When developers first proposed building a wind farm in southwest Crook County, officials took a look at their current maps showing wildlife corridors.

It showed the area as critical elk habitat, which meant the lot could not be divided into anything smaller than 320-acre parcels. The wind farm would also occupy a small part of Deschutes County. And with one step over the county line, elk habitat was not an issue.

“We have the most restriction on our maps for elk habitat, and we looked at other county lines and we’re not meshing,” said Crook County Planning Director Bill Zelenka. “Where we have deer habitat, you cross over the line and there’s nothing.”

Zelenka said the last time the county made any changes to its wildlife policies was in 1992.

Now, there are new techniques to identifying critical wildlife habitat, and more is known about the process. Crook County is in the process of evaluating and updating its maps. It’s a process the county wants the public involved in.

“The process does affect private lands and (could affect) landowners in these sensitive wildlife habitats,” said Brian Ferry, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Area where Whychus meets the Deschutes marked by steep canyons, popular spots, proximity to development

More than 15,000 acres, centered around the confluence of Whychus Creek with the Deschutes River, would be protected as part of the proposed Whychus-Deschutes Wilderness. The area includes steep canyons along the Middle Deschutes.

he steep, craggy cliffs along the lower stretch of Whychus Creek and the Middle Deschutes, including Alder Springs and the Steelhead Falls, would be a new wilderness area under a proposal from the Oregon Natural Desert Association.

“It’s a really completely unique, rugged area,” said Gena Goodman-Campbell, Central Oregon wilderness coordinator with the Bend-based conservation nonprofit. “And the fact that it has remained undeveloped, and relatively untouched over the years of a lot of development in that area, it’s just a testament to that ruggedness and wildness of that canyon.”

The area, which would be called the Whychus-Deschutes Wilderness, would be about 15,000 acres along Whychus Creek and the Middle Deschutes, including the confluence of the two.

The area, with its cold springs, will be key spawning and rearing habitat for steelhead, Goodman-Campbell said, when the fish that have been reintroduced to the area return in a couple of years.

The area also has trails and recreation sites, she said, including a popular hike to Steelhead Falls on the Deschutes River.

“It’s super accessible,” she said. “Steelhead Falls, you can walk a couple hundred feet into this proposed wilderness and really get a feel of the wildness and the character of it.”

And the proposed wilderness area is also right up against residential areas — including about 150 lots in Crooked River Ranch.

While it’s unusual for a wilderness area to be so close to development, it’s not unheard of, Goodman-Campbell said.

And having a federally designated wilderness in their backyards won’t have an impact on local land use laws for neighbors, she said.

Some of the land included in the proposal is partly managed by the Crooked River National Grassland, while other sections are managed by the Prineville district of the Bureau of Land Management.

INDEX Abby

Marion County Sheriff’s Office officials continued efforts Sunday to recover a body in the North Santiam River that might be that of missing Bend woman Lori “Woody” Blaylock.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Don Thompson said there was no indication the body was Blaylock’s, adding that such a determination could take some time because the remains are badly decomposed.

Kayakers discovered the body in the North Santiam River near Idanha east of Detroit Lake on Saturday. Some of Blaylock’s clothing was found in the same river last month.

Blaylock was reported missing by her co-workers at St. Charles Bend on Nov. 2 after she failed to show up for work.

Her husband, Steven Blaylock, was arrested on Nov. 10 on suspicion of murder, assault and tampering with evidence. He now faces a single count of murder related to her disappearance.

When questioned by police, Blaylock told them his wife walked away from their home on Northeast Genet Court on Oct. 28. He said he didn’t report her missing because he believed she would come home.

— Nick Grube, The Bulletin

The Oregon Natural Desert Association is gathering support for a new Whychus-Deschutes Wilderness area, west of Crooked River Ranch, along canyons carved by the Middle Deschutes and by Whychus Creek, seen here.

Credit card offers are surging again after a three-year slowdown, as banks seek to revive a business that brought them huge profits before the financial crisis wrecked the credit scores of so many Americans.

The rise is striking because it includes offers to riskier borrowers who were shunned as recently as six months ago.

But this time, in contrast to the boom years, when banks “preapproved” seemingly everyone, lenders are choosing their prospects more carefully and setting stricter terms to guard against another wave of losses.

For consumers, the resurgence of card offers, however cautious, provides an opportunity to repair damaged credit and regain the convenience of paying with plastic. But there is a catch: The new cards have higher interest rates and annual fees.

Free speech and policing Facebook’s underbelly

By Miguel Helft New York Times News Service

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and chief executive of Facebook, likes to say that his website brings people together, helping to make the world a better place. But Facebook isn’t a utopia, and when it comes up short, Dave Willner tries to clean it up.

Dressed in Facebook’s quasiofficial uniform of jeans, a T-shirt and flip-flops, the 26-year-old Willner hardly looks like a cop on the beat. Yet he and his colleagues on Facebook’s hate and harassment team are part of a virtual police squad charged with taking down content that is illegal or violates Facebook’s terms of service. That puts them on the front line of the debate over free speech on the Internet.

That role came into sharp focus last week as the controversy about WikiLeaks boiled over on the Web, with coordinated attacks on major corporate and government sites perceived to be hostile to that group.

Facebook took down a page used by WikiLeaks supporters to organize hacking attacks on the sites of such companies, including PayPal and MasterCard; it said the page violated the terms of service, which prohibit material that is hateful, threatening or pornographic, or incites violence or illegal acts. But it did not remove WikiLeaks’ own Facebook pages.

Facebook’s decision in the WikiLeaks matter illustrates the complexities that the company grapples with, on issues as diverse as that controversy, verbal bullying among teenagers, gaybaiting and religious intolerance.

With Facebook’s prominence on the Web — its more than 500 million members upload more than 1 billion pieces of content a day — the site’s role as an arbiter of free speech is likely to become even more pronounced.

“Facebook has more power in determining who can speak and who can be heard around the globe than any Supreme Court justice, any king or any president,” said Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University who has written about free speech on the Internet. “It is important that Facebook is exercising its power carefully and protecting more speech rather than less.”

Many complaints But Facebook rarely pleases everyone. Any piece of content — a photograph, video, page or even a message between two individuals — could offend somebody. Decisions by the company not to remove material related to Holocaust denial or pages critical of Islam and other religions, for example, have annoyed advocacy groups and prompted some countries to temporarily block the site.

Some critics say Facebook does not do enough to prevent certain abuses, like bullying, and may put users at risk with lax privacy policies. They also say the company is often too slow to respond to problems.

For example, a page lampooning and, in some instances, threatening violence against an 11-year-old girl from Orlando, Fla., who had appeared in a music video, was still up last week, months after users reported the page to Facebook. The girl’s mother, Christa Etheridge, said

Peak of popularity a wistful memory for the Wii

By Ben Fritz Los Angeles Times

Jim Wilson / New York Times News Service

From left: Facebook’s hate and harassment team — James Mitchell, seated at left, Jessica Ghastin, Nick Sullivan, Slater Tow and Dave Willner — monitors a page on Facebook’s site at the company’s offices in Palo Alto, Calif. The group takes down content that is illegal or violates Facebook’s terms of service, a role that often puts it in the middle of arguments over free speech and bullying on the Web.

“Facebook has more power in determining who can speak and who can be heard around the globe than any Supreme Court justice, any king or any president.”

— Jeffrey Rosen, law professor, George Washington University

she had been in touch with law enforcement authorities and was hoping the offenders would be prosecuted.

“I’m highly upset that Facebook has allowed this to go on repeatedly and to let it get this far,” she said.

A Facebook spokesman said the company had left the page up because it did not violate its terms of service, which allow criticism of a public figure. The spokesman said that by appearing in a band’s video, the girl had become a public figure, and that the threatening comments had not been posted until a few days ago. Those comments, and the account of the user who had posted them, were removed after The New York Times inquired about them.

Facebook says it is constantly working to improve its tools to report abuse and trying to educate users about bullying. And it says it responds as fast as it can to the roughly 2 million reports of potentially abusive content that its users flag every week.

“Our intent is to triage to make sure we get to the high-priority, high-risk and high-visibility items most quickly,” said Joe Sullivan, Facebook’s chief security officer.

In early October, Willner and his colleagues spent more than a week dealing with one high-risk, highly visible case; rogue citizens of Facebook’s world had posted anti-gay messages and threats of violence on a page inviting people to remember Tyler Clementi and other gay teenagers who have committed suicide, on so-called Spirit Day, Oct. 20.

Working with colleagues here and in Dublin, they tracked down the accounts of the offenders and shut them down. Then, using an automated technology to tap Facebook’s graph of connections between members, they tracked down more profiles for people who, as it turned out, had also been posting violent messages.

“Most of the hateful content was coming from fake profiles,” said James Mitchell, who is Willner’s supervisor and leads the team. He said that because most of these profiles, created by people he called “trolls,” were connected to those of other trolls, Facebook could track down and block an entire network relatively quickly.

Using the system, Willner and his colleagues silenced dozens of troll accounts, and the page became usable again. But trolls are repeat offenders, and it took Willner and his colleagues nearly 10 days of monitoring the page around the clock to take down more than 7,000 profiles that kept surfacing to attack the Spirit Day event page.

Hidden taunts Most abuse incidents are not nearly as prominent or public as the defacing of the Spirit Day page, which had nearly 1.5 million members. As with schoolyard taunts, they often happen among a small group of people, hidden from casual view.

On a morning in November, Nick Sullivan, a member of the hate and harassment team, watched as reports of bullying incidents scrolled across his screen, full of mind-numbing vulgarity.

Emily looks like a brother. (Deleted) Grady is with Dave. (Deleted) Ronald is the biggest loser. (Deleted) As attacks on specific people who are not public figures, these all violated the terms of service.

“There’s definitely some crazy stuff out there,” Sullivan said.

“But you can do thousands of these in a day.”

Nancy Willard, director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, which advises parents and teachers on Internet safety, said her organization frequently received complaints that Facebook does not quickly remove threats against individu-

als. Jim Steyer, executive director of Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group based in San Francisco, also said that many instances of abuse seemed to fall through the cracks.

“Self-policing can take some time, and by then a lot of the damage may already be done,” he said.

Facebook maintains it is doing its best.

“In the same way that efforts to combat bullying offline are not 100 percent successful, the efforts to stop people from saying something offensive about another person online are not complete either,” Sullivan said.

Facebook faces even thornier challenges when policing activity that is considered political by some and illegal by others, such as the publication of secret diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks.

This year, for example, the company declined to take down pages related to “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day,” an Internet-wide protest to defend free speech that surfaced in repudiation of death threats received by two cartoonists who had drawn pictures of Muhammad. A lot of the discussion on Facebook involved people in Islamic countries debating with people in the West about why the images offended.

Facebook’s team worked to separate the political discussion from the attacks on specific people or Muslims.

“There were people on the page that were crossing the line, but the page itself was not crossing the line,” Mitchell said.

Facebook has also sought to walk a delicate line on Holocaust denial. The company has generally refused to block Holocaust denial material, but has worked with human rights groups to take down some content linked to organizations or groups, like the government of Iran, for which Holocaust denial is part of a larger campaign against Jews.

“Obviously we disagree with them on Holocaust denial,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. But Cooper said Facebook had done a better job than many other major websites in developing a thoughtful policy on hate and harassment.

LOS ANGELES — At NextGen Video Games, it has been two months since a customer bought a Nintendo Wii, the console that became a sensation for letting players swing a virtual tennis racket or steer a virtual car with a flick of the wrist.

Owner Jeff Bryson has three on hand for the holiday season, significantly fewer than last year, and he’s not even sure he’ll find buyers for those.

“The Wii has really slowed down,” Bryson said on a recent evening in his Los Angeles store.

“It’s tough to sell.”

Just three years ago, Nintendo Co.’s video-game device was nearly impossible to find, as hard-core gamers clamored for it along with novices, including families with young children and grandparents drawn to its easy-to-use wand.

From January 2007, just after it launched, until last May, the Wii was the top-selling game console nearly every month in the U.S. But things have taken a decided turn. The Wii fell to No. 3 from No. 1 this year, with U.S. sales down 24 percent in the first 10 months compared with the same period in 2009. Sales of Microsoft Corp.’s rival Xbox 360 are up 34 percent, and Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 has risen 15 percent.

Games for the device are on a similar downward slope. Electronic Arts Inc. recently told investors that Wii game sales outside of Japan fell 34 percent in the recent quarter and are expected to be “down sharply” for the full year. Many who have bought a Wii appear to be letting it gather dust rather than buying new games.

“The success of the Wii has been bound in large part to people who enjoyed it as a fad and have now moved on,” said Marc Jackson, chief executive of videogame finance and consulting firm Seahorn Capital.

Makers of successful consoles such as Sony, with the PlayStation 2, made their biggest profits from royalties on games made by other publishers for their device. Nintendo isn’t seeing the same benefit. That’s one reason the Japanese company recently slashed its revenue forecast for the current fiscal year by 21 percent.

“The success of the Wii was amazing, but as of late the company is not profiting from that success,” said Matt Jacobs, an analyst with ITG Investment Research.

The Wii’s dominance before 2010 can hardly be understated.

After Nintendo’s last console, the GameCube, lingered in third place, the company shocked many in the industry in 2006 with the Wii, which was less powerful than competing machines but introduced a motion-sensing wand instead of relying on the traditional pressing-button controller.

It was an immediate hit, selling 74 million units worldwide.

That success came largely from an untapped market: infrequent game players. But infrequent game players by definition don’t make for repeat customers when it comes to buying new Wii games.

‘Angry Birds’ flocking to cell phones everywhere

By Jenna Wortham New York Times News Service

It sounds like a tough sell: a game that involves catapulting birds at elaborate fortresses constructed by evil pigs.

But “Angry Birds,” a hit game

by Rovio, a small Finnish company, is one of the unlikeliest popculture crazes of the year — and perhaps the first to make the leap from cell phone screens to the mainstream.

“Angry Birds,” in which the birds seek revenge on the eggstealing pigs, is meant to be eas-

ily played in the checkout line and during other short windows of downtime — but some players have trouble stopping. Rovio says people around the world rack up 200 million minutes of game play each day.

The game has inspired parodies, homages and fervent testimonials.

Homemade “Angry Birds” costumes were big hits on Halloween.

Conan O’Brien demonstrated the game in a YouTube video promoting his new show, and a sketch from an Israeli TV show about a birds-and-pigs peace treaty was

popular online. Celebrities have professed their love of “Angry Birds” on social networks.

Games like “Angry Birds” are reaching a wide audience of players who might never consider buying an Xbox or PlayStation, but are now carrying sophisticated game machines in their pockets — smart phones. Software developers, eager to become the next Rovio, are creating casual games for this crowd, games that are easy to learn and hard to stop playing.

The trajectory of “Angry Birds”

also suggests a larger shift in the entertainment business and in the kinds of brands that can win wide popularity. And unlike many of the best-known console video games, cell phone games like “Angry Birds” are often made by small companies and catch on by word of mouth.

“There’s no more formula,” said James McQuivey, an analyst at Forrester Research. “It doesn’t matter where it starts: a ringtone, a video game, book. It has a shot at the big time.”

Fans of the game took to the

streets Saturday for “Angry Birds” Day, celebrating its first anniversary. Rovio worked with the Web service Meetup.com to help organize the gatherings in New York, London, Jakarta, Budapest and dozens of other cities, but fans stepped up to lead the gatherings.

Although Rovio has released two dozen other mobile games, none has come close to the success of “Angry Birds.” Since it was released a year ago, 50 million copies have been downloaded, and Apple said last week that it was the bestselling iPhone app of 2010.

T S Afghan blast kills 6 U.S. troops Tax benefits to middle class could pay off for Obama

By C.J. Chivers

New York Times News Service

ZHARE, Afghanistan — Six U.S. soldiers were killed and more than a dozen American and Afghan troops were wounded on Sunday morning when a van packed with explosives was detonated at a new jointly operated outpost in southern Afghanistan.

The soldiers were inside in a small mud-walled building near

the village of Sangsar, north of the Arghandab River, when the bomber drove up to one of the walls and exploded his charge about 9 a.m.

The blast could be heard eight miles away, and it sent a dusty mushroom cloud towering over the surrounding farmland.

The explosion blasted a hole in the thick wall, causing the roof to collapse on soldiers inside. Others quickly arrived and clawed

and pulled at the waist-deep rubble to free the buried troops.

The building had been occupied by the Americans and Afghans for only a few days, a U.S. official said, and was beside a narrow road. It was not immediately clear how the van managed to get so close without being challenged or stopped.

Gen. Abdul Hameed, a commander in the Afghan National

Army, said in a telephone interview that his soldiers had tried to stop the van but that its driver ignored them and rammed the vehicle into the building.

The Taliban swiftly claimed responsibility for the bombing. “We have killed numbers of Americans and Afghan soldiers and wrecked and ruined their security check post,” a Taliban spokesman said.

WikiLeaks defenders swarmed wrong target

By Ian Austen New York Times News Service

OTTAWA — It is not clear if the mistake first appeared on a blog or flitted around in a Twitter message. But whatever its source, it swept Mark Jeftovic and his company, EasyDNS, into both sides of the storm over corporate support, or the lack thereof, for WikiLeaks.

When Jeftovic took a look at his e-mail on the morning of Dec. 3, he was surprised to find a critical comment from a customer over his company’s decision to no longer provide domain name hosting for WikiLeaks.

A quick Google search made the comment less puzzling.

Several blogs and websites had posted variations of this sentence: “EasyDNS.net has cut off DNS service to WikiLeaks.” (DNS refers to the Domain Name System, which is something like a switchboard for the Internet.)

WikiLeaks had indeed lost the support of the company that was providing the connection between the domain name wikileaks.org and the WikiLeaks Web servers. But that company was EveryDNS, a free provider based in the United States.

The controversy took a new turn after Jeftovic took his next step. A person from outside of Canada, whom Jeftovic declined to identify, approached him on behalf of a WikiLeaks consortium to help manage the names wikileaks.org, wiki leaks.ch and wikileaks.nl.

Jeftovic decided it would be hypocritical to make so much noise about having not abandoned WikiLeaks and then not help the organization when asked to do so.

Jeftovic has agreed to host all three of the names on special servers isolated from the rest of the company’s servers.

South Korean vessel sinks in Antarctic; 42 in jeopardy

By Hyung-jin Kim The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean fishing boat with 42 sailors aboard is sinking in the Antarctic Ocean, a coast guard official said early today.

The company that owns the vessel reported that the ship was sinking in waters about 1,400 miles south of New Zealand, a South Korean Coast Guard officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of office rules. The officer said she no details about rescue efforts and the present state of the vessel.

Eight of the 42 people aboard the ship are South Koreans, the officer said.

Chinese, Indonesian and Vietnamese sailors also are aboard the ship, Yonhap news agency reported.

South Korea’s YTN television station said the coast guard has asked New Zealand for help.

Storm socks Midwest, cancels flights, closes roads

By Sophia Tareen The Associated Press

CHICAGO — A powerful, gusty storm dumped mounds of snow across the upper Midwest on Sunday, closing major highways in several states, canceling more than 1,600 flights in Chicago and collapsing the roof of the Minnesota Vikings’ stadium.

At least four weather-related deaths were reported as the storm system dropped nearly 2 feet of snow in parts of Minnesota and marched east. A blizzard warning was in effect Sunday for parts of eastern Iowa, southeastern Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois and northern Michigan, according to the National Weather Service. Surrounding areas, including Chicago, were under winter storm warnings. Much of Iowa was under a wind-chill advisory.

The wintry weather, with blowing snow that severely limited visibility, wreaked havoc on air and road travel. In the Chicago area, wind gusts of up to 50 mph, temperatures in the teens and wind chills well below zero were ex-

Record rains raise flood threat on Northwest rivers SEATTLE — Record rainfall in the Pacific Northwest triggered mudslides and threatened to cause severe flooding of some western Washington rivers Sunday.

At least 1,375 flights were canceled at O’Hare International Airport, and more than 300 were canceled at Midway International Airport, Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said. Both airports expected more cancellations and reported significant delays.

Major highways in several states were closed due to poor driving conditions and accidents.

Tod Pritchard of Wisconsin Emergency Management warned that Sunday afternoon would be especially difficult because temperatures were falling and at a certain point, road salt would no longer work. The storm had already dropped up to 18 inches of snow in parts of Wisconsin, he said, and light snow continued Sunday. ning, with the worst of the flood danger over by early today.

WASHINGTON — With the Senate poised to hold a key vote this afternoon on the tax cut deal between President Barack Obama and Republicans, the political jousting has focused on what the agreement does for the wealthy and for the unemployed.

But in addition to the continued lower income tax rates for everyone, the deal allocates hundreds of billions of dollars more to benefit middle- and upper-middle-income Americans.

It is a bid to stimulate the economy that could pay big political dividends to Obama in 2012 — one reason he was willing to give in to Republican demands to temporarily extend all Bush-era tax rates.

Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, appearing Sunday on “Meet the Press” on NBC, said Obama was still convinced there was no economic benefit to continuing lower tax rates for the highest earners.

“That’s a bitter pill to have to deal with,” Goolsbee said.

“But it’s a compromise, and by giving that one piece we were able to get a series of things that I think make a big difference to the middle class and working families.”

The single most expensive component of the package — other than the continuation of all of the marginal rates — is a two-year adjustment of the Alternative Minimum Tax, to prevent it from hitting millions more households. This will cost $137 billion, according to a detailed analysis by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.

Middle- and upper-middle income Americans will also benefit most from the oneyear payroll tax cut, which will reduce the Social Security tax on income up to $106,800 to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent.

Backers, foes say plan will pass WASHINGTON — The White House expressed confidence Sunday that President Barack Obama’s deal with Republicans will pass by year’s end, averting a Jan. 1 increase in income taxes for nearly all Americans, even the highest earners. In a sign of fading resistance, a Democratic leader said the lame-duck House will try to make changes, but won’t block the bill.

Ahead of a test vote in the Senate today, Obama adviser David Axelrod predicted the president’s compromise deal would win out despite a tougher sell in the House. Majority Democrats, who lose control of the House to Republicans in January, voted last week not to allow it to reach the floor without changes to scale back relief for wealthy estates.

Sweden focuses on bombing suspect New York Times News Service STOCKHOLM — A day after two explosions struck central Stockholm, killing the man suspected of being a suicide bomber and wounding two other people, investigators began to focus on the possibility the person responsible was an Iraqi-born Swede who had attended college in Britain.

Reports in British and Swedish newspapers, citing govern-

ment sources, identified the man as Taimour al-Abdaly, a 28-yearold Sunni Muslim whose family moved to Sweden from Baghdad in 1992. Officials declined to comment, saying the bomber’s identity was part of the investigation.

But the suspect’s possible link to Britain was reinforced Sunday night when the Metropolitan Police in London said officers were searching a property at an address

in Bedfordshire, the county in which al-Abdaly is believed to have attended college. A spokesman said the search was “in connection with the incidents in Stockholm.”

Sweden’s prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, told reporters at a news conference Sunday that an investigation was still working to establish links among the explosions, the dead man and messages sent to a Swedish news agency.

‘I’m not a witch’ ties for 2010’s top quotation

Credit Continued from A1 Lenders are “tiptoeing their way back into the higher-risk pool of customers,” said John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at Smart Credit.com.

In extending credit again to riskier borrowers, lenders are looking beyond standard credit scores, on the theory that some people who might seem to be equal credit risks on the surface may in fact show differences in their spending habits or other behavior — like registering on an online job site — that suggest variations in their ability to keep up with payments.

By John Christoffersen The Associated Press

Types of borrowers Industry consultants, in their attempt to feed the demand for finer classifications of borrowers, have coined new labels to describe different borrowers with similar credit scores.

One is “strategic defaulters,” whose credit scores were damaged because they walked away from a home when its value dropped below what was owed on the mortgage. These borrowers made a bad bet on real estate but may otherwise be prudent risks because they make a good living.

Similarly, “first-time defaulters” once had a strong credit record but ran into financial trouble during the recession.

Typically, these borrowers fell behind on some sort of loan payment after losing a job, not from taking on too much debt.

By contrast, there are “sloppy payers,” who pay only some bills on time; “abusers,” who are defiant about paying; and “distressed borrowers,” who simply do not have the means to pay.

The goal is to identify consumers whose credit scores are blemished but who still have the money to pay their bills.

“Lenders want to prove to themselves that it is worth taking a higher risk,” said Brad Jolson, an executive of the decision management company FICO, who has helped several card companies analyze their customer base.

This new approach to assessing default risk is emblematic of the challenge faced by the many banks that were hobbled by the financial crisis: They desperately want to grow again, but the memory of a near-death experience makes them wary about taking outsize risks.

Lending losses Lenders have taken $189 billion in credit card losses since 2007, according to Oliver Wyman Group, a financial consultancy. That was a significant part of the $2 trillion or so banks are estimated to have lost since the crisis began, and a contributor to the government bailout of the banking system.

To stem losses, lenders halted new card offers to all but their most affluent customers. At the same time, more than 8 million consumers stopped using their credit cards, in a sign of the nationwide belt-tightening, according to TransUnion, the credit bureau. Millions more borrowers who still have cards have been compelled to pay down their balances, or are more often choosing to use cash.

That has had a big impact on lenders’ bottom lines. Credit cards once gave the banking industry as much as a quarter of its profits; today those profits have all but vanished.

Now that the losses have stabilized, lenders have set out to

Crook Continued from A1 ODFW will help the county identify the sensitive areas that officials believe need protection.

Currently, the county has about 900,000 acres that are protected.

Zelenka said he believes there are more sophisticated methods to determining wildlife habitat.

He believes looking at the process holistically could mean fewer restrictions on landowners.

“We want to look at what works and what doesn’t work.

And how we can accommodate wildlife protection and protect property rights,” Zelenka said.

Sue Talkington, a retired Modesto, Calif., mill worker, is trying to get rid of her credit card debt, which topped out at more than $17,000. Last month, right after she had cut up three credit cards, she received an application for a new low-end Capital One card.

Lending again to the riskiest borrowers After shunning the least creditworthy consumers during the financial crisis, credit card companies have significantly increased their offers to them recently.

revive their card business, and mail offers to once-troubled borrowers are roaring back.

British-based HSBC mailed more than 16 million card offers in the third quarter of this year, Citigroup 14 million and Discover 10 million, all roughly tenfold increases over the same period last year, according to Synovate Mail Monitor, a market research firm. Capital One’s rate rose fiftyfold, to 22 million.

In all, lenders will send about 2.5 billion credit card offers by the end of the year, Synovate estimates, compared with more than 6 billion in 2005, the peak year. The bulk of this year’s mailings is still going to affluent people, with just 17 percent going to borrowers with blemished credit. That compares with about 39 percent in 2007 and a low of 7 percent in late 2009.

Many of the new lower-end cards start with high interest rates and annual fees, because new federal rules limit the ability of lenders to change the terms after payments are missed. Capital One, for example, is offering low-end cards that carry interest rates of 18 percent or higher and annual fees of up to $50.

The response to the card campaigns has been strong, with roughly 4 percent of these riskier borrowers submitting applications. That is about 10 times the typical response rate for the group, though that may be partly explained by the absence of offers over the last two years.

After racking up more than $17,000 in credit card charges, Sue Talkington, 69, a retired saw

Zelenka said that in 1992 Crook County established an 80acre minimum for critical habitat for deer. In Deschutes County, the county established a 40-acre minimum.

“Are we being fair to our people?” Zelenka said. “Should we still be doing that? ... Those are the questions.”

mill worker living in Modesto, Calif., started working with a credit counselor in September to start paying down her debt.

Then, last month, right after she had cut up three credit cards, she received an application for a new low-end Capital One card, the second preapproved mail offer she has received recently.

She says she was stunned.

“I’m trying to get out of debt, so why would I want to have a credit card to get into more debt?” Talkington asked.

“It really shows me how much greed there is out there,” she added. Card issuers “aren’t interested in helping me get back on track with a credit card,” she said. “They just want my money.”

“I’m trying to get out of debt, so why would I want to have a credit card to get into more debt?”

— Sue Talkington

lenders have waited for years to extend credit to borrowers like Talkington who have fallen on hard times — a process sometimes called “rehabilitating the customer.” But these days, rehab is happening faster because the lenders cannot afford to wait.

Citigroup is testing a credit card with training wheels, known as CitiMax, devised for customers whose credit was damaged by the recession.

Borrowers are required to link their credit card account to a checking, savings or brokerage account so that Citi can withdraw money if a payment is missed.

Branch workers for Bank of America and Wells Fargo are steering more customers denied a traditional credit card toward “secured” cards, backed by a deposit that the owner is not permitted to touch.

Wells says that more than a third of secured cardholders receive a traditional credit card after 12 months.

“I graduated, as they call it, to the unsecured,” said Joshua Hoglan, 26, a college student from Las Vegas who says he became a more responsible borrower after making timely payments on a Wells Fargo secured credit card he signed up for in early 2008. He called his graduation “a great relief.”

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Christine O’Donnell’s TV ad declaration “I’m not a witch” during her U.S. Senate campaign topped this year’s best quotes, according to a Yale University librarian.

O’Donnell’s quote is cited by Fred Shapiro, associate librarian at Yale Law School, who released his fifth annual list of the most notable quotations of the year. In the ad, O’Donnell was responding to reports of her revelations that she had dabbled in witchcraft years ago.

“It was such a remarkable, unconventional quote to be a part of the political discourse,” Shapiro said.

The quote by O’Donnell, a tea party favorite running in Delaware, tied for first place with “I’d like my life back,” the lament made in May by BP’s CEO Tony Hayward after the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

“People resented the fact that he was wanting to get back to his yacht races and other aspects of his normal life when those little problems were dwarfed by the magnitude of what people on the Gulf Coast were dealing with,” Shapiro said.

Shapiro noted that the top quotes stemmed from two of the biggest news stories of the year, the oil spill and the emergence of the tea party.

The original Yale Book of Quotations was published in 2006. Since then, Shapiro has released an annual list of the top 10 quotes. He said they will be incorporated into the next edition of the book.

Shapiro picks quotes that are famous, important or revealing of the spirit of the times. The quotes aren’t necessarily the most eloquent or admirable.

O’Donnell, who lost the Senate race to Democrat Chris Coons, also made the list for questioning, during a debate in October, whether the First Amendment includes the language “separation of church and state.”

She was not the only tea party candidate on the list. Sharron Angle, who lost the Senate race in Nevada to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, also made the list.

“I hope that’s not where we’re going, but you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies. They’re saying: My goodness, what can we do to turn this

country around?” Angle said in January.

Republican Sarah Palin’s tweet: “Don’t retreat. Instead — reload!” also made the list.

“The quotes become perhaps stronger, harsher, more unconventional every year,” Shapiro said.

On the Democratic side, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made the list when she spoke in March to the National Association of Counties. “We have to pass the (health care) bill so you can find out what is in it,” Pelosi said.

Venezuelan drivers choose ’70s rides, just ’cause they can

By Simon Romero New York Times News Service

CARACAS, Venezuela — Ascending the narrow streets that wind through this city’s hillside slums, the graffiti steadily gets more radical and anti-American, repeatedly proclaiming “Yankees go home!” amid murals denouncing President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But at the same time, the cars get bigger and more American — as in ’70s-style, gas-guzzling, Starsky-and-Hutch, Ford-GranTorino big — and American.

“We like our cars to be like tanks in this country, meaning they should be huge, comfortable and preferably manufactured in the United States,” said Miguel Delgado, 52, a mechanic in Los Frailes, a slum on this city’s western fringe, where he was working on a 1976 Dodge Coronet and a 1979 Chevrolet Impala.

The survival here of so many retro-chic American gas hogs, from Plymouth Valiants to Dodge Aspens and Chrysler New Yorkers, owes partly to the vagaries of Venezuela’s recent history and partly to its oil wealth. Motorists say that they drive these cars simply because they can. They smile when they hear that gasoline prices in the United States average about $3 a gallon, and much higher in parts of Europe.

Venezuela provides what might be the most generous fuel subsidy anywhere. Gasoline, currently less than 10 cents a gallon, is the cheapest in the world, undercutting even Saudi Arabia and Iran, other top oil-exporting nations, according to a study of global fuel prices by the German aid agency GTZ. While Venezuela is a major oil producer, the subsidy still costs the government more than $9 billion a year. For all his populism, President Hugo Chavez has lamented its drain on public finances, calling gasoline prices “disgusting.”

But he has not touched the subsidy, which many Venezuelans consider a birthright. An increase in fuel prices in 1989 helped set off riots in which hundreds, perhaps thousands, were killed.

Today, filling the tank of a 1974 Lincoln Continental, a 19-footlong monster with a V-8 engine and mileage in the low teens, costs about $1, including a small tip for the gas-station attendant.

Russian protests erupt over soccer fan’s killing New York Times News Service MOSCOW — Ethnic tensions briefly erupted in Moscow over the weekend, as thousands of young men massed outside Red Square, venting their anger over the fatal shooting last week of a soccer fan by a migrant from the North Caucasus.

Julio Navas, a taxi driver, navigates his 1973 Dodge Coronet through traffic in Caracas, Venezuela.

In Venezuela, where gasoline is less than 10 cents a gallon and used cars retain value, big American cars can be economical.

“We like our cars to be like tanks in this country, meaning they should be huge, comfortable and preferably manufactured in the United States.”

— Miguel Delgado, 52, mechanic “It’s a super-economical car,” said Jose Pereira, 41, the proud owner of one such model.

Many of the vintage land yachts tooling around Caracas today were imported during the heyday of “Venezuela Saudita,” Saudi Venezuela, the period in the early 1970s when oil prices quadrupled, and this developing nation became flush with petrodollars.

In the capital’s wealthier districts, SUVs like Jeep Cherokees, Ford Expeditions, even the occasional Hummer, vie for space in clogged thoroughfares with smaller Toyotas, Daewoos, Hondas and Hyundais. Thousands of motorbike couriers weave through the gridlock, adding to the chaos.

Despite the newer cars, the low growl of American guzzlers still cuts through the din of traffic, evoking in some ways the love affair that people in Cuba, Ven-

ezuela’s top ally, have with pre1960 American automobiles.

Some motorists say they buy the cars because spare parts are easily available. Others buy them to hedge against Venezuela’s high inflation. Used cars hold their value remarkably well here: a 1979 Ford LTD Landau, for instance, sells for about $5,200 here compared with about $1,500 in the United States.

Still, the eight-cylinder workhorses remain cheaper than newer models, explaining their prevalence in some poor districts of Caracas and other cities. But the affection for the aging American giants that saves so many of them from the crushers cannot be explained by economics alone.

“I love my Fairlane precisely because it is American,” said Freddy Gomez, 54, a deliveryman in this city’s gritty Boleita district who drives a red 1974 Ford Fairlane. Grinning with a

Saturn’s rings: debris from a cosmic murder

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — One of the solar system’s most evocative mysteries — the origin of Saturn’s rings — may be a case of cosmic murder, new research suggests.

The victim: an unnamed moon of Saturn that disappeared about 4.5 billion years ago.

The suspect: a disk of hydrogen gas that once surrounded Saturn when its dozens of moons were forming, but has now fled the crime scene.

The cause of death: a forced plunge into Saturn.

And those spectacular and colorful rings are the only evidence left.

As the doomed moon made its death spiral, Saturn robbed its outer layer of ice, which then formed rings, according to a new theory published online Sunday in the journal Nature.

“Saturn was an accomplice, and that produced the rings,” said study author Robin Canup, an astronomer at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo.

The mystery of Saturn’s rings “has puzzled people for centuries,” said Cornell astronomer Joe Burns, who wasn’t involved in the study and said Canup’s new theory makes sense.

One of the leading theories has been that either some of Saturn’s many moons crashed into each other, or an asteroid crashed into some of them — leaving debris that formed the rings. The trouble is Saturn’s moons are half ice and half rock, and the planet’s seven rings are now as much as 95 percent ice and probably used to be all ice, Canup said. If the rings were formed by a moonon-moon crash or an asteroidon-moon, there would be more

NASA via The Associated Press

A photo from 2004, taken by the Cassini Saturn Probe, shows Saturn and its rings. A new theory suggests Saturn’s rings are debris from an unnamed moon that disappeared about 4.5 billion years ago. rocks in the rings.

Something had to have stripped away the outer ice of a moon, a big moon, Canup said.

So her theory starts billions of years ago when the planets’ moons were forming. A large disk of hydrogen gas circled Saturn, and that helped both create and destroy moons. Large inner moons probably made regular plunges into the planet, pulled by the disk of gas.

These death spirals took about 10,000 years, and the key to understanding the rings’ origins is what happened to them during that time. According to Canup’s computer model, Saturn stripped the ice away from a huge moon while it was far enough from the planet that the ice would be trapped in a ring.

The original rings were 10 to 100 times larger than they are now, but over time the ice in the outer rings has coalesced into some of Saturn’s tiny inner moons, Canup said. So what began as moons has become rings and then new moons.

This helps explain Tethys, an odd inner moon that didn’t quite fit other moon formation theories, she said. Saturn has 62 moons — 53 of them have names.

New ones are discovered regularly by NASA’s Cassini probe.

But this doesn’t explain rings on other planets in our solar system, such as Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus, which probably formed in a different way, Canup said.

The rings and ice-rich inner moons are the last surviving remnants of this lost moon, “which is pretty neat,” Canup said.

Burns said Canup’s theory explains the heavy ice components of rings better than other possibilities. Larry Esposito, who discovered one of Saturn’s rings, praised the new paper as “a very clever, original idea.”

“I would call it more like cosmic recycling,” Esposito said because the moon became rings which then became moons. “It’s not so much a final demise, but a cosmic effort to reuse materials again and again.”

hint of mischief, he pointed to a decal on the Fairlane’s rear window, which showed a mathematical equation involving the Ford logo plus a bottle of spirits plus a female figure.

The sum: a couple in an amorous embrace.

The rubber-burning days of some of these cars might be nearing an end. News reaching here from Detroit these days speaks of exotic new electric cars like the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf. The announcement that General Motors was pulling the plug on Pontiac, the 84-yearold brand whose sales peaked in 1973, drew gasps among some Venezuelans.

“I find it hard to believe that the Americans would let Pontiac expire like that,” said Oswaldo Valdes, 21, a university student who owns a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix. “In this country, this great automobile has decades of life ahead of it.”

Continued from A1 The Oregon Natural Desert Association is pushing for the additional layers of wilderness protection, which would prohibit motorized vehicles and development, to ensure the area stays in a natural state, Goodman-Campbell said.

“It’s the same argument in my mind as the Badlands,” she said, “in that we can never predict the threats an area is going to face 10, 20, 50 years down the line.”

She has started gathering support for the proposal, talking to Crooked River Ranch homeowners, and holding open houses in the area to hear what people have to say along with their concerns or ideas about the proposal.

One concern that people have brought up is what designating the area a wilderness would mean for wildfire protection in the dry area. Typically, no bulldozers or other heavy machinery are used to fight wildfires in Central Oregon wilderness areas.

But a designation would come with a specific fire management plan that outlined what was allowed and what wasn’t in emergency situations, she said, and how to protect homes nearby.

Goodman-Campbell is also working with others on the possibility of closing some of the roads that currently go into the wilderness area — otherwise, the size of the proposed wilderness area might shrink.

However, the plan currently calls for a road to Alder Springs Trailhead to stay open, with the wilderness boundary on either side, so people can

get to the popular recreation site.

“You start with the big proposal, and then work through people’s concerns,” she said. “If there’s some things we can’t work through, we’ll make changes where we have to.”

The goal, she said, is to build community support for the wilderness proposal, and in a year or so have a plan that people agree on to take to the congressional delegation to ask for its support.

Gabe Parr, spokesman with the Deschutes chapter of Trout Unlimited, said he’s in favor of a wilderness area along the waterways.

“It would be ideal, especially with the reintroduction of salmon and steelhead, to have stretches of the river be protected,” he said.

The area has not been damaged from grazing or developed, he said, so protecting it could keep it pristine for the future.

Deschutes County Commissioner Alan Unger, however, said he wanted to know more before he could support a proposal.

The area is surrounded by development, he said. And sometimes, allowing vehicles into an area can help with restoration efforts at the site — there are other ways to protect places, he said, without the stricter wilderness regulations.

“If the goal is to preserve it as is, wilderness sometimes creates more restrictions than we would want to put in a good management plan,” he said.

Water system, Child care options in the spotlight aerial drones among issues before council DESCHUTES COUNTY

Input from local work force will help officials assess problems, develop solutions

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Finding child care can be one of the more stressful and challenging situations that parents face.

The availability of reliable and affordable child care is also key for employers, so they can retain a good work force.

This winter, Deschutes County

officials hope to learn whether employees, employers and care providers are satisfied with local child care options.

A survey conducted this month and in January will ask employees and bosses from a random sample of large employers in Deschutes County a variety of questions about child care.

The answers will be included in a

report on child care challenges and potential solutions, said Mary Lorence, the early childhood specialist for the Deschutes County Commission on Children and Families.

Lorence said she’s heard conflicting anecdotes about local child care. Parents have told her there is not enough available, while staff at a local nonprofit told her there are

plenty of openings.

“The question then becomes, what is the true problem?” Lorence said.

Busy Bend councilors also plan to tackle possible code change in controversial DMV relocation case

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Bend city councilors will grapple with a number of talking-point issues during their meeting Wednesday, causing them to kick off a work session about 30 minutes before the regular starting time.

Among other things, councilors will discuss unmanned aerial drones, a possible change in direction on a $73 million upgrade to the city’s water system and recommendations that aim to help eliminate a projected $17 million to $27 million budget shortfall. They will also consider making a change in the development code that, had it been in effect four months ago, would have prevented a recent spat over the DMV relocating to a shopping center in southwest Bend.

On Dec. 1, councilors planned to approve giving a letter of support to open up airspace in Central Oregon to allow for test flights of unmanned aerial drones, but they removed the item from the agenda after hearing some complaints from concerned citizens and pilots.

Currently, drones are not allowed to fly in general airspace and usually are only allowed to be tested in restricted military zones or other areas where special certification has been obtained. Economic Development for Central Oregon, however, wants to get the Federal Aviation Administration to open up a drone testing site in Central and Eastern Oregon airspace in an attempt to attract businesses that test the aircraft. The City Council will again consider whether to give support to the plan with a letter to the FAA after discussing the issue more thoroughly on Wednesday.

Councilors will have a chance to revisit another contentious topic involving the $73 million overhaul of the Bridge Creek water system that provides about half of the city’s annual water supply. The city wants to replace about 10 miles of aging pipelines and add a state-of-the-art treatment facility to its current infrastructure that will help it meet federal clean water mandates and protect against forest fire runoff.

‘Storm after storm’ could be in store for Central Oregon

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Central Oregon can expect more rain and snow this week as moisture continues to make its way inland from the Pacific Ocean.

According to the National Weather Service’s Pendleton office, the forecast calls for rain early in the week with a chance of snow showers starting Tuesday night and continuing into the weekend.

“It’s still going to be fairly active weather,” said meteorologist Mary Johnson. “We just have a very active westerly flow off the Pacific, and when you have an active flow off the Pacific, it brings in storm after storm.” She said mid-20 to mid-30-degree temperatures during the week are expected to be slightly below normal, and whether areas get rain or snow will likely depend on elevations.

Starting today, there’s a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with the estimated rainfall between one-tenth and one-quarter of an inch. The rain is expected to continue into Tuesday morning, with snow levels dropping from 4,000 to 3,600 feet.

From Tuesday night through the remainder of the week, it should continue to be cloudy, with a chance of snow every day. Temperatures during this stretch are expected to hover in the mid- to high 20s in the evenings and stay between 35 and 36 degrees during the day.

“It’s really just bands of moisture,” said Johnson about all the rain and snow in the forecast. “That’s really all it is that’s moving across.”

boarding race on Mt. Bachelor this weekend.

Tyler Eklund, left, and Josh Dirksen share a laugh Sunday while preparing to co-host the awards ceremony for the Dirksen Derby at Mt. Bachelor’s West Village Lodge.

Dozens of participants still showed up for the two-day, timed slalom event despite the less than ideal conditions that included torrential rain on Saturday and iffy snowpack on Sunday that made staying upright a little more challenging.

“With the rain it was hectic,” said Josh Dirksen, 34, the race’s organizer. “It was fun seeing if we could have a contest in the worst weather Bachey has to offer.”

He said the rain on Saturday

seemed to be coming in sideways with some strong winds. Not only did this soak many of the participants as they waited to make their runs down two different courses, he said it also caused the timing instruments at the end of the runs to sink into the snow and throw off some of the readings.

While the weather was much better on Sunday, Dirksen said the previous day’s rain made the two runs a little bit more difficult to navigate.

Bear Creek restoration project now waiting on Mother Nature Storms could wipe out results of rehab effort prompted by removal of Gold Ray Dam

By Mark Freeman

CALIFORNIA

N R CIVIL SUITS Cases involving less than $50,000 are subject to mandatory arbitration.

Restoring new banks that have been underwater since the Teddy Roosevelt administration has been a major undertaking since the 106-year-old dam was removed last summer and the impounded water receded, creating a free-flowing stream there.

Filed Nov. 29

The (Medford) Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — Craig Tuss strolls among the logs and rootwads precisely placed in soft sand along the newly sculpted banks of Bear Creek where it meets the Rogue River, and the one thing he knows for sure is it won’t stay this way for long.

When fresh willow shoots sprout and their roots fortify the loose soil in ensuing years, these banks could become textbook examples on how to build a healthy, stable streamside riparian zone from scratch and with native plants.

Or the fragile soils could be washed away in upcoming winter storms that threaten to alter or even undo hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of rehab work to this stretch of the Rogue exposed by the demolition of Gold Ray Dam. “We put the pieces in place, and it’s just waiting for its opportunity to work,” says Tuss, who is overseeing the post-demolition restoration efforts.

“It’s all up to whether they can deal with what nature throws at it.”

Fragile situation Large storms and even minor flood events could be disastrous to Bear Creek’s confluence with the Rogue as well as the mouths of Tolo and Kelly sloughs facing erosion threats for at least the next three winters while the bank-stabilizing structures take hold.

“It’s still a very fragile situation,” Tuss says. “We just need time, and time is either going to be on our side or not.

“At some point this winter, we’ll have to just sit back and see what happens,” he says.

A fresh canvas For stream rehabbers, it was like a fresh canvas and a palette full of all the brushes and colors needed to paint the perfect streambank.

And nowhere did the new portrait need creation than the mouth of Bear Creek.

The unstable banks are threatened by Bear Creek freshets. And both banks of the mouth could collapse under the full force of Rogue flows during even a 10-year flood, the kind of high-water event that has a one in 10 chance of happening any given year.

L.A. seeks to shed image as a haven for homeless

Grass seed sprouting

By Adam Nagourney

Armed with a $507,000 NOAA-Fisheries grant and some money left over from the federal stimulus grant used for dam removal, the Corvallis-based River Design Group went to work.

Computer models helped design a new meander channel for Bear Creek through the newly exposed stream bank. Specificsized rocks were placed in the lower creek to absorb some of the energy of the rushing waters. Big root-wads and timbers, many salvaged from the original timber-crib Gold Ray Dam, were dug into the banks to strengthen loose soils ready for planting.

Grass seed planted in November has just begun sprouting, and fresh willow shoots are in, but not until spring will their soil-stabilizing roots fill in between the logs and root-wads.

“They’re like Tinker Toys that haven’t been fortified yet,” Tuss says. “They could be washed out overnight.”

LOS ANGELES — It was just past dusk in the upscale enclave of Brentwood as a homeless man, wrapped in a tattered gray blanket, stepped into a doorway to escape a light rain, watching the flow of people on their way to the high-end restaurants that lined the street.

Across town in Hollywood the next morning, homeless people were wandering up and down Sunset Boulevard, pushing shopping carts and slumped at bus stops. More homeless men and women could be found shuffling along the boardwalks of Venice and Santa Monica, while a few others were spotted near the heart of Beverly Hills, the very symbol of Los Angeles wealth.

At a time when cities across the country have made significant progress over the past decade in reducing the number of homeless, in no small part by building permanent housing, the problem seems intractable in the County of Los Angeles, stretch-

ing these days from downtown to the Pacific Ocean.

It has become a subject of acute embarrassment to some civic leaders, upset over the county’s faltering efforts, the glaring contrast of street poverty and mansion wealth, and any perception of a hardhearted Los Angeles unmoved by a problem that has motivated action in so many other cities.

For national organizations trying to eradicate homelessness, Los Angeles — with its 48,000 people living on the streets, including 6,000 veterans, according to one count — stands as a

stubborn anomaly, an outlier at a time when there has been progress, albeit modest and at times fitful, in so many cities.

Its designation as the homeless capital of America, a title that people here dislike but do not contest, seems increasingly indisputable.

“If we want to end homelessness in this country, we have to do something about L.A.; it is the biggest nut,” said Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. “It has more homeless people than anyplace else.”

Neil Donovan, the executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, said he believed that, after years of decline, there had been a slight rise in the number of homeless nationally this year because of the economic downturn.

“Los Angeles’ homeless problem is growing faster than the overall national problem,” he said, “trending upward in every demographic, dashing every hope of progress anywhere.”

O Emergency radio network behind schedule, over budget Cost rises from $414M to $600M as officials race to show progress before Legislature convenes The Associated Press PORTLAND — The governor of Oregon should have been celebrating the launch of a lifesaving radio network, but he didn’t: It wasn’t ready yet.

The state is trying to build a system that would put all communications on a single radio system and allow public safety agencies across the state to talk to one another.

Oregon’s emergency radio system is a mess. Radios are old and breaking down; they’ve failed during crises; and they often don’t allow public safety workers to talk to one another in different areas.

Race to show progress Gov. Ted Kulongoski made it a top priority to fix the system, and the Oregon Wireless Interoperability Network was supposed to do that. But the project is about two years behind schedule, and the price has soared from $414 million to nearly $600 million as officials race to show progress before the Legislature convenes in January.

The network’s first major part — a chain of radio towers across Western Oregon mountaintops — was supposed to be done by this month, just before Kulongoski leaves office in January.

But only two of the project’s

towers are under construction.

Meanwhile, the project has new managers who say they are fixing the problems.

The Oregonian, relying on interviews and records, reported that state officials running the project gave misleading information about its costs and progress.

Keep it going?

Records show radio network officials used unsupported estimates of savings and lowballed the price to persuade lawmakers to fund the project. And they repeatedly handed out erroneous maps that greatly exaggerated their progress.

Gov.-elect John Kitzhaber launched the project before leaving office eight years ago.

Kitzhaber is returning for a third term, and he and legislators must decide whether to keep the radio network going as they grapple with a $3.5 billion state budget gap.

If the state were in better economic times, Kulongoski said, the fate of the project wouldn’t be as precarious.

Lawmakers in 2005 called for merging the radio systems of four state agencies: Oregon State Police and the departments of Corrections, Transportation and Forestry. Two years later, Kulongoski’s administra-

State offers few hospital beds for mentally ill adolescents

By Emily Gillespie Corvallis Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — Ann Weston struggled for close to a year with her son’s mental illness. She fought to make his life as normal as possible, maintaining a close relationship. But on Nov. 4, Brandon Stone took his own life, succumbing to the disease that had haunted his family for so long.

“It was a tough road,” Weston said, remembering her 16-yearold son’s diagnosis of severe clinical depression in late 2009.

But at least one part of that road still frustrates Weston, and she’s hoping that by calling attention to the issue, she can help other families. “There are only two hospitals in the entire state that can take adolescent mental health patients for crisis inpatient care,” Weston

said. “That’s 32 beds available.”

Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Providence Medical Center, both in Portland, are the only two care facilities that offer these services, according to the Oregon Department of Human Services. Legacy Emanuel has 17 beds for patients under the age of 18. Providence has 15 beds for adolescents ages 13 to 17, plus 10 beds for children 4 to 12.

“The whole state could use more beds,” said Dr. John Paisley, clinical director of the pediatric inpatient unit at Legacy Emanuel, but funding trends make it hard to pay for them. “It’s very sad to have kids of any age who need psychological help to not have essentially anywhere to go.”

For Weston, the shortage became apparent last spring, when

the Nehalem River flooded their town, but state emergency teams often couldn’t talk to Clatsop County officials: The county’s emergency communication system had been wiped out in the floods.

A month earlier, a family of California tourists got lost on a snowy mountain road in Southern Oregon. The case made national headlines when the father froze to death before his wife and two children were rescued.

Kulongoski wanted National Guard helicopters helping with the search, but he was told it wasn’t safe; too many choppers already were in the cloud-choked skies, and not all their radios could talk to one another.

Kulongoski also knew the state’s radio system was so broken and outdated that technicians had to seek replacement parts on eBay. Kulongoski picked Lindsay Ball, a former Oregon State Police trooper, to champion his plan. In September 2008, Ball persuaded lawmakers to begin funding OWIN’s construction phase by saying he found ways to cut the project’s price from $665 million to $414 million.

But radio network officials can’t document those savings.

Ball said in an interview this month that he did not intend to mislead anyone.

“You’re trying to illustrate that I’m being deceitful to the Legislature,” he said, “and that’s not true.”

O B Police: Theft suspect ran over woman SPRINGFIELD — Police say a Springfield woman was run over by a woman she believed stole her wallet.

The Register-Guard newspaper reported that the victim was at a tavern when she realized her wallet had been taken. She ran outside with her boyfriend to try to catch another couple she believed had taken the wallet.

Police say the victim ran in front of the suspect’s car. Witnesses told police that the car initially stopped, but then sped off, running over both the victim and her boyfriend. The woman is in intensive care with life-threatening head injuries. The boyfriend’s injuries were less severe.

Thirty-year-old Melanie Lorraine Stewart has been charged with robbery, assault, hit and run driving and drunken driving.

Courthouse Square drags down budget SALEM — Fallout from problems at Courthouse Square is taking a big bite out of Marion County’s budget.

The county set aside about $7.6 million and established a Courthouse Square “redevelopment fund” to track expenditures, such as the cost of leasing temporary office space and engineering studies. But the fund doesn’t begin to address the cost of fixing or replacing the building.

John Lattimer, the chief administrative officer for Marion

County, says project costs should be better known in January when engineers are scheduled to release a report outlining options.

The Courthouse Square building and bus mall were closed this summer because of structural problems. All occupants were moved out and the bus mall closed.

Security firm owner jailed in burglary TIGARD — Washington County deputies say a security company owner and two employees have been arrested following a burglary at a church school.

The sheriff’s office says laptops and other electronic devices have been stolen several times this year from Oregon Episcopal School, but there were no signs of forced entry. The church had hired Northwest Merchant Patrol to check the school after hours.

On Saturday, a school employee stayed overnight to watch the patrol.

The school worker spotted the company’s owner, 27-year-old Stirling Anderson, of Wilsonville, and one of his employees, 21-yearold Sheldon McMillan, of Beaverton, leaving with what appeared to be stolen property. Deputies then arrested Anderson, McMillan and a third security firm employee, 39-year-old David Smith, of Wilsonville, for investigation of burglary and theft.

“I was adamant and insistent about inpatient treatment,” said Weston. “Not many parents could have stood their ground like she did,” said her partner, Rick Humphrey. Both times, Weston said, she found emergency room doctors and other staff members uncertain about the proper protocol to follow.

Water diversion plan is off course

T

he WaterWatch torture has officially begun.

The city of Bend is determined — and we mean deter-

mined — to plow ahead with an enormously expensive proj-

ect that will allow the continued diversion of water that otherwise would end up in Tumalo Creek and, eventually, the Deschutes River.

A number of prominent Bend residents have urged the city to leave the creek alone and drill more wells to make up the difference. But most city officials, elected and otherwise, simply aren’t interested.

They point to the cost of pumping well water, which the city currently avoids by piping surface water. They argue that two water sources provide greater security than one, though the aquifer that supplies Bend’s groundwater is massive. Meanwhile, as legacy projects go, drilling more wells simply doesn’t have the cachet of building pipelines, diversions, filtration plants and whatnot.

So City Council has decided, in essence, to ignore the critics and forge ahead, presumably hoping that the controversy will fizzle as the surface water project gains momentum. WaterWatch, a Portland-based environmental group focused on restoring surface water flows, isn’t so easily discouraged.

On Wednesday, the group blew the whistle on the city’s existing surface water system. The letter noted that Bend currently diverts more water from Bridge Creek than it actually uses, returning the excess to Tumalo Creek several miles downstream.

Though the city has a right to take the water, the law requires it to use what it takes. The law doesn’t allow the city to give a portion of Bridge Creek a joyride in its pipeline, as is now the case, without doing anything useful with it.

WaterWatch’s letter urges the state to shut down Bend’s surface water diversion until the city finds a way to divert only what it needs. This shouldn’t cause any significant problems, WaterWatch argues, because the city “has ample groundwater rights to serve its

existing needs.” A footnote points out that the city’s existing groundwater capacity substantially exceeds its peak one-day demand in 2010. Moreover, the city holds groundwater permits that exceed its ample groundwater capacity by more than 40 percent.

We doubt the state will take the draconian step WaterWatch proposes, but Bend’s leaders should be plenty nervous anyway. WaterWatch has served notice not only that it intends to follow Bend’s project very closely, but also that it won’t hesitate to intervene.

Though we’ve had our differences with WaterWatch over the years, we share the group’s concerns in this case.

Last month, WaterWatch policy analyst Kimberley Priestly urged City Council “to take a harder look at moving to groundwater.” The city, she argued, “is in a unique position of holding surface water rights that it could transfer or lease instream, providing the city with a virtually no-cost mitigation obligation.” In other words, it would be both environmentally beneficial and bureaucratically feasible for the city to swap its surface water for groundwater.

Moreover, doing as WaterWatch and others recommend would be consistent with a long-standing regional push to increase surface water flows, a push that has consumed millions of public dollars already. To pass up such an opportunity, as Bend is determined to do, is strange, to say the least.

As long as Bend officials stick with their current course, they should expect to hear quite a bit more from WaterWatch in the coming years. They should expect to hear more from their constituents, too, as the city’s legal bills mount. This is one controversy that isn’t about to go away.

Value of simple tax code

P

resident Barack Obama apparently recognizes something that Oregon’s junior senator, Jeff Merkley, does not. The more complex the nation’s tax code, the less money you raise for your effort. Thus, while Obama is hinting at an overhaul of the U.S. code, Merkley wants to muddy the tax waters further by diverting some income taxes to Social Security.

Obama’s push for simplification is in the earliest stage. He has mentioned it publicly but has not committed even to proceeding from there. He has yet to identify what he would change or how he would go about making those changes.

Serious simplification of the code was a part of the plan put forward by Obama’s deficit reduction commission recently, and the reaction to it makes clear any serious changes won’t be a slam dunk. Flattening taxes — reducing rates and the number of rates — while growing revenue relies on getting rid of loopholes. And one man’s loophole is another’s deduction for

a home mortgage or something else equally dear to the heart.

Yet a flatter tax done right not only raises the amount the government collects, but it’s good for business.

According to The New York Times, American businesses are worried that the high rates they pay and the cost of complying with the current complicated system are making them less competitive in the world market.

Now compare Obama’s willingness to simplify with Merkley’s latest.

Rather than simplify, Merkley wants to end Bush-era tax cuts on those making more than $1 million and direct the money thus collected to the Social Security trust fund. Doing so, he says, will fill any gaps in the fund created by the president’s proposed two-year reduction in payroll taxes. It also takes an impossibly complicated system and makes it more so, not less.

We don’t know what an Obama taxcode rewrite will look like. We do know, however, that simpler is surely better.

Six months later, a new flag will rise, a new anthem will be played. It is a rare, risky, deeply American enterprise: midwifing the birth of a new nation.

Even six years ago, this outcome seemed impossible. The mainly Muslim north and the mainly Christian south were engaged in a two-decade civil war that unleashed genocide, produced millions of refugees and took about three times as many lives as the American Civil War. But in 2005, the Bush administration brokered the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which created a government of national unity and promised an independence referendum for the south in 2011.

Even six months ago, the implementation of the CPA seemed unlikely.

Electoral abuses in local contests had widened bitter, sometimes violent, divisions within the south. And Obama administration policy on Sudan was uncoordinated, ineffective and widely criticized.

But the summer of 2010 was a turning point. The administration was sobered by a prospect of a referendum in less than 200 days for which no one was prepared. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been pushing to elevate the issue to the presidential level, demanding, according to one official, “one team, one fight.” In August, President Obama declared that Denis McDonough, then the chief of staff on the National Security Council and now deputy national security adviser, would

T

MICHAEL GERSON coordinate a unified government response. The administration’s common approach, dubbed “the road map,” publicly promised the regime in Khartoum a series of carrots — reviewing its status on the state sponsors of terrorism list, beginning the lifting of sanctions and starting discussions on debt relief — in exchange for allowing the south to go quietly. Sen. John Kerry carried messages and applied pressure in both Khartoum and the southern capital of Juba. It was an effective full-court press.

Southern leaders rose to the moment, encouraging an internal dialogue that has reduced the level of conflict and violence in the south. And elements of the regime in Khartoum seem prepared for sullen acceptance of southern independence, calculating that the road map might lessen Sudan’s isolation as a pariah state, and probably convinced that military re-conquest of the south is not an option anyway.

Every diplomatic achievement is rewarded by new complexities. Between the independence referendum in January and full independence on July 9, 2011, a variety of issues — concerning borders, citizenship, security and the distribution of oil revenues — will need to be resolved. This will be a highstakes, trust-building exercise between two powers more accustomed to war.

South Sudan will require considerable help to avoid the fate of a failed state — particularly to build its capacity to govern and fight corruption. The issue

of what to do with southern refugees in the north — there are between 1.5 million and 2 million — will be especially sensitive. It would be easy for these refugees to become hostages. And another Sudanese region in revolt — Darfur in the west — remains a muddle of open warfare and fragile negotiations, in which civilians continue to suffer.

But even partial diplomatic successes are worth celebrating — and this is less partial than most. Assuming the last lap of a long race is completed, southern independence will allow these long-suffering people to govern and defend themselves — a development that remains satisfying to a revolutionary power such as America. And southern sovereignty will permanently limit the ability of Khartoum to do harm in a vast region it has harmed for too long.

This success also represents the bipartisan continuity of American foreign policy — a peace process launched in one administration and continued by another.

The most timely message sent by this achievement concerns the nature of the diplomatic task. It was the intention of recent WikiLeaks disclosures to reveal the names of American diplomats and expose their malign influence in the world. Well, here is a leak of my own. People such as McDonough, Michelle Gavin and Samantha Powers in the White House, along with Johnnie Carson, Scott Gration and Princeton Lyman at the State Department, are employing American power to noble purpose. I mention their names (none of them secret) because they represent how skilled, effective government officials can shape history, improve the lives of millions and bring honor to the country they serve.

Obama has engineered another stimulus and made fools of GOP WASHINGTON — arack Obama won the great taxcut showdown of 2010 — and House Democrats don’t have a clue that he did. In the deal struck this week, the president negotiated the biggest stimulus in American history, larger than his $814 billion 2009 stimulus package. It will pump a trillion borrowed Chinese dollars into the U.S. economy over the next two years — which just happen to be the two years of the run-up to the next presidential election. This is a defeat?

If Obama had asked for a second stimulus directly, he would have been laughed out of town. Stimulus I was so reviled that the Democrats banished the word from their lexicon throughout the 2010 campaign. And yet, despite a very weak postelection hand, Obama got the Republicans to offer to increase spending and cut taxes by $990 billion over two years — $630 billion of it above and beyond extension of the Bush tax cuts.

No mean achievement. After all, these are the same Republicans who spent 2010

B

running on limited government and reducing debt. And this budget busting occurs less than a week after the president’s deficit commission had supposedly signaled a new national consensus of austerity and frugality.

Some Republicans are crowing that Stimulus II is the Republican way — mostly tax cuts — rather than the Democrats’ spending orgy of Stimulus I. That’s consolation? This just means that Republicans are two years too late. Stimulus II will still blow another near-$1 trillion hole in the budget.

At great cost that will have to be paid after this newest free lunch, the package will add as much as 1 percent to GDP and lower the unemployment rate by about 1.5 percentage points. That could easily be the difference between victory and defeat in 2012.

Obama is no fool. While getting Republicans to boost his own re-election chances, he gets them to make a mockery of their newfound, second-chance, post-Bush, tea-party, this-time-we’re-

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER serious persona of debt-averse fiscal responsibility.

And he gets all this in return for what?

For a mere two-year postponement of a mere 4.6-point increase in marginal tax rates for upper incomes. And an estate tax rate of 35 percent — it jumps insanely from zero to 55 percent on Jan. 1 — that is somewhat lower than what the Democrats wanted.

No, cries the left: Obama violated a sacred principle. A 39.6 percent tax rate versus 35 percent is a principle? “This is the public option debate all over again,” said Obama at his Tuesday news conference.

He is right. The left never understood that to nationalize health care there is no need

for a public option because Obamacare turns the private insurers into public utilities. The left is similarly clueless on the tax cut deal: In exchange for temporarily forgoing a small rise in upper-income rates, Obama pulled out of a hat a massive new stimulus — what the left has been begging for since the failure of Stimulus I, but was heretofore politically unattainable.

Obama’s public exasperation with this infantile leftism is both perfectly understandable and politically adept. It is his way back to at least the appearance of centrist moderation. The only way he will get a second look from the independents who elected him in 2008 — and abandoned the Democrats in 2010 — is by changing the prevailing (and correct) perception that he is a man of the left.

Hence that news-conference attack on what the administration calls the “professional left” for its combination of sanctimony and myopia. It was Obama’s Sister Souljah moment. It had a prickly, irritated sincerity — their ideological stupidity

and inability to see the “long game” really do get under Obama’s skin — but a decidedly calculated quality, too. Where, after all, does the left go? Stay home on Election Day 2012? Vote Republican?

No, says the current buzz, the left will instead challenge Obama for the Democratic nomination. Really now? For decades, African-Americans have been this party’s most loyal constituency. They vote 9-1 Democratic through hell and high water, through impeachment and recession, through everything. After four centuries of enduring much, African-Americans finally see one of their own achieve the presidency. And their own party is going to deny him a shot at his own re-election?

Not even Democrats are that stupid.

The remaining question is whether they are just stupid enough to not understand — and therefore vote down — the swindle of the year just pulled off by their own president.

O Beth Straus helped guide revamp of botanical garden

By Bruce Weber New York Times News Service

Beth Straus, who was a transformative figure at the New York Botanical Garden for nearly a half century, helping to revamp its image from that of a public park to that of a museum and fostering one of its crown jewels, the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, died Dec. 6 at her home in Somesville, Maine. She was 94.

Her death was confirmed by her daughter, Sara Straus Byruck.

Straus, whose twin passions were horticulture and modern art, spent decades on the boards of both the Botanical Garden and the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

A native of San Francisco, she came to New York City with her husband, Donald Straus, a scion of the family that owned Macy’s department store, in the 1940s.

She started at the Botanical Garden, in the Bronx, as a volunteer, mounting specimens in the herbarium.

An expert gardener and horticulturist, Straus joined the board in 1966 and went on to

recruit people who would be instrumental in the garden’s transformation. They included the philanthropist Enid Haupt, whose donations before her death in 2005 totaled in the tens of millions; the designer Lynden Miller, who created and oversees the garden’s half-acre perennial garden; and the current president, Gregory Long, appointed in 1989. Since then, the number of visitors to the garden each year has increased to approximately 800,000 from 300,000.

In the mid-1980s, as chairwoman of the horticulture committee, Straus came upon design drawings by Beatrix Jones Farrand for the Botanical Garden’s original rose garden, which was built in 1916 but without some architectural elements of Farrand’s plan, including an iron latticework enclosure.

Straus envisioned a reconstructed, more glorious garden and persuaded David Rockefeller to donate $1 million for the project. Named for his wife, Peggy, the rose garden opened in 1988 and was renovated in 2006 and 2007.

Peter Marzio led facility to major-museum status

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Peter Marzio, who as the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston for nearly 30 years elevated it to major-museum status through an ambitious program of physical expansion and a commitment to Latin American, Hispanic and Asian art, died Thursday in Houston. He was 67.

The cause was cancer, Mary Haus, a spokeswoman for the museum, said.

Derby Continued from B1 This caused some people to change how they rode down the hill, so they wouldn’t fall and ruin their times.

“It’s more about surviving the two courses,” Dirksen said.

The Dirksen Derby is modeled after the Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom in Washington. Dirksen said his contest is much smaller and really doesn’t compare to the Mt. Baker event, which in February will celebrate its 26th year.

Two banked slalom courses were built for the Dirksen Derby, and the typical runs lasted about 30 seconds. Winners were determined based on their combined times on the two runs.

Dirksen created the derby as a fundraising event for his friend Tyler Eklund, of Bend, who was paralyzed after a snowboarding accident in California about four years ago. All the proceeds from registration for the race go to helping pay for Eklund’s medical bills and continued care.

For many people who raced in the derby, they said it was gratifying to know that their registration fees were going to help Eklund. This was also true for the participants who didn’t know the 18-year-old before the derby.

“It wasn’t hard to get talked into it,” said 26-year-old Hannah Noll, who moved to Bend from Colorado. “I thought it would be fun, and it is fun.”

Noll competed in the race on Saturday and said she normally wouldn’t have tried to brave the

Child care Continued from B1 The survey will be paid for with a portion of the $25,000 that Deschutes County Commissioners set aside this year, to help solve child care issues that impede economic development.

Deschutes County Commissioner Alan Unger said he

“It’s just mind-blowing.

It almost leaves you speechless because it shows how much people care and how much people want to help out.”

— Tyler Eklund, about the Dirksen Derby rain, but because it was for a good cause, she decided that getting a little wet wasn’t that big of a deal.

She said it was especially nice when she had a chance to see Eklund participate in a biski race event, where another skier guided him down the two courses.

“I feel bad for him because he missed out on a lot,” Noll said.

“So I feel good when I see him up here in his sit-ski because he still gets to come up here.”

Eklund was paralyzed from the neck down in April 2007 when he fell during a practice run at the USA Snowboard Association National Championships in Truckee, Calif. The fall broke vertebrae in his neck, and he now has to breathe through a ventilator.

But that hasn’t stopped him from making it to the mountain a couple of times a year to go skiing. And the Dirksen Derby gives him the chance to see a lot of the people he once used to ride with.

“Just getting up there again is super fun,” Eklund said. “It feels

brought forward the idea because he wants to develop better child care alternatives for people.

“When we end up needing an expanded work force, child care will be a big issue for us like it was in the past, when we had a low unemployment rate,” Unger said Friday. “And when you look at families that are distressed, many of them have both parents

Marzio became the director of the Houston museum in 1982, after serving as the director and chief executive of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington.

He proved to be a dynamic force, equally adept at raising money, attracting important donations and identifying new artistic territory for the museum

like I’m back with the snowboarding community.”

Eklund rode in the derby on a new sit-ski he got last year. Like everyone else in the race, he fought the blustery conditions until he was able to get in his two runs on the course.

Seeing the number of people who participated in the derby means a lot to Eklund, and he said he truly appreciates the support.

“It’s just mind-blowing,” Eklund said. “It almost leaves you speechless because it shows how much people care and how much people want to help out.”

Dirksen said Eklund will take home a first-place trophy for his derby runs. He added that it’s nice to be able to treat the event as a race since Eklund was such a competitor before his accident.

And even though the weather wasn’t perfect, Dirksen said it will probably make it a more memorable event for everyone who participated.

He also said the success of the derby isn’t measured by the little slips or snags in the operation.

He said there’s really only one measurement of a good derby, and that’s whether Eklund has had a good time.

“We’re doing this for Tyler, so this is just a chance for him to forget all the other stuff and do all the cool stuff, the fun stuff,” Dirksen said. “That’s kind of our ultimate goal is to stoke him out because if we do that, everything else just kind of falls into place.”

to explore in its exhibitions and acquisitions.

Under his leadership, the museum added a sculpture garden designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1986; a center devoted to European decorative arts on a 4½-acre estate donated by Harris Masterson III and his wife, Carroll Sterling Masterson, in 1991; and the Audrey Jones Beck Building, designed by Rafael Moneo, in 2000, to house much of its permanent collection.

The museum, which was founded in 1900, received several important donations while Marzio was director, notably Alfred Glassell’s collection of African, pre-Columbian and Indonesian gold; Beck’s gift of 46 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings; and the oil heiress Caroline Wiess Law’s bequest of more than $400 million and works by de Kooning, Picasso, Arshile Gorky and others.

Council Continued from B1 Part of that plan also includes the possibility of installing a hydropower plant to generate revenues to offset the costs.

The project is considered one of the largest undertakings in the city’s history. But at least one group of people, which includes Bend attorney Bill Buchanan and Old Mill developer Bill Smith, believes the project is too expensive and could have adverse impacts on Tumalo Creek water flows.

This group came up with its own proposal to switch to an allwell-based system that would eliminate the need for Bridge Creek water and would rely on Central Oregon’s robust groundwater aquifer. According to the group’s proposal, this could be done for about $60 million less than the city’s current project.

Buchanan and others will meet with the city’s infrastructure committee today to discuss this proposal, and councilors will follow up during their Wednesday meeting.

City officials and some councilors have discounted abandoning the Bridge Creek system because they like having two sources of water and because it reduces energy costs, since it flows by gravity and doesn’t require as much money for pumping.

Innovations, changes Marzio was intent on diversifying and expanding the museum’s commitment to artists outside the European and North American mainstream. He created new departments of Asian and Latin American art and established a new research institution, the International Center for the Arts of the Americas.

Although his name inevitably appeared on the short list of candidates when vacancies appeared at top museums in other cities, Marzio stayed put in Houston. Under his leadership, the museum’s attendance increased to 1.6 million visitors annually from 300,000; the operating budget to $52 million from $5 million; and the endowment to more than $1 billion from $25 million.

The museum’s permanent collection more than tripled in size, to 63,000 works from 20,000.

Because most of this shortfall is a result of funding police and fire services, a committee was formed to take a look at ways to reduce some of those costs.

The committee’s plan, which aims to cut about $15 million between 2012 and 2016 through various strategies, would include reductions in employee wages and benefits, delays in hiring police officers and firefighters, and reducing the general fund subsidies to departments like street maintenance and community development.

Code change?

Budget shortfall

As far as the DMV is concerned, the council will consider making a change that would not allow large government uses in commercial convenience zoning districts that are designed to serve neighboring residential areas.

The DMV planned to move its offices into one of these zones at a shopping center in southwest Bend in August, setting off a firestorm of complaints from the surrounding neighborhood. When residents complained to the city, councilors told them there was nothing they could do because the government office was technically allowed in that zoning district.

Since then, the Bend Planning Commission made a change to the development code that councilors will consider Wednesday, and the DMV has backed out of its lease with the shopping center and will look for a new location.

Councilors will also have a chance to look at recommendations that would allow the city to cut into its general fund shortfall.

John Fenn, who shared the 2002 Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing a technique that sped up the development of new drugs and the study of the molecules of life, died Friday in Richmond, Va. He was 93.

A spokeswoman for Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, where Fenn was a professor of chemistry, confirmed Fenn’s death but did not provide information about its cause or his survivors.

Fenn was in his 70s when he published the research that won the Nobel Prize, focusing on a new way to identify and map proteins, carbohydrates, DNA and other large biological molecules. He shared the prize with Koichi Tanaka, an engineer in Kyoto, Japan, and Kurt Wuethrich, a professor of biophysics in Zurich, who worked independently on related protein research.

Fenn improved a technique known as mass spectrometry, which identifies molecules like proteins by how quickly they are accelerated in an electric field. Using his approach, biologists can now identify molecules in a matter of seconds rather than weeks, speeding up research on new drugs.

The techniques have helped create a new field of biology, proteomics, in which scientists are trying to catalog the interplay of hundreds of thousands of proteins in human cells.

“The possibility of analyzing proteins in detail has led to increased understanding of the processes of life,” the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences said in its citation for the 2002 prize.

Twitter unfollowing service develops prime following TECH FOCUS

Who Unfollowed Me?, created by Bend developer, is up for an industry award

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Attention tweeps Who Unfollowed Me? at http:// who.unfollowed .me/

As more people start using the social media website Twitter — there were 175 million registered users as of Sept. 14, the site reports — software offshoots that enhance usage are multiplying.

Indeed, there is a community of people in Central Oregon who designs such software, just as others here develop iPad and iPhone applications, said Ruth Lindley, marketing manager at Economic Development for Central Oregon.

Local Web developer Collin Robinson is in the running for a Mashable award for Best Social Media Management Tool for a Twitter app he created called Who Unfollowed Me? The app lets Twitter users, or tweeps, keep track of which other tweeps stop following them.

One developer of Twitter applications, or apps, in Central Oregon is 31-year-old Collin Robinson. He has been attracting national attention in the past few weeks, as one of his creations is up for a major industry award.

THE COMPOST PILE

From food waste to farm

vegetables Recycling program at Bend’s Old Mill easy for restaurants, good for farmers

By Renee Schoof McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Scientists searching the Amazon have discovered new species — creatures such as a bald-headed parrot, a blue-fanged tarantula and a bright red catfish — at the rate of about one every three days for the past 10 years, the World Wildlife Fund reported recently.

“What we say now, and we’re very conservative, is one in 10 known species is found in the Amazon,” said Meg Symington, a tropical ecologist and the fund’s managing director for the Amazon. “We think when all the counting is done, the Amazon could account for up to 30 percent of the species on Earth.”

ore than a year after three restaurants in Bend’s Old Mill District started collecting food waste so that Fields Farm could turn it into fertilizer, the restaurants are still sending off compost material by the bucketful.

And the Old Mill is hoping to add more restaurants to the composting effort in 2011, said Noelle Fredland, Old Mill marketing manager.

“We’re very much looking forward to having the program expand,” she said.

MARTIALIS HEUREKA The “Ant from Mars,” a new species of blind, subterranean, predatory ant was described from the Brazilian Amazon in 2008. It belongs to the first new genus of living ants discovered since 1923, and is likely to be a direct descendant of one of the very first ants to evolve on Earth, over 120 million years ago.

Employees collect food scraps, seen here, at Café Yumm! in 5-gallon buckets, and the food is turned into compost at a local farm.

Currently, Café Yumm!, Pastini Pasteria and Strictly Organic Coffee Co. are participating. Employees put food waste and coffee grounds in 5-gallon buckets, and empty the buckets into a larger bin by the recycling and trash receptacles. Twice a week, someone from Bend’s Fields Farm picks up the material and takes it back to the farm where it is composted and turned into a fertilizer, which helps grow the vegetables sold at local farmers markets.

“We’re always looking for new and different ways to push sustainability,” Fredland said, “And it’s an important thing for us to do as a community, and it’s an important thing for us to do as a business.”

Karli Foster, co-owner and general manager of Café Yumm! in the Old Mill District, tosses lettuce scraps into a bucket containing food waste. The restaurant has several buckets around its kitchen, and every week someone from Fields Farm in Bend collects the waste for composting. It is later turned into fertilizer.

EPHEBOPUS CYANOGNATHUS The blue-fanged tarantula, a remarkable-looking spider was discovered in French Guiana in 2000.

The species is entirely brown except for two vivid blue fangs.

Lost keys give thieves easy access to house Dear Abby: About a month ago, my friend lost her keys in a major department store. Despite announcements in the store, the keys were never found. My friend wasn’t worried because she had her wallet and personal information in her purse.

Two weeks later, her home was robbed. There was no sign of forced entry. What we learned from the police is that the little tags we carry on our key chains from major pharmacy and supermarket chains carry our names on the receipts. All the person who found the keys had to do was purchase something, swipe the card, and the receipt came up with my friend’s name printed on it! Unfortunately, her name is listed in the phone book, so the thief was able to find her house, use her house key, walk right in and take whatever he/she wanted.

I no longer keep the tags on my key chain. I keep them in a separate place in my purse or in my pocket. I hope this keeps at least one person from being robbed.

— Karen in Methuen, Mass.

Dear Karen: So do I, and thank you for the warning. For those who prefer not to carry those little tags at all, many are linked with the shopper’s telephone number in the pharmacy’s or supermarket’s computer. If you mention it before the cashier starts ringing up your purchase, the sale can be rung up as part of the saver’s program. Inquire at the stores where you shop regularly.

Dear Abby: Five years ago, when my niece was 9, we came up with the idea of making Christmas cards and sending them out to special friends and family members. We both work hard to make sure each is attractive and in good taste, and we handwrite a personal note inside.

We also print on the back that the card was “handmade with love.”

This has become a tradition for the two of us, and the cards are quite beautiful.

DEAR ABBY

1950s Miami Beach will be setting for latest period drama cable series

By Hannah Sampson

Last year, after we sent them out, I received a card from a friend with a small check inside. The card read, “I’m sending you this check so you can afford to buy ‘real cards’ next year.” I was, to say the least, hurt and offended. I wondered if others felt similarly, so I asked around and was shocked to learn they, too, thought I was “cheap.” Although it cost more money and time to create each card, no one appreciated them.

We won’t be making the cards this year, but how do I tell my niece why? I don’t want her feelings hurt, too.

— Blue at Christmas Dear Blue: Tell your niece what you were told — and by whom — so she won’t waste any more effort on these rude and unappreciative individuals. Better she hear it from you than one of the recipients. As to the “friend” who sent the check, I hope you returned it and deleted her from your Christmas card list. What she did was uncalled for.

Dear Abby: I am 13 and I have a problem. My mother gave me $20 so I could go Christmas shopping, but I forgot I was Christmas shopping and ended up buying everything for myself. Now what do I do, because she’s really mad.

— In Trouble in Michigan Dear In Trouble: Apologize to your mother, admit what happened wasn’t a memory lapse as much as yielding to temptation, and start doing whatever you can to earn more money. Some suggestions: shoveling sidewalks and driveways and dog walking, if the neighbors will let you.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

MIAMI — Atlantic City has HBO’s Prohibition-era “Boardwalk Empire.” 1960s Manhattan has “Mad Men” on AMC. Now Miami Beach will have its own starring role in a period drama.

“Magic City,” a series set in a fictional Miami Beach hotel in the late 1950s — when the Rat Pack played and Fidel Castro took power in Cuba — got the green light this week for 10 episodes from Starz Entertainment.

Casting is set to start soon, and production will begin in 2011, though it’s still unclear how much, if any, of the series will be filmed in Miami. The show is set to air on the Starz cable channel in 2012.

Writer and producer Mitch Glazer is intimately familiar with the subject matter: Growing up in Miami Beach in the 1950s and ’60s, he accompanied his engineer father to work at the area’s most glamorous hotels, including the Fontainebleau, Eden Roc, Deauville and Carillon.

Glazer, a 1970 Miami Beach High grad and one-time Deauville cabana boy, said he remains obsessed with the era.

“So much that ended up shaping America — politics, pop culture, everything from civil rights to geopolitical situations — came through the lobby of those hotels,” he said.

Glazer said the show’s hotel is inspired by the architecture of Morris Lapidus, who fashioned

“It’s one of the heydays of the beach, with the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc. It was just on the world’s map at that time.”

— Paul George, Miami historian, about the 1950s era in which the new show “Magic City” takes place the Eden Roc and Fontainebleau. He said he would love to shoot the entire series in Miami, but Starz said it is in talks with several locations, including some outside the state.

“It’s a love letter to the city and that would be the dream, to do it down there,” said Glazer, who wrote several films, including “Scrooged” and “Great Expectations.”

Producers have applied for and received confirmation that they would get state incentive money to shoot the series in Florida, according to MiamiDade film offices.

Tallahassee recently increased production subsidies from about $11 million a year to about $50 million a year to draw more business to the state.

Local film officials hope this week’s announcement from Starz — which has ventured into original programming over the past few years — signals a boom for scripted television series in Miami.

News of the “Magic City” order follows word just weeks ago that ABC wants to revive the “Charlie’s Angels” series, with a pilot to be filmed in Miami next year.

With USA’s drama “Burn No-

tice” shooting its fifth season next spring in Miami-Dade and A&E crime series “The Glades” expected to shoot its second season in Dade and Broward next year, the area is eager for more television close-ups.

Jeff Peel, head of the MiamiDade office of film and entertainment, said having even two scripted series shooting in the region was a big deal.

“If we have four, man, this town is going to be hopping,” he said.

“Burn Notice,” for example, spends about $2 million an episode — and Peel said a period drama like “Magic City” would likely pump more into the economy.

“Assuming that all of this stuff actually shows up here, we’re going to be bursting at the seams,” Peel said. “Everyone who wants to be working in this industry who’s qualified will be able to work.”

If “Magic City” shoots in some other city, it wouldn’t be a first for a Miami-themed show: “CSI: Miami” and “Dexter” both are filmed in Los Angeles.

But Graham Winick, head of the Miami Beach film office, said negotiations about the show have been positive for

South Florida. He said the success of hits like “Burn Notice” and reality shows filmed in Miami show the popularity of the destination.

“It speaks volumes to where Miami is as a brand in television and what viewers want to see, which is Miami,” Winick said. “That’s wonderful for us.

It’ll help us as we move out of the economic state we’re in.”

The beach was enjoying headier times during the era when the show is set, said local historian Paul George.

“It’s one of the heydays of the beach, with the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc,” George said.

“It was just on the world’s map at that time.”

But as Frank Sinatra crooned and the wealthy gathered at the region’s finest hotels, a darker side of Miami Beach existed under the glossy surface. The show will touch on drugs, strippers, gangsters, racial tension and global unrest as seen through the prism of the Miramar Hotel and its boss, Ike Evans.

“My fantasy is of it being like Rick’s Cafe in ‘Casablanca,’ where all roads lead to and through the Miramar,” Glazer said.

The Rockettes practice high kicks at a rehearsal for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade last month at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City.

Radio City Music Hall’s Rockettes get a leg up during Christmas tour

By Donald Munro McClatchy-Tribune News Service

FRESNO, Calif. — Let’s face it.

Rockettes stand out.

Vanessa McMahan was hanging out Tuesday in the lobby of her San Jose hotel when a group of men came up and said hi.

“They kind of figured I was a Rockette,” McMahan says.

Of course, someone tipped the guys off that a group of the worldfamous dancers was staying in the hotel as part of the touring “Radio City Christmas Spectacular.” But once the word was out, it didn’t take long to single out the tall, leggy dancers in the bunch.

McMahan is used to the attention.

“People’s eyes light up,” she says. “It’s a great conversation starter.”

The phone conversation she’s having this morning is all about plugging the Christmas show, an arena-stage extravaganza that includes a double-decker bus, a 25-by-65-foot LED screen, 16 ensemble members, eight singers, six children and, of course, lots of face time with Santa.

Plus the main attraction: 18 Rockettes, or, as McMahan puts it, “36 legs.”

The tour is visiting 19 cities for a total of 81 shows.

One of her favorite parts of the performance is the appearance of the double-decker bus — “ridden” on by all the Rockettes — which in conjunction with the giant LED screen gives the illusion of driving through holiday scenes of New York.

The show includes the “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers” and the “Living Nativity” scenes both of which have been part of the original Radio City holiday show since they were first performed in 1933.

Without a doubt, the most fa-

mous move by the dancers is the “eye-high” kick — that iconic image of the women in a single line strutting their stuff in perfect synchronicity. They perform 300 eyehigh kicks in each show totaling 437,400 eye-high kicks during the tour. (Isn’t it amazing what sort of fun facts publicists send out? How about this one: Twelve hundred pairs of tights adorn the Rockettes’ world-famous legs during the 19-city run!)

There are a few tricks to make the eye-high kick routine easier to pull off. The women line up by height, with the tallest in the middle. The most important thing to remember, McMahan says, is the dancers aren’t kicking as high as they can. (“We could all kick much higher,” she says with the slightly smug assurance of a professional baseball player who knows he could hit 10 home runs during batting practice.) The key is for everyone to kick at exactly the same height to create an illusion of uniformity.

McMahan has had a lot of opportunities to perfect her technique. She moved from her hometown of Kansas City, Mo. to New York — this was in the days before the show’s national tour, so she’d only seen the Rockettes on TV — and stood in front of Radio City with hundreds of women auditioning for a few coveted positions in the company. After four auditions, she landed a spot in 2003. Among the highlights of her Rockette career: performing at the Tony Awards with Hugh Jackman and at the 2004 presidential inauguration.

Through it all, she says, she’s had a blast. She has no problem with another important requirement of the job: smiling.

“Your cheeks do hurt,” she says, “but you’re used to it.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 13, 2010: This year, expect surprises, and you might not be surprised! You will feel more optimistic and positive about your personal and domestic life than you have in years. Some of you might be purchasing new homes. If you are single, spring 2011 could present a tantalizing relationship. Only you can determine its significance to you. If you are attached, you might be adding to your family, be it just a pet or adding new fun to your already exciting relationship. Plan a trip as a couple. Use care with your finances, as although you feel you are on solid ground, often there might be disruption and major expenses.

Be aware, and you will be one step ahead. PISCES can be a drain.

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 Understanding others’ motives could be a full-time job. If someone’s behavior is weird or off, why not just ask this person what is going on? Understanding your own motives could be more important.

Avoid a clash of the titans. Tonight: Take a serious look at your reactions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on possibilities rather than problems. You will lighten up considerably. Many unexpected developments could toss you off a preordained path.

Stretch to see beyond the obvious.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH How you see a situation

and the manner in which it evolves could be far more significant than you believe. Though you could be stunned by news, you will adjust. The unexpected occurs in the workplace or with someone you look up to.

Tonight: A partner or loved one could be more difficult than necessary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your ability to flex is put to the test. How much can you really handle and absorb? New information is forthcoming. A key figure in your life doesn’t demonstrate the same ability to flex and could be a problem right now. Tonight: Let your imagination kick in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH The best intentions could fall to the wayside. When making plans or a to-do list, you assume a certain set of givens. Those givens could go to the wayside too quickly for your taste today. Demonstrate an innate openness. Tonight: Rethink a decision carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Strap on your seat belt, as you could find that nearly everywhere you turn life presents a maze or a roller-coaster ride. Maintain your sense of humor, and you will clear it with ease. A discussion about a project or with a loved one could provide exciting ups and downs.

Tonight: Stay in the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be flabbergasted by how fast the best laid plans fall to the wayside. You also might want to rethink a situation more carefully that involves your personal and/or domestic life. Understanding evolves for those who want it. Tonight:

Squeeze in some exercise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your creativity responds to the unanticipated. You’ll move in new ways and in a new direction if you don’t get stuck in a mental attitude. In any case, knowing when to move on remains critical. Tonight: Ever playful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Getting clear of a personal matter might not happen. You might have to accept the situation knowing that all the facts and ramifications are far from in. Use care making any financial commitments, especially if you’re feeling pressured.

Compost

Continued from C1 The great diversity of life in the Amazon includes species and habitats that have direct benefits for people worldwide, Symington said. Compounds found on the skin of the poison dart frog, for example, turned out to be important for anesthesia and other medical products.

The Amazon rainforests also have an impact on the regional and global climate. Some climate models show that the Amazon influences rainfall in the U.S. Midwest.

The World Wildlife Fund reviewed scientific literature and counted more than 1,200 new species — including 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals — that were discovered in the Amazon from 1999 to 2009. The full count would be much higher, because the report didn’t include the vast majority of newly found invertebrates.

The report was released as the 193 member countries of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity meet in Japan on ways to protect the diversity of life on Earth.

The World Wildlife Fund reported that at least 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed in the last 50 years. The fund has a program in Brazil and the seven other countries of the Amazon Basin to protect the rainforest from agriculture, ranching and roads, while promoting sustainable economic development.

Cattle ranching, for example, accounts for 80 percent of the Amazon’s deforestation, Symington said.

“If we can make sure ranching doesn’t expand and those ranches that exist could be more productive instead, that would be a huge gain,” she said.

Logging has reduced the habitat of the bald-headed parrot, one of the new finds. It lives in only a few places in Brazil, and its population is declining.

Last week, the Alliance for Zero Extinction, a coalition of conservation organizations, including the U.S. division of the World Wildlife Fund, released a report that found that 920 of the world’s most endangered wildlife species are restricted to 587 sites, and only half of them have any degree of conservation protection.

The alliance said in a news release that protecting the remaining sites “could help to avert an imminent global extinction crisis.”

Continued from C1 At Café Yumm!, workers take the ends of zucchini, onion skins, pits and skins of avocados and more, and toss them into four buckets they have in the prep area, said Karli Foster, co-owner and general manager of the restaurant.

“As we’re making food to order and when tickets come through, we can put that compost right there,” she said.

It wasn’t hard to make the switch to throwing scraps into the compost buckets, she said — workers were already used to sorting out recycling and other materials. And as a green-minded restaurant, it meshed with the company’s philosophy, she said.

“It’s been fantastic,” she said.

“The busier we are, the more we see we’re composting.”

Because so much material is composted, the restaurant only has to have a garbage pickup once a week, instead of two or three times, she said.

“We really don’t have a lot of garbage,” Foster said.

Strictly Organic has sent coffee grounds to Fields Farm for years, said Rhonda Ealy, co-owner of the coffee shop.

Twitter Continued from C1 The app is a finalist for the Best Social Media Management Tool award from the influential and highly trafficked social media blog Mashable.com. Mashable is giving out awards for the fourth consecutive year. This year, there are 25 categories for Mashable awards.

Robinson has been reaching out to fellow tweeps in Bend and elsewhere to ask for votes, which can be submitted to the award site one time per day. And the tweeps are responding in great numbers.

When a fellow tweep first nominated Robinson’s unfollowing app for the award, Robinson was thrilled. “If I can make it to the finals, I’ll be a happy guy,” he said he remembers thinking.

On Nov. 30, when Mashable announced the five finalists for the award and he saw his app listed, he doubted he could win.

“It’s a little David versus Goliath,” he said.

Who Unfollowed Me? is up against a few heavy hitters in the world of Twitter apps, such as Tweetdeck, which allows users to see the latest updates from accounts they follow in categorized lists, and HootSuite, which enables users to simultaneously post on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media sites.

But as votes for Robinson’s app rack up on the award site, he has become more confident. “Now I actually think I can win,” he said.

Robinson is quick to admit his unfollowing app was not the first of its kind.

Traffic going up daily First, he said, there was Qwitter, which e-mails Twitter users when others unfollow them. But then Qwitter stopped working, he said, and there was a void in the unfollowing-app niche. After developing it for a week, Robinson launched Who Unfollowed Me? in February. Since then, he said, “I’ve just watched the traffic go up every day.”

And now other unfollowing apps have entered the market.

Two of them are JustUnfollow and ManageFlitter. Qwitter has

“It’s definitely a winning proposition for everyone. It reduces our overall waste, helps out Fields Farm, (and) it reduces the cost of our trash.”

— Noelle Fredland, Old Mill District marketing manager

‘A way of life’ “Composting and reusing and recycling as much as we possibly can — that’s a way of life for us and always has been,” she said.

But with the Old Mill program, the management company took the lead and organized the effort, Ealy said, making it easy for the restaurant to participate.

“It’s a great program,” she said, noting that the Old Mill store fills two or three 5-gallon buckets a day, just with coffee grounds.

Jim Fields, owner of Fields Farm, said he’s also happy with the way the program has gone.

He composts the food waste and coffee grounds with horse manure and other material to create a fertilizer that he uses to grow vegetables on his Bend farm. The compost mixture can bump up the organic matter in the soil from between 1 and 2 percent to 5 percent, he said.

Most organic farms don’t make their own compost, Fields said, since doing so is almost like an additional operation that farmers have to manage.

resurfaced, too.

“I started by emulating other people,” Robinson said, “and now it’s kind of funny to see other people emulate what I’m doing.”

Who Unfollowed Me? is different from other social media apps Robinson has designed in the past in that people come back to use it again and again, he said.

Another app Robinson released this year, called Twush, gives tweeps a way to confess a Twitter crush, or twush, on other users in their network.

The idea came about after a lunch conversation with a friend a few months ago. “She said, ‘I have a Twitter crush,’” Robinson recalled. “‘Oh, you have a twush,’” he replied. Robinson went home and wrote down his idea, registered a domain name and spent a few days setting up a website for his new concept.

But he has seen people use twush as a novelty, just once or maybe twice, he said.

Who Unfollowed Me? is different from twush in this respect, and others. Some users pay $4.99 a year for premium services on the site, and these days Robinson is seeing 200 new accounts being registered per month. Currently, he said, the site has 350,000 registered users and receives 90,000 visits per day.

The other app Robinson released this year is called Follower Review. It gives Twitter users numerical information on the ways they and their followers use the social media site: how often they retweet, or forward, information; how often they link to sites in tweets; how often they reply to others’ tweets; and how frequently they add hashtags, or labels, to their tweets.

Mashable does not pay award winners. But already the nomination of Robinson’s unfollowing app has brought up thousands of new users and Twitter followers.

The added attention is likely to come in handy, as Robinson continues to develop new Twitter apps and other technologies.

Before the year is up, Robinson said, he hopes to release an app called So Forgetful, which will allow users to set reminders for themselves in the form of tweets and e-mails. The app originated,

Karli Foster, of Café Yumm!, says it wasn’t hard to get kitchen staff to throw food scraps into the compost buckets. The greenminded restaurant was already sorting out recycling materials.

“It’s so much more expensive and time consuming,” he said.

But the mix of material — coffee grounds from all over the world, vegetable scraps from different regions and other material like hops — adds different elements to the fertilizer, he said.

Making compost with waste from area restaurants keeps things local, and uses resources from Central Oregon, he said.

“We really like this low-energy lifestyle,” he said.

Educating employees The biggest challenge in the program has been making sure employees know what goes in the compost bin, Fredland said.

A busy summer followed by the hectic holiday season has slowed the process of other restaurants joining the program, she said, and other businesses such as Greg’s Grill and Anthony’s have separate

programs for food recycling.

But she said she would like to get other restaurants, including the new Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches, on board in January.

Craig McCollum, co-owner of Jimmy John’s, said the restaurant already donates good food it can no longer use to a shelter, but would be open to the composting program for food waste.

Fredland said she hopes the program continues.

“It’s definitely a winning proposition for everyone,” Fredland said. “It reduces our overall waste, helps out Fields Farm, (and) it reduces the cost of our trash.”

he said, from his wife frequently nagging him to take out the garbage on Sundays.

And Robinson is eager to expand Who Unfollowed Me? to Facebook.

Lindley said EDCO does not know exactly how many software developers live and work in the region. But she does know such people abound here, mostly for quality-of-life reasons.

After all, their work is not necessarily tied to the region, so they might as well live here, she said.

“Simply by being nominated in the Top 5,” she said, “it brings attention to the independent development community that we have, and a lot of folks don’t know that we have a lot of software developers. ... It brings attention to the kind of entrepreneurial talent and software talent that we have in Central Oregon.”

SocialEatia Robinson is not only involved in his own projects. He currently works at the office of SocialEatia, a soon-to-launch Web venture that will help restaurants and other food-related businesses coordinate their social media presence, and show hungry Web surfers posts from myriad local establishments.

Robinson is designing SocialEatia’s website, and when he’s done, he will develop iPhone and Android apps for the service, said SocialEatia CEO Evan Julber.

Julber said SocialEatia was born after Julber told Robinson about how a family friend of Julber’s was struggling to find time to update all her restaurant’s social media sites, and Robinson essentially said he could have an app for that.

These days, Robinson said, he spends about 35 hours a week working on SocialEatia and about 20 hours a week on his own projects, including his own apps.

“His work ethic is excellent,” Julber said of Robinson. “I know he’ll work till 1 or 2 in the morning, and he just loves programming and learning new programming techniques.”

NFL Roof collapse moves Giants-Vikings game to Detroit MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre is getting help from the Minnesota Vikings medical staff, the athletic trainers and perhaps even the weather gods as he tries to keep his incredible consecutive starts record going.

The Vikings’ home game against the New York Giants was moved to tonight in Detroit after the Metrodome’s inflated roof collapsed in a snowstorm early Sunday morning.

The delay has given Favre more time to heal his sprained right shoulder, with his NFL-record streak of 297 straight regular season starts hanging in the balance.

Favre barely practiced all week. He’s listed as questionable for the game after getting hit hard and slammed to the turf on his first pass of last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Favre sent a text message to USA Today on Sunday saying he doubts he will be able to play on Monday night “but it does buy a little time.”

Interim coach Leslie Frazier said the 41-year-old quarterback will still go through a pregame workout to determine if he’s able to play.

The game originally was scheduled for Sunday afternoon and already had been pushed back because of the storm that dumped 17 inches of snow on Minneapolis.

But Metrodome officials told the league the roof wouldn’t be ready in time to play today or Tuesday. The league also had discussions with New Orleans, St. Louis and Indianapolis and briefly considered the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium before deciding to hold the game at Ford Field at 4:20 p.m. PST.

he 2010 Cyclocross National Championships made for a week that Central Oregon cyclocross fans will remember.

In the span of five days, we experienced just about every weather extreme Mother Nature could throw at us: freezing ice and snow, driving rain and wind, and

then unseasonably warm temperatures and even some sun. Riders raced on a muddy and mucky course and in a competitive environment that I heard numerous participants describe as the most difficult ’cross racing they had ever endured. And that’s part of the reason why the top performances by local riders were so special.

Bend cyclist digs deep but finishes second

The adoring hometown crowd was loud as could be, clanging cowbells and screaming his name every time he rode by.

But in the end, Bend’s Ryan Trebon could not close the gap on Todd Wells.

Wells, a two-time Olympic mountain biker from Durango, Colo., claimed his third U.S. Cyclocross National Championship Sunday afternoon in Bend’s Old Mill District.

Wells finished the race (eight laps on a 1.8-mile course) in 1 hour, 49 seconds, holding off a hard-charging Trebon, who finished second in 1:01:14. Jeremy Powers, of Easthampton, Mass., finished third in 1:02:16.

Compton, of Colorado Springs, Colo., cruised easily to her seventh straight U.S. title Sunday in the Elite women’s race at the 2010 U.S. Cyclocross National Championships on an unseasonably mild afternoon in Bend’s Old Mill District.

he Oregon School Activities Association did the Redmond High wrestling team no favors this past offseason.

Instead of competing in the Salem-based Central Valley Conference, as the Panthers have the last four years, Redmond wrestlers starting this season will qualify for the Class 6A state tournament through 6A’s Special District 4.

That district includes Roseburg, winner of three of the last four 6A state team titles, and Crater, the 2009 5A state runner-up. In an effort to reduce costs — and the number of statetour na ment p a r t ic i p a n t s Inside — the OSAA • A look at altered the the districts way in which and leagues wrestlers will for Central qualify for the Oregon upcoming state teams in wrestling tournaments when swimming, it went through basketball its latest round and of reclassificawrestling, tion. Instead of Page D4 the top three wrestlers advancing from each league tournament, teams at all classifications will go to an eight-team regional or “Special District” tournament, where the top four wrestlers in each weight class will earn a berth at state.

“For us individually as a school, it’s going to be pretty rough on us,” Panther wrestling coach Nathan Stanley says about the new regional format. “We’ve got the toughest region in the state.

“But this will be good for the sport,” Stanley acknowledges.

“It’s important we get the good kids to state.”

While Redmond may have drawn the short end of the stick as far as regional matchups go, teams representing Central Oregon’s 5A schools — Bend, Mountain View and Summit — should be ecstatic with their new district.

Instead of competing in a district with four-time defending state champion Hermiston or historically strong Crook County and Pendleton, Bend’s three wrestling programs will square off against teams from Southern Oregon and the Eugene area in Class 5A’s Special District 4.

The OSAA’s reshuffling could also have a profound effect on Madras and Crook County, both of which will compete in Class 4A this season. The White Buffaloes finished eighth and the Cowboys 11th, respectively, at the 5A state meet last March. Madras and Crook County will compete in 4A’s Special District 2 with Eastern Oregon teams La Grande, Baker, Ontario and McLoughlin of Milton-Freewater, and with Central Oregon rivals Sisters and La Pine.

DENVER — He’s barely visible in the picture on his iPod, unconscious in an intensive-care unit, hidden beneath a raft of tubes, machines and breathing devices.

Only a long, mullet-like hairdo — hastily shaved away at the front and sides of his head to create entry points for all this apparatus — gives a hint of who he is.

“That’s my third day in the hospital. It’s still crazy for me to see those,” says the patient, Kevin Pearce, who remembers nothing of that time and is thankful for that. “I would never guess that’s what I looked like.

“But that actually wasn’t hard for me to see,” he says,

“because I knew I was going to be OK from all those tubes.”

Nearing the one-year mark since the crash on the halfpipe in Utah that nearly killed him, Pearce is doing better than OK.

CYCLOCROSS

Winter sports • United States’ Randall third in cross-country race: U.S. skier Kikkan Randall placed third in the cross country World Cup sprint race in Switzerland won by Marit Bjoergen, and Emil Joensson, of Sweden, won the men’s event.

World Cup leader Bjoergen continued her dominating season with a 41st career victory Sunday. The Norwegian led Italy’s Arianna Follis by 2 seconds in the 1.4kilometer freestyle race and Randall was another 0.4 of a second back.

• Vonn takes seventh in World Cup GS: Lindsey Vonn enjoyed a victory of sorts Sunday in her bid to retain the World Cup overall title. Her seventh-place finish in a giant slalom won by France’s Tessa Worley at windswept St. Moritz in Switzerland might not seem like much.

But it was the best result in nearly two years in what’s easily the weakest discipline for the skier from Park City, Utah.

Vonn moved 24 points closer to early leader Maria Riesch in the race for the crystal globe trophy. Riesch, Vonn’s good friend and rival, finished an uncharacteristic 19th. Worley won by 0.01 seconds for the second straight week following her giant slalom victory at Aspen, Colo.

She covered the two runs on the Corviglia course in 2 minutes, 10.70 seconds to edge Tanja Poutiainen, of Finland.

Tina Maze, of Slovenia, was third, 0.31 behind. Julia Mancuso, of Squaw Valley, Calif., was eighth.

• Hirscher edges Raich to win World Cup slalom: Marcel Hirscher tamed the daunting Face de Bellevarde course for a second consecutive year to claim a third World Cup win Sunday in France, edging fellow Austrian Benjamin Raich in a challenging slalom that Bode Miller was unable to finish. Hirscher, who trailed leader Manfred Moelgg, of Italy, by 0.20 seconds after the first run, clocked 53.06 seconds in the afternoon to win in a combined time of 1 minute, 44.70 seconds.

Most of the competitors struggled to keep their balance on the steep course and the first run saw several high-profile casualties. On a bad day for the U.S. ski team, Ligety — who won Saturday’s giant slalom in impressive fashion — missed a gate in the second run and finished 36.44 seconds off the pace in 25th place.

• Reno preparing bid for 2022 Winter Olympics: Nevada boosters are working quietly behind the scenes to capture another Winter Olympics. The chairman of Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, told the Reno Gazette-Journal the group is “very serious” about preparing a bid for the 2022 Winter Games. Krolicki says winning the games would boost Reno’s economy for years before and after the games. Nearby Squaw Valley USA held the 1960 Winter Olympics. The ski resort’s president, Andy Wirth, says he’s enthusiastic about bidding for another chance. Nevada officials say they’d probably have to use taxpayer revenue to bankroll facilities but believe Olympic profits could make the state whole in the end. Olympic cities keep the lion’s share of ticket sales.

Golf • Johnson-Poulter win Shark Shootout: Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter won the Shark Shootout in Naples, Fla., Sunday, shooting a 13-under 59 in the scramble format to beat Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell by two shots.

Johnson and Poulter took the lead with birdies on their first four holes and had no trouble the rest of the way in finishing at 30-under 186. Clarke and McDowell (59) never came closer than two strokes.

The two teams passed second-round co-leaders Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker (64) and Fred Funk and Kenny Perry (66).

Kelly and Stricker, the defending champions, tied for third at 26 under with Chris DiMarco and Anthony Kim (61). The 12 teams in the tournament hosted by Greg Norman at Tiburon Golf Club played modified alternate shot in the first round and better ball in the second.

• Martin defends Alfred Dunhill title: Pablo Martin survived a disastrous triple bogey to successfully defend his Alfred Dunhill Championship title Sunday in South Africa, shooting a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory. The Spaniard had a 7 at the par-4 17th but recovered to birdie

the last for an 11-under 277 at Leopard Creek Country Club. He was two clear of Thorbjorn Olesen (66), Charl Schwartzel (70) and Anthony Michael (73), who took a one-stroke lead into the final round of the European Tour event. Martin is the first winner on the 2010-11 Race to Dubai and the first player to retain a European Tour title since Padraig Harrington won a second straight British Open in 2008.

• Senior wins Australian PGA: Australia’s Peter Senior won the rain-delayed Australian PGA early today, beating Geoff Ogilvy with a par on the second hole of a playoff to become the oldest player to win a major professional tournament in Australia. The 51-year-old Senior, a regular on the Champions Tour, made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation for a 1-under 71 to match Ogilvy, the Australian Open winner last week in Sydney, at 12-under 276. Ogilvy finished with a 66. Both players parred the 18th hole on the first hole of the playoff, and Ogilvy three-putted for a bogey on the second extra hole to give Senior his third Australian PGA title.

Football • Source says Florida’s Meyer has health concerns: A person with knowledge of the situation says Urban Meyer walked away from Florida because of health concerns. Meyer has a recurring burning sensation in his chest that doctors told him last week would raise cardiovascular risk factors if he continued to coach, the person told The Associated Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity because Meyer’s health issues are confidential. The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun first reported the story. Meyer announced his resignation Wednesday and said health was not the reason he was walking away. He said he wanted to spend more time with his family.

• Miami offers coaching job to Temple’s Golden: A person with knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press the Miami Hurricanes have offered their coaching job to Temple’s Al Golden.

Golden was expected to accept the offer, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because Miami officials didn’t authorize any comment Sunday with a deal not yet completed.

The person told The AP an agreement could be finalized today. Golden would replace Randy Shannon, fired Nov. 27 after the Hurricanes completed a 7-5 regular season. Golden also is believed to be a candidate for the vacant job at Pitt. The 41-year-old Golden has led a turnaround at once-moribund Temple, winning 17 games in the past two seasons.

Baseball • Mariners complete trade with Cardinals: The St. Louis Cardinals have traded infielder Brendan Ryan to the Seattle Mariners for hard-throwing right-hander Maikel Cleto. Ryan hit .223 and had 11 steals in just short of 500 plate appearances for St. Louis last season. The Cardinals get a 21-year old pitcher who can touch 100 mph. He spent last season in the California League. He had a 6.16 ERA in 23 appearances, all but two of which were starts. Cleto also pitched in the Arizona Fall League.

Soccer • Akron wins NCAA men’s title: Scott Caldwell scored in the 78th minute to help Akron beat top-ranked Louisville 1-0 on Sunday in the NCAA Division I men’s soccer championship game in Santa Barbara, Calif. Akron (22-1-2) won the title — its first in NCAA competition in any sport — a year after losing the College Cup final to Virginia in a shootout after a scoreless draw. Caldwell scored on a 15-yard shot after Louisville’s defense blocked his attempt from the top of the penalty box.

The midfielder has scored all five of his career goals in the last seven postseason games. Louisville (20-1-3) was attempting to become the first undefeated team since Santa Clara in 1989. Louisville’s Buck Tufty and Aaron Horton had pointblank attempts at a tying score in the final minute in front of a crowd of 9,672 at UC Santa Barbara’s Harder Stadium. Akron took 19 shots in the match, while Louisville had 15.

QB change leads 49ers to a rout of Seahawks Alex Smith comes off the bench to throw three TDs in San Francisco win

A DOME NO MORE

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Not only is Alex Smith playing for a job next season, he might be helping coach Mike Singletary save his.

A switch of quarterbacks named Smith did wonders to keep San Francisco’s hopes alive.

Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns in a triumphant return to the starting lineup following a five-game absence, and the 49ers improved their onceslim playoff chances with a 40-21 victory over the NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

The Niners muddled up the ugly West race even more with a surprisingly lopsided win.

San Francisco (5-8) moved within a game of division leaders Seattle (6-7) and St. Louis (6-7), which lost 31-13 at New Orleans.

The 49ers looked much more like the team that was predicted to win the division after an unbeaten preseason — not the bunch that began 0-5.

“We’re a young team and today was big for us,” Singletary said. “But at the same time, today means nothing if we don’t play well next week. We have very little room for error, and we have to understand that.”

Matt Hasselbeck went 27 for 42 for 285 yards and two TDs, but threw four interceptions and lost a fumble as Seattle had turnovers in five of six possessions during one stretch.

“They didn’t have to do anything special today because we gave them so many good shots and good opportunities,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

Vernon Davis caught five passes for 70 yards and a 42yard catch-and-run TD, Josh Morgan made a 15-yard touchdown reception and Brian West-

The collapsed roof of the Metrodome is shown in this aerial view in Minneapolis on Sunday. The inflatable roof of the Metrodome collapsed Sunday after a snowstorm dumped 17 inches on Minneapolis. No one was hurt, but the roof failure sent the NFL scrambling to find a new venue for the Vikings’ game against the New York Giants (see related story, Page D1).

NFL ROUNDUP brook hauled in a 62-yard touchdown pass for his longest career TD catch and longest play from scrimmage since 2006. Westbrook wound up with six catches for 87 yards.

“It’s playoff mode right now,” Smith said. “It was a must-win game. We knew that all week — our backs against the wall.”

Smith matched a career high by throwing for three touchdowns for the fifth time. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2005 was back behind center in place of Troy Smith, who went 3-2 during his stint as San Francisco’s starter.

on Nov. 16, 2008.

Leon Washington returned a kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter — the highlight of the day for the Seahawks, who lost for the fifth time in seven games after a 4-2 start.

“This one’s pretty bad,” Hasselbeck said. “It was not a good day for us. It was not a good day for me. It seems like everything was going wrong.”

In other games on Sunday: Lions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Packers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 DETROIT — Drew Stanton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Will Heller midway through the fourth quarter, and Green Bay couldn’t come back without

Dashon Goldson made a 39yard interception return for a touchdown on the third play of the second half.

This was a far cry from the rivals’ matchup in Week 1, when the Seahawks won 30-6 and San Francisco failed to reach the end zone. Singletary thanked Carroll afterward for the whipping.

Jeff Reed kicked four field goals Sunday for the 49ers, who had already reached their season high in points by halftime with a 30-7 lead. It was the Niners’ biggest first half since scoring 35 in a 35-16 home win over the Rams

Jaguars. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Raiders . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — David Garrard threw three touchdown passes, Maurice JonesDrew and Rashad Jennings each topped 100 yards rushing in a game filled with big plays.

Buccaneers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Redskins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 LANDOVER, Md. — A flubbed extra point attempt with 9 seconds to play kept Washington from tying the game. The Redskins pulled within a point on Santana Moss’ 6-yard touchdown catch, but Nick Sundberg’s slightly high snap on a wet field went through holder Hunter Smith’s hands.

Steelers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Bengals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 PITTSBURGH — Troy Polamalu and LaMarr Woodley returned interceptions by Carson Palmer for touchdowns as Cincinnati dropped a franchise record 10th straight game.

Rian Lindell hit field goals of 30 and 19 yards to help the Bills (3-11) snap a three-game losing streak against Cleveland.

Falcons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Panthers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Turner ran for 112 yards and three touchdowns, Matt Ryan threw for another and Atlanta held onto the best record in the NFC. The Falcons (11-2) built a 17-0 halftime lead, survived a brief hiccup to start the third quarter, and cruised to their seventh straight win.

Saints . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Rams. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees threw for three scores, Malcolm Jenkins returned one of his two interceptions 96 yards for his first career touchdown, and New

Orleans won its sixth straight game. Marques Colston had a pair of touchdown catches in traffic as New Orleans (10-3) raced to a 14-0 lead and never trailed.

Chargers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Chiefs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes to Malcom Floyd and San Diego remained alive in the AFC West race.

Cardinals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 Broncos . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jay Feely became the fourth kicker in 40 years to run for a touchdown and added a career-best five field goals to help Arizona end a seven-game losing streak. Arizona rookie quarterback John Skelton completed 14 of 36 for 141 yards with no interceptions and had at least four passes dropped in his first NFL start.

Patriots . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36 Bears. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 CHICAGO — Tom Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and New England locked up its eighth playoff berth in 10 years with a pounding of Chicago on a snowy, blustery, bone-chilling day.

Dolphins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Jets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Miami turned two early turnovers into its only points in winning at the rainy Meadowlands.

Much of the game was played in a downpour, which made for inept offense in the sloppy conditions. The Dolphins gained 132 yards, with Chad Henne passing for only 55, yet improved to 7-6.

Eagles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Cowboys. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 ARLINGTON, Texas — DeSean Jackson had 210 yards receiving, including a 91-yard, go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Spurs beat Trail Blazers to take win streak to five The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan left the bench and headed toward the scorer’s table midway through the fourth quarter.

Surely, the San Antonio Spurs were in trouble and calling on their All-Star bedrock to once again save them.

Not really.

Duncan had eight points and 13 rebounds in his 1,000th career regular-season game, but the Spurs hardly needed him while cruising to a fifth straight win with a 95-78 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

George Hill scored 22 in the fourth straight blowout for the Spurs, who improved the NBA’s best record to 20-3.

They were well in control when Duncan re-entered the game with six minutes left to log his fist fourth-quarter appearance in four games.

So what was the deal, anyway?

“I think (coach Gregg Popovich’s) philosophy this year is to try not to play me in the fourth quarter at all, whether we’re winning or losing,” Duncan said. “I think he thinks our team is better without me out there. I’ve been trying to disprove him at some point.”

Wesley Matthews scored 17 points for the Trail Blazers, whose winning streak was halted at four games. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 16 and Marcus Camby added 11 points and 13 rebounds.

The Trail Blazers lost for the first time since ending a demoralizing six-game skid that included a players-only meeting, coach Nate McMillan saying his team wasn’t “responding to him” and Aldridge and others publicly supporting their head coach.

Portland, while disappointed, took this loss much easier.

“I thought we, as a unit, were staggered,” McMillan said. “We didn’t have the movement and they were physical and trying to disrupt the timing.”

Brandon Roy had just nine points on four-of-16 shooting, and Portland had just three scorers in double figures. The Blazers matched their season low for points while shooting just 38 percent.

Portland’s Nicolas Batum scored just five points on two of nine shooting after going zero for seven in a win Friday night at Phoenix.

Roy, who was held to nine points for the second time in three games, said he tweaked his knee early in the game and that it was “a little sore going” the rest of the way. Roy missed three games last month with an injury to his left knee.

“I still got some looks, but I really didn’t have the explosiveness,” he said.

Roy said he expects to play today at Memphis.

Manu Ginobili added 18 points for the Spurs, Tony Parker had 14 and reserve Gary Neal added 11. San Antonio improved to 5-0 on its longest homestand of the season and can end it unbeaten

San Antonio Spurs’ DeJuan Blair, left, and Portland Trail Blazers’ LaMarcus Aldridge collide during the second half of Sunday’s game in San Antonio. with a victory Wednesday night against Milwaukee.

Duncan has lately been watching the Spurs coast along while resting on the bench, where the Spurs want to see their perennial All-Star as much as possible.

The last time Duncan was truly essential in the fourth was Dec. 3 against Minnesota, when he finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Remarkably, the Spurs haven’t seen or needed those Duncan-like games during the best start in franchise history. Popovich wants to limit the wear-and-tear on his 34-year-old star, and so far the plan is working: Duncan entered the game averaging a career-low 28.8 minutes.

“As the minutes continue to drop and I’m not in the fourth quarter, I’m going to become unbearable on the bench and pretty much annoy him to the point where he has to put me in,” Duncan said.

“That’s my goal.”

Notes: The Trail Blazers have lost five of six on the road. ... Although Duncan reached the four-digit milestone Sunday for games played in the regular season, the 34-year-old was appearing in his 1,171st game, counting the playoffs.

Continued from D1

Wrestling is not the only winter sport dealing with change this year. Central Oregon’s largeschool basketball teams will play one another three times in the new Intermountain Hybrid, which is made up of Redmond, Bend, Mountain View, Summit and Crook County.

“I’m OK with it,” Mountain View boys basketball coach Craig Reid says. “I’d like to see at least one more team in the conference, but it’s OK. Those good rivalry games are a lot of fun.”

With a five-team league, teams in the Intermountain Hybrid had little choice but to schedule one another three times. Two games against one another (a more conventional home-and-away series with each team) would have made for a league schedule of just eight games, leaving local athletic directors with the unenviable task of finding 16 nonleague games to fill the OSAA scheduling maximum of 24 regular-season contests.

“It’ll be a dogfight and a slugfest,” Summit boys basketball coach and athletic director Dan Munson says about playing teams three times in the regular season. “You start playing teams three times, you’re going to start seeing the same stuff.”

Similar to the OSAA’s firstyear postseason format for football, the Intermountain Hybrid basketball teams will qualify for the state playoffs by playing teams in their own classification.

For example, Redmond’s boys and girls teams will compete for a 6A state playoff berth against Portland’s Grant and Lincoln and the Eugene area’s Thurston, Sheldon and South Eugene. The three Bend teams’ records against one

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Oregon State gets back to .500 The Associated Press CORVALLIS — Oregon State took a break last week to focus on final exams but got in a few good practices, too.

The effort showed Sunday when the Beavers returned from the layoff to beat Texas-Pan American 89-69.

“Well, that felt good,” coach Craig Robinson said. “It was good to have a sustained effort for 40 minutes. That’s helps you weather a lot of mistakes.”

Omari Johnson had 18 points and Lathen Wallace added 15 for the Beavers (4-4), who led by as many as 30 points in the second half. Jared Cunningham had 10 points and six steals.

Oregon State had not played since an 83-57 loss to Colorado on Dec. 4 because of finals.

“We had a long stretch since the Colorado game,” Johnson said. “We’ve had a lot of practices and put in a lot of work.”

Roberto Nelson, one of the most talked about recruits for Oregon State in recent years, made his long-awaited debut after redshirting last season and sitting out the fall term because of academic issues. The guard

Crash Continued from D1 Then, the fall — the accident that left him crumpled and seemingly lifeless at the bottom of the halfpipe, needing to be airlifted to the hospital, teetering between life and death.

Less than two months after that terrible day, he was walking again.

By April, he was out of the hospital. A few months after that, he was back home in Vermont, playing the occasional game of tennis and pingpong to help restore some of his lost eye-hand coordination.

Though there is far to go, a stranger meeting him for the first time would have little clue about all he has been through over the past 11 months. The handshake is firm. The voice strong. The long, blond hair has grown back.

“When you break your leg, you can’t walk for however long and you’re in a cast,” Pearce said.

“When you break your head, well, I’m still in a cast but no one can tell.”

Pearce returned this week to Craig Hospital in Denver, where his most intensive therapy came in the harrowing weeks and months after his New Year’s Eve accident.

The report he got during his fourday return to the traumatic brain injury unit was mostly good, even if he didn’t hear the news that really would have cheered him up.

“I was hoping to ride again soon, but they said my brain needed to heal for another six or seven months,” Pearce said after doctors told him that hitting his head during this still-fragile period could be devastating to his progress. “They didn’t give me the answer I was exactly looking for.”

He concedes he’s impatient.

After all, even with all he’s been through, Pearce is still, at heart, a 23-year-old snowboarder. Taking it easy has never been how he rolls and after this doctor’s appointment, he had to remind himself that even though he’s feeling good, there are still miles to go in what has, thus far, been a recovery that only the most enthusiastic of optimists could have imagined.

“It’s a slow process,” says his brother, Adam. “You get over one thing, then you find the next thing and you have to worry about that for like a month.”

But, his family says, the past 11 months have been more of a steady climb than one step forward and two steps back.

Coming back Those closest to him see subtle changes in his personality — a more affectionate, inquisitive, outgoing person, more reminiscent of the kid he was growing up than the adolescent and young adult he became. Often, however, people who make it through traumatic brain injuries re-emerge as completely different people.

“From the beginning, I just never had the feeling, like, ‘Oh my God, the Kevin I knew and loved is gone,’ ” says his mother, Pia. “It just doesn’t feel that way.”

One big clue: Kevin’s sense of humor never went away. He brings it into play throughout an hourlong discussion about where he is, what he remembers and where he hopes to go.

“I roll with two pair of glasses,” he explains. “But it’s not because I’m a freak.”

Instead, he uses one for regular walking around and another for

finished with four points in his first official game in two years.

Robinson suggested the main task at hand was getting Nelson’s wind back, and giving him an introduction to the speed of the college game.

“Listen, the basketball skills, I’m not worried about,” Robinson said. “I haven’t been able to talk to him about whether his lungs are burning.”

Perry Petty had 32 points and six rebounds for Texas-Pan American (3-9), which was coming off a 74-52 loss to Washington State in Spokane on Friday night.

Nelson committed to the Beavers after Robinson spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, delivering a loving introduction to his sister Michelle Obama. It was a coup for the coach, who came to Oregon State in the midst of his brotherin-law’s successful campaign for the White House.

A 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Southern California, Nelson was wooed by several big-name programs, including UCLA and Ohio State, but took a liking to Robinson.

Nelson joins the Pac-10’s youngest roster that includes four seniors, a junior, three sophomores and seven freshmen.

The Beavers went up 11-3 early on back-to-back dunks from Cunningham and freshman Devon Collier. They extended the first-half lead to 19-3.

Nelson came in to hearty applause with 14:08 to go in the half. Although his first appearance was marked by three fouls, three turnover and an air ball, he showed aggressiveness with a drive to the basket late in the first half while swarmed by three defenders.

Nelson was one for four from the field and hit two free throws in 15 minutes.

“It might take him five or six games to get warmed up, but when he gets ready, he’s going to be an asset — a major asset — for us,” Robinson said.

Also on Sunday: No. 2 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . . 85 Western Carolina . . . . . . . . . . . 60 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jared Sullinger scored 17 points and Ohio State came out of the blocks fast to beat turnover-prone Western Carolina.

up-close vision. Vision and balance are his two biggest day-today struggles. When he takes his glasses off — stylin’ Oakleys with black, rectangular rims, pancakethick lenses and a prism built in to encourage the eyes to work in tandem — he sees double. That’s not great but better than a few months ago, when everything was one, big blur.

Back home in Vermont, his typical day is largely spent doing physical therapy at the gym, where Adam is his partner in everything — working out, having fun, transportation since Kevin can’t drive.

Even some things you might not expect. “Until a month ago, he had shaved me every single day for nine, 10 months,” Kevin says.

He’s left-handed and because the left side of his body endured more damage, day-to-day tasks such as shaving and handling silverware have been that much more work.

Had the accident not happened, had the family not spent almost every waking hour in the hospital wondering if Kevin was going to make it, they all would have been in Vancouver last February.

Instead of the Olympics being the story of Shaun White vs. Shaun White — a contest in which the gold-medal winner was all but preordained and it was only a matter of how he’d do it — it would have been the story of Shaun White vs.

Kevin Pearce.

Pearce was that good. He had the tricks. Most notably, he had “That Trick” — the Double Cork 1260 that became the gold standard, the jump you had to throw to win and the most dangerous thing anyone can conceive of, at this point, in a halfpipe contest.

To do the trick, you must flip head over heels twice while spinning 1260 degrees, much of it in a no-bailout position — head pointing down, sometimes hovering precariously above a frozen, unforgiving edge of the 22-foot-high halfpipe.

There’s very little margin for error.

This isn’t to say Pearce was out of line in throwing that jump on the overcast December day in Park City when he lost his bearings, hit his head and wound up the subject of a “picture in the bottom of the halfpipe where it looks like I’m dead,” as Pearce puts it.

Neither he nor his family are using his accident as a wake-up call to change snowboarding, to dial down what is looking more and more like a race to see who can try the most ridiculously dangerous trick above a playing field that is essentially a rock-hard sheet of ice.

“It would be so sad to me if people stopped pushing the level of snowboarding because they thought it was too dangerous,” Kevin says.

All he wants is for his experience to push everyone toward wearing a helmet. It’s the helmet that saved his life that day.

“It always seemed like the better the rider, the less they wear the helmet, so that part of it is real important,” Pia says. “You can’t stop the general direction (of the sport), though.”

the “I Ride 4 Kevin” stickers will be easy to spot; they sprung up almost overnight after Pearce got hurt, as a sport that can often feel like a big family reunion responded with a predictably heartfelt outpouring.

This doesn’t mean the return — and another planned trip next month to the Winter X Games — will be easy.

“It’s interesting thinking about being at these contests and seeing my buddies ride the halfpipe and thinking, ‘I know I could do that run, I know I could do that trick,’ ” Kevin says. “It’s going to be hard.

But at the same time, it’s going to be easy, just because of the fact that I’ve seen the shape I was in, and now, I’m good enough to be at the contest and watch. That’s cool.”

From Denver, the Pearces were headed to Southern California where Kevin had bought a house a few weeks before his accident but hadn’t had the chance to do some of the fix-up work he’d been plan-

ning. It will be his first trip back to the house.

Fixing it up will be another milestone in Kevin’s long road back to recovery — a second chance that started with the typical post-accident question: “Why me?” He still asks that question — and will for the rest of his life — only now it’s in gratitude for the miracle he’s been given.

“So many things had to go right,” says his brother, Adam. “Luck had to come into it. It’s crazy when you go down the list of things that had to go right for him to be where he is. It’s a testament to who he is as a person, but a lot of things had to go the right way.”

Back to the halfpipe Next weekend, he’ll attend a halfpipe event in Breckenridge — his first return trip to the mountain to be among the friends he used to spend almost every day with when he was snowboarding’s top up-and-coming star. Undoubtedly,

Around town • Horner talk slated for Wednesday: Bend’s Chris Horner, a world-class professional cyclist and four-time Tour de France finisher, will share his experiences from the 2010 racing season this week here in Central Oregon. “An Evening with Chris Horner” is slated for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Rebound Sports Performance & Pilates in Bend. The gathering is cohosted by Sagebrush Cycles of Bend.

The always exuberant Horner should have plenty to share from his 2010 season, which was marked by one careerdefining highlight after another.

The 39-year-old cyclist, who races for Team RadioShack with American cycling stars Lance Armstrong and Levi Lei-

pheimer, among others, finished 10th overall in last summer’s Tour de France — the best performance by an American in the famous annual stage race.

Horner also recorded a major international stage-race win last April at the Tour of the Basque Country, claimed fourth place overall in May at the Tour of California, and finished the year ranked 18th in the world.

Admission to Wednesday’s event is free.

CYCLING INSIDER | SAFETY TIP

Elite women’s winner Katie Compton keeps a slight lead on secondplace Georgia Gould before pulling away at the U.S. Cyclocross Nationals on Sunday in Bend’s Old Mill District.

The Bulletin gives a safety tip on “predictability” as part of our weekly “Cycling Insider” feature, whose rotating topics include rider profiles, safety and maintenance tips and local rides.

Jess Reed / The Bulletin

Rider Continued from D1 Georgia Gould, of Fort Collins, Colo., surged to an early lead, but Compton wasted little time catching her on the first lap.

The two rode together for a while, but Compton made her move to break away from Gould on the second lap.

“I just wanted to keep going hard and put her under pressure,” Compton said. “It’s a hard, unforgiving course. It’s World Cup-level difficulty. The course designers did a great job.”

Compton, 32, finished the race (five laps on a 1.8-mile course) in 43 minutes, 48 seconds.

Gould, 30, was second in 44:19, and Meredith

Miller, also of Fort Collins, finished third in 47:07. Portland’s Sue Butler placed fifth in 47:26.

The top local rider was Bend’s Serena Bishop, who finished 27th in 50:53.

Gould said she was spurred on by the throng of rowdy spectators, but it was not quite enough to get her back up to Compton.

“The crowd was so awesome, I was like, ‘I wish I could channel all these people and force myself to go harder!’ ” Gould exclaimed.

“But it was hard. Sometimes you try really hard and you only get second place. Sometimes that happens in a lot of races in a row.”

Gould, the current national champion in mountain biking, called it “an honor to race in front of so many people.”

Continued from D1 Bend’s Adam Craig, who won the singlespeed cyclocross national title here Thursday, placed seventh in 1:03:29. Carl Decker, also of Bend, was 18th (1:06:27).

After the race, Trebon called the crowd “awesome,” and he gave the estimated several thousand spectators a spirited “Thank you!” on the public address announcer’s microphone.

“I couldn’t go any harder,” Trebon said. “That was it, man.

That’s all I had in my legs. That really made the legs hurt.”

Early in the race Powers took the lead, with Trebon, Wells, and two other riders giving serious chase.

Trebon crashed on a particularly muddy stretch and dropped back into fifth position about 10 minutes into the one-hour race, but he recovered quickly.

“One little spill will not make or break your day,” Trebon said.

“You can come back if you’re on a good day. I was on a good day — just not a good enough day.”

After the crash, Trebon found himself about 30 seconds behind the leaders and with little hope of getting back into contention for the win.

“I was pretty far back, and I was thinking … this is going to be a hard day,” Trebon said. “I tried not to let it get to me.”

Wells reached Powers on the second lap, and the two riders got tangled up in a muddy corner about halfway through the race.

Wells continued on, but Powers lost valuable time making his bike ridable again.

“My foot got stuck in his wheel,” Wells recounted, “and I’m not sure if that screwed up his wheel or not, but it took us a couple seconds to get untangled.”

That helped Trebon, who surged past Powers and into second place.

With the support of the crowd on a mild and breezy afternoon, Trebon at one point closed the gap on Wells to 10 seconds as he pedaled hard through the thick, heavy mud.

But he never got any closer, as Wells’ jersey was a red-and-white blur racing through the crowd.

“I just wanted to pace myself back into it,” Trebon said. “But I kind of burned all my matches with about two laps to go.”

“For me, if I didn’t make any mistakes, I knew I could go through the corners faster than him,” Wells said of the 6-foot-5inch Trebon. “I knew at that point it was mine to lose.”

The victory marked Wells’ third U.S. title of 2010 — he won the cross-country and short-track national championships in mountain biking earlier this year.

Wells said the crowd along the course near the Deschutes Brewery was so loud “you couldn’t hear yourself think.”

But the majority of those spectators were rooting for Trebon.

“That was awesome,” the Bend rider said. “I appreciate everybody coming out here.”

Continued from D1 We celebrated together when Bend rider Adam Craig, wearing cutoff jeans and a skateboarding helmet, rode to victory in the first-ever singlespeed national championship — and seemingly without breaking a sweat.

We cheered as Lance Haidet, a seventh-grader at Cascade Middle School, became the first junior rider from Bend ever to stand atop the podium at Cyclocross Nationals.

We lost our voices yelling in support of Bend riders Cody Peterson and Damian Schmitt as they turned in gut-wrenching, career-best performances on Saturday afternoon to finish third and fourth, respectively, in the highly competitive Masters men 30-to-34 race.

Despite all of the impressive demonstrations of racers taking their bodies and their skills to the limit, one of the highlights of the entire event was the welcome return of the unofficial “Clydesdale Cyclocross Championship of the Universe,” which was nothing short of a laughter-inducing, finger-pointing, did-you-see-that spectacle.

Eligible participants were male riders over 200 pounds and female riders over 160 pounds.

After several days focused on lean, cut bike racers competing for national-championship glory, the spotlight on Saturday night shone on the big men and women of cyclocross, who got their turn to compete on the nationals race course in Bend’s Old Mill District. In “Clydes” racing, the greater the girth, the better. And eating and drinking while racing was encouraged — and we’re not talking energy gels and Gatorade here.

Costumes, too, were strongly encouraged, and the Clydes competing in Saturday night’s spectacle did not disappoint.

A lit-up Christmas tree, a milk cow (complete with udders) and Santa Claus were among the nearly 60 husky participants who turned out to compete using bike lights to illuminate the muddy track.

And this race was not a competition for merely a national championship. The stakes were much higher. Not only were the winners in each gender category declared champions of both the world and the universe, he and she earned a prize fitting for a Clydesdale: fries.

A whole ’cross season’s worth.

And these fries — dubbed “Belgian frites” by the vendor who sells them from his cart at Oregon’s cyclcoross races — evidently have tremendous pull.

Last year’s winner, Bend’s David Taylor, won the inaugural Clydesdale Championship of the Universe in what was just his second ’cross bike race ever.

When the 2010 cyclocross season rolled around this fall, Taylor, 40, told his wife that he needed to compete in the Cross Crusade series races held in the

“I wish I could have made it a little more exciting for longer,” she added.

The excitement will not end for Compton, who plans to race in the International Cycling Union Cyclo-cross World Championships in Germany next month. Compton, ranked third in the overall World Cup standings, boasts seven World Cup victories and two World Championship medals in her career.

“I’m going in for the win and I’m feeling better every day,” Compton said of the World Championships. “I want to make sure I set myself up to have a great ride at worlds.

“So far, so good.”

Portland area to cash in on his Clydesdale winnings. The 215pounder would go on to dominate the Clydesdale division, winning six out of the eight races in the series.

On Saturday night, Taylor’s attempt at defending his title was thwarted when a punctured tire ended his race early.

Instead, Daimeon Shanks, of Boulder, Colo., a 207-pound rider in a cotton T-shirt cut to sit above his bellybutton, captured the win Saturday. As he crossed the finish line Shanks declared, with hands raised in the air, “I’m king of the fatties!”

Shanks, 30, admitted that he was gunning for the Clydesdale title after having finished second in the race last year. Earlier in the week, he took fifth in the men’s nonchampionship “B” race for riders ages 30 to 39.

“I’m not good at anything except eating and pumping up tires,” Shanks said. “(Winning the Clydesdale race) was definitely my goal.”

Shanks works as a mechanic for the Ralpha-Focus team, and he helped pro rider Chris Jones, of Auburn, Calif., to a top-10 finish in the Elite men’s race on Sunday.

Shanks is originally from Newport on the Oregon Coast, and he promised to return to his home state next fall to race — and to claim his fries. After his all-out, 30-minute effort, Shanks was perspiring despite the chilly air and his sparse attire. He said he was on the verge of throwing up — no doubt the result of some quickly consumed adult beverages following the food offered by spectators to the riders during the race — things like pizza, doughnuts and bacon.

Clydes in Oregon About five years ago, when fields for the men’s B and C categories at Cross Crusade races were growing unmanageably large, race director Brad Ross — himself a Clydesdale — carved out a category for male riders over 200 pounds. Now the Clydesdale division at Cross Crusade series races regularly attracts as many as 100 riders and gives larger riders an opportunity to compete against their super-sized peers. The division is not recognized by USA Cycling and is not offered as a championship in any USA Cycling national championship race.

“It started out as kind of a joke,” said Ross on Sunday, “but it’s turned into one of our biggest fields … literally.”

The inaugural Clydesdale Cyclocross Championship of the Universe, held during the 2009 Cyclocross Nationals in Bend, attracted some 40 riders — most of them in costume — who raced in icy and freezing conditions in front of a boisterous crowd.

On Saturday night, the enthusiasm meter went even higher and the “seriousness will not be tolerated” mantra was in full effect.

More than 60 riders participated in the 30-minute race, including several women — and a

few men dressed as women. Also in the mix were three sets of tandem riders who combined their weights to qualify for entry.

To “register,” each rider reported his or her weight (on the honor system, as the official race scale was broken), and the weight was then written down on a race bib and served as the rider’s race number. Riders were called up at the start line in the order of heaviest to lightest, then they raced four laps on the west half of the national-championship cyclocross course.

A lively crowd lined nearly all of the race course, and in some places onlookers were packed in three and four deep.

I heard one spectator proclaim, “That’s the best bike race I’ve ever been to.”

Letting loose with the big men and women of cyclocross was a fitting end to a week of otherwise serious bike racing. And the unofficial Clydesdale Championship of the Universe, which was unique to the Bend championships, will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Even as the Cyclocross National Championships move to Madison, Wis., the competition for global — universal — supremacy among Clydesdale riders is likely to stay behind in Oregon.

Erratic vehicle drivers are at best annoying and at worst accident-causing hazards.

Behavior that makes a driver predictable on our roadways and streets — such as using turn signals and obeying traffic control signs — is what keeps motorists and cyclists moving along safely. Without that, chaos eventually ensues. The predictability standard we expect out of motorists applies to cyclists on the road as well.

Riding in a predictable manner in many cases is the law and is simply a safer way to travel, says Kim Curley, community outreach director for Commute Options in Bend.

“Predictability really is a simple etiquette that you should always follow on the roadway as any user,” she explains. “If you are unpredictable — weaving side to side in your lane or changing lanes without looking — you are a hazard to yourself and to other people.”

What the rule book says: The Oregon Bicyclist Manual (available at the local department of motor vehicles and at www.oregon.gov) addresses predictable riding at length.

According to the manual, cyclists should ride in a straight line and avoid weaving in and out of parked cars, which makes cyclists less visible to motorists. Cyclists should use hand signals when turning and should stop at stop signs and red lights. The manual urges cyclists at intersections to stay on the road rather than ride in the crosswalk and then suddenly reappear on the road again.

Communicate with other road users: The key to riding predictably is to be engaged in your trip by riding alertly and to communicate your movements with other road users, including other cyclists and pedestrians, Curley says. “I’ve been passed by a bike in a bike lane, and they didn’t call out and it startled me,” she recalls. Curley recommends that cyclists equip their bike with a bell, which will alert other riders when passing.

Cyclists should interact with other users by signaling when turning, which can be communicated by pointing with an extended arm in the direction the rider is turning. Also, obeying stop control devices and riding in the direction of traffic are standards for predictable

riding.

“Vehicles are required by law to use signals, and bikes are vehicles,” Curley maintains. “You’re not being lazy when you don’t signal, you’re breaking the law.

“If we all act the way we’re supposed to,” she continues, “nobody is going to be surprised.”

Riding predictably through a roundabout: Safely entering, riding through and exiting any of Central Oregon’s many roundabouts can be a head-scratcher for both cyclists and motorists.

When approaching a roundabout, do a shoulder check for space, and when it is safe, take the vehicle lane. Once in the vehicle lane, motorists should not attempt to pass. Riders should signal when they are exiting the roundabout and then move back into the bike lane after passing the crosswalk. Cyclists should not use the crosswalk in a roundabout UNLESS they are walking their bikes or traveling at a pedestrian speed.

“The visual cues for the driver (in a roundabout crosswalk) are for someone who is moving slowly,” says Curley. “If you are darting across the crosswalk, you’re not giving the driver enough time to see you.”

Where to find help: Riding erratically on the road or failing to use hand signals are mistakes made not only by inattentive or careless cyclists. Beginner riders may be less confident of their bike-handling skills, and the thought of turning their eyes to the rear while riding, or taking their hands off the handlebars to signal, might be outside their comfort zone. For those riders, the key to riding more confidently may be finding a route better suited to their experience level or practicing on the road at times when traffic is lighter.

“If you want to start commuting and you’re uncomfortable with your route, call Commute Options and we’ll tell you where we ride,” Curley suggests. “Or, get help from a buddy or mentor and go out and try a route on a Saturday or Sunday when it’s not so busy so you can become familiar with it. With anything, practice makes perfect.”
