Gang violence, grief

Governor’s ‘reset cabinet’ aims to trim, keep schools educating

On the Warm Springs Reservation, the first threatens the very culture; the second can make each day a struggle to understand

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

School administrators know they’re in a tough position.

With budgets slashed over the past several years, it’s no longer business as usual. To offer a comprehensive education, as well as the range of supplemental programs many districts now operate, officials must either find new money or make changes.

Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s “reset cabinet” has some ideas to trim budgets and improve students’ educations. Area officials believe the reset recommendations, if mandated by the Oregon Legislature, could free school districts to do what they’re supposed to do: educate kids.

Concerned about the current economic crisis facing Oregon, the governor brought together a nineperson cabinet which in June released an 86-page report detailing ways it believes Oregon could save money, trim government and cut spending. The report features sections on each of the main government functions, from public safety and human services to labor costs and education.

For K-12 education, the reset recommendations focus on three areas: consolidating and reorganizing education service districts, increasing virtual education for students around the state, and adding dual-credit options to allow students to get a head start on their college educations. The recommendations do not give precise estimates on how much the changes might save the state.

See Schools / A7

Resetting schools Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s reset cabinet is focusing on the following areas: • Consolidating education service districts: The cabinet recommends Oregon’s 20 education service districts develop a shared-services model with their participating districts, requiring the state to create a list of the services the ESDs must provide to their districts, and which their districts must share.

• Virtual education: The reset cabinet calls for a statewide public virtual education option that districts must allow students to access if they don’t already have their own.

• Dual credits: The cabinet recommends expanded dual-credit options for high school students, which allow them to earn high school and college credits at the same time.

Patrick Red Dog and Minnie Wallulatum sit on their back step Friday evening in Warm Springs and talk about their son Timothy Red Dog, 19, who was fatally shot in May. Wallulatum finds it difficult to speak about her son, but she attended a recent community forum to address violence on the reservation. “If it takes this to pull us together, it’s better late than never,” she said.

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

WARM SPRINGS — he night before 19-year-old Timothy Red Dog was fatally shot, he went on a drive with his father. The two drove without a destination.

Timothy Red Dog talked, his father listened. They passed a bus; inside was the young man’s girlfriend, the mother of his 8-month-old baby. She waved. He didn’t see her.

As they passed through the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, Timothy Red Dog told his father he was trying to change. He wanted to drink and party less. He wanted to get along

T

better with his brother and sisters. He wanted to teach his infant son the traditional ways.

“It was weird. There was a finality to what he was talking about,” said his father, Patrick Red Dog. “He was talking to get a lot of things off his chest. Like, intuition, like he knew he wasn’t going to be here.”

At about 3:45 a.m. on May 30, in Warm Springs, Timothy Red Dog was shot with a hunting rifle. One shot, through the chest.

The case is still under investigation, so officials can’t say much. Patrick Red Dog doesn’t know if his son happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or what led to his death.

But he knows one thing. His son was wearing red, symbolizing he belonged to the Bloods. The

person with the gun was wearing blue.

In this area, gang problems aren’t unique to the reservation. Nor are they a new phenomenon. This summer, though, they have garnered more publicity. The reservation was dealt a blow with Timothy Red Dog’s death. Also this year, two men, Aldo Inez Antunez and Waylon Weaselhead, both with alleged gang ties, were arrested on suspicion of shooting at police officers in both Madras and Warm Springs.

Antunez was wounded in a shootout with police before his arrest in late July.

The drive-by shootings and murders are not only impacting tribal members’ quality of life but threatening their traditions and culture.

BETHESDA, Md. — The scene was a kind of science court. On trial was the question “Can anything — running on a treadmill, eating more spinach, learning Arabic — prevent Alzheimer’s disease or delay its progression?”

To try to answer that question, the National Institutes of Health sponsored the court, appointing a jury of 15 medical scientists with no vested interests in Alzheimer’s research. They would hear the evidence and reach a judgment on what the data showed.

For a day and a half last spring, researchers presented their cases, describing studies and explaining what they had hoped to show.

ANALYSIS

Tens of thousands hear call to ‘restore America’

For Republicans, could it be 1980 all over again?

Civil rights activists say King legacy hijacked, conduct own rally nearby

By Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The incumbent senator from Alaska is taken by surprise in a primary. A new conservative movement energizes Republicans in a furious response to a Democratic White House. Little-known insurgent candidates prepare to storm the Senate.

It is starting to feel like 1980.

While the 1994 Republican takeover of the House is regularly explored for insight into what might happen this polarized election year, parallels are emerging between the watershed Senate election of three decades ago and the campaign of 2010 as another conservative rebellion threatens to reshape the Senate.

In 1980, shocked Senate Democrats lost 12 seats in a rout that ended the congressional careers of such notable lawmakers as George McGovern of South Dakota, Birch Bayh of Indiana, Frank Church of Idaho, Warren Magnuson of Washington and Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin.

By Philip Elliott and Nafeesa Syeed The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message. Civil rights leaders who accused the group of hijacking King’s legacy held their own rally and march.

While Beck billed his event as nonpolitical, conservative activists said their show of strength was a clear sign that they can swing elections because much of the country is angry with what many voters call an out-of-touch Washington.

Palin told the tens of thousands who stretched from the marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the grass of the Washington Monument that calls to transform the country weren’t enough. “We must restore America and restore her honor,” said the former Alaska governor, echoing the name of the rally, “Restoring Honor.”

Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008 and a potential White House contender in 2012, and Beck repeatedly cited King and made references to the Founding Fathers. Beck put a heavy religious cast on nearly all his remarks, sounding at times like an evangelical preacher.

“Something beyond imagination is happening,” he said.

“America today begins to turn back to God.” Beck exhorted the crowd to “recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king.

He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us.” He asked his audience to pray more.

“I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see,” he said.

ELECTION

‘Accidental senators’ Swept into office by the landslide victory of Ronald Reagan were a number of conservatives, including Jeremiah Denton Jr. of Alabama, Mack Mattingly of Georgia, Paula Hawkins of Florida, Steve Symms of Idaho and several others whose notion of the role of government and Congress was markedly different from that of those they succeeded.

They were labeled the “accidental senators,” candidates who won only by virtue of an extraordinary political environment. The culture of the Senate — and party control — changed overnight.

“It was a very weird time,” recalled Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., who narrowly won a second term that year. “A lot of those people had no idea what they were doing.”

While party strategists and analysts say Republicans still face a steep climb to gain the 10 seats needed to flip control of the Senate, polls and circumstances in contests around the country suggest it is not inconceivable.

If they do, it is a certainty that the new membership of the Senate would include sharply conservative Republicans with a deep skepticism of government and a determination to change Washington.

The Senate of 2011 could well be the province of Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah, Sharron Angle of Nevada, Ken Buck of Colorado and perhaps Joe Miller of Alaska, who challenged Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Tuesday’s primary and is in the lead as absentee ballots are counted.

Given the prospect of a marked ideological shift in the Senate, some are already asking what the institution would be like upon the arrival of a cadre of fire-breathing conservatives.

Democrats on Friday tried to stoke anxiety about the potential victory of conservative Senate contenders with a new Internet video that highlighted the philosophical stances of candidates like Angle, Paul and Buck. It ends with this message: “Imagine, these people could represent you.”

Jacquelyn Martin / The Associated Press

Thousands attend the “Restoring Honor” rally, organized by Glenn Beck, Saturday in Washington, seen from the top of the Washington Monument. In the foreground is the National World War II Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is at the top.

Counter rally A group of civil rights activists organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton held a counter rally at a high school, then embarked on a threemile march to the site of a planned monument honoring King. The site, bordering the Tidal Basin, was not far from the Lincoln Memorial where Beck and the others spoke about two hours earlier.

Sharpton and the several thousand marching with him crossed paths with some of the crowds leaving Beck’s rally. People wearing “Restoring Honor” and tea party T-shirts looked on as Sharpton’s group chanted “reclaim the dream” and “MLK, MLK.” Both sides were generally restrained, although there was some mutual taunting.

One woman from the Beck rally shouted to the Sharpton marchers: “Go to church. Restore America with peace.” Some civil rights marchers chanted “don’t drink the tea” to people leaving Beck’s rally.

Sharpton told his rally it was important to keep King’s dream alive and that despite progress more needs to be done. “Don’t mistake progress for arrival,” he said.

He poked fun at the Beck-organized rally, saying some participants were the same ones who used to call civil rights leaders troublemakers. “The folks who used to criticize us for marching are trying to have a march themselves,” he said. He urged his group to be peaceful and not confrontational. “If people start heckling, smile at them,” Sharpton said.

Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to Congress, said she remembers being at King’s march on Washington in 1963. “Glenn Beck’s march will change nothing. But you can’t blame Glenn Beck for his Marchon-Washington envy,” she said.

People march to the future site of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington on Saturday, the 47th anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

FURNITURE Afghan OUTLET prosecutor says Karzai fired him for fighting graft

Iraq on highest alert for terror attacks

By Dexter Filkins and Alissa J. Rubin New York Times News Service

By Lara Jakes The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minister put his nation on its highest level of alert for terror attacks, warning of plots to sow fear and chaos as the U.S. combat mission in the country formally ends on Tuesday.

The Iraqi security forces who will be left in charge have been hammered by bomb attacks, prompting fears of a new insurgent offensive and criticism of the government’s preparedness to protect its people. Still, President Barack Obama left no doubt Saturday in his weekly radio address that the U.S. is sticking to its promise to pull out of Iraq despite the uptick in violence.

In a statement to state-run television, Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki said Iraqi intelligence indicated an al-Qaida front group and members of Saddam Hussein’s outlawed Baath party are collaborating to launch attacks “to create fear and chaos and kill more innocents.”

“We direct the Iraqi forces, police and army and other security forces, to take the highest alert and precautionary measures to foil this criminal planning,” alMaliki said in the statement issued late Friday.

A senior Iraqi intelligence official on Saturday said security forces believe suicide bombers have entered the country with plans to strike unspecified targets in Baghdad by month’s end.

The official did not know how many bombers or where they would attack, and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

Obama, meanwhile, used his weekly radio address to reaffirm his campaign promise to end the war in Iraq and refocus on Afghanistan as home to the top threats against America.

“The bottom line is this: The war is ending,” Obama said from the Massachusetts island retreat of Martha’s Vineyard, where he was on vacation. “Like any sovereign, independent nation, Iraq is free to chart its own course.”

Pakistanis scramble to stay ahead of floodwaters

By Carlotta Gall New York Times News Service

THATTA, Pakistan — This town had already been evacuated because of the threat of flooding, but it filled up again on Saturday with tens of thousands of people fleeing floods that had inundated surrounding districts and villages after the Indus River broke its embankments in several places.

Families camped in front of the courthouse, in a park, in an ancient cemetery, in schools, at intersections and on scrub land for miles on the edge of the town.

There was no organization to it: People tied their cattle to bushes, rigged up awnings with colored cloth on sticks or tipped rope beds on their ends to create shade from the stifling heat of 104 degrees. Within hours thousands more people had swarmed into the town, many of them on foot.

“Our strategy is to establish camps as soon as possible away from here,” said Sadiq Memon, a member of the provincial assembly. “We want to clear people from here. It is under threat.”

As he spoke outside the main administration building in the town center, a crowd of women gathered around begging for tents. “It is chaotic,” he conceded.

“The population of the town has quadrupled overnight.”

Once again the Pakistani government is scrambling to keep up with the advancing floodwaters a month after they were set off by torrential monsoon rains in the northern mountains. The Indus has spread wider than anyone can remember across the flood plains of southern Pakistan on its way to the Arabian Sea, and officials are watching to see where it will break out next.

President Barack Obama poses with cadets in December after giving a speech on Afghanistan policy at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In confronting the wars he inherited, Obama has faced an array of decisions, not least of which is when to defer to his military advisers and when to shape his own decisions.

A wartime chief’s steep learning curve Editor’s note: This is an abridged version of a story about President Barack Obama. To read the full version, go to www.nytimes.com.

By Peter Baker New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama rushed to the Oval Office when word arrived one night that militants with alQaida in Yemen had been located and that the military wanted to support an attack by Yemeni forces. After a quick discussion, his counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, told him the window to strike was closing.

“I’ve got two minutes here,” Brennan said.

“OK,” the president said. “Go with this.”

Brennan raced to the Situation Room to transmit the order.

While Obama took three sometimes maddening months to decide to send more forces to Afghanistan, other decisions as commander in chief have come with dizzying speed, far less study and little public attention.

He is the first president in four decades with a shooting war already raging the day he took office — two, in fact, plus subsidiaries — and his education as a commander in chief with no experience in uniform has been a steep learning curve. He has learned how to salute. He has surfed the Internet at night to look into the toll on troops.

He has faced young soldiers maimed after carrying out his orders. And he is trying to manage a tense relationship with the military.

Along the way, he has confronted some of the biggest choices a president can make, often deferring to military advisers yet trying to shape the decisions with his own judgments — too much at times for the Pentagon, too little in the view of his liberal base. His evolution from antiwar candidate to leader of the world’s most powerful military will reach a milestone on Tuesday when he delivers an Oval Office address to formally end the combat mission in Iraq while defending his troop buildup in Afghanistan.

A year and a half into his presidency, Obama appears to be a reluctant warrior. Even as he draws down troops in Iraq, he has been abundantly willing to use force to advance national interests, tripling forces in Afghanistan, authorizing secret operations in Yemen and Somalia, and escalating drone strikes in Pakistan. But advisers said he did not see himself as a war president in the way his predecessor did. His speech on Tuesday is notable in part because he talks in public about the wars only sporadically, determined not to let them define his presidency.

Where George W. Bush saw the conflicts in Iraq and Afghan-

KABUL, Afghanistan — One of the country’s most senior prosecutors said Saturday that President Hamid Karzai fired him last week after he repeatedly refused to block corruption investigations at the highest levels of Karzai’s government.

Fazel Ahmed Faqiryar, the former deputy attorney general, said investigations, which Karzai’s office disputed, of more than two dozen senior Afghan officials were being held up or blocked outright

by Karzai, Attorney General Mohammed Ishaq Aloko and others.

Faqiryar’s account of the troubles plaguing the anticorruption investigations has been largely corroborated in interviews with five Western officials familiar with the cases. They say that Karzai and others in his government have repeatedly thwarted prosecutions against senior Afghan government figures.

This month, Karzai intervened to stop the prosecution of one of his closest aides, Mohammed Zia Salehi, who investigators say had been wiretapped demanding a bribe from another Afghan seeking his help in scuttling a corruption investigation.

Awash in American and NATO money, Karzai’s government is widely regarded as one of the most corrupt in the world. American officials believe that the corruption drives Afghans into the arms of the Taliban.

Faqiryar said his prosecutors had opened cases on at least 25 current or former Afghan officials, including 17 members of Karzai’s Cabinet, five provincial governors and at least three ambassadors.

None of the cases, he said, have gone forward, and some have been blocked on orders from Karzai.

As fees multiply and rates dip, savers pay banks

Bank Continued from A1 Spence doles out countrified humor along with deposit slips and the occasional loan.

“This is the one place where the cause of death is mildew,” he quipped, standing outside the trailer in withering heat.

Asked how his bank in this steaming town of oil refineries and oversized casinos managed to win over federal regulators, Spence, 70, said, “I’m still thinking it’s my looks that did it.”

The dearth of new banks follows a particularly wrenching period for the industry. As the financial crisis deepened, hundreds of banks and thrifts closed and thousands more were saddled with bad loans and credit card defaults, costing the industry billions of dollars.

As a result, the number of investor groups applying to start a new bank from scratch has dropped precipitously. And for the intrepid few who have tried, regulators — sharply criticized for lax oversight in recent years — are being particularly stingy in granting approval.

So far this year, Spence holds the privilege of opening the only truly new federally insured bank.

(In seven other instances, investors received regulatory approval to buy an existing bank, usually one that had failed, and reopen it).

Of course, many of the nation’s biggest banks were bailed out by the government and have since rebounded. But since January 2008, more than 280 smaller banks and thrifts have been closed, and many community banks are struggling to recover from the real estate collapse.

Those bank failures have cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s fund roughly $70 billion, and not surprisingly, the agency’s regulators are now giving greater scrutiny to new bank applications, according to bankers and industry officials.

Technically, banks obtain charters from their primary regulatory agency, either state banking regulators or, for national banks, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. But the charters are contingent on the applicants obtaining deposit insurance from the FDIC. The FDIC said the reduction in charters simply reflects the impact of the recession on new businesses. “There was considerable interest in forming banks

Hartie Spence, chief executive of Lakeside Bank, sits inside the secondhand double-wide trailer that serves as the bank’s temporary home in Lake Charles, La. before the economy deteriorated,” said an agency spokesman, David Barr. “In today’s climate, we are seeing very little interest.”

Declining banks The number of banks and thrifts — also known as savings and loans — in the United States has been declining steadily for 25 years, because of consolidation in the industry and deregulation in the 1990s that reduced barriers to interstate banking. There were 6,840 banks and 1,173 thrifts last year, down from 14,507 banks and 3,566 thrifts in 1984.

The number of charters has generally declined, too, though there have been periodic swings.

The lowest number of bank charters granted in any one year was 15, in 1942.

How, then, did Lakeside Bank win this year’s regulatory lottery?

Spence’s looks aside, he said that regulators were not convinced until Lakeside had raised enough capital, created a conservative business plan and hired an experienced management team.

The initial idea for Lakeside Bank came from a local real estate developer, Andrew Vanchiere, who was dissatisfied with his existing bank. In 2007, he rounded up a group of local businessmen who set about raising $13 million in startup capital and began look-

ing for someone to run the bank.

The initial candidates were deemed too inexperienced by regulators. When the group contacted Spence in 2008, he was a few months into retirement and coming to the realization that fishing for trout and redfish just wasn’t stimulating enough.

“I was bored absolutely stiff,” said Spence, who had successfully run several Louisiana banks during his career. “My response was, ‘Let’s do it!’

“You can manage a good bank in a bad economy, particularly when you are at the bottom,” he said. Noting that he has a clean balance sheet and can be selective about giving out loans, he added, “I thought it was a perfect time to be starting.”

Lakeside’s application was also helped by the surprising vitality of Lake Charles, a city of 72,000 roughly 30 miles from the Texas border. Lake Charles has gotten a boost from casino gambling and the oil and gas industry, as well as an infusion of new businesses, including liquefied natural gas terminals and a new plant that builds parts for nuclear reactors.

Louisiana, meanwhile, has fared better than many states during the economic downturn because of the petroleum industry and the infusion of government and insurance money to pay for damages from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike.

Only one bank has failed in Louisiana since the financial crisis began.

Regulators made it clear that Lakeside would not be approved if other banks in town were struggling to stay afloat, Spence said.

But Lakeside, which opened on July 26, sits on a busy boulevard lined with a dozen or more banks or credit unions, all of which appear to be thriving.

“There’s enough for all of us, and we are no threat to them for many, many years,” he said of his competitors.

Lakeside Bank is promoting itself as an old-fashioned community bank that focuses on customer service and bread-andbutter banking products, even though it also makes them available online.

Whereas loan decisions for many big banks are made in distant cities, Spence said that Lakeside will make them right there in the double-wide trailer, at least until the bank moves into a more permanent structure in a year or two.

“That’s our motto, ‘The Way Banking Should Be,’ ” he said, adding later, “It got rushed enough yesterday that I had to answer the phones and work the switchboard.”

NEW YORK — It’s getting tougher for U.S. savers to find a bank where they won’t end up paying to keep their money safe.

Average interest on savings, checking, money-market and certificate of deposit accounts fell to 0.99 percent in July, the first decline below 1 percent in a decade, according to researcher Market Rates Insight.

Banks also have been raising fees and adding new ones, most recently in response to the financial-services overhaul bill that became law July 21.

The result is that an increasing number of savers are seeing their deposit earnings eaten up by charges. That’s frustrating people such as Ken Ward, who recently passed on a savings account with a 0.01 percent interest rate at the Chase bank branch near his home in Wantagh, N.Y.

‘Might as well put it in the mattress’ “We went to Chase because of the convenience,” said Ward, 57, a stock-loan trader who was helping his daughter find a place to tuck away $10,000.

“But with those rates, we might as well put it in the mattress — and then at least we won’t be charged any fees.”

Had they gone with the Chase savings account, it would have paid about $1 in annual interest. Potential fees included $4 if the balance fell below $300, $2 for each nonChase ATM withdrawal and $3 for each withdrawal after making more than four withdrawals in a monthly statement cycle.

Ward said he and his daughter settled on a 13-month Chase CD paying 0.75 percent, and will look for a better alterna-

tive when it matures.

Chase’s interest payments reflect the low-rate environment created by the Federal Reserve, according to Greg Hassell, a spokesman for the bank’s New York-based parent, JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Fed has kept the overnight interbank lending rate target near zero since the end of 2008 to stimulate the economy after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings.

Unattractive rates and new fees may drive consumers to smaller banks and credit unions. Big banks such as Bank of America, the largest U.S. lender by assets, No. 2 JPMorgan and No. 4 Wells Fargo may lose about 1 million checking accounts each, based on estimates by economic-research firm Moebs Services.

The average interest rate offered on a checking account by a credit union is 0.21 percent, according to Bankrate.com, a website that tracks bank products. That compares with 0.12 percent at the five largest banks and five largest thrifts in each of the 10 largest markets.

Almost 80 percent of the 50 largest credit unions offered free checking as of April, Bankrate.com data show, while unconditional free checking is no longer offered by Bank of America, Chase, Citigroup or Wells Fargo.

Consumers looking for higher rates may also turn to online banks. DollarSavingsDirect. com, a division of Emigrant Bank, offers 1.2 percent for savings accounts with account balances of at least $1,000.

Another option, money-market funds, which aren’t backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., were averaging 0.04 percent as of Aug. 24, according to iMoneyNet Inc., a research firm that tracks money funds.

Alzheimer’s Continued from A1 The jury also heard from scientists from Duke University who had been commissioned to look at the body of evidence — hundreds of research papers — and weigh it. And the jury members had read the papers themselves, preparing for this day.

The studies included research on nearly everything proposed to prevent the disease: exercise, mental stimulation, healthy diet, social engagement, nutritional supplements, anti-inflammatory drugs or drugs that lower cholesterol or blood pressure, even the idea that people who marry or stay trim might be saved from dementia. And they included research on traits that might hasten Alzheimer’s onset, like not having much of an education or being a loner.

Early diagnosis It is an issue that has taken on intense importance because scientists recently reported compelling evidence that two types of tests, PET scans of Alzheimer’s plaque in the brain and tests of spinal fluid, can find signs of the disease years before people have symptoms. That gives rise to the question: What, if anything, can people do to prevent it?

But the jury’s verdict was depressing and distressing. So far, nothing has been found to prevent or delay this devastating disease, which ceaselessly kills brain cells, eventually leaving people mute, incontinent, unable to feed themselves, unaware of who they are or who their family and friends are.

“Currently,” the panel wrote, “no evidence of even moderate scientific quality exists to support the association of any modifiable factor (such as nutritional supplements, herbal preparations, dietary factors, prescription or nonprescription drugs, social or economic factors, medical conditions, toxins or environmental exposures) with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.”

“I was surprised and, at the same time, very sad” about the lack of evidence, said Dr. Martha L. Daviglus, the panel chairwoman and a professor of medicine and preventive medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.

“This is something that could happen to any of us, and yet we are at such a primitive state of research.”

She said, “In the end, we concluded that the evidence is the evidence and we have to say what it is.”

The state of the evidence reflects in part the long time it took before researchers even realized that Alzheimer’s was a disease, said Dr. Richard J. Hodes, director of the National Institute on Aging. Until the mid-1980s, many thought dementia was a normal part of aging, and so serious studies of its causes and prevention did not really begin until then. Scientists have spent the years since searching for factors that might affect risk, checking data from other studies to see if, for example, diet or blood pressure or years of education might be associated with the disease.

In the meantime, doctors are in a bind. Should they tell people to do things like walk briskly or eat vegetables — activities that might someday be shown to protect against Alzheimer’s and that certainly cannot hurt? Or should they wait for absolute proof, confirmation that a diet or a drug or an exercise regimen prevents Alzheimer’s?

The Alzheimer’s Association tells people to exercise, challenge themselves mentally, remain socially engaged and keep their hearts healthy. Such measures can only help, says Dr. Maria C. Carrillo, a senior director of the organization.

But, she said, “The Alzheimer’s Association certainly agrees that there is not enough evidence to say anything definitive about the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease and any kind of intervention.”

Of course, Hodes said, there are many reasons to follow practices to improve general health.

But, he said, researchers have to be careful about implying that any measures will protect against this degenerative brain disease.

“We don’t know that yet,” Hodes said.

Rating the quality Dr. John Williams Jr., head of the Duke group that evaluated the studies, thought the task would not be too arduous. He expected relatively few studies and clear results.

To its great surprise, the Duke group discovered a vast amount of literature on Alzheimer’s prevention. Instead of coming up

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 29, 2010 A5 Bill Schoux, 70, works out on a leg press machine in July at the Sport and Health in Washington, D.C. Despite staying mentally, physically and socially active all his life, Schoux learned last year he has Alzheimer’s.

Brendan Smialowski New York Times News Service

empty on many topics, Williams said, “We came up empty on very few.”

The problem, the group wrote, was that “the quality of the evidence was typically low.”

Most studies observed people who happened to use or not use a possible preventive measure and then determined whether they got Alzheimer’s or not.

Such studies, known as observational ones, are not the gold standard, like those in which people are randomly assigned to take a pill or do something like exercise, or not. Observational studies are useful in generating hypotheses but are not proof.

Still, if several well-done studies of this type come to the same conclusion, they can be valuable evidence.

In the case of Alzheimer’s prevention, though, the studies tended to have problems, Williams said.

Some studies unsound Often it was not clear precisely what subjects were doing. They might have been using a drug or a supplement at the start of the study but the dose was not specified, nor was it clear whether subjects were taking the same doses, or for how long.

Some studies of drugs to lower blood pressure used self-reports as opposed to, for example, pharmacy data. A 12-year study asked participants about their use of cholesterol-lowering statins at the start of the study but never did again. A nine-year statin study used pharmacy records but included as users those who took the drugs at any time during the study period.

Definitions of conditions, like high blood pressure, tended to vary from study to study.

Descriptions of factors like “strong social support” were vague or idiosyncratic. For example, some studies classified married people as having strong social support for that reason alone, with no evaluation of whether the marriage was good or bad.

Often, there were vague assessments of Alzheimer’s disease. And often studies did not take into account other differences among subjects, like age or family history of Alzheimer’s, that might have independently led some to get the disease and others not.

Looking over the piles of studies, the group rated evidence as high, moderate or low, depending on how confident they were in the findings.

Low confidence did not necessarily mean the measures did not work — it meant the evidence was so faulty that there was no way of deciding.

In the end, it said it was highly confident in the findings for just one thing, the herb ginkgo biloba.

But in that case the evidence pointed in only one direction: It did not prevent Alzheimer’s.

Moderate evidence, not totally convincing but not worthless, applied to only four factors studied.

Two were factors that increased risk. They were a particular gene, ApoE4, which, moderate evidence showed, increased risk about threefold, and menopause therapy with a combination of estrogens and progestins, which doubled risk.

The other moderate evidence indicated that certain things that had been hoped to be protective were not. For instance, there was moderate evidence that vitamin E, found in nuts, vegetable oils, green leafy vegetables and fortified cereals, had no effect on risk. There was also moderate evidence that cholinesterase inhibitors, drugs often used to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms, had no effect.

Other than that, evidence was poor.

There is only poor evidence, for example, that keeping your brain active, having a high level of education or exercising has a protective effect. There is also only poor evidence that eating a Mediterranean diet — high in fruits and vegetables, fish and olive oil — will help stave off Alzheimer’s.

There is only poor evidence that having poor social support or smoking increases risk.

Positives make a mark In a way, it is not surprising that many thought the evidence was stronger than it was, says Dr. James Burke, a member of the Duke group and director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at Duke.

“You remember the positive

studies,” Burke said. “The ones that are more marginal, you tend to put them out of your mind.”

And many things thought to protect against Alzheimer’s — a healthy diet, vigorous exercise

and an active brain — just seem to be common sense. The science jury said it was still possible that those measures might be found to help and urged that better quality studies be done.

But that may not be so easy if studies have to follow people until they get the disease. Alzheimer’s seems to progress silently in the brain for a decade before the earliest symptoms of memory problems surface. It can take another decade until the distinctive signs of Alzheimer’s appear: profound memory loss and an inability to handle the normal activities of daily life like bathing and dressing.

“Once there is even minimal cognitive impairment, the brain is damaged, inflamed, burning like a bonfire,” said Dr. Caleb Finch, director of the Gerontology Research Institute at the University of Southern California.

As a result, high-quality studies of possible factors like diet and exercise or mental stimulation

before the disease’s onset might have to last for decades.

In the meantime, patients, like those at Burke’s Memory Disorders Clinic, and their frightened family members want advice about things they can do now.

He tells them to do all they can to stay healthy: keep their heart disease risk factors under control, eat a good diet, exercise. He tells them that even if good health cannot prevent Alzheimer’s, it might delay its onset.

“We don’t have compelling evidence or proof that this will prevent Alzheimer’s disease,” he says. But those measures, he adds, “would improve quality of life.”

But Williams, head of the Duke group, said it was also important to keep an open mind; the measures may or may not affect a person’s chances of getting Alzheimer’s.

“Unfortunately, in medicine,” he said, “things that are logical and make good sense don’t necessarily work out.”

W B Hong Kong to protest Philippines slayings

Secretive Kim Jong Il heads back from China

HONG KONG — A rift between China and the Philippines deepened Saturday, with protests planned to demand an investigation into the standoff in Manila that left eight tourists from Hong Kong dead.

The announcement of today’s public rally organized by various political parties reflected the anger — fed daily by new revelations of missteps — that police allowed the standoff on Monday to drag on for 12 hours, throughout which the president, Benigno Aquino III, avoided calls from Hong Kong’s chief executive.

CHANGCHUN, China — North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il apparently headed home after a secretive and surprise trip that reportedly included a meeting with China’s top leader to appeal for diplomatic and financial support for a succession plan involving his youngest son.

Reporters have followed a motorcade — apparently used by the reclusive Kim — around several cities in northeast China.

The convoy was seen headed to the train station in Changchun on Saturday.

Gangs

recently organized a community forum to address some of the violent crimes taking place. It was an evening meant to share stories, not so much to come up with solutions. It was the first step, a beginning. A time to grieve and bond. Jose Alvarez, 20, who grew up in Warm Springs, heard of Timothy Red Dog’s death and decided he couldn’t stand by without doing something. Alvarez didn’t know Timothy Red Dog, but his death inspired him to organize the forum.

“We’ve had a lot of deaths around here,” Alvarez said. “I heard (Timothy Red Dog’s) kid was a (baby), and I thought that was so sad. Who is going to tell this kid what happened to his father? We’re hoping for a better outcome; we’re hoping to raise awareness of the violence.”

Continued from A1 Timothy Red Dog didn’t talk to his parents much about his gang affiliation. They don’t believe he was part of one of the more wellknown gangs on the reservation, like Native Gangsta Tribe, Native Mobb, 18th Street or Triple B (bound by blood). In high school, he went to a boarding school in Oklahoma. There he found a brotherhood. His father was locked up in prison for a large chunk of his childhood. Being part of a gang connected Timothy Red Dog with the older male role models he seemed to have been looking for most of his life.

Now, he belonged. His gang was a Blood sect. On Warm Springs Indian Reservation, there are sects of both Crips, who wear blue, and Bloods, who wear red.

The street gangs have become increasingly violent and organized since the mid-2000s, according to Bill Williams, the assistant U.S. attorney for Oregon and chief of the criminal division.

Young children are increasingly being recruited into multigenerational street gangs, according to Warm Springs officials.

Laws on the reservation have been changed to allow tougher sentences for crimes committed by a gang member. A highintensity drug trafficking area program, the first in the nation on a reservation, has been put into place. The program focuses on fighting gangs and drug trafficking. And Carmen Smith, the Warm Springs Police chief, is hoping federal funds come through to create an intertribal agency setup, to help curb gang members and drug traffickers traveling from reservation to reservation throughout Oregon.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins has also worked with Smith to cross-deputize staff, to help stop gang members who are crossing from the county into the reservation and vice versa.

Williams has been working with the Warm Springs Police Department. He declined to speak specifically about any particular case, but did say future prosecutions could be made to help discourage younger tribal members from joining gangs.

“If they can be prosecuted, we will prosecute,” he said.

“When people engage in gang violence or any violent conduct that affects quality of life on the reservation, we want to have a positive effect on that,” Williams said. “People can’t be left running around with impunity, shooting at other people and shooting at law enforcement. It’s a conduct that is unacceptable, and when cases can be made, they will be prosecuted.”

Seeking a solution in the community Law enforcement officials are fighting it, but in a tight-knit community where many members have grown up together or are related, it can be difficult for people to come forward. Several law enforcement officials pointed out there is only so much they can do. To break the cycle, to really stop it, that will have to come from the community.

“It will end if the community and the families step up and take control,” said Detective Starla Green, who is a Warm Springs tribal member and works both with the Warm Springs Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. “There is talk in the community, but talk doesn’t go anywhere. When we respond to a crime and no one provides us information, nobody talks, even if they witness a crime. ... It’s a community issue.”

Green said, however, that she realizes there is the serious concern of retaliation and revenge if someone does speak up.

There are signs people are ready to start talking. A group of young people on the reservation

Daily pain For Patrick Red Dog, the death of his son is unlike any other pain he’s experienced. Not that he hasn’t known loss or death.

But he was often in a bad place, drinking too much, and it didn’t have the same impact. With his son, it’s a different type of pain.

The sadness and guilt are intertwined. When he looks at his grandson, Aaron, he sees the spitting image of his son. There’s the same large grin and the bubbly personality of the son who grew up without him. Instead of being there for his son, Patrick Red Dog was serving about six years at the Snake River Correctional Institution for first-degree sexual assault and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Would it have made a difference if he had been there for his boy? Impossible to say, but the questions are there. And so is the guilt: He wasn’t there for his son, and now, his son won’t be there for his grandson.

Patrick Red Dog didn’t want to go into details about why he wasn’t there. Instead, he only said they were bad times. That’s what alcohol does to you, he said.

He told the story of the time Timothy Red Dog and his older brother and sister knocked over the cooking flour. They were entirely covered in white. Patrick Red Dog smiled at the memory, but his eyes also welled up.

“Having a dad in prison is pretty rough on the child, especially when they want to look up to someone,” Patrick Red Dog said.

“How does a kid say, ‘My dad is in prison,’ and how do they say, ‘I love him’ and ‘I want to be like that’?”

For Timothy Red Dog’s mother, Minnie Wallulatum, it’s difficult to speak of her son. Saying his name caused her to choke up.

She recalled raising her three children, asking men on the reservation to take her two sons fishing or hunting or to teach them traditional songs. She knew her youngest son, Timothy Red Dog, was always looking for a strong male role model. Wallulatum went to the community forum to speak about her loss and to remind the people around the table they all need to look out for one another.

“Now, I have a grandson who doesn’t have a dad,” Wallulatum said.

“That doesn’t mean our youth have to go the same way. If it takes this to pull us together, it’s better late than never,” she said at the meeting.

Patrick Red Dog, who is a member of the Lakota Sioux tribe in South Dakota, was back on the Warm Springs Reservation trying to slowly get to know his children again.

When he looked at Timothy, he saw his son, a young man who was reaching.

“Reaching for something good … for life, love, for a parent that wasn’t there,” he said.

Upstarts chip away at Pakistani elite

By Sabrina Tavernise New York Times News Service

MUZAFFARGARH, Pakistan — In Pakistan, where politics has long been a matter of pedigree, Jamshed Dasti is a mongrel. The scrappy son of an amateur wrestler, Dasti has clawed his way into Pakistan’s Parliament, beating the wealthy, landed families who have ruled here.

In elite circles, Dasti is reviled as a thug, a small-time hustler with a fake college degree who represents the worst of Pakistan today. But here, he is hailed as a hero, living proof that in Pakistan, a poor man can get a seat at the rich men’s table.

Dasti’s rise is part of a broad shift in political power in Pakistan. For generations, politics took place in the parlors of a handful of rich families, a Westernized elite that owned large tracts of land and sometimes even the people who worked it.

But Pakistan is urbanizing fast, and powerful forces of change are chipping away at the landed aristocracy, known in Pakistan as the feudal class.

Jason Tanner / New York Times News Service

Jamshed Dasti, the son of an amateur wrestler, is hailed by lower-class Pakistanis as a hero. A member of Pakistan’s Parliament, he is reviled by the elite class as nothing more than a thug.

The result is a changing political landscape more representative of Pakistani society, but far less predictable for the United States. Dasti, 32, speaks no English. His legislative record includes opposition to a sexual harassment bill. He has 35 criminal cases to his name and is from

the country’s conservative heartland, where dislike of the United States runs deep.

How this plays out is crucial to Pakistan’s future. The country’s fast-expanding, flood-weary population needs local government as never before, but with political power shifting and in-

stitutions stillborn, the state has never been less able to provide it.

“You have scarcity arising everywhere,” said Ali Cheema, chairman of the economics department at the Lahore University of Management and Science.

“Scarcity creates conflict. Conflict needs mediation. But the state is unable to do it.”

In Punjab, the country’s most populous province, and its most economically advanced, the number of national lawmakers from feudal families shrank to 25 percent in 2008 from 42 percent in 1970, according to a count conducted by Mubashir Hassan, a former finance minister, and The New York Times.

Dasti, a young, impulsive man with a troubled past, is much like the new Pakistan he represents. “I have more enemies than numbers of hairs in my head,” he said. “They don’t like my style, and I don’t like theirs.”

Whatever the case, he is deeply appealing to Pakistanis, who have chosen him over feudal lords for political seats several times.

School in Bend. And the smallest 95 school districts in the state make up fewer than 5 percent of the state’s student population.

Rexford pointed to studies from other states that estimate significant savings for consolidating small districts, then asked five questions of the legislators, including whether all of the state’s school districts are necessary; whether small districts are able to offer a comprehensive education; how they could be consolidated; and what sort of incentives could be created to push for consolidation.

Rexford thinks he knows the answers to some of those questions.

“I think many of our smallest districts are residuals from the past,” he said.

He pointed to Riddle High School, which is less than five miles away from South Umpqua High School but in a separate school district and with far fewer students. Locally, Black Butte School District, with 23 students in 2009-10, is just 15 miles from Sisters.

He said he wasn’t suggesting closing schools; instead Rexford would like to see districts combine central offices to increase efficiency.

And he suggested incentives like increased operating dollars from the state to pay for costs associated with consolidation.

“We’d come out on the other side in two to five years with a lot fewer districts but in a situation where local communities were able to at least, if not control their own destiny, influence their own destiny,” he said.

Virtual education and dual-credit options The reset cabinet also suggested expanding virtual education and dual-credit offerings for high school students in its report.

Right now, there are several virtual public charter schools around the state, as well as a variety of public school districts operating their own in-house online options for students. The reset recommendations call for a statewide public virtual education option that districts must allow students to access if they

don’t already have their own.

The state will launch its virtual option this fall; state officials and ESDs combined forces to start the program with a few courses and to expand it in the winter.

Dempsey thinks a single, statewide virtual option is best.

“If we were to move towards a one-stop shop, I think at some point we’d see efficiencies,” Dempsey said. “We’d see the cost being driven down and the quality going up.”

Dempsey’s disappointed that the cabinet stopped short of recommending a single system.

“We don’t need 198 school district online programs,” he said.

Crook County School District Superintendent Ivan Hernandez agrees that a statewide virtual program would be best for districts like his, which has made large-scale budget cuts over the past several years to deal with declining state funding.

Hernandez said his district has lost students to online charter schools like North Bend’s Oregon Virtual Academy and Scio’s Oregon Connections Academy.

“We need greater policing and supervision of all of K-12, including alternative and charter schools,” he said. “The more different players we have, the more sets of rules we have, the harder it is to monitor.”

But Wilkinson disagrees that a single, statewide virtual school for all districts is the answer.

Bend-La Pine Schools operates its own in-house virtual program with teachers available to work with students in person.

Wilkinson thinks the answer lies in creating a statewide structure that would providing existing programs with curriculum, lessons and online enrichment programs.

In Crook County, Hernandez said he’s considering other options, beyond online classes, for those high-level classes. For example, if there are students in his district wanting to take an advanced physics class, but not enough to employ a teacher fulltime at the high school, Crook County could combine with Sisters and Redmond to share the teacher.

“Now what we have is one

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 29, 2010 A7 teacher in any given semester assigned to Redmond or to Prineville or to Sisters,” he said. “That way we can hire a highly qualified individual.”

The reset recommendations also call for expanding dualcredit options for high school students, which allow them to earn high school and college credits at the same time and take higherlevel courses than schools can perhaps still afford to offer.

Sager admitted that offering dual-credit options in all districts wouldn’t necessarily save money.

But he said it would make education for all students more nearly equal, and allow schools to continue educating their students to the fullest extent.

Wilkinson said it’s important, even if it doesn’t save money.

“Ultimately our goal is having kids ready for their futures,” Wilkinson said. “In tight times we have to think about how to prioritize, but I think our priority still is preparing kids for the future, and we have to find ways to make that work in our increasingly tight futures.”

‘Vapor trail’ leads to more drug trouble for Paris Hilton The Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Smoke wafting from a Cadillac Escalade on the Las Vegas Strip set off Paris Hilton’s latest legal troubles when an officer stopped the vehicle and police say a bag of cocaine later fell out of the 29-year-old socialite’s purse.

It’s the second time this year Hilton has been arrested on drug possession allegations, although authorities in South Africa dropped marijuana charges earlier this summer.

This time, the hotel heiress was with her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, who was driving the black SUV that the officer stopped at 11:22 p.m. Friday.

The officer “followed the vapor trail and the odor of marijuana to the Escalade,” police Sgt. John Sheahan said.

Katrina’s devastation, via one who reported it

By David Meeks Los Angeles Times

At The Times-Picayune newspaper, the water lapping at our front steps seemed to stretch forever: waist-deep and rising. The concrete fortress, where we rode out hurricanes so we could hit the streets to report, was about to become an island prison.

For 16 hours after HurESS ricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, Lake Pontchartrain had spilled relentlessly into living rooms across New Orleans. More than 1,000 people were already dead. But we didn’t know that yet.

The newspaper’s delivery trucks were the only way out, and perhaps not for much longer.

Report to the loading dock, we were told. Get in the back of one of the trucks. Everyone.

But, on that day five years ago, several of us were about to be exceptions.

Safety at the river In New Orleans, this is wellknown: To find high ground, head toward the river. As our caravan of delivery trucks ambled up the bridge approach, we peered from the open backs and saw a ribbon of dry land running along the Mississippi.

People were trudging along listlessly. Some carried plastic tubs filled with possessions. It was ungodly hot.

The day before, early reports indicated that the wind damage had not been so bad. But two colleagues on bicycles confirmed massive floodwall failures, and they saw neighborhoods underwater between the lake and the newspaper — the area where I lived.

Everyone pondered their own nightmare as we headed for safety. I was thinking about my house and the dog and two cats I’d left behind, with plenty of food upstairs and the bathtub filled with fresh water. The cats would be fine, but Carson, an Australian shepherd mix I’d inherited when my father passed away five years earlier, was old. He also was afraid of stairs.

In my final hour at home, I had leashed Carson and guided him up and down the stairs. Now I hoped he had figured out what I was trying to tell him.

I also thought about this great city, which had seduced me like it had so many others. I turned to Mike Perlstein, an investigative reporter, and said, “I’m not leaving.”

He felt the same. “Whatever you’re thinking,” he said, “I’m in.”

Back into madness After we made it over the river, several trucks in the convoy stopped to regroup.

Perlstein and I connected with like-minded colleagues. Not everyone was eager to return. But editor Jim Amoss gave us a truck.

Our reporting team was assembled in that parking lot: A handful of city desk reporters, the editorial page editor and her deputy, the music critic, the art critic, the religion writer and a photographer.

Behind the wheel was me, the sports editor.

We made it back into the city and drove into a news story: A massive crowd surrounded a Walmart. In what would turn out to be a last moment of naivete, I thought the store was launching a relief effort. Then we saw a man headed down the street with a flat-screen TV in a shopping cart.

Merchandise was leaving by the armful. Looters loaded with goods struggled to get through exits jammed with aspiring looters trying to get in. People guarded their bounty as if they’d paid for it.

Some of the looters were cops.

Perlstein approached a female officer — in full uniform, loaded down with cosmetics. She shrugged and said, “There’s nothing we can do about this. It’s every man for himself.”

One of her colleagues grabbed about 20 fishing poles; another held an assortment of DVDs. A looter, spotting our photographer, shouted: “The TimesPicayune is here taking pictures!

Let’s go outside and take care of business!”

It was time for us to go.

How to report?

We drove to the home of Terri Troncale, our editorial page editor, and arrived with our first story — the looting — and no way to send it in. Then we met Elaine and Guy Touard, an elderly couple stranded in their home across the

street. They spotted our truck and were quite pleased to see a bunch of journalists pour out the back.

We caught a huge break. Their phone was working. It was so old it wouldn’t command much at a garage sale, but on this day, it was priceless.

We called colleagues setting up the paper’s news desk A Y in nearby Houma and dictated stories written on scrap paper and the backs of envelopes. John McCusker transmitted photos of the looting police.

Our colleagues put the coverage on the Web; the newspaper wouldn’t print for three days.

We needed a way to get around the flooded city, so three of us decided to return to the newspaper building to retrieve a kayak.

While a colleague waited with the truck parked on the dry side of Interstate 10, Perlstein and I waded into the black water. The current was strong and I was nervous. But we made it.

As we loaded up the kayak in the late afternoon sun, I surprised my colleagues. “There’s still a lot of light,” I said. “I need to do one more thing.”

If Carson was alive, I had to rescue him.

Rescue mission We got within two miles of my house, at the edge of an ocean of water. I put on a lifejacket, climbed into the kayak and shoved off down I-10, taking my usual freeway exit, steering the tiny boat past the rooftops of my neighbors’ homes, hoping they all had made it out alive.

I had done pretty well at keep-

ing my emotions in check, but as I approached my home stewing in 10 feet of water, it was all too real. I sat there, as adrift as I’ve ever felt, and cried.

Gathering myself, I tied the kayak to the gutter, smashed a window and yelled, “Carson!

Carson!”

From the back of the house — up the stairs — came a bark, then constant barking.

I climbed through the window and swam toward the sound.

Carson and the cats were fine.

But I realized that there was no way could I swim out with the dog, much less get him into the kayak. I decided to comfort him and return the next day — but then I heard voices.

I yelled out the second-floor window and moments later, like a vision of good fortune, I was looking at a motorboat holding an older man and two young women. The three Cajuns from Assumption Parish had seen my kayak and come to help.

As I tried to explain my situation, the old man interrupted me.

“Oh, I could never leave my dog,” he said. “Hand him down to me.”

I left the cats, who had plenty of food and water (I retrieved them several days later). We tied the kayak to the boat and the Cajuns motored me back to where I’d put in. I never saw them again.

The first post-Katrina print edition of the Times-Picayune was scheduled for Friday, four days after the flood. It would be printed in Houma and distributed mainly to shelters.

We watched as it rolled off the press. It was filled with nothing but ugly news but, to us, it was beautiful.

R.I.P., HURRICANE KATRINA

Gerald Herbert / The Associated Press

Meredith Guy, 5, looks into a “Katrina casket,” in which people placed notes and items, Saturday after an ecumenical “funeral service” for Hurricane Katrina at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church in Chalmette, La., one day before the fifth anniversary of the storm.

Hundreds attended the service and added their messages to the casket.

One letter written by a child in red crayon said: “Go away from us.” Another note remembered one of the 1,800 victims of Katrina: “R.I.P. Gloria, I will always love you.” The

casket, along with some of the anger, grief and frustration, was later interred under an appropriately dark sky as rain pounded umbrellas.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor was flooded five years ago, just like all but two buildings in St. Bernard Parish.

“I cried a lot while I wrote my letter,” said Nancy Volpe, 61, who moved back into her house in November. “But I’m finally home.

I can’t tell you how much better I know the meaning of that word — home.”

Mission hasn’t ended for survivors network The Dallas Morning News DALLAS — It started with a red beans and rice dinner.

About 250 Hurricane Katrina evacuees came together at a June 2006 meeting hosted by Dallas Area Interfaith, a coali-

tion of community groups.

Evacuees were asked what they needed, and the Katrina Survivors Network was born.

And while most efforts to help evacuees ended long ago, the network, now part of DAI,

keeps going.

The network has about 200 members across the region and meets every month.

Most recently, state funds were secured for a job-training program for out-of-work evacuees.

USFS on hunt for Sisters land plan

RELIVING YOUNGER DAYS

State-paid advisers researching potential uses of 62-acre tract

By Kate Ramsayer

Family of teen who died on wilderness-school hike still waiting for answers

The Bulletin

The future of the western edge of the city of Sisters is up for debate again, as consultants are taking a look at what developments would be a good fit for the site currently owned by the U.S. Forest Service.

The Forest Service tried to sell the 62-acre property in June 2008, with plans to use some of the proceeds to build a new ranger district on land it would retain next door. But the agency did not receive any bids above the $14 million minimum.

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

A year after 16-year-old Sergey Blashchishen collapsed and died on a hike with a Redmond-based wilderness school — an incident one investigator labeled a homicide — prosecutors have not yet decided if they’ll file criminal charges.

In June, the State Medical Examiner’s Office completed its report on the case, citing hyperthermia, a condition that occurs when a person’s body temperature rises to abnormally high levels, as the Portland boy’s cause of death. In his report, Dr. James Olson, the deputy state medical examiner for Southern Oregon, wrote that the condition occurred “due to strenuous exertion in hot environmental temperatures.”

After months of investigation, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office completed its 5,000page report last month and turned it over to the Lake County District Attorney’s Office.

Now, that office is beginning its own review, as Blashchishen’s family waits for the results of a separate state investigation and considers filing a civil case.

Unspecified limits Part of the reason, said Rod Bonacker, with the Sisters Ranger District, is that developers did not know what they could build on the site, currently zoned only for public facilities.

“When we tried to put the property on the market before, even though the economy was tanked, there were people with money interest,” Bonacker said. “But the uncertainty of what they would be able to do with the property was a big problem. No one wants to lay down $20 million and find out all they can do with the property is build an arts center.”

So the Forest Service and Sisters have entered into a program sponsored by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development called the Quick Response Program, Bonacker said, which funds consultants to determine what might go on the property and to assess transportation requirements.

The program is free to the city and Forest Service. It is funded through a $62,000 grant to the Department of Land Conservation and Development.

Family ready to move forward Gordon Gannicott, a Portland attorney representing the family, said family members are trying to remain patient — though they’re also ready to move forward with the case.

“They would obviously want and hope that everything would get resolved,” Gannicott said.

“They do understand that these things do take some time, and they are being very patient about things, though they obviously still have strong feelings about the situation and want to pursue their claims.”

Blashchishen’s parents signed him up for the school without his knowledge because they were worried about his behavior problems, according to a search warrant affidavit filed last year by Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Chuck Poré.

Sometime in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 2009, two people contracted by SageWalk woke the boy and put him in a vehicle, as Blashchishen’s parents watched from a neighbor’s house.

At 1 p.m., the teen was blindfolded and put in a van headed for a base camp in Lake County. He met with other students, ate a meal of rice and lentils, and wrote a poem: “squirrels/ running around/blue skies/green bushes and trees/but I’m still hungry.”

The next morning, the students had breakfast and set out for a hike.

aturday seemed like the perfect time for 84-year-old Betty Fairham to put on her black poodle skirt and dance again.

She was going to a 1950s flashback party at the Stone Lodge Retirement Community in northeast Bend with her husband, Bud, and she wanted to make sure she looked the part when the live band started playing its swing tunes.

“I’ve had it for years,” Betty said of her original ’50s-era skirt. “It’s just moved around with me.”

As she danced with Bud, the long skirt flitted around her legs, and the memories of when the couple used to jitterbug rushed in to greet her.

“We weren’t meant to retire to a rocking chair,” Betty said after the dance.

“We’ve got a lot of great memories, and we feed on our memories.”

La Pine biomass plant clears hurdle Pending code changes permit taller structures

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A proposed biomass-fueled power plant has moved a step closer to breaking ground with the approval of a slate of changes to codes in the La Pine Industrial Park.

Biogreen Sustainable Energy Co. had requested changes to the maximum allowable height of buildings and smokestacks in the park, as well as loosening of standards for screening stored materials from view.

The company wants to build a plant that would generate 24.9 megawatts of electricity by burning scrap woody debris harvested from 26,000 acres of private forestland the company owns about 30 miles southeast of La Pine.

Thursday night, the proposal was brought before the Deschutes County Planning Commission and the County Commission. The joint session was scheduled to speed approval of the project — Biogreen is drawing much of its funding from federal grants that will no longer be available after the end of the year.

Changes approved by the Planning Commission Thursday would allow utility companies to construct buildings up to 100 feet tall and smokestacks up to 150 feet tall, and eliminate a requirement for stored materials — in Biogreen’s case, burnable wood scrap — to be screened from view of neighboring industrial properties.

Corvallis institute creating new wave of microproducts

By Bennett Hall (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — One of the most successful products in the modern world — the inkjet printer — was developed in Corvallis by Hewlett-Packard engineers who found ways to move precisely measured volumes of ink through tiny nozzles.

Now a whole new generation of products using similar principles of microfluidics is taking shape on HP’s Corvallis campus at the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute, a joint research initiative of Oregon State University and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

That’s no accident, said Home Dialysis Plus Chief Executive Michael Baker, whose Portland-based company is working with MBI to develop a portable kidney dialysis machine intended for home use.

‘World-class’ infrastructure “This infrastructure here is world-class,� Baker said Friday during a tour of the HD Plus lab at MBI, which is housed in rent-free space donated by Hewlett-Packard on a 20-year lease. HP and other high-tech companies in Oregon have stocked the facility with electron microscopes, industrial lasers, thin-film deposition tools and other sophisticated equipment for fabricating devices that operate in the microscopic realm. “Our technology is based on microfluidics, and (Corvallis) is the hub,� Baker added. “Whether you’re talking about HP or OSU, this is

where it all began.� HD Plus is licensing technology from both HP and OSU in its bid to be the first manufacturer to hit the $70 billion North American dialysis market with a machine patients can use at home. That technological foundation and MBI’s stateof-the-art capabilities were key factors in winning a $50 million cash infusion from an East Coast financial firm, Baker said.

$14M expansion Baker’s company was one of several startup ventures showing off their new research and development facilities Friday at MBI, which drew more than 500 visitors to an open house to dedicate a $14 million laboratory expansion project.

MBI is a shared user facility of the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute, a research collaborative that involves OSU, the University of Oregon and Portland State University.

Each university brings a particular brand of expertise to the table in Oregon’s effort to establish itself as a leader in the field of ultrasmall-scale manufacturing.

ONAMI director Skip Rung, a longtime R&D manager at Hewlett-Packard, said the connection between HP’s inkjet technology and MBI’s microfluidics expertise is “real strong� and is a big draw for entrepreneurs. “There are several companies coming up� under the ONAMI umbrella that are working with MBI for that reason, Rung said.

O Co-founder of Islamic charity branch goes on trial Monday Government will argue former Ashland man tried to funnel money to Chechen separatists

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

ASHLAND — The gates are rusted and the American flags are gone from the house on the outskirts of this small tourist town that once served as U.S. headquarters for an Islamic charity that was declared a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

But despite six years of trying, federal investigators have not brought terrorism charges against the Iranian-born tree trimmer and naturalized American citizen who co-founded the American branch of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation Inc., or his fellow foundation officer liv-

ing in Saudi Arabia.

The government will instead put Pete Seda, also known as Pirouz Sedaghaty, on trial Monday in U.S. District Court in Eugene on charges of conspiracy, tax fraud and failing to report taking $150,000 out of the country.

The indictment alleges that in 2000, the money came from an unnamed Egyptian benefactor through a London bank to Ashland, where Seda and Soliman Hamd al-Buthe arranged to take it out of the country, filing a phony tax return to show the money going toward the purchase of a prayer house in Springfield, Mo.

U.S. says Seda backed radical form of Islam Court documents show the government will argue that Seda and al-Buthe intended the money to go to Muslim separatists in the Russian republic of Chechnya who have fought two wars with

government forces since 1994, but will not be offering any evidence the money actually went to terrorists.

The strength of any government terrorism case against Seda has been questioned.

“There was a kind of rush of those kinds of cases at one point” after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorism attacks, said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. “It’s always a concern when the initial allegations don’t match up with the ultimate charges.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Cardani declined to discuss the prosecution’s case, but at a 2007 bail hearing he argued that Seda had promoted a radical form of Islam based in Saudi Arabia known as Wahabbism.

In a ruling on what evidence and witnesses will be allowed

a federal judge ruled in another case involving the charity that the government’s program of wiretapping suspected terrorists without getting permission from a judge was illegal.

Seda, 52, came to Ashland as a college student and stayed on, taking U.S. citizenship.

As an arborist, he became well-known for his ability to save ailing or damaged trees.

Active in community

Orville Hector / The Ashland Daily Tidings

Pete Seda, also known as Pirouz Sedaghaty, co-founder of the American branch of an Islamic charity that was declared a terrorist organization, at a friend’s house in Ashland in 2007. Seda goes to trial Monday on charges including conspiracy and tax fraud. in the tightly controlled case, Judge Michael Hogan wrote, “As the government sees it, the main issue to be decided at trial is whether defendant Sedaghaty conspired to prevent the United States from discovering Al-Haramain’s attempt to fund the mujahideen in Chechnya and whether he later attempted to cover it up by signing a return with the IRS that he knew to be false.

“Defendant will seek to rebut

the government’s evidence regarding the funding of the Chechnyan Mujahideen by showing his concern regarding Russian brutality and that such concern was mainstream and shared by high government officials.”

Seda has been free on bail, living in Portland. Al-Buthe was indicted along with Seda, but Saudi Arabia will not extradite him.

In the course of the government going after Al-Haramain,

He was also something of a public figure, regularly leading his pet camel in the Fourth of July parade, speaking on panels and a local radio talk show about the peaceful side of Islam, handing out copies of the Quran to Muslims in prison, and writing a pamphlet titled, “Islam Is...”

Retired attorney and former Peace Corps volunteer David Berger met Seda when he needed some trees moved, and became a friend, giving him legal advice, attending gatherings at the AlHaramain house.

“There is no doubt in my mind he is a very, not just law-abiding, but very decent and honest person,” said Berger. “But Pete was not one to automatically ask himself, ‘Gee, is there something illegal about this?’ ”

Hungry monkey enters home in ’35

Cardiologist backs sterols to reduce cholesterol

100 YEARS AGO FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUG. 28, 1910 HAMPTON COUNTRY DRAWS The Hampton Butte country is developing remarkably, according to V. Schrader, one of the pioneer homesteaders of Hampton Valley, who drove in to Bend Monday with a four-horse team to get wheat and rye seed, with which he will plant 40 acres this fall.

In Hampton Valley alone there are now 40 houses and tents.

Many miles of fence have been built, several hundred acres plowed and many more cleared, and dozens of wells dug, all reaching good water at slight depths. Indeed, Mr. Schrader says everything is highly promising, that new families are moving on to their claims each week, and that thousands of acres as good as any now occupied remain to be taken up under the 320-acre homestead act.

The new settlers are working hard not only to tame the raw land but to build up a community.

Two petitions have been signed by practically every resident in the valley, one for the establishment of a school and the second for a post-office. In June there were 26 children of school age in the valley. The school, says Mr. Schrader, is practically assured.

The settlers desire that the new Prineville-Fife mail route, which has been in existence but a few weeks, be operated from Prineville to Fife, thence to Hampton and thence back to Prineville via Held, instead of doubling back on the Prineville-Fife route as now. The proposed change would make the weekly mail trip but two miles longer.

Mr. Schrader, who is a Bend enthusiast, was particularly anxious that Bend people understand the opportunities they are losing.

“Bend is but a very few miles farther from us than is Prineville,” said Mr. Schrader. “Coming this way there are absolutely no hills while the Prineville road is excessively hilly. But Bend people don’t seem to care, while Prineville is working hard to get and keep the fast increasing trade of the Hampton country. A very little money could put the Bend road into splendid shape and a very little trouble could bring Bend a lot of trade.

Of course when the railroad gets to Bend all of our country will trade here. And the building of the east-west line will center all of the new country on Bend.

Nevertheless, Bend is letting a lot of money get away by being asleep now.”

Mr. Schrader came to this country from Davenport, Wash.

His daughter Emily, will come in to Bend to attend high school this winter.

Cholesterol is that waxy, fatlike substance that occurs naturally in all parts of your body.

You need some cholesterol for things to work properly, but too much sticks to the walls of your arteries. That’s called plaque, and too much plaque can kill you.

Cholesterol levels tend to rise as we get older. There are usually no signs or symptoms.

It takes a blood test to detect high cholesterol.

And while most physicians prescribe statins or tell patients to give up foods they love, Dr. Joseph Keenan, a researcher in preventive cardiology at the University of Minnesota, says there’s a better way.

“I’ve been a family practice physician with an interest in cardiology for more than 40 years,” Keenan says. “Cholesterol is in all the plants we eat.

Even eating a pure vegetarian diet doesn’t take all the unnecessary cholesterol out of your body.

“But now, due to some nice work in food science, we are able to block the cholesterol we eat and, at the same time, reduce the amount of cholesterol already existing in our bile.”

You are talking about eating specific brands of foods?

Actually, scientists have been able to extract plant sterols. They exist in all food we eat, but there’s not enough to block cholesterol. Now sterols, which block cholesterol when we eat and also reduce cholesterol in the bile, are available in supplement form and in some foods. Your best source of information on foods with sterols is corowise.com.

Q: A:

Q:

The website shows a nice listing of foods and also shows you as the expert medical adviser. I assume you have a good reason to promote these foods.

They work. They work to lower cholesterol with sterols that block cholesterol.

Q:

The American Heart Association says studies do not yet give definitive proof that sterols reduce cholesterol.

There are many, many completed studies. The sterols do work.

What if you already take statins to cut cholesterol?

In addition to the program of sports and a ball game, there were a number of short addresses by commanders of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the United Spanish War Veterans.

The Army was “hot” yesterday in the inter-service contests and won both the tug of war and the ball game. Last year the Navy, aided by a few good Marines, won the tug of war from Bill Baer and his husky pullers. The Army “kids,” of which McFadden was the star with his home runs and spectacular catches, defeated the Navy 31 to 3. Leon Devereaux did the chucking for the winners, with Bretano behind bat. Bishop represented the Navy on the mound and Sprout caught.

Winners in the foot races were Albert Curtis, Lorraine Devereaux, Leon Devereaux Jr., Jean Huber, Rufus Biggs, Mrs. O.F. Anderson, Shorty McFadden, and McArthy. In a feature race, Mrs. C. Rhodes, Dordene Crandle, Tom Cook and J. Jackson all caught their chickens.

The baseball throw was won

MONKEY INVADES HOUSE IN BEND There is at least one wild monkey in Central Oregon, according to reports from the G.S. Vergeer home at 720 East Fifth street.

He is a brown monkey, about 18 inches tall, and he likes biscuit dough.

Mrs. Vergeer was preparing lunch this morning. The biscuits were in the pan on top of the range and she went into the other room to care for her baby.

When she came back there sat the monkey, one of the unbaked biscuits clutched in a paw.

She screamed and the monkey skipped out through a loose screen on the door.

Foot prints, or “hand prints,” if you like, showed he had made himself at home in the few minutes at his disposal.

When the monkey left, he was seen by Rev. George H. Redden and the Redden children. Mrs. Vergeer is glad someone else saw the same kind of monkey she did. It makes it so much easier to believe — easier for her, and others too.

history dating to 1900. Around 1914, when Oswald West was governor of Oregon, Copperfield’s reputation as a wide open town with bad morals was a sore spot in the political picture. Fact is, little Copperfield virtually defied the great state of Oregon.

Governor West did not send in his strong men to quell the Copperfield insurrection. With the entire town on the Snake alerted, it was a girl, Miss Fern Hobbs, who showed up. She was Governor West’s secretary. She was double armed with determination and a signed declaration of martial law to clean up morals of the place.

Of course, historians do not fully agree as to her success: A series of fires in the little town about cleaned up the entire place in a short time. But the incident brought Governor Oswald West of Oregon into the national spotlight.

Governor West, as he was known to his friends even in the sunset years of his eventful life, was no stranger to Central Oregon, or to Bend. His association with the temporary illfated North Canal Company in constructing the original Crane Prairie Dam on the upper Deschutes River brought him to Bend on many occasions. In later years he continued to visit Bend, and frequently dropped into The Bulletin office, generally to chat about conservation matters.

Oswald West sought no memorial for his long service to Oregon. But events have shaped such a memorial.

That memorial will forever be the broad expanse of public beaches on the beautiful Oregon coast. He preserved those beaches for this generation, and for generations of Oregonians yet unborn.

Friendly Oswald West’s deeds will long live to inspire those who follow his example of generous public service.

1965 CLASS RECALLS GOOD OLD DAYS

By Robert W. Chandler

I guess I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Bend High School Class of 1965. Members of the class enlarged the spot a little more a few days ago.

Our daughter Janet was a member of the class, so Nancy and I knew a large number of its members. We lived in two different sections of Bend by the time graduation ceremonies came around in 1965. Lots of members of the graduating class had been in our home at one time or another. We knew them, and knew the parents of many of them.

(The Bend area was not so large in those days.)

When the class held its 20th reunion in mid-August it invited the parents. I went.

I had a good time. No I had a bal-l-l-l-l-l-l. And it was obvious the graduates enjoyed themselves as much.

I had a good time because I saw so many fine young men and women I had not seen for such a long time. The young women were attractive. The young men, or a surprising number of them, were handsome. It’s obviously much more fun for me to attend a 20th class reunion than it would be to attend a 50th, which I will do in three years.

Members of the Class of 1965 came from all over.

Some of them live in the Central Oregon area, of course. And a number live in the Portland area, or down the Willamette Valley. But others came from Washington and California and Idaho. One came from Saudi Arabia.

Some of the teachers came. I had a chance to visit with Tom Winbigler and Ken Cooper and Laurie Smith Frye, none of whom I had seen for many years.

25 YEARS AGO FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUG. 28, 1985

Those graduates were involved in a variety of activities.

Half a dozen were medical doctors. There were lawyers and CPAs and contractors and sawmill workers and housewives and secretaries and bankers and people who ran their own businesses.

There were other ways n which they varied. One of the members — perhaps more — was a grandmother. Two others were mothers of children less than a year old. One member — he wasn’t able to come — was in prison in California.

Some were military veterans of the early Vietnam days.

Others had developed religious principles which kept them out of that war. Some were political conservatives, surprisingly conservative I thought for men and women so young. One unreconstructed liberal whose ideas had not changed much in 20 years must have been lonely; his pleas for action fell mostly on deaf ears. Few wanted to talk about serious matters.

Instead they dwelt on memories, memories of the good old days. There must have been bad days 20 years ago but no one remembered them. They remembered the fun things and the funny things.

Sometimes it seems as if the world is nothing but misery and trouble. But sometimes, too, we can go back in time, back to happier days when misery and trouble and problems must have existed, but which we cannot now remember. That’s what the class of 1965 did that August evening. And I was delighted that its members let me share some of their joy.

Death came quietly as he slept.

But Oswald West’s life, especially in his active political years, were far from quiet.

Few governors in Oregon’s more than 100 years of statehood left such a mark on the state’s history as he did. He was fearless. He was a fighter. He made contributions to the State of Oregon that will benefit its people for generations.

He kept the political scene spirited with his pungent observations and by his unpredictable actions. Consider the Copperfield incident of 1914.

Question: My dentist told me that I have to have a crown due to another broken tooth. How can I stop breaking my teeth so I don’t have any more crowns?

QUESTION: I have chronic spinal pain which improves with chiropractic and physical therapy but the pain always returns.

Can your clinic help me?

Answer: A common cause of spinal pain is due to underlying instability of the joint complex due to injury, poor posture, or normal age related degenerative changes.

As ligaments become lax due to injury/postural strain or discs begin to lose height this alters the movement within the joint complex. In response to this abnormal or excessive Payson Flattery, movement muscles tighten up to stabilize and protect N.D., D.C., PC the joint resulting in pain and discomfort. Chiropractic treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles but the pain and tightness return due to the underling instability. So, the lack of mobility is often due to underlying ligamentous instability (too much movement) resulting in muscle tightness. Physical therapy can be very helpful if the muscles can be strengthened to compensate for the lack of ligamentous integrity. However, when the exercise is discontinued the muscles loose the strength to effectively stabilize the joint complex and pain often returns. Prolotherapy or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) involves the injection of dextrose or growth factors (PRP) into and around the ligaments triggering a controlled inflammatory cascade. This regenerates injured or insufficient tissue (including cartilage, tendon, and ligament) and effectively resolves chronic or recurrent pain in 80-90% of select cases.

Dr. Payson Flattery has been practicing and teaching regenerative injection techniques for over 10 years. For more information contact our office.

Answer: I’m sorry that you have teeth that are breaking. Once a tooth breaks there is little you can do to avoid having a crown. The approach in dentistry to broken teeth has changed quite a bit Kelley Mingus, D.M.D. in recent years. In the past the approach to broken teeth has been reactive. Large fillings over time cause your teeth to become weakened and eventually lead to broken teeth. Once the tooth breaks we place a crown on it to regain the strength it once had.

Technology has given us the opportunity to be proactive instead of reactive. The number of crowns I do has been reduced by 75% over the last few years Rather than waiting for the teeth to break and then doing a crown, I now predict when a tooth is at risk of fracturing and treat it with a conservative onlay prior to it fracturing. A proactive approach can allow you to avoid having crowns and allow a more conservative approach without sacrificing longevity or health.

or out to the side?

Answer:

The shoulder joint is an extremely m oveable joint that has the ability to move in

Annette Cyr, BA, PTA

The common contributing factors to shoulder pain are poor posture, overuse, and weakness and muscle imbalance. The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles that surround and stabilize the shoulder joint. The muscles tendons join together at the top of the joint to form the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff functions optimally when the four muscles are strong and in balance with each other. Without this the rotator cuff can easily become irritated and inflamed, causing tendonitis.

Tendonitis can be quite painful and is classically aggravated by shoulder motions such as reaching up, out to the side, or reaching behind yourself. If you have poor posture or muscle imbalances, these motions can cause impingement of the tendons that result pain.\ Physical Therapy decreases the inflammation and teaches you how to make and keep the posture corrections that will make a big difference.

Specific individualized exercises and stretches are also prescribed to bring the shoulder and postural muscles into balance.

THORACIC, VASCULAR & VEIN SURGERY QUESTION: I had varicose vein stripping 15 years ago.

While at first it worked, the veins have returned, and my legs feel worse than ever. Is there anything else that can be done, short of undergoing vein stripping again?

ANSWER: In my practice I frequently see patients who have had previous open vein stripping or ligation. Most are patients who were treated many years prior with older surgical techniques that are Edward M. Boyle, Jr., now less frequently used. Current theories of why M.D., F.A.C.S., F.C.C.P. varicose veins recur after previous vein ligation and stripping include the concept of neovascularization.

Neovascularization occurs when the veins from the abdomen and pelvis are dilated with gravity and ultimately coalesce to form new, large varicose veins that eventually bulge out in the legs.

The good news is that the newer office-based treatments are very effective at treating patients who have had previous vein surgery. The key is to understand why the varicose veins have recurred. For this we use Vascular Ultrasound, which is an office-based, painless, and noninvasive way to assess these often complex patterns. Once the cause of the recurrent veins is identified, there are numerous minimally invasive, office-based treatments available that do not require general anesthetics, large incisions, or post-operative pain associated with the traditional vein stripping that was common a number of years ago.

FA C I A L P L A S T I C S U R G E R Y QUESTION: Dear Dr. Villano, in the media I’ve seen more and more about “volume replacement” for the aging face. What is volume replacement and how do I achieve it? I am interested in adding volume to my cheeks but do not wish to pursue surgery. What do you recommend?

ANSWER: In recent months the media have focused on volume replacement as the newest Michael E. Villano, trend in facial plastic surgery. As one ages, not M.D. only does sagging occur but loss of soft tissue volume occurs akin to when a grape becomes a raisin. Volume replacement is a concept where one replaces the lost volume in the face that occurs when one ages. This manifests itself in a hollowed look around the eyes or “sagging” of the cheeks as you correctly point out. I often will employ a variety of fillers for different regions of the face including Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane and Sculptra. For generalized volume replacement of the face, I recommend Sculptra. Sculptra is a FDA approved filler that restores volume throughout the face and cheeks well.

It helps fill in fine lines, resulting in a natural, long-lasting (up to three years), youthful appearance. Even for those who desire surgery, I often recommend volume replacement in conjunction to achieve a better result.

MICHAEL E. VILLANO, M.D.

NECK LIFTS QUESTION: I am unhappy with how my neck is aging and sagging, But I don’t want plastic surgery. Is there an alternative?

ANSWER: More and more men and women are choosing alternative procedures to plastic surgery for looking years younger. Whether the choice is made from a purely financial viewpoint, or the desire for a healthier, Becky Carter Medical Esthetician more natural look, alternative methods are Certified Laser definitely growing in popularity. Alternative Technician face and neck lifts can save more than 50-75 per cent of the costs involved with plastic surgery, the average cost for neck lifts being $1,500. Adding to the savings, the health risks involved with plastic surgery, anesthesia and recovery time, are the main factors in clients choosing alternate procedures. Face and neck lifts can be performed without anesthesia, cosmetic injections, and without “down time”. One procedure performed in less than an hour gives results that can last for years.

Ask any Health Question in the area of:

Q UESTION : So often people say they have

diverticulitis when it is really diverticulosis.

What is the difference? And what do I do if I have diverticulosis to prevent getting diverticulitis?

A N S W E R : This can be a confusing issue.

Diverticulosis is a condition of the intestines in which there are out-pouchings or small sacs protruding from the bowel wall. This is a benign Jana VanAmburg, condition, but significant complications can develop MD, FACS. which frequently lead to operative intervention.

Among the most common complication of diverticulosis is diverticulitis, which is technically a micro perforation of one of the diverticular sacs. This leads to infection; fever, pain, diarrhea and peritonitis. Uncomplicated diverticulitis is treated with antibiotics and a soft diet for a week or two to allow healing.

Sometimes diverticulitis worsens and an abscess may develop in the abdomen after a perforation. Other complications of diverticulitis include fistula or abnormal connection between the intestine and another hollow organ such as the vagina or urinary bladder. Finally, a life-threatening perforation of the bowel may occur with bowel contents spilling into the abdominal cavity causing a septic syndrome.

Emergent abdominal operation is needed in this case. To try and prevent complications associated with diverticulosis, a high fiber diet is recommended. Nuts and seeds should be ingested sparingly and with other foods as these may initiate a diverticulitis.

QUESTION: Several people in my family have been diagnosed with gastric ulcers. I have occasional abdominal pain over my stomach. How do I go about finding out if I have an ulcer?

ANSWER: Gastric ulcer or Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is a common problem and can be diagnosed with several different tests. The most accurate study is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD. This is Kevin Reuter, M.D. performed under light anesthesia and a camera is passed into the stomach and first part of the small intestine to visualize the lining of the alimentary tract. Biopsies can be taken and bleeding controlled if an ulcer is visualized. The bacteria Helicobacter pylori can cause ulcers and treatment with a cocktail of medications including antibiotics can then be commenced if the bacteria is detected. Other ways to check for the bacteria are with a blood test, stool test, or a urea breath test. Risk factors for developing ulcers include smoking, alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and use of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or Aleve. Complications such as stomach perforation or gastric outlet obstruction can occur if ulcers are left untreated.

In general, if you have had an ulcer, you should be on medication to help suppress gastric acid and your doctor can help you decide which medication to choose.

Jack Pitney, 47, force behind success of Mini in U.S. New York Times News Service Jack Pitney, a rising star at BMW of North America, where he was the vice president for marketing and led the wildly successful introduction of BMW’s updated Mini Cooper into the American market in 2002, died Aug. 26 in an accident on his farm in Durham, N.Y. He was 47.

A spokesman for BMW, citing officials in the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, said Pitney died when a tractor he was riding flipped over on him as he was trying to uproot a tree stump. No other details were provided. He also lived in Ridgewood, N.J. As vice president for marketing at BMW of North America, Pitney unrolled a new advertising campaign this year to recast the highperformance BMW image around the theme of joy. But it was the sporty little Mini that gave him his greatest triumph.

Against the odds, Pitney convinced executives that BMW’s version of the classic Mini could succeed in the United States, despite the dominance of sport utility vehicles.

It was not an easy sell. Although the Mini was a cherished symbol of the swinging ’60s in Britain, where it first appeared in 1959, and had been reintroduced by BMW in Europe, it had no cultural presence in the United States.

Surveys showed that only 2 percent of consumers knew what it was.

Pitney prevailed nonetheless, and in 2001 he was installed as the Mini’s general manager in North America.

This was an unusual vote of confidence for a public relations executive. He had joined BMW in 1995 to run its corporate communications department.

June 1, 1918 – August 21, 2010 Ann Shank Johns died of natural causes on Saturday, August 21, surrounded by family. She was 92.

She was born in Grant County to Mary and Perry Shank, the ninth of their 10 children.

Her early childhood was spent on a ranch that her father operated in Cottonwood, Oregon. She and her Ann Shank younger Johns brother, Kenneth, rode a mule to their one-room schoolhouse each day. After the death of her mother in 1928, she lived with older siblings in Bend and Klamath Falls.

As a teenager, Ann spent one year in a tuberculosis hospital in The Dalles. When she was released, she returned to Grant County and settled in Fox Valley, where she met Earl Johns at a dance. They married in 1937, and lived on a ranch where Earl ran cows and sheep. Ann baked two pies a day to feed the ranch hands. The couple had three daughters and moved to Madras in 1952.

While she raised the girls, Ann ran lots of small businesses, including a pottery studio and a health spa. Never short on energy or afraid of hard work, she raised chickens, hogs and horses, too, to earn a little extra money. She took in calves that had to be bottle-fed, and once had 25 of them in her backyard. She also bred Arabian horses, a passion which endured.

She was an avid angler all her life. After her girls were grown, she spent two months a year – one in the spring and one in the fall – camping by herself and salmon fishing at Sherar’s Falls. Legend has it she out-fished most of the men.

She had seven grandsons, whom she often said were her greatest source of pride. She also had 10 great-grandchildren who may have eclipsed the grandsons in her later years. The highlight of the year for the whole family was spending the Fourth of July in Fox Valley, visiting old friends and retelling stories from a wilder era.

Ann was a loyal fan of the Portland Trail Blazers. She was a feared pinochle opponent and a coveted pinochle partner. She carried a loaded pistol in her purse and often skipped dinner to get straight to dessert.

As she aged, Ann never lost her ability to adjust to modern life. She took classes to become proficient on the computer.

She followed Barack Obama’s every turn in the 2008 campaign. She remained fiercely proud of her frontier roots but, given the choice, would rather have spent the day with a 20-year-old than with someone her own age.

She was preceded in death by her husband and siblings.

She is survived by her daughters, Kay Berry of Bend, Dee Ann Mitchell of Madras and Jeanee McCaulou of Sisters; seven grandsons and 10 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by two nieces who were like daughters, Joy Cook of Sisters, and Susie Coe of Portland, and their six children, and six grandchildren.

Ann’s compassion, loyalty and independent streak will be missed by all who loved her.

A graveside memorial service will be held at the Fox Cemetery on Sept. 11 at 11 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Fox Cemetery in care of Jack Johns, 29009 Highway 395 N., Fox, OR 97865.

Douglas James Nokes

May 24, 1948 – August 25, 2010 After a valiant fight against cancer, Douglas James Nokes passed on during the early hours of Wednesday, August 25th, with his loved ones by his side, and his favorite music playing. He was 62.

Doug never met a stranger as he considered all to be Douglas Nokes friends. The twinkle in his eye, his quick wit and timeless charm were all part of his magnetic personality.

His parents were J. Richard and Evelyn J. Nokes. A Portland native, he graduated from Washington High School, where he was a member of the swim team. He also attended Treasure Valley Community College.

Doug followed in the family tradition working for The Oregonian, where he was a printer for 25 years. Later, he worked for Juniper Fuel and managed several of its stores in Central Oregon, including Plum Fierce in Redmond.

Forever isn’t long enough to hold the ones you love.

A private memorial service will be held at a later time.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest in his name.

Michel Montignac, French diet guru, author McClatchy-Tribune News Service Michel Montignac, a French businessman turned diet guru who believed people could lose weight without counting calories, has died. He was 66.

Montignac died Aug. 22 at a clinic in Annemasse, France.

His website and a website for his daughter, Sybille, confirmed the death but disclosed no details.

Montignac, who struggled with his weight from childhood, was working in the pharmaceutical industry in the late 1970s when he started researching nutrition in search of a way to improve his diet.

The result was a method that rated foods based on their glycemic index, a measure of how much glucose is released into the blood. He reportedly lost more than 30 pounds in less that three months, and by the 1980s his theory had transformed him into a bestselling author.

“Counting calories does not interest me,” he told The New York Times in 1993.

WASHINGTON — Jayne Brumley Ikard, a prominent Washington hostess, died Aug. 27 at age 84. She had emphysema.

Mrs. Ikard served as Newsweek’s first woman bureau chief when she headed its Boston bureau from 1964 to 1967. Later, as the wife of American Petroleum

Institute President Frank N. Ikard, she became one of the capital’s leading hostesses, entertaining presidents, Supreme Court justices, senators and ambassadors.

New York Times News Service Robert S. Ingersoll, who took his business acumen as head of one of the country’s largest manufacturing corporations to the diplomatic table as ambassador to Japan and later deputy secretary of state, died Aug. 22 at his home in Evanston, Ill. He was 96.

Ingersoll was chairman and chief executive of the Chicago-based Borg-Warner Corp. when President Richard M. Nixon appointed him ambassador to Japan in 1972.

He was the first business executive named to the post since World War II. The appointment came at a time of strained relations between Washington and Tokyo, primarily over economic issues. Ingersoll’s company had long had joint ventures and licensing arrangements with Japanese companies. Ingersoll was promoted to assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs in 1974 and a year later was named deputy secretary of state.

Martin Dannenberg, found Nuremberg Laws document, 94

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

It was April 28, 1945, and the war in Europe was in its final hours. Days earlier, Martin Dannenberg, an Army intelligence officer, had seen piles of dead bodies at Dachau, the concentration camp in Germany. He said they were stacked like cordwood.

Now he was in a bank vault, opening an envelope sealed with red swastika embossments. He pulled out a document — four typed, black-bordered pages — signed by Adolf Hitler and three top lieutenants. It proclaimed the Nuremberg Laws.

These laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship; forbade marriage and sex between citizens of “German blood” and Jews; and established the swastika as the German flag while forbidding Jews to display it.

Announced at a rally in Nuremberg in September 1935 and quickly rubber-stamped by the German parliament, they provided the legal pretext for the dehumanizing of Jews that led ineluctably to the piles of bodies Dannenberg saw.

“I had the most peculiar feeling when I had this in my hand, that I should be the one who should uncover this,” Dannenberg said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun in 1999.

“Because here is this thing that begins the persecution of the Jews. And a Jewish person has found it.”

A retired insurance company chairman, Dannenberg died Aug. 18 at age 94 at his home in Baltimore. His wife, Margery, said he had been having health problems since a fall four years ago.

A week after his death, on Aug. 25, the Huntington Library in San Marino, Calif., donated the Nuremberg document to

“I had the most peculiar feeling when I had this in my hand, that I should be the one who should uncover this.

Because here is this thing that begins the persecution of the Jews. And a Jewish person has found it.”

— Martin Dannenberg, man who found Nuremberg Laws document

the National Archives. The confluence of events was coincidence, but the gift marked the end of a long, strange journey for one of history’s most evil proclamations.

Gen. George S. Patton, who led the Third Army in Europe, originally decided to keep the document rather than send it to be used as evidence in war crimes trials, as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the commander of Allied forces in Europe, had ordered. Patton gave it to the Huntington, whose founder had been a close friend of his family.

Then Huntington put it in a bombproof vault, did not display it and for 54 years kept its very existence a secret. Part of the reason for the secrecy seems to have been concerns that displaying it might blur the library’s focus on British and American history and art.

But after the Skirball Cultural Center, a museum dedicated to the Jewish experience, opened in 1996 in Los Angeles, the Huntington, under new leadership, lent the document to it.

Land Continued from B1 There were weekend workshops, said Eric Porter, principal planner with the city of Sisters, as well as a survey sent to residents in 2008 to ask what they would like to see on the site.

The City Council has discussed the issue as well, and amended its comprehensive plan to say that the property should be built with a western theme for business and should develop according to a master plan.

The consultants took this information, along with more input from different groups they met with last week, including developers, the Forest Service, city staff members and business owners.

The hope is to have a plan — including whether building on the site would require further

Death Continued from B1 About an hour into the hike, Blashchishen, who was carrying a 40- to 50-pound backpack, began behaving oddly. As the hike continued, he reportedly fell several times and vomited before he collapsed, began to hyperventilate and eventually stopped breathing.

Poré wrote in his affidavit that staff members called for help from a school nurse only after the boy had stopped breathing.

In the document, Poré points to a number of actions by school staff members that he believes contributed to Blashchishen’s death. Among them: He may not have received enough food to make it through a grueling hike.

Oregon Department of Human Services regulations for wilderness schools require that all students be offered no less than 3,000 calories of food per day. Poré wrote that Blashchishen may have had as few as 400 calories.

When Poré arrived at the scene, nearly five hours after staff members had begun CPR on the boy, and nearly three hours after they had stopped life-saving efforts, he noted that Blashchishen’s skin was still hot to the touch.

In a written statement provided Friday, Kristen Hayes, a spokeswoman for SageWalk’s parent company, Aspen Education Group, said Blashchishen received proper care.

“SageWalk Wilderness School continues to be greatly saddened by the tragic death of one of our students,” she wrote.

“We do not intend to publicly discuss the specifics of the incident during the ongoing investigation nor do we release any staff or student information as a policy, however we can provide assurances that this student

Biomass Continued from B1 County commissioners did not vote on the changes, choosing to send the proposal back to the county’s planning department for a slight revision. The revision will apply the changes only to those developments at least 500 feet from a residential property. Under the existing code, a plant like the one proposed by Biogreen would be allowed to locate on any parcel not adjacent to a residential zone, opening the possibility of locating a power plant less than 100 feet from neighboring homes.

Three La Pine city councilors appeared at the meeting, with Councilor Adele McAfee reading a statement urging approval of the changes. McAfee said the council and the La Pine Planning Commission unanimously approved identical changes a month earlier, and that City Manager Rick Allen will work with county planners to address any issues that might emerge during the required site plan review.

La Pine needs the living-wage jobs Biogreen promises to bring to southern Deschutes County, McAfee said, and La Pine city officials strongly endorse the project.

“This is our community, this is our decision, and the buck stops with us,” she said.

Clark Jackson from the Oregon Business Development Division said the power plant is in line with the goals of his office and the governor’s office for encouraging alternative energy, and it could help lure similar businesses to La Pine.

“We feel that this will be a cat-

transportation studies — by November, he said. Transportation issues are key, he said, because in certain situations developers could be required to do a transportation study, and possibly make costly improvements as well.

Issues unclear “They were potentially about to purchase something that could have a blank check with it,” Porter said, noting that developers could find themselves having to put up stop lights, make highway improvements or any number of things. “It was kind of a scary thing for developers to consider purchasing the property.”

The consultants will also take a look at what should be developed on the site given the current economy, Porter said. There are questions about whether the city wants to extend the downtown area, or

was well cared for, appropriately fed, and provided multiple water and rest breaks during the two-hour hike on the day of the accident.”

Hayes wrote that two staff members trained as EMTs were on the hike, including one who stayed with Blashchishen throughout the hike.

“We are confident that staff took every step possible to ensure the safety of this student, as we have done for every student over the course of our 12 year history,” she wrote.

After Blashchishen’s death, the DHS launched its own investigation and ordered the school to be shut down.

The school has remained closed, Hayes said.

The state tightened its rules on wilderness schools after a 2000 incident in which a 15-year-old student at the Bend-based Obsidian Trails school died while a counselor held him face-down on the ground during a hike.

The school closed several years later, and a civil suit filed against the school by the boy’s mother was settled for an undisclosed amount.

No criminal charges were filed in that case.

Keely West, a DHS spokeswoman, said her agency’s report should be finished in October.

Lake County District Attorney David Schutt said it’s hard to say when he’ll be ready to decide whether to file charges in the case, given the amount of paperwork he needs to review.

In the meantime, Blashchishen’s family is trying to stay out of the spotlight, Gannicott said.

“At this point, I think that they are just going to maintain a low profile and let these independent processes under way play themselves out,” he said.

alyst and an anchor for La Pine, much in the same way Facebook is for Prineville,” Jackson said.

A handful of people expressed opposition to the project, raising concerns about noise, traffic and air quality.

John Williams told commissioners he is concerned the emissions control equipment inside the smokestack will be noisy, and disturb residents of adjoining neighborhoods. Williams said he also took issue with the rush to approve code changes to help Biogreen beat the deadline to qualify for the federal grants.

“It just sets a bad precedent — developers are always in a hurry,” he said.

John Huddle, a La Pine resident and the Democratic candidate for State House seat in District 53, said he wasn’t necessarily opposed to the project, but he is concerned that Biogreen is a startup company with no history of building power plants and receiving much of its funding from federal grants.

County Commissioner Alan Unger said the Biogreen plant is a promising project, and the county should defer to the preferences of the La Pine City Council and Planning Commission.

“I want to move this forward,” Unger said. “Economic development is very important, I think, and I agree with the people who said we need to get things moving in La Pine.”

The County Commission is expected to consider the package of code changes, including the proposed 500-foot setback requirement, in early September.

whether that might compete too much with the existing downtown, which already has vacancies.

The conceptual plan would be pretty general and include latitude about what kinds of uses go where, Bonacker said, and it would not be binding, although it would illustrate what the city finds acceptable.

If the plan is finished by the end of the year as scheduled, and the Forest Service decides not to change the zoning itself, the agency could start work to put the land up for sale in February, Bonacker said.

But if the Forest Service decides to change the zoning on the property itself, or switch the boundaries of the land it wants to sell, he said, it could be a year before the land is auctioned off.

BLM asks science agency to review wild horse management program The Associated Press RENO, Nev. — At the urging of a bipartisan group of House members, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is asking for an independent review of its wild horse and burro program by the National Academy of Sciences.

BLM officials said the twoyear, $1.5 million study would determine whether the agency is using the best science available in managing wild horses and burros on Western rangelands. BLM managers estimate that 38,000 mustangs and burros roam 10 Western states, including Oregon.

The study tentatively set to begin Jan. 1 would focus on

population estimation methods, annual herd growth rates and population control measures, agency officials said in a statement released Friday.

The announcement came a month after 54 House members signed onto a letter that Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, sent to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar pleading with him to halt a series of wild horse roundups under way in the West.

The letter recommended that the National Academy of Sciences be assigned to review the BLM’s plan to cull about 12,000 of 38,000 mustangs and burros from the range and either send

them to long-term holding facilities or put them up for adoption.

Nevada Democratic Reps.

Shelley Berkley and Dina Titus were among those who signed the letter that maintains the gathers are based on a “deeply flawed policy.”

“Nevada’s wild horses and burros are a treasured part of our Western heritage, but we continue to struggle with the management of these herds on public lands,” Berkley said Saturday.

“My hope is that this study will provide a new blueprint for addressing the many challenges we face in protecting wild horse and burro populations in Nevada and other Western states.”

O B Girl critically injured in Tualatin street race PORTLAND — Washington County authorities say a 16-yearold girl was critically injured when the car in which she was a passenger slid into a tree during a late-night street race.

The sheriff’s office said the girl, whose name has not been released, was in a car driven by an 18-year-old Lake Oswego man who got into a race with another 18-year-old.

Deputies said many teens were watching the race on a rural road in the Portland suburb of Tualatin.

A crew with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue had to slice off the top of the car to remove the trapped girl.

The Oregonian reported the transit agency said two internal reviews and an independent external review showed that 48year-old Sandi Day failed to yield right-of-way to pedestrians.

The newspaper said Day could not be reached for comment about the dismissal, which came after four months of police and internal investigations.

Day has been on paid administrative leave and worker’s compensation since she struck five people while making what police say was an illegal left turn near the end of her shift on April 24.

The accident killed 26-yearold Jenee Hammel of Gresham and 22-year-old Danielle Sale of Vancouver, Wash., and injured three others.

SALEM — A judge in the case of a father and son charged in the 2008 bank bombing that killed two Oregon law enforcement officers has blocked prosecutors from using a witness’ voice identification of one defendant.

Marion County Circuit Judge Thomas Hart criticized the dis-

trict attorney’s office Friday, saying the recording played for the witness was too suggestive in leading the witness to identify the voice as that of Joshua Turnidge.

Turnidge and his father, Bruce Turnidge, are to face trial in September on aggravated murder charges in the bombing, which also critically injured a

third police officer.

The witness, Wells Fargo Bank employee Karen Valadez, received a threatening phone call several hours before the blast at neighboring West Coast Bank. About 18 months later, a detective asked her to listen to a recording to see if she could identify the voice as being the same as that of the caller from

the day of the bombing.

Valadez testified that she recognized the clip was taken from a jail conversation. The recording also included use of the name Josh, and Valadez said she learned of the suspect’s name within days of the bombing.

The judge said those factors led him to conclude the identification exam was too flawed.

Some say the only ones worth eating are in New York, but Bend bakeries say their creations hold their own

any people think of bagels as yet one more coffee shop option. They may pick up a bag of Thomas brand bagels at the grocery store now and again or order one for lunch at Big-O Bagels in Bend.

But for some people, a bagel is more than a roll with a hole; it is a delicacy, meant to be cooked, served and consumed with a reverence normally reserved for far fancier foods.

“I’m really a traditionalist,” said Alan Eisenberg of Bend, a self-proclaimed connoisseur of bagels. “I like the old-fashioned varieties: onion, sesame, poppyseed. That, with chive or lox cream cheese, that’s Jewish nirvana.”

Eisenberg has lived in Bend for four years, but was born in the Bronx, in New York City, where bagels are serious business. He holds tightly to the notion that a traditionally prepared bagel — boiled and then baked — is the only round bread that deserves the name. He is not the only one to take this hard-line view and state that there are simply no bagels worth having in Bend, maybe even the whole West Coast.

“I think that the longer you

We need more Jews.”

Despite the lack of faith in West Coast bagels from these

East Coast transplants, there are a few bakers in Bend, many from the East Coast themselves, who are working hard to create the best replica of a traditional New York City bagel they can manage. And as the local population of both East Coasters and Jews has grown, so has the number of shops trying to unlock the bagel magic.

Breathe in rugged beauty of Glacier National Park NORTHWEST TR AVEL

By Janet K. Keeler St. Petersburg Times

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, Mont. — There is a moment on every grand tour that you’d like to stuff into a bottle, its cap shut tight, only to open and experience again in some distant instance when things aren’t going so well. Instead, the smell of the air, the panorama before you, even the feel of a cool breeze can settle into memory to be recalled days, months or years later as the best souvenir ever.

Such are my hopes for the glorious scene at Pray Lake on the east side of Glacier National Park. We have just walked down the hill from the Two Medicine Campground’s amphitheater and a session with Ernie Heavy Runner of the Blackfeet tribe. His talk on what animals taught native people about survival in this rugged land has us thinking about bears. Then again, so do the signs all around that remind us we are in Grizzly Country.

It is nearly 9:30 p.m. and not quite dusk some 3,300 miles north of the equator. The sun will not set for another 45 minutes. We amble to the edge of the slick-calm lake. The Blackfeet call the Two Medicine area “the Backbone of the World,” and we are immersed in that universe as we gaze at 8,271foot Sinopah Mountain, patches of snow still visible. As if on cue, the setting sun lights the mountain’s wizard-cap top orange. The dramatic reflection and color burst reach a

The small lake is clear and cold. The air is that way, too. In late June, and at 4,000-plus feet above sea level, we need sweatshirts. And bug spray. We know bears can be ferocious, but right now the mosquitoes threaten. Suddenly, they are gone. Our fisherman whips one last cast.

We can’t remember ever breathing air so pristine.

In that perfectly peaceful moment, we know Ken Burns got it right. We are experiencing America’s best idea.

Deadbeat husband won’t contribute to household Dear Abby: I am a 40-year-old woman who feels like a single mother. My husband is lazy, has a negative attitude and hasn’t held a job in four years. I provide everything in our marriage — the money, the education for our 8-year-old son, plus I do all the housework, etc.

My husband graduated from a famous university with a bachelor’s degree. I have a master’s degree and am now studying for my doctorate.

When my husband had a job, he would give his money to his parents or spend it on lottery tickets. His parents have more money than mine do.

To me, family is like a bank account into which you must deposit your love, your money and your responsibility. Unfortunately, my husband is always spending — never saving.

There is no love between us.

I think about divorce but worry that my husband will have no house to live in. Maybe I am being too kind. What words of advice do you have for me?

— Y.L. in Beijing, China Dear Y.L.: It’s time to stop worrying about your husband and start thinking about the example he is setting for your son. Do you want him to grow up thinking your household is normal?

Speaking woman to woman, since nothing else has worked it is time to try “tough love.” Your husband will not be homeless — he can stay with his parents until he decides he wants to act like a responsible spouse, finds a job and stops gambling his money away. If he straightens up, you can reconcile. Marriage is supposed to be a working partner-

DEAR ABBY Since nothing else has worked it is time to try “tough love.”

Your husband will not be homeless — he can stay with his parents until he decides he wants to act like a responsible spouse, finds a job and stops gambling his money away. ship, and from where I sit you have pulled the entire load long enough.

Dear Abby: My fiancee, “Mandy,” and I decided to buy a home. (We moved in together last August.) Mandy didn’t qualify to be on the loan, so it is in my name. No matter what I do, she says she feels like the house won’t be “ours” until I put her name on the deed. Abby, a week hasn’t gone by that we haven’t argued about this to the point of not speaking to each other.

I want to marry Mandy, but I would like us to reach a point that we’re able to get along first.

She says we won’t be able to do that if I don’t put her name on the deed. Am I wrong to want to be more comfortable in the relationship before doing that?

If something happened and we didn’t get married, she’d have

as much right to the house as I do — without having paid any money toward it.

— “In Deed” in Atlanta Dear “In Deed”: Listen to your gut, because it’s guiding you in the right direction. A house is one of the biggest investments you will ever make.

Putting Mandy’s name on the deed will not magically fix the shaky foundation of this relationship. You may love her, but please continue to think rationally. It appears she is trying to emotionally blackmail you.

Before entering into ANY contract with Mandy (or anyone else, for that matter), talk to your lawyer.

Dear Abby: I recently reconnected with a friend on Facebook whom I hadn’t seen in 40 years. The photo she posted is from high school. Usually there’s a reason for that, but after meeting her again, she’s still as pretty as I remembered — but she looks like she’s frozen in the 1960s. She desperately needs a “makeover.” How can I politely help my friend update her look with a new hairdo and more flattering makeup? (One of my daughters is a stylist and the other is an aesthetician.)

— Still Smitten in Kansas Dear Still Smitten: Introduce her to your daughters, let nature take its course and the inevitable will happen.

Mendes, Spacey reunite for ‘Richard III’ production The Associated Press LONDON — Kevin Spacey and Sam Mendes are reuniting for a trans-Atlantic production of “Richard III,” producers announced Thursday.

Spacey will play the villainous English king in a production of Shakespeare’s play directed by Mendes, which is set for an international tour in 2012.

The play will form the third and final season of the Bridge Project, which brings together British and American actors on classic plays directed by Mendes.

“Richard III” will open at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music in February 2012, then tour internationally before opening that May at London’s Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey is artistic director.

The two men last worked together on the 1999 film “American Beauty,” which won five Academy Awards, including best actor for Spacey and best direc-

tor for Mendes.

Since then, Mendes — who separated earlier this year from wife Kate Winslet — has directed plays and movies, including “Revolutionary Road” and “Away We Go.” Spacey has combined film roles with running the Old Vic. “Sam is one of the finest directors I have had the pleasure to work with, and to gain this opportunity is beyond my wildest hopes,” Spacey said.

“With such a remarkable character before me, I have a feeling this one is going to be a memorable experience.”

Richard III, who battled for the throne during England’s 15th century Wars of the Roses, is one of Shakespeare’s great villains and has been played by actors including Laurence Olivier and Ian McKellen.

Mendes said it was “a role I think Kevin is born to play.”

Bagels

Bill Kurzman, owner of The Village Baker in Bend, forms a bagel.

Although the bakery doesn’t follow traditional bagel baking practices, the owner has faith in his shop’s product. As proof, he offers the story of a customer who came into the bakery to sing an ode to its bagels.

“I think it’s the customer who gets caught up in the labels,” Kurzman said. “I don’t like to get into those rules. If you like it, you like it. We make what we like.”

Continued from C1

Bagels in history Bagels have been around since as early as the 16th century, according to “The Bagel: The Surprising History of a Modest Bread” by Maria Balinska. Balinska reports that high grain yields at the time had more to do with the advent of the bagel than much else, but the legend crediting bagel-invention as an honor to King Jan III Sobieski of Poland in the 17th century persists in popular folklore.

In any case, by the 1880s when Jewish Eastern European immigrants began arriving in large numbers on the East Coast of the United States, the bagel had become a fixture in their homelands.

By 1907 the bagel was such a Tyler Roemer / The Bulletin desired commodity that Jewish David Cohen boils the bagels before baking them, a traditional bakers in New York City formed way of making them, at Rockin’ Daves Bagel Stop in Bend. the International Bagel Bakers Union, according to Joan Nathan, author of many Jewish food cook- bread or other quick breads. hometown of Detroit, Mich., not books, in an article for Slate.com.

Lillian Mongeau The Bulletin

Two other bakeries in town, Nancy P’s and Sparrow Bakery, make much smaller batches of bagels each day. Both bakeries strive for a traditional New Yorkstyle bagel, boiling and all. None of the bakers denigrated the others’ methods, while still all being sure that their products are the best.

As proof, each offered reports of customer testimony about the deliciousness of their bagels, including a story Kruzman told about a customer who came into the shop and sang an ode to The Village Baker’s bagels.

“I think it’s the customer who gets caught up in the labels,” Kurzman said. “I don’t like to get

into those rules. If you like it, you like it. We make what we like.”

Mensing thinks there’s more to it than that. Growing up Jewish, she said, meant that freshly baked bagels served with capers and lox (cured salmon) were a part of every major family milestone.

“You know, if somebody dies, it would be bagels and schmear, lox and capers,” she said. “A bris?

The same. It’s just there. It’s part of our genetic code.” (A bris is a Jewish ritual circumcision.)

Like some other die-hard bagel lovers in town, Mensing even sometimes breaks down and orders a dozen bagels all the way from Zabar’s or H&H Bagels, which are well-known baker-

ies in New York City. The cost of such an order, $30-$45, is far more than it would cost to buy a dozen local bagels, but Mensing said she sometimes does it anyway. “It’s ridiculous,” she said, “but it’s worth it.”

Mensing said she knows a lot of local bakers are working hard to get the bagels right, but she isn’t sure they can do it no matter how hard they try. She doesn’t blame them, she said, just their location.

“It’s in the (New York City) water,” she said. “I swear I think it’s the water.”

Glacier Continued from C1 That’s good and bad news. The lousy thing is that we won’t be able to experience the entire whiteknuckle drive over 6,600-foot Logan Pass. The upside is that the park isn’t crawling with tourists yet. People flock to Glacier once the Sun Road opens. Lots of folks want to experience one of America’s most scenic (and challenging) drives, and it’s open only about 12 weeks a year. We negotiate most of it and marvel at the engineering feat, and our survival.

We aren’t alone on the road.

Many of the national parks are seeing more visitors, thanks to Burns’ 2009 PBS series and because the shaky economy has kept travelers closer to home.

The parking lots in Glacier are crammed with cars bearing license plates from all Western states, plus Minnesota and Michigan, and a fair amount from faraway Florida.

Glacier, which is celebrating its centennial this year, reports that 500,000 people have visited the park through June, the largest number since 2005. To put that in perspective, more than 9 million people go to the most-visited national park, the Great Smoky Mountains, each year. The Smokies’ popularity is cemented by the park’s proximity to major population centers and its accessibility throughout the year.

Glacier doesn’t even make the top 10 among visited parks, but it is one of the most stunning. A look up at its tall peaks has us thinking Switzerland rather than the United States. It is a destination park, not one that is likely visited on your way to somewhere else.

If you want to fully experience Glacier National Park, you’ve got from June to September to do it.

Beyond those months, the park is open, but only those well-acquainted with snowshoes and roughing it will be comfortable.

Most facilities, including hotels, are closed.

Glacier covers 1 million acres in the northwest corner of Montana, the country’s fourth-largest state in land mass but only 44th in population. The park spreads north into Canada, where it’s called Waterton Lakes National Park. (If you want to visit, don’t forget your passport and be ready to answer questions at the border crossing. You can’t transport fruits and vegetables across; peanut butter crackers are OK.) Glacier’s rugged peaks, lush valleys and 200 lakes, only 100 with names, are the products of glacial movement. When Glacier was designated a national park on May 11, 1910, there were 150 glaciers within its boundaries.

Today, there are about 25, and those are expected to disappear by 2025.

When the glaciers are gone, several park rangers tell us, the name will remain. After all, it’s glaciers that cut the terrain. We learn this on Day 1 during a boat ride on the 10-mile-long Lake McDonald. Look north, says the

If you go LODGING If you are at all entertaining the idea of staying in lodges or camping in the national parks, call soon to make reservations. Reservations are being taken now through 2011, and you can always cancel if your plans change (deposits are refunded up until a few weeks before the date).

Check those details when you make reservations.

The historic lodges fill up quickly.

We called in mid-January for a June trip, and there were no rooms available in the historic Lake McDonald Lodge’s main building, so we booked the nearby motor inn.

At Yellowstone, we could only get one night at the Old Faithful Inn and felt lucky at that.

At Glacier, hotel rates range from $65 to about $300 a night, though high rollers can pay nearly $800 for a suite at the Prince of Wales Hotel on the Canada side of the park.

If you want to stay in one of the historic lodges, expect to pay about $200 a night.

For more information on park lodging, including camping, go to glacierparkinc.com or call (406) 892-2525.

We like where we stayed, but if we go again (and plan further in advance), we will try to get into the main lodge at Lake McDonald and the Many Glacier Lodge. They are at opposite ends of the Going-to-theSun Road.

There are also accommodations outside the park gates.

WHAT TO DO The 52-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road cuts across the park from east to west. It is open from mid-June to about mid-September and is an engineering marvel that shouldn’t be missed. Plan for about three

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 29, 2010 C5 Mother Nature rolls out the wow factor to visiting mortals west of the Many Glacier entrance of the park. When Glacier was designated a national park on May 11, 1910, there were 150 glaciers within its boundaries.

Today, there are about 25, and those are expected to disappear by 2025.

young guide through the vintage wooden boat’s raspy PA system.

When I study the vista, I see how the mountains around the lake rise in a soft U-shape toward the Continental Divide. That shape, the guide says, rather than a V, signifies the slow march of a glacier. In this case, it’s suspected that a glacier more than 2,000 feet thick carved Lake McDonald.

Time to head to the lodge to ponder that.

Historic digs There are many types of accommodations at Glacier, including lodges, motor inns and cabins.

Camping, of course, is one of the most popular ways to stay in the park, and we see people pitching tents and hooking up RVs, both humongous and vintage, in various locations. Glacier is backcountry heaven with more than 65 campsites that can be reached only on foot.

We are neither backpackers nor campers, though the scene at Two Medicine almost converts us.

Almost.

We have two nights in the nearby motor inn of the Lake McDonald Lodge, on the park’s west side, and two nights at the Glacier Park Lodge, at the southeast corner. It was luck that got us those reservations in January. Most rooms are booked a year or more in advance.

The Lake McDonald Lodge was built in 1914, an example of Swiss chalet architecture set on the shores of the lake. The lobby sweeps us off our feet, though it hardly evokes anything that came from the country of yodeling. It is small and compact with dozens of mounted animals staring down. hours if you drive it yourself or longer if you take a tour on a small bus. Other draws of Glacier, besides the stunning terrain, are hiking, backpacking, fishing and camping.

There are many ranger-led programs for adults and children.

Schedules and maps are available at visitor centers and as you enter the park.

ABOUT GLACIER Though the 100-year-old park is open year-round, most facilities only operate from mid-May to late September. Beyond those times, the park attracts cross-country skiers and self-reliant souls.

Summer entry to the park is $25 per car for seven days. A year pass is $35, and an annual pass for the national parks is $80. Much more information is available at nps.gov/ glac. Fodor’s most recent Montana guidebook is also helpful.

THE DOWNSIDE The food is so-so in the park and a bit pricey. There are camp stores where you can buy some essentials that will suffice as morning meals and snacks.

Two restaurants that we found outside the park are worth a visit. Get the huckleberry pie and anything else on the menu at the Park Café in St. Mary, just outside the east entrance on U.S. 89. The cafe is open June through September. Eat lunch late or dinner early; otherwise plan on waiting. Go to parkcafe.us for a funky preview.

For breakfast on the west side of the park, stop by the old-school West Glacier Restaurant. It sort of feels like the 1960s in there, and the prices are good, even for giant pancakes. They also serve lunch and dinner. You’ll pass it on the left as you make your way to the park’s west entrance and Apgar Visitor Center.

Inscriptions in Kootenai, a local American Indian dialect, are carved in the floors, and painted hanging lanterns celebrate more native heritage. A huge fireplace at one end is a popular place to hang out, and it’s cold enough outside to warrant the heat.

We don’t want to leave. Ever.

We wonder if we can get a job stoking the fire. A young staffer routinely stops by with a giant poker that gets the sparks flying.

Perhaps he needs assistants.

One day we drive to Many Glacier Lodge and then on to the Prince of Wales Hotel on the Canada side, just to see. We vow to come back and stay there, too.

From the back of Many Glacier, we see Gem, Swiftcurrent and Grinnell glaciers rising above

Swiftcurrent Lake. They are small, but the entire tableau is breathtaking. A boat ride gets visitors a little closer.

We sit and breathe deeply.

Again, that air.

Back in the car, we head north to Canada. The Prince of Wales Hotel rises on a bluff, framed by a bowl of mountains. There are fewer people here. Late afternoon tea in the Prince of Wales lobby looks out on Waterton Lake and the sweet town nearby. A very cool place to eat cucumber sandwiches.

Glacier Park Lodge, at the southeast entrance of the park, was built about 100 years ago by the Great Northern Railway, and the train legacy remains. The Amtrak station, buzzing with tourists

Prince of Wales Hotel guests partaking of high tea have a gorgeous view of Waterton Lakes National Park, in Alberta. Glacier National Park changes names when it reaches into Canada. The late Louis Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, chose a lovely site for the hotel in 1912: a bluff above Waterton Lake. in the summer, is within walking distance. A flower garden rioting with color leads the way to the lodge.

The rooms are good-sized and the lobby is bracketed by enormous timbers that might have been 800 years old when cut for the project. The large trees that make the cathedral-like lobby were brought into the park from the Pacific Northwest. No local trees were big enough to fit the architect’s vision.

Like many of the historic lodges, Glacier Park is more about the shared experience of nature than private plushness. Bathrooms are small and adequate, beds are comfortable. But the bigger emphasis is on communal spaces.

Great care has been taken to provide windows in public spaces to view the changing sky and light.

There are plenty of modern touches, though. We enjoy latte from the coffee bar, and it’s a relief to get cell phone connections after a few days without.

Glacier Continued from C5 Make sure you do one or the other. We did both.

On a rainy Monday, we let Chelsea do the driving in the vintage bus, the name of which comes from the days when drivers had to “jam” the gears to get the manual-transmission vehicle over the challenging heights. Today, the jitneys have been restored and there’s no jamming the automatic gears, just a smooth ride fueled by clean-burning propane.

Using a headset, Chelsea narrates the sights, and only makes us slightly nervous when she says she is starting her second week of work. Not exactly what you want to hear when someone is steering you toward the Continental Divide on a ribbon of road. But she is more than competent, and on subsequent days, I experience the truth of her words.

“This place just sucks you in.”

We consider canceling our reservations for the nearly eight-hour tour because it is supposed to rain.

We don’t and are rewarded by a nearly empty tour bus, which can hold 17 but only carries seven of us this day. It rains and it doesn’t matter.

Going-to-the-Sun Road takes you past the most glorious scenery of the park, from gushing waterfalls to lush valleys below.

The road is carved right out of the mountains, and there are numerous turnouts where you can stop and marvel. Or simply let someone speedier go by.

They won’t get too far ahead, though, because roadwork slows drivers frequently. A multimillion-dollar project funded by federal stimulus money occasionally brings the road to one lane. Take a deep breath and go with it.

We twice drive the road as far as it is open, and then traverse it from the east, too. It’s a once-in-alifetime experience, and we want to remember every scary turn and sheer dropoff.

The wild kingdom We want to see a bear. Not up close and personal, but from the comfort of a car or through the window of a cozy lodge.

Bears are serious business here, and the National Park Service wants us to be prepared. Clap or sing loudly while hiking; bears don’t like to be surprised. Keep food locked up tight. Never approach a wild animal.

Waterfalls cascade under Going-to-the-Sun Road, a 52-mile white-knuckle drive that’s open only about 12 weeks a year. The historic road was completed in 1932.

There are both black bears and grizzlies in the park, and it seems everyone but us has spied one or the other. We drive with camera ready, just in case. We go to the places where people have spotted them. We watch for bear jams, backed-up traffic that signals an animal sighting.

Still, I am a bit skittish about the prospects. We walk the easy Trail of the Cedars, and every leaf rustle has me looking over my shoulder. On a short hike to Baring Fall near Sunrift Gorge, I turn back when I see a grizzly bear warning sign. I know they are out there and am content to let others get close. My singing voice isn’t that good.

Instead of bear, we see mountain goats of all ages cavorting high on a hill. There are plenty of deer and soaring birds. I think I spot an elk, its huge antlers disappearing into a forest.

I am happy with my mountain goat sighting. Honestly. Though it is a bit irritating when a young boy plops down beside us at a cafe in St. Mary, just outside the park, to tell the tale of the cute cub he just saw walking across the parking lot. Okay, kid, it’s just not in the cards for us.

We accept the fly fisherman and the reflection of Sinopah Mountain in Pray Lake as our gift.

Such a good idea, this Glacier National Park.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 29, 2010: This year, you will have an unusual opportunity to express your vision.

Others respond well to what you put out there. You not only break through restrictions but also help others. If you are single, an intense and special relationship heads in your direction. Say “yes” to the experience. If you are attached, the two of you grow closer than you have been in a long time. TAURUS understands more than you realize.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH A change in mood marks plans. You look at a situation and decide whether to tackle an issue now or later. You come from a rather novel point of view. You see what is going on behind the scenes, but do others? Tonight: Start thinking about Monday.

Organize your thoughts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Finally, you feel liberated. You need to let go and have more fun. Others respond to your energy and sense of direction. They will go along for the ride. Tonight: The world is your oyster — finally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Take some much-needed downtime, knowing when enough is enough. You can only put yourself out like you do if you get

the necessary rest in between.

Make it OK to indulge yourself or do whatever you want. Your creativity soars, allowing for many different restful ideas.

Tonight: Dote on yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Keep communication flowing. How you handle a friend could be more important than you realize. You don’t want to deal with an awkwardness with this person. Realize that you have pushed beyond your limits.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH A must event allows you to take another look at certain key relationships. Be aware of the effort you often give for others.

Though you enjoy helping people feel at home, at a certain point, enough is enough. Tonight: Go off and do for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Listen to what is happening around you. Someone demonstrates understanding, which helps you walk through a door. A resistance will naturally drop, allowing for greater give-and-take. An excursion brings closeness. Tonight: Continue the adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be sensitive to another’s suggestion. Although you might not have cooked up this idea, give it a shot. Only after the experience can you decide if you want a repeat. Sometimes you need to live life as others do.

Tonight: Chat over a favorite meal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHH Others offer what you never thought possible. You wonder how to let someone know that you could be uncomfortable if he or she continues on the same path toward you.

Establish boundaries sooner rather than later. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Accept an invitation that gets you out where you can enjoy friends and loved ones. Worry about your budget another time. Right now, you are being offered a rather unique experience. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You discover how much you can have if you team up with a child or loved one. Your earthy yet adaptable personality adds more grounding and flexibility to a normally erratic situation. Hop in the car for a ride, if you want.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Stay centered, knowing your limitations. Realize what is going on with a family member.

Could you be responding by pulling away? You might have a way that draws many but causes you discomfort.

Tonight: Stay close to home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Keep a conversation moving. You feel good in the company of a friend. Why not hang out? Understand how much you like being with others. Many people will reach out for you. Do only what you want. Tonight: Don’t make it early. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Hendrix vibe still reverberates at his studio Electric Lady Studio provided a unique — and enduring — recording experience

From left: Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s stepsister; Bob Margouleff, a synthesizer wizard who worked with Stevie Wonder; John Storyk, who designed the studio; Lee Foster, the studio manager; and Eddie Kramer, Hendrix’s favored engineer, are reflected in a mirrored hallway at Electric Lady Studios in New York.

By Ben Sisario New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Just down the street from the hot dogs of Gray’s Papaya, on a row of down-market Greenwich Village shops selling used CDs and a certain kind of glass pipe, 52 West Eighth Street is easy to miss. But a small sign marks hallowed musical ground: Electric Lady Studios.

Founded by Jimi Hendrix in 1970, it was an oddity for its time.

Instead of following the usual studio model — a big, impersonal box tended by buttoned-down staff engineers — it was a psychedelic lair, with curved walls, groovy multicolored lights and sci-fi erotica murals to aid the creative flow. Hendrix died less than a month after its opening party on Aug. 26, 1970, but he left libraries of tape from his sessions there, and the list of greats who have worked at the studio includes the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and Led Zeppelin.

Something else about Electric Lady has turned out to be unusual: It has lasted. As a group of engineers and producers noted in a 40th-anniversary celebration Tuesday, most other big-name studios in New York — the Hit Factory, the Record Plant, Sony Music Studios — have shut down in recent years, victims of the recording industry woes or simply of real estate pressure, but Electric Lady has defied the odds by staying alive, and staying top-tier.

Eddie Kramer, Hendrix’s favored engineer and a force in the studio’s creation, has a simple explanation for its longevity.

“In a word: vibe,” he said, sitting in a small lounge by the control booth for one of Electric Lady’s three recording rooms.

“We wanted to create an environment where Jimi could feel really happy, and feel that he could create anything.”

“It was this womblike, beautiful place,” he added, “where he could feel totally relaxed and create the music he wanted.”

Some of the original murals adorn the walls inside Electric Lady Studios.

Original artwork remains on the bathroom walls at Electric Lady Studios. A number of rock ’n’ roll greats including Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder have recorded there.

The South African-born Kramer, whose slicked-back hair, trim goatee and punctilious manner give no indication of his résumé — working with Led Zeppelin, Kiss, the Rolling Stones and plenty more rock giants — was celebrating Electric Lady at a panel discussion organized by the Audio Engineering Society. Like Electric Lady itself, the meeting was an example of megafame hiding in plain sight, with men who have recorded some of the most famous and celebrated albums of the last 40 years yet are unknown to the public.

Seated with Kramer in Studio A, Electric Lady’s subterranean

main room — which still has its original rounded walls and spiral ceiling — were Tony Platt, who mixed AC/DC’s “Back in Black” there in 1980; John Storyk, the architect and acoustician who designed the studio; and Robert Margouleff and Malcolm Cecil, the synthesizer wizards whom Stevie Wonder recruited in the early 1970s. Among the 80 or so audio professionals there, these famous-to-a-few figures overshadowed two panelists with much broader name recognition: Lenny Kaye, guitarist of the Patti Smith Group, and Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s stepsister.

With sentimentality and a precision appropriate for lifelong engineers, they told studio war stories (Jimi’s amp was there, against the wall; Stevie’s drums went right there); made the audience oooh and aaah with slideshow photos of old mixing consoles; and tried to pinpoint what it was about the place that gives it that all-important vibe. The spirit of the studio’s founder was cited more than once, along with the mix of high-tech equipment and mellow atmosphere.

“All the studios you see today come from being a friendly place to make art,” Margouleff said, holding back tears. “That was really what came out of this studio.”

Home away from home For many artists Electric Lady has become a home away from home. The door to the upstairs bathroom has a small hole in it, just big enough to run a cable in there for when Keith Richards

wants to cut his guitar parts in the most private kind of privacy. For Jimmy Page the personal imprimaturs of Hendrix and Kramer made all the difference when Led Zeppelin mixed parts of “Houses of the Holy” there in 1972.

“Eddie Kramer was a damn fine engineer,” Page said in a telephone interview this week. “If he was going to be working on a studio that had Hendrix’s name, he was going to make sure it was a good place with good acoustics so that musicians wanted to play in that room.”

Yet in the world of recording studios, where time is money and inspiration needs to flow for take after take, even intangibles like vibe have a specific function, and the design approach of Electric Lady has become common-

— Eddie Kramer, Hendrix’s favored engineer and a force in the studio’s creation “This was happening in a few pockets all over the world, but none more famous than here with Jimi.”

Ups and downs Electric Lady’s artist-friendly innovations — along with the Hendrix mystique — have helped it survive in an era when large, all-purpose recording studios are giving way to smaller rooms with narrower focus. Echoing the Electric Lady model, many new studios, like Jay-Z’s Roc the Mic on West 27th Street in Manhattan (designed by Storyk) are tailored to the needs of a particular client.

Yet Electric Lady also had its lean years. As with most studios, it suffered as advances in technology allowed anyone to make cheap and reasonably high-quality recordings at home. By the early 2000s it had lost its sheen and nearly closed, but after a renovation and a change in management it is thriving again.

Lee Foster, the 32-year-old studio manager, said that when he took over five years ago, he began going through his record collection and inviting Electric Lady alumni to come back. Before long its rates were back up, and the three rooms were always booked.

Recent sessions have included Eric Clapton, Coldplay, Rihanna, the Strokes and Sheryl Crow.

To make room for the Audio Engineering Society’s meeting, Foster said, the studio ended sessions early. Wednesday it was back to work, with Studio B booked by Kanye West.

Kramer is in Studio A this week. He’s mixing a new Jimi Hendrix album, he said, and he looked excited.

Storyk explained that in addition to the mood lighting, Hendrix called for visionary changes in studio design, like control rooms large enough for artists and engineers to work together closely. Those plans, along with complications like the high water table under the building, made for a protracted and expensive construction.

The studio’s original filing with the Buildings Department estimated its cost $125,000, but it ended up costing about $1 million, said Storyk, who got the Electric Lady job at 22 and has gone on to design numerous studios and performance spaces around the world.

“For the first time an artist was building a studio,” Storyk said.

“It was this womblike, beautiful place where (Jimi Hendrix) could feel totally relaxed and create the music he wanted.”

Edgar retains UFC lightweight title

When an amateur takes on the Sunriver course with a Champions Tour setup, the result isn’t very good

BOSTON — Defending his Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title against the man he defeated to win it, Frankie Edgar won a fiveround unanimous decision over B.J. Penn on Saturday at the TD Garden.

Edgar won the title from Penn via decision in April in a much closer fight than Saturday’s bout, which all three judges scored 50-45.

The 28-year-old Edgar, of Toms River, N.J., is now 13-1.

Penn, a 31-year-old native of Hilo, Hawaii, fell to 15-7-1.

Edgar controlled the bout from the beginning, scoring a takedown in the first 20 seconds. After Penn escaped and got to his feet, Edgar took him down again with 1:50 left in the round.

In a battle between a championship boxer and a champion mixed martial artist, five-time UFC titleholder Randy Couture defeated 11time boxing champion James Toney by submission in the first round of a scheduled three-round heavyweight bout in the co-main event.

With Couture holding Toney in a head triangle, Toney tapped out at 3:19 of the first round.

SUNRIVER — hat happens when a golfer gives his faulty swing some time off from playing the game and returns to take on a golf course fit for a major professional championship?

I found out this past week. It was not

W

pretty.

I was invited by a Crosswater member to play in the club’s annual competition held the day after the final round of the Jeld-Wen Tradition. The setup of the course for the event is easy enough to explain: Every golfer plays the same 7,600-yard length,

ZACK HALL

using the exact pin positions on the identical harder-than-concrete conditions at Crosswater with which some of the best golfers in the world struggled Sunday during the final round of the Champions Tour major championship.

A month of preparing for and reporting on The Tradition left little time for me to play golf. That might have been a minor detriment had I been playing an executive course. Returning after a layoff to play Crosswater using a pro-style setup is really asking for trouble.

By the time I reached the fairway of Crosswater’s No. 8, I saw a red-tailed hawk downing a small snake like a

sportswriter devouring a hot dog. My only thought was just how much the act of nature reminded me of how I was being treated by Central Oregon’s toughest test of golf.

Golfers who have had the opportunity to play Crosswater know the difficulties of the golf course: wetlands, rivers and brutal approach shots all over the place.

But few have the chance to play the course as the Champions Tour pros do.

On this day, I would develop a whole new appreciation of just how good the guys on the 50-and-older circuit really are.

Aspire to climb Mount Thielsen is a relatively accessible hike, but some deft maneuvering is required on the 80-foot spire to the summit MOUNT THIELSEN — glanced up at the exposed rock spire that rose 80 feet straight up into the blue sky.

The decision was easy.

“Yeah,” I said. “Give me the rope.”

David Potter, of Central Oregon’s Smith Rock Climbing Guides, tied a rope around my waist, and Brett Yost took the rope and

MARK MORICAL

climbed up ahead of me to secure it above.

I began to climb the final pitch to the summit of 9,182-foot Mount Thielsen.

We had started just a couple hours earlier, from the Mount Thielsen Trailhead across state Highway 138 from Diamond Lake.

I had heard that Mount Thielsen was not

as aerobically challenging as South Sister, which I had climbed twice before, but that some technical rock climbing was required to reach the summit.

Six of us started out from the trailhead last week on a brisk, sunny morning. Except for myself, all were experienced rock climbers, for which I would be grateful later on.

The hike — 9.8 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 3,782 feet — started out fairly flat through a dense lodgepole pine forest that would have been thicker still if not for an apparent storm that had recently blown through, upending many trees by their roots.

A conference was expanding and splitting into divisions, and nobody knew what would happen to its two most bitter football rivals. Would they stay in the same division or be split apart?

No, this isn’t a tale about Michigan and Ohio State. It’s about Alabama and Auburn, which could have ended up in different divisions if the Tigers had gotten their preference.

“Tennessee was a big game for Auburn, and Georgia of course is a natural rivalry,” former Auburn coach Pat Dye said. “We would have had three big games, with Florida, Georgia and Tennessee every year — and then Alabama.”

Instead, the Tigers went to the SEC West, a move that worked out fine in the long run. Now it’s the Big Ten and Pac-10 that are splitting into divisions — and dealing with all the usual concerns about geography, competitive balance and protecting traditional rivalries.

By John Branch New York Times News Service

MONTREAL — Dinara Safina was ranked No. 1 in the women’s tennis world when the U.S. Open began last year.

Some thought she was undeserving of the lofty spot because she had not won a Grand Slam tournament. But winning her first major title in New York would have cemented her place among the game’s elite.

This year, she enters the Open unseeded and unheralded, ranked 59th as of last Monday.

Among the things she has learned: “How tough it is to climb, and how easy it is to go down,” Safina said, comparing professional tennis with riding a bike in the mountains.

S B Basketball • U.S. run away from Croatia: Kevin Durant scored 14 points and got the United States started on a dominant second-quarter stretch in a 106-78 victory over Croatia in its opening game of the FIBA world basketball championship tournament. Eric Gordon made four three-pointers and had 16 points to lead the Americans, who turned a close game into a blowout by limiting the Croatians to six points in the second quarter. Chauncey Billups finished with 12 points.

Cycling • HTC-Columbia wins Spanish Vuelta opener: HTC-Columbia won the first stage of the Spanish Vuelta Saturday, a team time trial through Seville, handing Mark Cavendish the leader’s jersey. The HTC-Columbia team completed the 8-mile nighttime stage in 14 minutes, 6 seconds. Liquigas-Doimo finished 10 seconds off that pace and the Saxo Bank team of Andy and Frank Schleck was third, 12 seconds off the lead. Today’s second stage is a 107.9-mile run between Alcala de Guadaira and Marbella.

Football • NFL looking at 8th on-field official: The NFL is experimenting with an eighth on-field official at four preseason games. Called a “deep judge,” the official was part of crews working Saturday’s Tennessee-Carolina and New York Giants-Baltimore games. The official was also used at Friday’s Atlanta-Miami contest and is scheduled for Thursday’s Cincinnati-Indianapolis game. The official is positioned in the defensive backfield opposite the back judge.

His primary responsibility is to watch for eligible receivers, but can also help with watching other parts of the field as assignments have changed since the umpire was moved into the offensive backfield. The NFL competition committee will evaluate video of the four games before deciding whether to add the official for the 2011 regular season.

Horse racing • Afleet Express wins Travers in photo finish: Afleet Express held off a fast-closing Fly Down in a thrilling stretch run to win the $1 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in a photo finish. Afleet Express had the lead as the 11-horse field turned for home Saturday, but Fly Down unleased a furious challenge before falling a nose short at the wire. Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver finished out of the top three for his third straight defeat since winning the Run for the Roses on May 1. First Dude finished third, with Afleet Again fourth in the 1 1⁄4-mile “Midsummer Derby.”

Auto racing • F1 leader Webber takes pole for Belgian GP: Mark Webber set his sights on maintaining his Formula One championship lead after taking pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix on Saturday. Webber’s fifth pole of the year put the Red Bull driver in prime position for a fifth victory to extend his four-point lead in the drivers’ standings.

The Austrian team will start from No. 1 on the grid for the 12th time in 13 races. Webber went around the slick Spa circuit in 1 minute, 45.778 seconds to edge Lewis Hamilton of McLaren by just under one-tenth of a second. Robert Kubica of Renault starts third while Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull fills out the second row.

Scotland’s Laird seizes control Pit crew’s gamble through three rounds at Barclays gives Franchitti Dustin Johnson and Chicagoland victory Jason Day are three shots back, and Tiger Woods falls off pace

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

PARAMUS, N.J. — Martin Laird suspected that four straight birdies early in the round and no bogeys had put him in the lead Saturday at The Barclays. When he finally glanced at a leaderboard, it gave him quite a jolt.

And it had nothing to do with the size of his three-shot lead.

The board occasionally shows the projected FedEx Cup standings. Laird, who started these playoffs at No. 95 and was hopeful of reaching the second round, saw his name at No. 1.

“I didn’t think I’d come in here and move that much,” Laird said after his 6-under 65. “I caught a glimpse of the projected FedEx Cup and I got a little shock.”

It was a not-so-subtle reminder that winning goes a long way in these playoffs, and Laird put himself in a great spot. He was at 12-under 201, three shots clear of Dustin Johnson and Jason Day with one round left at Ridgewood Country Club.

A victory for the 27-year-old Scot would move him to No. 1, assuring him a spot in all four majors next year, and making him a serious contender for the $10 million FedEx Cup payoff.

Tiger Woods also has something at stake today, but it most likely won’t be a trophy. After missing only one fairway in each of the first two rounds, Woods hit his opening tee shot off the property and took triple bogey.

He couldn’t get those three shots back and shot 72, putting him nine shots behind. He needs a steady final round just to advance to the second round next week outside Boston.

For Johnson, who has found nothing but hard luck in the majors this year, it will be his second straight tournament playing in the final group. So much for that hangover from the PGA Champi-

Rich Schultz / The Associated Press

Martin Laird watches his shot from the 14th fairway while playing the 13th hole during the third round of The Barclays golf tournament Saturday in Paramus, N.J. Laird leads the tournament. onship, where he was penalized two shots on the final hole when he didn’t realize he was in a bunker at Whistling Straits, knocking him out of a playoff.

Johnson, struggling with a cold and his swing earlier in the week, began to hit his stride on a sunny day in northern New Jersey. On the 616-yard 13th hole, he blasted a 3-wood to about 15 feet for eagle, and added consecutive birdies a short time later on his way to a 64 that gave him a chance to win.

“I definitely put myself into the hunt,” Johnson said.

The good news? Everyone

knows what a bunker looks like at Ridgewood.

Day remains in the hunt, too, although he didn’t help himself on a day for scoring at Ridgewood.

The 22-year-old Australian regained the lead by chipping for eagle on the short par-4 fifth hole, but he simply missed too many putts and struggled enough with his driver — he hit only four fairways — to give it away. Day made five bogeys, one of them on a par 5 on the back nine, and had to settle for a 70.

“Just hit more fairways and I’ll be able to set myself up better at

making birdies,” Day said.

Adam Scott birdied the 18th hole for a 68 and was four shots behind.

On the day before European captain Colin Montgomerie announces his three captain’s picks, it might be pleasing to see a fellow Scot atop the leaderboard against such a strong field. Too bad it’s Laird, who played college golf at Colorado State and never left the American golf circuits. Plus, he has played so poorly all year that he’s not even thinking about the Ryder Cup. Laird was simply trying to get into the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings to qualify for the playoffs, and he’s moving up quickly.

Justin Rose, in his final round before Montgomerie makes his captain’s picks, went off early having narrowly made the cut and shot 65 to join the group at 7-under 206 that included Ryan Palmer, Matt Kuchar, John Senden, Vaughn Taylor and Kevin Streelman.

“I think it’s a tight selection process,” said Rose, who has been quiet since wins at the Memorial and AT&T National. “It’s just been nice to make a little bit of noise and shoot a great round to show him my game is there. I didn’t go out there to prove anything today.

But I’m glad that it worked out. I think it’s a timely round of golf.

Woods was in a tie for 28th, continuing his slide since he opened with a 65 to share the first-round lead.

Four shots behind to start the third round, his 3-wood went straight up in the air, then straight left, over the trees and out-of-bounds. He had to hit another tee shot, then missed a short putt and took triple bogey.

Woods went out in 39 after a bogey on the ninth before he began another reclamation project — birdies on the par 5s, and a 7iron to 8 feet on the 18th hole for another birdie.

The top 100 in the standings — Woods is at No. 112 — make it to the Deutsche Bank Championship, which donates its proceeds to the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Woods likely will need something around par in the final round to get there.

Kane was smiling after rebounding from a 75 on Thursday and a 73 on Friday.

The 15-year veteran’s third round featured spells of light rain and the ever-present mosquitoes.

“Being from Prince Edward Island, we can get some pretty nasty ones, too,” Kane said with a laugh when asked if the bugs were the biggest she’d ever seen.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Michelle Wie and Jiyai Shin shared more than the top of the leaderboard after the third round at the CN Canadian Women’s Open.

Both players suffered plenty of mosquito bites after a rainy round that saw them finish tied at 10 under for the tournament at St. Charles Country Club.

“Actually, they tried to kill me,” laughed Shin, who wiped out Wie’s three-stroke lead with a 3-under 69.

Wie, who recorded three birdies to go along with three bogeys in her even-par round, agreed with her South Korean playing partner.

The native of Hawaii said the winged nuisances affected her game.

“I have to say of everything, the mosquitoes were the hardest to concentrate,” Wie said. “They were pretty bad. But I found out they were a little better on the greens than on the fairways.

“They were very bad on the rough, so I’ll try to avoid that tomorrow.”

Na Yeon Choi drained a 60foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that moved her into a tie for third with fellow South Korean Jee Young Lee and Norway’s Suzann Pettersen at 6 under.

“I used the (mosquito) spray, but I feel like they (got) worse,” said Choi, who posted a 71.

“I think they like the smell.”

Pettersen, the defending champion ranked No. 3 on the World Rolex Rankings, shot a 72.

“Today was just awful for me,” Pettersen said. “But I’m in reach of the top so it was a good day to play bad and hang in there.”

Three Canadians are part of the 73-player field looking for a share of the $2.25 million purse, with $337,500 going to the winner.

Charlottetown’s Lorie Kane was the low Canadian after posting a morning round of 4-under 68 that had her even for the tournament and tied for 26th.

JOLIET, Ill. — A strategy gamble put Dario Franchitti in position to win. And thanks to an uncharacteristic pit stop blunder by Team Penske for points leader Will Power, Franchitti still has a chance at the championship.

Franchitti’s crew saved time on its final pit stop by choosing not to change tires, putting him out in front for a late-race restart. The driver did the rest, holding on to win Saturday’s IndyCar series race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Power still had a shot at the win — until he started running out of fuel with five laps to go and had to make an extra pit stop. He finished 16th, opening the door for Franchitti in the championship race.

“It’s going to be a fight,” Franchitti said. “I think it’s going to be a fight to the wire.”

Power came into Chicagoland leading by 59 points with four races to go. Going into next Saturday’s race at Kentucky Speedway, Franchitti has whittled Power’s lead to 23 points.

“It’s going to be interesting, these last three,” Franchitti said.

Dan Wheldon finished second, followed by Marco Andretti, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan.

Danica Patrick finished 14th.

Power’s crew apparently didn’t get enough fuel in the car to make it to the end of the race during their last scheduled pit stop. It almost certainly cost them a top-three finish, and now his team has to hope it doesn’t end up costing them the championship.

“That was just a mistake that we couldn’t afford,” Power said. “This obviously makes things tougher for the championship, but we’re still in front and we proved how competitive we can be on the ovals. We’ll move on and we will work harder next week at Kentucky.”

Beginning with Chicagoland, the final four races of the season all are on oval tracks, and Power is considered a stronger driver on road courses than he is on ovals.

So he was encouraged by his strong driving performance on Saturday, even if it didn’t get him a good finish.

“I never thought I could race ovals like that,” Power said in a postrace television interview.

But when it comes to racing on ovals, Power might still have some respect to earn among fellow drivers. Wheldon admitted he spent more time working with Franchitti because the veteran was more predictable in the pack.

“It was difficult to drive with Will,” Wheldon said.

“He was not giving me any room at all.”

Dario Franchitti, left, celebrates in victory lane after winning the IndyCar Series auto race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., Saturday.

Franchitti appreciated Wheldon’s help.

“Dan was great,” Franchitti said. “Just pushed me along a little bit.”

Power hardly was racing conservatively to protect his points lead, going three-wide for the lead with Wheldon and Andretti with about 50 laps to go.

With Power in the lead and Andretti stuck to his rear wing, Alex Lloyd spun out with 31 laps to go, bringing out a caution.

That allowed all the leaders to make their final pit stop.

Franchitti’s crew gambled by only taking fuel and opting not to change tires, gaining eight spots in the pits and sending him out in the race lead. Franchitti didn’t know what his crew had planned when he went on to pit road, and said his crew didn’t make the call until he was a few pit stalls from stopping.

Power had a quick stop, but his crew knew right away that they might not have put enough fuel in the car to make it the rest of the way. Now Franchitti senses he has a shot at the title.

“It’s far from over,” Franchitti said.

Patrick was one of five female drivers in the race.

“I just didn’t have enough speed to stay with the lead pack,” Patrick said. “It’s tough to end the event like this because we were really competitive and I thought we’d have more out there tonight.”

It was a strong outing for Sarah Fisher, who briefly led near the race’s halfway point and was able to hang in the top five for several laps — something Franchitti’s crew might have noted before they decided to stay out on old tires. She slipped back in the pack when she had to make a pit stop on lap 113 and finished 15th.

Milka Duno finished 19th, Simona de Silvestro finished 23rd and Ana Beatriz finished 24th.

Rays 3, Red Sox 2 (10 innings) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Dan Johnson stunned Boston again, hitting a leadoff homer in the 10th inning that gave Tampa Bay a win.

Johnson sent a 2-2 pitch from Scott Atchison (2-2) into the right-field stands for his second clutch home run against the Red Sox in three years. Johnson is best known for a game-tying shot off closer Jonathan Papelbon on Sept. 9, 2008, that keyed an important comeback win en route to Tampa Bay’s only AL pennant.

Cubs 3, Reds 2 CINCINNATI — Kosuke Fukudome hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Bronson Arroyo, and Chicago finally ended years of futility against the right-hander by beating Cincinnati.

Fukudome’s homer in the fifth inning sent Arroyo (148) to his first loss against the Cubs since 2007. Arroyo had won his last five decisions against Chicago, including his two starts this season.

Jayson Werth scored on both of Victorino’s hits. Victorino, the center fielder, also threw out Nick Hundley at the plate to end the fifth.

Votto and Pujols are going after MLB’s first Triple Crown since ’67

Japan to face Hawaii for Little League title

By Genaro C. Armas

By Tarik El-Bashir

The Associated Press

The Washington Post

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Hawaii’s offensive punch followed Japan’s stirring win in extra innings to create some high drama at the Little League World Series.

Now, the two teams will meet today to decide who flies home with a World Series title.

Ryo Motegi’s RBI grounder through the infield with two outs gave Tokyo, Japan, a 3-2 win over Kaoshiung, Taiwan, to claim the international title Saturday, before Noah Shackles’ two-run homer to center capped a four-run first for the boys from Waipahu, Hawaii, in a 10-0 win over Pearland, Texas, in the U.S. championship.

Shackles finished two for two with three runs, and lefty Ezra Heleski allowed just two hits for the local Waipio Little League from Waipahu trying to win its second tournament crown in three years. The game ended with one out in the fifth because of Little League’s 10-run rule.

“USA! USA!,” chanted the Hawaii fans afterward. Many held mini-state flags and tea leaves they have been waving in the stands for good luck.

After avoiding elimination four straight days, Hawaii has one more big game to go. Manager Brian Yoshii isn’t making any predictions.

“But I tell you these kids will leave everything on the field and play their hearts out to make their community proud, and the state proud and the West proud,” he said before Shackles whispered his manager to say something else.

“And the United States,” Yoshii said with a smile before replying to his 13-year-old third baseman. “Thank you for covering for me.”

It was the 5-foot-10 Shackles and the 5-foot-1 Heleski — one of the shortest players on Hawaii — who played key roles in shutting down a powerful Pearland squad that hit a tournament-leading eight homers entering Saturday.

Heleski kept them off-balance in striking out six and chipping in with two RBIs. “I couldn’t begin to tell you how proud of these kids I am.

It has nothing to do with what happened results-wise,” Texas manager Mike Orlando said.

“We tried very hard to get the kids fired up after we got behind. I tried to tell them there were 1,000 Little League teams that (would) trade places with you in a heartbeat.”

As Albert Pujols reclined on a folding chair in the visitors’ clubhouse last week, the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman made small talk with teammate Pedro Feliz, thumbed text messages into his cell phone and played with his young son, bat boy Albert Jr. Pujols’s relaxed demeanor, though, belied the pressure the slugger is under as September approaches. Not only is his team chasing Cincinnati for the Central Division title and battling in the thick of the National League wild-card race, Pujols and his Reds’ counterpart, Joey Votto, are battling for the first batting Triple Crown in more than four decades and a chance to join greats such as Cobb, Hornsby, Foxx, Gehrig, Williams and Mantle in one of baseball’s most exclusive clubs.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Pujols said softly when the subject was broached before Thursday’s series opener at Nationals Park. “That’s not what I play for.

If it happens, it happens.”

But after fiddling with his mitt for a moment, Pujols reconsidered.

“It’s pretty special to have guys who have the ability to do it,” he said. “You have to be consistent. If I get that chance, it will be an honor, an unbelievable accomplishment. You have to be on fire from Day One and stay healthy.”

Just 14 players have led their league in batting average, runs batted in and home runs in the same season in the history of the major leagues, and no one’s done it since 1967, the year Carl Yastrzemski batted .326, hit 44 home runs and drove in 121 runs for the Boston Red Sox. To find the last Triple Crown winner in the National League, you’ve got to go back another 30 years, to the Cardinals’ Joe Medwick in 1937.

Through Saturday, Pujols led the NL in home runs (35) and RBIs (95) and was third in batting average (.320) behind Votto (.326). Votto was second in RBIs (92) and tied for second in home runs (32) with Washington’s

Tale of the tape: Joey Votto vs. Albert Pujols The Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto (above left) and the St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols (above right) both have a legitimate shot of leading the National League in home runs, runs batted in and batting average. Here are their numbers through Saturday’s games:

J O E Y VOT T O Batting average: .326 Home runs: 32 Runs batted in: 92

Adam Dunn.

But a slump isn’t all that can derail the bids by Pujols and Votto. So could Atlanta’s Omar Infante. The Braves infielder was batting .342 through Friday’s games but did not have the requisite 502 plate appearances to qualify for the batting title.

That, however, could change if Infante plays in each of the Braves’ remaining games and averages 4.4 plate appearances per contest — difficult but not

Batting average: .320 Home runs: 35 Runs batted in: 95

impossible.

“There’s a reason it hasn’t been done in 43 years,” Dunn said. “For two guys to have a legitimate chance, and the fact that it’s almost September, that’s pretty amazing. They’re both such good hitters, not only for average but for power, too.”

Dunn also said he believes the fact that the Cardinals and Reds are slugging it out for the division title will ensure that neither player takes a single at-bat

Rank in National League: Third Rank in National League: First Rank in National League: First

lightly.

“It obviously helps a lot, that each game matters,” Dunn added. “Both of those guys are their team’s big gun, and if one of them falters, that might eliminate one from the race.”

Pujols’ reluctance to discuss the Triple Crown race has nothing to do with a jinx. Rather, he doesn’t want the pursuit of an individual goal to overshadow the Cardinals’ pursuit of a playoff berth.

“I don’t want to get caught up in it,” he said. “Right now, my main focus is about helping this ball club to win. I don’t want to bring that distraction to my ball club.”

The Cardinals trailed the Reds by four games through Saturday and they were two games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the wild card.

“We have too much to accomplish in the next few weeks here,” he said.

Coach devotes himself to game’s most selfless play Giants instructor visits Salem-Keizer to teach players in the minors one thing — bunting

By Thomas Kaplan New York Times News Service

KEIZER — Joe Amalfitano is an evangelist of sorts. Traveling from farm club to farm club for the San Francisco Giants, he preaches something many minor leaguers have never thought much about: the art of the sacrifice bunt.

Among Amalfitano’s most recent disciples were the SalemKeizer Volcanoes, the Giants’ short-season Class A affiliate. As most of the players took batting practice one day this summer, he stood behind a pitching machine off to the side at Volcanoes Stadium and inspected each one’s bunting technique.

For some players, that would be a charitable description. Some struggled to place the ball near the foul lines — which, in reality, were long pieces of white PVC pipe — and others bunted with too much gusto.

One of those offenders was a newly drafted 23-year-old second baseman, Raynor Campbell, who laid down his bunts, then began to exit the makeshift batter’s box — only to be summoned back by Amalfitano.

“Too hard — get back up there!” he said. “You want to hit it a little bit more on the end.”

So Campbell bunted again.

Other players were similarly chastised.

Minor league baseball is filled with hundreds of coaches and instructors, who counsel players on hitting or pitching, base running or defense. But rare is the coach who has such a singular mission when he walks into a clubhouse.

Amalfitano, 76, has been in baseball for more than half a century. He was a bonus baby for the New York Giants in 1954 and played 10 major league seasons as an infielder. He has coached ever since, managing the Chi-

cago Cubs for parts of three seasons and later manning the third-base box for Tommy Lasorda’s Los Angeles Dodgers for 16 years.

Now he is one of the Giants’ two special assistants for player development, whose mission the past two seasons has been to make sure every minor leaguer in the organization can bunt. He spends about five days with each club.

With the speediest players, he works on bunting for a hit, but a lot of his time is spent on routine sacrifices. Amalfitano gives special attention to the middle-ofthe-order hitters, many of whom have never had to bunt. When they are called up to the majors and find themselves hitting seventh, Amalfitano warned, they need to know how.

He also tries to instill something more fundamental in the players he meets: a certain respect for the gravity of the sacrifice, given that it costs an out. He tells players to imagine an umpire telling them that their team is henceforth allowed only two outs per inning.

“You’d say, ‘What do you mean I only get two outs?’” he said, miming an angry manager about to lose his cool.

Not everyone champions such small-ball techniques, especially those who embrace sabermetrics. When J.P. Ricciardi was the general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, he set a goal of sacrifice bunting fewer than 10 times per season, on the principle that it does more harm (exhausting an out) than good (advancing a runner a single base) in the offense-heavy American League.

The best the Blue Jays ever did was 11 sacrifices in 2003, which set a major league record for fewest in a season. In 2005, the Texas Rangers lowered the record to nine. Amalfitano does not have an answer for people who think sacrifice bunts just waste outs.

“I’ve been in the National League all my life, so I don’t know about that,” he said.

But that night’s game against the Tri-City Dust Devils presented a case study for the use-

fulness of Amalfitano’s work.

With the Volcanoes trailing by a run in the bottom of the ninth inning, up came Campbell, who

had homered earlier.

The Volcanoes put on the bunt sign, and Campbell guided the ball toward first base — not too

hard, but just right. That put the tying run in scoring position, and three batters later, the Volcanoes won the game.

The perfect partnership.

and then working it from there.

Ours was, I think, fairly clear and not very controversial.”

However, the Big 12 didn’t protect rivalries across divisions, so Oklahoma and Nebraska, for example, have played only eight regular-season games in the last 14 seasons.

“Any time you draw a line, there’s someone or something standing right on the other side of it,” Duncan said. “You start making an exception, then where’s the next exception? We’ve stood pretty clear of all that.”

The SEC has a slightly different philosophy. It put Alabama and Auburn in the West, but each team in the West is assigned a team from the East it plays every season. That’s helped alleviate some of Dye’s initial concerns — Auburn still plays Georgia every year.

“Our biggest rivalries were Alabama and Georgia, and then probably Tennessee would have been next,” Dye said. “We really just lost Tennessee, and we play them ... whenever they come back around (in a rotation). It’s been a good format for the Southeastern Conference.”

Both the Big Ten and Pac-10 appear open to that kind of setup, but that’s still just one of many issues that have to be ironed out before the final formats are agreed upon.

“We are trying to look at competitive equality over time. We’re obviously looking at rivalries, no doubt about it, but a little bit of geography,” Ohio State’s Smith said.

“I can’t predict how it’s going to line up because we’re still in the minutiae, but at the end of the day, the kids are going to have great games.”

athletic director Dave Brandon said recently he’d relish the chance to play Ohio State twice in a year, including once in the Big Ten championship game.

But projecting the future is always tricky. When the ACC debuted its football divisions in 2005, Florida State and Miami were kept apart, and it seemed like only a matter of time before they met for the conference championship. Five years later, it still hasn’t happened.

“We all know that success can be quite cyclical,” said Michael Kelly, the league’s associate commissioner for football.

Kelly said Florida State and Miami wanted to keep playing each other but from different divisions, and that’s exactly what has happened. The ACC and SEC both protect certain rivalries across divisions, allowing those teams to keep playing each other annually.

With Miami and Florida State boasting recent national championships, it seemed sensible at the time to separate the traditional powerhouses, but the split ensured that one of the Florida schools would be in a division with Boston College, the league’s northernmost outlier.

The Big 12 took the opposite approach when it formed during the mid-1990s, opting for geographic simplicity by putting its Oklahoma and Texas schools in the same division.

“If you create too much of a situation where fans can’t drive to your away games, I think you lose a level of interest,” former Oklahoma athletic director Donnie Duncan said. “There are all kinds of ways to put these things together.

It depends on establishing criteria

Unlike Boise State, the Horned Frogs have a rich history. They won national championships in 1935 and 1938 and played in six Cotton Bowls, two Sugar Bowls and one Orange Bowl from 1935 to 1958. But the program faltered; its victory over Southern California in the 1998 Sun Bowl stopped a 41-year winless drought in bowl games.

TCU’s athletic director, Chris Del Conte, recently saw a man wearing a T-shirt that chronicled the Horned Frogs’ rise from mediocrity to the Fiesta Bowl. Del Conte said a boy asked the man to explain the shirt because he did not believe there was a time when the program struggled.

“Last year, the BCS game wasn’t the crescendo; it was the jumping point upward,” Del Conte said. “Our quest is a national championship.”

A trip to the BCS title game by Boise State or TCU would have implications well beyond this season and could potentially alter the landscape of college football. It could boost the Mountain West’s chances of landing an automatic BCS berth, and it would give hope to similar programs with big dreams.

“If you play for the championship, that’s a whole other stratum,” Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said.

Of course, the opportunity that comes with a high ranking can quickly vanish. If Boise State stumbles against Virginia Tech or if TCU loses to Oregon State, their conference schedules probably would not be strong enough to make up for the missteps.

Their national-championship hopes will almost certainly be gone, and the skeptics will try make sure they do not return anytime soon.

For now, there is a feeling of opportunity surrounding the Broncos and the Horned Frogs, a sense that the impossible is now possible.

“They have a chance to work their way into the system,” said the former Southeastern Conference commissioner Roy Kramer, one of the architects of the BCS. “Perhaps this is the year.”

Continued from D1 Like so many other leagues, the Big Ten and Pac-10 are learning they aren’t going to be able to address every potential concern.

“Either way we go, there’s some school — us, somebody else, somewhere — it’s inevitable (they’ll be unhappy) with change,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said.

“Hopefully we can do everything we can to protect Ohio State’s interests in change and we’ll do everything we can with that. But at the end of the day, we have to do what’s best for the conference.”

With the addition of Nebraska next year, the Big Ten is adding a championship game and introducing divisional play — and the Pac10 is on the verge of its own divisional split as Colorado and Utah join the fold.

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott says the league could be divided geographically or through some form of a “zipper” alignment in which rivals from the same area — like Southern California and UCLA — could meet every year but be in different divisions.

The latter idea could allow both divisions to have a presence in the L.A. market. Scott says it helps that the league’s existing teams are spread out in pairs in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Washington, Oregon and Arizona.

“We’ve got a lot of logic and symmetry to the way our conference is laid out,” Scott said.

In the Big Ten, there’s speculation Michigan and Ohio State could play in different divisions with their annual game moved earlier in the season. Michigan

Boise State, which began playing in what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1996 and is moving to the Mountain West next year, has finished the regular season without a loss in four of the last six years.

The Broncos’ signature moment was a wild 43-42 overtime victory over Oklahoma in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl. It capped a 13-0 season.

But the novelty soon faded. They started the 2007 season ranked 23rd in the coaches’ poll. In 2008, Boise State was unranked in the preseason, went 12-0 and ended up in the Poinsettia Bowl, their sterling performance not enough to overcome their low preseason status. Still, the team’s success became harder and harder to overlook.

“If we can play well and do what we’ve done consistently over the last four or five years, it does give us an opportunity we haven’t had before,” Boise State Athletic Director Gene Bleymaier said. “It is now time to prove people right.”

Petersen said he used to tell his players to ignore the rankings so they would not be discouraged. This year, he wants them to ignore the polls so they do not become overconfident.

“I think they’re a complete team and also a very motivated team,” said J.P. Giglio of The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., who gave Boise State its lone first-place vote in the AP poll. “You can’t help but be impressed with what they’ve done when they’ve had the opportunities.”

The Broncos return all but one starter from the 14-0 team that beat TCU in last season’s Fiesta Bowl. On Sept. 6, Boise State plays Virginia Tech, ranked No. 6 by the coaches, at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. It also has a home game against Oregon State, which the coaches have at No. 22.

TCU will face Oregon State on Sept. 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Although the Horned Frogs do not have a second marquee nonconference game against an opponent like Virginia Tech, the Mountain West is considered a more difficult league than the WAC.

But the Titans stymied Matt Moore and DeAngelo Williams, with Carolina’s first-team offense still looking for its first touchdown of the preseason despite playing into the fourth quarter against Tennessee’s second- and thirdstringers.

TCU’s Andy Dalton, left, congratulates Boise State’s Kellen Moore after the Fiesta Bowl in January. Boise State defeated TCU 17-10. Both teams have hopes of reaching the Bowl Championship Series national championship game this season.

MINNEAPOLIS — While Brett Favre had an up-and-down 2010 Metrodome debut, his team still got the win.

Favre threw for 187 yards and two interceptions, one that rookie Earl Thomas returned 86 yards for a touchdown in Minnesota’s 24-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.

Favre completed 16 of 26 passes and took a couple of big hits while playing two series into the third quarter. His interception to Thomas went in and out of the hands of Bernard Berrian.

Thomas delivered Seattle’s lone touchdown of the game and also leveled Percy Harvin on a slant over the middle. It was a big night for the heavy-hitting safety from Texas, taken by the Seahawks with the 14th overall pick over Taylor Mays, who was a standout for coach Pete Carroll at USC. “He made a huge play tonight,” Carroll said. “I can’t wait to see it again.”

Seattle’s offense sputtered along as well. Matt Hasselbeck completed nine of 17 passes for 126 yards, 42 coming on a completion to Mike Williams in the third quarter.

MT. WASHINGTON

Boise State and Texas Christian pushed toward the top of the Bowl Championship Series standings last season, only to find there was no room for them there.

Both started the regular season with outsized ambition, finished it undefeated and were rewarded with an unsatisfying matchup against each other in the Fiesta Bowl.

Three days later, in a BCS championship game featuring two teams from power conferences, No. 1 Alabama beat No. 2 Texas, 37-21.

“There was still a perception out there that a team like Boise State doesn’t belong in the elite group of schools,” said Karl Benson, the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference, voicing a sentiment that many TCU supporters would agree with.

No team from a conference without an automatic BCS bid has reached the title game since the current system began in 1998. This fact has stood as an impassable wall at the end of every unbeaten season for teams like Boise State of the WAC and TCU of the Mountain West.

But this season, the portion of the championship dream over which these teams have no control may be finally working in their favor.

The coaches’ poll makes up a third of the BCS standings, and the skepticism that once seemed to limit the teams has been replaced by admiration in the minds of voters.

Boise State is ranked No. 5 after starting last season at No. 16.

TCU is No. 7, a 10-spot improvement from a year ago. The climb to the top is no longer so steep.

“We were a pretty well-kept secret,” Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. “But now I think more people are paying attention.”

Boise State (third) and TCU (sixth) are ranked even higher in the Associated Press poll, which is not a factor in the BCS standings but does indicate how teams are perceived. The Harris Interactive Poll, which makes up a third of the BCS rankings and is released in late September, is voted on by news media members and former players, coaches and administrators. The final third of a team’s ranking is made up of a combination of six computer polls.

“They’re being viewed as programs and not just as teams,” said Wright Waters, the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, which does not have an automatic BCS bid.

“The preseason polls are evidence people have recognized them for what they’ve accomplished. It takes time to get the respect of voters.”

For Boise State and TCU, it has taken time as well as a few marquee victories, some not even their own.

In 2004, Utah went 12-0 and defeated Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, becoming the first team from a conference without an automatic bid to be a part of the BCS. The Utes also went 13-0 in 2008, when they beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

Federer confident heading into U.S. Open

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Riding in a car a few days before the start of the 2010 U.S. Open, Roger Federer was discussing the state of his game during a telephone interview when he suddenly interjected a warning.

“Just so you know, I’m going through the Midtown Tunnel here,” Federer said, “so if we get cut off, I’ll call you back, OK?” Which illustrated two traits: The guy is exceedingly polite — and he knows his way around New York quite well. The latter quality might result from so many extended stays in the Big Apple over the years, sticking around long enough to reach every men’s final at Flushing Meadows since 2004.

If there have been questions raised in recent months about where Federer’s career is headed, there is at least one person who is adamant that it’s far too soon to write him off.

You guessed it: Federer himself.

“As high as my confidence has been the last few years,” Federer said in an interview with The Associated Press, “I don’t feel like I’m any less confident.”

When the U.S. Open begins Monday, Rafael Nadal will try to complete a career Grand Slam, Andy Murray will seek his first major title and Novak Djokovic his second, and Andy Roddick will aim to end an American drought.

And Federer? He gets a chance to show that reports of his demise are premature, that he still possesses the on-court qualities that let him lord over tennis for so long: the slick movement, the sublime forehand, and the pinpoint serve on display in that popular is-it-real-or-fake video catching millions of clicks on YouTube.

“Rafa, Murray and Djokovic are all looking good, too, so I think it’s going to be a U.S. Open with multiple favorites,” said Federer, who announced Saturday that he’s hiring Pete Sampras’ former coach, Paul Annacone.

“But I guess I’m one of the big ones or bigger ones — if not the biggest one — because of my history here over the last six years, making the final each year.”

That run includes five U.S. Open championships, part of his record haul of 16 Grand Slam titles. It also helped Federer accumulate semifinals-or-better

Tennis Continued from D1 There was no outward clue that Safina would tumble so suddenly to relative obscurity. She spent 26 weeks at No. 1 in 2009. She reached the finals at the Australian Open and the French Open, and the semifinals at Wimbledon.

But something nagged. Safina first felt the twinge in the small of her back during the Cincinnati tournament last August. She did not know she had a torn muscle and, ultimately, a stress fracture in her lower back. She used painkillers to help her get to the U.S. Open’s third round, then lost three of four matches to close the season.

“It was tricky, using the painkillers from the U.S. Open until the end of the year,” said Safina, who retired two games into the yearending Tour Championships in Doha, Qatar, where she swapped the pills for injections. “I tried everything to play, but I didn’t think

Roger Federer has made the final of ever U.S. Open since 2004.

2010 U.S. Open at a glance N EW YORK — A look at the U.S. Open, the year’s last Grand Slam tennis tournament: Surface: Hard courts. Site: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Schedule: Play begins Monday. The women’s singles final is Sept. 11; the men’s singles final is Sept. 12.

No. 1-seeded man: Rafael Nadal of Spain.

No. 1-seeded woman: Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.

2009 men’s singles champion: Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, who will not defend his title in 2010 after having wrist surgery in May. 2009 women’s singles champion: Kim Clijsters of Belgium, the first mother to win a Grand Slam title since 1980.

Prize money: Total is about $22.7 million, with $1.7 million each to the men’s and women’s singles champions — plus the possibility of bonus money for the top three finishers in the U.S. Open Series.

TV: ESPN2, Tennis Channel, CBS. Online: www.usopen.org showings at a record 23 consecutive major tournaments, a streak that ended with a quarterfinal loss at this year’s French Open.

Another quarterfinal exit followed a month later at Wimbledon, where Federer has won six titles. While many players would be satisfied or even thrilled to reach the quarterfinals at two Grand Slam tournaments in a row, the world has come to expect so much more from Federer.

“I’m sure he’s highly motivated to kind of get it right after what, for him, are disappointing Grand Slam results — and for other people are very good Grand Slam results,” said Roddick, whose 2003 U.S. Open victory was the last major title for a U.S. man.

That pair of early-for-him exits

by Federer, plus a six-month title drought, plus a brief slip to No. 3 in the rankings for the first time since 2003 (he’s now back up to No. 2, behind Nadal), plus his age (he turned 29 on Aug. 8), led some

to wonder whether he would ever win another Grand Slam title.

Others simply shrugged.

“He’s human, even though he was making results that didn’t seem human the last five, six years,” said Djokovic, whose only losses at the past three U.S. Opens came against Federer, in the 2007 final and the 2008-09 semifinals. “It just proves there’s a lot of players now coming up and not being scared anymore to play their best in the important matches.”

Federer has heard negative talk before.

In 2008, he went through a stretch of — what?! — three Grand Slam tournaments without taking a title, losing to Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinals, then Nadal in the French Open and Wimbledon finals. Fans began sending Federer letters of support and even instructional DVDs to help the cause.

it was so serious. At the end, it was really serious. It was my fault.”

Still ranked second in the world, she reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in January and retired against Maria Kirilenko with a first-set lead. Safina rehabilitated until April. Her season has been a series of fits and starts since — a first-round loss at the French Open, a withdrawal from Wimbledon.

This month, Safina arrived in Montreal ranked 70th and overlooked as a serious contender.

But at 24, she was healthy for the first time in a year, and she said she could regain the form that had made her the world’s best. The U.S. Open, which gets under way Monday, will be the first big test.

“I’ve never been injured,” Safina said. “But every player goes through this, many players, many top players. They go from top to down and back. This is part of every athlete. It cannot be always sunshine and staying No. 1 forever.”

She had just won back-to-back

matches for the first time since January. Her mood was buoyant.

After Safina beat Andrea Petkovic in the first round, she was asked if she felt like the 70th-best player.

“Well, look at the player today, she was (No.) 36,” Safina said. “I look at her ranking and I beat her, so I guess I can beat 35.”

The next day, she beat Nadia Petrova, then ranked 21st, in a tight three-set match, which built confidence in her ability to beat a strong player and to last 2 1⁄2 hours on the court. She lost in the round of 16 to Francesca Schiavone and received a wild-card entry to New Haven, the final U.S. Open tuneup.

Safina may have a better chance at a deep Open run this year than she did last year, when she was ranked No. 1.

“I’m not playing to be (No.) 70,” Safina said. “I’m trying to work to be better tomorrow.”

She paused.

“I just want to be healthy,” she finally said. “There is no other goal.”

How silly did Federer make that all seem? First, he won that year’s U.S. Open. Then, in 2009, he captured his first French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam and tie Pete Sampras’ mark of 14 major titles. And to cap the “comeback,” he regained his Wimbledon championship for record-breaking No. 15.

“You can never count him out.

It seems like every time someone says he’s having a down year or a bad time in his career, he just comes right back and wins two or three Grand Slams in a row,” said Mardy Fish, who lost to Federer in the final of a hard-court tournament in Cincinnati a week ago and is seeded 19th at the U.S. Open. “And there’s really no reason he can’t do that again. He’s the best player to ever play. He’ll go down, in my opinion, with at least two or three more Slams.”

Federer certainly agrees with that assessment.

“I obviously believe I can still win many Slams ... but I don’t have a target I’m chasing, because I go tournament by tournament,” said Federer, who beat Murray in the Australian Open final in January.

“As long as I’m fit and healthy, I know I can win more Slams.”

After losing to Tomas Berdych at Wimbledon, Federer said his leg and back had been bothering him since before the tournament. Now, though, he feels well, thanks in part to rest and relaxation during a nearly two-week vacation by the Mediterranean Sea with his wife and 1-year-old twin daughters.

As he put it: “No problems; no aches and pains; no issues.”

That’s no small feat in tennis these days. The man who put an end to Federer’s 40-match U.S. Open winning streak in last year’s final, Juan Martin del Potro, is not defending the title

because he’s still recovering from wrist surgery in May. The No. 1ranked woman, Serena Williams, is skipping a tournament she’s won three times, citing surgery to repair cuts on her foot that she’s never fully explained. Two-time champion Justine Henin is done for the year with an elbow injury.

The list goes on. Defending women’s champion Kim Clijsters says acupuncture helped her get over a left hip problem that bothered her this month. Maria Sharapova, who won the 2006 U.S. Open, pulled out of a tuneup tournament with a bad foot after having to deal with shoulder surgery and an elbow injury in recent years.

“Injuries will always be a part of any sport. We play a lot of tournaments. You play a lot of matches if you do well. You have different surfaces, which is great about tennis, but on the bodies, for the players, it’s not always that easy,” Clijsters said. “Jet lag, different surfaces, different balls — it’s not always that easy.”

All of which makes it that much more impressive that this U.S. Open will be Federer’s 44th major tournament in a row, the most among active men.

Roddick, to cite one example, is competing in his 10th consecutive major championship. Nadal’s playing in his fifth straight.

“That was a conscious decision when I became No. 1 back in 2004, that I wasn’t going to overplay, and I think it’s because of that plan that I’m still here,” Federer said. “It goes without saying I wasn’t at 100 percent every single Slam I played.”

That said, he issued something of a caution to present critics and future opponents.

“Everybody should know,” Federer said, “what I’m capable of doing when I’m in good form.”

Wozniacki beats Petrova to win in New Haven again The Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. — U.S. Open top seed Caroline Wozniacki won her third consecutive Pilot Pen tennis title Saturday, beating Russian Nadia Petrova 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the final.

The victory capped a good week for the 20-year-old Danish star, who won in Montreal on Monday and heads to New York with four tournament wins this season, the most of any player on tour.

“I feel great,” Wozniacki said. “I have a Tuesday start.

So, you know, I’m on a roll.”

Wozniacki went up 2-0 in the third, after Petrova appeared to pull something in her back and called for a trainer. She double faulted to go down 3-1, but fought back to 4-3. Wozniacki broke her again and served out the match.

Petrova, who received a last-minute wild-card entry into the tournament, was playing her first final since 2008. Wozniacki is 13-0 in New Haven and has now won the tournament more than any player except Venus Williams, who took four consecutive titles between 1999 and 2002.

In the men’s final, Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky won his second tournament of the year Saturday, beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 3-6, 63, 6-4. Stakhovsky is unbeaten in four ATP finals, including a win in Hertogenbosch this year.

D8 Sunday, August 29, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Along the ridge, Thielsen came into view, and it looked even more impossible to climb than it did from the highway.

How does one negotiate such a narrow tip of rock?

Thielsen Continued from D1 Eventually the trail, as it rises above the tree line, comes to a long ridgeline offering dramatic views. To the north, we could see the rugged green hills of the Umpqua National Forest, with the Three Sisters far in the distance.

To the south, the steep, rugged south rim of Crater Lake shot into the sky. Mount Bailey towered over Diamond Lake to the west.

Along the ridge, Thielsen came into view, and it looked even more impossible to climb than it did from the highway. How does one negotiate such a narrow tip of rock?

The west slope of Thielsen, typically covered in winter and springtime by snow, was nothing but a massive deposit of gray and red scree.

According to www.skimountaineer.com, a few hundred thousand years ago, Thielsen was a broad shield volcano similar to Mount Bailey. But heavy glaciation — including three ice ages without an eruption — has eroded Thielsen down to its spire summit. Also left behind are several unique formations of solidified magma, some resembling ancient European castles.

After four miles, the Mount Thielsen trail connects with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. From there, the trail changes from dirt to pumice, becoming steeper and steeper.

Soon the pumice gives way to small to large pieces of shale — which made for slow going for our group of climbers.

As the shale pieces became larger, the trail became fainter.

We chose our route carefully, checking rocks to make sure they were not loose, which could send us tumbling down the slope.

I began using my hands more and more as the route became even more precipitous.

Finally, we came to a comfortable resting spot below the 80-foot technical climb to the summit on the south face. We stopped for a while and enjoyed the views. The north side of Thielsen drops straight down, about 1,000 feet to the tiny Lath-

Crosswater Continued from D1 The round — which started on a cool, clear morning — began with the par-4 10th hole, playing at a mere 412 yards. Not surprisingly after not playing for a month or so, I popped up a 3-wood, just making the fairway, then hooked a 3-hybrid into the left rough.

The tall grass was like chopping out of an Iowa cornfield, and it took two shots just to get to my putter. Brilliantly, I had spent no time on the practice putting green before the round — a decision that I would pay for on the lighting-fast 10th green.

From about 15 feet, I blew past the hole by about seven feet. I missed the comeback putt, leaving me another five feet. I missed again. Gil Morgan averaged fewer than 25 putts per round at the 2010 Tradition, and I already had four through one hole.

Little did I know then that the 10th would be one of the better holes I would play.

I double bogeyed the ridiculously long 11th hole, which was playing 480 yards. The 12th was a disaster, too.

I did finally start to show some signs of life on the par-3 13th hole, which was playing at about 160 yards. My tee shot was not great, as I pushed a 7-iron over the green

Above, Pearl Stark, of Bend, admires the view from the top of Mount Thielsen last week. At right, climbers make their way up toward the summit spire of Mount Thielsen.

Climbing Mount Thielsen

rop Glacier, Oregon’s southernmost glacier, according to www. skimountaineer.com.

I was relieved that we had brought the rope.

Others made their way up to the summit before me with no problems. This was hardly rock

climbing to them. The last 80 feet is considered Class 4 climbing, which means some might need a rope and others might not, according to Yost.

With me tied to the rope, Yost climbed up ahead and secured a “hip belay,” passing the rope

around his waist and wedging himself between two solid rocks.

This way, if I fell during the climb, he and the rocks would support my weight and I would fall back with nothing more than some rib pain from the rope around my waist riding up.

I could feel the rope support me as I climbed, much like a rockclimbing harness. The first part was not so bad. I found plenty of hand- and footholds, checking to make sure the rocks were not loose before grabbing on. I came into a crack in the rock, nearly got stuck, but worked my way out.

Suddenly, I reached a spot where I had to move to my left — but a huge boulder was in my face, and only a tiny spot on which to stand was available to the left. Below was a drop of 2,000 feet.

This was the crux of the 80foot pitch.

For about 30 seconds I was paralyzed with fear, before I put my trust in the rope and Yost.

I placed my foot on the ledge, then found some handholds on the other side of the boulder, and

and right of the hole. But I did end up with a makable par putt — which I missed, of course.

But on this day, bogey would be a great score.

Good drives on 14 and 15 were erased by a painfully bad short game.

Then came the par-5 16th hole, which was playing at roughly 600 yards. The hole tore up the pros during the final round of The Tradition, due in part to an almost inaccessible pin tucked in the frontleft corner of the green. I was about to suffer the same fate.

From 115 yards out I hit the sweetest wedge I would hit all day.

Sadly, after I talked a little trash to my playing partners, my ball dropped just short of the crest of the green’s false front, and I helplessly watched the ball roll back toward me in the fairway. Still, I got up and down for bogey.

I missed a 3-footer for bogey on the 17th hole. But on 18 I had little trouble with the forced carry, some 230 yards over wetlands from the back tee on the par 4, leaving a 6-iron from the fairway.

I pulled the approach a little left, near the greenside bleachers, but otherwise it was not a bad shot.

Still, with the 18th green running like a Jamaican sprinter, I made double bogey.

A par on the first hole — using driver, wedge, and two putts, just like the pros — gave me reason to

think I was turning things around.

And by this time I thought I had become accustomed to the greens, which were like putting on a sheet of glass.

Suddenly, after all that grinding, my swing started to give out completely. And the sheer length of every hole eventually led to overswings. I lost my ball after popping up my tee shot on No. 2.

On No. 3, I hit a grounder.

I had no problems with the forced carry over wetlands on the par-4 No. 4, a gorgeous hole with a shallow green surrounded by wetlands. But I made a mess of it from there.

The massive carry over the Little Deschutes River on the fifth hole got the best of me, and I left a divot — with a driver mind you — so deep that, if left unreplaced, it could have been filled with water and turned into a national park.

Afternoon winds worked

against me on the par-5 sixth hole, not that it would have mattered after I sliced a tee shot into deep rough. From there I hit into yet another hazard.

Perhaps amazingly, I did not to turn a single club into a pretzel.

The par-3 seventh brought another shank. Then came the hole I had been dreading — the par-4 No. 8 — a 427-yard beast that starts with a 260-yard forced carry over wetlands. A head wind made the task even tougher.

Nobody in our foursome made the carry, nor did anybody make it in the foursome behind us. I was not even close.

Finally we reached the final hole of the round, the par-5 No. 9. It took three shots to get on the massive green and three putts to get home.

In other words, par for the course for me on this day.

Directions: From Bend, drive south on U.S. Highway 97 for about 75 miles.

Turn west onto state Highway 138. The Mount Thielsen Trailhead is located on the right side of the highway, across from Diamond Lake. (About a two-hour drive from Bend.) The mountain is located in the 54,267-acre Mt. Thielsen wilderness.

Season: July though September Length: 9.8 miles round trip, four to six hours Elevation gain: 3,782 feet (the 80-foot summit pitch requires technical Class 4 climbing).

Klamath Falls Greg Cross / The Bulletin

I pulled my way up.

The rest was fairly easy, but I had to ask if I was actually at the top.

“Yes!” High-fives ensued.

The view from the summit was unsurpassed, but perhaps even more intriguing was the evidence of lightning strikes. According to www.wilderness.net, Thielsen is believed to be struck by lightning more than any other Cascade peak. Fulgurite — small, glassy burns caused by lightning — can be seen on rocks at the summit.

We needed just about three hours to reach the top, and we remained on the cramped summit for about 15 minutes — just the six of us occupied most of the space up there.

Coming down the summit pitch (tied to the rope once again) was easier, and I felt more confident.

But the hike down is always the hardest, and it put my knees to the test.

We negotiated our way down

carefully. Eventually, we could “punch scree,” letting our shoes dip into the loose ground as we descended the steep slopes.

We were back at the trailhead by 2 p.m., making it a 5½-hour round trip. By contrast, I had needed eight hours to make it up and down South Sister.

Everyone seemed to love Thielsen, a climb that is relatively accessible to reasonably fit outdoor enthusiasts but is not swarmed by hundreds of climbers.

For those with limited rockclimbing experience, I strongly recommend going with experienced climbers who can secure others safely to a rope.

Otherwise, you might find yourself looking up at that craggy spire, just 80 feet from the summit, wishing you had that rope.

JOHN COSTA

‘Bomfog’ from local candidates

M

y introduction to politics as a journalist began two steps up from an errand boy for a senior reporter in Albany, N.Y., the capital of the Empire State.

I wrote a lot of fillers for the inside pages, fetched a lot of coffee, learned a lot, and laughed a lot.

That was the era of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who was fond of press conferences in which he proclaimed endless high-minded intentions with little or no real substance. Usually attending these conferences was a reporter from one of the New York City dailies.

As Rocky was effusing, the veteran reporter would cynically whisper to the press corps, “Bomfog.”

Bomfog, I later learned, was the acronym for “brotherhood of man, fatherhood of God.” In other words, the governor really had nothing to say, but dressed up his intellectual vacuum with layers of concern for mankind while invoking a deity. It was hilarious until you considered that the man in front of you came from a family that controlled a lot of the world’s wealth.

Bomfog is the word that came to mind when I read Bulletin reporter Nick Grube’s story in the Thursday newspaper on the Bend City Council election races, which will be decided in November.

In it, the candidates offered some of the reasons voters should support them.

Rockefeller could take lessons from this gang.

Here is some of the inspiration — with no names attached, at least now — from the candidates in Grube’s story: We need to capitalize on our tourism market and be creative in bringing new jobs here.

We should make infrastructure a spending priority.

We need to change the culture on the city council, whatever in Sam Hill that means.

We need a more diversified economy.

We need to create programs that help small business.

We need to bring corporate business experience to the city budget problem.

We need to encourage people to buy local products.

Is there anything wrong with any of these nostrums?

Of course not.

Who could disagree, without challenging mom, apple pie and the flag?

But once you get past the good feeling, you realize that nothing specific and meaningful has been said.

This is just the beginning of the 2010 general election campaign, and the candidates will get a number of opportunities to sell themselves.

But I am willing to bet that if you asked citizens in Bend what the most important issues are, they wouldn’t respond with these lovely wishes. And in that way, they are similar to voters across the state and nation.

It was reported in Friday’s Bulletin that the latest state revenue forecast has us another $375 million down for the next biennium. That means we now have a state general fund budget hole of $1.3 billion for the current biennium.

And on Wednesday, The Bulletin reported that Deschutes County’s unemployment rate climbed to 14.8 percent from 14.1 percent. So, my guess is that voters will want to know what steps candidates would take to cope with reduced city spending in this terrible recession.

Based on what rationale, what programs exactly would be cut? Which services would survive, and which would end? Name them.

What taxes would you increase to preserve what you believe to be fundamental? And how much? Be specific.

On the other side of the community ledger, who wouldn’t want more jobs or a more diversified wage base?

But, what kinds of companies should we be recruiting here and what are we prepared to offer them? And at what cost?

What would you do to further invest in higher education on Central Oregon, which is perhaps the best long-term investment that can be made?

Would you give it city land or city revenue, and how?

As British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once supposedly said to President George H.W. Bush, “this is no time for the wobblies.”

It sure isn’t, and candidates at every level need either to be specific or be rejected.

It’s as simple as that.

After Mozart’s death,

AN ENDLESS

CODA

By Daniel J. Wakin • New York Times News Service

Direct medical evidence? None. Autopsy? Not performed. Medical records? Nowhere to be found. Corpse? Disappeared. Yet according to a recent article in an academic journal, researchers have posited at least 118 causes of death for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

A modest industry of medical speculation has grown up around the subject, evidence of our fascination with what cut down great creative artists in history. In Mozart’s case published speculation began within a month of his death in 1791, and musicologists, physicians and medical scholars have regularly joined the fray ever since.

Dr. William Dawson, a retired orthopedic surgeon who is the bibliographer for the Performing Arts Medical Association, decided to organize the

theories. He examined most of the 136 entries in the association’s database dedicated to Mozart’s death, a list by no means comprehensive.

“Reviewing the publications on this topic finds many of them to be confusing, complicated, conjectural and contentious,” Dawson, an emeritus professor at Northwestern University’s medical school, wrote in the latest issue of the association’s journal, Medical Problems of Performing Artists. His conclusion is not surprising: Contro-

versy will rage on, unabated.

With direct evidence lacking, researchers have had to rely mainly on accounts by Mozart’s widow, Constanze Mozart, and her sister, Sophie Haibel, given some decades later. Evidence also comes from an undated document by Mozart’s son Karl Thomas and from a description — again, decades later — by a Viennese doctor who spoke to the physicians who treated Mozart in his final days.

See Mozart / F6

The life of Mozart 1756 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is born in Salzburg, Austria, on Jan. 27 1761 A 5-year-old Mozart writes his first minuets.

1764 He composes his first three symphonies and several sonatas.

1767 Mozart writes his first opera, “La Finta Semplice.”

1781 He begins work as a freelance composer.

1782 Mozart marries Constanze Weber in Vienna. She bears six children, but four of them die shortly after birth.

1785 He composes his string quartets.

1786 “The Marriage of Figaro” premieres in Vienna.

1787 He completes the opera “Don Giovanni.”

1788 Mozart writes three symphonies.

1790 The opera “Cosi Fan Tutte” premieres.

1791 Mozart composes “The Magic Flute” and Requiem. On Dec. 5, Mozart dies of a fever at age 35 and is buried in an unmarked grave.

The exact cause of death is still not clear.

Salem’s grip on gambling

T

his will be remembered as the year Oregonians at least talked in earnest about shaking up state government.

Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s Reset Cabinet has reminded tax-

payers that they can’t support Rolls Royce services indefinitely on a Yugo budget. Gubernatorial candidate Chris Dudley has suggested privatizing some government functions, most notably the sale of hard liquor. And soon, thanks to the initiative process, Oregonians will debate the state’s domination of another “sin” business: gambling.

One of the seven measures on November’s ballot would allow the construction of a $250 million resort and casino on the site of the Multnomah Kennel Club. Twenty-five percent of gross gambling revenues would be divvied up by public schools, counties, state police and other government services. The casino’s backers emphasize this and other potential benefits, including, they say, 2,500 permanent jobs. But there’s no denying that such a project would fundamentally shift the gambling landscape in Oregon, whose constitution prohibits nontribal casinos. Currently, raking in gambling loot is a privilege enjoyed almost exclusively by the state and Indian tribes.

Complicating the casino effort is the failure of a second, companion initiative to qualify for the ballot.

That initiative would have amended the constitution’s casino ban. Citing a recent legal opinion, backers of the Multnomah County project now believe that voters have the right to approve a casino without tinkering with the constitution. No doubt, the courts will settle the issue after voters have their say.

But before any of that happens, Oregonians can expect a heated debate not only on the Multnomah County casino but also on the wisdom of allowing nontribal casinos to compete with the state’s cash cow. We’ve taken no position yet on Measure 75 and won’t today. But its backers have a point: Why should the state and the tribes get all the fun?

We understand the concerns of people who oppose gambling, no matter who profits from it. We’re not particularly thrilled by it either. But gambling opportunities in Oregon abound already. The state operates an enormous network that includes about 12,300 video lottery terminals stationed helpfully in premises with liquor licenses.

Traditional games like scratch tickets, Powerball and Megabucks, meanwhile, are available at minimarts, supermarkets and other stores throughout the state. If Oregonians want to gamble away their savings, they can do it already — without even taking the trouble to drive to a tribal casino — thanks to their own government.

You could also argue, we suppose, that the state must guarantee a kinder, gentler gambling experience consistent with its mission “to earn maximum profits for the people of Oregon commensurate with the public good.”

As far as we know, there is no push to do away with the lottery — at least none on par with the effort to get the OLCC out of the liquorselling business ... Rather, private investors simply want to participate in a profitseeking enterprise that is now, strangely, dominated by a government agency.

Such a notion, however, is as naive and incoherent as the Oregon Liquor Control Commission’s dual mission to limit the harm done by hard liquor even as it sells the stuff.

To be sure, some lottery proceeds support treatment for problem gamblers. But the lottery treats its real mission — getting gamblers into seats and money into machines — very seriously. The lottery’s 2008-09 Annual Performance Progress Report makes this clear. Following a decrease in video lottery sales in 2009, due in part to the state’s smoking ban, the agency responded as any private business would: by “working to introduce new terminals, games and prize structures that should help rebuild sales levels.”

Meanwhile, the lottery spends lots of money “aggressively reinforcing” its products’ “brand message through advertising campaigns.” It even uses focus group research to tailor its message, for instance by emphasizing “green” projects supported with gambling revenue.

And why not? As last year’s performance progress report acknowledges, “the lottery is unique in that its primary mission is to earn profits versus providing some form of government service.”

As far as we know, there is no push to do away with the lottery — at least none on par with the effort to get the OLCC out of the liquor-selling business (which, like gambling, isn’t what most people consider a core government service). Rather, private investors simply want to participate in a profit-seeking enterprise that is now, strangely, dominated by a government agency.

Measure 75, which would allow only one privately owned casino to share in the spoils, may or may not be a good idea. But the underlying question is certainly worth debating.

My Nickel’s Worth Vote for Stiegler

Vote for Conger

Listening to the media

West of Bend lies 33,000 acres of land known as the Skyline Forest. This belt of green is the view that all of us in Bend enjoy. Formerly the Bull Springs Tree Farm, the property was logged for timber long ago and is now important habitat for wildlife and public recreation, while still offering the potential for sustainable timber harvests and job creation.

Because of House Bill 2228, the owners of the property, Fidelity National of Jacksonville, Fla., can sell the forest to the Deschutes Basin Land Trust rather than break up the land into smaller parcels which would be useless for future timber harvests and wildlife habitat.

Rep. Judy Stiegler championed the legislation, turning a stalled plan into a win-win for Central Oregon.

Rep. Stiegler brought all the interested parties together: the leadership of the House, Central Oregon Land Watch, Deschutes Basin Land Trust and Fidelity National to devise a workable plan that would preserve this important resource.

The result was a bill that allows Fidelity National to sell the land to the Deschutes Basin Land Trust at “timber land” prices rather than at “development” value, keeping the land on the tax rolls.

Having a representative that can bring disparate groups together to work out reasonable solutions is a huge benefit to our community. As a consensus builder, Judy Stiegler gets things done, and we should keep her working for Bend.

Michael Graham Bend

Recently, I attended the National Federation of Independent Business annual Small Business Summit in Sunriver. As a small business owner and a former NFIB member, I was very disappointed in Rep. Judy Stiegler’s presentation.

She offered no solutions or relative information on small businesses or the current economic status of Oregon. She was also very unreceptive to the concerns and questions of her constituents.

One small business owner raised an honest concern. He felt offended by the false representation that if Measures 66 and 67 passed, his taxes would only go up by a minimal amount.

Upon seeing how much his taxes had increased after the passage of 66 and 67, he realized that what he had been told was untrue. He politely asked Rep. Stiegler to explain her position and respond. She refused to directly answer his question and instead simply stated, “We will just have to agree to disagree.”

On the other hand, her opponent, Jason Conger, delivered a great presentation that offered myriad sensible solutions and was very welcoming to any questions that the members inquired of him. We need to vote for someone like Jason Conger who understands what it takes to support small businesses and is willing to discuss the concerns that his constituents bring to him.

Dan Cardot Bend

Charlie Ringo’s recent letter blasting conservatives as well-meaning but gullible dupes made me wonder why he says we are the “Kool-Aid drinkers.” He claims the “far right media types” just want to create hatred for the Obama administration.

Liberals hate Fox and Limbaugh because even controlling 99 percent of the news media, Fox, which is only one news organization, has more viewers than all the rest! Same for Limbaugh.

They are popular simply because they agree with most of the country, not the other way around. Ratings don’t lie!

When I dislike a certain program, I ignore it. I certainly don’t write about it to the local editor. I get my news from a variety of sources.

Sometimes I even get my knowledge of events from the politicians themselves. When Eric Holder says he hasn’t read Arizona’s new law, I believe him.

I don’t need Fox to tell me how stupid that is. Or when Obama quotes Saul Alinsky, then takes over General Motors, do I need Limbaugh to tell me what to think? No! How about The New York Times reporting that the 9/11 attack wasn’t based on religion, it was “just mass murder?” Uh-huh! I’ll try harder to use left-leaning media to get my opinions and leave the Kool-Aid for others!

Perhaps it’s time for Americans to have a Voter Bill of Rights

S

ince this is possibly the most depressing August in the history of summer, I feel compelled to point out a brighter side of the news.

In Arizona on Tuesday, Republican voters totally rejected the Congressional candidacy of State Sen. Pamela Gorman (“conservative Christian and a pretty fair shot”), whose TV ad showed her firing a machine gun at an undisclosed target.

Only about 5,000 people in the district thought sending Pamela Gorman to Washington would be a good plan. And it was 110 degrees that day, so a number of those might have been hallucinating.

The winner of this primary was Ben Quayle, son of Dan and Marilyn, whose campaign was flagging until his parents each sent out e-mail blasts urging people to vote for their son. That put him over the top with a whopping 14,266 votes.

Quayle may have been the beneficiary of a notable trend in this week’s elections: victories by people whose mothers helped them campaign. Rick Scott, the rich-guy gubernatorial candidate in Florida, won a surprise upset after he sent his mother to

represent him in the final debate. Clearly, the voters were thinking that being forced to listen to another debate would be bad, that mothers were good, and therefore Scott deserved to be the Republican nominee for governor.

We do not pay much attention to races for governor in any state other than our own. But it’s going to be hard to resist watching to see if Florida wants to put its fate in the hands of a guy who looks like Lex Luthor and once ran a company that admitted defrauding the government of $1.7 billion. It’s right up there with the machine-gun woman.

The big trend among Republicans is voting out the incumbent, even if said incumbent is a Republican. In their primaries, the Democrats tend to go for the status quo. This makes sense, since the Republicans are looking for a way to show they’re angry, angry, angry while the Democrats are too terrified of the Republicans to do anything but hunker down.

In response, the Republican establishment is in identity denial. John Boehner is vowing that if his party wins a major-

GAIL COLLINS ity in the House, he will run things differently than either Nancy Pelosi or her Republican predecessor, the evil dictator John Boehner. And of course, Sen. John McCain just notched up a triumph in Arizona, running against Sen. John McCain.

The Democrats aren’t much better — unless you think it’s a good plan for Robin Carnahan, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Missouri, to be calling her opponent “the very worst of Washington” for supporting the same financial services bailout that President Obama and most of the Democrats in Congress backed. Really, the way these people are fleeing their parties, you’d almost think neither side has any clue of what to do to

resuscitate the economy.

Instead of running as part of a group with a shared ideology and agenda, candidates run biography ads that stress their sterling character. A deprived childhood is always good. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Florida, ran as the son of a struggling single mother even though his particular single mother was also the local congresswoman.

This stuff is completely useless for the voters, since party affiliation is actually the only reliable indicator of how a candidate will behave in office. TV ads about prior achievements and moral integrity will tell you virtually nothing about what someone will do once he or she is elected.

I speak from experience, as a person who voted for Eliot Spitzer for governor.

And of course we have the general nasty-tone trend, as evidenced by the way Republicans desperate for an applause line grab onto the “mosque at ground zero.”

This kind of thing gets worse in August when, absent a good hurricane, the media has very little to talk about. I blame the

failure of celebrities to melt down when we need them most. If only Al and Tipper Gore were getting divorced because Tipper fell in love with Tiger Woods. Or if the woman who got caught putting a cat in a garbage can had been American. Really, anything about cats is good.

Maybe the citizenry should demand a Voter Bill of Rights.

Article One: Freedom from being forced to choose between two dreadful candidates when the temperature is higher than 90 degrees.

Article Two: Candidates cannot talk about their childhood beyond attesting that they had one.

Article Three: Candidates are required to list all the really serious issue disagreements they have with their party. If they reach six, they should find a different ticket.

Article Four: Less talking about mosques.

Article Five: More cat stories.

O The short-sighted defense cuts H

istorian Barbara Tuchman characterized the events leading up to World War I as the “Guns of August.”

While there is no statistical evidence that wars break out any more often in late summer than in other seasons, the world was torn apart twice during the 20th century: in early August 1914, and then again on Sept. 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Maybe it is the effects of the heat, or the sense of urgency to do something before the cold of winter; but nonetheless, we’ve also seen a lot of late-summer violence the last few decades.

Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990, leading to an American-led air campaign and ground war in early 1991 that demolished the Iraqi army. On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 radical Islamic terrorists took down the World Trade Center complex and hit the Pentagon — the worst foreign attacks on the continental United States since the British burned much of Washington, D.C., in 1814.

What can we learn from these dogday cataclysms?

First, for all the rising prewar tensions, the general slaughter to follow was mostly unforeseen. Experts thought August 1914 would lead only to a war “over by Christmas” - not 500 miles of trenches from the North Sea to Switzerland, and

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON 8 million combat dead by 1918. Even after Hitler invaded Poland in a lightning strike, no one dreamed that more than 50 million deaths would follow.

Second, these late-summer bloodbaths usually followed from the initial impression of aggressors that they would face few consequences. After the Munich Agreement, Hitler had no reason to believe that gobbling up Poland would lead to a world war rather than more of the same appeasement.

Saddam Hussein had no idea that the United States would react to a far-away border dispute by mobilizing a global coalition against him, and by bombing large swaths of Baghdad. Likewise, few imagined that nine years after 9/11, American troops would still be fighting in Afghanistan to keep the Taliban - the former hosts of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida — from returning to power.

In short, grand professions of peaceful intent in the face of global tensions, or even noble indifference to dictato-

rial aggression, instead ensure that war follows.

Finally, in the ensuing wars the United States lost thousands of soldiers when it was not well prepared — and far fewer when it was. There was almost no American military in 1914 and little more when we declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungry in 1917.

America was once again woefully unarmed in 1939, when Germany started the European war, and not in much better shape when attacked by the Japanese in December 1941. As a result, in both of its victorious world wars the United States lost tens of thousands of troops.

A fully armed and mobilized volunteer American military forced Iraqi forces out of Kuwait with relatively few losses. And even in the long current slogs in Iraq and Afghanistan — for all the heartbreak of their terrible human costs — fewer American soldiers have died than in single past battles like the Meuse-Argonne or Iwo-Jima.

In short, America never went to war regretting that it was overarmed and overprepared.

We should keep such bothersome late-summer history in mind this August. The world is once again heating up with the weather. Iran boasts of its new nuclear reactor — with more to come.

A nuclear North Korea keeps threaten-

ing South Korea. Hezbollah and Syria are arming to teeth with new missiles.

And an assurgent Turkey is seeking an updated version of its Ottoman imperial past. Meanwhile, the United States has unsuccessfully reached out to firebrand leaders such as Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Syria’s Bashar Assad, while drifting away from its Indian, Israeli and European allies.

More worrisome, in times of 1939-like recession and staggering deficits, the United States is understandably talking of massive cutbacks in its military. Nations never reduce defense expenditures because they want smaller militaries, but because in tough times the public shortsightedly thinks that money is better spent on social programs at home.

The combination of provocative rivals abroad, our president’s constant assurances that the United States has been at fault in the past and wants to reach out to enemies in the future, and probable defense reductions should remind us to tread carefully this late summer.

Unfortunately, the past Guns of August teach us that war may be looking for those who are not looking for war.

“Of all the offspring of time, Error is the most ancient, and is so old and familiar an acquaintance, that Truth, when discovered, comes upon most of us like an intruder, and meets the intruder’s welcome,” Mackay wrote, adding that “a misdirected zeal in matters of religion” befogs the truth most grievously.

You can have an opinion on the New York mosque, for or against. But there aren’t two sides to the question of whether Obama is a Muslim.

As Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

He ran as a man apart — Joe Biden was enlisted to folksy him up — and now he must deal with the fact that many see him as a man apart. Too lofty to pay heed to the daily bump and grind of politics, Obama has failed to present himself as someone with the common touch. Obama is the victim of the elevated expectations he so skillfully created in 2008.

He came as a redeemer and then — tied up in W.’s Gordian knots, dragged down by an economy leeched by wars and Wall Street charlatans — didn’t redeem. And nothing bums out a nation that blows with the wind like a self-appointed messiah who disappoints.

Mosque opponents sound like al-Qaida I

s there any doubt about Osama bin Laden’s position on the not-atground-zero mosque?

Osama abhors the vision of interfaith harmony that the proposed Islamic center represents. He fears Muslim clerics who can cite the Quran to denounce terrorism.

It’s striking that many American Republicans share with al-Qaida the view that the West and the Islamic world are caught inevitably in a “clash of civilizations.” Anwar al-Awlaki, the Americanborn cleric who recruits jihadis from his lair in Yemen, tells the world’s English-speaking Muslims that America is at war against Islam. You can bet that al-Awlaki will use the opposition to the community center and mosque to try to recruit more terrorists.

In short, the proposed community center is not just an issue on which Sarah Palin and Osama bin Laden agree. It is also one in which opponents of the center are playing into the hands of al-Qaida.

These opponents seem to be afflicted by two fundamental misconceptions.

The first is that a huge mosque would rise on hallowed land at ground zero. In fact, the building would be something like a YMCA, and two blocks away and apparently out of view from ground zero.

This is a dense neighborhood packed

NICHOLAS KRISTOF with shops, bars, liquor stores — not to mention the New York Dolls Gentlemen’s Club and the Pussycat Lounge.

Why do so many Republicans find strip clubs appropriate for the ground zero neighborhood but object to a house of worship? Are lap dances more sanctified than an earnest effort to promote peace?

And this is an earnest effort. I know Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan — the figures behind the Islamic community center — and they are the real thing. Because I have written often about Arab atrocities in Darfur and about the abuse of women in Islamic countries, some Muslim leaders are wary of me. But Abdul Rauf and Khan are open-minded and have been strong advocates for women within Islam.

The second misconception underlying this debate is that Islam is an inherently war-like religion that drives believers to terrorism. Sure, the Islamic world is

disproportionately turbulent, and mullahs sometimes cite the Quran to incite murder. But don’t forget that the worst brutality in the Middle East has often been committed by more secular rulers, like Saddam Hussein and Hafez alAssad. And the mastermind of the 1970 Palestinian airline hijackings, George Habash, was a Christian.

Remember also that historically, some of the most shocking brutality in the region was justified by the Bible, not the Quran. Crusaders massacred so many men, women and children in parts of Jerusalem that a Christian chronicler, Fulcher of Chartres, described an area ankle-deep in blood. While burning Jews alive, the crusaders sang, “Christ, We Adore Thee.”

My hunch is that the violence in the Islamic world has less to do with the Quran or Islam than with culture, youth bulges in the population, and the marginalization of women. In Pakistan, I know a young woman whose brothers want to kill her for honor — but her family is Christian, not Muslim.

Precisely because Palestinian violence has roots outside of Islam, Israel originally supported the rise of Hamas in Gaza. Israeli officials thought that if Gazans became more religious, they would spend their time praying rather

I

than firing guns.

President George W. Bush was statesmanlike after 9/11 in reaching out to Muslims and speaking of Islam as a religion of peace. Now many Republicans have abandoned that posture. Some say that it is not a matter of religious tolerance but of sensitivity to the feelings of relatives to those killed at ground zero. Hmm. They’re just like the Saudi officials who ban churches, and even confiscate Bibles, out of sensitivity to local feelings.

On my last trip to Saudi Arabia, I brought in a Bible to see what would happen (alas, the customs officer searched only my laptop bag). Memo to Palin: Should we learn from the Saudis and protect ground zero by banning the Quran from Lower Manhattan?

For much of American history, demagogues have manipulated irrational fears toward people of minority religious beliefs, particularly Catholics and Jews.

Many Americans once honestly thought that Catholics could not be true Americans because they bore supreme loyalty to the Vatican. Today’s crusaders against the Islamic community center are promoting a similar paranoid intolerance, and one day we will be ashamed of it.

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

MAUREEN DOWD the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim. His father was a Muslim.

The seed of Islam is passed through the father, like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother.”

Graham added: “The teaching of Islam is to hate the Jew, to hate the Christian, to kill them. Their goal is world domination.”

A poll last week by the Pew Research Center tracked a strange spike in the number of Americans who believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that Obama is a Muslim. And even the ones who don’t think he’s a Muslim don’t necessarily believe he’s a Christian.

The percentage of Americans who now believe that our Christian president is a Muslim has risen to 18 percent. It was 12 percent when Obama ran for president and 11 percent after his inauguration.

Just as some Americans once feared that John Fitzgerald Kennedy (who was a Catholic) would build a tunnel to Rome, now some fear that Barack Hussein Obama (whose name sounds scary) will build a tunnel to Mecca.

In “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds,” a history of such national follies as England’s South Sea Bubble and Holland’s Tulip Frenzy, the Scottish historian Charles Mackay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.”

He also concluded that people are more prone to believe the “Wondrously

Muslims need a leader to bridge divides just saw the movie “Invictus” — the story of how Nelson Mandela, in his first term as president of South Africa, enlists the country’s famed rugby team, the Springboks, on a mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup and, through that, to start the healing of that apartheid-torn land. The almost all-white Springboks had been a symbol of white domination, and blacks routinely rooted against them. When the post-apartheid, black-led South African sports committee moved to change the team’s name and colors, Mandela stopped them. He explained that part of making whites feel at home in a black-led South Africa was not uprooting all their cherished symbols. “That is selfish thinking,” Mandela, played by Morgan Freeman, says in the movie. “It does not serve the nation.”

Then speaking of South Africa’s whites, Mandela adds, “We have to surprise them with restraint and generosity.”

I love that line: “We have to surprise them.” I was watching the movie on an airplane and scribbled that line down on my napkin because it summarizes what is missing today in so many places: Leaders who surprise us by rising above their histories, their constituencies, their pollsters, their circumstances — and just do the right things for their countries.

I tried to recall the last time a leader of importance surprised me on the upside by doing something positive, courageous and against the popular will of his country or party. I can think of a few: Yitzhak Rabin in signing onto the Oslo peace process. Anwar Sadat in going to Jerusalem.

And, of course, Mandela in the way he led South Africa.

But these are such exceptions. Look at Iraq today. Five months after its first truly open, broad-based election, in which all the major communities voted, the political elite there cannot rise above Shiite or Sunni identities and reach out to the other side so as to produce a national unity government that could carry Iraq into the future. True, democracy takes a long time to grow, especially in a soil bloodied by a murderous dictator for 30 years. Nevertheless, up to now, Iraq’s new leaders have surprised us only on the downside.

Will they ever surprise us the other way? Should we care now that we’re leaving? Yes, because the roots of 9/11 are an intra-Muslim fight, which America, as an ally of one faction, got pulled into. There are at least three different intra-Muslim wars raging today. One is between the Sunni far right and the Sunni far-far right in Saudi Arabia. This was the war between Osama bin Laden (the far-far right) and the Saudi ruling family (the far right).

In Iraq, you have the pure Sunni-versus-Shiite struggle. And in Pakistan, you have the fundamentalist Sunnis versus everyone else: Shiites, Ahmadis and Sufis. You will notice that in each of these civil wars, barely a week goes by without one Muslim faction blowing up another faction’s mosque or gathering of innocents — like Tuesday’s bombing in Baghdad, at the opening of Ramadan, which killed 61 people.

In short: The key struggle with Islam is not inter-communal, and certainly not between Americans and Muslims. It is intra-communal and going on across the Muslim world. The reason the Iraq war was, is and will remain important is that it created the first chance for Arab Sunnis and Shiites to do something they have never done in modern history: surprise us and freely write their own social contract for how to live together and share power and resources.

But it will be impossible without Iraqi Shiite and Sunni Mandelas ready to let the future bury the past.

This is also why the issue of the mosque and community center near the site of 9/11 is a sideshow. The truly important question “is not can the different Muslim sects live with Americans in harmony, but can they live with each other in harmony,” said Stephen Cohen, an expert on interfaith relations and author of “Beyond America’s Grasp: A Century of Failed Diplomacy in the Middle East.”

Indeed, the big problem is not those Muslims building mosques in America, it is those Muslims blowing up mosques in the Middle East. And the answer to them is not an interfaith dialogue in America.

It is an intrafaith dialogue — so sorely missing — in the Muslim world. Our surge in Iraq will never bear fruit without a political surge by Arabs and Muslims to heal intracommunal divides. It would be great if President Barack Obama surprised everyone and gave another speech in Cairo — or Baghdad — saying that.

Americans are going mad in herds WASHINGTON — t the Bunch of Grapes bookstore on Martha’s Vineyard, the sojourning President Barack Obama bought a few books, including “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. It was for his daughter, but it may have also conjured a sweet memory for the beleaguered president. Only a couple of years ago, when he was campaigning, Obama inspired comparisons with the noble lawyer Atticus Finch.

Now, after flipping about on some hot-button issues, most recently the plan for an Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero, he’s more likely to be painted by disillusioned supporters as Atticus Flinch.

The president also bought “Freedom,” a new novel by Jonathan Franzen about a dysfunctional family in America. This is apt, since Obama is the head of the dysfunctional family of America — a rational man running a most irrational nation, a high-minded man in a lowminded age.

The country is having some weird mass nervous breakdown, with the right spreading fear and disinformation that is amplified by the poisonous echo chamber that is the modern media environment. The dispute over the Islamic center has tripped some deep national lunacy. The unbottled anger and suspicion concerning ground zero show that many Americans haven’t flushed the trauma of 9/11 out of their systems — making them easy prey for fearmongers.

Many people still have a confused view of Muslims, and the president seems unable to help navigate the country through its Islamophobia.

It is a prejudice stoked by Rush Limbaugh, who mocks “Imam Obama” as “America’s first Muslim president,” and by the evangelist Franklin Graham, who bizarrely told CNN’s John King: “I think

4. “Tough Customer” by Sandra Brown (Simon & Schuster)

The effect of war’s aftermath on soldiers as they try to readjust to civilian life has become a recurring theme in crime fiction during the past decade.

In “The Whisperers,” John Connolly uses his series about the volatile private detective Charlie Parker to show a different side of the stress and fears that soldiers cope with returning from Iraq. Connolly has expertly straddled the mystery and the horror genres in his series, paying homage to both but never allowing the supernatural to overpower his realistic story. Now, without taking sides about the politics or the ethics of the war in Iraq, Connolly delivers a thoughtful, measured tale that is empathetic to the returning soldiers without preaching. His ninth novel illustrates how an “issues” thriller should never lose sight of being a thriller first with the issues woven into the fabric of the story.

For almost three decades beginning in 1936, many African-American travelers relied on a booklet to help them decide where they could comfortably eat, sleep, buy gas, find a tailor or beauty parlor, shop on a honeymoon to Niagara Falls, or go out at night. In 1949, when the guide was 80 pages, there were five recommended hotels in Atlanta. In Cheyenne, Wyo., the Barbeque Inn was the place to stay.

A Harlem postal employee and civic leader named Victor H. Green conceived the guide in response to one too many accounts of humiliation or violence where discrimination continued to hold strong. These were facts of life not only in the Jim Crow South, but in all parts of the country, where black travelers never knew where they would be welcome.

Over time its full title — “The Negro Motorist Green Book: An International Travel Guide” — became abbreviated, simply, as the “Green Book.” Those who needed to know about it knew about it. To much of the rest of America it was invisible, and by 1964, when the last edition was published, it slipped through the cracks into history.

Until he met a friend’s elderly father-in-law at a funeral a few years ago, the Atlanta writer Calvin Alexander Ramsey had never heard of the guide. But he knew firsthand the reason it existed. During his family trips between Roxboro, N.C., and Baltimore, “we packed a big lunch so my parents didn’t have to worry about having to stop somewhere that might not serve us,” recalled Ramsey, who is 60.

He is among the writers, artists, academics and curators returning a spotlight to the guide and its author, emblematic as it was of a period when black Americans — especially professionals, salesmen, entertainers and athletes — were increasingly on the move for work, play and family visits.

Civil rights In addition to hotels, the guide often pointed them to “tourist homes,” private residences made available by their African-American owners. Ramsey has written a play, “The Green Book,” about just such a home, in Jefferson City, Mo., where a black military officer and his wife and a Jewish Holocaust survivor all spend the night just before W.E.B. DuBois is scheduled to deliver a speech in town. The play will inaugurate a staged-reading series on Sept. 15 at the restored Lincoln Theater in Washington, itself once a fixture of that city’s “black Broadway” on U Street.

Julian Bond, the civil rights leader who is now a faculty member at American University, will take on a cameo role. Bond recalled that his parents — his father, a college professor, became the first black president of Lincoln University, in southern Pennsylvania — used the book.

“It was a guidebook that told you

“There will be a day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published.

That is when we as a race will have equal opportunities and privileges in the United States.”

— Victor H. Green, author of “The Green Book,” a guide for African Americans on the road during segregation not where the best places were to eat,” he said, “but where there was any place.”

In November, Carolrhoda Books will release Ramsey’s “Ruth and the Green Book,” a children’s book with illustrations by the award-winning artist Floyd Cooper. It tells the story of a girl from Chicago in the 1950s and what she learns as she and her parents, driving their brandnew car to visit her grandmother in rural Alabama, finally luck into a copy of Green’s guide.”

Most kids today hear about the Underground Railroad, but this other thing has gone unnoticed,” said Ramsey. “It just fell on me, really, to tell the story.”

Historians of travel have recognized that the great American road trip — seen as an ultimate sign of freedom — was not that free for many Americans, including those who had to worry about “sunset laws” in towns where black visitors had to be out by day’s end.

For a large swath of the nation’s history, “the American democratic idea of getting out on the open road, finding yourself, heading for distant horizons was only a privilege for white people,” said Cotton Seiler, the author of “Republic of Drivers: A Cultural History of Automobility in America,” who devoted a chapter of his book to the experience of black travelers.

William Daryl Williams, the director of the School of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of Cincinnati, in 2007 organized a traveling exhibition he called “The Dresser Trunk Project,” in which he and 11 other architects and artists used the

“Green Book” to inform works that incorporated locations and artifacts from the history of black travel during segregation. Williams’ own piece, “Whitelaw Hotel,” referred to a well-known accommodation for African-Americans in Washington and included several pages from the “Green Book.”

Lonnie Bunch, director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, a co-sponsor of “The Green Book” play reading, said the presence of the guide into the 1960s pointed out that at the same time people were countering segregation with sit-ins, the need to cope with everyday life remained.

He added: “The ‘Green Book’ tried to provide a tool to deal with those situations. It also allowed families to protect their children, to help them ward off those horrible points at which they might be thrown out or not permitted to sit somewhere. It was both a defensive and a proactive mechanism.”

A book and a play Although Green’s initial edition only encompassed metropolitan New York, the “Green Book” soon expanded to Bermuda (white dinner jackets were recommended for gentlemen), Mexico and Canada. The 15,000 copies Green eventually printed each year were sold as a marketing tool not just to black-owned businesses but to the white marketplace, implying that it made good economic sense to take advantage of the growing affluence and mobility of African-Americans. Esso stations, unusual in franchising to African Americans, were a popular place to pick one up.

Bunch said he believes African-American families are likely still have old copies sitting in attics and basements: “As segregation ended, people put such things away. They felt they didn’t need them anymore. It brought a sense of psychological liberation.”

Theater J in Washington, which specializes in Jewishtheme plays, is a co-producer of “The Green Book” reading.

The “inconveniences” (as Green genteelly put it) of travel that African-Americans encountered were shared, albeit to a lesser extent and for a briefer period,

by American Jews. In Ramsey’s play the Holocaust survivor comes to the tourist home after he’s appalled by a “No Negroes Allowed” sign posted in the lobby of the local hotel where he had planned to stay.

“The Jewish press has long published information about places that are restricted,” Green wrote in his book’s introduction, adding, “There will be a day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published. That is when we as a race will have equal opportunities and privileges in the United States.”

The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, and Green ceased publication.

home to Maine. Unlike some of his fellow soldiers, Damien had returned “just fine.” The young man had “a good war;” he didn’t feel guilt over fighting, wasn’t haunted by the deaths of some of his friends and was thinking of reenlisting. Parker’s investigation uncovers the suicides of other recently returned members of Damien’s unit, and a smuggling ring dealing in ancient Iraqi artifacts being moved between Maine and Canada. The stolen treasures or at least one in particular may have supernatural powers that can drive a thief crazy. That’s something that Parker, who has visions of his deceased wife and daughter, can understand better than anyone.

Connolly’s intensely dark vision adds a rich foundation to “The Whisperers.” Parker continues to battle villains much worse than the demons that haunt him. Parker and his associates, Louis and Angel, gay hit men who are partners in life and work, continue to be up for the challenge whether evil comes from the greed of men or from centuries-old spirits.

Connolly, who lives in Dublin, continues to show his affinity for American noir with “The Whisperers.”

Johnny Cash’s daughter writes astute memoir “Composed: A Memoir”

by Rosanne Cash (Viking, 244 pgs., $26.95)

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

In every memoir there’s a moment of truth, a sudden proving ground. It’s like that high note hidden in the melody of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the one that separates the real singers from the amateurs, from the weekend warblers. In a celebrity memoir, it marks the spot at which the story does or doesn’t catch fire, the point where we know we’re in the presence of an honest and grounded soul — or just another famous person trying to get even more attention.

In “Composed,” the rock-solid, heart-wise autobiography

by Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, that moment arrives in a 10-page stretch commencing on page 145. The author is discussing her singing voice, about which she has long harbored doubts and insecurities — and who wouldn’t, with Johnny Cash’s brushednickel baritone in the house?

— and she reflects on the competition.

Patsy Cline, she writes, was “wicked and fabulous.” Cline “lived a life utterly her own, messy and self-defined, and it all fed and merged with that voice.” Emmylou Harris possesses a “high, lonesome, elegiac tone, the pierce and warble, the crystal beauty, the tears under snow.” Her own voice, Cash confesses, strikes her as “darker and roomier, damp and yearning, something more untamed and imperfect.” That’s more than just nifty writing.

It’s truth — a crooked but sturdy truth, the kind of truth that anchors this special book and marks it as one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.

Yes, Cash comes from a well-known family and makes her living in the entertainment business, but “Composed” is really about her spiritual growth as a daughter, a sister, a mother, a lover, a wife and an artist. It’s about living “as a beginner,” which is, she says, one of her goals: to be open to life’s crazy changes, to be vulnerable enough to feel — but not so raw and unprotected that you’re knocked silly by the blows.

Cash, who has carved out

a career as a songwriter and performer, in the immense shadow of her father, knows all about blows. Her parents split up when she was young; her father and other family members have struggled with addictions; she has endured heartache, humiliation, divorce, brain surgery. “Composed” is a record of how she came through it all — with her head held high, with her sense of humor intact, with her fierce belief in music and love undiminished.

If you want gossip, you won’t find it here. Cash provides no seamy, titillating details about her father’s drug-fueled rampages as a young man; for that, you’ll have to watch “Walk the Line,” the 2005 film about Johnny Cash, a production for which Rosanne Cash has only contempt.

And she’s dignified and reticent as well about her divorce from singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell. “Composed” is about writing scores — not settling them.

Mostly it’s about the pain of loss and the power of a great song to mitigate that loss.

It glows with Cash’s love for her father, mother and stepmother, June Carter Cash, and her respect for the soul-lifting power of the American song catalog.

This, then, is a self-help book in both senses of that phrase.

It’s about helping yourself learn how to heal and to grow — and letting time and forgiveness do their work — but it’s also about helping yourself to another serving of music.

It’s about stepping up to the battered old table across which are spread the gorgeous melodies and poignant lyrics of the songs our fathers and mothers sang, and finding a slotted spoon and digging in.

Memory is the force behind suite of stories

Novel’s intrigue is messy but good

“Memory Wall”

by Anthony Doerr (Scribner, 246 pgs., $24)

“Death Echo”

by Elizabeth Lowell (William Morrow, 392 pgs., $24.99)

By David l. Ulin Los Angeles Times

By Lezlie Patterson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

This time, it’s boats and Russian espionage.

Elizabeth Lowell seems to love her research and delves into different worlds and interests with each one. In “Death Echo,” the bad guys are Russian and she spins a web that is so complicated to follow that it’s often difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys. In fact, you may not be sure exactly what happens until the entire fiasco is summarized for Mac and Emma at the end.

Cynicism permeates the story, as it does in many of Lowell’s books. Of course in the world of espionage and government agencies, perhaps that’s just a reality.

It certainly is in Mac and Emma’s world.

Mac is a former special ops guy whose unit was betrayed by the CIA. Emma is a former CIA agent, who got tired of the constant danger.

So now Emma works for St. Kilda’s, the private agency that has provided the heroines or heroes for the last several Lowell novels. She’s been investigating the disappearance of several yachts, and St. Kilda’s, as well as an unnamed government agency, is particularly alarmed when a yacht arrives in the Seattle area that is a duplicate of one of those missing ships.

This concern is exacerbated by the unnamed agency’s information that this new yacht will be used to somehow destroy a U.S. city. Emma is given seven days to find out which city will be destroyed, by whom and how.

Mac, a yacht captain, gets recruited to join St. Kilda’s and help Emma with her mission.

Her boss on this job is Joe Faroe (“The Wrong Hostage”) and fans of the series will get reacquainted with Joe, Grace and their kids.

The book does get cumbersome and confusing at times, and the cynicism gets tiresome as well. But beneath it all are likeable characters and an intriguing story that will keep you muddling through the cumbersome, confusing and tiresome. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be glad — that the story is over, and that you stuck with it.

‘Fragile’ has strength in its dark side “Fragile”

by Lisa Unger (Crown, 323 pgs., $24)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

Family secrets, the legacy of violence and the fragility of relationships have emerged as some of the hot-button topics of the mystery genre. Authors such as Laura Lippman, Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay are showing that the inner workings of families are among our greatest mysteries of life, and make for thrilling plots.

Add to that list Lisa Unger, who in “Fragile” shows that the intricate family structure can topple with even the most gentle of pushes. In her fifth novel, Unger keeps the energy level high as she skillfully looks at people striving to be good but fearing their dark side is winning and at the complexities of human nature. The Hollows is a quiet town about 100 miles from New York City.

Here, everyone is “connected” to each other. Classmates marry, work with each other, love and hate each other. Kids grow up, move away but return, and pick up old habits and patterns they thought they left behind.

The author keeps the reader offkilter by tainting each character with equal parts of guilt and innocence. Although “Fragile” is populated by nearly an entire town of characters, Unger makes each distinctive. Relationships aren’t easy in “Fragile,” and the fears and connections the characters share are realistically explored.

Completed in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is an international icon for the city.

Author Kevin Starr has written a historical biography of the bridge called “Golden Gate: The Life and Times of America’s Greatest Bridge.”

Ode to ‘Golden Gate’ is a clever mix of prose, history “Golden Gate: The Life and Times of America’s Greatest Bridge”

by Kevin Starr (Bloomsbury Press, 215 pgs., $23)

By Michiko Kakutani New York Times News Service

It’s the western bookend to the Brooklyn Bridge — as iconic an American edifice as the Statue of Liberty, and a favorite spot for lovers, photographers and suicides.

It’s been hailed as one of the modern wonders of the world, “perhaps the most successful combination of site and structure since the Parthenon,” a “democratic masterpiece” and a “giant harp hung in the western sky.”

Despite the many existing odes to the Golden Gate Bridge, Kevin Starr seems particularly well equipped to write a biography of that famous orange bridge. The author of more than half a dozen histories of California, Starr — a professor of history at the University of Southern California and state librarian of California emeritus — has written frequently about the myths and metaphors that festoon the Golden State, and he seems to instinctively understand the place that the Golden Gate Bridge has come to occupy in the national imagination as a symbol of American enterprise and the gateway to the Pacific.

Curiously enough, the passages in “Golden Gate” devoted to explicating the bridge’s symbolism and allure are its least persuasive: pretentious, cliched, derivative and pompously theoretical. “In its American context, taken historically,” Starr writes, “the Bridge aligns itself with the thought of Jonathan Edwards, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and other transcendentalists in presenting an icon of transcendence: a defiance of time pointing to more elusive realities. Were Edwards, Emerson, or the Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, a mystic thinker of great importance to the formation of American thought, alive today, they would no doubt see in the Golden Gate Bridge a fusion of material and trans-material forces held in delicate equipoise.”

The narrative It is when Starr turns from interpreting the bridge to recounting the story of its construction that his narrative takes off. Though it’s a story told many times before — most notably by John van der Zee in “The Gate: The True Story of the Design and Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge” (1986) and Allen Brown in “Golden Gate: Biography of a Bridge” (1965) — Starr does an agile job of situating the tale within the larger context of San Francisco’s efforts to rebuild after the Great Earthquake of 1906 and the nation’s march from the Roaring Twenties into the slough of the Great Depression.

He reminds us that the bridge, first proposed in 1921, initially encountered vociferous opposition from a variety of interests, including ferry companies (which saw the bridge as stealing their business) and environmental groups like the Sierra Club (which argued that such an edifice would profane the natural beauty of the site). There

were also protests, Starr recounts, that “the Bridge was too costly, tolls would prove insufficient to redeem taxpayer-backed bonds, the geological foundations for the south pier were inadequate.”

Arguments that a bridge was vital for San Francisco’s development as a modern metropolis and the demands of commuters from Marin County and beyond would prevail in the end, however, and the bridge would help fuel the Bay Area’s exponential growth in the decades to come.

As it turns out, the years of wrangling over the bridge’s construction would lead to a design triumph. Starr describes the original plan of the Chicago entrepreneur Joseph Strauss as “an undistinguished example of industrial design” — an “upside-down rat trap,” in one opponent’s words. The revised blueprint, devised by a team of noted engineers and architects, would result in that rare thing: a triumph of design by committee.

The self-promoting Strauss would get credit for the Golden Gate, but van der Zee wrote in his book that it was Charles Alton Ellis, a University of Illinois professor and design engineer with enormous mathematical prowess, who was really the presiding genius behind the bridge.

In this volume, Starr acknowledges that “Strauss turned the design of the suspension system, which is to say, the very essence of the Bridge” over to Ellis, who together with the civil engineer Leon Moisseiff, would grapple with the daunting challenge of designing a super long suspension bridge, subject to the intense tidal actions of the strait below, as well as high winds, fog and possibly earthquakes.

Crucial contributions, Starr says, were made by other consultants as well. Othmar Hermann Ammann (the chief designer of the George Washington Bridge) helped with the assembling of the bridge’s various components.

John Eberson, a leading architect of movie theaters, developed the Art Deco vocabulary for the tow-

ers. And Irving Morrow, a local architect and skilled illustrator, refined those ideas further, accentuating, in Starr’s words, “the stepped-back segments rising vertically on all sides” of the twin towers.

The choice of color The actual process of building the bridge, which began in January 1933 and ended in spring 1937, would be herculean. Starr writes that “the construction of the anchorages involved the removal of 3.25 million cubic feet of earth and pouring of concrete into frameworks twelve stories high, the equivalent of building two skyscrapers”; and that each of the bridge’s two transverse cables was 36 3/8 inches in diameter and under “63 million pounds of pull or tension from its own weight.”

Workers were perched 500 to 600 feet above the water and faced cold winds blowing in from the ocean.

As for the bridge’s famous color, international orange, it was not an obvious choice. Starr reports that Ammann favored gray (as used for the George Washington Bridge), and others wanted black. While the Navy “preferred a yellow and black striping to facilitate visibility for ships entering or leaving the Gate through low-lying fog,” the Army Air Corps wanted a red-and-white color scheme more visible from the air. The reddishorange paint was primer, used to protect the bridge against the elements, and it gradually went from being a default choice to the color of choice.

In an over-the-top burst of purple prose, Starr observes that international orange not only “unified the Bridge into one compelling statement,” but also summoned memories of “the gold of the Gold Rush that had created the Bay Area, and the gold of the Golden Horn of the Bosporus first suggested by John Fremont when he named the site in 1846 and by metaphor evoked a colordrenched city of towers, domes, and stepped-back structures rising like Constantinople from blue waters along green hillsides, their red-tiled roofs touching a sunflooded azure sea.”

Anthony Doerr opens “Memory Wall,” his second volume of short stories, with an epigraph from Surrealist director Luis Bunuel. “You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces,” Bunuel declares, “to realize that memory is what makes our lives.” For Doerr — author of three previous books and one of 21 writers selected by Granta in 2007 as “Best Young American Novelists” — the idea of memory as the filament from which we weave identity is not a new one; it infuses his 2004 novel, “About Grace,” in which the present becomes, for a time, an escape from both past and future, and their furious sense of consequence.

Doerr’s new book, however, is less concerned with the importance of memory in bestowing meaning than in the impermanence of the meaning it bestows. For Doerr’s characters, reality is ultimately little more than a projection, or a collection of projections, out of which they create the illusory textures of their lives.

In that sense, “Memory Wall” is less a loose collection than a suite of six related stories, connected not by character but by theme. Memory — whether cultural or biological or personal — is a driving force throughout the book. In “Village 113,” a Chinese woman, keeper of the seeds for her river village, faces a future in which everything she has ever known, her own history as well as that passed down over the generations, will be obliterated when a new dam is built and the waters rise to drown her home. For half a millennium, memory has been as constant as the two stone lions in the Park of Heroes, “their backs polished from five centuries of child-riders,” but beneath the water, this history will disappear as if it had never been there. “Procreate, Generate” addresses the generational question through a different filter, tracing a Wyoming couple’s increasingly desperate efforts to have a child.

The characters here are so different that they appear to occupy distinct universes, the former bound by centuries of tradition and the latter unmoored even from the limits of the body itself. And yet, they echo each other in the most nuanced of ways. “Embryo, seed coat, endosperm: what is a seed if not the purest kind of memory, a link to every generation that has gone

before it?” thinks the seed keeper, pondering her place in the universe, which has been rendered obsolete in an instant, the instant in which the water began to flow. Reading that, it’s impossible not to think of the woman from Wyoming, who puts her hope in embryonic implantation, itself a kind of seeding, even as she tells herself, “Nothingness is the permanent thing. Nothingness is the rule. Life is the exception.”

This notion of nothingness as a fundamental condition creates a vivid tension in the book, where entropy and forgetfulness are always lapping at the edges of the stories. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the title piece, at 85 pages more novella than short story, which revolves around Alma, an older woman in the middle stages of dementia who is an outpatient in an experimental memory clinic in Cape Town, South Africa. Set slightly in the future, in a time when memories can be recorded on small digital cartridges and played back in all their sensory lushness, the story addresses both individual and collective history, since Alma’s late husband, Harold, was an amateur paleontologist. Her recollection of him “reclaiming something vital, … grappling with his own infinitesimal place in time,” pushes against both her own gradual disintegration and the hard, sharp fact of Harold’s death to remind us how ephemeral our grip on identity really is.

The same, of course, could be said of narrative, which is, at the most basic level, an attempt to impose order on the chaos of experience. That adds another layer of tension to the collection, since stories need some kind of resolution even when what they record is unresolved. For the most part, Doerr does an excellent job of balancing these intentions, creating work that is open-ended yet nuanced, avoiding false connections or epiphanies.

Mozart Continued from F1 Scholars have also examined accounts of Mozart’s ailments in letters written by family members, especially his father, Leopold, to uncover signposts regarding his final sickness.

Speculation about an abnormality in the shape of his ear has even led some to suggest that kidney failure was likely, since urinary tract deformities are sometimes related to ear abnormalities.

The indirect evidence itself rests on a quicksand of changing medical definitions, sometimes mistranslated phrases from original testimonies and leaps forward in the understanding of diseases and how the body works.

“As people read the symptoms and patterns of the disease as written by the contemporaneous authors,” Dawson said in a recent interview, “these physicians, in their own minds, try to put together, ‘What does this represent?’”

The outline of Mozart’s final illness is clear. He took to his bed on Nov. 20, 1791, after an intense period that produced “The Magic Flute,” “La Clemenza di Tito,” the Clarinet Concerto, a Masonic cantata and parts of his Requiem. His hands and feet swelled.

He grew listless, suffered vomiting fits and ran a fever.

On Dec. 4 several friends apparently went to his bedside to sing parts of the Requiem. In the evening, Mozart took a turn for the worse, and his doctor, Thomas Closset, was summoned from the theater but sent word that he would come once the show was over. When he arrived, he ordered cold compresses applied to Mozart’s head, which witnesses said caused the patient to shudder. An hour past midnight on Dec. 5, Mozart was dead, at 35.

Closset diagnosed Mozart’s ailment as acute miliary fever, which is more a description than a disease, miliary being a term used to describe millet-sized pustules — effectively, a rash.

It was put down as the official cause of death in the records of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. Mozart’s body was buried, without marking, in a common grave, according to the typical practice of the day for the Viennese middle class, ensuring that no remains that are indisputedly his are available for testing.

Plenty of theories Dawson is not the first to survey theories about Mozart’s death. One of the major scholars in the area is L.R. Karhausen, a physician in France who came up in 1998 with the figure 118 for the causes of death that Dawson cites in his article.

Dawson declines to give his own specific number. But he divides the causes into five groups: poisoning, infection, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and miscellaneous. Bloodletting as a treatment may also have hastened Mozart’s death.

The poisoning theory — whether by Mozart’s colleague Antonio Salieri or by Mozart himself to treat syphilis (an illness long since discounted) — was knocked down fairly summarily after a round of early-19th-century gossip. Mozart himself was said to have suspected poisoning, then changed his mind in his final months.

In the infection category, bacterial endocarditis, streptococcal septicemia, tuberculosis and parasitic infestation have all been proposed. Rheumatic fever has been a major candidate since a landmark study in 1966 by Carl Baer, a Swiss doctor. Under cardiovascular disease, the causes include a stroke and congestive heart failure. The most citations found by Dawson fall under uremia, a buildup of toxins in the blood caused by kidney disease.

“If I had to put two cents on something, it would probably be kidney failure,” Dawson said. “It was probably the most common diagnosis. People who know more about these things than I consider it the probable principal cause.” The cause of Mozart’s kidney problems remains in dispute, too.

Another major theory, propounded in detail in the 1980s by the researcher Peter Davies, blames Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome, a rare disorder of the blood vessels, as the underlying cause. The syndrome caused kidney failure; a brain hemorrhage and pneumonia were the coups de grace, Davies put forth.

‘Immortal and mortal’ All this gives rise to a question: Why does the subject arouse such intense interest? Earlier this year, for example, a researcher at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, after testing what are believed to

be shards of Beethoven’s skull, called into question the theory that he died of lead poisoning.

Part of the reason may lie in the close overlay between music and medicine. A high proportion of doctors seem to play instruments; in fact, Dawson is an accomplished and active bassoonist.

The very idea that remarkable individuals who gave life so much beauty could be brought down by ordinary physical ailments, particularly diseases

C OV ER S T O RY that are now easily treatable, is inherently fascinating. That perception makes people of genius seem closer to us.

“They’re immortal and mortal at the same time,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saffle, a general surgeon and director of the burn-trauma unit at the University of Utah Medical Center. “They’re largerthan-life figures from the standpoint of what they created, but they are very ordinary in terms of their lives and births and deaths.” Saffle and his brother

Michael Saffle, a music historian at Virginia Tech, wrote a survey of the literature regarding the medical histories of prominent composers.

“Medical people like to extend their expertise to this sort of investigative work,” Jeffrey Saffle added.

For Dawson, studying the deaths of composers fits in with our desire to become closer to them. “This,” he said, “is another part of what those lives are about.”

Dr. William Dawson, a retired orthopedic surgeon, compiled a comprehensive list of the theories behind Mozart’s death.

COMMERCIAL VACANCY RATES

JOHN STEARNS

No more, no less

Conference Despite deals, Bend’s rates change little in second quarter puts Bend on the map Bend’s commercial vacancy rates The Bulletin

T

he Bend Venture Conference in October is more than a competition among startup companies for $150,000 to $175,000 in investment cash.

It’s also about showcasing the entrepreneurial talent in Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, connecting entrepreneurs with potential investors from throughout the U.S., and highlighting Bend as a place to do business.

It dovetails nicely with Economic Development for Central Oregon’s new venture catalyst program to nourish early stage local companies by helping them connect with the expertise and investors they need to grow — ideally into big job-generators, said Scott Larson, who manages the program.

This region needs more jobs, especially well-paying ones more immune to cycles that can devastate industries like construction. That’s why Larson’s work and the conference-generated connections companies from this area can exploit are so important.

There are myriad innovative startups in Central Oregon — particularly in the areas of renewable energy; IT software; medical technologies, devices and software; and aviation — that with the right business plan and connections could become the next PV Powered or G5 Search Marketing, Bend companies that have grown into major success stories.

In Larson’s eight months on the job, he’s met with about 140 startups in those primary sectors, which underscores the entrepreneurial activity here. They’re companies for which he works to be the “nurturer and connector.”

PV Powered emerged from the first BVC in 2004 — before the winner got a cash prize — as the best investment opportunity. This year, Advanced Energy bought PV Powered in a deal worth up to $90 million that will keep PV in Bend.

G5, whose software is used for marketing its customers’ websites on search engines and has grown significantly, just secured a $15 million investment.

“That is the largest venture capital investment of the year in Oregon and it happened in Bend,” Larson said. “That alone is just a critical message to deliver” about the kind of activities happening in the region, he said.

The BVC helps to do that.

Dan Hobin, co-founder and CEO of G5 and who co-founded the BVC to create a type of startup ecosystem in Bend, said the climate for the conference is better today than in 2004.

“The environment globally or nationally for startup companies and getting funding is much better,” he said, noting the many interesting companies forming in areas like social media and clean technology, including many in Bend. Hobin expects more Bend companies to qualify for BVC’s investment contest and “you might even see a Bend company win it,” he said. The last three winners were from outside Central Oregon.

The BVC prides itself on attracting early stage companies from throughout the Northwest, which explains its attraction to angel investors and venture capitalists from the Northwest and beyond, said Ruth Lindley, marketing manager for EDCO, which is managing the BVC. “(BVC’s) purpose is to showcase local entrepreneurial ideas … but we don’t want to be so parochial that we’re only open to a local winner,” she said.

Often, startup companies make critical contacts at the BVC whether they’re chosen to present their business plans to the investment panel or not, Lindley said.

Bruce Juhola, who helped with the BVC early on and is managing member of 2010 BVC Investor LLC, whose members provide the investment money to the conference’s winning company, said the event has proved successful.

“We really wanted to put Bend on the map as a place for startups and entrepreneurs — it’s really been paying off,” he said, noting the new companies that have started in or moved to Bend in recent years. “That was our primary objective and I think we’ve achieved that.”

Juhola is still accepting LLC investors.

The minimum unit purchase price is $5,000. He’s confident the prize pool will exceed $150,000 and seeks $175,000. For information on investing, contact him at 541-420-2534 or at bmjuhola@cmc.net.

For more on BVC, scheduled Oct. 1415, visit www.bendvc.com. Investors and qualifying startups shouldn’t miss it.

While businesses were moving into vacant commercial real estate spaces throughout Bend during the second quarter of 2010, there were just as many others moving out.

Because of that, there was little change in industrial, retail and office space vacancies during the second quarter, according to the Compass Commercial Real Estate Services’ quarterly Points survey.

Erich Schultz, a partner with Compass Commercial and author of the report, said vacancy rates have stayed roughly the same for about the last year.

“It seemed like every time we take a step forward, there’s a step back that matches it,” Schultz said. “I think we’re hitting a point where we’re not going to go any lower.”

Bob Smith, a commercial real estate broker at The Lowes Group in Bend, said vacancy rates have flattened. Lease rates for commercial real estate aren’t dropping as rapidly as they once were, Smith added.

Office space vacancies citywide did fall slightly, to 20 percent in the second quarter

BendBroadband touts security of new data center dubbed the Vault

trial space decreased by 2.2 percentage points, much of which was caused by BendBroadband’s purchase of a 30,000square-foot building in the area (See sidebar). The company plans to construct a data center in the building.

See Commercial / G3

Most Central Oregonians’ knowledge about data centers is based on Facebook’s massive project in Prineville.

BendBroadband is now in the game, too, having announced in June its plans to build a data center within a 30,000-square-foot building in northeast Bend. The facility, known as the Vault, will rent out space to clients who wish to have information stored on hundreds of computer-server racks stored in the new facility.

During an event last week intended to sell clients on the data center’s benefits, BendBroadband and the facility’s designers primarily touted the green aspects of the Vault.

But the company also discussed why it picked the building, which formerly housed Bend Tarp & Liner, as well as a few details about its design.

Why the name?

BendBroadband wants to indicate to customers that the data stored in the Vault will be safe.

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

This is the future home of the Vault, a data center to be operated by BendBroadband, at 20845 Sockeye Place, in Bend. The 30,000-square-foot facility that BendBroadband purchased in June was largely responsible for the industrial vacancy rate in northeast Bend dropping more than 2 percentage points in the second quarter. BendBroadband plans to convert the building, former home of Bend Tarp & Liner, in time for opening later this year.

Cities amp up for first How to be frugal and wave of electric cars YOUR MONEY

still be asked on dates

By Ron Lieber New York Times News Service

Saving may be making a comeback, but it still hasn’t gotten its sexy back, particularly if you’re a man.

Earlier this month, the Commerce Department reported that the personal savings rate in June was a muchimproved 6.4 percent and that the number had risen as high as 8.2 percent in the depths of the stock market doldrums in the spring of 2009.

Those who are single may not have been rewarded for their parsimony, though. Now comes some survey data from ING Direct, the people who would like you to save more money in their online savings accounts. In June, the company asked 1,000 people which words would come to mind if someone was fixing them up on a blind date with someone described as frugal.

There are ways to broadcast your financial values and seek significant others without coming off as a tightwad or a gold digger.

Robert Neubecker New York Times News Service

Just 3.7 percent answered “sexy,” while 15 percent picked “boring” and 27 percent chose “stingy.”

Anyone who urges better money habits on the masses for a living ought to be gravely offended by this, though Ramit Sethi, author of “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” tried to take it in stride.

CHICAGO — It’s not enough to be charged up about electric vehicles coming later this year; cities have to prove they’re plug-worthy.

The makers of electric cars are conducting a nationwide dating game of sorts to determine which cities get the vehicles first. Hoping for widespread electric vehicle adoption, the carmakers are rolling out first in cities where motorists will encounter the fewest headaches.

In unprepared cities, too many vehicles charging at once can cause power outages. Owners who seek permits for home-charging stations, which can charge vehicles in far less time, can run into paperwork nightmares. And cities that lack charging infrastructure risk the possibility of stranded motorists.

“Since Henry Ford introduced the motor vehicle, it’s been, ‘Where can I find a gas station?’ And those were pretty prevalent. This is completely different,” said Suzanne Malec-McKenna, commissioner of the city of Chicago’s Department of Environment.

Nissan, Ford and other electric-vehicle makers said they look at three factors in picking cities for rollouts: large numbers of hybrid owners — a sign electric cars will be embraced — friendly public policy and supportive utilities.

“We need to get the right policies in place, moving forward, soon. And when I say soon, I mean get them in place over

Nestle brews up coffee war

By Liz Alderman New York Times News Service

PARIS — George Clooney and John Malkovich aren’t the only coffee lovers fighting over a Nespresso these days.

A coffee war has broken out in Europe pitting the Swiss food giant Nestle against the struggling American food group Sara Lee as well as a former Nestle executive. They are at odds over the worldwide monopoly Nespresso has long held on the lucrative espresso pods that fit its coffeemaking machines.

Helping propel its popularity in Europe is a sleekly wry English-language ad campaign featuring Clooney and Malkovich.

With billions at stake, Nespresso has sued its rivals, accusing them of making cheaper copycat pods that violate the intellectual property it created in developing a system to make a convenient homemade cup of espresso that it claims can best a barista.

The first court test could begin next month here, where Nespresso’s competitors recently put their pods on grocery store shelves in hopes of establishing a beachhead to make inroads throughout Europe and into the United States.

“Nestle has spent millions of dollars on innovation and research in Nespresso over many years,” said Richard Girardot, chief executive of Nestle Nespresso. “So when someone comes along with a pure copy of the product, we have to protect ourselves.”

But Nespresso’s rivals say that Nestle is trying to lock them out of one of the fastest-growing segments of the coffee market: Pods now account for 20 to 40 percent of the value of ground coffee sales in the $17 billion European coffee market, according to Euromonitor International.

“What they’re doing is similar to Hewlett-Packard or Epson trying to forbid generic cartridges,” said Jean-Paul Gaillard, who ran Nespresso for a decade but who now is being sued by Nestle for devising a biodegradable version of its capsule. “They are trying to stop copies — but our product is not a copy,” he said.

Competitors have emerged to other single-serve coffee products, but Nestle is the first to take legal action to try to ward generics away from the gold mine of coffee by the pod.

“The real margins now are in capsulized coffee,” Gaillard said, “where you basically sell 5 grams of coffee for five times the price of what you’d get from regular roasted ground.”

Sales have leapt 30 percent a year, on average, over the past decade, ever since Nespresso underwent an aggressive makeover that transformed it from a humdrum office coffee product to a must-have item among chic urbanites. Through star-studded advertising in Europe and Asia and a growing network of clubby boutiques now numbering 200, it lures upscale customers, whether in New York, Paris or Shanghai.

Since 2000, when Nespresso started to break even, the company has sold more than 20 bil-

A Nespresso machine brews expresso at the Nespresso Boutique Bar in New York last week. Nespresso has sued its rivals, accusing them of making cheaper copycat single-use coffee pods that violate the intellectual property it created in developing a system to make a convenient cup of espresso.

lion capsules through its boutiques and website at about 43 to 62 cents apiece. The price of its machines start around $190 and soar beyond $2,500.

Given similar projections for future growth, others started trying to angle in. Nestle has not made that easy: It owns 1,700 patents on its personal espresso system. Malkovich, playing God in Nespresso’s most recent European ads, trades those patents for Clooney’s soul.

Many of the patents are set to expire in 2012, and Nestle has been working on other ways to prevent competitors from hacking a system that uses unique water dynamics to pump an espresso kissed with foam out of a hermetically sealed aluminum capsule.

Sara Lee, which has been trying since 2005 to engineer a recovery, recently broke through.

In mid-July, it put its own plastic perforated version of the capsule, the L’Or, in French supermarkets, at a price of 37 cents. So far, it has sold 30 million capsules, a spokesman said.

“Coffee is Sara Lee’s No. 1 business; it accounts for well over 50 percent of their earnings,” said Tim Ramey, an analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co. in Portland. “The single-serve coffee business is the piece that’s growing fast, so it’s important for them.”

Sara Lee has its own low-cost version of a personal espresso machine, the Senseo, whose pods alone had sales of $555 million in

the fiscal year that ended June 30.

Senseo is a top seller in the American market and a rival to other single-serve coffees in the United States, like Green Mountain.

About 27 million Senseo machines were sold in the past decade, compared with about 8 million Nespresso machines. But the real gold mine is in pods.

Sara Lee insists that its capsules do not violate Nestle’s patents. “In terms of shape, size, color, material — the whole product is different,” said Ernesto Duran, a spokesman for Sara Lee. If Sara Lee is confident, so is Gaillard, who started the Ethical Coffee Co. three years ago to grab a piece of a market he knows inside out. He takes credit for dreaming up the way to make Nespresso a breakthrough product when he was the top executive there from 1988 to 1997, a claim that elicits long moments of silence from current executives.

“I wanted to create the Chanel of coffee, and decided to make Nespresso chic and bobo,” he said. “The idea was to keep it to

the level of people who have a doorman.”

In 1998, he shifted to running Nestle’s frozen sweets division in the United States, but said he quit a year later to join a rival, Moevenpick, after becoming “bored with ice cream.” He left there three years later and quickly decided to start his own coffee business.

“I started looking at the Nespresso patents, and I said, ‘My God, there is something I can do even better which they did not see.’”

He started manufacturing a biodegradable, 25-cent capsule whose water-flow dynamics, he said, were different from Nespresso’s and did not pollute the way aluminum and plastic capsules did.

Soon after his pods hit the shelves of the French supermarket Casino, he said Nestle representatives paid one of its stores a visit. “A few guys came to the store and said, ‘We want 2,000 capsules.’ When the manager asked why, they said they were from Nestle and had the right to buy,” Gaillard said.

Last month, Nestle persuaded the French police to raid two factories to seize more Ethical Coffee capsules; 35 million have been sold since the end of May. “Nestle is not sitting back at all,” said Richard Withagen, an analyst at SNS Securities in Amsterdam. “They are fighting the entry of Sara Lee and Gaillard, and they are also working on new patents and a new kind of machine for the future.”

Continued from G1 “We like that,” Schultz said.

“We need more like that.”

The data center will house space for hundreds of racks of computer servers BendBroadband hopes to rent out to various clients.

Sean Handley, director of business services for the company, said the design and structure of the building, formerly Bend Tarp & Liner, was perfect for the data center.

“We had toured a bunch of buildings and it was exactly what we needed,” Handley said.

In retail space downtown Bend, the vacancy rate rose slightly from the first quarter, from 8.1 percent to 8.6 percent.

Retail vacancy was highest on the south end of U.S. Highway 97, at 21.5 percent, and the lowest in the Old Mill District, at 2.3 percent, the third consecutive quarter at that mark.

Though vacancy rates have been steady for retail, Schultz said many store owners reported lower foot traffic during the second quarter than in the first.

Schultz thinks it’s related to consumer confidence. People are still worried about money and job security, he said.

At The Mattress Factory in east Bend, where the retail vacancy rate was 10.6 percent, owner Jerry Seed said business has been even for most of 2010, and is better than it was in 2009.

If there aren’t jobs, there’s not money to spend, said Seed, who is celebrating his 35th year in business next week.

“We’ve weathered a few of these recessions before,” said Seed, 77.

“It would be nice not to have another one for a long time. It’s probably the worst one I’ve seen.”

On Point Community Credit Union’s leasing of the building on the corner of Bond Street and Oregon Avenue helped lower the office space vacancy rate downtown, Schultz wrote in Points, from 14.7 percent to 12.9 percent.

Highway 97 and Third Street, collectively at 30.8 percent, have the highest office vacancy rates in the city.

While it wasn’t recorded as impacting second-quarter vacancy rates, the Vision Plaza LLC building, at 404 S.W. Columbia St., sold for $2.5 million.

The building was a bank-owned foreclosure that was built in 2007 for $7.5 million, according to Darren Powderly, a partner with Compass Commercial, which handled the deal.

Smith, of The Lowes Group, has been seeing more bankowned property on the market.

He said the release of commercial bank-owned property lagged behind residential property, but banks are now trying to unload it to clear up their books.

Typically, properties owned by banks are going to be cheaper, and thus more appealing to buyers, Smith said.

In Redmond, where Compass Commercial only measures industrial vacancies, the rate rose 3 percentage points from the first quarter to 29.2 percent.

“Unfortunately, they’ve really suffered,” Schultz said.

Something down the road that could hurt office-space vacancy rates in Bend is the closure of the LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon building in the Old Mill, Schultz said. The company announced earlier this month that it would close its 55,000-square-foot building by the end of the year.

Continued from G1 “The term frugality has been so perverted that it now means ‘No, no, no’ to everyone, whether it’s shoes or lattes or travel,” Sethi said.

“I don’t think it’s the right word.”

Yet it is a term that the online dating company eHarmony screens for in its patented compatibility test, asking people to rank themselves on a seven-point scale for frugality (along with things you would expect, like compassion and generosity).

“It makes sense, right?” asks Gian Gonzaga, 40, who has a doctorate in psychology and is eHarmony’s senior research director. “You look at the attractiveness angle, but farther down the road, money and finances are one of the biggest conflict areas couples traditionally face. And a lot of that comes down to having enough or not having enough.”

Well, maybe it makes sense and maybe it doesn’t. If your frugality has the potential to turn off nearly half of the mating pool, it raises a question: How best to broadcast your financial values and seek significant others who share your approach without coming off as a tightwad or a gold digger?

This challenge is a fairly recent one. Several generations back, personal ads could not have been more explicit about finances, since everyone knew that women generally had no income and a marriage involving a man of means was the only way to live comfortably.

This posting, from The New York Herald in 1860, was about par for the course, according to Pam Epstein, an adjunct professor at the Newark campus of Rutgers University, who wrote her history Ph.D. thesis on older ads. “A young lady, rather good looking, and of good address, desires the acquaintance of a gentleman of wealth (none other need apply), with a view to matrimony,” the ad read.

Ads from men from that period seemed custom-built to fit that bill. “The advertiser, a successful young business man of good education, polite manners and agreeable address, having recently amassed a fortune and safely invested the same, wishes to meet with a young lady or widow,” one said.

“There was this idea that men were very frugal,” said Epstein, 33, who posts copies of some of the ads she’s dug up at advertisingforlove.com.

“You were going to work hard and save your money, and then by doing so, you would be able to support a wife in comfort. I do see a lot of ads saying, ‘I’ve been wrapped up in business all this time and now I can support a wife comfortably.’”

Flash forward to today, however, and things get more complicated. Some people do put down an income range in their online dating profiles, though it’s not as if anyone is auditing the figures for honesty. Many men, meanwhile, pose peacock-like in front of their cars or boats or homes.

The message here is less clear, though. Are these meant to be trophies, a sign of a fortune already amassed? Or is it the

Reuben Strayer, 34, a physician in Manhattan does not broadcast his profession or true income in online personals.He always pays for the first date and does not object to providing for a wife one day, he adds; he just doesn’t want to attract the kind of woman who is specifically looking for someone who will do so. mark of a spendthrift? Or an indication that he’ll spend all of his time on the water, and you’d better be ready with the Dramamine if the relationship is going to work?

“There’s nothing admirable in frugality, because it’s invisible,” Epstein notes.

But even if you could transmit that value through an online dating profile, would you want to? It turns out that the answer to that may depend on whether you’re a man or a woman.

What they really want The ING Direct survey, which was conducted by phone and has a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, presented one more potential label for that frugal blind date: smart. And in a promising sign for the nation’s solvency, that was the term chosen most often, picked by 49 percent of respondents. EHarmony also crunched the numbers for me on 30 million matches it made in July and found that both men and women were 25 percent more likely to have a potential mate reach out to them if they identified themselves as a saver rather than a spender.

Curiously, however, 56 percent of men in the ING Direct survey gave “smart” as their favorite answer while just 42 percent of women did. (The numbers were similarly flipped on stingy: 33 percent of women labeled the potential mate that way, while just 20 percent of men did.)

What’s going on here? “My suspicion is that the value of frugality depends on whose money will presumably be spent,” said Reuben Strayer, 34, a physician in Manhattan who does not broadcast his profession or true income in online personals. He always pays for the first date and does not object to providing for a wife one day, he adds; he just doesn’t want to attract the kind of woman who is specifically looking for someone who will do so.

But even if many men still make more money than women and are wary of mates who would want them to spend it, they may not want to advertise it. “Frugality may or may not have anything to do with how much he loves you,” said BJ Gallagher 61, an experienced online dater and author of several self-help books for women.

“But for a lot of women, love looks like ‘Take care of me and give me things.’”

My jaw dropped listening to some of the dated stereotypes coming out of Gallagher’s mouth and I told her so. “I try not to get into right and wrong,” she replied. “I’m not a professional finger-wagger. I just hold a mirror to things. I’m descriptive, not prescriptive.” She said she’d

been in relationships where she provided most of the income and had seen plenty of gay and lesbian couples where one mate provided the “masculine” energy that kept things in balance.

Secret of subtilely Fair enough, but what should you do if you want to communicate prudent financial values to a potential mate without dropping the unsexy F word?

Robert Epstein, a psychologist who has studied online dating, said he struggled with this during the seven years it took to produce a beta version of the relationship compatibility test now online at arewegoodtogether.com. He suggests that people who feel strongly about good money habits talk about how they love a great bargain.

Topher Burns, 27, a Manhattan resident who is about to move in with a man he met online, said he realized that he had it a bit easier than heterosexual men who might feel compelled to pay for dates all of the time. But he still took a subtle approach in his online profile by talking about how he loved discovering the newest cheap eats. It shows, he explained, both a love of quality and a respect for value, which seems like a fine message to send no matter who is picking up the check.

The trick, it seems, is to use such subtle codes, the same way people slip in mentions of their jogging habit rather than coming right out and saying that they’re not overweight. So rather than projecting frugality outright, try dropping a classic investing book like “A Random Walk Down Wall Street” by Burton Malkiel, into the list of things you’ve read recently, suggested Deborah Levenson, a financial planner with Braver Wealth Management in Newton, Mass., who recently became engaged to a man she met online.

“That might give someone a sense that you were a Vanguard investor,” she said. “I think Vanguard is sexy.”

All of that said, when reading these profiles, keep in mind that these are advertisements.

They will stretch the truth or lie outright and may contain not just delusions of grandeur or wealth but ones of financial prudence, too.

You may be able to tease out any inconsistencies once you get to know a potential mate. But don’t ask about them directly. One thing that everyone I talked to this week agreed on was this: Frugality may or may not be sexy, but few people want to hear about your asset allocation on the first date.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 29, 2010 G3

Vault Continued from G1 Customers like banks or hospitals — St. Charles Health System has already bought space — often have sensitive information that must be secure, BendBroadband officials said.

BendBroadband informally calls the primary security method “The Man Trap.” It’s a circular chamber in between the lobby and the computer servers that keeps a person locked in until he or she shows a security clearance card.

Irvine, Calif.-based Logicalis is designing the technological infrastructure of the Vault.

Bob Mobach, practice director of data center infrastructure for Logicalis, said the building is designed with redundancy, ensuring information will be protected.

There are quirkier aspects of the building. The data center has two bedrooms, meant to give out-of-town customers who must make emergency trips to the facility a place to stay the night.

As for being green, BendBroadband wants to achieve the highest certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design: platinum.

It will have about 150 kilowatts worth of solar panels on the roof, with inverters from PV Powered to covert the sunlight to usable power. Mobach said the energy

from those panels will be able to power the office space of the building.

The rows of computer servers will be cooled by a KyotoCooling system, which uses recycled air as a cooling mechanism. KyotoCooling International BV, based in The Netherlands, purports that its system will save up to 85 percent on cooling costs compared with other methods, like cooling with straight air or water.

Because computer servers get so hot, they need constant cooling, which accounts for about 35 percent of the facility’s total power usage, Mobach said.

Facebook’s data center, alternatively, will use evaporated water and outdoor air to cool its servers. Facebook expects to have a power usage effectiveness — an industry-specific term that describes energy efficiency — of 1.15, while BendBroadband announced expectations between 1.02 and 1.25. Current data center models typically range from 1.8 to 3.0 power usage effectiveness, Mobach said. The lower the number, the more efficient the data center.

Power efficiency in a data center is important because of how much energy they use, Mobach said. Nationally, data centers consume about 2 percent of all power generated, he said.

Electric cars Continued from G1 With its low price point of $25,280 (after a $7,500 federal tax credit) and Nissan’s promises of nationwide availability, the Leaf is compared to the Toyota Prius in terms of its potential for wide-scale adoption.

Illinois utility Commonwealth Edison is investigating the potential impact — positive and negative — that electric vehicles could have on the grid.

Hybrid ownerships tend to cluster in particular neighborhoods, and early EV reservations are showing a similar trend. That portends a lot of charging in particular areas, and potential breakdowns.

“That vehicle is going to be the largest discretionary load on the home,” said Mike Tinskey, manager of sustainability activities at Ford Motor Co. “What if you had a neighborhood with 10 electric vehicles and they’re all on the same transformer? That’s a real problem for utilities, and they want to be able to manage that.”

In neighborhoods, transformers step down high-voltage electricity for residential use.

A single pole-top transformer serves three to six homes. If there is overuse, it can lead to power outages or decrease the transformer’s lifespan. In some neighborhoods, transformers are already strained, as they were not designed for the demands of large-screen TVs, hot tubs and air conditioners.

And although utilities can track for clustering of electric-vehicle owners by pulling permits for home charging stations, there are also consumers such as Chris VanKula, a 39-year-old account executive in Chicago, who plans to forgo paying an additional $2,200 or so for a home-charging station.

“I don’t think we even need it. I’d just go without it,” said VanKula, who described his wife and himself as the type of people who only drive if they “wimp out” in the winter. That may work for some people who drive infrequently and don’t mind the 20 hours it takes to charge a Leaf on a regular 120volt current. With an upgrade to a 240-volt home-charging station, the charge takes just seven or eight hours.

Commonwealth Edison may consider transformer upgrades in certain neighborhoods, said Anne Pramaggiore, the utility’s president and chief operating officer.

Still, it’s not yet clear who would pay for any needed upgrades.

“In the way we structure our rates, there are certain upgrades that customers pay for individually because they are beyond the standard. I suspect there will be debate about whether this fits in that category,” Pramaggiore said.

To encourage charging at night when overall power demand is lower, Commonwealth Edison is considering offering better rates to those who charge at night to “smart” devices that choose the best time to charge a vehicle.

Commonwealth Edison also is testing devices that allow electric cars and transformers to automatically adjust the rate and timing of charges in the event too many vehicles are charging at the same time, said Dan Gabel, manager of electric vehicles.

Commonwealth Edison sees a point at which car owners could even choose to “sell back” electricity in their car batteries when there is high demand on the grid.

“We really see this as just

Dan Stankoskey, of Commonwealth Edison, plugs in a company electric vehicle. The utility is investigating the positive and negative effects electric vehicles will have on city grids. another part of a smart home,” Gabel said.

Gabel said midlevel charging stations would likely be placed where vehicles are likely to be parked for longer periods — like transportation centers and stadiums or at businesses such as Whole Foods Market or Starbucks.

“For any electric-vehicle maker to be successful, there has to a charging infrastructure,” said Rick Bourgoise, director of communications for Smart USA. “Your car does you no good unless you have somewhere to plug it in and charge it up.”

About 100 charging stations are expected to be deployed through a U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities grant. The consortium will review proposals in September and begin installation as early as November.

To meet grant requirements, the charging infrastructure must

be operational by 2012.

Public-charging stations are important because they eliminate what automakers commonly refer to as “range anxiety.” Without enough stations, drivers tend to worry they will be stranded and are less likely to rely on electric vehicles as their primary means of transportation.

The range of electric vehicles varies according to temperature and climate. Although vehicles such as the Leaf and Smart Fortwo have the ability to cool down or heat up while still plugged in, to maintain that temperature while on the road, the vehicle draws from the battery.

A spokeswoman for AAA said that although it is reviewing several options, it does not yet have a way to charge a stranded electric vehicle, other than to tow it to the nearest charging station.

BMW Alpina attacks corners, Why don’t we fuel cars with natural gas? turns some passengers green

By Paul Brand

(Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Q:

By Jason H. Harper Bloomberg News

I’m making my wife sick. Not a new event, surely, but certainly the first time in a car. My normally impervious spouse is in the back seat of a BMW Alpina B7 luxury sedan and we’re on mile 11 of the most vertiginous, cutback roads I’ve ever encountered.

I should know better, but I can’t help myself, attacking corner after screeching corner. Even R E V I E W the leatherswathed back bucket seats aren’t enough to counteract the effects of heavy braking and constant swaying.

“Jason,” Miranda says, face paling. “Really?”

Probably not what she had in mind when I’d suggested a tour through Sonoma wine country in a spacious, sophisticated sedan. Yet my friend and front passenger, another Jason, lives in northern California and knows the best back roads. So maybe Miranda should have known better, too.

Not that this long-wheelbase model rides poorly. Anything but. After all, carmaker Alpina, in Buchloe, Germany, based it on my favorite executive haulers of all, the latest BMW 7 Series. It seems impossible that you could get carsick in one.

There’s a compliment lurking in there. I wouldn’t even attempt this type of death-defying, sports-car driving with any other luxury sedan. If I’d been in a Lexus LS or even a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, I would have stayed on littoral highways rather than cresting a coastal mountain range, slamming on the brakes, skirting a cliff without guard rails, and then sliding the back end around an uphill bend.

The regular, $86,000 750Li is like a Transformer robot which morphs from CEO swaddler to evil Megatron road scorcher with the twist of a dial. The $126,775 Alpina B7 has been revised and retuned so that it’s both faster and plusher, taking the duality even further.

In its home country, Alpina is classified as an official auto manufacturer, though it only works with BMW models. In the case of the B7, the extra $40,000 gets you greater power and more nuanced handling, extra leather and more than $10,000 worth of included options. Alpina differs from BMW’s inhouse tuning division, M GmbH, in that it fo-

The 2011 BMW Alpina B7 is spacious and sophisticated while boasting the pickup and handling to rival most sports cars.

2011 BMW Alpina B7 Transmission: Six-speed automatic Speed: 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds Gas mileage per gallon: 15 city; 21 highway Price as tested: $126,775 Engine: 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 with 500 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque

cuses on adding luxury as well as greater performance. While the U.S. consumers can buy M models ranging from the hardcore M3 coupe to X6 M crossover, the only Alpina currently on offer in the States is the 2011-model year B7.

Alpina got its start in the 1960s when owner Burkard Bovensiepen transformed his father’s typewriter business in southern Germany into a sports-car tuner.

It began working hand-in-glove with BMW, and today Alpina models are developed in tandem, and are both warranted and sold

by BMW. Burkard’s sons, Andreas and Florian, now run the business.

Priced at $122,875 for the short wheelbase version and $126,775 for the long wheelbase, which is stretched 5.5 inches, the B7 is also available with all-wheel-drive.

Outwardly, it takes a devout Bimmer-head to notice the altered front fascia and rear end.

While the word Alpina is embossed on the rear, the BMW badge remains. Most noticeable are the 21-inch wheels with Alpina’s gorgeous, distinctive 20spoke rims.

The big difference is in the

guts. The twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 gets reinforced cylinder heads and bigger turbo chargers, as well as an improved cooling system to counteract the extra generated heat.

The result is significantly more torque: 516 pound-feet versus 450 in the 750Li. Extra horsepower comes your way too, with 100 more adding up to 500.

I subscribe to Alpina’s way of thinking that the torque is the most desirable type of additional power in a heavy sedan. From a standstill, the Alpina surges forward with a smooth and powerful gait.

Alpina says it concentrates on making the B7 both better riding than the 7 in comfort setting and more aggressive in the sport settings, the result of an electronically adjustable suspension that also inhibits body roll.

In the softer mode, the car feels like it rides on a carpet of air, almost to the point of being squishy. Even the car-sick prone could read “War and Peace” on the move and not feel queasy.

Switch the dial to “sport sharp,” and the B7’s lowered ride and sharper suspension suddenly leap to the fore, making it hot-

My boss and I were discussing alternative energy and we came up with the same question. Is there a movement to use natural gas instead of gasoline in passenger cars?

From what little I understand, engines would not need too much modification to do so.

You are correct. Modern automotive engines and engine management systems need very little “adjustment” to operate on liquid natural gas.

Vehicles designed, built or modified to do so are called NGVs, or natural-gas vehicles. There’s little or no drivability or performance differences between the two fuels, but each has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of natural gas are cleaner emissions and because of this, perhaps, less maintenance and mechanical wear and tear. Fuel costs are typically more stable and about one-third lower than gasoline.

There may also be a safety advantage because fuel storage tanks on NGVs are substantially stronger than gas tanks on most motor vehicles.

Disadvantages? First and foremost, the availability of liquid natural gas. There are refueling stations, but they’re few and far between compared with gasoline stations on nearly every corner. A century of gasoline distribution infrastructure development is hard to beat.

Also, natural-gas vehicles tend to have less passenger room because the fuel storage containers are larger, heavier and occupy more space. That means less range, or milesper-tankful, than a comparable size/power automobile.

It’s also important to recognize that natural gas, like petroleum or gasoline, is not a re-

ter and fiercer than the 750Li. To my thinking, it’s nearly impossible to beat the cabin of the current 7 Series. Wisely, Alpina mostly stays out of the way, adding extra swathes of handstitched leather and some of its own badging. A better stereo, heated rear seats and a head-up display are included.

Our challenging road eventually peters to rough gravel before meeting up with Highway 1, itself one of the world’s most challenging and serpentine routes. My passengers still seem relieved.

I make a quick pit-stop at a roadside store and upon returning find that Miranda has moved up front.

She points at me and then juts her thumb toward the back.

newable resource. U.S. natural gas reserves are large but not unlimited.

Q:

Every few days, my 1995 Nissan Maxima would not turn over when I turned the key. No sound, no clicking, no nothing. The shop replaced the battery, but the next day the same issue. I fiddled around, and then the car started. Took it back, and they replaced the starter. Today, the same thing happened. Please help.

Well, you now know the starter and battery weren’t the problem, right?

If by “fiddling” you mean wiggling the key while holding the switch in the “start” position, suspect the switch itself.

If you mean wiggling the shift lever within its range of movement in “park” and/or “neutral,” suspect the park/neutral safety switch.

If, when the engine won’t crank, connecting a single jumper cable from the positive battery terminal and then to the positive terminal on the starter motor causes the engine to crank over, the problem is likely with the switches and/or harness. If this doesn’t crank the engine over, it’s likely a poor ground connection between the engine/drivetrain/chassis and the negative battery terminal. Take all safety precautions before this test by making sure the ignition is “off,” parking brake is set and the transmission is in “park” or “neutral.”

Tennis aces Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova were the ultimate rivals—but it turns out that’s only half the story

by Kate Meyers

HEN CHRIS EVERT and Martina Navratilova’s athletic entanglement began, one was an unflappable American who commanded the baseline; the other a volatile Czech prodigy who liked to rush the net. From 1973 through 1988, the two battled 80 times—including in 60 finals. Each captured 18 Grand Slam singles trophies: Navratilova dominated Wimbledon, where she holds a record nine singles titles, and Evert commanded the French and U.S. Opens with seven and six titles respectively.

As they reveal in the documentary Unmatched, premiering on ESPN on Sept. 14, the two were more than intense on-court adversaries. They became friends early on, and ever since have supported each other through a multitude of struggles—most recently, the collapse of Evert’s third marriage to golfer Greg Norman and Navratilova’s breast-cancer diagnosis in February. Earlier this month, Evert, 55, and Navratilova, 53, got together to discuss some of their defining moments— and what still motivates them.

W

What makes this friendship unique?

Chris Evert We’ve been through so much history,

so many layers of emotions. We were such opposites, it enabled us to get closer. She has my back; I have hers. I think people forget that we were left alone in the locker room every Sunday after we played final matches, and one of us would be crying and the other would be comforting—nobody saw that.

Simply the best: Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert.

Follow their greatest on-court moments at Parade.com/rivals.

Martina Navratilova You always had to guard yourself because you didn’t want to be too destroyed when you lost or too gloating when you won, because you didn’t want to upset the other person. Now we don’t have to guard anything.

Martina, Chris has said you’re a softie and called you a kitten. So what’s Chris?

Martina She’s a cougar. Not in the way they talk

about it now, but in that she’s very protective of her friends and family. It’s funny—she’s opened up, and

I’m not nearly as open as I once was about my life.

Chris I let it all out now.

Chris, you’ve said that you couldn’t believe it when Martina would cry on the court, but were you also a little envious?

Chris Part of me admired that she could just let it

out for the whole world to see. The closest I came was at the ’85 French Open. I was so happy, and I was thinking, “How come the tears aren’t coming?”

But I was so conditioned, they just wouldn’t.

control herself. Because I couldn’t.

▲ Martina Navratilova Best Match The French Open final when I was going for four Slams in a row. It was 3 and 1.

The Worst That double-bagel [6-0, 6-0] day at Amelia Island.

Best Moment at the Net My first Wimbledon. Chris was so sweet—and she was really happy that I won because she knew how great that feels. She put her arm around me when I won, and then I did the same for her at the French when she won. Those two times, you wouldn’t have known who won the match, and they were huge in our careers.

Martina, how do you feel about Chris now?

Chris [laughing] She wishes I had more control…

Martina I just want her to be happy.

Chris That was sweet. Thank you. I will one

day. I’m getting there.

You two have what is arguably the greatest rivalry in sports history. You faced each other 80 times. What were you thinking when you looked across the net?

Chris In the beginning, I had the edge because

Martina hadn’t got herself 100% fit, and she was still emotional on the court. I felt I just had to be mentally tough. In the middle, I was like, “Aww, geez,” because as soon as she got herself fit, that helped her mentally. And then at the end, I think it was a little more even.

What is it that you both have that champions need?

Chris The mental part of my game. A lot of

players were faster and stronger, but I think being able to just zero in and focus was my strength.

Martina I think the ability to fail. Not being afraid to put it all on the line and come up short.

Most people don’t have that.

Chris, you’ve said there was a point where you walked onto the court thinking you weren’t going to win— Chris That was when I lost 13 times in a row over

a two-and-a-half-year period—when Martina was invincible. She lost six matches in three years.

Martina Again, I think that speaks for Chris. A lot of people would have quit, but then she goes and wins the French Open twice. They write her off, and she comes back and wins a couple of majors.

So you always wanted to beat her at her best?

Martina That’s what it’s about. I’ve always said

that, and people don’t believe me.

Chris And God love her. Here’s an example: When my first marriage was ending, I was kind of down, and Martina said, “Come on up to Aspen” and taught me how to ski. We would ski from 9 to 2, play tennis for two hours, then be in the gym for two hours—and she showed me what she was doing with weights. We did this for a week. Not many people who are No. 1 and No. 2 competitors would do that.

Favorite Threads I think I liked my Puma outfits, the turquoise ones, best.

Best Match The ’85 French. I came from behind, I was the underdog, and it was after she beat me 13 times in a row.

The Worst At Amelia Island—after I beat her love and love, she killed me 2 and 0.

Best Moment at the Net When I beat her at the French, and she put her arm around me.

Favorite Threads I had an Ellesse pink outfit that I liked—pink was my favorite color to wear, wouldn’t you know?

When Martina went off to play the Australian Open, you stayed behind and fell in love with Andy Mill, who became your second husband.

Chris He was so cute. He woke up and said, “I

Chris Probably a bigger serve. I mean, I was one

Did you ever have a low moment on the court when you were angry at each other?

Chris Never. No. Martina Uh-uh.

Chris Even when she was killing me, when I

couldn’t even look at her and all I wanted to do was get off the court. But we’re not nasty people.

Martina We never played games. If I yelled at the linesman, it was because I wanted that call then and there—not the next one. And Chris was very buttoned-up. We knew that whoever was going to play better tennis that day was going to win; there wasn’t going to be any [expletive] in between points.

of the greatest players who ever won Wimbledon who didn’t have a serve! [laughs] How do you like that? All they talk about now is Serena Williams’ serve and that she wins three points a game on her serve. I had to work. I had to fight for my points.

What effect did the rivalry have on your careers?

Martina It made them longer and better, made us

into better tennis players. I don’t think either of us would have lasted as long without the other.

Chris It gave us inspiration and a lot of incentive to work harder and try to continue to improve.

Retiring as a pro athlete is said to be a hard thing. Did you two commiserate?

PERSONAL FINANCE

Your Money or Your Life?

The economic crisis may have changed how we define value

by Lee Eisenberg

ILLUSTRATION BY MICHAEL WITTE

R

EMEMBER THE GOOD old days? Two, three years ago?

When a typical house on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition had enough bedrooms to accommodate—individually— every member of the Brady Bunch? When Fido was getting unsolicited creditcard offers in the mail?

Back then, it was easy to confuse having (a lot of stuff ) with being (set for life). Now, almost two years after Wall Street’s big crash, that’s not such a problem. The Big Three car companies are profitable again, but the financial markets still ping-pong from day to day. Americans are finally managing to put some savings away, yet personal income remains stagnant. More than 14 million people are still out of work. Nearly one in four homeowners owes more on his house than it’s currently worth. If this represents the new American Dream, wake us when it’s over.

The dawn of a brighter day still seems a long way off. But when it comes, will we step into it older and wiser or just older and poorer? When a true recovery takes hold, will we allow ourselves to be lured back into debt by ads for state-of-the-art pitching wedges, designer everything, and more bedrooms and baths than we need? Or will we strike a healthier balance between living for the moment and planning for the future?

There are, in fact, signs that a more sober mind-set is emerging. The consulting firm Strategic Business Insights refers to it as “conspicuous conservation.”

We’re weighing risk against reward now. We’re placing a greater value on value (instead of glitz) when we go shopping, opting for the functional over the flashy, the rational over the reckless.

Most profoundly, we’re remembering what our parents taught us: that money isn’t everything. In a recent Merrill Lynch survey, more than half of retired respondents said that if they could do it all over again, they’d focus more on “life goals” and less on “the numbers.”

Reading that report, I thought of an enlightened

A new dosing option for your loved one.

ARICEPT® 23 mg/day is now FDA approved for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease.

Ask the doctor about new ARICEPT 23 mg/day.

ARICEPT (donepezil HCl) is a prescription medicine to treat mild Alzheimer’s disease (up to 10 mg/day) and moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease (up to 23 mg/day).

Before starting on ARICEPT 23 mg/day, patients should be on ARICEPT 10 mg/day for at least 3 months. The starting dose of ARICEPT is 5 mg/day and can be increased to 10 mg/day after 4–6 weeks. Please take ARICEPT as prescribed by the doctor.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ARICEPT® may not be for everyone. People at risk for stomach ulcers or who take certain other medicines should tell their doctors because serious stomach problems, such as bleeding, may get worse.

People at risk for certain heart conditions should tell their doctor before starting ARICEPT because they may experience fainting.

People with serious lung conditions and difficulty breathing, bladder problems or seizures should tell their doctor before using ARICEPT. ARICEPT 23 mg/day is associated with weight loss. Check with the doctor if this is a concern. Inform the doctor if the patient needs surgery requiring anesthesia while taking ARICEPT. Some people may have nausea, diarrhea, difficulty sleeping, vomiting or muscle cramps. Incidence of nausea and vomiting were markedly greater in patients taking ARICEPT 23 mg/day versus patients taking ARICEPT 10 mg/day. Some people may feel tired or may have loss of appetite. If they persist, please talk to the doctor.

The ARICEPT Patient Assistance Program can help qualified indigent and uninsured patients obtain ARICEPT at no cost. Assistance is also available to Medicare Part D-insured patients who are in the coverage gap or donut hole. To learn more and receive an application for assistance, please contact us Monday–Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM ET at: Phone: 1-800-226-2072, Fax: 1-800-226-2059.

Please see important Patient Information on next page. For more information, visit aricept.com or call 1-866-4-ARICEPT. You are encouraged to report negative side effects to the FDA. Visit fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

ARICEPT PATIENT PACKAGE INSERT ®

ARICEPT (Air-eh-sept) (donepezil hydrochloride) tablets • Tablets: 5 mg, 10 mg, and 23 mg ARICEPT® ODT (Air-eh-sept oh-dee-tee) (donepezil hydrochloride) orally disintegrating tablets • ODT Tablets: 5 mg and 10 mg Read the Patient Information that comes with ARICEPT before the patient starts taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information.

This leaflet does not take the place of talking with the doctor about Alzheimer’s disease or treatment for it. If you have questions, ask the doctor or pharmacist.

What is ARICEPT? ARICEPT comes as ARICEPT film-coated tablets in dosage strengths of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 23 mg, and as ARICEPT Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT; 5 mg and 10 mg). Except where indicated, all the information about ARICEPT in this leaflet also applies to ARICEPT ODT. ARICEPT is a prescription medicine to treat mild Alzheimer’s disease (up to 10 mg) and moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease (up to 23 mg). ARICEPT can help with mental function and with doing daily tasks. ARICEPT does not work the same in all people. Some people may: • • • •

Seem much better Get better in small ways or stay the same Get worse over time but slower than expected Not change and then get worse as expected

ARICEPT does not cure Alzheimer’s disease. All patients with Alzheimer’s disease get worse over time, even if they take ARICEPT. ARICEPT has not been approved as a treatment for any medical condition in children.

Who should not take ARICEPT? The patient should not take ARICEPT if allergic to any of the ingredients in ARICEPT or to medicines that contain piperidines. Ask the patient’s doctor if you are not sure. See the end of this leaflet for a list of ingredients in ARICEPT. What should I tell the doctor before the patient takes ARICEPT? Tell the doctor about all the patient’s present or past health problems.

Include: • Any heart problems including problems with irregular, slow, or fast heartbeats • Asthma or lung problems • A seizure • Stomach ulcers • Difficulty passing urine • Liver or kidney problems • Trouble swallowing tablets • Present pregnancy or plans to become pregnant. It is not known if ARICEPT can harm an unborn baby.

• Present breast-feeding. It is not known if ARICEPT passes into breast milk. ARICEPT is not for women who are breast-feeding.

Tell the doctor about all the medicines the patient takes, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.

ARICEPT and other medicines may affect each other.

Be particularly sure to tell the doctor if the patient takes aspirin or medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are many NSAID medicines, both prescription and non-prescription. Ask the doctor or

pharmacist if you are not sure if any of the patient’s medicines are NSAIDs. Taking NSAIDs and ARICEPT together may make the patient more likely to get stomach ulcers.

ARICEPT taken with certain medicines used for anesthesia may cause side effects. Tell the responsible doctor or dentist that the patient takes ARICEPT before the patient has: • surgery • medical procedures • dental surgery or procedures.

Know the medicines that the patient takes. Keep a list of all the patient’s medicines. Show it to the doctor or pharmacist before the patient starts a new medicine.

How should the patient take ARICEPT? • Give ARICEPT exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop ARICEPT or change the dose yourself. Talk with the doctor first.

• Give ARICEPT one time each day. ARICEPT can be taken with or without food.

• ARICEPT Tablets (but not ARICEPT ODT) should be swallowed whole without the tablets being broken or crushed.

• ARICEPT ODT melts on the tongue. The patient should drink some water after the tablet melts.

• If you miss giving the patient a dose of ARICEPT, just wait. Give only the next dose at the usual time. Do not give 2 doses at the same time.

• If ARICEPT is missed for 7 days or more, talk with the doctor before starting again.

• If the patient takes too much ARICEPT at one time, call the doctor or poison control center, or go to the emergency room right away.

What are the possible side effects of ARICEPT? ARICEPT may cause the following serious side effects: • slow heartbeat and fainting. This happens more often in people with heart problems. Call the doctor right away if the patient faints while taking ARICEPT. • more stomach acid. This raises the chance of ulcers and bleeding, especially when taking ARICEPT 23 mg. The risk is higher for patients who had ulcers, or take aspirin or other NSAIDs. • worsening of lung problems in people with asthma or other lung disease.

• seizures.

• difficulty passing urine.

Call the doctor right away if the patient has: • fainting.

• heartburn or stomach pain that is new or won’t go away.

• nausea or vomiting, blood in the vomit, dark vomit that looks like coffee grounds.

• bowel movements or stools that look like black tar.

• new or worse asthma or breathing problems.

• seizures.

• difficulty passing urine.

The most common side effects of ARICEPT are: • • • • • • •

nausea diarrhea not sleeping well vomiting muscle cramps feeling tired not wanting to eat © PARADE Publications 2010. All rights reserved.

These side effects may get better after the patient takes ARICEPT for a while. This is not a complete list of side effects with ARICEPT. For more information, ask the doctor or pharmacist.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

How should ARICEPT be stored ?

Store ARICEPT at room temperature between 59° to 86°F (15° to 30°C).

Keep ARICEPT and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General information about ARICEPT Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in this Patient Information Leaflet. Do not use ARICEPT for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give ARICEPT to people other than the patient, even if they have the same symptoms as the patient, as it may harm them.

This leaflet summarizes the most important information about ARICEPT. If you would like more information talk with the patient’s doctor. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about ARICEPT that is written for health professionals. For more information, go to www.ARICEPT.com, or call 1-800-760-6029.

What are the ingredients in ARICEPT? Active ingredient: donepezil hydrochloride Inactive ingredients: • ARICEPT 5 mg and 10 mg film-coated tablets: lactose monohydrate, cornstarch, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and magnesium stearate. The film coating contains talc, polyethylene glycol, hypromellose, and titanium dioxide. Additionally, the 10 mg tablet contains yellow iron oxide (synthetic) as a coloring agent.

financial planner named George Kinder. He asks each of his new clients to respond to three hypothetical scenarios.

1. Imagine you have more money than you ever dreamed of. What would you buy? Where would you travel? At this point, Kinder says, most people go crazy: Golf memberships! A condo in Vail! A 45-foot cabin cruiser!

2. Now imagine that your doctor diagnoses a rare disease; you will die within 10 years. Suddenly, we’re thinking harder about what’s really important. Plenty of material goodies still wind up on the list, but it’s clear that with a tighter time horizon, we’re far more discerning about what really counts.

3. Now the doctor says that you have only 24 hours to live. The question isn’t, “What would you like to do or buy between now and tomorrow?” It’s this: “What did you not get to do in life—who did you not get to be?”

Every one of us would answer those last questions differently, of course.

But Kinder says that most people answer in one of only a few ways. We wish we’d exercised our creativity more. Or given more back to the community, a church, the planet. Or fixed a broken relationship. The telling thing: None of it costs a huge sum of money. But it does require thinking about the meaning of money—and that we open ourselves up, that we share our hopes, our dreams, our goals with others…and that, in the end, we focus less on net worth and more on self-worth. A silver lining, perhaps?

Lee Eisenberg is the author of Shoptimism: Why the American Consumer Will Keep on Buying No Matter What.

What’s Your Money Personality?

When it comes to personal finances, most of us belong to one of five types, according to a recent PARADE survey by public-opinion expert Michael Berland. Where do you fit in? Visit Parade.com/money to see more results from our poll.

DO-RIGHTS (36%)

Do-Rights keep budgets, avoid debt, and save for the future. When they need advice about money, they tend to ask experts.

RENEWERS (28%) About 75% of these middle-aged Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

They’ve made major cutbacks since the financial crisis and want to start saving, but they find it difficult to stick to the budgets they’ve set for themselves.

UNSECURE WOMEN (15%) Most of these single women earn less than $40,000 a year, and twothirds say they’d quickly be in serious financial trouble if they lost their

current source of income. Many say they feel embarrassed about their personal finances.

STARTERS (12%) These young singles are optimistic about the future. They know they should pay more attention to their finances but say they’re too busy pursuing other goals.

OPTIMISTIC AVOIDERS (9%) These married homeowners make higher-than-average salaries but say they save less than they should and make too many impulse purchases.

Nearly two-thirds of this group would rather let their romantic partners handle the finances.

So much oil is being pumped from the earth. Will it result in caverns and sinkholes?

—M. Hawes, Eagle Point, Ore.

It already has. The sinking of surface land (or subsidence) extends far beyond that. The removal of oil, gas, coal, and other minerals can lead to a variety of problems, including the possible activation of earthquake faults. What might surprise you is that the removal of groundwater is the most common cause of subsidence.

South-central Arizona is a prime example. In addition to its natural crevices, groundwater pumping has resulted in deep fissures, some hundreds of feet long.

Agencies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization have been working on the problem of subsidence for decades.

V E R S I N C E I WA S A He points to the half mile of wire in a typical mayoung boy, I’ve played the silchine, the thousands of components, the intricate ver ball. But I’m no longer a design, and the price tag—around $5000—for a new young boy. And the silver balls machine. And where do you put it? are disappearing.

“Years ago, when a kid went to pick up a pizza, Pinball is hanging by a he’d play a game of pinball while he waited,” Stern t h re a d . O n c e you couldn’t go to a bowling alley or an arcade without hearing the ching-ching-ching of those pleasure machines. The Who wrote a rock opera about a pinball player. Fonzie banged the flippers on Happy Days.

In the 1930s, there were around 150 small companies making some sort of pinball. As late as 1993, there were 100,000 machines sold in a year.

But this year, pinball production may be 10,000 machines total—all of them by one company. Famous names like Bally, Gottlieb, and Williams are gone. There is only one soldier left in the bells-and-bumpers army.

Stern Pinball. If it goes, pinball At Stern Pinball goes. employees must play “Don’t say we’re the last—say we’re the machines 15 minutes a day. the only,” president Gary Stern jokes. “ ‘Last’ sounds like we’re dying.”

Happily, The Only Pinball Maker on Earth is not dying. At 65, Stern remains an optimistic, wisecracking guru. He answers his own phone; no secretaries shield him. At his factory in Melrose Park, Ill., even high-level employees “must says. “Today he’s texting on his phone. play 15 minutes a day of pinball.” They make notes.

“Our competition now comes from video games, Discuss how a ball played. Stern’s father, Samuel, beXboxes, computer apps, even Internet gambling.” gan as a game operator in the 1930s. The son carries The game world has gone wireless and portable. A on—despite obstacles. machine that stands more than 6 feet tall and weighs “The economics of starting a pinball company nearly 300 pounds seems like a cruise ship. today wouldn’t make sense,” Stern says.

But that’s the uniqueness of pinball. You can’t just

do it while you’re bored at work. It’s a game of touch, action, movement, and unpredictability.

“The ball is wild,” Stern says. “That’s the magic.”

So Stern and company soldier on, producing a few new models each year. Movie and TV themes are the most popular (Batman, Shrek, Spider-Man), and in many cases, Stern licenses the real actors’ voices. (“Arnold Schwarzenegger did the lines for our Terminator machine.”)

Stern’s newest model is based on Avatar and will feature 3-D elements. It’s a long way from pinball’s roots, which stretch back to the French Bagatelle machines of the late 1700s. The coil-and-spring plunger was invented in 1871. Flippers came during the 1940s.

It would be a shame to lose something so steeped in the history of leisure time. “Certainly the world would exist without pinball,” Stern says, “but a little of the fabric of life would be gone.”

So The Only Pinball Maker on Earth keeps shipping his machines—to arcades, to overseas clients, to people’s homes. Maybe you played pinball as a kid. Maybe you had a favorite that you knew so well you could keep a ball alive for four or five minutes—until you heard that free-game knock. If so, you know the spark Gary Stern and his employees feel every day.

“In business school, they teach you to be in love with business, but not your business,” Stern says, chuckling. “We break that rule. We’re in love with our business. It’s pinball.”

The flippers are in good hands.

Without pinball, says Gary Stern, ‘a little bit of the fabric of life would be gone.’
