Freeze on federal salaries may affect more than 1,000 Central Oregonians

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Freezing the salaries of federal employees would affect more than a thousand Central Oregon workers, a group that’s among the most stable and highest-paid in the region.

President Barack Obama proposed on Monday freezing federal workers salaries for the next two years as a step to reduce the deficit. And although economists said a pay freeze could have a dispropor-

tionate effect locally, the proposal drew largely positive reactions from a handful of Oregon lawmakers, who said federal employees need to share in the nation’s belt-tightening.

With large U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management offices in the region, as well as a range of other federal employees, government jobs make up a small but important base of jobs for Central Oregon, said Carolyn Eagan, a research economist for WorkSource Oregon,

the state employment agency.

On average, federal workers earn $20,000 more annually than all Deschutes County workers — $56,482, compared with $35,307 for all industries — according to a 2009 U.S. Census survey that Eagan cited.

In Crook County, the average federal worker earned $55,920, compared with $31,193 for all workers. In Jefferson County, federal employees earned $49,055, compared with $32,347 for the county as a whole.

State OKs violent patient’s relocation to Bend Man convicted of beating to be held at new mental health facility

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Jeffrey Richard Weinman told members of a state board in Salem on Tuesday that he has no recollection of beating a petite, developmentally disabled woman — nearly to death — whom he had never met near Drake Park more than three years ago.

Weinman blamed the crime on a failure to take his medicine.

The state Psychiatric Security Review Board approved his release from the Oregon State Hospital: not to freedom, but — as an intermediate step — to a secure housing facility in Bend that’s set to open in January.

Jeffrey “I think with the control of my Weinman seizure disorders that I’ve taken charge of, and understanding my medical needs, I’m 99 per- Inside cent sure this will never happen • The 6 mental again,” he said, saying he takes at care facilities least 400 milligrams of Dilantin, operating an anti-seizure drug, every day. in Bend, “I’ve taken this very serious.”

bomb detection in Afghanistan Editor’s note: The Marines requested that their last names not be used, because they say a bounty — recently raised to $50,000 from $25,000 — had been placed on both handlers and dogs by al-Qaida.

Dixie watches another bomb detecting dog work with Marines in Hartsville, S.C. American K-9 Interdiction, based in Virginia, trains dogs and the Marines who are partnered with them.

By Jeff Wilkinson McClatchy -Tribune News Service

HARTSVILLE, S.C. — It’s a less than beautiful day in the bucolic fields of rural Darlington County, but the light rain isn’t dampening the first meeting between a group of 40 Labrador retrievers and their new Marine handlers.

It is training day for the Marines, not the dogs. The dogs are all pros, some champion retrievers, purchased for an average of $10,000 each, and trained and retrained to do one thing: find bombs in Afghanistan.

Most of the dogs have been deployed before — some multiple times.

The new Marine handlers — admitted “grunts,” many from a mortar company — are learning hand signals and prompts on special whistles. As first timers, they fumble.

Anne McQuary McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The dogs are patient.

One team stands out above the rest: a 26-year-old lance corporal from Liberia, via the Midwest’s Quad Cities, named Mathew and his yellow lab, Dixie. Mathew is no rookie, having been deployed as a handler once before. Dixie appears to be loving every second of the exercises.

“The dog is happy because he knows he knows his job,” Mathew said.

“The war in Afghanistan is (roadside bombs), not small arms,” Mathew said. “So we are really making a difference.”

There is still plenty of conventional fighting going on in Afghanistan. But more and more the conflict is becoming a war with roadside bombs, called improvised explosive devices by the military, or IEDs. See Dogs / A4

Weight-loss surgery, once a last resort for extremely overweight people, may soon become an option for those who are less heavy.

An advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration will consider Friday a request by Allergan, the pharmaceutical company, to significantly lower how obese someone must be to qualify for surgery using the company’s Lap-Band de- Inside vice, which restricts intake to the • Death rate stomach. increases On Wednesday, the FDA acwith BMI, knowledged that a new study by Page A4 the company showed that people in the proposed range of obesity who had the band experienced “statistically significant decreases in all measures of weight loss.”

If the agency approves the change, the number of Americans eligible for the lap-band operation could easily double, ensuring more sales for Allergan and probably more insurance coverage for such operations. The proposed change, sought at a time when the U.S. obesity epidemic seems intractable, still leaves some people uneasy, in part because of side effects and failure rates. In addition, long-term weight reduction is hard to maintain.

“You’re talking about millions and millions of people who would meet these criteria,” said Dr. George Blackburn, associate director of the division of nutrition at Harvard Medical School.

SEATTLE — Laid off at the start of the recession as the marketing director for a regional homebuilder, Leah Schedin quickly realized she lacked something essential for a new job: a university degree.

Schedin had completed courses here and there at a community college but never enough for a bachelor’s degree. Without one, she found, her 18 years of experience didn’t matter.

“These days, you’re applying online, and you’re filtered out as soon as you get to the question about whether you have a degree,” said the 46-year-old.

So Schedin put her talents to work finding a university where she could get academic credit for her work experience. She found one: City University of Seattle, a private, nonprofit institution that’s at the vanguard of a movement catering to the growing numbers of adult learners and military veterans who are changing careers in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

At the end of next semester, Schedin will head back into the churning job market with a fouryear degree in marketing after just 18 months.

Obama’s goal Universities and colleges are being pressed to increase graduation rates and speed up the time it takes for students to complete degrees by awarding college credit for their life and work experience. A national campaign that starts Friday will promote the sometimes-derided practice with a program to help adults prepare online portfolios of their job experience that independent faculty will evaluate for academic credit.

One hundred institutions in 30 states are on board. Top higher-

Lee Gorsuch, president of City University of Seattle, is working to develop programs that incorporate adult students’ work experience. education associations back the coalition, and major foundations are bankrolling it. It hopes to reach tens of thousands of people within five years.

The push coincides with President Barack Obama’s goal of boosting the number of college graduates by 5 million before the end of the decade, and it comes as states and higher-education institutions are moving away from strict demands for seat time and credit hours.

There’s a growing awareness that Obama’s goal can’t be reached without encouraging older students such as Schedin.

“My goal is to be back in my career,” Schedin said as she enjoyed some rare downtime in a corner of the CityU cafeteria. “I wanted to get through fast, and I wanted some credit for those years I’ve put in.”

Only a handful of people take advantage of the opportunity to cash in on work experience: Just two dozen out of CityU’s 2,500 American students have sought such credits, a ratio that’s similar to what other schools report.

“It’s just not happening at the pace or scale it should be, given all these people out there with

of Maryland University College, the online branch of the Maryland state university system.

“If you use a really rigorous assessment process, that is not the case.”

Credit for work experience can have its downsides. The credits are difficult to transfer if you change universities, and substituting them for introductory requirements can cause problems for students later in their careers, when they can’t keep up with classmates in writing or other basic academic skills.

Experiential learning was first tried after World War I, when

returning soldiers who enrolled in college were allowed to skip straight to sophomore year as a reward for their military service.

But they proved unprepared for more advanced work, and the practice largely lapsed.

Low U.S. college graduation rates are helping to drive a revival. Less than 60 percent of college students earn bachelor’s degrees within six years, and the U.S. has fallen from first in the world to 10th in the proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds with associate’s degrees or higher.

For a variety of reasons, increasing numbers of the nation’s 16 million university and college students are older than traditional high school graduates. Forty percent are 25 and older.

A study of 48 schools by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning found that students who get credit for their experience are more likely to complete degrees.

“All of our institutional frameworks have been created around 18-year-olds coming out of high schools without any experience.

They’re the empty vessels into which we pour knowledge. But when you’re a working adult, you’re hardly an empty vessel,” said Lee Gorsuch, the president of CityU. “You learn by doing,” Gorsuch added. “We’re not anti-intellectual, but can you balance a spreadsheet or can’t you?”

Universities aren’t doing this solely out of altruism. Adult learners increasingly seek schools that give them credit for experience, according to a survey by the higher-education marketing company Stamats. That means the potential for more tuition and more applicants, which enhances an institution’s reputation.

While no one tracks the number of credits awarded in this way, Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges, a consortium whose members offer academic credit for military experience, reports that 45,892 students earned 805,473 credits last year for their military training and experience. For those military students who are pursuing fouryear degrees, that’s an average of about 22 semester credits each out of the 120 to 180 credits that usually are needed.

Church charter schools: A growing, if controversial, trend

By Jessica Meyers The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — Students at Duncanville’s Advantage Academy follow biblical principles, talk openly about faith and receive guidance from a gregarious former pastor who still preaches when he speaks.

But his congregation is a swath of low-income students. And his sermon is an educator’s mantra about the opportunities of charter schools.

Advantage’s state-funded campuses showcase the latest breed of charter schools, born from faith-based principles and taxpayer funds. In Texas, more than 20 percent of charter schools have some kind of religious ties.

That’s the case for six of the seven approved this year.

Church-charter partnerships are springing up across the country as private institutions lose funding and nontraditional education models grow in popularity. Their emergence prompts questions about the role religious groups should play in the development of publicly funded schools.

“The church-state line is beginning to blur,” said Bruce Cooper, a professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education, who has studied religious charter schools. “We may be coming to a midpoint between the best of what is private and the best of what is public.”

Critics fear the fuzzy division means taxpayers are footing the bill for religious instruction.

“You have to wonder what the impetus is,” said Dan Quinn, a spokesman for Texas Freedom Network, an Austin watchdog group focused on church-state issues. “What is the catalyst for becoming a charter because at that point they’ve abandoned the mission of being a religious

“The church-state line is beginning to blur. We may be coming to a midpoint between the best of what is private and the best of what is public.”

— Bruce Cooper, professor, Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education institution?”

Charter schools are public schools run by private groups and approved by the State Board of Education. They are freed of many state rules. But they must adhere to the state’s accountability tests and maintain a separation of church and state. Religious groups may apply to open a charter school if they establish a separate nonprofit to receive state funds.

Advantage Academy sits in two nondescript one-story buildings on the edge of Duncanville, next to a bank and a guarded office complex. Poster board covers the walls inside with stenciled letters that read “Character Counts.” Reminders of the academy’s seven pillars, including integrity, humility and authority, hang in classrooms next to pie charts and pictures of President Barack Obama.

Advantage markets its teaching of creationism and intelligent design. It offers a Bible class as an elective and encourages personal growth through hard work and “faith in God and country.”

On a recent morning, a dozen uniformed seventh-graders hunched over worksheets, turning fractions into decimals.

Allen Beck, the academy’s

founder and a former Assemblies of God pastor, hopes to instill morals and ethics in students as they learn to count and read.

“America is in a battle between secularity and biblical thinking,” he said. “I want to fuse the two together in a legal way.”

Religiously affiliated charters like Beck’s tend to emphasize similar themes of developing character and shaping values.

His office is filled with books about Abraham Lincoln, seminary degrees and a whiteboard that details a path from victim to victory. “Education” appears as the middle link, right before “acting in faith.”

“It’s a balancing act,” he said.

The ties extend beyond Christian organizations. Houston’s highly regarded Harmony Public Schools are run by Turkish Muslims who embody the philosophies of a popular imam.

Islamic Relief sponsors Minnesota’s Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, whose curriculum emphasizes Muslim culture and Arabic language. Students at Ben Gamla Charter School in Florida eat kosher food in the cafeteria and learn Hebrew.

These charter schools may operate because they say they don’t endorse religion — they accommodate it.

They also provide space. Charter schools don’t receive local property taxes or state funds for construction, meaning they must scout their own locations.

Leadership Prep School found its home at Frisco’s Elevate Life Church. Steve Miner, the church’s business administrator, calls the relationship a tenant-renter one.

Frisco’s first charter school will open there next fall.

Members of Elevate Life approached church officials a year ago and asked if they’d help establish an alternative schooling

option in Collin County.

“A lot of community action is happening in our churches,” Miner said. “It seems like a natural alignment.”

The school will emphasize leadership, one of Elevate Life’s key principles. But pastors won’t work there, and no religious classes will take place during school hours, Miner said.

Lawrence Weinberg, who wrote one of the first books on religious charters, sees these connections as an inevitable part of public-private relationships.

As long as they don’t force faith

on students, he also sees them as hope.

“Urban education is in crisis,” he said. “If public schools are not doing their job and religious organizations are willing to make a partnership and educate these kids, be happy. That’s the starting point.”

T S White House Commission plan faces opposition from within rescinds plan to expand drilling in Gulf DEBT REDUCTION

By Jackie Calmes

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Members of President Barack Obama’s debt-reduction commission indicated Wednesday that they were split over their chairmen’s far-reaching plan for long-term spending cuts and tax increases, a development that suggests the proposal is more likely to lead to further political sparring next year than to legislation anytime soon.

As the chairmen released

their final package of proposals for trimming nearly $4 trillion from projected deficits through 2020, the 18-member commission met publicly for the first time since the midterm elections gave congressional Republicans more power, and more responsibility, for the nation’s problems.

In advance of the commission’s vote Friday, the divisions over how to curb the nation’s mounting debt were in sharp focus even as two senior members of the Senate Budget Commit-

tee lent the plan a measure of bipartisan support.

The senators — Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, a Republican, and Kent Conrad of North Dakota, a Democrat — joined in backing the plan, along with the two commission chairmen and three other members whom Obama named to the panel and are not elected officials. The commission includes 12 members of Congress and six private citizens, including the chairmen, former Republican Sen.

Alan Simpson of Wyoming, and Erskine Bowles, a Democrat and former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

“While there are things in this plan I dislike intensely, and I do, there are also things in this plan that I think are grand-slam home runs for the American economy and for the future competitive position of our country,” said Conrad, who will remain as the Budget Committee’s chairman in the next Congress.

Terror-linked arrests in Spain and Thailand

GAYS IN THE MILITARY

’Don’t ask, don’t tell’ repeal efforts stalled by Republicans WASHINGTON — Efforts to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law hit another snag Wednesday as Senate Republicans vowed to block any legislation unrelated to government spending or tax cuts, including a defense bill that would end the ban on gays serving openly in the military.

The GOP promise came a day after the Pentagon released a report that pointed a way forward toward ending the ban and as Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen and the report’s coauthors prepared to testify today before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“We’ve had our heads in this thing for nine-plus months and it’s absolutely fair for the Senate to ask how we got to where we got to,” Army Gen. Carter Ham, who co-wrote the Pentagon study with Defense Department

Activists want Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, to stand by her promise to vote with Democrats on the measure if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., allows for the introduction of Republican amendments.

About 30 percent of survey respondents cited in the report predicted some degree of negative views or concerns about ending the ban. Opposition and concern were higher among the Marine Corps and other combat specialties.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., a moderate on social issues and a commander in the Navy Reserve, said that he was still reading the report and that he plans to meet next week with Adm. Gary Roughead, the chief of naval operations.

“Obviously, I take the judgment of all the joint chiefs, but coming from the Navy I particularly place weight on what the CNO says,” Kirk said.

MADRID — The police in Spain and Thailand arrested 10 people suspected of operating a counterfeiting network that provided fake European passports to terrorist groups linked to alQaida in order to smooth their entry into Western countries, the Spanish Interior Ministry said Wednesday.

Seven people — six Pakistanis and one Nigerian — were arrested in Barcelona in raids late Tuesday and early Wednesday.

Three more people — two Pakistanis and one Thai — were arrested in Bangkok in the same period, the ministry said in a statement.

One of the Pakistanis arrested in Bangkok, a 42-year-old named Muhammad Athar Butt, known as Tony, directed the forging operation from Thailand, according to a Spanish security official. Butt was also in charge of cells in Brussels and London, said the security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was talking about a current investigation.

The arrests struck at “an important passport operation for al-Qaida, weakening its international counterfeiting apparatus, and therefore, its capacity to operate,” the ministry statement said, adding that the raids came after a year-and-a-half-long international investigation, which is continuing.

The police said the network was linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based terror group behind attacks in Mumbai, India, in November 2008 that killed at least 163 people. The network also provided counterfeit passports and other documents to the Tamil Tigers, the Sri Lankan separatist group defeated last year by the government after decades of war, the police said.

GI reaches deal to testify in Afghan shooting The Associated Press JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. — An Army staff sergeant charged with shooting at unarmed Afghans this year pleaded guilty Wednesday in a deal that requires him to testify against other defendants implicated in an alleged scheme to kill civilians for kicks.

Staff Sgt. Robert Stevens, of Portland, admitted to aggravated assault, lying to investigators and other charges at his courtmartial. Prosecutors dropped a conspiracy charge as part of the plea agreement, which still must be accepted by a military judge.

general counsel Jeh Johnson, said this week in an interview.

Many high-ranking military leaders, including some who will testify before the Senate panel on Friday, remain skeptical about or resistant to changing the law — something that Republican opponents are sure to draw upon.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced Wednesday that it had rescinded its decision to expand offshore oil exploration into the eastern Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic Coast because of weaknesses in federal regulation revealed by the BP oil spill.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that a moratorium on drilling would be in force in those areas for at least seven years, until stronger safety and environmental standards were in place. The move puts off limits millions of acres of the Outer Continental Shelf that hold potentially billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas.

The latest decision is an admission that the plan announced last spring to open vast new coastal areas to oil and gas development was made without heeding the dangers of deepwater drilling and the profound flaws in the government’s program for overseeing it.

“As a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, we learned a number of lessons,” Salazar said in an afternoon briefing, “most importantly that we need to proceed with caution and focus on creating a more stringent regulatory regime.”

After the BP spill, Salazar disbanded the discredited agency charged with regulating offshore oil and gas operations, the Minerals Management Service, and replaced it with a new bureau with enhanced powers.

Exploration and production will continue in the central and western Gulf of Mexico

The Washington Post

New York Times News Service

Call for new study Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the committee’s ranking Republican, was reading the report, a spokeswoman said. He disagrees with how the Pentagon reviews the issue and has called for a new study.

The GOP lawmakers’ vow to block non-spending bills “definitely raises the stress level and adds another complication into the mix,” said Alexander Nicholson, executive director of Servicemembers United, a group pushing to end the ban. “But I think there is some hope.”

The judge, Lt. Col. Kwasi Hawks, was expected to issue a sentence late Wednesday, said Army spokeswoman Maj. Kathy Turner. The maximum possible was 19 years, but the sentence cannot exceed the agreed-upon cap set forth in the plea agreement, which had not been disclosed, she said.

Five soldiers are charged with killing three civilians in Kandahar Province this year.

Stevens is not one of them but acknowledged that in March he followed an order from Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs to shoot at two Afghans in a field who posed no threat. Those Afghans were not injured.

Stevens and six others face other misconduct allegations, ranging from drug use to beating up a fellow soldier, stemming from an investigation of the unit’s activities.

Stevens could provide valuable testimony against Gibbs, the highest ranking soldier charged in the killings.

Gibbs is accused of leading the alleged murder plot and putting together a “kill team” to carry out unprovoked attacks.

He insists all of the shootings were justified.

Stevens, a friend of Gibbs, told investigators that he joined Gibbs on patrols even though he was in a different unit.

under new safeguards put in place after the deadly BP Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in April.

Shell’s pending lease in the Arctic Ocean off the Alaska coast will be honored, but drilling will be allowed only after a new environmental review is completed and additional spill response requirements are met.

Other potential drilling sites in the Arctic will be studied before any leasing decisions are made for the 2012-2017 period, Salazar said.

The administration imposed a moratorium in May on all deepwater offshore drilling while the new safety procedures were drawn up. Salazar lifted the ban in October, and oil companies have been seeking new permits to resume exploration in the gulf. Oil industry executives complained Wednesday that the government was overreacting to the BP spill and said that the new safeguards being imposed were more than adequate to prevent another major spill.

“This is an unfortunate decision that will eliminate badly needed government revenues, inhibit employment growth and increase reliance on imported energy,” said Kenneth Cohen, vice president of public and government affairs at ExxonMobil. “It ignores the industry’s track record and commitment to improving environmental and safety performance as well as the overwhelming evidence that the Gulf of Mexico spill resulted from practices far outside industry norms.”

A Marine and his dog Dixie, finish a training session in an open field in Hartsville, S.C.

Dogs Continued from A1 South Carolina is aiding that fight.

In addition to bomb-detecting dogs trained in Hartsville, Shaw Air Force Base has a bomb-disposal unit like the one in “The Hurt Locker” movie, and a South Carolina Army National Guard unit currently is patrolling roads in Afghanistan. That duty is called “route clearance” — keeping supply lines for U.S. troops free of bombs.

Two members of that unit, the Graniteville-based 122st Engineer Company, were killed in October.

Since 2006, the United States has spent $9.5 billion developing strategies and equipment to detect IEDs, according to the Pentagon.

It has spent an additional $5.4 billion infiltrating and attacking bomb-making networks.

The number of roadside bomb incidents in Afghanistan spiked to 8,994 in 2009 from 2,677 in 2007. By Oct. 21 of this year, that number had risen to 10,500.

By comparison, Iraq reported nearly 24,000 bomb incidents in 2007. Thus far in 2010, however, that number has dropped to just more than 1,100.

While the military, in general, has invested heavily in new armored vehicles, robots and surveillance equipment, the Ma-

Surgery Continued from A1 “Let’s make sure by the most rigorous research that this is safe and effective.”

A new generation of diet pills has failed to gain federal approval, limiting options for overweight Americans, and Allergan and other companies are betting that surgery will become more of a frontline option rather than a last resort.

“It would be kind of ironic if people have access to surgery and not medical therapies, where they can go from Weight Watchers to surgery and have nothing in between,” said Dr. Louis Aronne, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medical College.

“But it appears it may be the way it will be in the near future.”

Doctors have already started to operate on extremely heavy teenagers, and some experts are recasting weight-loss procedures, known as bariatric surgery, as metabolic surgery, saying that it might be justified to treat diabetes, even in people who are barely obese or not obese. Gastric banding involves placing an inflatable silicone ring around the upper part of the stomach, which limits food consumption and makes one feel full faster.

Current guidelines say weight loss surgery is appropriate for people who have failed to lose weight through diet and exercise and have a body mass index, or BMI, of 40 and above, or 35 and above if a person has at least one serious health problem, like diabetes or high blood pressure, that is tied to obesity. Allergan wants to lower the threshold for the lap-band to a BMI of 35 with no associated health problems and to 30 with such problems.

For instance, a person who is 5-feet-6 inches and has diabetes would have to weigh 216 pounds to qualify now. Under the proposed lower threshold, that person could weigh 30 pounds less, or 186 pounds.

Federal statistics suggest that nearly 20 percent of the adult population has a BMI between 30 and 35, more than double the population above 35. Probably half or more of the people between 30 and 35 have some associated health condition.

Bariatric surgeons and some

“You learn to baby-sit the people as much as the dogs. My hobby turned into a profession.”

— Richard McDonald, master trainer, American K-9 Interdiction rines are going more and more low-tech.

More than 200 bomb-sniffing retrievers — yellow, black and chocolate Labs — are deployed with the Marines in Afghanistan now. An additional 100, including Dixie, have been deployed and are retraining in Hartsville under a $34 million contract with Virginia-based American K-9 Interdiction.

But the Marines want 300 more dogs and plan to announce another contract this month.

Labradors only The dogs are exclusively Labrador retrievers. The dogs are trained easily, want to please their handlers, are friendly, and have been bred for years to use their noses to detect and retrieve.

The Labs that land in the Marine training program are the best of the best.

“We want high-drive dogs, dogs that are bred for competition,” said Richard McDonald, the company’s master trainer and a Hartsville resident. “These dogs are thoroughbreds.”

McDonald started training

dogs for competition in 1983 as a hobby. After seeing some success, he began training dogs for other people.

“You learn to baby-sit the people as much as the dogs,” he said. “My hobby turned into a profession.”

‘Dual purpose’ McDonald became a chief trainer at Auburn University, then was tapped by American K-9 Intervention.

He said the dogs in the program are special because they are trained to work “off leash” or be “dual purpose,” as opposed to most bomb sniffing dogs, which work exclusively “on leash” or “single purpose.”

Dual purpose means the Labs can roam free on patrols, following their handlers’ hand signals and whistles to locations of suspected bombs up to 300 yards away from the humans they are trying to protect.

When a dog finds a bomb, it doesn’t try to retrieve it or bark loudly, like a drug-sniffing dog.

Instead, it simply lies down beside the device.

Study: Risk of death increases with BMI LOS ANGELES — Doctors and public health officials have been admonishing us for years that it’s unhealthy to carry around extra pounds. A new study quantifies just how much that additional weight increases one’s risk of untimely death and finds that being even a few pounds overweight makes a measurable difference.

Researchers analyzed the body mass index, or BMI, of 570,000 men and women who had never smoked and followed them for an average of 10 years. They concluded that for every five-point increase in BMI — the equivalent of jumping from the healthy to the overweight category, or from overweight to obese — the chance of untimely death rose by 31 percent. The results were published in today’s edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Considering that two-thirds of Americans are overweight of obese, “even a small increase in the risk of death can be a real public health problem and result in a large number of deaths,” said Amy Berrington de Gonzalez, an epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute and lead author of the study.

Studies have shown that people who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer — all conditions that can cause an untimely death. But the effect of excess pounds on death from any cause is less clear.

So an international group of researchers combed through 19 studies — most of them designed to investigate cancer — and found data on 1.46 million white adults between the ages of 19 and 84. About 60 percent of them were excluded from the analysis because they were smokers or former smokers, which complicates the relationship between weight and death, or because they had pre-existing health conditions like cancer or heart disease.

— McClatchy-Tribune News Service obesity experts say that surgery has proven to be the only way many people can lose a lot of weight and keep it off, and some cite a Swedish study suggesting that it prolonged lives. And, they say, the operations have become safer since the obesity thresholds were first set in 1991 in a meeting organized by the National Institutes of Health.

Risk-benefit ratio “The whole risk-benefit ratio is completely different than it was back then,” said Dr. Marc Bessler, chief of the division of minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Columbia University.

Banding is a less radical operation than the main alternative, the gastric bypass. It is also reversible and costs less — from $12,000 to more than $20,000, compared with $20,000 to more than $30,000 for a bypass. Banding also leads to a weight loss of about 20 percent on average, though, less than that of bypass.

Bypass has been the preferred operation in the United States,

although Allergan executives said on a recent call with investors that banding now has about 50 percent market share. Within the banding market, Allergan’s lap-band has about 70 percent market share, according to the company, with the rest belonging to the Realize Band sold by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, a division of Johnson & Johnson. Allergan’s band was approved in 2001.

To win approval of the lower threshold, Allergan sponsored a study in which 149 of these less obese people had the band implanted. About 80 percent of the participants achieved the goal of losing at least 30 percent of their excess weight, meaning the amount by which they were overweight, after one year. About 70 percent of patients experienced a side effect, like vomiting or pain.

The FDA indicated Wednesday that it had questions about how meaningful the weight loss was and whether the results of the study would be applicable to people other than the white women who made up a large portion of the participants.

“You take all that breeding and training through the years and you adapt it,” company coowner Nigel Rhodes said.

So far, the company has lost just one dog, Tar. Tar was killed by a bomb that he found in April, shortly after his deployment. “He found an IED, laid down beside it, and the IED was set off by a remote-control device,” McDonald said.

And, yes, dogs can suffer posttraumatic stress syndrome.

In fact, on this day, one of the stressed Labs, a chocolate named Buck, is among the dog-handler teams training. Buck was shaken up in Afghanistan and, while he still is used for training, “he won’t be going back in-country,” McDonald said.

“Dogs are just like people,” he said. “Some have stronger constitutions than others.”

Even on this training day, Buck is a little skittish around his new handler, needing some coaxing to work with the Marine.

That is another way these dogs are so special and so valuable, McDonald said.

Most bomb- and drug-sniffing dogs only will work exclusively, with a single trainer. These dogs are so highly motivated and attuned to their jobs that they will work with any trained handler at any time.

Said McDonald: “They are a whole new type of dog.”

One factor that is moving some experts to advocate surgery for lower body mass index levels is its effectiveness in resolving diabetes, hypertension and some other ills associated with obesity.

“There are dramatic metabolic effects that in many cases go well beyond the weight loss effects,” said Dr. Lee Kaplan, director of the weight center at Massachusetts General Hospital.

He said that while it was once thought that surgery worked mainly by mechanically restricting how much one can eat, it is becoming clear that gastric bypass, at least, has effects on hormones.

Even if Allergan’s application is approved, perhaps a small fraction of the new candidates are likely to opt for surgery because many people avoid operations.

“I don’t think it’s enough to overwhelm the health care system,” said Dr. Bruce Wolfe, president of American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, whose executive council unanimously endorsed Allergan’s proposal. “That’s not happening with the people who are heavier and need it even more.”

220,000 surgeries performed in 2009 The society says that 220,000 bariatric surgeries of all kinds were performed in the United States last year. That is more than twice as many as in 2003 but represents a small fraction of the potential pool.

Still, some less obese patients do want the surgery. Some online discussion boards tell of people who purposely gained weight to qualify, and some messages give advice to others on wearing hidden weights.

Rashida Brown says she wants surgery to help control her diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. But her insurer has refused to pay twice in the past few years. At the time, Brown, who is 5-feet-7, weighed 195 to 220 pounds, putting her index below 35.

“I am willing to bet there are quite a few people in the same category as myself — just waiting,” said Brown, 53, a clinical social worker from Boston.

She may still have to wait, now that she weighs 175 pounds — putting her below even the proposed lower threshold.

Continued from A1 The number of federal employees varies depending on the survey, but in Deschutes County, that figure was 750 workers last month, based on a state survey, although a U.S. Census estimate this summer put the number at more than 1,200, Eagan said. The state survey estimated more than 300 federal workers in Crook County and 140 in Jefferson County.

One reason federal employees are paid more, Eagan said, is that they tend to have more education than the work force at large. Federal jobs also tend to be full-time, as opposed to the part-time or seasonal jobs that make up much of the area’s tourism economy.

“Of course if you’re working part time you’re earning less,” Eagan said.

The regional economy could be more damaged if the current federal budget problems led to cuts in the number of government jobs. Those workers on average likely have a higher disposable income than others.

“When you lose a job that’s earning $55,000 per year, that person doesn’t go out to lunch as much, doesn’t go out to dinner as much,” Eagan said. “There’s a ripple effect in terms of purchasing power of our work force.”

Broader effect University of Oregon economist Mark Thoma agreed that, because spending has a multiplier effect, the impact would go beyond just the federal employees.

If there’s less money in the region, “that translates somewhere into lost jobs,” Thoma said.

But U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Canby, said it’s only fair for federal employees to put off cost of living raises for the next two years. After all, state and local government employees have already taken furlough days, wage freezes and made other concessions, in the face of declining budgets.

www.OasisSpaofBend.com

“It’s only fair for federal employees should share some solidarity,” with other government workers, Schrader said. “They still have good jobs, still have pensions, still have health care.”

Because federal workers make more, on average, those households would be less likely to take a big hit from the pay freeze, Thoma said.

“Higher incomes are more likely to be able to weather that,” Thoma said.

The freeze wouldn’t apply to military personnel. Civilian employees could still receive higher pay through promotions, the Associated Press reported. The freeze does not include a stop on new hiring, bonuses or step increases, according to The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, DPortland, said a federal salary freeze should be on the table as part of the larger budget balancing discussion. Obama’s proposal would save an estimated $5 billion, spread out over nearly 2 million federal employees, according to the White House.

“It all needs to be done in the context of the bigger picture,” Blumenauer said.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, voted for a similar pay freeze proposal earlier this year.

Republicans proposed freezing federal salaries for one year after it won a weekly online poll as part of the YouCut program, which allowed the public to vote for spending cuts online.

Although the proposal would only fill a tiny fraction of the federal deficit, Blumenauer said it makes sense to consider everything.

“You can’t have everything in the budget on autopilot,” he said.

Obama’s proposal needs Congressional approval, which may not arrive until next year, due to a tight schedule before the Christmas break and opposition from some Democratic leaders.

Weinman Continued from A1 “He’s scared of having seizures,” said David Eason, the state psychiatrist. “Is he remorseful? Absolutely.”

The parents of his victim, Meredith Graham, however, spoke in opposition to his release from the state hospital, saying he remains an “ongoing threat” to the community.

Testifying from California by telephone, Barrie Graham said Weinman has a history of not taking his medication or listening to those supervising him, alluding to his history of methamphetamine abuse and arrests on charges including theft, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and driving under the influence between 1999 and 2006.

At the time of the assault, Graham added, Weinman tested positive for a “therapeutic dose of Dilantin. … Obviously it did not prevent him from attacking someone.”

Testimony at Tuesday’s hearing detailed how one encounter sent two lives spinning in opposite directions.

On July 10, 2007, Weinman ran screaming at Meredith Graham, then 22, and began beating her with both fists, only to be subdued by passers-by including a former sheriff’s deputy named Aaron Craig, who may have saved her life.

Weinman told James Kinsella, the responding officer from the Bend Police Department, that he was “the Lord” and would kill everyone. The construction worker had to be pepper-sprayed, Tasered and subdued using handcuffs, leg hobbles and a hood to stop him from spitting on the police.

6 mental care homes operating in Bend

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

As of January, there will be six state-licensed facilities for people with mental illnesses in Deschutes County. All of them are in Bend.

Following the decision of the Oregon Psychiatric Security Review Board Wednesday, Jeffrey Weinman will be placed in the new locked residential treatment facility in north Bend. Deschutes County built the facility for the state, and county officials expect it to open in January.

Residents at the new facility will be patients who were committed to state mental health facilities or found guilty except for insanity by the courts. They will not be able to come and go at will. Some might earn privileges to go on outings, first with staff and later on their own, based on clinical evaluations. Security measures include locked doors on a card reader system, tempered glass windows and an Kinsella, who also testified by telephone, called the incident “extremely violent and extremely concerning, not only to myself but to the other officers that responded to it. We like to think we have a safe community here and a random attack such as that doesn’t occur very often.”

Anxiety prone and agoraphobic, Meredith had been living at an independent living center in Bend, the goal being that “she would have an environment that was safe and secure so she could learn to live on her own,”

8-foot-tall cyclone fence.

Two new residential treatment homes opened this fall in northeast Bend. They were met with opposition from some neighbors, who were concerned about issues ranging from public safety to parking. These homes serve patients diagnosed with serious mental illnesses, who come from the state hospital, are at risk of hospitalization, or cannot live on their own without supportive services. Residential treatment homes have roundthe-clock staff and residents are required to attend treatment and follow a curfew. But patients at these homes can also come and go.

Adult foster homes There are also two adult foster homes for people with serious mental illnesses in Bend. These are for clients who are judged to need a lower level of care and less support, although their illnesses are similar to those of said her father, Barrie, adding that he and her mother, Julianna, had been “very encouraged” by her progress.

Now, Meredith stays at home watching TV, and cries and shakes when she is reminded of the attack, according to her parents. She has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and remains facially disfigured by the assault.

Weinman is another story.

The 42-year-old said he’s used the incident as a learning experience, his heightened selfawareness helping him swear

people living in the residential treatment facilities.

The sixth state-licensed treatment facility is called Hosmer House, and it is in a different area of northeast Bend. This residential treatment home houses patients found guilty except for insanity by the courts.

It is currently the only place in Deschutes County with residents who are under the state board’s jurisdiction, after they were found guilty but for insanity.

Patient information As with the other residential treatment homes, patients at Hosmer House have a curfew and can come and go.

The Oregon Psychiatric Security Review Board recently released information about the three residents under its jurisdiction at Hosmer House, in response to a public records request by The Bulletin.

One woman living at the house is currently under the off drugs and alcohol and get better at taking his medicine.

Whereas sometimes he’d forgotten to take his medication before the assault, he said, “since then I’ve gotten a pill box so that I know 100 percent whether I’ve taken it or not.”

He said he had given up meth and alcohol, though not marijuana, at the time of the assault.

However, Eason, the state psychiatrist, said he and another psychiatrist suspected he was on meth at the time of the assault, even though a blood

A male resident was found guilty but for insanity on a charge of first-degree arson in 2006, in Multnomah County Circuit Court, according to the review board and the State of Oregon Judicial Department database.

A second male resident was found guilty but for insanity on the charges of felon in possession of a firearm, and first-degree theft, according to the review board. It was not clear from state records where that crime occurred.

test for the drug came up negative. That’s because Weinman reported going without sleep for nearly a week, as well as a low appetite — common symptoms of meth use.

Tom Castle, senior assistant attorney general, argued that ideally, Weinman should not be released from the Oregon State Hospital. He said Weinman seems insincere about his desire to get well, despite the fact that “he does everything and says everything correctly” while in custody.

Weinman’s defense lawyer,

Harris Matarazzo, of Portland, attributed the criticism of his client to problems communicating, saying Weinman has a “verbal IQ of 78. … Jeff is a guy who can build you a garage, but talking about his feelings is not his strength.”

The board said Weinman should be released to a new mental health facility that will open in Bend in January on Poe Sholes Road.

There, he will be kept in a locked building that he cannot leave unless he has permission and supervision.

He will continue to participate in counseling and substance abuse treatment, as well as unannounced urine screenings. And he will be monitored to ensure he takes his medication. The permission of the state PSRB is required before he can get a job.

In 2008, Weinman was found guilty but insane by a Deschutes County Circuit Court judge. He was sentenced to up to 20 years in the Oregon State Hospital.

He will remain under board jurisdiction for another 18 years unless deemed healthy enough to be discharged.

Following the board’s ruling, Weinman was surrounded by family members and a woman he identified as the same girlfriend he had at the time of the assault.

Asked about his feelings about his situation, Weinman said, “I’m not a bad guy. I didn’t target anyone,” and cited his mental condition.

“I just want to say I’m sorry for the victims. I hope that someday down the road — I know it probably won’t be soon — they can forgive me.”

A softer side to policing in China

By Sharon LaFraniere New York Times News Service

CHENGDU, China — Like an urban drill sergeant, Tang Shenbin paced on a city square, sternly inspecting his nervous charges, issuing sotto voce commands with military authority.

He wanted the female members of chengguan — China’s burly enforcers of urban order, feared and despised for their capricious crackdowns and penchant for violence — to convey a certain impression to a clutch of onlookers.

“Stand straight! Look sharp!”

Show them, he whispered, “what pretty girls are like!”

Four barely-past-teenage girls in white gloves and identical olive jackets and pants snapped to attention. Four pairs of black pumps lined up ruler-straight.

Four prim hats perched perfectly atop hair bound in blue and white striped bows.

“Personally, I think they are average-looking,” Tang said, dismissively. “Models are pretty.”

Improving image More than one government has tried to brush up the image of China’s urban inspectors.

One city mandated that all new recruits have a college degree.

Guangdong province changed the gray-green uniforms to a supposedly more inviting blue.

Wuhan, in central China, substituted stare-downs for strongarming: In 2009, one report stated, 50 officers encircled a wayward snack cart, glowering steadily for a half hour until the peddler packed up and left.

Xindu, an urban district of 680,000 in Chengdu, has chosen major image surgery. Since 2003,

the district has supplemented its urban street police with 13 women, specifically chosen for their looks, shapeliness and youth. The idea is to give the rough-hewn police a softer, feminine side.

Unfortunately, even Scarlett Johansson might struggle to raise China’s subterranean regard for these city squads.

And for good reason, critics would argue. Unlike the police, these officers are authorized only to enforce city ordinances by imposing fines and other administrative penalties. But the Chinese media routinely portray a different reality.

Inspector violence In January 2008, Hubei province inspectors beat a bystander to death after he used his cell phone to film them breaking up a protest against a waste dump.

Last year, a training manual for Beijing inspectors, pilfered and posted online, described how to effectively thrash offenders without drawing blood.

This year, a Shanghai watermelon peddler was left braindamaged after a scuffle with five officers. One violence-soaked video game, available for download online, features Chinesetrained inspectors who assault street vendors.

“Chengguan has scarred the government,” China Daily, a national publication, lamented last year after yet another controversy over tactics. The paper demanded a “truly thorough clean-up.”

Skeptics say the approach here falls far short of that. After the district advertised for eight female recruits in October, an edito-

rial in The Beijing Evening News questioned whether the women had actual duties or were simply scenic diversions. The answer appears to be a little of both. The district’s advertisement called for female applicants 18 to 22 years old, with a good figure and “the five facial features in proper order.” They should be above-average height — taller than 1.6 meters or 5 feet, 21⁄2 inches.

Retirement at age 26 is mandatory. Officials said the job was physically too arduous for women over 25.

“Their image is the important thing,” one unnamed district official told Rednet.com, a quasigovernmental website. “First, the candidates’ external qualities will determine if they make the cut, such as height, weight, facial features, etc.” Next comes temperament and “inner qualities.”

Flower vases Female chengguan are like flower vases, he said, adding, “Besides being vases, they will have other responsibilities.”

Zheng Lihua, the deputy director of the district’s city management bureau, is not eager to endorse that description. But he noted that height requirements were standard in many Chinese job advertisements for both sexes. So is the demand for orderly facial features.

Whether that means goodlooking is a matter of debate among Chinese. Certainly, the disabled or disfigured need not apply.

“We can’t let a lame person or a hunchback come to serve here,” Zheng said. “His image would not be good.”

the one that culminated Tuesday in the Wichita City Hall parking lot. Authorities say an Army veteran followed a vehicle carrying five Westboro members.

What made it different, she said, is that the man had guns and abundant ammunition with him in his vehicle .

Authorities found two handguns, a rifle and more than 90 rounds of ammunition.

The man was arrested and remained in jail Wednesday on suspicion of stalking, driving on a revoked license and false impersonation.

WIKILEAKS

Media in China, Mideast ignore leaks

By Keith B. Richburg The Washington Post

BEIJING — Revelations by the organization WikiLeaks have received blanket coverage this week on television, in newspapers and on websites around the globe. But in parts of the world where the leaks have some of the greatest potential to sow controversy, they have barely caused a ripple.

Authoritarian governments and tightly controlled media in China and across the Arab Middle East have suppressed virtually all mention of the documents, avoiding the public backlash that could result from such candid portrayals of their leaders’ views.

In China, the WikiLeaks site has been blocked by the government’s “Great Firewall,” and access to other sources for the documents has been restricted. Most Chinese are unable to read the contents of the diplomatic cables — including reports that China’s Politburo ordered the hacking of Google’s computer system and that Chinese leaders expressed frustration that ally North Korea was behaving like a “spoiled child.”

In many Arab countries, the mainstream media have largely avoided reporting on the sensitive contents of the cables, including accounts of Arab leaders drinking alcohol and siding with Israel in advocating a U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Most Arabs don’t know what’s come out in these WikiLeaks documents,” said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Institution’s Doha Center. “If they did know, there would be an angry reaction.”

Diplomats fretted over Canadian mistrust toward U.S.

By Charlie Savage New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — In early 2008, American diplomats stationed in Ottawa turned on their television sets and were aghast: There was an “onslaught” of Canadian shows depicting “nefarious American officials carrying out equally nefarious deeds in Canada,” from planning to bomb Quebec to stealing Canadian water supplies.

In a confidential diplomatic cable sent back to the State Department, the American Embassy warned of increasing mistrust of the United States by He added that opposition Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt might try to capitalize on documents that underscore their arguments that Arab leaders are subservient to the United States and that they do not reflect the interests of their own people.

A quandary In Egypt and the larger Arab world, the massive collection of State Department documents has created a quandary for the media, said Hisham Qasim, an independent newspaper publisher and media analyst in Egypt.

“They’re still trying to figure this out, and there is definitely some censorship and self-censorship,” he said.

In many Arab countries, criticizing a leader is a line that must

its northern neighbor, with which it shares some $500 billion in annual trade, the world’s longest unsecured border and a joint military mission in Afghanistan.

A trove of diplomatic cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and made available to a number of publications, disclose a perception by American diplomats that Canadians “always carry a chip on their shoulder” in part because of a feeling that their country “is condemned to always play ‘Robin’ to the U.S. ‘Batman.’”

But at the same time, some Canadian officials privately

tried to make it clear to their American counterparts that they did not share their society’s persistent undercurrent of antiAmericanism.

In July 2008, Canada’s intelligence service director, James Judd, discussed a video showing a crying Omar Khadr, then a teenager and a Canadian detainee at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Judd “observed that the images would no doubt trigger ‘knee-jerk antiAmericanism’ and ‘paroxysms of moral outrage, a Canadian specialty.’”

A cable briefing President

not be crossed; in Jordan, it is illegal to criticize the king. Most mainstream Arab media outlets are government-owned, and the portion of the public with Internet access is far lower than it is in China and the West.

Newspapers in the region this week have largely relied on brief wire service articles about the diplomatic cables and devoted little space to commentary or original reporting.

“Give it a day or two and we’ll see if they deal with this or take a rain check,” Qasim said.

Although the mainstream Arab media shied away from the story, a lively debate is under way online.

In China, meanwhile, the few newspaper stories about the cables that did appear focussed mainly on the U.S. government’s reaction to the leaks and the pos-

sibility that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could face charges in the United States.

China’s Communist leaders instead seem to be using the WikiLeaks disclosures as a justification for their own tight control of information and broad censorship policies.

“Leaked information could severely damage the social stability of nations that are not able to handle the release of so much sensitive information,” China’s Global Times wrote.

U.S. complicity?

There was also rife speculation about how so many sensitive documents could have become public — and suspicion, in Beijing and in Arab capitals, that the U.S. government may actually be complicit in the leaks.

George W. Bush before a visit to Ottawa in late 2004 shed further light on the asymmetrical relationship with Canada — a country, the embassy wrote, that was engaged in “soulsearching” about its “decline from ‘middle power’ status to that of an ‘active observer’ of global affairs, a trend which some Canadians believe should be reversed.”

After President Barack Obama’s election, the embassy reported that Canadian officials had a different potential irritant: Obama was far more popular in Canada than they were.

“Is there some tacit understanding between the website and the U.S. government?” asked the lead editorial in Wednesday’s edition of the Global Times, an English-language tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party’s newspaper, the People’s Daily.

One common view in authoritarian countries was that dissidents, pro-democracy activists and others might now be more reticent when speaking to American diplomats, not knowing if their private words might be publicly reported — leaving them to face reprisals from their governments.

“The Chinese government restricts freedom of speech, and an incident like this will make a lot of trouble.” said Tsering Woeser, a Tibetan poet and blogger who is regularly under surveillance.

WASHINGTON — WikiLeaks was on the defensive on several fronts Wednesday, scrambling to remain on the Internet and post more U.S. diplomatic documents while its fugitive founder Julian Assange was targeted by a European arrest warrant on Swedish rape charges.

Amazon.com, a former partner of the website, prevented WikiLeaks from using the U.S. company’s computers to distribute embarrassing State Department communications and other documents, WikiLeaks said Wednesday. The WikiLeaks site was unavailable before it moved back to servers owned by its previous Swedish host, Bahnhof.

At the same time, Swedish officials intensified legal pressure on Assange by asking European police to arrest him on rape allegations that have shadowed him for weeks.

Swedish Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny said that the warrant had been issued for Assange in connection with the allegations filed against him in that country.

The White House said Wednesday it was taking new steps to protect government secrets after WikiLeaks release of thousands of sensitive U.S. diplomatic cables. Officials said national security adviser Tom Donilon has appointed a senior aide to identify and develop reforms needed in light of the document dump.

Seattle Genetics Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. may beat Roche Holding in developing a new type of combination cancer therapy that’s less toxic than standard treatments.

The product, SGN-35, uses an antibody that recognizes and connects to receptors found only on the surface of malignant cells. Once there, the therapy releases a powerful chemical called auristatin that kills cancer cells by stopping them from dividing. By keeping that drug out of the bloodstream and away from healthy tissue, the treatment avoids the side effects of standard chemotherapy.

Two studies on SGN-35’s use in lymphoma, to be reported at a medical meeting next week, may allow Osaka, Japan-based Takeda and Seattle Genetics, of Bothell, Washington, to win U.S. clearance a year before Roche’s similar therapy, called T-DM1. If approved, SGN-35 may generate $420 million in annual revenue by 2015, said Jason Kantor, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets.

The two drugs “are the tip of an iceberg,” said Kantor, who is based in San Francisco, in a telephone interview. “Once one of these drugs proves itself clinically and is approved, we’re going to see many more over the next three to five years. And they will have a meaningful impact on cancer treatment.”

WikiLeaks sees conflict on all fronts

Former South Korean special agents whose mission was to infiltrate North Korea shout slogans outside the houses destroyed by North Korean shelling last week during a rally on Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea, on Wednesday. The veterans criticized the North’s attack and urged the South Korean government to punish Pyongyang. The head bands read “Revenge Punish.”

In N. Korea, foreigner finds life undisturbed

By Mark McDonald New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — While North Korea’s state-run media continued to rage over the military exercises being held off the North’s coastline, saying the four days of drills that ended Wednesday afternoon had brought the Korean Peninsula to “the brink of war,” much of daily life in the secretive North appeared remarkably normal, or at least what passes for normal.

Accounts from the North reaching Seoul suggested that residents of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, had been calmly discussing last week’s artillery duel with South Korea, foreigners living in the city were

worrying about an escalation in tensions with the South and the nation’s leader was celebrated for his legendary contributions to “the brilliant tradition of Korean dancing art.”

Information about the reclusive North Korean state is notoriously difficult to come by, but a proliferation of cell phones and computer links in recent years have pried the lid off to some extent. In the past several days, a foreigner was able to get out a detailed message describing conditions in Pyongyang based on personal observations and the reports of foreign aid workers in the city.

Aid workers said their conversations with North Korean colleagues and clients suggested

that the artillery battle was being seen as “business as usual, another incident of many that have been happening over many years,” said the foreigner, who requested anonymity for fear of angering the North Korean government.

“Of course, people don’t know about the international response to the shelling, but it sounds like it feels like it’s ‘more of the same’ for these Koreans.”

Pyongyang, of course, has by far the best living standards in the otherwise impoverished North, which is facing renewed famine, according to numerous reports, and a recent visitor there said he had seen many people with cell phones.

Oregon prepares for loss of unemployment benefits But checks will continue even if payments aren’t extended

By Tim Doran

IN CONGRESS

The Bulletin

Unemployment benefits will not immediately stop for Oregonians if Congress does not extend the payments, but for some out of work, the number of checks they receive will be cut, possibly by half.

Congressional debate about

unemployment benefits has become entangled in discussions about the federal debt and expiring tax cuts. A bill introduced in the Senate on

Monday and backed by Oregon Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden would extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits for another year.

In a statement issued Wednesday, U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis urged Congress to extend the benefits.

See Benefits / B5

Unemployment benefit programs • Standard unemployment – 26 weeks • Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, tiers 1-4 – 53 weeks (Deadline for new applications for Tier 1 ended Tuesday.)

• Extended Benefits – up to 20 weeks

What is 4G? Carriers muddy waters with marketing

By Wailin Wong • Chicago Tribune CHICAGO — The marketing world is full of vague adjectives like “new,” “better” or “healthy” that don’t necessarily mean much. The wireless industry has its own buzzword: 4G.

Regulators push for foreclosure freeze

Carriers have taken the technical-sounding term for fourth generation and turned it into a vehicle for competing advertising claims that could confuse consumers.

Starting with Clearwire Corp. and Sprint Nextel Corp., wireless carriers have used 4G to describe a major leap in speed, capacity and power over other networks. But operators don’t agree on what constitutes that technological milestone. As a result, 4G has become a marketing term almost unrelated to its technical definition, which is determined by industry standards bodies.

Earlier this month, T-Mobile USA Inc. said it had expanded its 4G service to six markets, adding them to a roster of “America’s largest 4G network.” The carrier’s announcement prompted grumbling from some of its competitors, which said T-Mobile was trying to pass off an improved 3G network as a new 4G network. Critics noted that the carrier itself had refrained from using “4G” to describe its technology, called HSPA+, when it was introduced.

T-Mobile is unapologetic.

“For customers, it’s setting an expectation of a significant change in their experience,” said Bentley Alexander, T-Mobile’s regional vice president of engineering and operations. “It’s a step above and beyond the experience folks are having today. … It’s appropriate to call it a 4G network, and we’re proud to call it that.”

The raised eyebrows over T-Mobile’s 4G announcement underscore the ultracompetitive nature of the wireless industry, which is hungry for revenue from mobile data services — Web surfing, video streaming and photo sharing — that will be further enabled by the newest network technology.

WASHINGTON — Federal banking regulators said Wednesday they are pushing lenders to suspend foreclosure proceedings while distressed borrowers seek new mortgages.

Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh said in testimony prepared for a congressional hearing that his agency is directing national bank servicers to suspend foreclosures for borrowers actively seeking to qualify for loan modifications.

The Senate Banking Committee held its second hearing on foreclosures as lawmakers question bank regulators about what actions they have taken to ensure that home seizures are fair and legal.

Executives from government-owned mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac insisted that it was better for both borrowers and lenders if foreclosure proceedings are not suspended.

November auto sales rise for most brands LOS ANGELES — Car shoppers crowded showrooms in November, lured by an end-of-the-month advertising blitz and what automakers said was an uptick in consumer confidence.

Ford, GM, Honda and Nissan posted sales gains of 21 percent or more compared with a year earlier, signs that the economy was once again stirring, according to automotive executives.

Cattlemen converge on Bend for annual convention

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Ranchers from across the state are gathering in Bend this weekend for the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association Annual Convention, where topics range from wolf depredation concerns to feeding, breeding and health tips, and surviving roller-coaster cattle prices.

The conference runs today through Saturday at the The Riverhouse Convention Center in Bend, marking at least the 10th consecutive year the OCA has chosen to hold its annual convention in the Bend-Redmond area, according to Kay Teisl, OCA executive director.

“It’s a good central location for our members who come from every corner of the state,” Teisl said.

Many of the ranchers and their families come from rural areas where shopping is limited, so “having an opportunity to shop at the malls and downtown stores in Bend is a treat.”

While family members enjoy Bend’s attractions, Teisl said ranchers attending the convention will be discussing serious issues facing the cattle industry.

“We have a lot of dynamic speakers this year,” Teisl said.

“We are honored to have Temple Grandin as the keynote speaker on (Saturday). She is a nationally renowned speaker on autism and animal welfare and is considered one of the world’s leading academic theoreticians in her field.” (For details on her talk, see today’s “Spotlight” item on Page E1.)

Composite 20-city index

PARIS — Throughout Europe’s financial crisis, Italy and Belgium have managed to avoid being among the countries that keep people awake at night.

However, even as concern mounts that Portugal and possibly Spain may seek financial aid after Greece and Ireland requested bailouts, investors have started asking whether those two economies may be the next weak links in Europe’s monetary union, the euro.

Italy and Belgium have a lot in common: Both are less dependent on foreign creditors than Greece or Ireland. Each is plagued by severe political dysfunction, though, which has raised questions about whether they can ever repay a mountain of debt, respectively the second- and thirdheaviest loads in the European monetary union after Greece.

Both countries have long histories of debt and political problems that contributed to economic downturns in the past, but no one seemed to pay attention during the

current crisis until this week, when investors, transfixed by debt fears in other countries, drove borrowing costs in Italy and Belgium to near record highs.

Investors eased some of that pressure Wednesday after the European Central Bank signaled that it could take new steps to prevent the market contagion by buying more bonds of crisis-stricken countries.

Stocks in Europe rose about 2 percent and yields on government bonds fell after rising sharply in the past couple of weeks amid worries about the growing risk of repayment, although yields are still near their recent highs.

WASHINGTON — As financial markets shuddered and then nearly imploded in 2008, the Federal Reserve opened its vault to the world on a scope much wider and deeper than previously disclosed.

Citigroup, struggling to stay afloat, sought help from the Fed at least 174 times during one remarkable 13-month period. Barclays, the British bank, at one point owed nearly $48 billion to the Fed. Even better-off banks like Goldman Sachs took advantage of Fed loans offered at rockbottom rates.

The Fed’s efforts to stave off a financial crisis reached far beyond Wall Street, touching manufacturers like General Electric, the Detroit automakers and Harley-Davidson, central banks from Britain to Japan and insurers and pension funds in Sweden and South Korea.

Under orders from Congress, the Fed on Wednesday released details of more than 21,000 transactions under the array of emergency lending programs and other arrangements it conjured up in response to the crisis.

The disclosures, which the Fed had resisted, offer the most detailed portrait of a panicky period in which the Fed lent money to banks, brokers, businesses and investors to keep the financial system functioning.

FCC faces battle with GOP on Net neutrality proposal Plan would prohibit Internet providers from blocking, discriminating against Web traffic

By Joelle Tessler The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A proposal to prohibit broadband providers from blocking or discriminating against Internet traffic flowing over their networks has an uncertain future with just lukewarm support from large phone and cable service providers and fierce opposition from Republicans.

The fate of the “network neutrality” plan crafted by the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Julius Genachowski, will ultimately lie with his two fellow Democrats on the

Fed Continued from B1 The documents show that some of the biggest names in U.S. business were either coming to the Fed in need of a bailout, or trying to make money at a time when the Fed was trying to entice investors back into the markets. Among the latter were prominent investors and entrepreneurs like John Paulson and Michael Dell, and the pension funds of the Philadelphia Teamsters and Omaha’s teachers, who were betting they could profit if the rescue worked.

At its peak at the end of 2008, the Fed had about $1.5 trillion in outstanding credit on its books.

The central bank, in essence, pumped liquidity, the lifeblood of credit markets, into the circulatory system of an economy that was experiencing a potentially fatal heart attack.

Different conclusions “I think our actions prevented an even more disastrous outcome,” said Donald Kohn, who was the Fed’s vice chairman during the crisis.

Without the Fed’s help, he said, “liquidity would have dried up even more than it did, asset prices would have fallen even more than they did, and economic activity and employment would have fallen further and faster then they did.”

But Sen. Bernard Sanders, IVt., who wrote a provision in the law requiring the disclosures

by Dec. 1, reached a different conclusion.

“After years of stonewalling by the Fed, the American people are finally learning the incredible and jaw-dropping details

five-member commission. For now, it’s unclear how they will vote when the agency considers the proposal this month.

“Today is the beginning of an important discussion, and not the end,” one of those two commissioners, Michael Copps, said in a statement Wednesday. “At issue is who will control access to the online experiences of consumers — consumers themselves or Big Phone and Big Cable gatekeepers.”

The proposal has won grudging support from several big phone and cable companies, in-

of the Fed’s multitrillion-dollar bailout of Wall Street and corporate America,” he said. “Perhaps most surprising is the huge sum that went to bail out foreign private banks and corporations.”

Sanders said the Fed should have forced banks to restrict executive pay and reduce the financial burdens on mortgage borrowers as a condition of its aid.

The Fed, already reeling from attacks from both the right and the left over its latest effort to spur the economy, a plan to buy $600 billion in Treasury securities, braced itself for another moment in the spotlight.

In a statement accompanying the disclosure, the Fed said it had fully protected taxpayers. “The Federal Reserve followed sound risk-management practices in administering all of these programs, incurred no credit losses on programs that have been wound down, and expects to incur no credit losses on the few remaining programs,” it said.

Far-reaching aid The 21,000 transactions span the period from December 2007 to July 2010.

Even as investors began poring over the disclosures, details emerged from the trove of new data.

From December 2007 to October 2008, the Fed opened swap lines with foreign central banks, allowing them to temporarily trade their currencies for dollars to relieve pressures in their financial markets.

The European Central Bank drew the most heavily on these currency arrangements, the records show, but nine other central banks also made use of

Previously, the Fed had revealed only that four financial firms had tapped the special lending program and did not reveal their identities or the loan amounts.

The data appeared to confirm that Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley were under severe strain after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. All three tapped the program on more than 100 occasions.

The U.S. subsidiaries of several foreign banks also benefited substantially from the program. Those institutions included UBS of Switzerland; Mizuho Securities of Japan; and BNP Paribas of France.

The impaired credit markets quickly stretched well beyond Wall Street, engulfing moneymarket mutual funds and commercial paper — short-term borrowings that companies rely on for day-to-day operations like meeting payroll and paying vendors.

In short order, the Fed set up programs to prop up both markets and get credit flowing again. The new data show that some of the biggest names in the mutual fund industry sold assets to Fed-financed buyers during the credit crisis, including funds sponsored by Fidelity, BlackRock, Merrill, T. Rowe Price and Oppenheimer.

Europe Continued from B1 While few currently think these two countries have a high risk of defaulting, the spotlight could turn back to Belgium and glare harshest on Italy, the third-largest euro zone economy after Germany and France, if neither can muster the political cohesion needed to assure financial markets that they can reduce their debt.

Italy has done a better job than Greece in keeping its fiscal house in order during the debt crisis. The Italian finance minister, Giulio Tremonti, prudently cut government spending and overhauled the country’s expensive pensions system with the blessing of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government. The nation’s current-account balance is modest, and it enjoys high household and corporate savings.

But Italy has traditionally depended on state borrowing, even as its efforts through the years to improve growth have stumbled.

That raised new concerns after the global financial crisis hit industrial production, a pillar of the Italian economy, and employers failed to improve competitiveness by limiting wages or improving productivity. Having joined the euro zone, Italy, like Belgium, is no longer free to devalue its currency to revive growth.

Panic about Belgium’s finances would seem illogical, since the country has the wherewithal to repay debt. It enjoys a close trade relationship with Germany, helping to fuel exports, and employment is rising. Growth is expected to be 2.1 percent this year before and 1.7 percent in 2011, above the euro zone average.

Cattlemen Continued from B1 The convention kicks off at 1 p.m. today with the cattlemen’s college, where speakers will present the latest information on ways to manage breeding programs that can improve cattle health, reduce veterinary medical expenses and produce more of the healthy and flavorful grades of beef consumers want and packing houses pay premiums for, Teisl said.

At 8 a.m. Friday, OCA President Bill Hoyt will lay out the top issues facing Oregon’s cattle industry in his opening remarks. The convention will then shift into election of officers and committee meetings where ranchers are set to adopt legislative policies on issues such as public lands, wolf management, animal health, water and other issues critical to the survival of cattle ranching in Oregon, Teisl said.

Hoyt, who ranches in Douglas County, made educating metro-area residents about stewardship practices employed by ranchers a top priority during his first years as OCA president. Teisl said he is expected to be re-elected to a second term at the convention.

A key topic to be discussed at 11 a.m. Friday involves a conflict between the cattle industry and environmental commu-

nity over anticipated legislation to change the state definition of navigable waterways.

Teisl said environmental groups are pushing for changes to open up public access on cattle ranches to stream banks on small creeks navigable only part of the year with a canoe, rubber raft or inner tube.

That would be a big change from existing regulations that extended public access to commercially navigable waterways, according to the OCA. Teisl said ranchers are concerned the change could open the door to stream bank erosion from people partying on stream banks, as well as vandalism and safety and liability issues.

Friday’s agenda also includes cattle market reports as well as a presentation about upcoming or proposed regulatory changes from Dick Peterson, director of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

Saturday’s agenda includes a report and discussion about the migration of reintroduced Canadian wolves from northern Idaho into northeastern Oregon, where the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has documented that some of the wolves killed dozens of sheep and a few calves.

Final financial instructions from a Wall Street dropout Dying banker’s new book offers pragmatic advice for investing

By Lisa Girion and Sandra Poindexter Los Angeles Times

By Ron Lieber New York Times News Service

BURLINGAME, Calif. — There are no one-handed push-ups or headstands on the yoga mat for Gordon Murray anymore.

No more playing bridge, either — he jokingly accuses his brain surgeon of robbing him of the gray matter that contained all the bidding strategy.

But when Murray, a former bond salesman for Goldman Sachs who rose to the managing director level at both Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston, decided to cease all treatment five months ago for his glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, his first impulse was not to mourn what he couldn’t do anymore or to buy an island or to move to Paris.

Instead, he hunkered down in his tiny home office here and channeled whatever remaining energy he could muster into a slim paperback. It’s called “The Investment Answer,” and he wrote it with his friend and financial adviser Daniel Goldie to explain investing in a handful of simple steps.

Why a book? And why this subject? Nine years ago, after retiring from 25 years of pushing bonds on pension and mutual fund managers who were trying to beat the market averages over long periods of time, Murray had an epiphany about the futility of his former customers’ pursuits.

He eventually went to work as a consultant for Dimensional Fund Advisors, a mutual fund company that rails against active money management. So when his death sentence arrived, Murray knew he had to work quickly and resolved to get the word out to as many everyday investors as he could.

“This is one of the true benefits of having a brain tumor,” Murray said, laughing. “Everyone wants to hear what you have to say.”

He and Goldie have managed to beat the clock, finishing and printing the book themselves while Murray is still alive. It is plenty useful for anyone who isn’t already investing in a collection of index or similar funds and dutifully rebalancing every so often.

But the mere fact that Murray felt compelled to write it is itself a remarkable story of an almost willful ignorance of the futility of active money management — and how he finally stumbled upon a better way of investing. Murray now stands as one the highestranking Wall Street veterans to take back much of what he and his colleagues worked for during their careers.

Second chances Murray grew up in Baltimore, about the farthest thing from a crusader that you could imagine.

“I was the kid you didn’t want your daughter to date,” he said. “I stole baseball cards and cheated on Spanish tests and made fun of the fat kid in the corner with

Gordon Murray, left, a former managing director at Lehman and Credit Suisse First Boston, has a terminal brain cancer and wrote “The Investment Answer” with Dan Goldie. glasses.”

He got a lot of second chances thanks to an affluent background and basketball prowess. He eventually landed at Goldman Sachs, long before many people looked askance at anyone who worked there.

“Our word was our bond, and good ethics was good business,” he said of his Wall Street career.

“That got replaced by liar loans and ‘I hope I’m gone by the time this thing blows up.’”

After rising to managing director at two other banks, Murray retired in 2001.

At the time, his personal portfolio was the standard Wall Street big-shot barbell, with a pile of municipal bonds at one end to provide safe tax-free income and private equity and hedge fund investments at the other.

When some of those bonds came due, he sought out Goldie, a former professional tennis player and 1989 Wimbledon quarterfinalist, for advice on what to buy next. Right away, Goldie began teaching him about Dimensional’s funds.

A paradigm shift That Murray knew little up until that point about basic asset allocation among stocks and bonds and other investments or the failings of active portfolio management is shocking, until you consider the self-regard that his master-of-the-universe colleagues taught him.

“It’s American to think that if you’re smart or work hard, then you can beat the markets,” he said.

But it didn’t take long for Murray to become a true believer in this different way of investing.

“I learned more through Dan and Dimensional in a year than I did in 25 years on Wall Street,” he said.

Soon Dimensional hired him

as a consultant, helping financial advisers who use its funds explain the company’s anti-Wall Street investment philosophy to its clients.

“The most inspirational people who talk about alcoholism are people who have gone through AA,” said David Booth, Dimensional’s founder and chairman.

“It’s the people who have had the experience and now see the light who are our biggest advocates.”

Playing that role was enough for Murray until he received his diagnosis in 2008.

But not long after, in the wake of the financial collapse, he testified before a congressional committee, wondering aloud how it was possible that prosecutors had not yet won criminal convictions against anyone in charge at his old firms and their competitors.

In June of this year, a brain scan showed a new tumor, and Murray decided to stop all aggressive medical treatment.

For several years, he had thought about somehow codifying his newfound investment principles, and Goldie had a hunch that writing the book would be a life-affirming task for Murray.

“I had balance in my life, and there was no bucket list,” Murray said. “The first thing you do is think about your wife and kids, but Randi would have killed me having me around 24/7. I had to do something.”

The couple have two grown children.

Five decisions And so he has tried to use his condition as a way to get people to pay attention. The book asks readers to make just five decisions.

First, will you go it alone?

The two authors suggest hiring an adviser who earns fees only from you and not from mutual funds or insurance companies, which is how Goldie now runs his business.

Second, divide your money among stocks and bonds, big and small, and value and growth. The pair notes that a less volatile portfolio may earn more over time than one with higher volatility and identical average returns.

“If you don’t have big drops, the portfolio can compound at a greater rate,” Goldie said.

Then, further subdivide between foreign and domestic. Keep in mind that putting anything less than about half of your stock money in foreign securities is a bet in and of itself, given that U.S. stocks’ share of the overall global equities market keeps falling.

Fourth, decide whether you will be investing in active or passively managed mutual funds. No one can predict the future with any regularity, the pair note, so why would you think that active managers can beat their respective indexes over time?

Finally, rebalance, by selling your winners and buying more of the losers. Most people can’t bring themselves to do this, even though it improves returns over the long run.

A sense of purpose This is not new, nor is it rocket science. But Murray spent 25 years on Wall Street without having any idea how to invest like a grown-up. So it’s no surprise that most of America still doesn’t either.

Murray is home for good now, wearing fuzzy slippers to combat nerve damage in his feet and receiving the regular ministrations of hospice nurses.

He generally starts his mornings with his iPad, since he can no longer hold up a newspaper.

After a quick scan, he fires off an e-mail to Goldie, pointing to the latest articles about people taking advantage of unwitting investors.

The continuing parade of stories does not seem to depress him, though. Instead, it inspires him further, bringing life to his days.

“To have a purpose and a mission for me has been really special,” he said. “It probably has added days to my life.”

New protections add to gift cards’ appeal

By Eileen Ambrose The Baltimore Sun

More than three-quarters of Americans are expected to buy a gift card this holiday season. And why not? They are convenient, and you don’t have to go to the mall or worry about sizes.

But there is another incentive to buying a gift card this year: more consumer protections.

The federal Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act that reformed credit card practices now limits some of the worst attributes of gift cards: inactivity fees and expiration dates.

As of mid-August, gift cards must be valid for at least five years after purchase or since money was last added to the card.

An inactivity fee can be assessed only after one year of nonuse.

Beneficiaries cry foul when insurers deny claims after death

And even then, no more than one fee per month can be assessed.

In addition, some states have gift card laws that provide extra protection.

Still, all cards are not alike.

“Gift cards are better than they used to be, but there are some pitfalls that consumers need to be aware of,” said Greg Daugherty, executive editor of Consumer Reports.

So, whether you are giving or getting a gift card this season, here are some tips: Retail vs. general purpose: Retailer cards can be used only at a specific merchant.

General purpose cards, usually carrying the Visa, MasterCard or American Express brand, can be used anywhere.

Stick with the retailer card,

said Judd Lillestrand, founder of ScripSmart, a site that rates hundreds of gift cards.

Retailer cards typically don’t have inactivity fees or expiration dates. General purpose cards usually charge an upfront fee of $3.95 to $5.95, Lillestrand said.

And a recent Bankrate.com survey found that five out of eight general purpose cards assessed a monthly fee after 12 months of no activity.

One caveat: Avoid financially troubled retailers. “If you buy a gift card for a specific store and the store goes bankrupt, you don’t have any protection. You’re just another creditor,” Daugherty said.

ScripSmart offers alerts when retailers have filed for bankruptcy so consumers can quickly use their cards.

Spend ASAP: If you receive a card, spend it as quickly as possible, or at least within the first year, to avoid inactivity fees.

Sell unused cards: Maybe you received a gift card to a restaurant that’s nowhere near where you live. Rather than let it collect dust and expire, sell or trade it online.

Numerous sites, such as Plastic Jungle, GiftCardRescue.com and Cardpool will buy a card from you at a discount or let you trade it in for another. Plastic Jungle, for example, offers to pay $90 for a $100 Target gift card. You can also buy cards at a discount of up to 30 percent on the sites.

Make sure you deal with a reputable site that offers a moneyback guarantee, just in case the card you receive isn’t what was promised.

LOS ANGELES — American General Life Insurance Co. markets its policies as protection for “the hopes and dreams of American families” — a promise Ian Weissberger took to heart during his losing battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

But after the Cathedral City, Calif., mortgage broker died in 2005, American General canceled his life insurance policy and refused to pay his widow the $250,000 benefit.

The Weissbergers’ premiums were paid up. There was no foul play suspected. There was no question Sheila Weissberger was the widow and sole beneficiary. And Ian’s illness was diagnosed months after he took out the policy.

The problem, the insurer told Sheila Weissberger, was that Ian’s application for coverage was incomplete.

American General concluded that he had failed to disclose conditions, including bipolar disorder and pulmonary disease, that, according to his doctors, he did not have.

For the company, which collected $2.3 billion in premiums last year, the amount at issue was minute. But it was no small matter for Sheila, 62, who reached a confidential financial settlement with American General earlier this year.

“I lost my house. I lost everything,” she said in an interview.

“It was very, very devastating.”

More often than not, life insurers make good on policies, paying $38 billion in death benefits on individual policies last year. But what happened to Sheila Weissberger was not unusual. The claims of thousands of beneficiaries are denied or disputed every year — more than 5,000 last year alone — many for allegedly flawed applications, a Los Angeles Times review found.

Overall, the amount of money life insurers withheld from beneficiaries has more than doubled over the past decade, to $372 million last year, even as policy sales went down, according to a Times analysis of data compiled by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

‘Gotcha period’ Insurers can dispute claims for a number of legitimate reasons — unpaid premiums, suicide, foul play by the beneficiary.

But the No. 1 reason, accounting for about two-thirds of disputes last year, is “material misrepresentation.” That’s failing to disclose information that insurers deem important in assessing risk, and it allows insurers to rescind coverage altogether.

To stop abuses by insurers, most states long ago banned limitless rescissions, but in California and elsewhere, they are allowed during the two years immediately after a policy is signed.

Experts and consumer advocates say some insurers have turned that into a “gotcha period,” seizing on flaws after claims are made that they could have looked for before issuing coverage.

“Regulators need to come down hard on companies that are rushing applications through in order to gain premium income without taking time to screen the risks, then using rescission to control payouts and increase profits,” said Amy Bach, an adviser to National Association of Insurance Commissioners and executive director of United Policyholders, a nonprofit consumer group.

Pay or deny?

Industry representatives say the power to rescind policies and withhold benefits is essential and fair. Accurate information is “crucial to the agreement and to the actuarially sound pricing of the product,” said Steven Brostoff, a spokesman for the trade group the American Council of Life Insurers.

Yet some companies deny

Jean Lin holds a portrait of her husband, Bang Lin, who died of stomach cancer. The life insurance companies that insured Lin’s husband refused to pay the benefit when he died at age 37. benefits far more than others.

American General, which ranks 11th in national market share, withheld more money than any other life insurer — $36 million — in disputes of 79 individual death claims in 2009, including several rescissions.

The company, a Houstonbased subsidiary of American International Group Inc., declined to comment on the Weissberger case. In a statement, the insurer said its record should be considered in light of its size and that it follows “the standard that has been California law for more than 100 years.”

In contrast, Minnesota Life Insurance Co., another large insurer with $2 billion in annual sales, reported no disputes last year and no rescissions for three years on individual death claims.

“A life insurance policy is a promise to pay, and we at Minnesota Life are focused on keeping our promises,” said Craig Frisvold, a vice president at parent company Securian Financial Group.

Sheila Weissberger’s attorney, William Shernoff, said it is a matter of acting in good faith.

“You don’t wait until a guy dies to determine insurability,” he said. “That’s not fair.”

Full disclosure Bang Lin, a 37-year-old Irvine, Calif., business owner, died in 2006 of stomach cancer, leaving a wife and two schoolage children.

Had Lin died three weeks later, the two-year “contestability” period would have been over.

His family would have collected $1 million.

Instead, Metropolitan Life, the nation’s largest life insurance company with $8.6 billion in annual sales, rescinded the policy, alleging misrepresentation.

The issue was not the cancer; that had been diagnosed 15 months after he took out the policy. Rather, the company alleged Lin had failed to mention in his application that he had been successfully treated years before for hepatitis B, a condition unrelated to his death.

Jean Lin sued. She said the agent had filled out the application, not her husband, and that she never asked about hepatitis.

In any case, Jean Lin said the information was in her husband’s medical records and the firm could easily have ordered a hepatitis B test.

The agent said in a deposition that she had asked all the required questions. The application shows a check in the “No” box next to hepatitis B, according to court papers.

A federal judge in New York, where the company is based, ruled last year that it didn’t matter why the information was missing: The application submitted was false, so the company had a right to rescind. Lin’s lawyer, Eric Dinnocenzo, has filed an appeal.

The case could take years to resolve. In the meantime, Jean Lin has closed the family business, sold her home and moved her teenage son and daughter into a condominium.

“I thought we had very good protection,” she said. “I didn’t expect that they would refuse to pay.”

4G

“None of the networks today meet the ITU’s specifications for 4G. It’s like saying, ‘My bicycle is a car because it has wheels and has the same (technology) road map to get to the automobile.’ ”

Comparing 4G carriers • Coverage: Early adopters may find they have just one or two operators with 4G service in their city, and it will be several years before all the operators have nationwide coverage.

• Speed: Speeds will vary by location and other factors, but 4G speeds are supposed to be at least three times faster than 3G. Operators say the difference should feel like moving from dial-up to a broadband Internet connection.

• Latency: A 4G data connection should feel significantly more real-time.

This means audio and video should be synced while streaming a TV show or holding a live video conference. Latency is important for online game players.

• Devices: Sprint offers two 4G smart phones. T-Mobile sells 4G-ready devices optimized for the upgraded network, but many of its 3G phones are also compatible with its 4G technology. A greater variety of phones, as well as netbooks and tablet computers, is expected to hit the market as operators roll out their networks.

• Price: Carriers may experiment with different plans, with some offering unlimited packages while others introduce tiered pricing. Users of Sprint’s 4G smart phones pay a $10 monthly premium. T-Mobile does not charge extra for 4G. Verizon and AT&T have not announced their pricing plans.

Continued from B1 Every carrier wants to show it has the best pipelines for that data, and 4G is elegant marketing shorthand.

“To us, what it means is it’s the next generation of technology,” said Mike Sievert, Clearwire’s chief commercial officer. “It has to be more than just faster. … It also has to have higher capacity, the tons of megabytes of data that we know people want. And, finally, there has to be a breakthrough in the cost of the technology.”

Verizon Wireless plans to launch its 4G network in 38 markets Sunday, while AT&T Inc. says it will make its 4G debut in 2011. Both carriers use a technology called Long Term Evolution, or LTE. Clearwire and Sprint’s network technology, also used

by Comcast Corp., is known as WiMax. If a carrier is pitching “4G-like speeds, or ‘Yesterday I had a 3G network; today I’m going to brand it as a 4G network,’ you’ve got to look under the hood a little bit and do a true comparison,” said T.J. Fox, president of the Illinois and Wisconsin region at Verizon Wireless.

Benefits Continued from B1 “To those who are standing in the way of this extension, I say: The time to put politics aside is here,” Solis said in the statement.

“The welfare of millions is at stake.”

The Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which provided up to 53 weeks of unemployment insurance payments, stopped taking applications on Tuesday, said Craig Spivey, spokesman for the state employment department.

Qualified participants entered the program on Tier 1, which provided 20 weeks of unemployment benefits. When Tier 1 ran out, those qualified automatically enrolled in Tier 2, and subsequently could continue into tiers 3 and 4 for a maximum of 53 weeks.

If Congress extends the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, it would push forward the date for taking applica-

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, December 2, 2010 B5

— Chris Nicoll, distinguished research fellow at the Yankee Group

In the wireless industry, various agencies coordinate how the radio spectrum is used globally and set technology standards, which are important for interoperability between communications systems. In October, the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency, announced its designations for “true 4G technologies.” All of the

U.S. networks touted as 4G fall short of ITU criteria.

“None of the networks today meet the ITU’s specifications for 4G,” said Chris Nicoll, a distinguished research fellow at the Yankee Group. “It’s like saying, ‘My bicycle is a car because it has wheels and has the same (technology) road map to get to the automobile.’”

Still, with so much momentum behind making 4G a household name, the carriers aren’t giving up the term. And because there is no agency with legal authority over how 4G should be used in advertising, carriers are free to describe their technologies however they please. This dynamic mirrors how “all natural,” for example, has become a ubiquitous yet hazily defined term.

“It was clear this was a brandnew network. It had never been built before, and it was clearly an advanced network,” said Todd Rowley, vice president of 4G at Sprint. “Because a group of very smart people that are recognized said, ‘Hey, this is the bar,’ does that mean it’s the bar? I say no.”

According to Yankee Group, the message is not reaching consumers. A survey conducted this year showed 66 percent of participants were unfamiliar with the term 4G. Even 3G was confusing.

“Our research shows that it

tions to Jan. 3, 2012. But it would not increase the total number of weeks participants could receive unemployment benefits.

“More people could be helped,” Spivey said.

If Congress does not approve the extension or some other unemployment program, those currently receiving Emergency Unemployment Compensation will continue getting payments until they reach the maximum number of weeks allowed in their current tier, Spivey said.

Those who exhaust their Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits will be moved to the Extended Benefits program, which continues benefits for up to 20 additional weeks to qualified participants, Spivey said.

While the end of the emergency program will not bring an immediate wave of Oregonians losing their benefits, the state expects the number of jobless who exhaust their benefits — about 600 or so weekly now — to steadily increase and possibly peak around

the end of March or early April, he said.

With the various state and federally funded unemployment programs and extensions approved over the last couple years, jobless workers who qualified received benefits for up to 99 weeks.

But without the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, that number could be reduced by up to 53 weeks.

Presently, 70,000 people receiving unemployment benefits in Oregon are in their first 26 weeks.

“They’re going to miss EUC altogether” if Congress doesn’t extend the program, Spivey said.

And the job market has not been improving lately.

For the week ending Saturday, 11,656 people filed initial claims for unemployment in the state, according to the Oregon Employment Department, 243 more than were filed during the same week last year.

In October, 1,002 initial unemployment claims were filed in Deschutes County, according to

Employment Department statistics. Crook County had 149 firsttime claims, and Jefferson County had 107.

Much of the congressional opposition to the extension comes from those who don’t want to add to the national debt, according to Associated Press reports, but a deal could be worked out to extend jobless benefits in exchange for approving income-tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration.

A group of prominent economists entered the debate Tuesday, when they signed onto a letter to President Barack Obama and congressional leaders urging extension of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

The letter — from Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute, and signed by 33 economists from the Brookings Institution, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and other universities — expressed concern for the unemployed who spend their benefits on mortgages, rent, gas, groceries and utilities.

made no sense to label the technology 4G,” Nicoll said. “Over half of the consumers we surveyed either had never heard of 3G or didn’t know what 3G was. So if they don’t know what the baseline was, going to the next G doesn’t give you a moving point. They could have called it anything, and the consumer would have been just as confused.”

AT&T is moving its marketing focus away from using 4G, said Dave Fine, the carrier’s vice president and general manager in Illinois. He said that while “the number is getting across, the message might be lost in the number” because of competing claims over whether a network is 3G or 4G. “We’ve changed our message in our advertising and out in public because it’s about the fastest mobile broadband,” Fine said.

“Do you want the fastest mobile broadband network or do you want G’s? We want to simplify the message to the consumer.”

The loss of that spending also could weaken the economy and would not significantly add to the nation’s long-term deficit, the letter said.

Unemployment checks have had an impact in the state and region, which has seen some of the highest unemployment in Oregon.

Statewide, payments received through October totaled nearly $2.3 billion, and more than $127 million went to Deschutes County, where the average check equaled $306.42.

Crook County has received $16.2 million, or $300.57 average per check, and Jefferson County $10.2 million, or $280.33.

Google action aims to stop some abusive Web sellers

By David Segal New York Times News Service

Google announced Wednesday it had changed the way it ranks search results so that unscrupulous merchants would find it hard to appear prominently in searches.

The change was prompted by a New York Times article about Vitaly Borker, an online seller of eyeglasses. Borker claimed that he purposely shouted at and frightened some customers at DecorMy Eyes.com because the online complaints worked in his favor in Google search results.

In essence, he claimed, Google’s search engine is unable to tell the difference between positive posts and withering online critiques. Therefore, the more complaints posted about Borker’s site, the more likely customers would be to find his store ranked high on a Google search, which yielded him more revenue.

In a blog posting titled “Being bad to your customers is bad for your business,” Google said it had revised its algorithm so that it could detect Borker and “hundreds of other merchants that, in our opinion, provide extremely poor user experience.”

BEND CITY COUNCIL RACE

Ramsay defeats Arnold by 3 votes in final tally

Bend OKs water filtration system City councilors vote 5-2 for more expensive option as part of city’s $73 million overhaul

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Bend City Councilors opted Wednesday to pursue the more expensive of two water treatment options as engineers continue to design a proposed $73 million reconstruction and expansion of the Bridge Creek water system.

The council voted 5-2 to move ahead

SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Nearly one month after Election Day, Scott Ramsay has been declared the winner in a tight race for Bend City Council.

A two-day hand recount of ballots ended Wednesday afternoon with 10,503 votes for Ramsay, owner of Sun Mountain Fun Center and Casarama furniture store, to 10,500 votes for Chuck Arnold, executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association.

Ramsay had held a two-vote lead, 10,501 to 10,499, heading into the recount.

A recount is required under state law Scott Ramsay any time two candidates are within onefifth of 1 percent of each other.

Ramsay said he was pleased to have the election finally settled and is looking forward to taking office in January. He will be replacing Oran Teater, who endorsed Ramsay when he decided against running in this year’s election.

“Now that I know I’m going to be the one in the seat, it’s probably going to be four weeks of figuring out what I’m getting into,” Ramsay said.

“So I’m going to probably be meeting with some of the other councilors and (city manager) Eric King so I’m sure what I’m getting in to.”

Incorrect tallies Deschutes County Clerk Nancy Blankenship said the recount revealed a handful of votes that automated scanners had both incorrectly tallied and failed to count for both candidates. A discrepancy that emerged Tuesday where elections workers found one ballot missing from a southeast Bend precinct was resolved, she said, and the total number of ballots counted during the hand count matches the number counted previously by the county’s machines.

County loans an additional $100,000 to animal shelter

with a high-tech membrane filtration system that officials say will protect the city’s drinking water against both wildfire debris and microorganisms like Cryptosporidium that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says Bend must treat for by 2012 if the city wants to continue using its surface water supply.

Councilors nixed the cheaper option

— an ultraviolet light filtration system that makes Cryptosporidium inert — because they were told by city staff and consultants it would be practically useless should a wildfire occur in the Bridge Creek watershed, and that they would likely have to install a membrane system anyway in that scenario.

The city is upgrading its water system to meet new federal mandates and replace the aging pipeline that brings water from Bridge Creek.

What was supposed to be a vote on filtration options Wednesday seemed more like a referendum on the merits of the

overall project.

Even though the council voted at its last meeting in November to move ahead with the surface water project, Councilors Jim Clinton and Oran Teater, the two votes against the filtration option Wednesday, both said the city should take pause before moving forward. They said the city should consider, among other things, some of the concerns of recent critics who have said the costs and benefit of the project have been exaggerated and the impacts to the environment have been underanalyzed.

Medical marijuana grower arrested Investigators arrest 2 on suspicion of trafficking marijuana, other charges after search of home

The Bulletin

Two Terrebonne residents were arrested on suspicion of marijuana trafficking and other charges Tuesday following a multimonth investigation by the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team.

Terry L. Johnston, 45, and Lori Jean Pruitt, 48, were arrested following a search of their Terrebonne-area home by CODE detectives.

Detectives began investigating Johnston’s suspected illegal marijuana trafficking in July. Johnston is registered with the state as an authorized medical marijuana grower, according to a CODE news release, but Johnston is accused of using false information and documents to obtain his authorization and of selling marijuana in violation of state law.

Johnston faces charges of distribution, possession and manufacture of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine and frequenting a place where drugs are kept, used or sold.

Additional charges for resisting arrest

The Deschutes County Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to loan another $100,000 to the Redmond Humane Society. The animal shelter continues to struggle to pay its bills, two years after the county loaned it nearly $1.4 million to pay off mortgages and other bills.

The county had provided a first $100,000 line of credit, but the Humane Society has used up that money, according to a county staff report.

Before the commission approved the additional $100,000 Wednesday, the Humane Society had paid back approximately $600,000 and still owed the county about $786,000, said county Accounting Manager Jeanine Faria.

State Sen. Chris Telfer told a group of Crook County residents Monday morning that the 2011 Legislature is facing a “catastrophe.”

“The state is in a huge financial problem,” she told the group of about 30 Crook County residents who showed up to listen to her speak about the budget.

The Legislature is facing a $3.5 billion shortfall. And Crook County residents, who have been consistently dealing with one of the highest Chris Telfer unemployment rates in the state, asked Telfer what they can expect from the state in the upcoming session.

“It will be painful,” said Telfer, a Bend Republican. “The silver lining in this crisis is … I’m really hoping we see communities going back to helping each other. Solutions happen at the community level, not the state level.”

Scott Willar, a Crook County resident who is the area director for Lutheran Community services, told Telfer he’s looking forward to the prospect of communities finding resources and using creativity to solve problems when the state can’t. But he asked Telfer how she expects communities to reach into their pockets and fund the nonprofits with the current financial situation.

“There is no silver bullet on this,” Telfer said. “Instead of funding the bureaucracy, many of the state dollars could go directly to the community, bypassing the middleman that eats up those dollars. … What I’m seeing is it’s difficult to raise money, so the nonprofit arena is moving into collaborating to more efficiently impact the communities. … It’s going to be a change; it won’t happen overnight.”

meet Bend’s water needs through wells has raised some valid concerns. He said the council should delay moving forward until the city’s infrastructure committee met with the group to discuss that proposal, scheduled for later in the month. “I just think there’s enough question marks in the air, and it’s a very complex issue,� Teater said before casting his vote against the membrane treatment option.

But many of the other councilors said they felt they had heard enough to make an informed decision on the treatment option Wednesday, despite what some of them couched as last minutes pleas to do otherwise.

Councilor Mark Capell, who voiced his support for the project throughout his recent election campaign, said that while he didn’t like the idea of increasing water rates for Bend’s customers, he believed the city needed to move forward with upgrades.

He wasn’t the only councilor to voice a positive opinion about Bend’s surface water project.

Councilors Jeff Eager and Tom Greene also vocalized their opinions before voting to add the more expensive membrane filtration treatment method to the Bridge Creek upgrade.

The cost differential between a membrane system and UV filtration is about $5 million. For the average household water customer, this equates to a different of about a quarter a month in the first year of rate increases and about $3 in the fifth year, accord-

ing to consultant estimates.

Water rates have already increased for utility customers over the past three years, and with the council’s approval to pursue the membrane treatment option, that means the city’s most recent estimates project they will increase by about 42 percent over the next five years. Councilors may also consider pursuing a $13 million hydropower plant as part of the Bridge Creek upgrade in an effort to generate green energy from the water running downhill.

Should councilors decide to approve the hydropower plant — something they aren’t expected to make a decision on until early next year — then monthly rates could go up by about 45.5 percent over the next five years. Councilors aren’t expected to make a decision on the hydropower component of the project until early next year.

Singapore executed a Vietnamese-born Australian heroin trafficker (Nguyen Tuong Van) despite a warning by Australian Prime Minister John Howard that the hanging would

sour relations between the two countries.

ONE YEAR AGO A day after President Barack Obama announced plans to deploy 30,000 more troops in Afghanistan, leading congressional Democrats said they had serious misgivings but would not try to stop the deployments while Republicans said they supported the force increase even as they questioned Obama’s July 2011 deadline to start bringing troops home. Tiger Woods issued a statement saying he’d let his family down with “transgressions� that he regretted “with all of my heart,� and that he would deal with his personal life behind closed doors.

O JACKSON COUNTY

2 charged in teen’s kidnapping The Associated Press MEDFORD — Two Southern Oregon men have been charged with kidnapping and assault that included strapping a teenager into a wheelchair and beating him.

Nicholas R. Jackson, 33, of Medford, and Kekai K. Kuehu, 30, of Ashland, were being held at the Jackson County jail with bail set at $2 million each, the Mail Tribune reported.

Change planned at state hospital

Jackson County sheriff’s deputies said two 17-year-old boys were walking along a road in Eagle Point early the morning of Nov. 19 when a shotgun was fired. Both teens ran, but one was captured.

He was taken to a residence that is registered as a growing site for medical marijuana and his hands and feet were bound with packaging tape and rope. He eventually

was strapped into a wheelchair, covered with a blanket and left in a bathroom for hours, deputies said. A second man arrived and began questioning and beating the teen with a wooden stick.

Deputies did not say which man was accused of tying up or beating the teen. At some point he was taken out to the backyard and asked to dig a hole in the ground meant to represent a

grave, according to the sheriff’s department. The men then stole the boy’s shoes and made him walk back to his friend’s home about four or five miles down the road, deputies said.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Andrea Carlson declined to comment on what the 17-year-olds were doing near the property so early in the morning. “We are still investigating this case,” Carlson said.

WOODBURN BANK BOMBING TRIAL

The state’s contract with the firm outlines nine tasks for the consulting team to accomplish, along with tight deadlines, the Statesman Journal reported.

For example, it calls for the consultants to deliver a written strategy for bringing about cultural change by Jan. 14.

In an interview, Roberts told the Salem newspaper that outside expertise was needed to help turn things around.

The consultants will immediately start gathering information by conducting interviews with focus groups at the hospital.

Also planned is a fast-track survey of hospital staff to “get their baseline on the cultural issues and norms of the hospital,” said Nena Strickland, the hospital’s deputy superintendent.

Federal investigation The hospital’s push for culture change comes amid a four-year federal investigation into patient care and hospital conditions.

It also follows a critical report issued by Liberty Healthcare, a Pennsylvania-based consulting firm that said in a Sept. 30 report that the hospital has “invested great energy and vigor in striving to improve, but the results to date have been disappointing.”

In his message to hospital staff, Roberts stressed that the Kaufman Global team is “not here to add to the existing criticism of the hospital, but to help us identify what we’re doing well so we can apply it to the entire hospital.”

Strickland said the consultants will help come up with solutions for problems identified in the recent report issued by Liberty Healthcare.

“Not only are they going to be telling us these are areas you need to improve on, but this is how you can approach that,” she said. “And then they will be working with our leaders within the hospital to get it off the ground.”

Salem man is 57th pedestrian fatality

PORTLAND — The Multnomah County sheriff’s office is investigating whether an assault on a Portland jail inmate is an anti-Muslim hate crime.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Mary Lindstrand said witnesses to the assault Sunday on 23-yearold Mohamed Anwar Ahmend included racial slurs against Muslims.

Lindstrand said another inmate has been identified as a suspect, and deputies are investigating whether the assault was prompted by the reported plan to bomb Portland’s treelighting ceremony. Ahmend has been in jail since July on assault and weapons charges.

SALEM — A Salem man who was killed near his home while looking for his dog is the 57th person to be killed this year on Oregon roadways.

Marion County sheriff’s deputies said it was dark and raining early Tuesday when 26year-old Joseph Bartone was struck. The driver also hit and killed Bartone’s dog.

The Oregon Department of Transportation said the 57 pedestrian fatalities compare to 30 at this time in 2009, and the total is approaching the state’s high of 59 set in 2001.

NEWPORT — An Oregon scientist is helping a RussianU.S. research team track an endangered western gray whale by satellite to learn more about migration routes and breeding grounds.

Bruce Mate is director of the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University, and was a pioneer in the use of satellites to track whales beginning in the late 1970s. Mate is helping the team track a western gray whale off the coast of Russia’s Sakhalin Island.

Researchers say there are only about 130 western gray whales left, and only about 30 to 35 of them are mature, reproductively active females.

Consultants have $2M contract to suggest improvement strategy SALEM — The Oregon State Hospital is relying on an Indiana consulting firm to help improve management of the 127-year-old institution, which is finally being replaced with new buildings in a multimillion-dollar construction project.

The team from Kaufman Global of Indianapolis has taken up quarters in the pharmacy section of the partially built new hospital on the psychiatric facility’s campus.

But Greg Roberts, the superintendent of the hospital, told staff Tuesday it will take more than “the bricks and mortar to bring change to the hospital.”

Kaufman Global has a $2 million contract to recommend improvements in communication, training and organizational culture of the hospital.

Ex-Nike exec pleads guilty to tax charges PORTLAND — A former Nike executive has pleaded guilty to filing a false federal tax return and failing to declare more than $20,000 in travelers checks when returning from South Korea.

Federal prosecutors said 52-year-old Ronald Hartfeil of Oregon City pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Portland.

Prosecutors said the couple claimed their adjusted gross income for 2007 was about $1.88 million, mostly from income Ronald Hartfeil earned from Nike. But they actually had received $100,000 from a Korean footwear manufacturer in addition to income stated on their return. Sentencing was set for March 8.

Patrick Kennedy, an expert witness for Bruce Turnidge, listens to a question from Cortland Geyer, deputy district attorney, during the trial of Turnidge and his son, Josh Turnidge, in Marion County Circuit Court on Wednesday in Salem.

Expert cites police errors in explosion The Associated Press SALEM — A defense expert called in the Woodburn bank bombing trial says mistakes by an Oregon State Police trooper led to the explosion that killed him and another officer.

The Statesman Journal reports the expert, Patrick Kennedy, a fire and explosives analyst with Kennedy and Associates, testified that William Hakim was banging on the bomb with a crowbar and a hammer because he wrongly believed it

was a hoax device.

Kennedy said Hakim based that judgment on a single damaged X-ray and disregarded danger signs, such as the presence of a wired battery.

Kennedy also dismissed the prosecution theory that the bomb could have been set off accidentally by a passing trucker’s CB radio. Kennedy was testifying on behalf of Bruce Turnidge, who is charged with his son, Josh, in the deaths of Hakim and Woodburn police Capt. Tom Tennant.

Experts: Obesity problem for malnourished in state

By Paris Achen (Medford) Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — Overweight and malnourished? The dichotomy may not seem to add up, but nutritional experts say obesity is epidemic among the most malnourished, indigent people in Southern Oregon and the nation at large.

“Undernourished is underweight, but you can be malnourished and obese,” says Cathy Miller, a Medford-based registered dietitian. “It means you don’t have the right nutrition (to be healthy), but you have a lot of body fat.”

Julie Kokinakes Anderson, Medford-based registered dietitian, says the phenomenon of obesity among the poor results from consumption of nutrientpoor foods packed with excessive calories, fat, sugar and sodium, such as simple-carbohydrate saltine crackers or ramen noodles.

‘Don’t feel full’ Without adequate protein, fiber and nutrients, these foods don’t provide the same nutrition or satisfaction as a meal rich in nutrients, fiber, protein and moisture, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, says Jenny Slawta, associate professor of health at Ashland’s Southern Oregon University. “You don’t feel full because there’s almost no fiber in (processed carbohydrates),” Slawta says.

Low-income residents tend to turn to processed carbohydrates because they’re inexpensive,

“If you give them fresh fruit and vegetables, a lot of them will say, ‘What do I do with that?’”

— Burnadine Bratton, food pantry director

which supplies 22 food pantries including the Seventh-Day Adventist pantry, has tried to combat that trend by starting a program last year designed to educate clients about how food choices and preparation affect their weight and overall well-being, says Philip Yates, ACCESS nutrition programs manager.

Diabetes factor have a long shelf life and generally need less preparation to eat, Anderson says.

“Some people don’t even have the pots and pans or means to cook anything,” she says. “If you are hungry and you have three cookies, sure, you are going to eat those, versus three apples, which don’t hold up and don’t last a long time,” she adds.

However, food availability, cost and homelessness are not the only causes of diets that perpetuate obesity.

“It’s a combination of high poverty and lack of education,” Anderson says.

A lack of awareness about proper nutrition is pervasive among clients who use the food pantry at Medford’s SeventhDay Adventist Church on Greenwood Street, says Burnadine Bratton, food pantry director.

“We encourage people to take the nutritious stuff, but most people who come in prefer to take white bread,” Bratton says.

“If you give them fresh fruit and vegetables, a lot of them will say, ‘What do I do with that?’”

ACCESS Inc., Jackson County’s emergency food bank,

The effort was in part a response to staggering statistics from the Oregon Hunger Factor Survey that suggest 27 percent of families who receive free food boxes in Oregon have diabetes, Yates says.

ACCESS recently received 3,000 pounds of winter squash.

“We mashed it and froze it in our commercial kitchen and passed it out with suggestions for recipes, like adding a couple cups to soup,” Yates says.

Food pantry directors such as Bratton hand out recipes for how to use produce such as turnips, which some clients may never have eaten or don’t know how to prepare.

Although ACCESS does what it can to obtain fresh produce, meat and whole grains for its clients, many items donated to food pantries are simple carbohydrates, such macaroni or ramen noodles, and that’s often the kind of food clients want because they’re accustomed to it. Beyond a lack of nutrient density, those foods provide less of a sense of satisfaction because of low amounts of fiber and protein, Miller says.

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

Grow up and compromise D

elaying the tough decisions is what got this country into such fiscal trouble. Members of Congress love to spend money, largely because their constituents demand the

services that money buys. But nobody’s nearly as enthusiastic about paying the bills, which is why the national debt has become so huge that interest on it could hit $1 trillion annually by 2020 unless something drastic happens.

The leaders of President Barack Obama’s deficit commission released their final report Wednesday, and it certainly contains some drastic proposals. Rather than voting on the document as planned, however, the full panel decided to delay the tough decision until Friday. Titled “The Moment of Truth,” the report apparently presented some truths that many Congress members on the panel simply can’t handle.

Some of the panel’s Republicans criticize the report for relying too heavily on tax hikes and failing to recommend the repeal of Obamacare.

Democrats, meanwhile, object to proposed cuts in Medicare and Social Security benefits. Nevertheless, two prominent senators — Judd Gregg, R-N.H., and Kent Conrad, D-N.D. — did pledge to support the plan Wednesday. Conrad said he doesn’t like everything in the plan (who does?), “but I like even less where our country is headed without it.”

He’s right, just as the panel’s cochairs are right to warn that “if the U.S. does not put its house in order, the reckoning will be sure and the devastation severe.” But if the panel’s discord is a sign of things to come, we’re all in for an unpleasant reckoning.

The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, as it’s called, has 18 members. Twelve are members of Congress (six from each party) and six are unelected. In order

to send a plan to Congress, which may do with it what it pleases, 14 commissioners must approve it. That probably isn’t going to happen.

What does it say about the prospect for significant fiscal reform if an advisory panel can’t even muster enough votes to send a nonbinding recommendation to Congress? So much urgency, so little courage.

The deficit panel’s report isn’t a collection of radical proposals teleported before an unsuspecting public from a public policy version of Pluto. Instead, it’s largely a collection of proposals that policymakers have been debating for years: a simplified tax code that eliminates many existing deductions, a small (and very gradual) increase in the retirement age, the elimination of hundreds of thousands of federal jobs, and so on. It recognizes that Congress will have to gore everybody’s ox, at least a little, to repair the damage caused by this nation’s profligacy.

Regardless of the outcome of Friday’s vote on the plan, the deficit commission has pushed two facts to the forefront of public debate. First, we’re all in trouble if Congress can’t put away the credit card and start paying off the balance. Second, we’re all going to have to chip in through a combination of reduced government services and, at some point, higher taxes. Surely, Congress — reportedly a collection of intelligent, civic-minded adults — can compromise on a plan to head off a catastrophe.

Failed plot calls for attitude adjustment If Portlanders applauded five years ago when their city pulled out of the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force, they should rethink their attitude in light of the weekend’s events in their city.

Their mayor was among the last to know that the FBI was working to prevent a bombing in downtown Portland on Friday night. In fact, Mayor Sam Adams didn’t know of the plot until after a 19-year-old American citizen born in Somalia was arrested.

He didn’t know, all agree, because the city had pulled out of the task force in a fit of liberal pique in 2005.

Portland’s mayor at the time, Tom Potter, led the city out of the task force because the FBI was unwilling to grant him and other city officials access to investigations not given others in their positions, according to The Oregonian newspaper. Adams was among coun-

cilors who voted to end the relationship. All expressed concern about the potential for civil rights violations.

Yet, apparently, the FBI did not begin dealing with Mohamed Osman Mohamud on a whim. Instead, according to The New York Times, the agency began intercepting his e-mails in part because a family member alerted it about the youth’s suspected growing militancy. The agents with whom he dealt also reportedly made several attempts to point out that innocent children, among others, would be hurt if he carried out what he is accused of planning.

As for Portland’s mayor, it must be embarrassing at best to find out the FBI has been working in your city for months without your knowledge, and all because you refuse to participate in a group whose job it is to protect your citizens from harm.

My Nickel’s Worth Not a felon

diately looked it up on the Internet and confirmed it was a deer mouse.

Deer mice are one of the known carriers of hantavirus. We had swept out our garage a few days prior to seeing this one and encountered some mouse droppings. This mouse may not have been a carrier nor been the one who left the droppings, but I wanted the public to know I can confirm we do have them here so please keep in mind the symptoms and take them seriously.

Believe me, we will.

Brad was a special young man whose time ended way too soon. All our hearts go out to Susie and family at his loss. Thank you, Susie, for caring so much about warning the public of the dangers of hantavirus, and in so doing, possibly keeping others safe.

Come on, Mike Dugan and the governor of Oregon, do the right thing and get this taken care of please!

I am just amazed that it took David Black this long to get out of prison. I have been very upset with Dugan and our governor. What if that was one of their sons? They should be ashamed. If David Black said he was going to dive off a cliff, and they followed him, and he lived and they died, tell me, would he still get it for manslaughter?

Now for the girl who was driving the Eclipse sports car. She should have never had a car like that for her age. It’s like handing her a loaded gun. I am so sorry for what happened to the girls, and for the parents’ loss, but I feel that David should not have to be a felon and have a manslaughter charge attached to him.

Focus on DMV

Beware hantavirus

The Bulletin’s Nov. 20 editorial about the Oregon Department of Transportation’s $20,000 seat belt survey was spot on. However, where is your outrage concerning ODOT’s effort to needlessly relocate the Bend DMV field office at a cost of well more than $1 million?

The present location of the Bend DMV field office in an ODOT-owned building is rent-free. How can ODOT Director Matthew Garrett possibly justify squandering tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to move the DMV to a leased facility that will cost more than $1 million for the initial 10-year lease, plus even more for the subsequent two five-year leases, particularly when the selected new DMV location doesn’t begin to meet the published site criteria established by the DMV? How about turning up the heat on the Oregon Transportation Commis-

I would like to thank The Bulletin for the recent article on the danger of hantavirus and the loss of Brad Buckley due to this rare virus. His mother and my longtime friend, Susie Moon, was deeply committed to informing the public of this rare virus because so many people had never heard of it before and, as the article indicated, there have been cases in Central Oregon.

I am writing this letter to the editor to relate an eerie experience I had just a couple of weeks ago, and to let everyone know this danger is real. I saw a dead mouse on the path to my garage — the first time ever, and I have lived in this house for 27 years. When my husband went to bury it he noticed it didn’t look like an ordinary gray mouse. It had a brown back and white belly. He imme-

sion, Garrett and the Bend City Council and city staff to stop this needless expenditure of taxpayer money in its tracks?

Louise Tyler Bend

No common sense My letter is in response to “Bend City Council may ban sitting on sidewalks” (Nov. 16). Please, enough with the touchy-feely, kumbaya, politically correct “stuff.” The plaza downtown outside of the breezeway is currently the stomping grounds for many who cannot find anything constructive to do with their time. They are sometimes loud, obstructive and use vile language with no regard to others around them and/or leave garbage on the ground in their wake. This gives Bend the feel of a dirty metropolitan city that is observed by locals and tourist.

The police and city are aware of the problem but cannot come up with a politically correct/legal way to handle the problem. I know that the police do as much as possible, but their hands are tied. They are as frustrated as we are.

How about loitering? Cite them — not that it would stop the problem.

But why not hold the parents of the minors responsible for their children’s actions? Hit them in their pocketbooks and have them appear in court when there are multiple violations.

I have witnessed parents dropping off their kids at the plaza. Why? Maybe they don’t want or can’t handle the responsibility of parenting. Our society has gotten to the point of the ridiculous.

Common sense has been thrown out the door, and I for one am sick of it!

Tax-code reform, bipartisan cooperation key to stability WASHINGTON — he two-day delay until Friday that Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson obtained before their debt-management commission decides on their toughmedicine recommendations may not be enough to produce the votes needed to send those proposals on to Congress.

But make no mistake. Something historic has happened in Washington.

This week, as Bowles said, thanks to the commission’s work and the outlines of a tax-extension agreement between President Barack Obama and the congressional Republicans, “the era of deficit denial in Washington is over.”

Also over are two years in which Obama and the Democratic Party pretended they could govern the nation on their own and Republicans thought they could score points simply by objecting.

Both sides have been sobered by the midterm election and have emerged chastened and prepared to talk.

T

The discussions will be difficult, and an agreement may be impossible to reach in the first forum, the 18-member commission that includes a dozen representatives and senators who have to defend their actions immediately to their colleagues and constituents.

But for the first time, the momentum has shifted to those who are advocating and outlining an eventual agreement.

And the first step forward came when Obama, House Speaker-to-be John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed on an agenda for this lame-duck session of Congress.

Contrary to pessimistic predictions, the way is now clear for Congress, while still under nominal Democratic control, to extend a workable system of taxes and unemployment benefits — and perhaps ratify the New START arms control agreement with Russia as well.

A corollary benefit of this week’s work is the growing realization that the route

DAVID BRODER to fixing the looming fiscal debt and deficit crisis in this country may lie in reform of the tax system, rather than endless battling over federal expenditures.

When Bowles on Tuesday emphasized repeatedly that what he likes to call “tax earmarks” — and the rest of us call tax expenditures — amount to a trillion-dollar-a-year trove of funds that could be tapped for the national interest, he was pointing to the way out of the No. 1 problem facing the country: how to finance our worldwide and domestic obligations while creating room for the accelerated private-sector and employment growth we desperately need.

The way is now open for Obama and his able new budget director, Jack Lew, to seize the initiative with a bold loophole-closing proposal that would also allow the new Republican majority in the House to offer the cuts in overall tax rates that they believe will awaken the slumbering economy.

By focusing on the trillion-dollar treasure that can be tapped even while we reduce tax rates for business and individuals, Bowles and Simpson have steered the debate in the most useful direction since the 1986 tax reform agreed upon by President Ronald Reagan and Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley.

The shift in focus may have come too late to produce consensus among the members of the debt commission, but it likely will influence debate from this point forward. By insisting that these special-interests provisions that now stud the tax code are every bit as objectionable as earmarks, Bowles has even

provided a political tool that can power the effort to close tax loopholes.

Meantime, Obama and the Republican congressional leaders have taken the first step on a path to political cooperation, one that can lead to multiple benefits. Washington could emerge from December with an agreed-upon plan for financing the government for the next two years, a workable budget for this year’s government activity and an agreement by the Senate on the significant arms treaty Obama has negotiated with Russia. That is the best possible prelude to next year.

When the Republicans used what I called the Reagan formula — trust but verify — on Obama’s profession of reasonableness, they found him eager to provide the proof. There is more trust today as a result.

Samuel Cohen, inventor of neutron bomb, dies at 89

By Thomas H. Maugh II Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Samuel T. Cohen, the father of the controversial tactical nuclear weapon known as the neutron bomb, which was designed to kill people and other living things but inflict minimal damage on buildings and other property, died Sunday at his home in Brentwood on the west side of Los Angeles. He was 89 and died two weeks after the removal of a cancerous tumor from his stomach, according to his son Paul.

A conventional nuclear weapon releases massive amounts of radiation and heat that incinerates humans and inanimate objects alike, leaving behind radioactive debris that contaminates the area for years or decades. A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon, in contrast, has only about onetenth the explosive power of a comparable fission weapon, and most of its output is in the form of neutrons — tiny neutral particles that can pass through walls, vehicles, tanks, armor and other inanimate objects

with little or no damage.

But those neutrons cause severe, lethal damage to the nuclei of living cells, killing combatants quickly. Because of its limited range, however, there is little danger to nearby civilians and little or no residual radiation to threaten the environment after the battle.

“It’s the most sane and moral weapon ever devised,” Cohen said in an interview with The New York Times shortly before his death. “It’s the only nuclear weapon in history that makes sense in waging war. When the war is over, the world is still intact.”

Critics, however, took a different view, charging that the limited damage associated with the neutron bomb would make nuclear warfare more acceptable and that, in turn, could lead to full-scale nuclear retaliation.

Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev called the neutron bomb the ultimate capitalist weapon, built “to kill a man in such a way that his suit will not be stained with blood, in order to appropriate the suit.”

Patricia Ann Martenson was born in 1939, to Andrew Martenson and Margaret C. Matthews in Seaview, Washington.

She grew up on the Long Beach Peninsula among the fishing boats, shipwrecks Patricia Ann and oyster Haavisto beds that are characteristic of the area. The oldest of six children, she was raised in a house built by her grandfather that is now listed in the Washington State Historical Society.

On March 16, 1954, she was inducted into the Order of Rainbow for Girls and became an honorary lifetime member upon her marriage.

She attended Evergreen Girls State which provided American citizenship training in all Departments of the American Legion Auxiliary in Ellensburg, Washington in 1955 where she participated in the girls' state choir.

During that time, Bill was stationed in Portsmouth, Virginia, and later stationed in San Diego, where he was discharged from the Navy where they then raised four children.

Pat was very involved in the PTA while her children were growing up. She worked in the Medical Records department at Sharp Hospital in San Diego and continued her career at St. Charles Medical Center in both Redmond and Bend starting in 1990, when she and Bill moved to Redmond. She retired in March, 2010.

She is survived by a brother and sister, two half brothers, four children, six grandchildren, one step-grandchild and five great-grandchildren.

Her favorite pastimes were camping and off-roading in the desert east of San Diego, family genealogy and grave hunting, beach combing and keeping up with the times of her birthplace by reading the Chinook Observer, a local newspaper of the peninsula.

She was also an avid reader and admirer of Pacific Coast Lighthouses. One of her favorite hobbies was buying, selling and collecting antique glassware which she sold in local antique shops.

Continuously smiling, everyone that met Pat was blessed by her happiness and light-hearted humor. She will be missed and remembered by all that she connected with.

Respecting her wishes, there will be no formal memorial service, however, the family is planning a celebration of life reception for next spring to honor both Pat and Bill.

Condolences to the family may be sent to 4770 NW Maple Ave. Redmond, OR 97756.

Alfred Masini, ‘Entertainment Tonight’ creator, dies at 80

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

Alfred Masini, a pioneer of first-run syndication who created such hit television shows as “Entertainment Tonight” and “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” has died. He was 80.

Masini died Monday in Honolulu from complications of melanoma, said Kristin Jackson, his publicist.

“He was one of the creative forces in the development of non-network programming and a key force in helping to move the industry away from a threenetwork environment,” Rich

Frank, a former president of Disney Studios, said in a statement that called Masini “an early mentor.”

When Masini had several popular syndicated TV shows on the air in 1984, he downplayed his creativity, telling The Washington Post: “I work on the premise that there are no new, unique ideas.”

From television’s golden age, Masini mined “The Original Amateur Hour” with Ted Mack to come up with “Star Search,” a talent contest that ran from 1983 to 1995.

“Your Hit Parade” had been

off the radio and television airwaves for most of two decades when he conceived “Solid Gold,” a 1980s weekly countdown of musical hits.

“All of my ideas come from studying what’s not on the air,” Masini said in 1986 in The New York Times. “My attitude has always been to look for what’s missing.”

To ensure that “Entertainment Tonight” would be timely, Masini pioneered the use of satellites to transmit the syndicated program, according to the 1986 New York Times article.

Ken R. Chilcote May 12, 1944 - Nov. 27, 2010 Ken was born in Portland, OR. He made his living as a supplier of native trees and plants to Oregon landscapers and nurseries. He was the second son of Cecile and Dan Chilcote, raised in the Wilkes/ Rockwood district of NE Portland, and graduated from Reynolds High School in 1962. He toured four years with the Navy.

Ken is survived by his sister, Marian of Eastern Oregon, brother, Ivan of Gresham; long-time companion, Myra, of Beaver Marsh, with whom he raised three children, Cammy of Tracy, CA, Margaret of Bend, and Cecil of Cottage Grove; as well as several grandchildren; his former wife, Virginia, and her adopted son, Kenny. He will be greatly missed by all.

Services will be held in Oregon City at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, on Saturday, December 4, at 11 a.m.

Steven Posner, 67, former corporate raider, dies New York Times News Service Steven Posner, who with his father, Victor, was caught up in a major corporate raiding case that led to the convictions of Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken, died Monday in a high-speed boat collision on Biscayne Bay, Fla. He was 67 and lived in Miami.

His wife confirmed the death.

Posner worked for many years with his father, who became known as a master of the hostile takeover, intentionally mismanaging companies into bankruptcy while enriching himself as they floundered. In 1987, the elder Posner — who died in 2002 — pleaded no contest to a charge of tax evasion and was ordered to give $3 million to the homeless and perform 5,000 hours of community service.

A year later, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Victor and Steven Posner of conspiring with Boesky and Milken in 1984 to gain control of the Fischbach Corp., an electrical contracting company in New York.

Continued from C1 Mike Daly, chairman of the Redmond Humane Society board and a former Deschutes County commissioner, said the Humane Society does not have savings available for when its cash flow falls short of what is needed to pay monthly bills.

“We don’t have a cushion in Redmond, so that’s exactly why we’re needing this line of credit,” Daly said.

According to the county staff report, the Humane Society “continues to experience cash shortages, most recently due to the confluence of a three-payperiod month and an overabundance of cats in the shelter.”

Daly said the number of cats got as high as 200 in September.

The Humane Society has since adopted a policy limiting the number of cats it will shelter, according to the staff report.

County commissioners were

Donald L. Harrison August 25, 1949 - Nov. 29, 2010 Donald L. Harrison of Redmond, died November 29, 2010. He was born August 25, 1949, in Lebanon, OR, to Dale and Jean Harrison. He is survived by his wife, Margie Harrison; parents, Dale Harrison and Jean Allen; a brother, Allen Harrison; sister, Jan Donald L. Keen; six Harrison children, thirteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two nephews, and one niece.

He loved the great outdoors and spending time with his family. He was a loving husband and father.

He will be laid to rest at Berlin Cemetery, Berlin, Oregon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice House of Bend, 2075 NE Wyatt Ct., Bend, OR 97701.

Immigrants have private eye on their side Chinese man traced $50,000 scam to an American and found new life busting cons

Private detective Eddie Zhao runs a booming business in the Los Angeles area to help new immigrants track down cheaters and liars proliferating in a community that fears calling the police.

By Ching-Ching Ni Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A laundromat operator hands over her life savings to a company supposedly building Rose Parade floats. A married welder falls for a beautiful woman, who beats him up because he won’t give her $60,000.

An old lady is left empty-handed after she pays $100,000 for a chest of gold nuggets she’s told have been unearthed on a construction site.

In the insular Chinese world of the San Gabriel Valley, swindlers find easy prey in the steady flow of new immigrants, wide-eyed and blind to the predators lurking in their midst.

The victims don’t speak English. They have no clue how to navigate the American legal system. So instead of calling the police for help, many turn to Eddie Zhao, private eye.

Zhao knows the cons. He also knows what it is to be conned. It was a con, after all, that led him to America.

Eddie Zhao started out life as Zhao Wei, a poor Chinese peasant. His parents were small-time farmers who grew corn, wheat, sweet potatoes and melons. Briefly, when he was about 18, he was a rural policeman, issuing traffic tickets and fines. But the department was corrupt, he said, and he had no connections to help him climb the ladder. Soon he was scraping together a living fixing and selling used cars.

‘American’ relative One day a friend told him about an American relative, a successful businessman in Los Angeles.

He showed Zhao the relative’s impressive card: “CEO, U.S.A. Atlantic International Corporation.”

Zhao had never met an American, let alone someone so important. So when the friend said the American businessman needed help, Zhao was eager to provide it. The relative just needed a little cash infusion for his business, Zhao’s friend said. He’d pay it

back promptly.

Zhao pulled together what he could from his savings. But it was far from enough. So he turned to a buddy who worked as an accountant at a government-owned candy and noodle factory. The accountant, who was just as eager to help the important American, said he could get his hands on public funds, as long as they were quickly paid back.

Together they scraped together about $50,000, a massive sum in their rural backwater but a small gesture of friendship, they thought, to help the distinguished American in need.

“I was only a 23-year-old kid from the countryside. I didn’t know anything about the outside world,” recalled Zhao, now 37. “I just knew friendship is the most important thing and you don’t second-guess your friends.”

The American took the money and disappeared.

The friend who had asked Zhao to help tried to kill himself.

The other friend, who had taken money from his government-run factory, nearly ended up in jail for embezzlement.

As for Zhao, he boarded a plane for the first time in his life and headed to Los Angeles. He was going to track down the missing money and bring it home. He had

to borrow funds for the ticket.

Zhao’s only clue was the con man’s business card. The title and company name were printed in Chinese, which Zhao could read; the address was in English, which he couldn’t.

At LAX, he showed a cabbie those English words and numbers — and rode off into the unknown.

To his surprise, America Atlantic International Corp. turned out to be a three-bedroom townhouse on Atlantic Boulevard in Mon-

terey Park. The “CEO” actually opened the door when Zhao rang the bell. He turned out to be an old Taiwanese-American gambler who worked as a parking lot attendant and sublet his spare rooms for extra cash.

“When the guy saw me, he was in shock. He couldn’t believe a country bumpkin like myself could come all the way from China and was really standing there in front of him,” Zhao said. “I told him, ‘I am not leaving without my money. We either live together or die together.’ “ For the next four months, they lived together — Zhao sleeping on a cot next to the old man’s bed.

The old man said he didn’t have the money but promised to get it.

But the two bickered constantly about how and how soon.

When the money finally was on its way, Zhao didn’t have a bank account for depositing it.

A new friend offered to help. He said Zhao could use his bank account and that the old man could wire the money right into it.

“He was my only friend in America,” said Zhao, holding up a photograph of himself and the clean-cut Chinese man, the two standing arm in arm. “I didn’t know any English. I didn’t even know how to open a bank account. He offered to help and I trusted him.”

Alas, it was the same old story. Friend and money promptly vanished.

George Chen, now 80, was a boarder in the townhouse when Zhao came for his money.

“He’s from Communist China.

He didn’t know the complexity of the Chinese-American community here,” Chen said. “This is a world where everybody cheats on everybody else. He’s just another victim.”

Besides losing the money for a second time, Zhao had also lost his home. He had no excuse to stay in the townhouse after the old gambler had paid his debt.

Jumper restaurant and a motel.

Zhao was hooked.

In 2002, he got his private detective license, managed to pay back his friends in China and hung up a shingle as one of the few licensed private detective agencies catering to Chinese-speaking clients in the San Gabriel Valley.

Zhao’s business flourished.

Scammers were everywhere.

Some were local. Some made their way across the Pacific from China. It wasn’t just that they knew that the pickings were easy.

They also were confident that few of those they cheated would contact the authorities.

Zhao now has a wife, a child and a nice house in Arcadia. His firm, American Professional Investigations, has offices in Hacienda Heights. These days, he rarely does his own stakeouts. He has nearly a dozen people working for him on contract. He’s also good at getting publicity — and occasionally a client complains that his prices are too high as a result.

One day a few years ago, Zhao ran into the old swindler whose scam first brought him to America. The man had the nerve to suggest that he was the source of Zhao’s success. “You wouldn’t be in America if I hadn’t conned you,” he said.

The memory leaves Zhao furious.

“I hate these con artists,” he said. “I am not grateful to these cheaters and liars. I am grateful to America. I had nothing. It was America that gave me a fair shot at making something of my life.”

First job in the U.S. So he slept in an aging Nissan, hidden in the darkness of empty parking lots, until he at last found work. He got a job at a warehouse unloading mattresses imported from China, his slender frame trembling under their weight.

At $6 an hour, he knew he might never make enough to repay his friends back in China.

Then, after a year, he got a job as a security guard in Montebello, moving up to $8 an hour.

It turned out to be his first lucky break.

Martin Delgadillo, a retired cop who trained the new guards, liked Zhao so much that he had him start recruiting from within the Chinese community and running training sessions in Chinese.

One day a Chinese woman called Delgadillo’s school asking for help tracking down her unfaithful husband. Delgadillo didn’t ordinarily take that sort of job, but he thought of Zhao and sent him out with surveillance equipment and a few tips about where to start. Within hours, Zhao had gathered evidence of the husband and his sweetheart at a Claim

Cards QB Anderson apologizes for rant TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson apologized for his Monday night post-game tirade.

“My mom and dad didn’t raise me to act like that in times of adversity,” he said.

The quarterback’s rant, now a nationwide Internet spectacle, came after a series of questions from a reporter about why Anderson was smiling with teammate Deuce Lutui on the sidelines while the Cardinals were trailing by 18 points late in the game.

The brief clip of the two grinning had been shown during the Monday night telecast.

Anderson, an Oregon State product, said after the game that it was no one’s business what he and Lutui were talking about. As the reporter persisted, Anderson lost his temper and shouted about how he had put his “freaking heart and soul” into the team and that there was nothing funny about it. He was lowkey and contrite as he opened his weekly news conference on Wednesday.

“Let’s try to do this in a manner that doesn’t end up all over the YouTube, if we can,” he said. “ ... Obviously I was very frustrated by what had happened during the game, and I let my emotions get away from me.”

The blowup came after the Cardinals lost their seventh straight, 27-6 in a flat, listless performance against the San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona quarterback Derek Anderson addresses the media on Wednesday.

Steelers’ Harrison says NFL targeting him for hard hitting PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison promises he’s not changing his aggressive style of play, even if the NFL and his own coach agree he must.

Harrison believes he is being unfairly targeted for hard hits that have drawn $125,000 in fines for four infractions since mid-October.

His own teammates and at least one Baltimore Ravens player, linebacker Terrell Suggs, argued Wednesday the league is focusing extra and possibly unwarranted attention on any Harrison hit.

“Your guy over there, No. 92 (Harrison), I think he is red-flagged,” Suggs said during a conference call with Pittsburgh reporters. “The referees are kind of looking for him. Even if he breathes on a quarterback wrong, he might get a flag. ... I think they are looking at him more closely than they are everybody else in the league.”

Harrison plans to appeal all fines, although two of his appeals were rejected Monday.

“It angers me, of course, that they’re taking absurd amounts of money from me for plays that I consider to be clean and legal hits,” Harrison said. “I’m sure if you asked 10 guys in the league, nine of them would say he’s not a dirty player. He’s a hard player. He’s just getting a bad (reputation) right now.”

Beavers will try to be ‘Giant Killers’

The plane lost its brakes on the small dirt runway in the Bahamas, swerved to the left and crashed into a cluster of mangrove bushes.

Nobody was killed or even seriously injured. But Todd Moen was done with traveling to remote locales as a videographer for a company that produces fishing and outdoors television shows.

“Twenty minutes later, a guy on a mo-ped shows up to help,” Moen recalls, laughing. “I’m so lucky I lived, and nobody got hurt. … It was unbelievable. After that, I was over traveling, because I was on the road all the time for two years.”

Moen moved from Montana to Bend in 2006, and after a couple of years producing website video for The Bulletin, he moved on to pursue his dream of creating an online magazine dedicated to fly-fishing photos and videos.

Moen, who now lives in Sisters, partnered with renowned fly fisherman and photographer Brian O’Keefe, of Powell Butte, to launch Catch Magazine in September 2008.

Two years later, the free online publication has become a worldwide sen-

“I try to do as much as possible in Oregon, because it’s such a great place for fly-fishing,” Moen says.

According to O’Keefe, Catch Magazine (www.catchmagazine.net) has been viewed by readers from 138 countries, and the November 2010 issue (No. 14) has received 200,000 hits.

New issues are released in alternating months on the first day of each January, March, May, July, September and November, and viewers can subscribe to Catch to receive e-mail updates.

Moen and O’Keefe travel every now and then to produce material for the magazine, but they also rely on contributors from around the world, including regular writers and photographers from Colorado, Spain and Germany.

The website features prominent “left” and “right” arrows on which viewers can click to move through the magazine to different “pages” of photos and videos.

“It kind of just took off,” says Moen, 34. “If you know what left arrow and right arrow means and you don’t speak English, you can figure it out.”

CORVALLIS — For this Saturday’s Civil War football game against No. 1 Oregon, the Oregon State Beavers will be wearing new uniforms that pay homage to OSU’s 1967 “Giant Killers,” who had a knack for knocking off h igh-ra n ked teams.

With a victory Saturday, Oregon (11-0, 8-0) would be expected to lock up a spot in the national championship game on Jan. 10.

The Beavers (5-6, 4-4) need a win just to become bowl eligible.

While the Ducks are obviously heavily favored, recent history has shown that Oregon State coach Mike Riley makes sure his team can rise to the occasion.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The LPGA Tour Championship is more than just a season finale this year.

There are razor-thin margins that could decide player of the year honors and the top spot in the world rankings, adding intrigue to the tournament that begins Thursday at Grand Cypress Golf Club.

For the first time in a decade, Lorena

Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam won’t win player of the year. That leaves five in the field with an opportunity to take home the LPGA’s top honor.

“We have got big pressure,” said Jiyai Shin, who begins play with the top spot.

Shin also has a little added pressure.

Shin and Na Yeon Choi have a chance to be the first Koreans to win player of the year.

Cristie Kerr has a chance to be the first American LPGA Tour player of the year since 1994.

Most likely it didn’t. Because the only punishment Cam Newton’s fa- Inside ther got for • NCAA clears peddling his Auburn QB son like a piece Cam Newton of meat was a to play, public scolding Page D5 and perhaps the loss of some choice seats at the SEC championship game.

Cam Newton made off even better. Thanks to the crackerjack sleuths at the NCAA, he’ll be behind center for Auburn in this weekend’s game with not a thing to worry about other than beating South Carolina to clinch a spot in the BCS title game.

The masterminds behind the BCS cartel have to like that. With Newton playing, there’s one less chance that an interloper like TCU can play its way into a title game they have so carefully reserved for schools with more pedigree.

S B Baseball • Players prefer talks on expanded playoffs: Baseball players want owners to hold off on approving a detailed plan for how to expand the playoffs until after the sides can negotiate over the addition of two more wild-card teams. Union head Michael Weiner consulted with his members this week during his executive board’s annual meeting, which is being held in Orlando, Fla. He said Wednesday: “It’s our sense that the most productive way to proceed on this topic would be for the parties to engage in discussions before settling on any specific proposals.”

• Rangers meet with Lee: The Yankees haven’t made an offer to Cliff Lee, and probably won’t until next week’s winter meetings, and neither has the team considered to be their stiffest competition in landing the lefthanded ace. But the Texas Rangers did continue their pitch to keep Lee, meeting with him at his Arkansas home Tuesday, the second time they’ve done so this offseason. Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler disclosed the meeting on Wednesday on a Dallas radio station and Rangers general manager Jon Daniels confirmed the meeting, which also included team president Nolan Ryan.

• Yankees, Jeter await next step: With Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner expressing confidence the sides will work out an agreement, Derek Jeter and his longtime team awaited each other’s next move after resuming contract negotiations. Jeter and agent Casey Close met Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., with managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, general manager Brian Cashman and team president Randy Levine. No new offers were exchanged, a person familiar with the session said Wednesday. Hank Steinbrenner said late Tuesday night: “I feel confident that Derek will remain with the Yankees, and my brother does, as well.”

• Stimulant exemptions in MLB virtually unchanged: Major League Baseball granted 105 exemptions for otherwisebanned stimulants in the last year because of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, virtually unchanged from the previous year’s total. MLB and the players’ union released the report Wednesday, covering a period that ended with the World Series. The figure has stayed about the same for four years. There were 108 therapeutic use exemptions in 2009.

Baseball management says the level of HDAD among young males is higher than for the general population. There were just two positive tests for steroids in the second full year of the sport’s toughened drug program, according to Dr. Bryan Smith, MLB’s independent drug-testing administrator. Cincinnati pitcher Edinson Volquez and Florida catcher Ronny Paulino were suspended for 50 games each.

• Hershiser, Valentine to call Sunday night games: Orel Hershiser, Bobby Valentine and Dan Shulman will form the new announcing team for ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.” The network said last month that Jon Miller and Joe Morgan would not return for a 22nd season. Hershiser, the 1988 NL Cy Young Award winner, joined the booth as a third announcer last season. Valentine, the former Mets and Rangers manager, became a studio analyst for ESPN last year. Shulman has served as a regular play-by-play voice for baseball games on ESPN since 2002.

• Giants sign Tejada: The World Series champion San Francisco Giants have found their new shortstop, agreeing to terms with free agent Miguel Tejada on a $6.5 million, one-year contract Tuesday.

Tejada, who played 156 games last season with Baltimore and San Diego, would take over a spot filled previously by World Series MVP Edgar Renteria and Juan Uribe. Tejada batted .269 with 15 home runs, 26 doubles and 71 RBIs between his two clubs in 2010.

Golf • Q-School starts: The caddie for Camilo Villegas is off to a good start in his bid to join his boss on the PGA Tour.

Brett Waldman holed a bunker shot for eagle on his first hole and finished with a 3-under 68 at Orange County National in Florida on Wednesday in the first of six rounds of PGA Tour qualifying. Kyle Stanley had a 7-under 65 on the Crooked Cat course for a two-shot lead over Scott Weatherly, Ben Martin and Stanford graduate Joseph Bramlett. The top 25 players earn PGA Tour cards for 2011. The next 50 are exempt on the Nationwide Tour.

Football • Broncos receiver deep in debt before suicide: Denver Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley had a gambling problem and was deep in debt when he committed suicide on Sept. 21, friends and family told authorities during a probe into his death. He committed suicide with a gun he had purchased months before from teammate Jabar Gaffney, who told investigators McKinley wanted the weapon for his own protection, according to an investigative report by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department that was obtained

by The Associated Press. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said there was nothing inappropriate about the sale of the gun. Detectives also determined that McKinley had spoken about suicide with at least three of his friends, including former Broncos backup quarterback Tom Brandstater.

Olympics • USOC won’t revive idea of cable network: Any attempt by the U.S. Olympic Committee to launch a cable network would be in the distant future and would only come with approval from the International Olympic Committee and cooperation with its American broadcasting partner. USOC chief executive Scott Blackmun told The Associated Press on Wednesday there are no immediate plans to revive the idea of the network, which was widely criticized and eventually quashed last year because of political pressure.

Tennis • Clijsters wins WTA player of the year award: U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters is the WTA’s player of the year.

Clijsters won five tournaments, including the season-ending WTA Championships and her second consecutive title at Flushing Meadows. She was player of the year in 2005. The 27-year-old Belgian also was honored Wednesday with the player service award, given to the woman who did the most to support her fellow players through the WTA players’ council or other initiatives. Other awards went to Belgium’s Justine Henin as comeback player of the year; Maria Sharapova as humanitarian of the year; Italy’s Flavia Pennetta and Argentina’s Gisela Dulko as doubles team of the year; and the Czech Republic’s 20-year-old Petra Kvitova, a Wimbledon semifinalist, as newcomer of the year.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Celtics hold off Blazers; Portland’s skid up to five The Associated Press BOSTON — Paul Pierce outscored Ray Allen 28-6 in the first 47 minutes, 49 seconds against Portland on Wednesday night.

When Pierce had the ball in the final minute, though, he knew who should take the last shot.

“It’s just trust. We talk about it all the time,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, “and it works sometimes.”

Allen missed his first five 3-point attempts before hitting one with 10.7 seconds left, and Boston held on to beat the Trail Blazers 99-95 despite blowing almost all of a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead.

“I was looking at the rim and the ball wouldn’t fall for me. I was ready to take each next shot,” Allen said. “There were a lot of last shots that would have been the last shot if they went down for us. It was an unfortunate predicament.”

It was Boston’s fifth straight victory, and the fifth straight loss for Portland.

Kevin Garnett had 17 points and eight rebounds despite missing most of the third quarter with a cut on his chin that needed five stitches. Rajon Rondo had 10 points and 10 assists as the Celtics built a 96-80 lead, then watched the Blazers score 15 in a row to make it a one-point game with 42 seconds left.

Pierce dribbled down the 24-second clock, then passed to Allen on the left side for the clinching 3.

“He’s one of the greatest shooters of all times,” Pierce said. “When you need him most, he’s going to be there.”

Wesley Matthews scored 23 points, including five-of-seven shooting from 3-point range, and Andre Miller had 20 for the Blazers. LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy had 18 points apiece, and former UMass star Marcus Camby had nine rebounds and four blocked shots with zero points.

Pierce went nine for 11 from the floor, making his first four 3-point attempts to help the Celtics shoot 57 percent as a team in the game. Shaquille O’Neal scored 14 points, and reserve Glen “Big Baby” Davis added 16 points and seven rebounds.

All of them made more than half their shots.

But not Allen, who was just three for 12 from the floor for nine points.

“He’s a great shooter, and you’ve got to know where he’s at,” Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. “Whether he’s missed five in a row, he’s going to take it. He’s a big-time shooter.”

The Blazers led by as many as 11 points in the first half and had a 68-62 lead in the third before Boston scored 17 of the last 21 points in the quarter. The Celtics made it a 16-point game before the shots stopped falling.

Rudy Fernandez hit a 3-pointer, Matthews added a layup, then Pierce airballed a 3-pointer before Roy scored on a fadeaway jumper to cut Boston’s lead to 96-95. After a timeout, Allen regained his touch, then Miller and Aldridge each missed 3-pointers in the closing seconds as Portland tried to get back in it.

The Blazers have struggled in the fourth quarter in the past week, scoring just 42 points total in the final period in their last three games. They had 20 in the game before that — but they gave up 38 as the Utah Jazz rallied from a ninepoint deficit to win 103-94.

This time, the fourth quarter was their strongest.

The Blazers led by 11 in the second before Boston scored 14 of the next 16 points, including a pair of 3-pointers by Pierce, and took the lead on a putback dunk by O’Neal that made it 44-43 with 90 seconds left in the half. But Matthews hit a 3 just 0.3 seconds before the buzzer to give the Blazers a 49-48 lead at the break.

Rondo pump-faked to the left and then passed right to Pierce for a 3-pointer that made it 77-72 with 32 seconds left in the third. The Celtics then made it a sevenpoint game when Garnett, who nearly turned the ball over on a bad dribble, gathered it up and hit a long 2-pointer with 0.7 left on the clock.

NOTES: Portland center Joel Przybilla missed his third straight game with the flu. ... After going just five for 18 from

This time, Bruins don’t relinquish 3-0 lead to Flyers The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The Boston Bruins found a way to protect a lead against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Tim Thomas stopped Scott Hartnell on a second-period penalty shot and finished with 41 saves for his NHL-leading fifth shutout of the season in the Boston Bruins’ 3-0 victory Wednesday night.

The 36-year-old Thomas, 12-2-1 with an NHL-best 1.46 goals-against average and .955 save percentage, helped Boston beat Philadelphia in their first meeting since May when the Flyers rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to edge the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

“We met a goalie that stops everything — backdoors, breakaways, some

NHL ROUNDUP great chances in front,” Hartnell said.

“He’s covering up the rebounds. It’s frustrating when you have so many chances and rebounds, 2-on-1s, and everything.

He’s there to make the save every time.”

Patrice Bergeron, rookie Tyler Seguin and Milan Lucic scored in Boston’s second win in its last six games.

Thomas improved to 9-0-0 on the road, the best road start since Chicago’s Glenn Hall also won his first nine games away from home in 1965-66.

The Bruins haven’t blown a lead yet this season, and have it result in a loss.

They also got some revenge.

“That’s what we wanted to do coming here tonight,” Seguin said. “Not only was it revenge for last year, but we also wanted a nice fresh start. That has been our main thing as of late. We wanted to come out with a better start, be hungrier and play a little more desperate hockey.

Tonight we did that.”

Bend senior signs to play baseball at Seattle U. SEATTLE — Grant Newton, a senior at Bend High, has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball at NCAA Division I Seattle University. Newton, who played catcher and third base for the Lava Bears last spring, hit .467 with 12 extra-base hits as a junior, receiving all-league and all-state honors. “Grant can really hit and may be the most developed hitter we have recruited from high school,” Seattle University coach Donny Harrel said about Newton in a press release.

DURHAM, N.C. — It didn’t take Duke’s Nolan Smith long during practice to notice something special about Kyrie Irving.

“He’ll be like, ‘Get out of the way, I’ve got it,’” Smith said. “You don’t really hear that too often, when a freshman will tell two seniors on the wings to get out of the way. We have no problem letting him do it.”

Easy to see why.

Irving scored a season-high 31 points and led No. 1 Duke past No. 6 Michigan State 84-79 on Wednesday night in the marquee matchup of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Smith added 17 points and Kyle Singler scored 15 for the Blue Devils (7-0), who shot 47 percent and turned 20 Michigan State turnovers into 28 points. Duke used a 12-2 spurt midway through the second half to take a double-figure lead, then held off the Spartans down the stretch by hitting nine of 12 free throws in the final 1:15 to seal its second victory over a top10 team in eight days.

“I think every win we have is a statement,” Irving said. “We want to show the world, every time we step on the court, we’re the best.”

Korie Lucious scored 20 points and Draymond Green added 10 of his 16 in the final minute for Michigan State (5-2). The Spartans shot 49 percent, were held to one field goal during a critical 7-minute stretch that coincided with Duke’s run but otherwise hung tight with the reigning national champions.

“We showed at times, we had some resilience tonight, we showed some fight in us,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. “We competed better, and (when) we got down, we came back against ... (what) I think is the best team in college basketball.”

The Spartans put a few of the Blue Devils’ impressive winning streaks to the test. But ultimately, Duke found a way to win its 17th straight game dating to last season’s national title run, claim its 23rd straight victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium and run its NCAA-best streak of nonconference wins at home to 81.

Mike Krzyzewski also claimed the 875th victory of his Hall of Fame career to move one win behind Adolph Rupp, who’s in third place on the alltime list.

Irving, whose previous scoring high was 17 points, had 18 in the first half. He became the fourth Duke freshman to score 30 points and the first since J.J. Redick in 2003. He was sharp from the outside and was effective getting to the rim while drawing contact, finishing 13 of 16 from the free throw line.

Though he did much of the heavy lifting against the Spartans, he insists the Blue Devils are not yet his team.

“It’s not one single person,” Irving said. “Duke basketball, it’s a collective effort. It’s a brotherhood here. It’s not my team.”

For much of the way, little came easy for the Blue Devils. Michigan State closed to 69-64 on Durrell Summers’ dunk with 3½ minutes left before Singler stuck back Irving’s miss just before the shot clock expired.

“We knew they weren’t going to go away,” Singler said. “It shows how good we are, I guess, right now, confidence-wise, and being able to execute towards the end of the game.”

Mason Plumlee finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Duke, which won the first meeting between the teams since the 2005 regional

LPGA Continued from D1 They’ve also noticed more Korean media than usual this week lining the fairways and greens for every practice stroke, and interview requests back home are at an all-time high.

“It will be my dream come true if I get the award,” Choi said.

Cristie Kerr could become the first American since Beth Daniel in 1994 to claim the award. Yani Tseng would be the first from Taiwan, and Ai Miyazato of Japan is also in contention.

Miyazato, however, can’t finish No. 1 in the world rankings, but Suzann Pettersen, who doesn’t have enough points to win player of the year, can move into the top spot with a victory.

All this is the result of the sport’s top two players in retirement.

Since Ochoa bid farewell to the tour in May, the top spot has shuffled nine times among three players — Shin, Kerr and Miyazato. None of the players in contention could ever remember the three biggest awards — which also includes the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average — at stake so late in the season, much less the finale.

“It is exciting to have the chance, because in years past, it’s been pretty much over by the half-year mark,” Kerr said.

Duke’s Nolan Smith (2) drives to the basket against Michigan State’s Durrell Summers during the second half of Wednesday’s game in Durham, N.C. semifinals and hasn’t lost in the regular season to the Spartans since 1958.

It was a tight one throughout, and the Blue Devils’ only chance to get any separation came during Michigan State’s drought midway through the half. Summers pulled the Spartans to 49-47 with a 3 with 14½ minutes left, but the next few minutes belonged to Duke.

Irving started the run with a free throw, and Singler hit two 3s during the burst — capping it by pump-faking Green in the corner, taking one step left and swishing it to make it 6149 with 9:21 left.

LPGA to change gender requirement ORLANDO, Fla. — LPGA players have voted to allow transgender players to compete on tour in response to a lawsuit filed by a California woman who had her sex changed five years ago.

The players voted to remove the “female at birth” requirement from the tour’s constitution at a year-end meeting at the LPGA Tour Championship, commissioner Michael Whan said. He said steps will be taken in the coming weeks to make the change.

Lana Lawless, a former police officer who had the sex change operation, filed the federal lawsuit in San Francisco in October claiming the “female at birth” requirement violated California’s civil rights law. The 57-year-old Lawless wanted to prevent the LPGA from conducting tournaments in the state until it changed its policy and was seeking unspecified damages.

Lawless also sued three tour sponsors and the Long Drivers of America, which followed the LPGA policy. Lawless won the annual women’s long-drive golf championship in 2008 with a 254-yard drive, but was barred from competing this year after organizers adopted the LPGA’s gender rules.

“I think it is a major civil rights victory,” Christopher Dolan, an attorney for Lawless, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday. “We are pleased that the LPGA has voted to end this archaic and outdated policy.”

The tournament also marks the LPGA’s first in the Sunshine State since 2008.

Based in Daytona Beach, the LPGA had as many as three Florida events at one time before then, but was without one last year. That came as a surprise to some players given the popularity of golf and the nearly year-round warm weather in Florida.

And with dozens of players doubling as central Florida residents, it’s an added incentive to end the year at home.

“We feel we belong with a tournament here,” said Paula Creamer, who lives in the Isleworth community only a few miles away. “It’s just kind of crazy that we haven’t had one for a while.”

CORVALLIS — Jordan Swarbrick made two free throws with three seconds left to give Utah Valley a 70-68 victory over Oregon State on Wednesday night.

Isiah Williams scored 20 of his career-high 22 points in the second half and Swarbrick added a season-high 20 points for the Wolverines (3-3), who overcame a nine-point deficit early in the second half.

Swarbrick, a 6-foot-7 senior forward, acknowledged nerves when he went to the foul line with the game up for grabs.

“Two free shots, you’ve just got to stick them, and I did,” he said.

Utah Valley didn’t have a timeout to take after Oregon State’s Calvin Haynes tied the game on a layup with 11.7 seconds left. Holton Hunsaker brought the ball up the floor and passed to Swarbrick, who drove to the basket and was fouled

by Joe Burton.

An attempt by Oregon State’s Ahmad Starks from just inside half-court bounced off the rim at the buzzer.

“We just attacked,” Utah Valley coach Dick Hunsaker said of his team’s final possession. “We did a great job, got up the court, 40 minutes of pressure. It was a terrific win.”

Haynes scored 15 points, while Starks, Omari Johnson and Lathen Wallace all had 12 for Oregon State (3-3).

Utah Valley struggled throughout against the Beavers’ 1-3-1 trapping zone, finishing with 24 turnovers. But the Wolverines, who had a 48-32 rebounding edge, were patient enough to find open shots.

Utah Valley scored eight straight in the second half, tying the game 42-42 on Hunsaker’s 3-pointer with 13:33 left.

Utah Valley took its biggest lead to that point at 61-56 on two Hunsaker free throws with 6:52 left, capping a 7-0 run.

Oregon State came back within one before Hunsaker hit a 3-pointer and Williams followed with a basket to make it 68-62 with 2:35 remaining.

The Beavers scored four straight, with a Jared Cunningham basket cutting the gap to 68-66 with 1:23 left. Williams was called for an offensive foul on the next possession.

After an Oregon State turnover, Hunsaker missed two foul shots before Haynes tied the game.

The LPGA Tour Championship will keep the format it used last season, cutting to the lowest 70 scores and ties after 36 holes and an additional cut after 54 holes to the lowest 30 players and ties. That makes the margin for error even slimmer.

Especially at the top.

The format makes a big final-day push almost impossible, because to even make it to Sunday players will have to be in close contention. Of course, the five up for player of the year know plenty about winning.

They have combined to win 14 of the 25 events this year, including three of the four majors. Tseng won the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the Women’s British Open, and Kerr took home the LPGA Championship.

As exciting as those others victories were, all five admitted that player of the year honors would top everything.

“For me, player of the year is kind of it,” Kerr said. “It’s what you see happening every year, what you wish would happen to you. And I think it’s the yearlong culmination of you’re the best player, this is what it was, these are the points, this is a point toward the Hall of Fame.

“It’s something like winning a major championship and having that trophy in your house and seeing it going, ‘That’s something nobody can ever take away from you.’”

NCAA rules Auburn QB Newton eligible to play

By Pete Thamel New York Times News Service

The NCAA ruled Wednesday that star Auburn quarterback Cam Newton is eligible to play in the Southeastern Conference championship game despite his father using a third party to solicit money from Mississippi State “as part of a pay-for-play scenario.”

The ruling solidifies Auburn’s chances of reaching the Bowl Championship Series title game, which it would do by defeating South Carolina on Saturday in Atlanta. Auburn is ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings.

Newton, the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, had been ruled ineligible by Auburn on Tuesday for his father’s actions but was ruled eligible by the NCAA’s reinstatement staff, which determined that Newton and Auburn were unaware of his father’s actions.

While the NCAA is still investigating Newton’s recruitment (it could be months before the matter is resolved) the ruling raises a larger issue — the NCAA essentially declared that the solicitation of money by Newton’s father, Cecil Newton Sr., using a person with financial ties to an agent, can go unpunished.

The NCAA and Auburn acknowledged that Cecil Newton and a scouting service director, Kenny Rogers, “worked together to actively market the student-athlete as a part of a pay-for-play scenario in return for Newton’s commitment to attend college and play football.”

While the NCAA acknowledged that those actions were against its rules, it found that Cam Newton and Auburn did not know about the solicitation of money.

The allegations of a six-figure payment solicitations from Newton’s father came from three former Mississippi State football players, including Rogers, for Newton to attend Mississippi State.

“Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity, which led to his reinstatement,” said Kevin Lennon, the NCAA’s vice president for academic and membership affairs.

For those who understand the underworld of college athletics recruiting — the morass of agents, runners, middle men and mentors to players — the NCAA’s decision was surprising.

“I hate to see the kid get punished if he’s a good kid,” said Tom Izzo, Michigan State’s basketball coach. “But, man, is it going open a Pandora’s box? Now you can go shop someone and see what you can get for them and then make a decision.”

The announcement marks the NCAA’s first critical decision under Mark Emmert, the first-year president who had pledged stronger enforcement of its rules, a theme that has come up frequently during a college football season that has been shrouded by agent controversies at North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama.

With an opportunity to set an axisshifting precedent by suspending Newton, which was within its jurisdiction, the NCAA chose a cautious response.

“It certainly gives them a weaker position with which to pursue these kinds of issues,” said former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr. “But anytime you get into issues where there are agents and these third-party people get involved, it gets more complex and more messy. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.”

Carr added that the NCAA’s conundrum is part of a systemic problem that revolves around its clunky rule book.

“I think, in the big picture, however, I think that the NCAA has some rules that are damn near impossible to enforce,” Carr said. “If they have rules they can’t enforce,

Newton Continued from D1 And later this month Newton will be in New York City, where the guardians of the Heisman Trophy can give him his award with less fear that one day they will have to ask for it back.

Hard to accuse the NCAA of bungling this one. In the space of just a few days, they restored order to the top echelon of college football just when it seemed a festering mess might drag Newton down and the second-ranked Tigers along with him.

It was all nicely tied up and packaged with a big bow Wednesday for Auburn, a day after the university had oh-so-quietly declared Newton ineligible and then asked for his reinstatement. The NCAA obliged, saying that while it discovered a pay-forplay scheme it did “not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity.”

The timing was peculiar enough, coming just days before Auburn’s biggest game of the year. Even more peculiar is that while the NCAA cleared Cam Newton of wrongdoing, it did not declare the case closed.

That could prove awfully embarrassing should further evidence emerge down the road about Cecil Newton’s alleged scheme last year to get up to $180,000 for his son to play at Mississippi State. Cam Newton signed with Auburn a month after visiting Mississippi State, and it would be hard to find a fan in Starkville who doesn’t believe Auburn simply upped the offer for the star quarterback.

But until a video of a booster handing Cecil Newton a suitcase filled with $100 bills surfaces, Auburn gets the benefit of the doubt, even if officials at the univer-

USC’s AD surprised

by NCAA’s decision LOS ANGLES — The NCAA’s decision Wednesday to reinstate Auburn quarterback Cam Newton without penalty despite the prohibited actions of his father surprised USC Athletic Director Pat Haden.

Haden oversees a program that was hit with some of the harshest NCAA sanctions in college sports history, in part because Reggie Bush’s parents were found to have accepted prohibited extra benefits from agents and would-be sports marketers.

Bush’s stepfather also helped set up a fledgling sports-marketing venture.

“In the Reggie Bush case, when the parent (did) something inappropriate the kid and the school suffered,” Haden said.

Haden, who succeeded Mike Garrett in August, said the Newton ruling is at odds with how USC is attempting to educate athletes and their parents regarding NCAA rules.

“I was always told the parent is the child,” Haden said. “That’s what we’ve been telling our kids. If the parent does something inappropriate the child suffers the consequences.”

The NCAA determined that Newton’s father, Cecil Newton, and an owner of a scouting service worked together to market the quarterback as part of a pay-for-play scheme. Auburn announced it would limit Cecil Newton’s access to the athletics program.

During its hearing before the NCAA Committee on Infractions in February, USC argued that it was unaware of alleged improprieties involving Bush’s parents because they lived far from Los Angeles, near San Diego.

Haden questioned the premise that student-athletes should be held liable for their parents’ actions.

“Our kids are 18, 19, 20 years old,” he said. “Are they really responsible for their parents’ behavior?”

— The Los Angeles Times they need to change the rules. I don’t think that’s positive for intercollegiate athletics.”

Sonny Vaccaro, the retired sneaker company executive who spent much of his career dealing with summer league coaches, runners and middle men, said: “This is free enterprise, that’s what they’re saying, if someone comes up with a buyer. It’s really a can of worms. I don’t understand why they’re getting into it.”

Vaccaro also said the NCAA ruling gives Auburn a chance to win the national title on the field. If the NCAA ends up taking away Auburn’s wins retroactively at the end of its investigation, as it did this summer with USC, the impact would not be nearly as great. Newton is widely expected to declare for the NFL draft, which would nullify any suspension.

“No one cares once he plays in the title game,” Vaccaro said. “No one cares then.

The investigation, for all intents and purposes, is over.”

The NCAA will likely explore the possibility of instituting a new rule that would close the loophole that it opened Wednesday. The SEC has said it would either support or sponsor legislation to help deter something like this in the future.

The only real reverberations from the case are that Auburn has limited the access of Newton’s father to the athletic program, and Mississippi State disassociated itself from Rogers. The university maintained in a letter to Rogers that he was never considered a “representative of the university’s athletic interests” to begin with.

sity have never directly addressed the payment issue.

Cam Newton has to be believed, too, even if it’s hard to fathom he never knew his father was shopping him around. He’s certainly played like a quarterback with a clean conscience, leading Auburn to 12 straight wins this season even as the allegations swirled around him.

Still, you have to wonder why this was all wrapped up behind closed doors and kept quiet before being released Wednesday as an early Christmas gift to Auburn fans everywhere. It didn’t take long for SEC Commissioner Mike Slive to puff out his chest and declare the actions of Auburn and Mississippi State “make it clear this behavior will not be tolerated in the SEC.” Perhaps. But Reggie Bush giving up his Heisman for what happened while he was at USC should be warning enough to anyone that the cesspool of agents, would-be agents, hangers-on and slimy coaches who permeate big time college football will always be on the prowl for the stars who can make their careers or make them money.

For now, though, the Cam Newton story shifts to a different stage. With the allegations behind him, he becomes the feelgood story of the year, a player who transferred from Florida only to come out of junior college to lead his team to the brink of a national title.

He’ll almost surely win the Heisman Trophy now that voters won’t have to debate his innocence or guilt while casting their ballots.

Unlike Bush, chances are now increasingly good he won’t have to give it back.

Parity hurts Pac-10’s postseason party With lots of teams hovering around .500, conference is having problems filling its bowl allotment this season

By John Marshall The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Oregon and Stanford appear to be headed to BCS bowl games, which in any other year would be a huge boost to the respect-hungry Pac-10 Conference.

The falloff after the Ducks and the Cardinal dims that perception.

Thanks to a tightly packed bunch of similarly talented teams and a tough nonconference schedule, the Pac-10 is struggling to fill its bowl allotment and more than half the conference could end up with losing records.

This year of parity in the Pac-10 may have ruined the postseason party.

“The bowl picture is concerning for the Pac-10 because of everybody knocking each other off,” Cal coach Jeff Tedford said.

The Pac-10 has just four teams with winning records, and only Oregon, Stanford and Arizona are currently bowl eligible. USC has seven wins, but sanctions prohibit the Trojans from playing in a postseason bowl.

There is a chance the conference will have just four bowl teams, which would put it well behind other power conferences like the Southeastern (10 bowl teams), Atlantic Coast (nine), Big 12 and Big Ten (eight each). The Pac-10 is even behind in the count to smaller conferences like Conference USA and the Mid-American.

A down year in the Pac-10? Maybe in terms of postseason representation.

An argument also could be made that the conference was too good for its own good.

The Pac-10 is the only conference to play nine league games, leaving just three nonconference chances to pad the record for a sixth win.

And even with that nine-game gauntlet awaiting, the conference’s teams don’t hold back in nonconference, often scheduling powerhouses instead of patsies. The Pac-10 this season played the toughest nonconference schedule among the BCS conferences, with six games against teams in the top 20 of the BCS standings. Four of those games were on the road or at neutral sites.

Seven Pac-10 teams played at least six road games and USC had seven, though this weekend’s finale against rival

Beavers Continued from D1 Two seasons ago the Beavers upset top-ranked USC 27-21, a loss that ultimately cost the Trojans a shot at the national championship. In 2007, Oregon State derailed No. 2 California 3128 on Oct. 31 in Berkeley. The Golden Bears were on the verge of becoming No. 1 after the top-ranked team that week had lost.

But Riley said his Beavers have no illusions about what they are facing this season in the Ducks.

“I think everybody understands where Oregon is and what’s on the line for them,” he said. “For us it’s survival in the bowl picture and a tremendous challenge and a great opportunity.”

The Beavers’ season has been both challenging and uneven. They lost to highly ranked teams in TCU and Boise State early on, but they beat ranked Pac-10 opponents Arizona and USC. They have lost three of their last four games, including a 31-14 upset by lowly Washington State, and a 38-0 blanking by No. 4 Stanford last Saturday.

There is no question the Beavers were hurt when they lost wide receiver James Rodgers to a season-ending knee injury in Oregon State’s 29-27

UCLA is practically a home game.

The result has not looked good in the win-loss column, but it has certainly hardened the Pac-10; the Sagarin ratings rank the conference as the toughest in the nation.

“This is pretty staggering when you look at the Pac-10 teams,” Arizona coach Mike Stoops said of the conference’s rating. “That speaks more of the competition in the conference. It’s about more than quantity. It’s about the totality of your schedule.”

The Pac-10’s fight-it-out schedule could leave it with just three bowl teams, though.

Top-ranked Oregon needs to beat rival Oregon State in Saturday’s Civil War to play for its first national championship. Stanford appears to be a lock for another BCS bid, fourth in the standings and well enough ahead of No. 5 Wisconsin, even with its season over.

Arizona has been bowl eligible for nearly a month now.

The problem for the Wildcats is that they have lost three in a row headed into tonight’s game against rival Arizona State.

They will not get passed over for a bowl, because there are so few eligible teams, but the quality of their postseason appearance might depend on what happens against ASU. Washington seems to have the best chance of becoming the Pac-10’s fourth bowl team, thanks to a gutsy fourthdown call in its last-second win over Cal last week. The Huskies can play into a bowl for the first time since 2002 with a win at rival Washington State in the Apple Cup on Saturday.

Getting five bowl-eligible teams or the full tie-in allotment of six gets dicey after that.

Oregon State, despite playing Boise State and TCU close, needs to beat Oregon to become bowl eligible. The Beavers lost a chance at the Rose Bowl in last year’s Civil War and would like to return the favor by spoiling the Ducks’ national-title bid.

Arizona State needs to beat Arizona and get a waiver from the NCAA to get into the postseason because two of its wins were against FCS teams.

Everyone else is already done, including UCLA (even though the Bruins beat ranked teams Houston and Texas in consecutive weeks), leaving the Pac-10 in a precarious spot headed into bowl-selection Sunday.

“It’s really weird how teams match up, and I think that was evidenced through the year,” Tedford said. “You never knew what was going to happen week to week. The matchups are so different, there’s a lot of competition in the league, a lot of parity of the league, and as you go through the course of a season, things go up and down.”

And more highs and lows could still be on the way.

victory over Arizona on Oct. 9.

Rodgers, the older brother of star OSU running back Jacquizz Rodgers, was averaging 176.8 yards per game in total offense, and he had averages of 18.3 yards on punt returns and 28.7 yards on kickoff returns.

At least for Civil War week, the Beavers did not have time to dwell on what might have been this season. It will all come down to this game, with its national championship implications and Oregon State’s own postseason aspirations.

And winning this Civil War certainly means lifelong bragging rights.

“We have everything to gain,” senior OSU cornerback James Dockery said. “We’re the underdogs. The No. 1 team is coming into our house. We have to go out there and put our best foot forward. I can’t ask for a better bowl game than this one right here.”

The legend of the Giant Killers has stood the test of time.

The 1967 Oregon State team tied with a No. 2 team, beat a No. 2 team and upset a No. 1 team — all in the span of 21 days.

Led by former coach Dee Andros, who was known as the Great Pumpkin because of his girth and penchant for orange jackets, the Beavers beat second-ranked Purdue 22-14 in Lafayette, Ind., before playing to a 16-16 tie

at No. 2 UCLA two weeks later.

The team’s greatest upset came on Nov. 11, when Oregon State downed top-ranked USC 3-0 at Parker Stadium. The Beavers withstood 188 yards rushing by O.J. Simpson, who fumbled with three minutes left on his final carry of the game.

Oregon State ended that season ranked No. 7 with a 7-2-1 record, but it was not enough to get the Beavers to a bowl game. Southern California claimed the Pac-8 Conference title that year and went on to beat Indiana in the Rose Bowl.

On Saturday, the Beavers will be wearing special Nike Pro Combat uniforms that recall the 1967 team, with stark “solar orange” on black jerseys and off-white pants.

“It would really be a disservice if we just put those jerseys on and came out flat and didn’t give our best effort,” said Dockery. “Win or lose, I would imagine (the real Giant Killers) would want us to give our best effort, be classy, play hard, and represent them well.”

Last season, the Civil War was dubbed the “War of the Roses” because both teams had the opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl with a victory.

Oregon won 37-33 at Autzen Stadium to claim the Pac-10 title and the trip to Pasadena.

FISHING REPORT

Trout fishing is good on Metolius Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Angler reports indicate a high growth rate and excellent catch rates. The reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and was stocked again in October.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Fishing is good using both dry flies and midges. According to recent angler reports to ODFW fishing reports the trout seem to be larger this year than in recent years. Flows are currently around 95 cfs. Please exercise caution as winter temperatures continue to decline. Anglers are

reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures from Oct. 31, 2010 to May 28, 2011.

KINGSLEY RESERVOIR: Kingsley was stocked with lots of trout and should continue to offer good fishing. Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout including large trophy trout and steelhead.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer opportunities for good dry fly fishing. The river upstream of Allingham Bridge closed to fishing on Nov. 1.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: Young anglers are catching rainbow trout and an occasional largemouth bass.

SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to children 17 years old and younger with a bag limit of two fish.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Here’s a pattern that can produce in the summer as well as in the heavier flows of winter. The Bruiser Black and Blue has a rabbit hair wing to manifest a substantial silhouette, while the hackle and the mylar lend movement and flash.

In the colder water of December, the fish won’t move as far to take a fly as they do in October. Meet them halfway with a heavy-duty sink tip and a three-foot, 10-pound test tippet.

Tie this pattern with black thread on a No. 4-6 up-eye steelhead hook. Build the body with Diamond Braid and finish the wrap at the rear of the hook. Tie in the rabbit strip — Matuka style — and secure it with the Diamond Braid rib. As an overwing, use blue holographic mylar. Wrap an electric blue saddle hackle and finish with a black saddle hackle.

Robert Campbell guides a nice bull trout to the bank on the Metolius River in November

Some timely tactics for bagging big bull trout W

e parked at the bridge and worked our way down to the mouth of the creek. It was late September.

Kokanee were suspended in and around the gravel bars in shallow water.

Where the river split around an island, we split up. Ryan chose river right and hit the jackpot. We met up at the bottom of the island.

He had hooked two in the slower water at the outside of the bend.

After resting the hole for a few minutes, Ryan walked back up and made another cast. Moments later, he came around the corner, his rod arced, tight to a bull trout that peeled line off the reel.

One-hundred yards downstream, the fish would not give.

I waded out and slid my hand down the leader to the fly. There, a big bull, still strong in the heavy current. His head was long and broad, his flanks olive, stippled with red and yellow spots. The fish, close to 30 inches long, spun and used the leverage of its tail to throw the hook and splash water in my face.

Next time I’d bring a net.

With an abundant population of bull trout, the Metolius and Lake Billy Chinook are the last, best places to fish for bull trout.

The fish are both resident in the river and migratory from the reservoir to spawn in mid- to late August.

Oriented to ice-cold water,

GARY LEWIS bull trout stage near springs and off the mouths of major tributaries like Canyon Creek and Jack Creek. After the spawn, they need to replace the calories they expended over the last few weeks. That’s when they find the kokanee.

The kokanee spawn puts both species in the river at the same time. And the bull trout are the winners. Pre-occupied, the 12inch landlocked salmon are easy prey for sharp-toothed bull trout that can range up to 30 inches or more.

In November, I returned again with my friend, Robert Campbell.

This time, we’d use the same style of streamers but alter the tactics to imitate the kokanee in its final stages: dying, dead, decaying.

We stopped by the Camp Sherman Store to pick up breakfast and a handful of flies. Roger White handed me a pink, brown and white cone-head bunny leech.

“Bunny leeches look just like a decayed, busted-up kokanee and you can double up the tactics on the same cast. Make it drift like

a chunk of flesh and skin rolling downstream. At the end of the drift, strip it, twitch it and make it look like a whitefish. A bull trout is like a cat. Sometimes you put that little tuft of fur out in front of them and they don’t pay attention till you start twitching it.”

Downstream, we rolled through the gate at House on the Metolius.

A quick movement caught our eye, a coyote, a big male in winter pelage. He put some distance between us. He stopped to look back when I barked, a predator making a living on squirrels, mice and bunnies. Just like the sharptoothed bulls we hoped to tangle with in the river.

Like a cat or a coyote, the bull trout watches for weakness. Erratic behavior means the prey is distracted, lame, lazy, limp.

Bleeding and feeding are other indications that the prey is vulnerable. When a whitefish is in formation, close to the bottom, it is hard for a predator to nab it, but when it spots an emerging caddis and charges up for the grab, its defenses are down.

Just upstream from the mouth of Jack Creek, Robert connected with a bull trout that grabbed his six-inch bunny leech as soon as he started to strip it at the end of a drift. I had a net this time, but should have brought a bigger one.

The fish’s tail hung over the rim.

From above, the complex currents are hard to penetrate with

polarized glasses. But the fish are there. Rainbows and whitefish hug tight to the bottom and let the currents wash down the food.

Bull trout hang back to watch the action. Perhaps it is this threat from behind as well as the danger from winged predators above that makes the river more difficult to fish than other Central Oregon streams.

As the kokanee carcasses become harder to find, bull trout that stay in the river begin to focus on bugs. Streamers and flesh flies can provoke a grab, but a dead-drifted nymph can pay off as well.

Tie on a heavy stonefly like a No. 6 Kaufmann’s. To the bend of the hook, knot a section of tippet no more than 10 inches long and add a smaller fly like a No. 16 Flashback Pheasant Tail or Copper John. Cast upstream and drift it down. The big fly takes the little one right to the bottom.

A trout may move out of the way to let the big nymph go by, but the tiny tasty is easy to pick up with no waste of precious energy.

Better bring your big net.

Catching Continued from D1 O’Keefe explains that Catch is about entertainment — creating visuals that can captivate even non-anglers. The website does not include news, reviews, or how-to articles. In fact, words are few and far between in Catch Magazine.

“I wanted a more visual paper magazine that was driven by graphics and not just big articles,” says O’Keefe, 56, who has contributed to nearly every major outdoor magazine over the last 30 years. “So we decided to do something online, and drive it toward bold graphics and great photography.”

O’Keefe says the best compliment that he and Moen have received was from an obsessive fly angler who explained how his wife had been browsing through Catch Magazine and after a time told him: “Now I know why you fly-fish.”

“It’s grown by leaps and bounds,” O’Keefe says. “It’s free and online, and there’s no holding it back. It’s a lesson in geography.

There are fly fishermen all over the world. People e-mail us from Kuwait.”

Because Catch Magazine is free, Moen and O’Keefe generate revenue only from advertisers, whose photo-heavy ads do not clutter the visual experience.

O’Keefe says he and Moen are making a small profit.

“We’re still poor,” O’Keefe says.

“We’ve got some great advertisers, and we’re getting there. We’re about where we thought we’d be

Todd Moen films a fly-fishing video in Argentina. in a couple years.”

Moen, who is married and has a 2-year-old son and an 8-monthold daughter, says Facebook and “word-of-mouth” through the online fly-fishing community have helped the website grow in popularity. Catch has a Facebook page and a blog.

“You get somebody who loves it so much and they have a contact list of 200 friends, and it gets around that way,” Moen explains.

According to O’Keefe, Catch Magazine currently has about 700 subscribers in Bend — and many more around the world.

O’Keefe, who is married with no children, was finishing up a 25-year career as a fly-fishing tackle sales representative before helping to launch Catch in late 2008, and Moen was making his career transition post-plane crash.

“We were mutually segueing toward unemployment at a bad time,” O’Keefe says, laughing.

O’Keefe estimates that he has embarked on more than 100 international fly-fishing trips throughout his career as a photographer and sales rep. He makes time to fish while working on Catch, and

Moen grinds away behind the scenes.

During a recent two-week trip to British Columbia to produce steelhead video, Moen says he made only six casts with his fly rod.

“Photography and videography are so different,” Moen says. “I love to fish, too. Brian makes sure he gets his fishing in. If I put my camera down, I will miss the best shot of the trip.”

Stay on groomed winter trails as snow is settling in

By David Jasper The Bulletin

“As everybody is probably aware, winter is here, and it’s a wonderful thing starting up this early,” says Chris Sabo, trails specialist for Deschutes National Forest. However, he adds, lowsnow hazards — rocks and logs — still exist at most elevations.

That’s mainly due to a lack of a solid base, but with slightly warmer snow conditions of late, the snowpack should be settling down quite well. Until then, fresh snow is unconsolidated and on the deep side, which means getting around on anything other than groomed trails could prove challenging.

About 70 percent of the trail signs around Tumalo Flat and Moon and Tumalo mountains are in place, and all or most of the rest should be in place by this weekend.

Forest roads around sno-parks along Cascade Lakes Highway are officially closed to vehicle traffic, becoming winter trails for skiers, snowshoers and snowmobilers. “(Drivers) can and will be cited if they are up on those roads,” Sabo warns. “We do ask Christmas tree hunters, be aware of that and not drive on these roads. … When they get tracked out, rutted out like that, they do become a safety hazard.”

Permits are required for those using area sno-parks such as Swampy Lakes and Wanoga.

TRAIL UPDATE

EASY GOES IT Set your own pace on Redmond’s flat and paved Dry Canyon Trail

By Alandra Johnson The Bulletin

ypically I’m a big fan of hiking. I look for options requiring strenuous effort and a bold payoff at the end.

But now that I’m seven-and-ahalf months pregnant, I’ve changed my tune a bit.

Instead of hiking, I stroll (which sometimes feels a bit more like a waddle). I still want to go outside, but definitely don’t need the intensity.

On Monday, just before the latest round of snowstorms hit Central Oregon, my husband and I decided to check out a trail perfect for my newfound love of strolling: Dry Canyon Trail in Redmond.

Not only was this trail flat and paved, it was also entirely free of snow and ice.

While the path is clearly popular among Redmond residents, as Bendites, we had never made the trek to check out this gem of a trail. I found it well worth the short drive to get there.

T

We parked at the entrance to the trail off of Antler Avenue, near the Redmond Skatepark. From there, we headed straight north on the path until it ended, about 2.2 miles at a water treatment plant. We opted to stick to the paved pathway, but there is also a dirt trail that follows roughly the same route.

The trail cuts through a lovely canyon right in the middle of town. Basalt rock cliffs line either side of the wide canyon, which is filled with tall grasses and twisted juniper trees.

The area was full of birds during our walk. While neither of us are birdwatchers, we loved listening to the chirping and watching the birds hop from tree to rock to shrub. The whole area felt alive with activity.

The canyon, in general, offered plenty of lovely things to check out, from groves of juniper to interesting rock formations.

We also passed under the Maple Avenue bridge, which has very cool large arches.

Families that are moving should bring pets, too Dear Abby: I’m responding to the letter from “Petless in Maryland” (Oct. 13), who moved without her dog, cat and goldfish but wants to encourage her son’s love of animals. Your advice was spoton, but there is a deeper issue that was not addressed. By moving and leaving their pets behind, she has taught her son that animals are “disposable.” An animal is a commitment for life, not an object to be disposed of once one’s lifestyle changes. A pet is a member of the family, the same as a child or other family member.

“Petless” should have kept looking until she found an affordable place where they could keep their pets. The shelters are full of pets who have been abandoned by their families due to moves, divorces, etc.

“Petless” cannot afford the fees to keep a pet — but I’m willing to bet that she can afford a cell phone, cable TV, etc. She missed a chance to teach her son how to be a responsible pet owner and how to honor the commitment that was made to those pets. What a shame.

— Responsible Pet Owner, Reading, Pa. Dear Responsible Pet Owner: Your point is well-taken, and some readers did agree with you.

However, not knowing the woman’s circumstances, I am unwilling to judge her. Other readers did reach out to offer ways to encourage “Toby” to love animals and someday become a responsible pet owner. Read on: Dear Abby: There are a lot of options for pet lovers without resources for permanent adoption.

“Petless” could contact the local SPCA and other agencies that might be looking for volunteers to have “visits” with pets. There is also a pretty big market for “dog walkers.” There is even a market for pet sitters, who do it to make extra money for their families.

— Sandi in San Francisco Dear Abby: There are rescue groups that have to put some of

DEAR ABBY their adoptable dogs into boarding while they wait for a forever home. These dogs would love an hour or two of “breaking jail” for a walk or a trip to the dog park.

A reputable organization would know the personalities of their dogs and be able to steer the mom toward “kid-tested” dogs that would get along great with her son. It would not only be an excellent way to encourage the boy, but also a wonderful thing for the dogs.

— Ashley in San Marcos, Calif.

Dear Abby: How about “Petless” contacting a senior center to see which seniors might need assistance with walking their dogs or with cat care? An assisted-living facility could also use this type of help. It would provide “Toby” a chance to share the love of animals, and the elderly residents would welcome such a sweet helper.

— Pegeen in Rio Rancho, New Mexico Dear Abby: You frequently recommend readers seek therapy.

I have been in therapy for eight years and see very little progress. Do you have any statistics that prove how helpful therapy actually is?

— Skeptical in San Francisco Dear Skeptical: Although I don’t have statistics, I do have testimonials from individuals who have found therapy to be beneficial. I have printed some of them in this column. I do, however, have a suggestion for you: After eight years and “very little progress,” you may be with the wrong person, and you should seriously consider changing therapists.

‘Decoded’ goes after historical mysteries

By Rick Bentley McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Brad Meltzer’s life was changed by a 10th-grade history class.

“The teacher, Ellen Sherman, showed us a movie one day and it was about all of the conspiracy theories behind the death of John F. Kennedy.

She told us not to believe everything we read,” Meltzer said. “The film kicked the foundation that held up my brain so hard, it was really the moment that made me love history.”

Now, Meltzer’s looking to kick a few foundations himself as the host of the new History Channel series “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded,” which looks at big historical mysteries such as the first Presidential Codes, the hidden messages of the Statue of Liberty and the ciphers protecting the location of lost Confederate gold.

The series shows that when it comes to history, we may only know half of the story.

That may seem impossible with the explosion of information available through the Internet, but Meltzer says the Internet has made getting to the truth more difficult than before.

“You can do a search of the Internet and get all kinds of information. The problem is that you just don’t know what is real,” he said.

Meltzer’s waded through so much of misinformation for this show and past projects, that even when he found facts he would find more questions.

But, Meltzer loves the hunt.

His passion for the past has been a driving force in almost everything he’s done.

‘Glee’ star to be honored by Billboard

Franco, Hathaway to host Oscars

NEW YORK — Even though Lea Michele stars on a television show, her “Glee” role has had such an impact on music this year that Billboard is honoring her with a “triple threat” award.

Michele is due to receive the honor to- Lea Michele day at Billboard’s annual “Women in Music” luncheon in New York City honoring the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie.

“We worked so hard over here at ‘Glee,’ and we put together these mini-movies every week that is filled with dancing and singing,” said Michele in a phone interview Tuesday. “It feels like such a nice sort of wonderful recognition.”

But even though she’s being honored by a music publication, Michele has no plans to put out a record like her co-star Matthew Morrison, who started working on an album this year.

“I really am taking my time with making an album. … It will be somewhere in my future but right now we are so busy over here,” said Michele during a break in her “Glee” schedule.

The show airs on Fox.

LOS ANGELES — Looks as if Oscar is going for younger eyes in the new year: James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the 83rd Academy Awards, the show’s producers said this week.

“James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons — fresh, exciting and multi-talented.

We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and enterJames Franco tain the world on Feb. 27,” said producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer. “We are completely thrilled.”

The “Love & Other Drugs” Anne actress, 28, Hathaway was nominated for a 2009 Oscar and has appeared on the show five times. Golden Globe winner Franco, 32, recently lauded for “127 Hours,” hasn’t yet earned an Oscar nod but has been on the show twice.

Both have also have hosted “Saturday Night Live,” which might be good prep. With the exception of Hugh Jackman two shows back, the broadcast has stuck with primarily comedic types for quite a while, tapping the likes of Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and David Letterman in recent years — with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin co-hosting most recently.

Snoop Dogg pens party song for William LONDON — Snoop Dogg is not your usual royal wedding singer.

But the American rapper says he’s dedicating his new single, “Wet,” to Prince William’s bachelor party.

Snoop Dogg The rapper is touting the track on his website and Twitter feed. On Tuesday, he tweeted the official royal account, clarencehouse, saying he’d “Made tha anthem 4 Prince William’s bachelor party n all bachelor parties round tha wrld.”

The star also sent tweets to a slew of celebrities — including Oprah Winfrey and Jamie Oliver — urging them to check out the song, and expressed a desire to perform for the prince.

William is due to marry Kate Middleton at London’s Westminster Abbey on April 29.

Billy Joel on the mend after hip replacements NEW YORK — Billy Joel is recovering from double hip-replacement surgery.

Joel spokeswoman Claire Mercuri told People magazine Wednesday that the 61-year-old pop star had both hips replaced last week to correct a congenital condition.

She says Joel, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer responsible for such hits as “Piano Man.” Joel toured this year and was recently promoting the documentary film “The Last Play at Shea.”

There’s no word on when he plans to perform on stage again.

Trails Continued from E1 The sled hill at Wanoga Snoplay Area is seeing improved conditions, although there are some ripples that will require about another foot of snow to get adequate coverage.

Sabo is optimistic that it will be a better year at the sled hill and reminds users that building jumps is forbidden. Likewise, those who bring dogs with them must keep them on leash at all times.

Dog closure is in effect on the north side of Cascade Lakes Highway, from Virginia Meiss-

ner Sno-park to Todd Lake, encompassing Dutchman Flat Snopark, Tumalo Mountain and all adjacent trail systems.

There are 3 kilometers of groomed trails out of the Wanoga Snoplay site. Other sno-parks, including Meissner, are being groomed on a limited basis as well.

“Conditions are really good for this time of year,” says Sabo, who expects grooming and conditions to improve with more snowfall.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010: This year, you move in a new direction, surprising others, perhaps even yourself. You have an intensity that sometimes overwhelms others.

Stop and center yourself during the day. Don’t take people’s reactions personally. They simply don’t have the depth needed to understand you. Be aware of what you bring to the table in relationships. Use care if you are single, because you could draw an emotionally unavailable suitor. In 2011, Cupid will be running around your neighborhood. If you are attached, the two of you already know that Cupid has been in your neighborhood. Some of you might be looking to new additions to the family. SCORPIO reads you cold.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A fiery individual could energize you more than you realize.

An insight pops up out of left field.

One-on-one relating allows more give-and-take than anticipated.

Someone is more open than usual.

Take advantage of the timing.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others seem to come out of the woodwork. If you sense an element of manipulation, it probably exists. Don’t talk or share too much so that others can reveal their true intentions. Revitalize an idea and perhaps your impressions of another person. Tonight: Say “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH An easy pace works. You might see a situation far differently because of a partner’s attitude or impression. Focus on the job rather than doing a tango with this person. You’ll come out ahead as a result. Tonight: Do you need some R and R? Well then ...

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your playfulness emerges.

The problem lies in that others might not be in the same mood. Be aware of someone’s need to control and/or manipulate. Step away and don’t get involved in this person’s stuff. Tonight: “Playful” is the word.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Listen to your instincts with a family member or a real estate investment. Schedule time later in the day to handle this matter.

Your schedule might change more than once throughout the day. Tonight: Paint the town red.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Someone is nothing less than a hot tamale. Though you attempt to be gracious and thoughtful, you seem to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Don’t walk on eggshells. Know that it isn’t you. Be easygoing when dealing with others. Tonight: Hang out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be sensitive to a need to go overboard. Your drive helps you to remain disciplined, because you will need the vitality to complete a project. Your imagination helps you see the right path and present it in a most appropriate manner.

Tonight: Don’t go overboard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Claim your power,

though it might be hard not to have others dump some of their responsibilities on you. You wonder what happened to get you to this point. Establish firm boundaries.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Pulling back in an interpersonal matter wouldn’t hurt. You probably have a lot to do, and need some downtime.

Observe a tendency to lose yourself and not even know what time it is. Use your energy for you.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Zero in on what is going on. Understanding evolves after a meeting. Though everyone means well, it could be difficult to have that many people with so many ideas. You, too, have strong ideas.

Tonight: Center of the action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You are on top of your game, and others respond well to your suggestions. Present a request with as much flourish and appreciation as possible.

This path will draw others’ good will. Follow your instincts.

Tonight: In the limelight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH News heads in your direction that forces you to reassess a personal issue.

Your eyes become wide open, knowing that you have misjudged another person or situation. We can only absorb information we pick up — nothing more.

Tonight: Follow the music. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Outing Continued from E1 The cliffs are lined with houses, which served as a reminder that we were still in town. Instead of being a distraction, however, I enjoyed looking at some of the homes, imagining the views from their decks and how the residents traverse the cliffs to get down to the trail.

We passed several friendly pedestrians. The path had a great community feel about it, kind of the way I feel when walking up Pilot Butte or along the southern stretch of the Deschutes River Trail in Bend.

The walk to the water treatment plant took us about an hour. Once there, we checked out a kiosk with information about the area’s animal life, foliage and history. The lava rock is from a northern flank of the Newberry Volcano.

The weather felt pleasant on our way north, but that was because the wind was at our backs. On the way back, the wind whipped at our noses and ears (foolishly left uncovered).

By the time we got to the car, we were ready for the stroll to be over.

Dry Canyon Trail was the perfect option for me, flat and easy without being a bit boring.

It offered lovely views. Best of all, it is the perfect place to stroll for those, like me, seeking an easier pace.

Charity care slowing down at St. Charles Hospital system says economy may be impacting number seeking help

Changes to payment methods, treatment plans would eliminate a difficult decision for patients

eing in hospice care can have huge benefits for families and patients.

Hospice services can help people near the end of life take medications properly, arrange services and discuss end-of-life issues from both practical and spiritual perspectives.

They take care of people in their homes, or sometimes near the very end of life, in an inpatient facility. In study after study, patients report a n improved quality of life with hospice care.

But a recent report suggests that many people are not getting into hospice early enough to fully realize those benefits, and some experts say Medicare payment rules may contribute to that problem by forcing patients to give up conventional medical treatment in order to get hospice care.

A national report on patients with terminal cancer, released by the Dartmouth Atlas Project, found that on average, cancer patients spent just about a week in hospice during their last days of life.

Even in the areas that did the best — and Central Oregon was among the areas that did well — these patients still spent only about two weeks under hospice care.

See Hospice / F6

Runners find benefits in run-walk routines

By Leslie Barker Garcia The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — Initially, Karen Lester scoffed at incorporating walking into her Ironman training. After all, she had run (not walked) three marathons, and she knew how to run. It didn’t include walking, but her coach kept encouraging her. After swimming 2.4 miles and biking 112, he said, she’d need every last bit of energy to run 26.2 miles, the third leg of the Ironman tripod. Not until a training run on the actual course in St. George, Utah, did she change her mind.

“I saw those mountains,” said Lester, 46, of Dallas.

“Twenty-six miles up and down, up and down. I decided that run-walk was going to be a great idea. I’ve been faithful to run-walk training from then on.”

Vishal Patel, 34, was a beginning runner when he started using the run-walk method. He was overweight and had shin splints. Going from running to walking to running again was, he said, “pure survival.”

In 2001, Claire Oliver ran 18 miles of her first marathon and then “hit the wall,” she said. “Everything hurt in my body. I probably walked four of the last eight miles.”

The amount of care that St. Charles Health System provides for free has jumped dramatically over the past five years.

But, in the past two years, it seems to have leveled off. In 2008, the hospital system provided about $50 million in uncompensated care. In 2009 that number increased to $60 million.

If you remove the effect of a price increase between 2008 and 2009, the increase is just 4 percent. Compare that to jumps of 18 percent from 2007 to 2008 and 25 percent from 2006 to 2007.

“The only thing we can imagine is that people aren’t getting care so they aren’t coming in,” said Karen Shepard, chief financial officer at St. Charles. “It just

appears to me we haven’t had the volume.”

Uncompensated care is care that the hospital provides without payment. It is made up of charity care, given to people the organization deems unable to pay all or part of their bill, and bad debt, which the hospital bills for but does not collect.

One of the primary reasons that St. Charles is able to retain its nonprofit status and avoid paying most taxes is that it provides free or reduced care to people with low incomes. Indeed, anyone in Central Oregon with an income of less than 400 percent of the poverty level (about $88,000 for a family of four) is eligible for some reduction in their bill.

Do You Suffer from Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the cavities within the cheek bones around the eyes and behind the nose. While most common in the winter, Sinusitis may last for months if inadequately treated. Sinusitis may affect the nose, eyes, or middle ear, and may be indicated by plentiful, thick; colored nasal drainage, post-nasal drip, cough, head/ear/nasal congestion and headache.

Types of Sinusitis Acute, which is often caused by a bacterial infection as a complication of a cold. Symptoms last less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis last eight weeks or longer. Recurrent sinusitis is three or more episodes of acute sinusitis per year.

Although colds are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, it is more likely that people with allergies will develop sinusitis. Allergies can trigger inflammation of the sinuses & nasal mucous linings, preventing the sinus cavities from clearing out bacteria, increasing your chances of developing sinusitis.

It is important to seek maximal medical treatment before resorting to surgery.

Patients you should see an allergist/immunologist if you: • Have chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis despite initial treatment by their primary care provider.

• Have concurrent asthma and hayfever • Have other infections such as recurrent ear infections, bronchitis or pneumonia We accept Medicare and most insurances

Put down the peppermintcream-cheese brownie. Step away from the candy-canecrusted chocolate martini.

Between holiday treats at the office and post-work party dessert bonanzas — not to mention booze, booze, booze — risk is high that you’re beginning to look a lot like Santa.

The good news is that you can indulge in holiday festivities without gaining weight, as long as you mind your metabolism.

Two experts on nutrition and fitness offered advice for navigating caloric minefields and maximizing your metabolism on a typical day of the holiday season, when coworkers go on baking sprees and exercise takes a back seat to cocktail parties.

Ben Greenfield is a Seattlebased nutritionist and physical trainer (www.bengreenfi eldfitness.com). Paula Owens is a holistic nutritionist and fitness expert based in Phoenix (www.paulaowens.com).

Wake up Drink a glass of water upon waking; it’s not only important for hydration but it also cuts daily food intake by 13 percent, according to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

Add lemon juice to the water to nourish your liver, Owens said.

Arrive at work

Pre-party snack

This is where people often encounter the day’s first hurdle: A festive co-worker has brought in some kind of holiday deliciousness. With luck you’re full from your big breakfast, but if not, take one treat and don’t look back. “I don’t encourage people to completely skip cheats because you’ll go crazy,” Greenfield said.

If you time your cheat sessions for shortly after you exercise, it’s even better because your body is more likely to store the calories as glycogen rather than fat.

Don’t arrive at a holiday party hungry. It’s tempting to starve all day so you can stuff your face with free food, but think of it as getting fat for free, which sounds less appealing, Greenfield said.

Have a fiber- or protein-based snack before you go.

Midmorning coffee run Pass on the white chocolate peppermint mocha (holding the whip does not make it OK). Instead, opt for drip coffee. Add a bit of heavy cream and cinnamon for holiday flavor and to help stabilize the insulin spike you might experience from the coffee, Owens said.

Get up from your desk To help stimulate your metabolism, get up every hour and do something active, Greenfield said. At the end of each hour, take a walk or go somewhere private and do 100 jumping jacks or 100 squats, he suggested. Even just standing up burns more calories than sitting.

Arrive at the party Survey the food buffet and have a plan. Look for nuts, deli meats, vegetables and sandwiches served on wraps instead of bread, Greenfield said. Stay away from foods that are calorie based but not nutrient dense, like cookies. If you’re itching for something sweet, go for strawberries dipped in chocolate rather than pies or cakes, which have more unknown ingredients, Owens said. If you want to indulge in a treat, break off half or take a few bites and throw the rest away.

said. Choose drinks that you’ll sip slowly — something stronger or more bitter and savory — like a dirty vodka or gin martini instead of a chocolate martini, Greenfield said. Greenfield’s favorite drink is a shot of vodka with sparkling water and a splash or pineapple, cranberry or pomegranate juice.

Drink a glass of water between each alcoholic beverage, which will accomplish the social goal of having a glass in your hand but cuts down on the calories and the boozing.

Go home If you can take a walk after the party or do anything physically active, that’ll help store the calories as glycogen in the muscles rather than fat, Greenfield said. Drink plenty of water and, if you’ve partied hard, dissolve mineral tablets in the water to get electrolytes in your system so you don’t wake up hung over.

After all, you’ve got to work out in the morning.

Drinking Go for cocktails made from fresh ingredients, and beware the bottled margarita, eggnog or mudslide mixes, because those are some of the biggest calorie and sugar bombs, Greenfield

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet

Cheers! How to make healthier holiday drinks

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Many people put on a few pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s — and it’s not just food that’s to blame. Popular cold-weather beverages also can be packed with calories, fat and sugar. “They can really add up and do a number on your waistline,” says Gloria Tsang, a Washington-based registered dietitian. Here are tips from Tsang and other nutrition experts to make drinks healthier: Substitute ingredients. Hot chocolate and eggnog still taste great with low-fat or skim milk instead of whole. You can also use egg substitutes in eggnog and keep it liquor-free.

Take advantage of antioxidants. Look for hot chocolate mixes with dark chocolate as the first ingredient; they have more flavonoids, compounds that can reduce inflammation linked to heart disease. Add some cinna-

mon to hot apple cider to help improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels. And drink a glass of red wine for antioxidants that may protect against heart disease and eye problems.

Stick to small sizes. Think of treats such as eggnog lattes and mochas as desserts, not drinks.

Beware of mulled wine. Adding sugar and spices to wine boosts the calorie count: a 5 oz. glass of mulled wine has about 175 calories, compared to about 125 in a glass of red wine. Have one small glass of mulled wine and then stick to plain — or water.

Hold the toppings. Cutting whipped cream from a drink such as peppermint mocha can save 60 to 70 calories and six to seven grams of fat, Tsang says. Apple cider without added caramel has about 25 fewer calories a cup.

Mix in zero-calorie drinks. After enjoying one sweet drink and maybe a glass of wine, stick with water or diet soda.

Exercise Starting your day with exercise helps your body store what you eat subsequently as muscle energy, known as glycogen, instead of as fat, Greenfield said. That’s why, as a general rule, it’s good to exercise an hour or two before large meals, he said. Ideally, your exercise routine should look like this, Greenfield said: Cardio interval training for 20 minutes to an hour three times a week, weight training for 20 minutes to an hour three times a week, and long, slow cardio one or two times a week. Owens recommends 30 to 45 minutes of strength training to best boost your metabolism.

Try push-ups, dead lifts, lunges and chin-ups, she said.

Los Angeles Times

Believe it or not — considering all of the negative publicity the chemical bisphenol A has received, resulting in efforts to ban its use in baby bottles and other items for small children — scientists didn’t get around to publishing a peer-reviewed study measuring levels of the chemical in U.S. food until recently.

The work was published online in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

A research team led by Arnold Schecter of the University of Texas School of Public Health measured 105 foods purchased from grocery stores in Dallas in March 2010. They detected “quantifiable levels” of bisphenol A, which is often used to line food cans and to harden plastics, in 63 of them.

Bisphenol A content was not associated with any particular type of food or packaging.

Levels seemed comparable with those observed previously in other countries, the paper reported.

The worst offender tested was canned Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans.

The BPA levels detected by the researchers were almost 1,000 times lower than the tolerable daily intake levels set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the European Food Safety Authority, the scientists reported.

But many researchers aren’t convinced that those guidelines are appropriate. The paper reported that studies have identified adverse affects at lower doses. What it all means for the health-conscious consumer remains unclear.

Midafternoon crash From lunch forward, you should avoid starchy carbs, which are a dense energy source that gets turned into fat easily when you’re not exercising, Greenfield said. Instead, focus on fat- and protein-based foods.

An ideal afternoon snack is a protein smoothie, a handful of olives or an avocado with some cheese. Owens suggested having some celery with almond butter or hummus with chopped bell peppers or baby carrots.

Avoid complex carbs like bread, pasta or rice, which don’t have a lot of nutritional value and make you tired, Owens said. Instead, fill up on protein and fiber with a large, dark green salad with chicken breast or salmon, using lemon, olive oil or balsamic vinaigrette as dressing.

Deep snow adrenaline junkies!

Breakfast Though it may be tempting to reserve calories for an impending party, never skimp on breakfast, the experts say. If you eat a complete meal in the morning you’ll end up eating a lot less later in the day. Owens says to make it a well-balanced meal with protein, fibrous carbohydrates and some fats to give you a feeling of fullness.

Try eggs with spinach and avocado, plus a side of blueberries.

Greenfield recommends oatmeal, a handful of almonds, a handful of raisins and an egg.

No more sit-ups, said Cherie Touchette, a personal trainer at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center who teaches a functional core class there. Instead, Touchette emphasizes moves that teach people to keep their spine correctly aligned while strengthening the abdominal muscles. “It’s all about posture, posture, posture,” she said.

This exercise and all of those in this series work the muscles in the abdomen and the back. It can be done individually or you can combine all nine; this is the fifth in a series that will run in The Bulletin every other week

through January.

How to do it: Lie on your back, placing an exercise ball at your feet (1). Lift your legs up toward the ceiling (2), then twist to one side from the torso (3). Hips should come off the floor but shoulders should stay on the ground.

Alternate sides. If your hamstrings are tight, bend your knees, Touchette said, to bring ball above your body.

Touchette suggests 10 to 20 repetitions of each exercise.

Walking to school:It’s a step in the right direction

By Lenny Bernstein The Washington Post

Growing up in an affluent New York suburb 40 years ago, I walked to school every day. In fact, in elementary school I made the five- or 10-minute trek home for lunch, then walked back for the afternoon.

Those seem like unremarkable statements, but they’re not.

Today only 12 percent of all children walk or bike to school, according to U.S. government studies, down from 48 percent when I was traipsing up and down the hill to Barnard Elementary in the late 1960s.

These days, we have to hold a nationwide street fair like International Walk and Bike to School Day, with giveaways of helmets, water bottles and breakfast bars to get kids out of cars and onto bikes, scooters and their own two feet. Meanwhile, as you doubtlessly know by now, childhood obesity is epidemic and the rise of Type 2 diabetes in kids is staggering.

No study has yet proved cause and effect. But it’s a pretty safe bet there’s some connection.

It’s easy to see how this happened, especially in the suburbs and exurbs of places like Washington. The “neighborhood school” is now much more likely to be too far away to make walking or riding feasible for most young children. Vehicular traffic is way up. The percentage of families with a parent available to usher kids to school in the morning and back in the afternoon is way down. And, true or not, the perception that our streets are much more dangerous than when we were young has taken hold and is not going away.

“It’s inertia. People are used to (driving kids to school) and they accept it,” says Tim Blumenthal, director of Peopleforbikes.org, a campaign that is working to unify 1 million Americans in support of better conditions for cyclists. In 2005, Congress al-

Twelve percent of children walk to school today, compared with nearly half in the 1960s. located $612 million for the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, which works to get kids to school under their own power.

None of my three children has ever walked or biked to school in the 10 years we have lived in an affluent Montgomery County, Md., suburb. The high school and middle school are too far from my home. The elementary school is a bit of a hike, but it would mean crossing two heavily trafficked streets at the tail end of the morning rush hour. No way. My kids take the school bus or carpool.

In the early 1970s, before I could drive, I would hitchhike two or three miles to high school.

Often, I’d be picked up by an older kid with a car, but sometimes an adult stranger would take pity and pull over. No one worried about it too much.

Today I would chop off my children’s thumbs before I let them hitchhike down the block.

Poorer communities, with larger minority populations, tend to have higher obesity rates than middle-class neighborhoods. Many are in the city and closer-in suburbs, making the schools more “walkable.” At Whittier Education Campus in Washington, D.C., for example, a study by Safe Routes to School shows that 83 percent of the chil-

dren live within one mile, close enough to walk, bike, skateboard or scooter to school, but only 45 percent do, says Terri RhoulacSmith, a school liaison for the organization.

To allay parental fears about safety, groups have organized walking, or riding, “school buses”: an adult on foot or on a bike leads, a second adult follows at the back of the pack, and they pick up children as they make their way to school.

Another program, Boltage, uses a solar-powered ID-tracking machine, called the Zap, to count biking and walking trips to and from school. The Zap connects to the Internet and provides students and parents with daily reports on trips, calories burned and carbon dioxide saved.

It’s not just our kids who will benefit if we can make cycling and walking part of the daily routine again.

“The sum total and type of benefits that will come when more kids bike and walk to school is amazing,” says Blumenthal, who is also president of the Bikes Belong Foundation. “It’s not just that kids will be healthier. … In many parts of the U.S., 20 percent of morning traffic is one parent driving one or two kids to school.”

Continued from F1 Then she began incorporating walking into her training.

“I always thought it was really wimpy and was for people without the stamina to run,” said Oliver, who lives in Dallas. “But I ran my next five marathons with the Galloway method. It made a huge difference.”

The Galloway of whom she speaks is Jeff Galloway, the 1972 U.S. Olympian who is widely credited with creating a run-walk program in 1974. His books, including “Galloway’s Book on Running” (Shelter Publications; $18.95 paperback), have remained popular, as have his programs in dozens of cities.

Long before the concept became synonymous with Galloway’s name, running and walking were fraternal twins of movement. They jockeyed for position in our activity repertoire, as our ancestors decided how fast they wanted to get someplace, and whether they could maintain their pace to get there.

“Anthropologists believe running was the first form of twofooted locomotion,” Galloway said from his home in Atlanta, “but it was only designed for very short bursts, like to escape predators and other dangers.

More efficient was walking, and it served us extremely well. It was very, very efficient.”

If muscles are used continuously, as is the case when you run without breaks, they fatigue more quickly, he says. If you intersperse walking with running, muscles used for running revive themselves during walk segments.

“Hardly ever do I see people have to push their weak links — some have knee problems, some Achilles tendon or ankle or hips — into a state of injury or abuse when they’re doing run-walkrun,” he said.

After Oliver’s first marathon, she had troubles with her iliotibial band, the tissues that run down the outside of the leg. She hurt everywhere, she said. But after using the run-walk method of training and competing, she had no injuries.

“Doing Galloway helps you stay injury-free, meaning you can run more often and often longer distances,” said Oliver, 33.

“That’s what I did. I’m a stronger runner because of it.”

When she trains with her running class, she runs continuously. On her own or when coaching others, she prefers alternating running with walking, usually a 4-1 ratio. Pace depends on her heart rate and on the distance of the training run.

Under eight miles, she tends to run faster. Eight or more miles, she runs at a “comfortable, con-

Visha Patel, left, and a group from the Dallas Running Club walk up a hill at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas. The run-walk method helps give muscles a break to prevent fatigue.

The run-walk method U.S. Olympian Jeff Galloway, author of “Galloway’s Book on Running,” is credited with creating the run-walk program in 1974. Here are some of his tips for runners: • Begin with a similar run-to-walk ratio. Try one minute running, one walking, till you get comfortable. “As you get faster, the running portions are longer so you’re distributing the speed over those long minutes,” Galloway said.

• Start slowly. Warm up for the first mile or so. Use a much slower pace than what you anticipate running in subsequent miles. You’re warming up your muscles as well as any potential weak links your body might have.

• Monitor your speed. “If you’re huffing and puffing, you’re going too fast,” he said.

• Ease into the run segments. Starting too fast is tempting, but rein yourself in, he said.

• Let your run-walk ratio coincide with your pace-per-mile goal. If you want to run at a 10-minute pace, for example, run three minutes and walk one.

“When you drop to a nine-minute pace, run for four and you’ll have an extra minute.”

• Be open to different ratios. Maybe one run you can do 3:1 the whole time.

On another, if it wears you out, put in a few two-minute runs. Galloway and his wife tend to follow a pace of 30 seconds running, 30 walking.

versational” pace.

The run-walk method gives you something to look forward to, she says. “You think, ‘I can do this for four minutes.’ My body trains itself. I can look at my watch and 3:56 have passed. You get used to what four looks like.”

She adds, “That one minute of walking goes by a lot faster than a minute of running.”

Lester echoes that thought: “It’s easy to start walking after running. It’s harder to start running after walking.”

Like Oliver, during her training Lester runs four minutes and walks from 30 seconds to a minute. For a half-Ironman and other

smaller triathlons, she runs the whole time. For longer events, she goes with run-walk.

“I would use it for any Ironman or for a marathon,” she said.

“If you do it during a race and get halfway or three-quarters of the way through and feel absolutely spectacular, you can just run the last part.

“My coach tells me all the time that all the people who pass when you start walking, you’ll see yourself passing by the end of the race,” she said. “You’d rather end the race feeling like you have energy than ending it really worn down. Run-walk has helped me do that.”

Do-it-yourself fertility kits can mislead women, researchers find

By Sarah Avery McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Home fertility tests may not be reliable predictors of a woman’s ability to get pregnant, researchers at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill have found.

The group, led by Dr. Anne Steiner, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, found that the do-it-yourself kits often indicated women would have difficulties, yet many had no problem conceiving. “Although the tests are out there,

Uncompensated care at St. Charles As a group of nonprofit hospitals, St. Charles Health System is obligated to provide free or reduced care to those who cannot afford it. The amount of free care has increased steadily over the past five years, though it leveled off last year.

The numbers below are based on hospital charges and adjusted to take into account year-to-year price increases.

this is the first study that asks, can these tests be used to measure potential fertility?� Steiner said.

Women typically use the tests to gauge their chances of becoming pregnant, particularly if they’ve postponed child-bearing into their 30s when fertility diminishes.

Like a pregnancy test, a home fertility detector uses a chemically treated strip that reacts to hormones in the urine and displays a reading. It measures for follicle stimulating hormone, or FSH, a chemical produced in the

pituitary gland in the brain that helps stimulate the growth of eggs in the ovaries. But Steiner’s group found that abnormal FSH levels did not correlate to reduced fertility among the women who participated in the study.

Although FSH levels were not good predictors of who would have difficulty conceiving, another hormone was more accurate.

That chemical, anti-mullerian hormone, or AMH, is produced in the ovaries and also controls the growth of egg follicles.

How to avoid childhood allergies

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Many cases of food allergies and eczema — a skin condition marked by itchy rashes — are unavoidable. But dermatologists say these steps may help reduce your child’s risks: Consider your pregnancy diet. Babies whose mothers eat peanuts are more likely to test positive for peanut allergies, and the same may be true for eggs and egg allergies, according to a recently published article in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. However, previous studies have had conflicting results. Talk to your doctor.

Breast-feed your baby.

Here’s another plus for nursing: “There is evidence that for at-risk babies, exclusive breast-feeding for the first four months reduces the risk of eczema and cow’s milk allergy during the first two years of life,� said Dr. Stephen Shield of Allergy Partners of Eastern Virginia. “At-risk� refers to a child who has a parent or sibling with allergies.

Ask about a specialized formula. If you don’t breast-feed, extensively or partly hydrolyzed formula — mixtures in which protein is broken into smaller parts for easier digestion — may prevent or delay the onset of eczema.

Don’t introduce solid foods before age 4 to 6 months. Rice and oat cereals are good first choices because they rarely trigger allergies. Many pediatricians recommend not feeding highly allergenic foods to a child until age 1 (cow’s milk and citrus fruits), 2 (eggs and wheat) and 3 (peanuts and fish).

M CELEBRITY M EDICINE Dengue fever symptoms include high fever, a rash and joint pain Surfing legend Andy Irons was found dead last month in a Texas hotel room at the age of 32.

Although results from the autopsy may not be available for some time, Irons’ family suggested the death may have been linked to dengue fever. The condition is transmitted by a certain type of mosquito and is prevalent in the waters of Puerto Rico where Irons had recently traveled for a surfing competition.

Mild cases result in high fever, rash and muscle and joint pain.

Symptoms appear about four to seven days after being bitten and usually subside in a week. There are usually about 100 to 200 cases in the United States each year, most in people who have recently traveled to affected areas, although there have been recent outbreaks in Texas and Hawaii.

More severe forms of dengue usually start off as the mild form but become significantly worse after several days. Dengue hemorrhagic fever causes damage to blood and lymph vessels and can decrease the number of platelets, preventing blood from clotting properly.

Dengue shock syndrome is an even more serious form that involves a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Although no specific treatment is

Because the fever is caused by any of four viruses, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times, and subsequent cases tend to be more severe.

Winter’s limited light darkens mood for many

By Leslie Tamura The Washington Post

The weather is getting gray and cold, and that summer sense of excitement has melted away. It’s dark in the morning when you get up and dark in the evening when you come home. And it’s all making you feel downright blah, maybe even teetering on depressed.

Sounds like the wintertime blues.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re sad or down, you’re just lacking in the push that all people need to get through the day,” said Norman Rosenthal, a Maryland psychiatrist who studies seasonal conditions such as the winter blues. In the mid-1980s, Rosenthal and his colleagues at the National Institute of Mental Health coined the term “seasonal affective disorder,” or SAD, for an extreme form of the wintertime blues.

About 20 percent of Americans start to feel down as the days get noticeably shorter, Rosenthal said. Some people start feeling their mood change as early as July, when daylight begins to grow shorter after the summer solstice on June 21. Most, however, first notice the change after they move their clocks back into standard time, which this year occurred Nov. 7. It’s a little lighter in the early morning for a few weeks until the days shorten even more, but it’s nearly nighttime for the post-work commute home.

Psychiatrists and chronobiologists — scientists who study organisms’ internal rhythms — say exposure to light, morning light in particular, is what makes the difference to mood.

“Light during the middle of the day is of no consequence,” said Alfred Lewy, a psychiatry professor at Oregon Health & Science University who studies SAD. Rosenthal, who wrote the book “Winter Blues,” agrees that morning light has been shown to relieve the blues but said light can be helpful any time.

During winter, the sun rises later in the day and does not stick around for very long — especially the farther you are from the equator. During December in Miami, for instance, the sun is up for about 11 hours, while in Washington, D.C., it’s a little more than nine hours, which means nearly 15 hours of darkness.

The role of light seems apparent in some geographical differences in the winter blues. According to Rosenthal, about 3 percent of Floridians report having the blues, while in Maryland, the number rises to 10 percent. In Fairbanks,

Thinkstock

Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is an extreme form of the wintertime blues that afflicts 14 million people in the U.S. Alaska — where the sun is up for only about four hours in December — it’s about 19 percent.

Regardless of location and for reasons that are unclear, women are three times as likely as men to develop the seasonal symptoms, said Rosenthal.

Why might the waning light cause lethargy, depression, social withdrawal and even hunger?

Some scientists suggest that those who experience the winter blues are simply more sensitive to light and light deprivation. Others have shown that, in people with the blues, serotonin, the brain chemical involved in feeling satisfied, dips excessively when there is less daylight.

A widely accepted theory is that the limited winter light alters our biological clocks.

Humans run on an approximately 24-hour cycle that sets us up to be active during the day and to rest at night, said Michael Terman, a Columbia University psychiatry professor and president of the nonprofit Center for Environmental Therapeutics.

According to Rosenthal, in the evening our brains start secreting melatonin, a hormone that signals to our bodies that it’s dark outside.

That happens a few hours before an individual starts feeling sleepy.

In most people, sunrise often cues the brain to gradually stop secreting melatonin, Lewy says.

Although that is not an immediate wake-up signal, once the hormone recedes from the system, we may tend to wake up spontaneously.

Because winter days are primarily dark, we want to sleep more and wake later. Life’s morning obligations, however, don’t change with the season. We may wake before we’re biologically ready, then feel groggy and moody throughout the day.

Next week Program to address substance abuse by medical professionals sees big changes.

Hospice Continued from F1 “The goal of helping cancer patients live out their last weeks and months with as much function and comfort as possible cannot be achieved,” the report concluded, “if patients enter hospice care just before they die.”

Getting to hospice too late to fully benefit has become more common among all patients, not just those with cancer, in Central Oregon. Even though area hospice services say they try to enroll people as soon as they can benefit, the average time a person is enrolled before they die is dropping here, area hospices said. Sometimes the drop is dramatic.

In 2009, 64 days was our average time people received services, said Eric Alexander, CEO of Partners in Care, a hospice organization in Bend.

“In 2010, it’s trending down in the mid-40s.”

Alexander was not sure why hospices in Central Oregon are seeing a drop in the length of time that people are receiving services. There are, however, myriad theories about why people in general do not get hospice care sooner: Death is unpredictable, physicians tend to want to cure us rather than tell us they cannot, and most people are uncomfortable discussing their own mortality. These are difficult problems, as much a part of human nature as of the modern health care system.

Hospice repayment But one of the primary reasons that people do not get hospice care sooner has nothing to do with any of these issues. It has simply to do with how hospice centers get paid.

For most people, beginning hospice means stopping active treatment of a disease. Medicare, and most commercial health insurers, will not pay for treatment intended to cure a disease or prolong a person’s life after beginning hospice.

“It forces a bit of an artificial transition,” said Dr. Susan Tolle, a professor at Oregon Health & Science University and an expert on end-of-life issues. “Cure, cure, cure. Then, comfort only.”

That means, too, that patients must decide to quit treatment before they begin hospice. For many, that happens long after they could benefit from a hospice center’s services.

“If feels so much like giving up to people who have been cure oriented,” Tolle said.

“They wait too long.”

People are reluctant to go on hospice when they perceive it as quitting fighting their

Hospice care is a crucial part of end-of-life care for many people, but various factors mean some people get it too late to benefit.

Pictured is the Hospice House in Bend. disease, said Deborah Jaques, executive director of the Oregon Hospice Association. “How many obituaries do you read that say, ‘She had a valiant fight against cancer?’ We have this kind of warrior-like perception in America about fighting to live.”

The way hospices are reimbursed, Jaques and others said, makes it difficult, if not impossible, to convince people who still think they have a chance of beating their disease to try hospice.

When a person enters hospice, Medicare or the insurer changes how they pay for medical bills. Instead of paying for each procedure, the hospice is reimbursed a set amount of money each day it cares for a patient. That reimbursement covers the cost of taking care of the patient and providing comfort, though it is not enough to cover expensive treatments. (There are some allowances made if a patient needs acute hospital care for a problem that can be taken care of no other way, or if the patient goes to the emergency room for an issue not related to his or her terminal illness.)

Because a hospice center cannot bill for each treatment, it is limited in what it can provide. That gets complicated in many cases, said Dr. Laura Mavity, a palliative care specialist at St. Charles Bend, when expensive therapies may be considered comfort care and, sometimes, also treatment.

“Medicare doesn’t pay hospice any extra to provide really expensive things,” she said. “That’s a struggle that I think each individual hospice goes through in thinking about what kind of care we can provide.”

Changing payment There are efforts under way to change the way hospice is paid and to encourage people to enter hospice earlier.

Provisions of the health reform law passed in March created a demonstration project that will allow payment for both hospice and curative care. That means, for example, a person with terminal cancer could enroll in hospice and continue to receive chemotherapy.

“Americans won’t have to make the choice,” said Jaques.

Beginning in January, children who are on Medicaid (in this state called the Oregon Health Plan) or who get insurance through Oregon Healthy Kids will be allowed to receive treatment for a terminal illness while they are also on hospice. For adults, the health reform law allows for a test of that concept, with the idea that if it works it will become permanent.

Fifteen hospices across the country will be chosen for a demonstration project that will begin in 2013. Though the sites have not yet submitted proposals, Jaques said she hoped at least one of the hospices in Oregon would be one of those sites.

In other areas where allowing people to get curative treatment at the same time that they are on hospice has been tried, often called concurrent care, it has been a success.

Aetna, one of the nation’s largest commercial health insurers, began allowing its members to elect hospice and continue to receive treatment in 2004. Once they did so, the number of people who went on hospice increased and the average number of days that a person spent under hospice care nearly doubled.

In addition, costly emergency visits and stays in the hospital dropped. Overall, the cost to care for this population dropped 22 percent, Aetna wrote in an analysis of its program.

Based on the results of that program, Aetna now offers a care manager to all plan members who qualify, and for many of its commercial members, allows people to receive treatment while they are on hospice.

“Doing both would be ideal for many people,” said Tolle. She cited a survey in which 20 percent of people enrolled in hospice marked on end-of-life care forms that they wanted some interventions, meaning that in an emergency they would likely be taken to the hospital.

“Even those enrolled in hospice,” Tolle said, “are not completely wrapping their arms around the Medicare hospice benefit.”

Americans live longer, but British are healthier

By ShariRoan Los Angeles Times

People who live in England tend to have fewer chronic illnesses from age 55 to 64 compared with Americans. But Americans and the English have similar death rates at that age range, and after age 65, Americans have somewhat better survival rates.

The conclusions come from a Rand Corp. study released recently in the journal Demography. Researchers explored data on the prevalence of various chronic diseases and death rates in each country. In a previous study published recently, the researchers working with this data found that Americans suffered from diabetes and other chronic diseases at twice the rates of people of a similar age in England. But Americans’ poorer health status did not translate to earlier death.

“If you get sick at older ages, you will die sooner in England than in the United States,” a co-author of the study, James Smith of Rand, said in a news release. “It appears that at least in terms of survival at older ages with chronic disease, the medical system in the United States may be better than the system in England.”

It’s possible that people in England are diagnosed at a later stage of illness than Americans and, thus, die sooner. The study also found that changes in Americans’ wealth — such as the upswing in wealth from 1992 to 2002 — did not alter the probability of death.

This is a positive reflection on America’s health care system and a thumbs-down on Americans’ lifestyles, said co-author James Banks of the Institute for Fiscal Studies in London.

“The United States’ health problem is not fundamentally a health care or insurance problem, at least at older ages,” he said in a news release. “It is a problem of excess illness, and the solution to that problem may lie outside the healthcare delivery system. The solution may be to alter lifestyles or other behaviors.”
