabled list since May 28 with broken ribs. He initially injured his ribs in a game in Kansas City on April 11, when he collided with third baseman Adrian Beltre while playing defense.

Ellsbury had played in only nine games this season. He missed most of April and May with the rib injury that he reinjured when he returned for a short time in May. — The Associated Press

t was hotter than Election Day in a pit of rattlesnakes and so late even the lizards strutted around with long shadows.

Redding, Calif., hit a high of 108 degrees that day, and now, with the sun going down, temps were still in the high 90s.

By this time Friday, we had counted close to 60 boars, sows and piglets.

They were here for the water, a scarce commodity in the ranchlands east of Redding. A year-round creek cuts through the ranch, and springs burble out of the ground and push up the new

shoots of grass.

Guided by Parrey Cremeans and Tom McCloskey, Troy Neimann had tagged a 160-pound boar on a hilltop morning hunt.

We found another group of hogs where they wallowed in a spring and I took a cross-canyon poke. The bullet kicked dirt over the boar’s back and the swine kicked into high gear.

At lunchtime, back at the range, the Nosler Custom Model 48 cut the X in the target. My faith restored in the rifle, we set out again after dinner.

NFL Agent: Favre will play if he is healthy MANKATO, Minn. — Brett Favre’s flip-flopping is at full throttle, the surest sign yet that training camp is under way in Minnesota.

Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, said Wednesday that the veteran quarterback plans to return to the team if he is healthy.

The 40-year-old Favre is still rehabbing his surgically repaired left ankle that he injured in the NFC title game loss at New Orleans.

A day earlier, Favre texted some teammates and Vikings officials to say that his ankle was not healing like he had hoped and that he planned to retire. Favre denied sending any such messages and there was no explanation for the discrepancy.

There are a lot of Central Oregon cowboys — and one cowgirl — who are having solid seasons and may be headed to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas this December. Clockwise from top left: Russell Cardoza (Terrebonne) and Charly Crawford (Prineville) in team roping; Brenda Mays (Terrebonne) in barrel racing; Bobby Mote (Culver) in bareback riding and Casey McMillen (Redmond) in steer wrestling.

he calendar says August, but on the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association tour, it is never too early to start thinking about December.

Just four months from the 2010 National Finals Rodeo — the PRCA’s 10-day championship rodeo, scheduled for Dec. 2-11 in Las Vegas — seven Central Oregonians enter this weekend ranked in the top 15 of their respective rodeo events.

(The top 15 contestants in each rodeo event, based on prize money, qualify for the NFR, the World Series of pro rodeo.)

“The closer you are to the top of the list, the better off you are,” said Culver’s Bobby Mote, the 2009 bareback world champion. “Now, you can go into (the NFR) leading and lose

your spot, or you can come from behind. I’ve been in both instances and done all right.

“What it comes down to,” Mote said this week, “is over the course of the year being consistent and doing your job.”

In this year’s current bareback world standing, Mote is sitting in third place ($74,227), well within striking distance of the leader, Ryan Gray, of Cheney, Wash., ($114,337). Jason Havens, of Prineville (seventh, $61,326), and Steven Peebles, of Redmond (11th, $52,481), are also among the top 15 bareback earners so far this season.

“As long as you don’t miss any opportunities, you’ve got a chance to be OK,” said Mote, who earned $22,091 over the Fourth of July weekend despite not winning a single rodeo.

t’s a number. A nice round number, but still, just a number.

The 600th career home run by Alex Rodriguez on Wednesday took some of the immediate pressure off him, but the drama prince called A-Rod is never far from pressure, some of it self-inflicted.

This numerical milestone, making him the seventh major league slugger to reach 600, is no guarantee Rodriguez will gain automatic acceptance into the Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible five years after retirement.

He is 35, in great shape, and presumably a decade or more from that moment of truth.

But Rodriguez is well aware that his admitted dalliance with steroids — only from 2001 to 2003, before he came to the Yankees, he said — will stay with him.

Rodriguez is part of a quartet of sluggers who carry the scarlet letter ‘S’ on their broad backs. The retired stars Barry Bonds (the career leader with 762 homers) and Sammy Sosa (609) and Mark McGwire (583) are all linked, to one degree or another, to performance-enhancing drugs.

They are stacked up in the stratosphere, waiting to see if the writers who vote for membership in the Hall will ultimately accept them. At the moment, there are no guarantees. McGwire, who has been eligible for four years, eked his way up to 24 percent in January, far short of the 75 percent needed for admission.

This overt withholding of honor is the legacy of the steroid era that began in the last decade, when McGwire, Sosa and Bonds all had surprisingly high home run totals at advanced ages when most great sluggers are tailing off.

Peter Jacobsen

Peter Jacobsen said Wednesday that he will likely not play in the 2010 Jeld-Wen Tradition.

Jacobsen, a 56-year-old Portland native and former University of Oregon golfer, said he will undergo back surgery on Monday in Phoenix, Ariz.

And that, he said, will probably

keep him from playing in The Tradition, a major championship on the over-50 Champions Tour, which will take place Aug. 19-22 at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club.

“I would say that I am more than likely going to have to withdraw,” Jacobsen said Wednesday by phone from Arizona.

Cyclists said to back claims Armstrong doped

By Juliet Macur and Michael Schmidt New York Times News Service

Federal prosecutors have intensified their criminal investigation of the cyclist Lance Armstrong since the Tour de France ended last month.

They questioned many of his former associates — including cyclists who have supported and further detailed claims that Armstrong and his former U.S. Postal Service team participated in systematic doping, according to a cyclist who has been interviewed and two others privy to the inquiry.

In May, Armstrong’s former teammate Floyd Landis shocked the cycling world by publicly accusing Armstrong and other team members of using performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions to gain an unfair advantage. Landis said that Armstrong — the biggest name in the sport — had encouraged the doping and that the team had sold its bikes to help finance an expensive doping program.

Armstrong has denied any wrongdoing and has said that Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping and recently completed a two-year ban from the sport, had no credibility.

But now, prosecutors and investigators have more than Landis’ account to go on, according to the two people with knowledge of the investigation.

They requested anonymity because they did not want to jeopardize their access to sensitive information.

A former teammate of Armstrong’s said in a telephone interview Wednesday that he has spoken with investigators. He said he detailed some of his own drug use, as well as the widespread cheating that he said went on as part of the Postal Service team — all of which was done with Armstrong’s knowledge and encouragement.

The rider, who has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs or methods, asked that his name not be used because investiga-

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, center, leads a column of hundreds of fellow cyclists during a ride through Washington Park in Denver on Wednesday in support of an announcement of a major pro cycling race that will be staged in Colorado next year. For more details, see Sports in Brief, at right. Federal investigators are looking into Armstrong’s possible use of performance-enhancing drugs. tors advised him not to speak publicly about the information he provided. He has not been called before the grand jury that has been convened in Los Angeles to investigate the case.

Riders have been compelled to come forward. Tyler Hamilton, who is serving an eight-year ban for using performance-enhancing drugs, has met with the grand jury, those who have been briefed on the case said.

His lawyer, Chris Manderson, said that Hamilton had received a grand jury subpoena but did not say whether Hamilton had already provided testimony.

Armstrong is considered one of the most remarkable athletes in American history, someone who dominated his sport and also had a compelling personal story, having beaten testicular cancer.

Jeff Novitzky, a special agent for

the Food and Drug Administration, is in charge of the investigation and has been interviewing Armstrong’s former teammates and associates.

Novitzky — the head investigator in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroids case — is trying to determine if Armstrong, his teammates, the owners or managers of his former team conspired to defraud their sponsors by doping to improve their performance and win more money and prizes.

Armstrong did not respond to requests for comment put directly to his agent and his manager on Wednesday.

Toward the end of the Tour de France, Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the event, said he would deny any involvement in doping “as long as I live.”

Bryan D. Daly, a defense lawyer

• Elks’ split squad commits seven errors in 15-4 defeat: The Bend Elks split squad concluded its season with a loss Wednesday, falling 15-4 to the visiting Thurston County Senators. The game was tied 3-3 after five innings, but Thurston scored four runs in the sixth and eight runs in the seventh. The Elks committed seven errors and of the Senators’ 15 runs, only eight were earned. Jared Young, a Redmond High graduate, provided one of the few highlights for Bend, going two for two with three runs batted in.

• Mariners send Sweeney to Phillies: The Seattle Mariners traded five-time All-Star hitter Mike Sweeney to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The Phillies announced they had acquired Sweeney a day after they put All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard on the disabled list with a sprained ankle. Sweeney was batting .263 with six home runs and 18 RBIs in 30 games with Seattle this season.

• Nolan Ryan group wins auction for Rangers: Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan has won the high-stakes bidding war for the team. Officials in federal bankruptcy court in Fort Worth, Texas, announced early today that the group led by Ryan and Pittsburgh sports attorney Chuck Greenberg had made the best bid for the team. They staved off a fierce challenge from a group led by billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. The news prompted cheers and a standing ovation in the courtroom 10 hours after the auction began. The Greenberg-Ryan group’s final offer included $385 million in cash.

representing Armstrong, said any cyclists who claim that Armstrong had doped were not telling the truth.

“They just want them to incriminate Lance Armstrong and that’s my concern,” Daly said, adding that the prosecutors were working closely with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to pressure Armstrong’s former teammates. “To the extent that there’s anyone besides Floyd Landis saying things, the bottom line is, if you take away the soap opera and look at the scientific evidence, there is nothing.”

Daly said the reasons behind the investigation were still “very murky for us.”

“If Lance Armstrong came in second in those Tour de France races, there’s no way that Lance Armstrong would be involved in these cases,” Daly said. “I think that the concern is that they are caught up in the pursuit of a celebrity to catch him in a lie.”

The federal prosecutor Doug Miller is in charge of the case. Prosecutors are moving the case along because the 10-year statute of limitations on some of the alleged crimes they are investigating is due to expire next spring.

Several of Armstrong’s former employees and teammates — including George Hincapie, the U.S. national road racing champion — had been contacted by Novitzky before the Tour de France, which began in early July. Hincapie’s lawyer, Zia F. Modabber, has said that Hincapie was likely to talk to Novitzky once the Tour was over. Modabber, who is based in Los Angeles, did not return a phone call or an e-mail on Wednesday.

Cyclists called to meet with Novitzky or testify before the grand jury may run into their own problems if they don’t tell the truth and are later caught lying. In the Balco case, the track and field sprinter Marion Jones received six months in prison, in part for lying to investigators about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

• Goodell says Roethlisberger doing more than asked: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is doing more than he was asked to do by the league when given a six-game suspension after being accused of sexual assault. Goodell says he will meet with Roethlisberger before the regular season starts in September and determine whether to reduce the punishment to four games. During a visit to the Baltimore Ravens training camp Wednesday, Goodell said: “He is doing what he’s been asked to do — and frankly more.”

• Lions sign Suh for $68 million: The Detroit Lions waited four-plus days to get Ndamukong Suh on the field, then wasted no time putting him on their firststring defense in his first practice. Suh took a flight from Nebraska to Michigan on Wednesday, signed his contract, passed a conditioning test and joined his teammates for drills on a muggy afternoon. Suh’s five-year contract is worth $40 million guaranteed and as much as $68 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

Basketball • Celtics sign Shaq: The Big Three of the Boston Celtics are now a Very Big Four. The Eastern Conference champions signed 7-foot-1, 325-pound Shaquille O’Neal on Wednesday, adding the 15-time All-Star to a team needing his size with center Kendrick Perkins recovering from knee surgery that could sideline him until February. The deal with the free agent center is for two years and about $3 million, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said on condition of anonymity because no details were released.

Cycling • Armstrong returns pro cycling to Colorado: Lance Armstrong took to the streets of downtown Denver on Wednesday with Gov. Bill Ritter and hundreds of citizen cyclists to celebrate the realization of his dream of bringing a major international pro-cycling stage race to Colorado next year. It was a welcome respite for Armstrong, who is under scrutiny from federal investigators looking into cheating in professional cycling following claims by former teammate Floyd Landis that he used performanceenhancing drugs. The exact route of the Aug. 22-28, 2011, race, called the Quiznos Pro Challenge, has not been mapped out yet, but it will include a mix of mountain, sprint and downtown stages like the old Coors Classic, which ended in 1988, Armstrong told The Associated Press in advance of the announcement on the steps of the state capitol. Fresh off his second retirement from the Tour de France, which he won a record seven times, Armstrong said he hopes to ride in the Quiznos Pro Challenge himself, but he wasn’t making any promises.

Tennis • Tipsarevic upsets No. 6 Querrey in Washington: Sam Querrey made two double faults at crucial times and Janko Tipsarevic took advantage to upset the sixth-seeded American 7-6 (3), 6-3 on Wednesday in the second round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington, D.C. David Nalbandian continued his strong return after a 3½ months off with a left hamstring injury. The Argentine beat No. 7-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka 6-1, 6-3 to advance to the third round in his first tournament since losing in the quarterfinals at Monte Carlo in April.

• Kleybanova stuns No. 2 ranked Jankovic: Alisa Kleybanova beat No. 2 ranked Jelena Jankovic 75, 6-2 in a second-round match Wednesday night at the Mercury Insurance Open in Calsbad, Calif.

French Open finalist Samantha Stosur advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-4 win over American teenager Melanie Oudin.

Swimming • Phelps wins, Peirsol upset in U.S. nationals: Michael Phelps won the 200-meter freestyle at the U.S. national championships, then came back less than an hour later to win the 200 butterfly on Wednesday night in Irvine, Calif. Phelps led all the way in the 200 free and touched in 1 minute, 45.61 seconds — fastest in the world this year — to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the Pan Pacific championships later this month. Ryan Lochte finished second in 1:47.78, the second-quickest time in the world.

Phelps was last off the blocks in the 200 fly, but he led all the way again and easily won despite what he called “probably the worst 200 fly I’ve swum in my life in terms of strokes and turns.” He touched in 1:56.00 — 4.49 seconds slower than his world-record time at last year’s world championships in Rome. World recordholder Aaron Peirsol was upset in the 100 backstroke, narrowly losing to David Plummer, a 24year-old who won the first national title of his career.

Natalie Coughlin won the 100 backstroke in 1:00.14, and Allison Schmitt edged Dana Vollmer by less than a tenth of a second in the 200 freestyle.

Tiger Woods tees off on the ninth hole during a practice round for the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club Wednesday in Akron, Ohio.

Woods has high hopes for himself at Firestone

By Doug Ferguson

Tiger’s troubling year

The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio — A two-hour window Wednesday provided a snapshot of a strange year for Tiger Woods.

The guy famous for sweeping dew off the grass with his crack-of-dawn practice rounds arrived shortly before lunch on the eve of the Bridgestone Invitational to play nine holes at Firestone. That’s not terribly unusual, for Woods knows Firestone as well as any other course, and it’s where he made history last year as the only player to win a PGA Tour event seven times on the same course.

One tee shot into his practice round, the siren sounded because of dangerous weather.

He wound up playing only four holes.

This year has been anything but routine. Woods didn’t start until the Masters while coping with the fallout from his extramarital affairs. He has gone seven tournaments without winning, the longest drought at the start of any season since he turned pro.

And in comments that were veiled yet somewhat revealing, Woods said the distractions he faces in his personal life affect him as much during practice as they do during tournaments.

“I haven’t been able to practice as long as I normally have when I’ve been out here,” Woods said. “People have been wanting more of my time. I’ve had more things going on once I’m at a tournament site than I have in the past, and for different reasons. That’s obviously taken a little bit of a toll on my preparation.

“Things are starting to normalize,” he said. “And that’s been a good sign.”

Who wants more of his time? Woods didn’t elaborate.

He has refused to answer questions about his personal life. Notah Begay, one of his best friends, mentioned last month at a press conference that Woods is going through a divorce, which most have suspected.

That would be one thing that Woods couldn’t turn over to his business team to handle.

“It’s been difficult,” Woods said. “It’s been a trying time for a lot of people who are friends of mine and who know me. It’s been tough, no doubt.”

As for the golf? Woods believes it’s getting closer, and only he knows.

The results have not been impressive, especially considering the places he has been. This was supposed to be

Outside of his top-10 finishes at the Masters and the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods hasn’t had a lot of success on the golf course this season.

Tournament Date Finish The Masters April 11 Tie-4th Quail Hollow Championship May 2 Missed cut The Players Championship May 9 Withdrew The Memorial June 6 Tie-19th U.S. Open June 20 Tie-4th AT&T National July 4 Tie-46th British Open July 18th Tie-23rd

the year that Woods, with his 14 majors, made inroads into the record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus. But he fell apart early in the final round at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open, and after opening with a 65 in easy conditions at St. Andrews, he was never a factor the rest of the week.

The culprit has been putting, and Woods attributes that to not getting the right speed.

He also attributed it to lack of practice.

“Just had to go back to basics and practice a little bit more,” Woods said.

“I haven’t worked on my putting probably as much as I should have the last couple of years. So had to go back to that.”

Putting was his primary focus in the two weeks he has been at home in Florida since the British Open.

Why did he stop practicing as much in the first place?

“I haven’t had time,” he said. “I haven’t had as much time to practice overall, with the kids. Life has changed.”

Only players know how much time they really put into the game, although Woods brought attention to his preparations for the British Open when he flew home from a two-day charity event in Ireland for four days instead of staying over in Ireland or Scotland and practicing links golf ahead of one of his favorite majors.

Firestone should be a good gauge on his game, perhaps even more than St. Andrews.

Woods first played the tree-lined course as a teenager when he traveled through Ohio with his father. He made his debut in 1997 when it was the old World Series of Golf. In 11 appearances, he has seven victories and

has never finished out of the top 5. Not even his record at Torrey Pines is that daunting.

It has been six years since Woods teed it up at Firestone without winning.

He was a runner-up that year.

“I’ve always liked this type ... golf courses like this where the shape is very simple,” Woods said. “It’s not target golf, and I’ve always liked that.”

The timing has rarely been so important.

Woods slipped to No. 9 in the Ryder Cup standings this week, giving him only two tournaments — the World Golf Championship this week and the PGA Championship next week — to get into the top eight and qualify for the U.S. team.

Asked if he would play in the Ryder Cup as a captain’s pick, Woods replied, “I’m planning on playing my way onto the team.”

Two more questions along the same line produced the same answer. It was Woods’ way of saying he’s not thinking about anything else but playing well enough to make the team, just like he doesn’t practice from drop zones, like he refused to practice out of the Church Pew bunkers at Oakmont before the U.S. Open.

Also at stake this week is his No. 1 ranking, which he has held the last five years. Phil Mickelson has had a chance to overtake him since the middle of May, but now Lee Westwood is in position to get to No. 1 by winning at Firestone.

“How I got here in the first place was by winning golf tournaments, and how I will sustain it is by winning golf tournaments,” Woods said. “Winning golf tournaments takes cares of a lot of things, and being No. 1 in one of them.”

ay 2 of Year 3 of the Brett Favre retirement watch was mostly a quiet one down in Mississippi.

Just Favre sitting in a recliner on his farm, sending a few text messages and watching the big screen as ESPN played a continuous loop of his five greatest passes.

Things weren’t so relaxed up in Minnesota. There, teammates ran sprints and anxiously counted down the minutes to the first bathroom break so they could gather and analyze the latest batch of missives waiting on their phones.

Quarterback wannabe Tavaris Jackson swatted a few mosquitoes as he looked at his.

“Hey Tav, hope things r well,” it read.

“Just funnin’ u ystdy about that quittin’ thing. But, hey, enugh about me. Enjoy the preseason! U guys r the best!”

Vikings coach Brad Childress waited until lunch to read his.

“What’s up, Chil? Throwin’ a few passes to the boys down here tdy and u know what? They liked me! They really liked me! But, hey, enugh about me. BTW, did you watch ESPN? 17 different analysts talking ‘bout me! 17! All Brett all the time baby!”

Owner Zygi Wilf had his assistant read his to him.

“My man, Ziggy! U hear about my ankle? Not so good, but u know me. I’m tough. Never know, a few weeks more rest and a few more zeros on my contract and it could get better. But, hey, enugh about me. Oh, almost 4got, any chance ur private jet is avble, say, the 1st week of Sept?”

So many texts, so little time. Pushing all those buttons had to make it hard for Favre to concentrate on the real business of the day — watching the talking heads on TV fall all over each other praising his magnificence.

“Just another great moment in Brett’s career,” one screamed as the video rolled.

“It’s so much fun to talk about,” another said, smiling as if he really believed it.

Not to worry. A quick check of the calendar shows 36 days before the Vikings head down to New Orleans for a Thursday night rematch of the NFC championship game that opens the NFL season.

Plenty of time left for even more fun.

Plenty of time to babble on incessantly about Favre’s future.

And plenty of time for Favre to sit in the recliner and send texts.

Don’t worry if you’ve seen this act before, or that it all seems like a bad summer rerun. The script has been tweaked, and some of the names changed to protect the innocent.

Only this time it’s not a drama. It’s become a comedy.

No, make that a farce. One in which we already know the ending.

The latest edition of “As The Vikings Turn” will end with Favre under center Sept. 9 in the Superdome, just as most of his teammates expected before they

It helps that the Vikings have no choice but to play along with his game. They’ve invested their short-term future in the 40-year-old, and whether he plays or not is probably the difference between them winning the NFC North or being an 8-8 team. began to get texts from Favre indicating otherwise. By then his legend will have grown into almost mythical proportions as the talking heads constantly proclaim his greatness and every video clip from the past shows a completed pass.

Sure, Favre could have made the rest of the summer easier by simply saying he would show up when the preseason ends and everyone would have gone about their business. But that would not have satisfied his seemingly insatiable need to be needed, and it would not have brought the camera crews down to Hattiesburg for breathless daily updates about his status.

It also would not have gotten him a raise from the $13 million he was supposed to make this season. Favre may act like a country bumpkin, but by the time the drama queen of the South gets done with this acting job, he’s likely to be several million dollars richer.

It helps that the Vikings have no choice but to play along with his game. They’ve invested their short-term future in the 40-year-old, and whether he plays or not is probably the difference between them winning the NFC North or being an 8-8 team. It also may play a role in whether they can jumpstart their bid for a new stadium in Minneapolis.

So there was Favre on the practice field Wednesday at Oak Grove High School, throwing balls to some kids and throwing curves to everyone else. A day after sending text messages to some teammates telling them his ankle wasn’t healing properly and that he wouldn’t be back, he denied any such thing as he left in his pickup truck.

His agent, meanwhile, put yet another spin on things by saying Favre would play if the ankle cooperates.

Let’s hope he does. Putting up with his machinations over the next few weeks may be difficult, but the thought of him sobbing uncontrollably through another retirement news conference borders on stomach turning.

Then again, maybe he won’t hold one when he’s finally done. Maybe he’ll just send out another text message and quietly fade away.

“I’m quitting,” it could say. “But, hey, enugh about me.”

Depending on who you are, schedule can be full of cupcakes or cudgels

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — ou can never be sure how a schedule is going to turn out because they usually are made years in advance, but catching the right or wrong breaks in a given season can mean the difference in a coach raising a trophy or a goodbye toast.

Marquis de Sade awards for cruelty: • San Jose State. No wonder Dick Tomey retired.

Have you seen this gantlet? The Spartans, with first-year Coach Mike MacIntyre, open at Alabama and Wisconsin in successive weeks and then, after a home respite against Southern Utah, visit Utah on Sept. 25. Toss in a Western Conference game against Boise State on Oct. 16 and that pits San Jose State against four bowl-winning schools that finished a combined 48-6 last year. Oh, Alabama is the defending national champion and Boise State returns 21 starters off a 14-0 squad that finished fourth in the final Associate Press poll.

Upset pick of the year: UC Davis over San Jose State on Oct. 2. Reason: The Spartans might not have any players left.

• Colorado. Dan Hawkins, meet your schedulemaker. Hawkins somehow earned another year in Boulder only to face this: Colorado State (in Denver),

Y

Butch Dill / The Associated Press

Florida and head coach Urban Meyer don’t have to leave Florida for any of their nonconference games this season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL C O M M E N TA RY at California, Georgia, at Missouri, at Oklahoma, at Nebraska.

• Brigham Young. That Sept. 4 home opener against Washington doesn’t look so easy now with the Huskies returning quarterback Jake Locker. After that, BYU plays at Air Force and at Florida State.

• Florida International. On your mark, get set ... we’re oh-and-four? The Golden Panthers open at home against Rutgers, followed by road games against Texas A&M, Maryland and Pittsburgh.

• Oregon State. As if the Pac-10 wasn’t tough enough, the Beavers have decided to play out of conference road games against two non-BCS schools that should begin the year in the top 10. Oregon State opens against Texas Christian in Arlington and travels to Boise State on Sept. 25.

• Tennessee. Volunteer fans can always blame these likely losses on Lane Kiffin: Oregon, Florida, at Louisiana State, at Georgia, Alabama, at South Carolina.... Sheesh.

Then there’s the flip side: Schools with schedules built for a national title run.

• Nebraska. The Cornhuskers’ last year in the Big

12 opens at home against Western Kentucky and Idaho, followed by a definite tester at Washington and then back home for South Dakota State. Nebraska gets Texas in Lincoln and misses Oklahoma on the regular-season schedule.

• Oregon. The Ducks open with New Mexico, go to Tennessee and return home for Portland State before opening the Pac-10 season at Arizona State.

• Ohio State. Eight home games with Miami, Penn State and Michigan all coming to Columbus. The make-or-breaks will be at Wisconsin and at Iowa.

• Iowa. The only tough nonconference game is at Arizona, with Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State all coming to Iowa City.

• Boise State. Nonconference wins against Virginia Tech and Oregon State could give the Broncos the credibility clout they need to overcome their much weaker conference schedule.

• Florida. The Gators never leave the state for nonconference games and should be 4-0 after Miami (Ohio), South Florida, at Tennessee and Kentucky.

The decider: at Alabama on Oct. 2.

• Virginia Tech. A Labor Day victory against Boise State sets the Hokies up for a title run because they should own the rest of their nonconference schedule (James Madison, East Carolina, Central Michigan) and the Atlantic Coast Conference.

AL ROUNDUP Yankees 5, Blue Jays 1 NEW YORK— Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to hit 600 home runs, driving a pitch into Yankee Stadium’s Monument Park in center field against the Toronto Blue Jays exactly three years to the day after his 500th homer. His two-run, first-inning drive off Shaun Marcum put New York ahead, and the Yankees coasted to a victory to end a three-game losing streak.

A-Rod Continued from D1 Steroids were illegal by federal law and by edict of Major League Baseball, although no testing was in place during their peak years.

On his own, Rodriguez brought up his link with steroids Wednesday after the Yankees defeated Toronto, 5-1, at Yankee Stadium.

“There are people who have doubts because of what happened in the past,” Rodriguez volunteered to Suzyn Waldman of WCBS Radio.

Rodriguez can sometimes appear clueless but is savvy enough to know that many fans and writers will have long memories.

Nothing comes easily for Rodriguez, one of the greatest combinations of power and gracefulness to play this sport.

It is tempting to blame fans and the news media for making a fuss over this artificial barrier, but the deeper reality is that No. 600 was yet another business venture for A-Rod, with specially marked balls used to avoid counterfeiting.

What’s a few more million among friends? No doubt Rodriguez and the Yankees and other memorabilia hucksters will make money off subsequent home run balls as he chases Sosa, then Junior Griffey (630), Willie Mays (660), Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755), all four free of steroid suspicions, and heads toward Bonds, who is still being investigated for perjury in 2003.

All fans know there are no asterisks in baseball records. But there are memories. The fans

Anglers having success with rainbow trout at Cultus Lake Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Antelope Flat Reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and fishing is good. These fish will be able to take advantage of an ample food supply should grow quickly.

CLEAR LAKE: Clear Lake has been stocked with lots of keepers and brood rainbow trout. Lake levels may be getting low due to irrigation withdrawals.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Trout fishing at Crane Prairie seems to be slowing with the warm weather.

Anglers should target the channel areas.

New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez looks on as fans cheer in the background after hitting his 600th career home run during the first inning of a game against Toronto at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. know McGwire has admitted using steroids — but only for health and not for strength, he claimed, as if one could separate the two.

Sosa is suspected of testing positive for steroids before there were penalties, and Bonds was implicated with the notorious BALCO laboratory. In the public mind, ARod is running on the McGwireSosa-Bonds ticket.

Rodriguez does not need much

pressure to lapse into the occasional stall. He could not deliver a championship in his first five years with the Yankees but was a monster as the Yankees won the 2009 World Series. After hitting No. 599, he once against seemed to be gripping the handle of life too tightly, going 46 at-bats before No. 600.

“I certainly felt it was time to move on,” Rodriguez said after

Wednesday’s game.

Was he trying too hard? Waldman asked. “It’s inevitable,” he said. “You can’t ignore it because of the flashbulbs. I’ve had a lot of support from the guys telling me to relax.”

Good luck telling Rodriguez to relax. The numbers, the milestones, will come and go. ARod will always carry a lot of baggage.

Problems mount for Cards despite great 1-2 punch

By Bernie Miklasz McClatchy-Tribune News Service

ST. LOUIS — he Cardinals stopped the bleeding Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. And to no one’s surprise, the emergency responder was Chris Carpenter, who revived his teammates after consecutive beatdowns by the Houston Astros.

Carpenter and co-ace Adam Wainwright have stabilized the Cardinals all season. The reality is as simple as the math: When they pitch, good things usually happen.

The menacing Carpenter allowed two runs in 7 1⁄3 innings Wednesday to amp his record to 12-3 with a 2.91 ERA. And the Cardinals’ 8-4 win left them with a glossy 33-14 mark in games started by Carpenter and Wainwright this season.

The team is 27-34 in all other contests.

If you wonder whether the Cardinals are a good or mediocre team, then there’s your dividing line, in full clarity.

This isn’t intended to slight rookie Jaime Garcia, who has pitched superbly at times in winning nine games and compiling a 2.53 ERA. But the Cardinals are only 11-10 in Garcia’s starts. Part of that is based on low run support. But Garcia doesn’t go deep into games. And when Garcia departs, usually after five or six innings, the possibility of danger is elevated. Garcia leaves too many things to chance.

T

Rodeo Continued from D1 “I know where I’m at in the standings, but I mainly just try and get every point available and not miss any opportunities.

I know if I do that the whole season I’ll end up in a good spot.”

Central Oregon team ropers Charly Crawford, of Prineville, and Russell Cardoza, of Terrebonne, are in the hunt to return to Las Vegas after the duo placed third in the NFR average last year. Crawford, a five-time NFR qualifier, is currently ninth in the team-roping header standings ($46,675), while Cardoza, new to Central Oregon from Farmington, Calif., is eighth ($48,526) in the heeler listings.

Cardoza, who also does some

Jacobsen Continued from D1 Jacobsen has a special relationship with The Tradition. Not only is the 72-hole tournament played in his home state, but his company, Peter Jacobsen Sports, manages the event.

Injuries forced Jacobsen to withdraw during the final round of The Tradition in 2007, the first year the tournament was played at Crosswater. He also withdrew

BASEBALL C O M M E N TA RY Carpenter and Wainwright pile up innings and pile-drive opponents. They leave little to chance.

They simply take a game by the throat and won’t let go.

Garcia is still an asset, and Jake Westbrook should help. And as the Cardinals spin the wheel on a fifth starter, they hope to find reliable duty (and some extra innings) from Kyle Lohse, Jeff Suppan or longshot Brad Penny.

In acquiring Westbrook for the price of outfielder Ryan Ludwick, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and GM John Mozeliak sounded the alarm in declaring the team’s dire need for starting pitching. The terms (Ludwick) may have been wrong, but the idea was spot on. The Cardinals needed Westbrook. And they need the rotation to come up bigger and better than before.

Cardinals starters are going to be asked to reinforce more areas of weakness. I say that because the Cardinals’ list of problems is growing longer instead of shorter at this advanced stage of the season.

The bullpen is in disarray. It’s been short-handed this week, which is odd considering that La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan are carrying 13 pitchers.

Then again, the Cardinals burned out the bullpen against Pittsburgh last weekend, using five relievers

in an 11-1 win Saturday and three relievers in Sunday’s 9-1 thrashing. Kyle McClellan couldn’t pitch Monday or Tuesday because he’d been wasted in warming up three times — and never used — during Sunday’s blowout.

The latest distressing development is the loss of Jason Motte to the disabled list with shoulder problems. He broke down after being asked to pitch a second inning Monday — a request made because the Cardinals were low on available relievers. Motte has the best strikeout rate in the bullpen, so the Cardinals will be missing his imposing heat for at least 15 days. And possibly longer.

Meanwhile, there’s the collapsing Cardinals defense. The ground balls hit to the infield — except for shortstop Brendan Ryan — are about as random as a roll of the dice at a Las Vegas craps table.

The season-ending loss of third baseman David Freese was a significant blow in at least three aspects. Freese would have freed Felipe Lopez to take on the superutility role that’s so valuable to the La Russa scheme. Freese would have solidified the corner with his glove. And the anticipated reinstallment of Freese’s offense was part of the thinking that went into trading Ludwick.

The Cardinals don’t have a ready-made, in-house solution for third base. Lopez will continue to receive plenty of assignments there, even though 3B is hardly his strongest position. I think it

makes sense to get Allen Craig prepped for a shot to play third; it’s his natural position. Craig is probably a below-average glove there — but again, the Cardinals don’t have a slick fielder to put at third base. So why not try Craig?

His bat will play.

“I think ‘Mo’ is going to look for somebody,” La Russa said.

But the quality and availability of third basemen — through waiver process — is murky and rather depressing. And the Cardinals don’t have much to trade, unless they are willing to overpay dramatically again, as they did with Ludwick.

That’s how it’s going for the Cardinals. They’re a winning but erratic team that’s scrambling to patch an increasing number of wounds. Carpenter and Wainwright can cure just about anything, but I suppose a two-man rotation is out of the question.

CRESCENT LAKE: No recent reports, but there should be good opportunity for lake trout, brown trout and kokanee.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: A sample of redband trout and mountain whitefish are tagged with a numbered floy tag protruding from the back. Anglers who catch a trout or whitefish with a floy tag are encouraged to release the fish after recording the tag number, fish length and location caught. Anglers can send the information to ODFW at (541) 447-5111 ext. 24 or michael. r.harrington@state.or.us.

CULTUS LAKE: There have been some good reports of nice rainbow trout and lake trout being harvested from Cultus over the last several weeks.

DAVIS LAKE: Fishing for largemouth bass has been decent if you can hit the water on a non-windy day. Best bass fishing is early or late in the day. No recent reports on the trout fishing. Please note this is a fly-fishing only lake. Please check your synopsis for the regulations for this water body.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): The Deschutes River is open to angling for steelhead and trout from the mouth upstream to Pelton Dam (river mile 100). Fishing for summer steelhead has been good despite slightly warmer water temperatures at the mouth of the river. ODFW encourages steelhead and trout anglers to take normal precautions when water temperatures are high — fish during the cooler parts of the day (mornings and evenings), play and land fish quickly, and keep wild fish in the water as much as possible.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Benham Falls): No recent reports.

The flows are now well-suited for fishing. Please note this reach of river is restricted to the use of flies and lures only.

EAST LAKE: Recent reports are that trout fishing is starting to pick up.

FALL RIVER: Fishing has been good.

Nymphs have been particularly effective, but fish also are taking at-

FISHING REPORT tractor dry fly patterns.

FROG LAKE: Frog has been stocked twice and should offer great opportunity for early summer fishing.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Fishing is good. Trolling is the most effective method; however, bank anglers are often successful near the dam and fishing platform.

KINGSLEY RESERVOIR: Kingsley has been stocked with lots of trout and should offer good fishing for trout.

Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout including large trophy trout and steelhead.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Smallmouth bass fishing is starting to pick up in the reservoir.

LOST LAKE: Lost Lake has been stocked with lots of rainbow trout and has a few resident brown trout. Lost is great place to troll around in a small boat or fish from the bank.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Look for a golden stone hatch on the upper river, with pale morning duns and caddis hatches throughout the river.

NORTH TWIN: No recent reports. North Twin is a great lake to take young kids to as there is a good beach shoreline and it is protected from the wind. Look to catch rainbow trout in the 8-inch to 13-inch size range.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should be aware that beginning in 2010 new fishing regulations go into effect that permanently restricts fishing to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Anglers are reporting improved fishing over past years. Opportunities for 12- to 20inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

ODELL LAKE: The kokanee have gone a bit deeper but are still being caught in good numbers. Please note that all bull trout must be released unharmed.

PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: Pine Hollow has been recently stocked and should offer good fishing for trout.

Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout including large trophy trout.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers continue to report good fishing and have reported catching larger trout than in recent years. Anglers should consult the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations (page 63) for maximum length requirements and bag limits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake should offer anglers a good opportunity to catch bass and bluegill. It’s also a great place to catch carp on the fly rod.

THREE CREEKS LAKE: This small lake near Sisters was stocked in late June and fishing has been very good for both recently stocked and holdover fish.

Using old lures in a new way

By Ray Sasser McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PAMPA, Texas — allas businessman T. Boone Pickens bought and groomed his Mesa Vista ranch for quail hunting, and it probably deserves the title “world’s greatest quail hunting ranch.”

Though Pickens readily admits he’s not much of a fisherman, he took advantage of the enormous Ogallala Aquifer hidden just under the surface in the Canadian River bottom, constructing a chain of lakes that seems unworldly in this otherwise sere landscape.

What was once a busy place during hunting season has thus become a year-round outdoor playground — a veritable Disney World for hunting, fishing and wildlife watching.

It’s also a great place to test fishing lures. The fish are easy to locate and there are lots of them, so you know that you’re showing the lure to fish on a regular basis. It’s a matter of whether the fish will bite.

By the same token, you can figure out new ways to fish old lures, which is what my wife, Emilie, and I did recently.

Since they first came onto the market, I’ve been a huge fan of topwater plastic frogs. These are lures designed to buzz across

Troy Neimann tracks a big boar in a group of feral hogs on a hunt in California last week.

Oinkers Continued from D1 In the blackberries, we walked into a sounder of pigs sound asleep. First away was a sow, trailed by two other dry sows, and then a young boar broke out of the brush on our left. He stopped half a dozen times to look back, broadside each time.

Robyn Neimann leapt out of her boots when a snorting pile of pigs erupted out of the bushes next to her.

Another sow bristled, bluffcharged and popped her teeth like she could chew the sights off a six-gun.

Later that evening, we watched two bull elk in velvet, one a 7x6, walk out of the oaks and into the open. Beyond them, two huge boars trotted toward the creek.

There were four of us on the hunt. Out with his brother Steve, Ed Boero, of Redmond, shot a big boar at close to 200 yards on Saturday morning.

We were joined as well by bowhunter Dennis Dunn, from Kirkland, Wash. Dunn — who has taken all 29 species of native North American big game, a hunting career he chronicled in his new book, “Barebow!”

— was on his first hunt for wild boar, a species introduced to the New World.

With all the swine we saw on

Friday night, I knew I could hold out for a big one on this, my last evening to hunt.

The nonnative feral wild boar has become California’s most popular big game as well as the state’s biggest pest. To hunt south of the border you need a nonresident hunting license ($144.65) and a tag ($66.70).

Adult wild hogs tip the scales at between 100 and 200 pounds, but boars can reach 375 pounds and grow wicked tusks. Meet one with his bristles up, and you’d better make yourself as scarce as sunflowers at Christmas.

We started at the springs where the shoots of grass were ankle high and every footfall sank an inch into the saturated ground. We climbed high for a look into the valley and prowled through patches of blackberry.

Then we found fresh tracks — backhoe tracks, where the rancher had been cutting irrigation ditches earlier in the day.

Now we had something for which we could blame the lack of ambulatory pork. Alarmed by the equipment, the pigs must have scooted across the creek.

By the time we figured that out, it was almost dark, too late to change our plan.

Tom McCloskey had his eye on the black Angus that had grouped in the flats. Wild boar often move in with the beef for protection. After a few minutes

of glassing, Tom located a group of pigs.

“Let’s get a closer look,” I whispered.

We used the blackberries for cover and closed the distance to about a hundred yards. But an old cow spotted us and started a stampede. When the dust had cleared, the cows hadn’t traveled very far, but the pigs were now at the far side of the herd.

Four pigs — two gray, two black — stood in the long grass beneath an oak. The biggest of them was a black.

When the pigs started to trot, the biggest one was at the back.

This was a group of pigs we had watched the night before. Last night, they had been too small.

McCloskey set up the shooting sticks and clicked the range. “ O n e - hu nd r e d - s i x t y- t h r e e yards,” he said.

A 140-grain AccuBond streaked out through the dusk.

Three pigs charged away and one, a young boar, went down.

Last night he had been too small, but this evening, with the sun low in the west, he cast a big shadow.

the surface with their legs kicking like Michael Phelps swimming for Olympic gold.

There’s something about the fast-moving frog that elicits explosive strikes from largemouth bass, but only when the bass are in an aggressive mode. When Emilie and I fished at Mesa Vista, the fish were definitely not aggressive.

That became apparent while I was trying to catch fish by buzzing a frog along the surface in a crystal clear lake. The water was so clear that fish were readily visible, which creates another unusual learning experience.

Bass would turn to look at the surface commotion and maybe even move on a collision course with the speeding lure, only to turn away at the last moment.

Out of frustration, I paused the lure near a three-pounder and allowed it to sink. The fish swam up casually, flared its gills and ate the frog.

For whatever reason, the vast majority of those bass did not want the frog fished on the surface. Slow down the retrieve so the lure was swimming beneath the surface like a soft plastic crankbait, and it was a different story.

Any soft plastic lure can be made to do things it’s not designed to do, sometimes with amazing success. I frequently

catch fish on a big plastic lizard swum near the surface, for instance. Like the plastic worm, the plastic lizard is intended to be fished with a slip sinker on or near bottom.

My favorite lizard is Strike King’s Iguana, a 10-inch, slowsinking chunk of plastic with a curly tail that undulates whenever the lure is moved. I often get bites well away from the cover, probably from fish that followed the lure until they could no longer resist it. If you stop the retrieve periodically and let the lure sink slowly, that unexpected change of pace often triggers a bite.

These are basic principles that fishermen tend to forget. We all have favorite lures and favorite methods of fishing those old standards. Changing the pace can make a big difference.

FLY-TYING CORNER

For trout, danger comes from above and there is no greater threat than the osprey. Anderson’s Cross-Wired Bird of Prey brings the peril to eye level in a curvaceous nymph that uses wire for color, texture and a fast rate of sink. A summertime searching pattern, the BOP is best employed in tandem with a smaller fly like a Pheasant Tail, a Bubbleback Emerger or a Rainbow Warrior. In riffled water, use a strike indicator set two- to three-times the depth.

TRAIL UPDATE

HIKING WITH

Little Brother

By Markian Hawryluk

L

ittle brothers can be a pain in the you-know-what.

That’s why it’s incumbent on older brothers to set the tone early, let them know who’s in charge from day one. I certainly did my best to keep my younger brother in his place. Fortunately for me, my little brother — now about 6 foot 5, 250 pounds — doesn’t hold a grudge.

I figured that a climb up the volcanic remnant known as Little Brother would be a walk in the park. After all, Little Brother doesn’t even measure up to his Three Sisters or his unmarried Brother John, more commonly known as Mount Bachelor. But on Saturday, I guess the 7,800-foot mound decided to exact a little revenge on behalf of little brothers everywhere.

The route up Little Brother is what’s known as a scramble.

It’s harder than hiking on a trail, sometimes requiring the use of hands to pull yourself over rocks or obstacles, but not rising to the level of rock climbing or technical mountaineering. It’s just off the Pacific Crest Trail in the McKenzie Pass area. But a more scenic approach starts from the Obsidian Trailhead, sixand-a-half miles past the Dee Wright Observatory on the McKenzie Pass Highway. The trail goes through a limited-use area, requiring a U.S. Forest Service permit. They’re free but limited to only 30 day hikers and 40 overnight hikers per day in order to protect this scenic area.

The Rooster Rock Fire has burned some 4,200 acres, affecting some area trails and forest roads, according to Deschutes National Forest trails specialist Chris Sabo.

“At this point, we’re going to try to open up the south end from Todd Lake up to the cutoff to Broken Top Trailhead,” Sabo said. “Because of the fire activity farther north, we do not want to open that road north of the trailhead.” A barricade will be erected, and if visitors attempt to go beyond that point, the road may be closed completely, Sabo said.

High Street to play Starry Night show For more than a decade, the popular Sisters Starry Nights series has raised money for Sisters schools by putting on benefit concerts featuring big names like Lyle Lovett and Vince Gill.

Earlier this year, though, the crew behind the shows decided to take a hiatus in 2010. When word of that move got to Matt Summers, vocalist for the Boise-based band High Street, he jumped at the chance to help.

Thus, A Starry Summer Night was born. On Aug. 13, High Street will play its high-energy blend of jazz, swing, blues and more at Aspen Lakes golf course (16900 Aspen Lakes Drive, Sisters), and proceeds will benefit the Sisters School Foundation. The evening will feature a buffet dinner, silent auction and the outdoor concert.

High Street will play at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. for the dinner. Sisters High School students will provide entertainment during dinner, and the auction will run until 8:30 p.m.

Tickets cost $50, or sponsorship tables seating eight guests are available for $500. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at Aspen Lakes Pro Shop (541549-4588), Metamorphosis Salon and Spa (541-549-1784) in Sisters, or High Desert Gallery (541-5496250) in Bend. Purchase your tickets by Wednesday, because there will be tickets available at the door, but in limited numbers. Contact Melinda Witt, 541-420-9505 or mocha@outlawnet.com.

Town of Shaniko plans weekend party Shaniko Days are back, taking place Friday through Sunday at the little town approximately 80 miles from Bend.

Each day of the event will feature vendors and shops, with self-guided tours. Saturday will also include a parade beginning at approximately 10 a.m., a barbecue, a gunfight at high noon, cloggers, a cake walk, a dance and live music by the Mud Springs Gospel Band, Meg Graf and Coal Bird.

There are no hotels in Shaniko, but RV and tent camping are available and free.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Shaniko Volunteer Fire Department.

Mom’s kitchen floor remedy is embarrassing to daughter Dear Abby: When I went to visit my mother, I found her lying on the kitchen floor. I asked her what she was doing there, and she said the floor feels cold and hard and soothes her back.

Abby, my mother has two very expensive beds in her home, and there is no reason for her to lie on the floor. It could be embarrassing if a friend or neighbor should pop in and find her there. How do I get her off the floor?

— Not Bedridden In Florida Dear Not Bedridden: You should be more concerned with how things are than how they “might” be perceived by others.

If your mother is having back trouble, encourage her to discuss it with her doctor or a chiropractor so she can be examined to make sure nothing is wrong.

But if nothing is, then leave your poor mother alone. She’s in the privacy of her own home, and she is hurting no one.

Dear Abby: We have an ongoing discussion in our office. What color ink is proper for signing birthday cards, sympathy cards, farewell cards, etc?

One co-worker continues to use colors other than blue or black. An older co-worker says it’s inappropriate to use any other colors. I have searched for an answer to this question with no luck. Can you help?

— Seeing Red In Oklahoma Dear Seeing Red: You seem to have a lot of time on your hands in that office. What is being conveyed is more important than how it looks. To sign a sympathy card in bright red might be inappropriate because it is jarring.

For cards celebrating happy occasions, colored ink is acceptable — the exception being fluorescent ink because it is hard to read.

Dear Abby: My aunt and uncle are “large” people. In the past we have had to be extremely cautious about where they sit when they come visit. Our furniture is

DEAR ABBY mostly hand-me-downs and not overly sturdy.

They have, on occasion, broken the furniture because of their weight. We have had to have our kitchen chairs reglued, and once a chair was destroyed beyond repair. They have never ever offered to make amends for the furniture they have damaged.

We are about to order a new dining room set and living room furniture. Naturally, we don’t want these broken. My husband has suggested giving them only sturdy folding chairs to sit on, but I don’t want to embarrass them or make them feel unwelcome.

Is there a way to protect our furniture without hurting or offending my aunt and uncle? We don’t have the money to constantly replace broken items.

— Strictly Anonymous In The Midwest Dear Strictly Anonymous: To drag out folding chairs for your aunt and uncle to use would be glaringly obvious. Consider buying a couple of sturdy chairs (and possibly have them reinforced with metal bracing) for them.

When you know they’re coming, “guide” them toward the chairs you want them to use. If you are questioned about it, explain (kindly) that in the past your chairs have been broken or needed repair — so these were bought with them in mind because they are sturdier and you want them to be comfortable.

If they take offense, then please realize that the problem is theirs. To prepare for guests with “special needs” is an example of good hospitality, not rudeness.

“Mike & Molly” is a comedy from Chuck Lorre (“The Big Bang Theory”) about a working class Chicago couple who find love at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. From left, Mike Biggs (Billy Gardell) and fourth-grade teacher Molly Flynn (Melissa McCarthy) star in the sitcom to premiere this fall on CBS.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

There’s cause for celebration among the ranks of Hollywood starlets. Television, at least, seems to be getting over its fascination with razor-thin actresses. Maybe somebody clued them in to the fact that the majority of women in the United States are a size 12 or that usually it’s healthier to sport a coat of avoirdupois than it is to impale others on protruding bones.

It probably started with ABC’s successful series, “Ugly Betty,” in which the central character had a lot more in common with the girl next door than she had with a centerfold.

Then came Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva,” starring the zaftig Brooke Elliott as a moxie lawyer who becomes the new body of a scrawny model who is killed in an auto accident. The formerly self-obsessed gal has to learn what it’s like to be a “normal” woman who has to make her own way without beauty as an entree.

This summer ABC Family surprised everyone with “Huge,” the story of a fat farm and the six teens who go there to slim down, but really wise up as to what’s really important. Starring Nikki Blonsky (“Hairspray”) and Hayley Hasselhoff (David’s daughter), the show is really about young people learning how to value themselves.

Coming this fall to CBS is “Mike & Molly,” a love-story sitcom featuring a couple of chubs who bond at an Overeaters’ Anonymous meeting.

Starring Billy Gardell and

CBS via Mclatchy-Tribune News Service

Melissa McCarthy, the show arrives from Chuck Lorre (“Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Bang Theory”) and Mark Roberts (Two and a Half Men.”) Lorre admits that it is unusual.

“Television would normally have cast Chris O’Donnell and Courteney Cox as the people who meet at Overeaters Anonymous,” he says. “But in this, we had the courage and, I think, the wisdom to just cast people that are just people ... they’re trying to make their lives better and find someone that they can love and be loved by. It may be odd for television, but I hope it’s reflective of some kind of reality that people will experience.”

That’s not to say that the pressure is off. There are still plenty of “reality” shows where the goal is to shame contestants into losing poundage. We all know the charm of “The Biggest Loser,” “Dance Your Ass Off” and the new “Money Hungry,” premiering on VH1 this week, where people lose girth

while they gain green.

On Sept. 6 Bravo brings “Thintervention with Jackie Warner,” another “boot camp” experience where fatties are bullied into a rigid regime of workouts and rabbit food via drill sergeant Warner, who’s always on the job — even to the point of ambushing her acolytes in their homes.

Many actresses today confess they’ve struggled with the image that has been set by ectomorphs like Audrey Hepburn, Calista Flockhart and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Bianca Kajlich, the curvaceous Jennifer of CBS’ “Rules of Engagement,” says, “I came here and had such a healthy body image. You started to look at the girls in the audition room with you. They’re all very thin. I didn’t

notice at first, but when I wasn’t getting jobs and you think, ‘God, is THAT the issue?’

“I remember I didn’t get the job and the comment that came back from the producer was, ‘We don’t really want a bigger girl.’ I would never think of myself as that. But it is what it is. And compared to some of the actresses here, I am a ‘bigger’ girl. I’m not a bigger girl in the world of sizes but in the world of Hollywood, yeah, I am. The thing I love so much, I’ve had so many people come up to me and say, ‘It’s so wonderful to see a woman’s body on TV.’ And I think that’s a great aspect of our show. I love is that Megan Pryce and I are real women and we’ve got boobs and hips and we love them. I’m an exercise freak.

But I refuse to not eat.”

Shakespeare to ‘Scrubs’ to a stint off Broadway

By Kate Taylor New York Times News Service

What does a guy do when he’s still in his 30s and has already achieved everything he ever dreamed about?

The actor Zach Braff was turning over that question the other day at a diner in Midtown Manhattan. He was discussing the problems facing Harry, his character in “Trust,” a new play by Paul Weitz that is in previews at Second Stage Theater (Aug. 12Sept. 5), but Braff might as easily have been talking about himself.

Last year he wrapped up filming a ninth season as John Dorian, or J.D., the lead character in the television show “Scrubs,” a role that brought him wealth and fame, as well as the chance to write and direct his own movie, “Garden State,” a critically praised romantic comedy. After so much success, where do you go?

“I’ve had this wonderful, blessed, lucky last 10 years, but you kind of go, ‘OK, I’m 35, what else is my life going to be about?’”

Braff said.

That question is paralyzing for the fictional Harry, who has sold his Internet company for $100 million, but is stuck in an unhappy marriage and suffering from ennui. The play starts off with his visit to an S-and-M parlor to try to rouse himself, and having an encounter that offers a potential new path.

And Braff? Is he on the verge of an existential crisis, too?

It wouldn’t seem so. Sitting in the diner wearing a fedora and shorts, along with two days’ worth of beard, he was the picture of confidence as he discussed how “Scrubs” meant that he could do, well, pretty much whatever he wanted for the rest of his life.

“I’m just enjoying this play so much,” he said, adding that he e-mailed Bill Lawrence, the creator of “Scrubs,” to say, “‘I just want to thank you one more time for giving me my dream life.’”

After “Scrubs,” he said: “I put it out to my folks that I want to do challenging things. I don’t care if they pay a dollar, I don’t care if I have to help set the lights.”

The film he just shot, “The High Cost of Living,” which was made with French-Canadian actors and is partly in French, is a perfect example of the kind of work he wants to do, he said. “I like dark little art movies,” he explained. “It’s something that, if I saw it at a festival, I would go, ‘Wow,’ and tell my friends they have to see it.”

In person Braff is ingratiating, if not endearingly hapless, like J.D. in “Scrubs,” or soulfully morose, like Andrew Largeman, his character in “Garden State.” He ventured a few jokes.

Doing a play was at the top of his wish list after “Scrubs” ended, he said. He grew up watching his father do community theater and spent two summers at Stagedoor Manor, the theater camp in the Catskills. From the camp he got an agent, who sent him on auditions throughout high school. He did a pilot when he was 14, and, when he was 18, played Woody Allen and Diane Keaton’s son in “Manhattan Murder Mystery.”

After going to college at

Sara Krulwich / New York Times News Service

Zach Braff follows “Scrubs” with a job Off Broadway, starring in Paul Weitz’s new play, “Trust,” set to open Aug. 12 in New York. Braff is seen at Second Stage Theater in New York on July 23.

Northwestern, where he studied film, he performed in two Shakespeare plays — small roles in “Macbeth” at the Public Theater, directed by George C. Wolfe, and Romeo at a regional theater in Connecticut — before starting “Scrubs” in 2001. (He made a brief return to theater in 2002, when he played Sebastian, alongside Julia Stiles as Viola, in “Twelfth Night” in Shakespeare in the Park.)

“Trust” was appealing, Braff said, because it was “sexy and dark and risque, and first and foremost funny.”

Weitz has had two other plays produced at Second Stage, “Privilege” and “Show People,” but he is better known for his movies, which include “American Pie” and “About a Boy” (both of which he directed with his brother, Chris), and “In Good Company.” In a phone interview, Weitz said that Harry’s problems were inspired by his own experience of finding that success “threw things out of whack in my other relationships.”

Braff continues to push into new territory, though. He is writing another screenplay, and he has also written a play, titled “All New People,” a dark comedy with four characters set during winter in a beach house on Long Beach Island, N.J. He would not reveal the plot, but said that there were “some people that are very interested in it, so hopefully you’ll get to see it.”

As for future stage roles, he said he would love to do Broadway “when the right thing comes up.” He described himself as a fan of musicals and said he was working on his “Trust” co-star, Sutton Foster, to sing a duet with him at the theater one day. “She was Eponine once on Broadway, so I want to sing the Eponine death scene,” he said. While Braff knows that television made him famous, he considers himself a product of the theater, thanks to that job in “Macbeth” at the Public. “I feel like this is where I started,” he said. “I was lucky enough to go work in TV and film, but I hope I’ll be allowed to be one of the people that goes back and forth.”

You might not agree, but you understand finally where others are coming from. If you are single, you will meet many people, as outgoing as you are. Many people could be yours. Choose with care. If you are attached, you discover how much fun the two of you can have if you wave goodbye to being judgmental. GEMINI, though often scattered, helps you focus.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Keep conversations moving, for your sake. You don’t want an active discussion or positive debate to tumble into quicksand. Others also provoke an enormous amount of resourcefulness. Stay on top of your game. Tonight: Make plans for the weekend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 21) HHH Curb a need to have certain events turn out as you might like. You can only control yourself and your responses.

You have many reasons to let go and flow. Others might have a strong reaction to the new you, but there will be changes. Tonight: Indulge; buy that special item.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) HHHH You might not be as clear as you think you are being

or would like to be. Your ability to communicate is inordinately strong. Count on your ability to get through to another party.

Be more upbeat and forthright.

Tonight: Play the night away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take your time handling a personal matter. You could be most uncomfortable with information that comes forward.

Sit back and look for more. It might take a few days, but once you hear more facts, understanding grows. Tonight: Lie back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Look at what you want from various situations, and then you will know what to do.

Others might be acting contrary at times. Logic will prevail. Of course, with the additional plus of your personality, who can say “no”? Tonight: How can anyone say “no” to you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out for advice. They think you have the answers. Though there could be a sharp quality, you are coming from a centered place. Let your feelings about a key matter come out. Others need to know where you are coming from.

Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Take an overview, and you will feel as if no one can stop you. You have an unusually dynamic perspective, which frequently many people seek to tap into. Curb a need to make mountains out of molehills.

Tonight: Follow the music.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A meeting could only become confusing if it isn’t one-onone. Avoid frustration and remain as direct as possible. Listen to news with a grain of salt. You simply might need to step up to the plate. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to defer to others. Confusion marks a conversation; you care what this person thinks.

You could try another way of having this conversation or choose other words. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You discover what is really going on between you and another person. You can find the answer by detaching. You could be delighted by what you discover. Kick back and open up. Tonight: Relax to music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If a partner or close associate seems as if he or she is in a sour mood, distance yourself.

You want to be treated in a certain way and need to let your friends know that. You might be delighted by how quickly the situation could change. Tonight: Fun and games.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH At times it might be best to close down and rethink a situation. Sometimes you feel you are hitting a brick wall.

The smart thing is not to keep running in the same direction.

Solutions and options will appear.

Tonight: Happily heading home. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 From the trailhead, the Obsidian Trail climbs gently but steadily through a dense forest.

After about three miles, you’ll cross over the top of an old lava flow to one of the prettiest places I’ve seen in Oregon. At your feet, the trail winds through the lava rock, beyond which is a luscious green meadow with a babbling brook, all framed above by the Obsidian Cliff. No wonder they have to limit the people coming through here.

Beyond the meadow, you’ll read a junction of two trails. The Obsidian Trail continues straight through the intersection, while the Glacier Way Trail branches out to the left. The sign, however, points to Minnie Scott Springs.

And it was here that Little Brother hatched his evil plot.

My guidebook, “75 Scrambles in Oregon” by Barbara Bond, said to “continue ahead at the junction and sign for Minnie Scott Springs.” To me, that suggested passing this turn-off and continuing straight down the Obsidian Trail. I erroneously thought I would hit the Glacier Way Trail farther down, which would eventually get me to the PCT. So I happily continued ahead, unaware I had missed my turn.

The trail gets its name from obsidian, the black shiny glass that formed when lava cooled quickly, often because it came into contact with water. There are pieces all along the trail but in some parts, the ground is covered in the rock. (Beware the steaming, shiny black “rocks.”

The trail is open to horses as well.) Although it’s tempting, you can’t take any of the pieces with you as souvenirs, according to the rangers at the McKenzie Ranger Station. Leave it for others to enjoy.

As I continued down the trail, it was clear to me that something was wrong. I should have long ago hit the turn-off for Glacier Way Trail. I pulled out my map and compass, and concluded it was best to proceed forward till I hit a hard landmark — a trail intersection, a lake or a campsite.

Within minutes of my navigational regrouping, I came to the PCT and turned north, bringing me almost immediately to Obsidian Falls. I learned later there’s an upper and a lower falls, and I believe I was viewing the upper.

But seeing the falls confirmed I had taken the Obsidian Trail too far, linking up with the PCT a mile and a half farther south than I had intended. The detour would add about three miles to my hike. But it was a beautiful summer day, so I couldn’t

Horseshoeshaped Collier Cone looms large from the top of Little Brother. The cone was responsible for some of the lava flows still visible in the area.

About three miles in, the Obsidian Trail enters one of the most scenic areas of Oregon with lava flows, a green meadow and a babbling brook below the magnificent Obsidian Cliff. complain.

Eventually I needed to leave the trail and head up the western slope toward North and Middle Sisters and Little Brother. I decided to approach from the south side, rather than continuing on the ridge.

I soon found myself struggling up classic Cascade dinner plates — thin flat rocks, that sound just like you’re walking on a service for eight with a gravy boat and ladle. The plates were followed by lingering snow, and then by the small loose rocks known as scree. Little Brother must have delighted as the sand and rocks seeped into my hiking boots.

I worked my way around trees and bushes, over loose rocks and red cinder. And finally Little Brother relented, allowing me to crest the ridge that led to the summit. An hour behind schedule, a little bruised and battered, I finally made my way to the top.

With nary a cloud in the sky, I could see Cascade peaks lining up to the north: Mount Washington, Three Fingered Jack, Mount

Jefferson. I had a close-up view of horseshoe-shaped Collier Cone, and you can’t get nearer to North and Middle Sisters without standing on them.

The standard route up the west ridge of Little Brother isn’t difficult scrambling, but not for casual hikers. The rock is loose and a slip in the wrong spot could prove disastrous. Creating a loop linking the Obsidian Trail, the PCT and Glacier Way Trail (skipping the trip up Little Brother), on the other hand, is a beautiful yet challenging 10mile hike, with probably 1,500 feet of elevation gain. The direct route up Little Brother is about 11 miles round trip, with about 3,200 feet of elevation gain. I figured my scenic route probably totaled about 15 miles.

If you go, however, you may want to give your younger sibling a call first and apologize.

Sorry, little brother.

Dr. Archie Bleyer was preparing for his fourth hip surgery when his doctor asked if he’d like to join a medical research trial.

Getting extra financial help Patients using Part D drug plans get a boost with Social Security program

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

A little-known federal program may lower drug costs for thousands of Medicare beneficiaries in Central M O Oregon.

The program, known as Extra Help, was part of the legislation that created Medicare Part D, which establishes prescription drug insurance through Medicare and went into effect in 2006.

While many Medicare beneficiaries may be eligible — perhaps more than half — just about 15 percent are enrolled.

In large part, it may be that people just don’t know. “It’s on the application, but nobody really looks at that,” said Nicole Chunestudy, an independent

Knowing how important such trials can be, Bleyer didn’t hesitate.

But experts are worried that too few patients follow his example.

Are

clinical worth trials the risk?

Pros and cons Participating in medical research has both benefits and risks that patients must weigh before deciding whether to participate.

B EN EFITS • Gain access to new treatments • Help advance science and help others who have the illness • Earn extra money • Receive free medical care

RISKS

By Markian Hawryluk • The Bulletin Dr. Archie Bleyer knows a thing or two about medical research. Over his long career as a pediatric oncologist, he’s led more than 100 clinical trials involving some 30,000 patients funded with research grants totaling $75 million.

Yet, the last clinical trial he was in- M E D I volved in was a bit of a first for Bleyer. Two years ago, preparing for his fourth hip surgery, his surgeon, Dr. Knute Buehler, asked him if he’d be willing to participate in a clinical research study. Buehler was investigating the use of a mechanical compression device that could reduce the risk of deadly blood clots.

Bleyer was faced with the choice he had asked thousands of patients and their families to make: stick with the standard, proven therapy or take a gamble on a research study that could help to advance medicine.

If he declined, he would receive the same precaution that most patients get, twice-daily injec-

tions of blood-thinning medication to prevent clots. But if he chose to enroll in the clinical trial he’d be randomly assigned either to receive blood thinners or to use the new device. He had no way of knowing which group he would be C I N E in, or if the device being tested would even work as intended. If the device failed altogether, his risk of blood clots after a total hip replacement could be as high as 50 percent.

“I though it was worth the risk,” he said. “I really didn’t think I was at high risk (for a blood clot) because I was healthy and not likely to develop that problem. Furthermore, I had two of these operations before with the standard therapy. And third, I was under good care. If the device failed me, I could have had good care, immediate attention within minutes. Those were all reasonable risks.”

agent at the Insurance Center in Bend who has been trying to get the word out about the program. “A lot of people who are really struggling, they N E Y qualify.”

The Extra Help program helps pay premiums and co-pays incurred as part of the Medicare Part D plan.

“Original Medicare didn’t cover prescriptions at all,” said Michael Webb, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration, which determines eligibility for Extra Help and enrolls people in the program. “Once Part D was enacted there were a lot of premiums. A lot of people couldn’t afford those premiums, so Extra Help came about because of that.”

CHICAGO — The evening’s menu featured grass-fed, antibiotic-free beef over pasta, fresh seasonal vegetables and fresh organic peaches — items right at home in the city’s finest restaurants.

But instead, the dishes were prepared for visitors, staff and bed-bound patients at Swedish Covenant Hospital.

The Chicago-area hospital is one of 300 across the nation that have pledged to improve the quality and sustainability of the food they serve, not just for the health of their patients but, they say, the health of the environment and the U.S. population.

For many of these institutions, the initiative includes buying antibiotic-free meats. Administrators say they hope increased demand for those products will reduce the use of antibiotics to treat cattle and other animals, which scientists believe helps pathogens become more resistant to drugs.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that antibiotic-resistant infections kill 60,000 Americans a year.

Although the U.S. doesn’t keep

One of the dinner selections at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago is penne pasta with tall grass beef that contains no hormones or antibiotics, with organic zucchini and carrots. national records on antibiotic use in animals, the Pew Charitable Trusts estimate that up to 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the U.S. are administered to healthy animals to speed growth and compensate for crowded living conditions. Some of these drugs, such as penicillin and tetracycline, are also used to treat sick people.

Take a workout outdoors during summer

LEARNING THE ROPES

Go Ape’s treetop obstacle course draws adventurous spirits looking for an unusual workout to Rock Creek Regional Park near Rockville, Md. Rope courses have recently become an option for anyone seeking a new exercise experience.

Rope courses are gaining ground as a mental and physical exercise

By Vicky Hallett The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — You might say Adan Caraballo is an adrenaline junkie. Actually, you definitely would.

“I’m always hang-gliding, skydiving and jet-skiing,” says the 49year-old graphic designer, whose recent vacations have taken him bungee-jumping and to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. So how does he keep his body primed for such thrills? By traversing wobbly logs and pulling himself up cargo nets every other weekend.

Caraballo holds a season pass at Terrapin Adventures, an outdoor amusement park that opened in 2009 in the appropriately named town of Savage in suburban Howard County. It has four main attractions: a 330-foot zip line, a giant swing that soars nearly 40 feet in the air, a 43-foot-high climbing tower and, most distinctively, a three-story ropes course.

Once limited to corporate and camper bonding, ropes courses have recently become a walk-infriendly option for anyone seeking a heightened exercise experience. Go Ape, which has 26 British locations, opened its first U.S. course in Rock Creek Regional Park near suburban Rockville, Md., in May. Visitors cross a series of precarious bridges — slender planks, unsteady tightropes, platforms punctuated with gaping holes that

“(A rope course) encourages (participants) to do something more physical.”

— Dan D’Augustino, Go Ape reveal the ground far below — to ascend to the top level of a course.

Although you must be reasonably active to be able to do such things, the idea is that the ropes courses are accessible to almost anyone who’s willing to cling and scamper. As long as you’re old enough and tall enough and can handle light exertion, you’ll survive.

That’s because for any of these diversions, you’re in a harness that’s clipped into safety lines at all times. “People can only fall so far,” says Matt Markoff, a director at Calleva in Poolesville, Md., which has run ropes courses for groups for more than a decade.

Matt Baker, whose title at Terrapin Adventures is chief adventure officer, says the park has hosted birthday parties for 8year-olds and 60-year-olds alike.

A 90-year-old recently took on the treetop thrills at Go Ape. Caraballo and other advanced adventurers ignore handholds and attempt challenges backward, sideways, on one leg or

with their eyes closed, turning the outing into a serious sweat fest for even the fittest visitors.

Caraballo considers the 1½ to 2 hours he spends each time at Terrapin Adventures a critical part of his exercise routine.

Its woodsy location “feels better than being in a gym,” he says.

Pulling himself up each level of the ropes course works his upper body; staying steady while he crosses shaky obstacles keeps his core strength in check; and jumping between platforms boosts his power. Plus, it trains his brain to be ready for just about anything.

“You lose fear and develop confidence,” he says.

For many visitors, it’s the mental tests that prove more daunting than the physical ones.

“We’ve had people freeze on the zip line platform for 30 minutes,” says Baker, who prides himself and his staff on being able to talk people through their fears and help them accomplish what they never thought was possible.

Once you have leapt into midair to grab a rope, swung into a net and made it across a series of loops that may force you into the splits, you’re more likely to crave more outdoor activities, says Go Ape’s Dan D’Augustino. “A lot of people say, ‘I liked the harness and the carabiners. Now I want to try rock climbing.’ It encourages them to do something more physical,” he adds.

When the weather turns warm, ditch the gym and take the workout outside. Parks, beaches, hiking trails and even urban landscapes offer great opportunities to tax the cardiovascular system and strengthen muscles.

Here are some tips for making the most out of training outdoors: At the beach: Use the sand.

Wet or dry, it adds resistance when you’re running, walking or otherwise exercising, making the cardiovascular system work harder. And of course, you could always go for a swim.

In the park: Act like a kid.

Many parks and beaches have basic jungle gym equipment such as rings, bars and low balance beams. These can be used for pull-ups, push-ups and crunches. You can also take your yoga or Pilates mat workout outside and try poses and exercises on the sand or grass.

On the trail: Don’t just walk. Instead of striding up a hill, try walking lunges or traveling squats — or just hop or skip up the incline. Use trees for incline push-ups, and larger boulders can be used for decline push-ups or triceps dips.

In a concrete jungle: Take the stairs. They can provide a great workout — take them two at a time, go up and down sideways, or hop from one step to the next for a plyometric workout. Jump over low barriers such as parking lot wheel blocks. Use low walls and curbs for incline pushups or step-ups.

IN MOTION New study challenges notion that toning shoes are beneficial Toning shoes that use an unstable base to increase the number of calories burned have become all the rage. But a recent evaluation of the shoes suggest the claims may be no more than marketing hype. The American Council on Exercise recently commissioned researchers from the University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse, to test whether the shoes activated muscles more than normal running shoes and whether that led to an increase in the number of calories burned.

Researchers led by Dr. John Porcari enlisted 12 women to test the shoes walking on a treadmill at speeds of 3 to 3.5 mph but found no differences in oxygen consumption, heart rate, perceived exertion or calories burned among those wearing the toning shoes, compared with regular running shoes. Tests showed that none of the leg muscles worked any harder with the toning shoes either.

“Our finding demonstrates that toning shoes are not the magic solution consumers were hoping they would be, and simply do not offer any benefit that people cannot reap through walking, running or exercising in traditional athletic shoes,” the researchers wrote.

Manufacturers of toning shoes have posted the results of their own studies on their websites.

Ske chers, for example, reports that a test involving 80 men and women over an eight-week

Every Friday

period showed their ShapeUps toning shoes resulted in an average weight loss of 2.78 pounds, versus 0.30 pounds for a running shoe group, and greater fat loss, muscle improvement and lower back endurance.

Dr. Cedric Bryant, the council’s chief science officer, cautioned against putting too much weight on the manufacturers’ studies.

“Depending on how they conduct the study, they can prove anything they want to prove,” he said.

But Bryant acknowledged the shoes might have at least one positive effect: motivation.

“If these shoes are serving as a motivator for individuals to walk or get moving more often, that is a good thing, even if they don’t produce the dramatic toning and calorie-burning results people think they are getting,” he said.

“It appears consumers can more economically achieve the same results wearing normal running shoes.”

The toning shoes list for between $100 and $245, depending on the make and model, which put them in the same price range as a high-quality pair of running shoes. Shoes sufficient for walking can be had for much less.

M Clinical trials Continued from F1 While they say doctors make the worst patients, it may well be that researchers make the best research subjects. Sure, he wanted to ensure that his participation would mean something. But he clearly understood the critical nature of having patients volunteer for medical research.

“I wanted to be sure it was of value, based on good science,” Bleyer said. “After doing that, I was ready to go.”

Few patients, however, face the decision of participating in medical research with as much insight into the process as Bleyer. And that has left medical researchers struggling to find enough subjects to conduct their research.

Public opinion and mass media have largely couched medical research as an incredibly risky endeavor, fueled by self-interest and profit, appropriate only for desperate patients with no other recourse. As a result, less than 15 percent of the American public has been part of a medical research study. But among those who do, their experiences are almost always positive. Surveys of research participants show that 95 percent would join a study again.

Reducing risk Bleyer’s case is a good example of why. By participating in the research study he had access to better care and treatment than he would have had under the standard protocol.

The most common and the most serious risk associated with hip surgery is a blood clot forming in the legs. If the clot breaks free, it can travel to the lungs and cause a blockage, known as pulmonary embolism. Each year, thousands of patients nationwide die from such post-surgery clots.

Doctors commonly prescribe Lovonox, an injectable blood thinner that is very effective at keeping clots from forming. But Lovonox has a major drawback that must be carefully managed. By limiting the ability of the blood to clot, the drug increases the risk of excessive bleeding after the surgery. That could require another hospitalization or even a blood transfusion.

Compression devices, which inflate sleeves worn on the legs, have been used for years as an alternative to Lovonox. But the compression devices are big and bulky and keep patients from being able to walk comfortably. As a result, patients either didn’t walk much, increasing the risk of clots, or took off the sleeves altogether.

Buehler was testing a new device, made by a small Israeli medical device company. The electronic components used were much smaller than in previous compression devices, making it a lot easier for patients to get around while wearing it. And the device synchronized compression with breathing.

“It pumps on your leg when the resistance is lowest, so you get a bigger flow of blood with each pump,” Buehler said. “And lack of flow is what causes blood clots.”

The study, which was conducted at nine participating sites throughout the country, enrolled 410 patients, including Bleyer.

Eleven patients experienced bleeding problems after the surgery. But all 11 were in the group receiving blood thinners. The device proved to be equally effective at preventing blood clots. In both groups about 5 percent of patients developed clots.

“The real importance of this is that we saw the same ability to prevent the blood clots without having any of the side effects with this device,” Buehler said.

“That’s really the most important finding.”

The study was published in the March issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, one of the leading orthopedic medical journals, and soon after almost all major insurance companies approved the device for their patients.

Many believe such devices may now become the standard for all types of surgery, but it may take a while for the company to set up an adequate distribution system and for more insurers to cover the cost.

(Buehler said the cost of the device is two-thirds that of prescribing Lovonox and has the potential to be even more cost-effective by preventing re-hospitalizations.)

But Bleyer, who was randomly assigned to the device group, was able to benefit from it sooner than

the ground because they can’t enroll enough patients.

“It’s very hard to learn about clinical research, and in fact, the only patients who take the time to learn about clinical research are those who are really in the throes of trying to find treatment alternatives,” Getz said. “And suddenly, you don’t have a lot of time. When people are motivated to learn about clinical research, there’s such a small window.

We’d like the public to educate themselves before they are in the throes of that incredibly confusing and somewhat scary mindset when you’re suddenly scrambling to find a treatment alternative.”

Most people who do find their way to clinical trials, find them on their own. Fewer than 20 percent of research participants are first referred to or recruited into studies by doctors themselves.

“Usually the patient or a family member has to do a lot of the searching themselves, and it’s usually after they’ve started down the path where they’ve tried a lot of alternatives and nothing seems to be working,” Getz said. “And that has fed the public’s perception that the only people who get involved in clinical research are the desperate, those who are willing to gamble with their lives. That’s really an erroneous perception.”

Getz’s center is using the approach taken by organ donation advocates, trying to get people to think about the issue well before they come face to face with having to make a decision. The center has launched a public education campaign, called Medical Heroes, that runs ad campaigns in major cities promoting participation in medical research. The advocates documented a 38 percent increase in recruitment rates in cities where the ads ran.

Physician reluctance Bleyer doesn’t necessarily see public opinion as the biggest problem.

“It’s the doc,” he said. “In general, doctors do not want to put their patients on clinical trials because it’s too much work, it’s time consuming and frequently requires referring the patient somewhere else.”

The payment system also discourages doctors from doing so, he said. Referring a patient to a clinical trial means the doctor won’t get paid for performing a procedure or treatment. It’s often easier in health systems that employ physicians because their income isn’t directly dependent on how many patients they treat.

Only about half of doctors in the U.S. refer patients to clinical trials and even those doctors who do average but one patient referral per year.

Additionally, doctors seem illequipped to handle patient concerns about medical research.

A survey of oncologists and patients, conducted by the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, found that patients and doctors have vastly different notions of what keeps patients from signing up.

Patients ranked the potential of side effects as the biggest barrier to participation, while doctors ranked that as the least significant barrier. Doctors believed lack of trust in the medical establishment and a lack of understanding of clinical trials were key factors, while patients ranked those two factors as least important.

“The majority of both patients and doctors strongly agreed that clinical trials are important to improving cancer treatment,” said Dr. Neal Meropol, the lead author of the study. “However, whereas 79 percent of oncologists strongly agreed that patients benefit from participating, only 57 percent of the patients felt strongly that they would benefit.”

Many experts are now concerned the pace of medical research is being hampered by the reluctance of patients to agree to be in research studies.

Yet, Buehler said he had little difficulty recruiting patients for his study and the number of patients was limited only by the funding available.

“People like to give back,” he said. “When they’re having a big procedure like a hip replacement, they realize that other people participated in research to get the devices and the procedure to the level that it is today and its level of sophistication. So I think people like to give back.”

F A C T OR FICTION? THE CLAIM:

Birth control pills cause weight gain.

Fiction. “Studies show that’s not the case,” said Dr. Alison Lynch-Miller, a gynecologist at All Women’s Care in Bend. Many women think their pills cause weight gain, said Lynch-Miller, because they gain weight when they start taking them. She said the weight gain is probably entirely separate from the new form of birth control. “People tend to have a very difficult time keeping weight off, and women are very often taking birth control pills, and people link them in minds.”

Weight gain in women is, instead, likely due to the same lifestyle factors you’ve heard before: too much food, not enough exercise or some combination of the two.

The bottom line is, ladies, you can’t scapegoat your birth control pills.

AT YOUR NEXT FAMILY REUNION ...

Talk about your health

By Joey Holleman McClatchy-Tribune News Service

As families gather for reunions this summer and fall, they should consider sharing something more important than Aunt Martha’s macaroni salad recipe.

It’s important to know your family medical history, and large family gatherings are the best place to gather the details, according to health officials.

“Knowing your family medical history can save your life,” said Karen Brooks, a genetic counselor and assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

There’s a reason doctors always ask about your family’s health history. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease and many other disorders have genetic factors passed down through the generations. Knowing if your family has a history for any of these conditions allows you and your physician to take steps to prevent you from becoming part of an unwanted family tradition.

A survey cited by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services noted that 96 percent of Americans believe knowing their family health history is important, but less than a third of Americans have gathered to discuss and write down those histories.

Reunions are a great place to start because family elders have a depth of knowledge about medical problems.

Brooks suggests checking in with family members before a reunion to let them know you will be asking medical history questions. That way they can do a little research to jog their memories.

Here are some other tips: • Start with the biggies — major birth defects, cancer, stroke and cardiovascular problems. Discussion of disorders such as mental illness and learning disabilities might be a little touchier, but you should try to delve into those matters, too.

Web tool My Family Health Portrait is an online tool for compiling health histories. Go to familyhistory. hhs.gov after you’ve gathered the health information from family members.

• Look at both sides of your family. If your reunion is almost exclusively members of your mother’s side of the family, try to do the same thing at the next get-together of the folks in your father’s family. Most diseases can be inherited from either side.

• Start with your immediate family and try to get at least three generations of information. Then build from that nucleus, creating a medical family tree.

• Share the information once it’s compiled. If someone in your family isn’t interested, they can throw it away. It might be more detailed information that a doctor needs, but too much information is better than too little.

• Don’t stop after the initial information is compiled. Family medical histories, like families, grow through the years.

One instance of a disease might not mean much. Health officials go by the 3-2-1 rule. It’s worth special attention if three relatives on the same side of the family have had the same disorder, at least two of those are closely related (sibling, parent, child) or at least one was affected at a young age (before 50 for most cancers).

“Yes to all three definitely warrants mentioning your family history to your health care provider,” Brooks said.

The health community began pushing for better family histories about a decade ago. With technological changes in recent years, experts have begun suggesting an alternative to the family reunion — social networking communities such as Facebook.

Another online related tool — My Family Health Portrait — can be found on the Health and Human Services site at familyhistory.hhs.gov.

M Extra Continued from F1

Eligibility Eligibility for Extra Help is determined by a person’s income and assets.

For this year, a single person who makes less than $1,219 per month and has assets totalling $8,100 or less or a married couple that brings in less than $1,640 per month with assets of $12,910 or less, is likely eligible for the full subsidy.

Singles with slightly higher income, up to $1,354 per month with assets of $12,510 or less, and couples with incomes of less than $1,822 per month and assets of $25,010 are eligible for a partial subsidy.

These levels encompass more people than you might think, said Chunestudy. “It’s a lower income program but it’s not as low as state requirements,” for programs such as Medicaid, she said.

The average Social Security payment, what many seniors rely on for all or most of their income, is about $1,100 per month in Oregon, according to the Social Security Administration. That payment could put someone in the range of eligibility.

The asset test, too, excludes many of the large assets that would otherwise push someone over the limit. A house, cars and personal property all do not count. Thanks to a change in the law this year, life insurance policies and help with household expenses from other people are also not counted as assets for the program.

Benefits Many of Chunestudy’s clients who could not previously afford to enroll in a Part D program are now able to do so because of the premium subsidy, she said.

Extra Help pays all of the monthly premiums under Part D for those with the full subsidy, and premiums on a sliding scale for those with a partial subsidy.

Those with the full subsidy pay $2.50 for generic drugs and $6.30 for brand name medications.

Those on the partial subsidy pay reduced prices for drugs, though on a more complicated schedule than those with the full subsidy.

It works with any regular Part D plan, Chunestudy said, though people who have not previously had a Part D plan need to be careful. “If you don’t choose your own plan, they will choose it for you,” she said. “You need to choose.”

Part D plans are run by private insurance companies and, like commercial insurance, have different prices and cover different drugs. Chunestudy said it’s very important for Medicare benefi-

What makes an ACL injury more likely?

By Jeannine Stein Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are often linked to how an athlete moves. Kicking, pivoting and landing can be important factors in tearing or rupturing this knee ligament that helps keep the joint stable. But gender and which leg sustains the injury may be key as well, according to a new study.

Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation looked at ACL injuries in dominant versus supporting legs among 93 athletes, 41 male and 52 female.

Among all athletes, contact and noncontact injuries were evenly distributed between left and right legs. The vast majority of players (84) preferred kicking with their right legs, while nine kicked with the left. A little more than half of the injuries occurred in the dominant leg. However, when broken down by gender, the numbers changed drastically. Injuries on the dominant leg occurred in 74 percent of males, but only 32.3 percent of females. The study appears in the August issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Revenue from Medicare patients Revenue from Medicare patients Many physicians rely on Medicare for a substantial portion of their income.

These doctors are less likely to turn away new Medicare patients even if, as often happens, Medicare reimburses them at lower rates than private insurance.

Many, if not most, people eligible for Medicare in Oregon may also be eligible for financial assistance from Social Security with their prescriptions. Few are enrolled.

ciaries to make sure that the plan they choose covers the prescriptions they take.

Chunestudy does help seniors enroll in the Extra Help plan and in Part D. Though the help is free for clients, Chunestudy makes about $10, she said, for every person she enrolls in Part D and does not get paid for enrolling people in Extra Help.

But, she said, the online application is easy and can be done quickly. For a lot of her clients, she said, it’s been a boon.

“A lot of them, their biggest concern is their prescription drugs. They can’t pay for them,” she said. “I found that there’s this Social Security program out there that’s great.”

The 411 on phone therapy

By Jessie Schiewe Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The therapist-patient relationship is crucial to people battling depression, addiction, weight gain and diabetes. But that relationship might not always have to be in person to be effective.

Over the last decade, numerous hospitals and clinics have begun experimenting with telephone-based care to treat a litany of health problems — with surprising success. Now a new study has found that it can even ease the pain and depression of cancer patients.

“Telecare provides additional support to people and can help them feel included and part of something,” said Dr. Cynthia Lee Dennis, an associate professor of nursing at the University of Toronto who has studied the effect of telephone counseling in women with postpartum depression.

Such care can also be more convenient than actually going to a therapist’s office because the phone call can be scheduled for a time and place that’s convenient for the patient.

A study published in the July 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that cancer patients who talked regularly with a nurse over the phone and answered automated voicerecorded surveys about their symptoms experienced greater improvements in their pain and depression levels than patients who did not receive this additional care.

“Pain and depression are two of the most common symptoms in cancer patients, besides fatigue,” said Dr. Kurt Kroenke,

lead author of the study and professor of medicine at Indiana University. “However, in a busy clinical setting, discussing issues like symptoms might be a secondary part of the visit, so it is often unmentioned and untreated.”

At the beginning of the 405person study, 131 patients had depression (32 percent), 96 had cancer-related pain (24 percent) and 178 had both depression and pain (44 percent).

All patients were being treated for their cancer, but one group was given tele-care that focused on pain and depression; the other group received no such treatment. Significantly greater improvements were seen in the pain and depression levels of the tele-care patients by the end of the study, with 57 percent of patients in the tele-care group reporting reduced levels of pain, compared with 43 percent of the usual-care patients.

Similar improvements were seen in the patients’ levels of depression. At the end of the 12-month study, the tele-care management group had less severe depressive symptoms at 12 months. Further, only 21 percent had major depression at the study’s end, compared with 35 percent of the usualcare group.

Some therapists, however, warn against relying too heavily on telephone-based care as an alternative to live therapy sessions. Without non-verbal clues, such as facial expressions or fidgeting, a therapist can have trouble reading patients’ emotions and might be more likely to misunderstand their needs and symptoms.

V ITA MINS TAKE YOUR VITAMINS: A regular look at the sources and benefits of vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin B7 (biotin) Admit it. You’ve never heard of biotin. But just try to live without this watersoluble B vitamin. Also known as B7, biotin is a vitamin needed by all living organisms, but it’s only produced by bacteria, yeasts, molds, algae and some plants. Fortunately, most Americans get plenty of biotin in their diet and can recycle much of the biotin in their bodies.

Researchers have found biotin deficiencies in people who have been fed intravenously for long periods of time or who regularly consumed raw egg whites. Egg yolks are rich in biotin, but egg whites contain avidin, a protein that binds to biotin and prevents its absorption. Cooking the egg white, however, deactivates the avidin.

Biotin is needed for certain enzymes in the body to work properly, and without it individuals can experience hair loss and a scaly red rash around their eyes, nose, mouth and genital area. People with liver problems might have trouble processing biotin, and pregnancy appears to increase biotin requirements to support cell division in the fetus.

Lacking the scientific evidence to establish a recommended daily amount, the Institute of Medicine set an adequate intake level for biotin, assuming that current average levels are sufficient.

— Markian Hawryluk, The Bulletin Daily adequate intake, in micrograms: Adults (19+): 30 mcg Breast-feeding women: 35 mcg Children (0-6 months): 5 mcg Children (7-12 months): 6 mcg Children (1-3 years): 8 mcg Children (4-8 years): 12 mcg Children (9-13 years): 20 mcg Teens (14-18 years): 25 mcg Good sources: Bread (whole-wheat, 1 slice): 0.02–6 mcg Egg (cooked, 1 large): 13-25 mcg Cheese (cheddar, 1 ounce): 0.4–2 mcg Liver (cooked, 3 ounces): 27–35 mcg Pork (cooked, 3 ounces): 2–4 mcg Salmon (cooked, 3 ounces): 4–5 mcg Avocado (one whole): 2–6 mcg Source: Linus Pauling Institute

One large egg contains up to 25 micrograms of biotin, nearly a day’s worth for an adult. Raw egg white has a protein that inhibits the absorption of the vitamin, but cooking the egg white inactivates the protein.

Co n tin ued from F1 Recently, as a congressional panel debated the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in agriculture, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., presented a petition organized by the nonprofit coalition Health Care Without Harm and signed by more than 1,000 health care professionals supporting the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act. Introduced by Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., it would phase out the nontherapeutic use in animals of seven types of medically important antibiotics.

Last month the Food and Drug Administration also released draft guidelines for the “judicious use” of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals. The CDC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture support the FDA’s guidance, which states that “using medically important antimicrobial drugs for production or growth enhancing purposes … in food-producing animals is not in the interest of protecting and promoting the public health.”

Meat producers respond that there is not enough evidence to definitively link human antibacterial-resistant infection to animal use.

“The CDC, FDA and USDA all say that they believe there is a link, but we don’t know,” said Dave Warner, spokesman for the National Pork Producers Council. “They believe it, so they are going to ban these products because of a belief and not a scientific fact?”

Hospital administrators who have signed on to buy antibiotic-free meat say they hope to use their purchasing power to discourage the use of antibiotics in agriculture.

According to the Association for Healthcare Foodservice, the institutions spend about $9.6 billion on food and drink a year.

Officials say the pledge represents a commitment to improve the quality of the food in the hospitals, and that St. Charles’ nutritional staff are now working toward developing new standards for the hospitals’ foods. The hospitals have already eliminated all trans fats from their menus, and purchase only milk that is free of bovine growth hormone.

The hospitals have not yet moved fully to antibiotic-free meat, but officials said they are working on a contract to get about 20 percent of their beef next year from a local ranch that does not use growth hormones or antibiotics.

— Markian Hawryluk, The Bulletin Covenant’s director of nutrition, Maria Simmons, started serving grass-fed antibiotic and hormone-free Tallgrass beef nearly five years ago. While the hospital’s purchases of other sustain-

From animals to humans Answers to some common questions on antibiotic resistance and agriculture from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Q: Why are bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics?

Antibiotics kill or inhibit the growth of susceptible bacteria. Sometimes one of the bacteria survives because it has the ability to neutralize or evade the effect of the antibiotic; that one bacteria can then multiply and replace all the bacteria that were killed off. Exposure to antibiotics therefore provides selective pressure, which makes the surviving bacteria more likely to be resistant.

Q: How does antibiotic use in animals differ from use in humans?

In humans, antibiotics are usually used to treat sick individuals. Sick animals are sometimes treated individually, but often whole flocks or herds of animals are treated at once, including animals that are not ill. In humans, antibiotics are not given to promote growth, yet this is a major reason for using antibiotics in animals.

Q: Which antibiotics used in food-producing animals are related to antibiotics used in humans?

The majority of antibiotics used in food animals belong to classes of antibiotics which are also used to treat human illness; these include tetracyclines, sulfonamides, penicillins, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, chloramphenicols, and streptogramins. Bacteria resistant to antibiotics used in animals will also be resistant to similar antibiotics used in humans. When an ill person is treated with an antibiotic to which the bacteria is resistant, the antibiotic will not help and may even make the illness worse.

able foods have fluctuated with budgets and availability, this item has been a constant.

Simmons said the hospital uses the beef in one menu item a day served to patients and in the cafeteria, including “meat sauces, Salisbury steaks, meatloaf, beef stew and in our Korean seaweed soup.”

Diane Imrie, director of nutrition services at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Vermont, also started serving antibioticfree beef at the hospital in recent years as part of her plan to switch to local, seasonal, sustainable food.

“When we started a sustainability council at the hospital a few years ago, antibiotic reduction was one of the first things on my list,” she said. “I think it has the most impact on farming, the environment and public health.”

Imrie estimated that her food costs rose about $67,000 last year when she switched to antibioticfree chicken from conventional.

“But that’s also about the same cost as treating a single MRSA infection,” she said, referring to

drug-resistant staphylococcus bacteria.

Carolyn Lammersfeld, national director of nutrition at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, oversees a menu full of organic, antibiotic-free chicken, beef and dairy at the organization’s facilities across the country.

Using the ingredients is primarily a response to patient demand, Lammersfeld said, but the centers are also “watching the controversy over the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics and their potential to cause resistant strains of bacteria.”

The issue is of particular concern for cancer patients, who have compromised immune systems, she noted. “Many also might already be taking antibiotics, so they don’t want additional ones in food if they can avoid it,” Lammersfeld said.
