Rubber to meet road Hikes in gas tax, service fees will fund state projects

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Time to start picking up pennies.

A new 6-cent fuel tax going into effect Jan. 1 will increase the cost of filling up at the pump.

The fuel tax increase is part of the Jobs and Transportation Act passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2009.

It’s one of a slew of fee increases to pay for local and state road repair and new highway projects.

In addition to the fuel tax, the state increased fees for various DMV services like the cost of vehicle title, registration and license plates, as well as increasing taxes and registration fees on heavy vehicles.

The state hopes the fuel tax,

which applies to both gasoline and diesel fuel, will combine with other fee increases already in place to raise up to $300 million per year.

Since 1993, the state’s fuel tax has been 24 cents per gallon. Beginning Jan. 1, the tax will increase to 30 cents per gallon.

The turmoil over the transition in the Deschutes County district attorney’s office is continuing to play out this week, with the county and the incoming district attorney at odds over whether several prosecutors should report to work on Jan. 3.

That is the day District Attorney-elect Patrick Flaherty takes District office.

Attorney-elect On Monday, Patrick FlaFlaherty sent herty wants letters to four several deputy of the 18 curDAs out of the rent deputy office by Dec. district attor31, but the neys informcounty says ing them he they should would not apreport to point them work at least when he takes through Jan. 3. office.

The short letters do not tell the prosecutors why Flaherty chose not to keep them on.

One of those prosecutors, Phil Duong, said he had been told by Flaherty in November that Duong would remain in his job once Flaherty took office. Duong said that until Monday, he had not heard anything more from Flaherty about his job.

The other deputy district attorneys who were notified Monday that they would lose their jobs were Mary Anderson, Jody Vaughan and Brentley Foster, according to the letters obtained by The Bulletin.

Over the summer, Flaherty also sent a letter to Chief Deputy District Attorney Darryl Nakahira informing him that said he did not plan to employ him in the new year.

CROOK COUNTY

Pay drop is worst in West

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Crook County’s 12.5 percent decline in compensation paid to employees in all industries from 2008 to 2009 was the biggest drop reported among the 183 counties in the six-state far West region, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Tuesday.

The BEA reported drops in 125 of the 183 counties in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

The largest increase in industry compensation in the Far West region was 15.8 percent in Lander County, Nev., where two gold mines, Cortez Gold Mining and Newmont Mining Corp., employ about 1,500 of the county’s 5,086 population.

Jason Carr, an economic development director for Crook County, said several factors combined to drive down total wages, including the transfer of Les Schwab Tire Centers corporate headquarters and about 300 of the company’s top management from Prineville to Bend.

Employee compensation Total employee compensation paid to employees in all industries in Crook County peaked and declined earlier than in both Oregon and the U.S.

Special to The Washington Post

We are more naked, as a nation, than we’ve ever been. We are forever baring our souls, revealing the mundane and the sacred. We are naked in our curiosity about the semifamous and the strange, we are naked in our aspirations (to be semi-famous, even for something strange), we are naked online — or, at least, con-

siderably more exposed than we tend to realize.

All of which may help explain why most Americans seem unconcerned about those full-body airport scanESS ners, the ones that see under your clothes.

In an existential sense, we are used to this sort of thing. “Go on — take a gander,” we seem to be saying. “We have nothing to hide.”

Christmas is approaching, and with it travel and more opportunities for Americans to be asked to pass through what the Transportation SecuriA Y ty Administration calls advanced imaging technology and what critics call the “porno-scanners.” If past — and polls — are prologue, most holiday travelers who come face-to-face with the full-body scanners will simply

step in and raise their hands, as they appeared to do just before Thanksgiving, on what was supposed to be the big protest of National Opt-Out Day. To understand why so many of us opt in when confronted by full-body scanners — 99 percent, according to Sterling Payne, a TSA spokeswoman — first consider why a vocal minority opts out.

Stacy L. Pearsall / The Associated Press

A crowd protests Monday’s “Secession Ball,” which commemorated South Carolina’s decision 150 years ago to secede from the United States.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — “Dixie,” that emotionally freighted and muchdebated anthem of the old Confederacy, starts soft when it’s done right, barely above a whisper. But each sotto voce syllable of the opening verse, each feather-light scrape of the fiddle strings, could be heard without straining when the ladies in the hoop skirts and the men in the frock coats rose in reverence to celebrate the 150th anniversary of South Carolina’s secession.

“We are very proud of who we are,” said Chip Limehouse, a South Carolina legislator who rented a historically accurate suit and vest for the formal ball celebrating the anniversary.

“This is in our DNA.” Great-great-great-granddad fought the Yankees, lost his plantation, was bathed in glory, the men and women at the ball like to say. They’re proud of their ancestors, they declare, and that’s why they paid $100 apiece to take part in an event touted as a “joyous night of music, dancing, food and drink.”

Outside Charleston’s municipal auditorium, on an unseasonably chilly Southern night, some of the men and women in a crowd of about 100 were thinking about their own ancestors: slaves who picked the cotton for the forebears and allies of the men and women inside. “Disgusting,” the Rev. Joseph Darby, vice president of the local NAACP chapter, said of the event.

On the street, they lifted protest signs; inside, they lifted drinks with names like “Rebel Yell.”

Elite colleges: Worth the price of admission?

By Jacques Steinberg New York Times News Service

elite private institution, and some evidence suggests this premium has increased over time.”

Grouping colleges by the same tiers of selectivity used in a popular college guidebook, Barron’s, the researchers found that alumni of the most selective colleges earned, on average, 40 percent more a year than those who graduated from the least selective public universities, as calculated 10 years after they graduated from high school.

Those same researchers found in a separate paper that “attendance at an elite private college significantly increases the probability of attending graduate school, and more specifically graduate school at a major research university.”

One major caveat: These studies, which tracked more than 5,000 college graduates, some for more than a decade, are themselves more than a decade old.

As hundreds of thousands of students rush to fill out college applications to meet end-of-theyear deadlines, it might be worth asking them: Is where you spend the next four years of your life that important?

The sluggish economy and rising costs of college have only intensified questions about whether expensive, prestigious colleges make any difference.

Do their graduates make more money? Get into better professional programs? Make better connections? And are they more satisfied with their lives, or at least with their work?

Many college guidance counselors will say, find your own rainbow. But that can sound like pabulum to even the most laidback parent and student.

Answers to such questions cannot be found, typically, in the sort of data churned out annually in the U.S. News & World Report rankings, which tend to focus on Tuition skyrocketing inputs like average SAT scores Over that period, of course, the or college rejection rates.

“Education is a long-run investment,” said Eide, chairman of the economics department at Brigham Young. “It may be more painful to finance right now.

People may be more hesitant to go into debt because of the recession. In my opinion, they should be looking over the long run of their child’s life.”

He added, “I don’t think the costs of college are going up faster than the returns on graduating from an elite private college.”

Still, one flaw in such research has always been that it can be hard to disentangle the impact of the institution from the inherent abilities and personal qualities of the individual graduate. In other words, if someone had been accepted at an elite college, but chose to go to a more pedestrian one, would his earnings over the long term be the same?

In 1999, economists from Princeton and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation looked at some of the same data Eide and his colleagues had used, but crunched them in a different way: They compared students at more selective colleges to others of “seemingly comparable ability,” based on their SAT scores and class rank, who had attended less selective schools, either by choice or because a top college rejected them.

The earnings of graduates in the two groups were about the same — perhaps shifting the ledger in favor of the less expensive, less prestigious route. (The one exception was that children from “disadvantaged family backgrounds” appeared to earn more over time if they attended more selective colleges. The authors, Stacy Berg Dale and Alan Krueger, do not speculate why, but conclude, “These students appear to benefit most from attending a more elite college.”)

Finding satisfaction Earnings, of course, and even graduate school attendance, are but two of many measurements of graduates’ success post-college.

Earlier this year, two labor and education professors from Penn State, along with a sociologist from Claremont Graduate University in California, sought to examine whether graduates from elite colleges were, in general, more satisfied in their work than those who attended less

A bust of President Herbert Hoover, a Stanford graduate, is displayed at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. prestigious institutions.

Writing in April in the Journal of Labor Research, the three researchers argued that “an exclusive focus on the economic outcomes of college graduation, and from prestigious colleges in particular, neglects a host of other employment features.”

Mining a sample of nearly 5,000 recipients of bachelor’s degrees in 1992 and 1993, who were then tracked for nearly a decade, the authors concluded that “job satisfaction decreases slightly as college selectivity moves up.”

One hypothesis by the authors was that the expectations of elite college graduates — especially when it came to earnings — might have been higher, and thus more subject to disappointment, than the expectations of those who graduated from less competitive colleges.

Still, one of those authors, Scott Thomas, a sociologist who is a professor of educational studies at Claremont, said high school students and their parents should take any attempt to apply broad generalizations to such personal choices with a grain of salt.

“Prestige does pay,” Thomas said. “But prestige costs, too. The question is, is the cost less than the added return?”

His answer was one he said he knew families would find maddening: “It depends.”

For example, someone who knew he needed to earn a reliable salary immediately after graduation, and as a result chose to study something practical like business or engineering, might find the cost-benefit analysis tilted in favor of a state school, he said.

“Students from less affluent backgrounds are going to find themselves in situations where college is less about ‘finding themselves,’ and more about skills acquisition and making contacts that will lead straight into the labor market,” Thomas said. For such a student, he said,

a state university, particularly a big one, may also have a large, passionate alumni body. It, in turn, may play a disproportionate role in deciding who gets which jobs in a state in a variety of fields — an old-boy (and, increasingly, old-girl) network that may be less impressed with a job applicant’s Ivy League pedigree.

“If you’ve attended a big state school with a tremendous football program,” Thomas said, “there’s tremendous affinity and good will — whether or not you had anything to do with the football program.”

In the end, some researchers echo that tried-and-perhapseven-true wisdom of guidance counselors: The extent to which one takes advantage of the educational offerings of an institution may be more important, in the long run, than how prominently and proudly that institution’s name is being displayed on the back windows of cars in the nation’s wealthiest enclaves.

Major strengths In this analysis, one’s major — and how it aligns with the departmental strengths of a university — may be more significant than the place in the academic pecking order awarded to that college by the statisticians at U.S. News.

“Everything we know from studying college student experiences and outcomes tells us that there is more variability within schools than between them,” said Alexander McCormick, a former admissions officer at his alma mater, Dartmouth College, and now an associate professor of education at Indiana University at Bloomington.

“This is the irony, given the dominance of the rankings mentality of who’s No. 5 or No. 50,” McCormick added. “The quality of that biology major offered at School No. 50? It may exceed that at School No. 5.”

More U.S. students turn to U.K. universities

Cash-strapped L.A. schools may seek corporate sponsors

By Jennifer Medina New York Times News Service

By Daniel de Vise The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — When Adelaide Waldrop learned that she had been consigned to the wait list at each of the four universities she wanted most to attend, it was as if all the excitement had drained from her collegiate quest.

Then she remembered her wild-card school: the University of St. Andrews, the medieval cobblestone campus in Scotland.

Now Waldrop, of Silver Spring, Md., is a St. Andrews sophomore, one of a growing number of American students who enroll at top-ranked British universities, which offer the prestige of elite U.S. schools at a fraction of the cost.

The population of U.S. undergraduates at United Kingdom schools has spiked 30 percent in five years, to 3,560 in the 200809 academic year, the most recent figure available from Britain’s Higher Education Statistics Agency. It’s a trend driven by price, prestige and — in the case of St. Andrews — a prince.

St. Andrews, founded in 1413, is two centuries older than Harvard. It is the birthplace of golf — and of the romance between Prince William and his fiancee, Kate Middleton.

Michael S. Williamson / Washington Post

In the kitchen at his Potomac, Md., home, Kajetan Malachowski, 17, goes through correspondence with various colleges. He has applied to five schools in Britain.

“It’s just so magical walking around St. Andrews, with all of the history,” said Waldrop, 19.

“After visiting, I kind of just forgot about my other schools.”

Waldrop is paying $19,670 in tuition this year at St. Andrews.

Tuition at Swarthmore College, where she was wait-listed, is $39,260.

“We are considerably less than the very good privates that you have in the United States,” said Stephen Magee, vice principal of St. Andrews. “And in that sense, we think we’re a very good value.”

The small community of collegiate expatriates is populated heavily with students from the New York-Washington corridor and California, British higher education officials say.

U.K. universities have emerged as a worthy consolation prize for students rebuffed by Ivy League schools. Much of the interest focuses on Scotland, whose fouryear collegiate model closely resembles the American under-

graduate experience. (English universities, by contrast, graduate students in three years and stress specialization over general education.)

“If you just fail to get in at Harvard, we’re happy to have you at St. Andrews,” Magee said, “because it means you’re bloody good.”

U.K. universities routinely send recruiters to U.S. high schools. The era of online admissions enables students to apply to schools in St. Louis and Edinburgh with similar ease. Social networking has created a new platform for students overseas to share pictures and stories with friends back home.

“I think universities internationally are trying to compete for American students in a way that they never have before,” said Jim Jump, guidance director at St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Va., and former president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling. His school hosted recruiters from the U.K. this fall.

LOS ANGELES — The football field at a public school here, in the second-largest school district in the country, soon may be brought to students by Nike.

Facing another potential round of huge budget cuts, the Los Angeles school board unanimously approved a plan last week to allow the district to seek corporate sponsorships as a way to get money to the schools.

The district is not the first to look for private dollars as a way to close public budget gaps — districts in Sheboygan, Wis., and Midland, Texas, for example, have offered up naming rights for their stadiums for years. But the Los Angeles school district is by far the largest to do so, and officials say the plan could generate as much as $18 million for the schools.

In the past three years, the Los Angeles Unified School District has cut $1.5 billion from its operating budget, now down to $5.4 billion. As recently as last month, 1,000 more employees lost their jobs in layoffs.

And Gov.-elect Jerry Brown suggested at a budget forum that schools could expect more drastic cuts when he presents a new state budget next month.

“This is our way to be responsive to that reality; we need to look for other sources of revenue,” said Melissa Infusino, the director of partnerships for the district. “As uncomfortable as it may be for folks, it’s less com-

fortable to get rid of programs or go through more layoffs.”

As they discussed the proposal at last week’s meeting, several board members expressed distaste for the idea of opening up schools to business, but concluded that there was no other way.

“The implications of us doing this are really disconcerting and really bothers me to my core,” said Steve Zimmer, who said he reluctantly favored the plan.

“The reality is public funding is not funding public education.”

Continuing the budget cuts “would just be a massacre” for public education in the city, he said.

All money generated through the sponsorships will go to the district’s general fund, although they will be earmarked to finance athletic, arts or academic programs at the donor’s request.

In a one-page summary pitch to potential sponsors, the district mentions the possibility of arranging school visits to pass out samples of approved food products or placing the donors’ logos in school cafeterias. Or perhaps they might rather have the naming rights for the Academic Decathlon or Drill Team championships.

While the district will soon begin enthusiastically pitching the sponsorships to local businesses and major corporations, they are making it clear that they have their limits. No alcohol, tobacco or firearms can be promoted. No companies that promote high-calorie or highfat foods will get play, either.

T S Obama hails achievements of ‘most productive’ Congress After passing arms treaty, ‘don’t ask’ repeal, president to push immigration reform

Wyden votes for treaty 2 days after surgery

Bulletin wire reports WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama wrapped up an unexpectedly productive and politically successful lameduck session of Congress on Wednesday with a sweeping assessment of his achievements.

He pronounced a new START pact with Russia “the most significant arms control agreement in nearly two decades” and said economists “across the political spectrum” agreed the deal he struck with Republicans to extend Bush-era tax cuts would speed economic growth.

All in all, Obama concluded, this was “the most productive post-election period we’ve had in decades” and “the most productive two years that we’ve had in generations.”

But even as he trumpeted his accomplishments at a news conference intended to showcase what his aides cast as a political revival, Obama grew most animated about the one that got away: his failure to win enough support to pass the Dream Act, which would have allowed some children of illegal immigrants to gain citizenship.

“Maybe my biggest disappointment was this Dream Act vote,” he said. He added later that he intended to seek Republican support and take the case to the public for a broader immigration overhaul.

“One thing I hope people have seen during this lame duck — I am persistent,” the president said after a reporter asked whether he would continue to push the immigration measure next year. “If I believe in something strongly, I stay on it. And I believe strongly in this.”

Pablo Martinez Monsivais / The Associated Press

President Barack Obama laughs during a news conference at the White House Wednesday.

Bipartisanship is possible Obama suggested the legislation passed this month demonstrated that bipartisanship is possible in Washington. “We are not doomed to endless gridlock,” he said.

Yet his remarks on immigration and other issues — including a vow to continue fighting Republicans, who want to permanently extend tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans — underscored the struggles ahead for him next year when Republicans return with renewed strength in the Senate and a majority in the House.

Republicans challenged the idea that Obama had gotten the upper hand. They said the key victories — the START agreement and the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays serving openly in the military — had bipartisan support before the lame-duck session began. The GOP also successfully blocked a major budget bill and won an extension of tax cuts on the highest incomes.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said his top political goal in the new Congress will be Obama’s defeat in 2012.

Italian students protest planned university changes

By Rachel Donadio and Gaia Pianigiani New York Times News Service

ROME — Tens of thousands of students took to the streets Wednesday to protest planned changes in the university system but stayed away from the historic center here, much of which had been cordoned off by the police to avoid a repeat of last week’s violent demonstrations.

The protest turned out to be peaceful, allaying widespread fears, as thousands marched from the city’s main university, La Sapienza, steering clear of the historic center but blocking traffic on a main highway.

Other protests in Palermo and Milan turned violent, with skirmishes between demonstrators and the police. In Turin, students occupied a landmark building.

In Rome, some protesters carried fake Christmas presents labeled with politically minded holiday wishes — “Social welfare for students and temporary workers,” one read — to oppose what they said were cuts to

Italy’s famously dysfunctional universities.

In the previous protests, held on same the day that Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi narrowly survived a confidence vote, the police used tear gas on demonstrators who smashed shop windows and burned cars in the worst violence in downtown Rome in years. The center-right government blamed the left for the violence and warned of a return to 1970s-style political violence.

While critics said such claims were overblown, there is a palpable and growing sense of frustration among young people in Italy, where youth unemployment averages 25 percent. As they marched in Rome on Wednesday, students shouted, “We don’t want to pay for the crisis,” referring to the financial crisis that has turned Italy’s troubled labor market from bad to worse.

“Where do I see my future?

Certainly not in this country,” said one protester, Morgana Proietti, 22, expressing a common sentiment.

Wary of industry, administration defends stance on polar bears

By Neela Banerjee Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — A dispute about how much the government should protect polar bears has turned into a battleground for environmentalists and some of the country’s most powerful business organizations over the larger question of global warming.

On Wednesday, the Interior Department filed arguments in federal court defending its decision to classify polar bears as “threatened” rather than “endangered” despite widespread shrinkage of the sea ice that forms the bears’ natural habitat.

What makes the issue so sensitive is that, if polar bears received the stricter endangered classification, the Obama administration would be pressured to attack the problem at its source: the petroleum, coal and manufacturing companies that emit the greenhouse gases scientists say are a

major factor in climate change.

“There is a pronounced pushback from industry because they rightly see that they will have to modify or mitigate their activities to comply with the laws,” said Andrew Wetzler, director of the Land and Wildlife program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the environmental groups suing to change the polar bear’s status.

In early 2009, the Obama administration pledged to revisit several controversial environmental decisions made under George W. Bush — including the polar bear’s status. But months later, Obama’s Interior Department ratified the bears’ “threatened” classification.

Although the Obama administration has moved steadily to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, now the White House has been trying not to provoke policy battles with wary businesses.

PORTLAND — Sen. Ron Wyden got out of the hospital following surgery for prostate cancer and walked onto the floor of the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C., to cast his vote in favor of the new strategic arms-control treaty with Russia.

Spokesman Tom Towslee says the Oregon Democrat decided Wednesday that establishing a new arms control treaty with Russia, called START, was, “more important than a little discomfort.”

Towslee says the 61-year-old Wyden is doing fine after surgery Monday at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore.

Wyden went to his home in the District of Columbia, then to the Senate to cast his vote, and then back home again.

The treaty passed by a vote of 71-26.

Congress approves health bill for 9/11 first responders After years of fierce lobbying and debate, Congress approved a bill Wednesday to cover the cost of medical care for rescue workers and others who became sick from toxic fumes, dust and smoke after the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

The $4.3 billion bill cleared its biggest hurdle Wednesday afternoon when the Senate unexpectedly approved it just 12 days after Republican senators had blocked a more expensive House version from coming to the floor of the Senate for a vote.

In recent days, Republican senators had been under fire for their opposition to the legislation.

A month after attack, S. Korea holds huge drills

By Foster Klug Associated Press

POCHEON, South Korea — South Korean tanks fired artillery early today as the army and air force held its largest air and ground drills of the year in a show of force a month after North Korea’s deadly shelling of a front-line island.

The drills, taking place at training grounds in mountainous Pocheon near the Koreas’ heavily fortified border, signaled South Korea’s determination to demonstrate and hone its military strength at the risk of further escalation with North Korea.

Vulcan artillery vehicles fired into a wide valley with numbers carved onto hills below as the army and air force launched the drills at 2:42 p.m. about 20 miles from the North Korean border.

They are the armed forces’ largest joint firing exercises this year, and the biggest-ever wintertime air and ground firing exercises, government and army officials said on condition of anonymity, citing department rules.

Exactly one month ago, routine South Korean live-fire drills from Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea triggered a shower of North Korean artillery that killed two marines and two construction workers. It was the first military attack on

a civilian area since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce.

North Korea, which claims the waters around the South Korean-held island lying 7 miles from its shores as its territory, accused the South of sparking the exchange by ignoring Pyongyang’s warnings against staging the live-fire drills near their disputed maritime border.

Amid international concerns of all-out war on the tense Korean peninsula, South Korea has pushed ahead with military exercises over the past several weeks, including live-fire drills from Yeonpyeong Island and Monday’s land-based exercises.

Thursday’s drills will be the largest-scale firing exercise jointly staged by South Korea’s army and air force this year, and the biggest-ever wintertime air and ground firing exercises, government and army officials said on condition of anonymity citing department rules.

Forty-seven similar exercises have taken place this year but Thursday’s maneuvers were scheduled in response to the North Korean attack, according to army officials.

“We will thoroughly punish the enemy if it provokes us again as with the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island,” Brig. Gen. Ju Eun-sik, chief of the South Korean army’s 1st Armored Brigade, said.

2 Chicago firefighters die when roof collapses

By Joel Hood, Annie Sweeney and Stacy St. Clair Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — At daybreak Wednesday, Corey Ankum and Edward Stringer were among the Chicago firefighters quelling a blaze in an abandoned building when the roof gave way, trapping them inside.

Ankum and Stringer died and more than a dozen firefighters were injured on the 100th anniversary of the city’s most devastating fire.

Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said both firefighters died of trauma. Ankum had been with the department less than two years; Stringer, about 12 years.

In all, 19 firefighters suffered injuries, Chicago Fire Commissioner Robert Hoff said Wednesday afternoon at a news conference. He said the injuries of those who survived were not considered

Fossils in Siberia were cousins of Neanderthals

By Carl Zimmer New York Times News Service

An international team of scientists has identified a previously shadowy human group known as the Denisovans as cousins to Neanderthals who lived in Asia from roughly 400,000 to 50,000 years ago and interbred with the ancestors of today’s inhabitants of New Guinea.

All the Denisovans have left behind are a broken finger bone and a wisdom tooth in a Siberian cave. But the scientists have succeeded in extracting the entire genome of the Denisovans from these scant remains. An analysis of this ancient DNA, published Wednesday in Nature, reveals that the genomes of people from New Guinea contain 4.8 percent Denisovan DNA. An earlier, incomplete analysis of Denisovan DNA had placed the group as more distant from both Neanderthals and humans.

On the basis of the new findings, the scientists propose that the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans emerged from Africa half a million years ago. The Neanderthals spread westward, settling in the Near East and Europe. The Denisovans headed east. Some 50,000 years ago, they interbred with humans expanding from Africa along the coast of South Asia, bequeathing some of their DNA to them.

The research was led by Dr. Svante Paabo, a geneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. Paabo and his colleagues have pioneered methods for rescuing fragments of ancient DNA from fossils and stitching them together. In May, for example, they published a complete Neanderthal genome.

Analyzing the Neanderthal genome, Paabo and his colleagues concluded that humans and Neanderthals descended from common ancestors that lived 600,000 years ago.

But the scientists also found that 2.5 percent of the Neanderthal genome is more similar to the DNA of living Europeans and Asians than to African DNA. From this evidence they concluded that Neanderthals interbred with humans soon after they emerged from Africa roughly 50,000 years ago.

Paabo’s success with European Neanderthal fossils inspired him and his colleagues to look farther afield. They began to work with Dr. Anatoli Derevianko of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who explores Siberian caves in search of fossils of hominins, formerly known has hominids, (species more closely related to living humans than to chimpanzees, our closest living relatives).

Last year, Derevianko and his colleagues sent Paabo a nondescript fragment of a finger bone from a cave called Denisova.

Derevianko thought that the fossil, which is at least 50,000 years old, might have belonged to one of the earliest humans to live in Siberia.

Paabo and his colleagues isolated a small bundle of DNA from the bone’s mitochondria, the energy-generating structures within our cells.

life-threatening.

Hoff said firefighters were in the building and on the roof, searching for hot spots and whether anyone was inside, when the roof collapsed. The two who died were inside the building, he said.

“The search effort was aggressive. Two members were found immediately,” Hoff said. “Every firefighter that was there did the best they could to save their brothers.

Hoff said officials decided to search inside the building because “people in this kind of weather seek refuge, and we take no building as being vacant. We do it cautiously, but we go in for people who may try to get out of the cold.”

Hoff said there was “no indication to the chief officers and company officers at the scene that (the roof) was in danger of collapse.

That’s when we make our decision to go in and do a search.”

Continued from A1 Then Tuesday, Deschutes County sent e-mails to the four deputy district attorneys and Nakahira informing them that until formal termination action is taken by the District Attorney, they remain on the payroll and are expected to observe county policy regarding hours of work and reporting time.

And on Wednesday, Flaherty sent another letter to the prosecutors, telling them their jobs will end on Dec. 31. The deputy district attorneys should clean out their offices and return any government property issued to them

by Dec. 30, because they will no longer have access to the District Attorney’s Office, Flaherty wrote.

However, Flaherty does not yet have the authority to terminate the employment of people working in the District Attorney’s Office, according to the county.

“I expect that all of them will show up for work on (Jan. 3),” Deschutes County Legal Counsel Mark Pilliod said of the deputy district attorneys.

“Basically they pay the tax and (consumers) pay them back,” Thompson said.

Continued from A1 ODOT Spokesman Dave Thompson said the fuel tax has remained the same for 17 years even as inflation has risen and cars have become more efficient.

“So if the gas tax is supposed to be a user fee for damage caused by driving, it is not a very good one right now,” he said. “It has lost its direct connection as cars have become more efficient. That’s great for the environment but it’s not so good for roads. They’re doing a similar amount of damage but paying less for it.”

The state taxes the fuel distributors, and stations report the amount of gas received to the state; filling stations will in turn pass the increase in cost along to consumers.

Increase at the pump remains to be seen But it’s unclear for now just how much of an increase drivers will see at the pump.

“So they will change their prices on Jan. 1, but what they change it to is a darn good question,” Thompson said.

AAA Spokeswoman Marie Dodds said some gas stations may increase prices per gallon by 6 cents on Jan. 1. Others may handle the increase differently.

“It will kind of depend on how individual stations decide to implement it,” she said.

“Some may raise their rate by 6 cents, others will take a bite out of profits instead and raise it more slowly. It really will depend on the operator and where

Flaherty did not return calls for comment.

The deputy district attorneys have formed a union, which approved a contract that includes a just cause provision that would dictate how and why they could be disciplined or fired. The union’s interest in the provision arose because of Flaherty’s election and his plans to dismiss some prosecutors. The union pushed for the Deschutes County Commission to vote on whether to ratify the agreement by the end of the year. Last week, the commission voted unanimously to delay that decision until Jan. 12.

Now, that decision may also be up in the air, because two county commissioners said Wednesday they might discuss on Monday whether to vote on the contract before January.

“We should talk about it,” Commissioner Alan Unger said Wednesday. Unger said he would reflect on what to do over Christmas weekend, because the commission is running out of time to change course before January.

Commissioner Dennis Luke said he would be happy to reopen the discussion, if the other two

commissioners want to do so.

“From the discussion that I had with the county administrator today, he’s going to give the (County Commission) the opportunity to talk about that in executive session on Monday,” Luke said.

Commissioner Tammy Baney could not be reached for comment. She said last week it wouldn’t be right to make a final decision without hearing from Flaherty in his official capacity as district attorney.

After the commissioners decided last week to delay the vote, an attorney for two of the deputy district attorneys Flaherty plans to let go sent a letter to the county, asking officials to reconsider.

Attorney Andrew Altschul asked the county to “take any and all additional actions necessary to prevent Mr. Flaherty from illegally terminating any County employees.”

Altschul also informed the county that it must maintain his clients’ employment records and other documents and communications related to the dispute, in case there is a lawsuit.

“While my clients and I remain cautiously optimistic that they will remain properly employed

even after Mr. Flaherty officially assumes his District Attorney role, given the recent actions described above, it seems prudent to make sure no evidence is inadvertently lost while we wait to see how everything plays out,” Altschul wrote.

Flaherty and Deschutes County commissioners have acknowledged that the county is likely to face legal action in any situation.

Altschul argued in the letter that if the county delayed a vote on the ratification of the contract in order to “help facilitate Mr. Flaherty’s forthcoming illegal terminations,” the county would be liable for those firings.

Baney’s recent comments suggest that was a motive, according to Altschul.

“I genuinely am sort of baffled by the county’s failure to ratify the collective bargaining agreement, although I still hold out extremely slim hope they’ll do so by the end of the year, because ratifying that makes this all disappear,” Altschul said.

they’re located and how often they take gas deliveries.”

Dodds said smaller markets, where gas isn’t delivered very often, may increase their gas prices immediately.

Thompson estimated the average driver uses between 525 and 600 gallons of gasoline or diesel fuel each year. That translates to between $31.50 and $36 each year in increased costs at the gas station.

He said he knows some Oregonians may be surprised by the increase.

“The fact that it was passed one and a half years ago but it’s just taking effect,” he said, “there’s a sticker shock, and it’s completely understandable that people might be upset and curious.”

He pointed to the change in cost for services like cable television and movie tickets over the same 17-year period.

“It is one of those things that 6 cents sounds like a lot, but when you do add it up isn’t significant for most people,” Dodds said. “Is it a pain? ...

Nobody likes paying more for gas.”

First, it will pay $2 million of the repaving costs for U.S. Highway 97 between the Crooked River Bridge and the Redmond reroute. That project was completed in 2009, but funds raised through the fuel tax and other revenues will help pay for the work.

Second, the funds will pay for the second phase of the Redmond reroute, reconstructing Sixth Street between Deschutes and Jackpine avenues.

That project is slated for 2012.

And third, the funds from the gas tax will pay for $25 million of the projected $45 million cost to extend Murphy Road from Third Street to Brookswood Boulevard and construct a crossing over U.S. Highway 97.

“I think the 2009 Legislature recognized that our roads are in a state of terrible disrepair,” she said. “Had we kept up with this better, we might not be in a situation where we see a large increase like this. In the end it’s not a significant amount.”

After freeze ends, Israeli settlement-building booms

By Ethan Bronner New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM — In the three months since Israel ended its settlement construction freeze in the West Bank, causing the Palestinians to withdraw from peace talks, a settlement-building boom has begun, especially in more remote communities that are least likely to be part of Israel after any two-state peace deal.

This means that if negotiations ever get back on track, there will be thousands more Israeli settlers who will have to relocate into Israel, posing new problems

EPA urges testing for hexavalent chromium

By Lyndsey Layton The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency is suggesting that water utilities nationwide test their drinking water for hexavalent chromium, a probable carcinogen, after an independent survey released earlier this week found the chemical in tap water drawn from 31 cities, including Bend.

A sample drawn last spring from the Avion Water Co. system — which serves approximately 10,820 residential customers in southeast Bend and 1,316 commercial, irrigation and fire protection customers — measured hexavalent chromium at 0.78 parts per billion, 13 times above a proposed California standard for hexavalent chromium in drinking water. But Avion has questioned the findings, saying the water samples submitted for the study may have been compromised The EPA said Wednesday that it is issuing guidance to the utilities explaining how to test for the chemical but is not requiring tests at this time. The agency said it will also give technical help to the 31 cities identified in the survey so they can set up a monitoring and sampling procedure for hexavalent chromium, a chemical made famous by the film “Erin Brockovich.”

George Hawkins, the general manager of D.C. Water, said his agency will follow the guidance issued by the EPA. “If additional testing needs to be taken to make sure that what we’re doing is protective of public health, that’s what we’ll do,” he said.

Testing for hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium 6, is technically challenging. Many laboratories that handle standard tests for water companies are not equipped to perform the more sophisticated tests.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson met Tuesday with 10 senators representing some of the 31 communities to discuss the findings of the survey, which was conducted by the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization.

Guantanamo closing set back in Congress

By Charlie Savage New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Congress voted Wednesday to impose strict new limits on transferring detainees out of the Guantanamo Bay prison, dealing a major blow to President Barack Obama’s vows to shut down the center and give federal court trials to many of the prisoners.

The Guantanamo provisions were contained in a major defense authorization bill, which both chambers passed on the last day of Congress’ lame-duck session. It is considered highly unlikely that Obama will veto the bill because it also authorizes billions in spending for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Robert M. Chesney, a University of Texas law professor who specializes in national security matters, said the legislation would make it even harder to close the prison, at the U.S. military base in Cuba.

over how to accommodate them while creating a Palestinian state on the land where many of them are living now.

In addition to West Bank settlement-building, construction for predominantly Jewish housing in East Jerusalem, where the Palestinians hope to make their future capital, has been rapidly growing after a break of half a year, with hundreds of units approved and thousands more planned.

On a tour of West Bank construction sites, Dror Etkes, an anti-settlement advocate who has spent the past nine years

chronicling their growth, said he doubted whether there had been such a burst in settlement construction in at least a decade.

Hagit Ofran, a settlement opponent who monitors their growth for Peace Now, said there were 2,000 housing units being built now and a total of 13,000 in the pipeline that did not require additional permits. In each of the past three years, about 3,000 units have been built.

While government data on the building will not be published until the new year, settler leaders did not contradict these assessments.

Palestinian leaders have said they will not return to peace talks with Israel as long as settlement construction occurs. Israel has replied that the sooner talks get started, the sooner settlements and other areas of dispute can be solved.

The Obama administration is trying to negotiate with each side in hopes of finding common ground. The Palestinians are also planning to submit to the United Nations Security Council a resolution condemning settlement construction.

Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, Benja-

min Netanyahu, said that since the 10-month building moratorium ended in September, the government had been sticking to building only in existing settlements and had not expropriated more land for settlements.

Settlement opponents disagree, saying that the larger the settler population, the more resources — water, roads, security — will be needed for them and the harder it will be to get Israelis to agree to a Palestinian state. Moreover, much of the new building is deep in the West Bank.

In the West Bank, most of

Secession Continued from A1 The stubborn inside-outside face-off that throttled this jewel of a Southern city Monday night hints at dramas to come, an unending series of Civil War anniversaries stretching from secession and the firing on Fort Sumter to the laying down of arms at Appomattox.

For the next 4½ years — the span of the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history — Americans black and white will have ample opportunities to wrestle with delicate, almost-impossible-to-resolve questions of legacy and history, of what to commemorate and what to condemn.

South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union, but the commemoration will be followed by similar events in other states — parades and balls and speeches and plaques. The anniversaries will press current politicians to tiptoe through minefields of nuance.

Charleston Mayor Joe Riley called the Secession Ball “unfortunate” and “the opposite of unifying,” but several bigname lawmakers not only attended, but donned costumes to do so. The emotions of the day were on display at a ceremony dedicating a historical marker about the secession.

Someone in the audience yelled “You’re a liar” when Riley told the crowd that South Carolinians were motivated to secede, in part, by a desire to preserve slavery. Riley has invited President Barack Obama to narrate portions of Abraham Lincoln’s greatest speeches in an observance of the firing on Fort Sumter, though it’s unclear whether he will accept.

When Lincoln’s name was mentioned at the Secession Ball’s theatrical performance, a re-enactment of South Car-

Dressed in period clothing, Lynn Charles, right, helps direct guests of the Ordinance of Secession Gala find their seats at the Gaillard Auditorium in Charleston, S.C., on Monday. olina’s secession convention that drew from historical documents, the actors hissed. “Impeach,” one of the actors called out. Lincoln and the North were responsible for “vulgar tyranny,” the actors said.

A narrator intoned that the 169 South Carolina men who voted unanimously to secede were “compelled by the same sublime courage” as the men who fought against Britain in the Revolutionary War the century before.

Slavery was mentioned, but the main reasons for secession were portrayed as high tariffs and Northern states using Southern tax money to build their own infrastructure.

The star of the show, playing the convention president, is one of South Carolina’s most powerful present-day politicians, state Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell, a Confederate heritage defender who owns a Civil War memorabilia business.

The guests, enthusiasts in tuxedos, flouncy skirts or militia uniforms, sashayed from the cavernous theater into a party room where images of huge Confederate battle flags were projected on the wall. Two black police officers leaned glumly against a wall in the hallway as the predominantly white crowd filed past.

Guests picked at ham and biscuits while a string band with a defiant name — Un-Reconstructed — played waltzes and the Virginia reel.

Many in the crowd are members of “Secession Camps,” small groups of Civil War history buffs collected under the banner of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

And there were the battle re-enactors. Their intricate uniforms, with brass buttons and braiddraped epaulets, can cost upward of $1,000 each.

Chip Limehouse, a parking company owner who represents Berkeley and Charleston counties in the South Carolina House of Representatives, grinned when asked about the protests. “They actually helped ticket sales,” he said of the protestors. “We’d like to thank them. Without them, we wouldn’t have made budget.”

the building in recent years has been in large settlements relatively close to Israel that are widely expected to be annexed

by Israel by swapping land elsewhere in a future deal. These include the large settlements of Maale Adumim, the Gush Etzion block, Betar Illit and Modiin Illit.

Building in those areas generally requires government tenders, and those have been slower in coming lately. The intense recent growth has been more in private building, mostly in smaller and more remote settlements.

John Hines, a wealthy Texas oilman and cattle rancher, helped, too. He sent a $5,000 sponsorship for the affair because he loves the Old South: “They created a society far and above anything else on Earth.”

The central argument both inside and outside the auditorium is the same one that enlivened the Charleston mayor’s news conference earlier in the day: the role of slavery in the decision to secede.

A favorite citation of the crowd at the ball comes from Charles Dickens. “He said, ‘The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states,’ ” said John Zebelean, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel from Baltimore who attended the ball. “It’s all there! You can look it up.”

Darby, the NAACP vice president, spent much of the day talking about documents drafted during the secession commission that mention slavery repeatedly and cite it as a prime motivating factor. But the point, he said, is not merely a matter of historical contention. Celebrating secession, he says, contributes to an atmosphere of inequality in present-day South Carolina, where fights over the quality of education and job opportunities for African Americans still simmer. Reminders of secession are everywhere. In Charleston, there’s a Secessionville Road; in Beaufort, there’s a Secession Golf Club.

Darby says that the day before the ball, he ran into a white man whose ancestor was one of the signers of the secession ordinance; the man was “distressed” about the ball and had no plans to attend. They got to talking about their bloodlines, and the man mentioned the name of the signer: Artemus Darby. In those days it was common for slaves to take the names of their masters.

“I looked at him and said, ‘Hello, cousin,’ ” Darby said.

Pay Continued from A1 “This (2009) was the first full year without those (Les Schwab) paychecks,” Carr said.

In a county with a 2009 estimated population of 22,566, Carr said the loss of that many management-level positions is bound to significantly reduce the total wages paid countywide.

However, Carr said the actual impact on Crook County may be less dramatic than it appears from the decline in compensation numbers because many of the Les Schwab management staff still live in Crook County.

So while they’re collecting their paychecks in Deschutes County, their income is still supporting Crook County’s tax base and being spent in businesses in Prineville and the surrounding area.

Declines in management compensation numbers reported by BEA also reflect the loss of management jobs.

The BEA report shows management compensation in Crook County fell from $6.5 million in 2007 to $5.8 million in 2008 to less than $4.9 million in 2009.

Reductions in the construction sector, and in manufacturing of wood products and durable goods, also contributed to the overall decline in compensation, Carr said.

According to the BEA report, total compensation paid to workers in all industries in Crook County fell from nearly $269 million in 2008 to $235 million in 2009, which is the lowest level in seven years, when the compensation also totaled $235 million.

Over the past decade, total compensation across Crook County rose every year from 1999 through 2006, going from $216 million in 1990 to $314 million in 2006. That was followed by a drop back to $275 million in 2007, according to the BEA report.

From 1999 through 2003, construction industry compensation totals fluctuated between $7.3 million and $7.8 million, then peaked at $20.7 million in 2007.

In 2008, the construction industry’s total compensation dipped to $18.2 million, then plunged to $9.9 million in 2009, according to

Scanners Continued from A1 “I simply do not trust the TSA to keep those images private,” says Boston area columnist and TV commentator Michele McPhee, who in November chose one of those enhanced pat-downs over a full-body scanner at Logan International Airport. “The last thing I want is my naked image all over the place in Boston.”

The fear of being exposed is a theme that comes up constantly in interviews with those suspicious of full-body scanners.

That’s not the only thing they talk about, of course; they talk about government intrusion and constitutional rights, about health concerns over scanner radiation, about the ways in which they see airport security as reactive, ineffective. They talk about the building indignities of airplane travel.

They talk about control and the sense of having to choose between two unhappy options, the scanner or the pat-down.

But most of all they talk about a sense of privacy squandered, a sense of being vulnerable in deeply personal terms. They use the word “humiliating” a lot, and the word “dignity.” Exposure is an elemental fear, after all, as anyone who has sweated through a naked dream can attest.

Despite the TSA’s assurances about advanced imaging technology — that the scanned images are blurred by a “privacy algorithm,” that the images can’t be leaked because they’re automatically deleted by the machines after being evaluated remotely, that the officers evaluating them aren’t allowed to bring cameras or cellphones that could reproduce the images - there are still, for some, lurking suspicions about what they call a virtual strip search.

It might be that even — or perhaps especially — in a confessional age, there is something alarming about being unclothed in public, even if it’s only in a virtual sense, even if a stranger in a remote room is the only one privy to one’s nakedness. If you go through one of the new scanners you are bargaining, giving up your privacy in exchange for security or expediency or other things. If one doesn’t buy this premise, doesn’t believe full-body scanners are a good bargain, then one is being exposed against one’s will. And to be naked is to be unprepared and unprotected, to be uniquely defenseless against criticism and attack.

There is the fear of not being attractive or of being too attractive,

Compensation of employees by county From 2008 to 2009, Crook County posted a 12.5 percent decline in total compensation paid to employees in all industries — the largest decline of any county in the six Western states, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Statistics.

the BEA. While the wood products industry compensation also declined, from $38.7 million in 2008 to $28.4 million in 2009, John Shelk, managing partner at Ochoco Lumber in Prineville, said his company last operated a lumber mill in Crook County in 2001, when lumber and wood products compensation totaled $43.6 million.

Because there haven’t been any lumber mills operating in Crook County since 2001, the decline in wood products manufacturing compensation reported for the county from 2008 to 2009 could only be in secondary wood products such as doors and window frames, Shelk said.

“By that time (2008-2009) all the primary sawmills were gone.

They were shut down,” Shelk said.

However, Carolyn Eagan, regional economist with the Oregon Employment Department, said lumber mills’ closure has had a domino effect on wages in Crook County.

Eagan said many of the work-

ers who earned $20 to $25 per hour in the mills transitioned into construction, where they made that much or more until the national mortgage lending crisis caused the housing and construction industries to crash in 2008.

This time around, there are no good-paying jobs for workers with those skills to move into, so many are no longer collecting paychecks counted in the BEA report, Eagan said.

She said the county’s secondary wood products manufacturers have tried hard to keep from laying off workers during the economic downturn by reducing hours, but that also drags down the total compensation number for that industry.

“What has happened with this recession, especially in construction and manufacturing, is you have a lot of employees working 30 hours instead of 40. That’s why it is a jobless recovery,” Eagan said. “Companies aren’t going to start hiring again until they get all of those part-time workers back up to full time.”

Carr said construction of Face-

book’s data center began this year in Crook County, but that data won’t show up in the compensation report until next year.

“Facebook is in the process of hiring employees to work in the data center now, so wages for those jobs will show up next year,” Carr said.

He said Facebook’s plans call for hiring 30 to 40 people initially to work in the data center, which will help, but won’t make up for the 300 Les Schwab jobs that moved to Bend, or the decline in construction and wood products manufacturing jobs.

Eagan said wood products employment in Crook County, at 570 jobs, is less than half of the 1,500 employed in the industry in 2001.

Carr and Eagan said they don’t see any new industries on the horizon to replace the 870 jobs lost between wood products manufacturing and the Les Schwab headquarters move.

“Facebook has talked about expanding, but that is dependent on boosting the area’s power supply,” Carr said, referencing data centers’ significant power needs.

Shelk said reviving the wood products industry offers the greatest hope of bringing good-paying jobs back to Crook County.

After 30 years of legal battles that shut down most logging on federal lands, he is hopeful that Gov.-elect John Kitzhaber, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and other political leaders will succeed in their efforts to get environmentalists, timber companies and federal land managers to agree on a sustainable harvest from federal timber lands in Central and Eastern Oregon.

Until that happens, he said there won’t be a revival of the region’s timber industry, whether the housing market improves or not.

“In Central and Eastern Oregon, lack of supply killed the timber industry, and there’s no chance of it coming back until the supply issue is resolved,” Shelk said. “What gives me hope is the fact that everyone on every side of the issue, except for a few

fringe groups, recognizes that the hands-off polices have created massive forest health problems.

“We all recognize that without management, the trees will continue to deteriorate with insect infestations, fuel loading and catastrophic fires,” Shelk said.

“Ten years ago, I never thought we’d get to this point where we could agree on anything, but I think we all pretty much agree that active management is needed to keep the forests from burning up, and with the economic situation and budget cuts, people realize the government doesn’t have a bunch of money to go out and hire people to go through the forests and just clear out the brush and little trees under 3 inches in diameter,” Shelk said. “To pay for thinning, there needs to be an element of commercial timber harvest, and I think everyone is beginning to recognize that.”

of being ridiculed or ogled. There is the fear that all the things we do to smooth and minimize ourselves, all of the adornments that contribute to the formation of our public selves, are undone by a fullbody scanner, that we will be seen in all our secret ugliness.

As the TSA adds more scanners and more fliers come into contact with them, it seems unlikely the vocal minority that objects to them will disappear. On FlyerTalk’s message boards, frequent fliers compile lists of which terminals at which airports have full-body scanners, the better to avoid them. “The sheep being herded to slaughter,” one frequent poster writes of those who submit to the new technology.

Recently, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced legislation that would make it illegal to record or distribute the images taken by the machines. Meanwhile, in a nod to modesty and privacy, the TSA is testing a type of software that would convert all scanner images to what TSA spokeswoman Payne calls “a standard generic figure,” while still highlighting what the agency likes to call “anomalies.”

You can see the opt-outers as cranky outliers or as the nation’s conscience, and perhaps the truth is somewhere in between.

Because even for the majority of people who don’t agree with them, their protest should be instructive.

It tells us a lot about how our culture’s relationship with privacy has changed.

The use of technology to intrude on people’s private lives in America isn’t an invention of the 21st century, of course, or even of the 20th. Sarah Igo, a history professor at Vanderbilt University, points to a crystallizing moment in 1890, when one of the first legal arguments was made in a law journal about the right to privacy.

The threat? Newspapers and magazines printing paparazzi photos of socialites. Really.

Now, we are in an age when technology’s intrusions into privacy erupt in scandals every few months, if not more often. The uproars over Facebook’s privacy protocols bear witness to this, as do the cases of alleged cyber-bullying over MySpace and Facebook, and — in the case of the suicide of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi — webcam and Twitter. Loads of user names and passwords were recently compromised in the hack on Gawker Media. As Tiger Woods discovered, celebrity texts might as well be written on bathroom doors. And the ongoing WikiLeaks dumps of confidential diplomatic cables contribute to the sense that nothing is confidential

anymore.

With each scandal there is outrage, to greater or lesser degrees.

There are attempts to “draw a line in the sand,” as Igo puts it, as with the Federal Trade Commission’s proposal allowing consumers to opt out of having online advertisers track their browsing habits.

Another recent victory for privacy: a federal appeals court ruled the government needs a warrant to gain access to e-mails stored by Internet service providers.

But the controversies tend to be the exceptions, the rulings tend to be reactive (and late), and the line tends to move in one direction.

We have largely made peace with Facebook collecting information about us, with Amazon saving

our credit card numbers.

More broadly, we have made peace with our confessional culture. If we are outwardly ambivalent that moments of deep personal anguish and light mundanity are processed into entertainment without much distinction on reality TV and YouTube, we nevertheless eagerly consume it all. We vote with links clicked and cookies accepted.

Even surveillance itself becomes titillation. As Hal Niedzviecki, a cultural commentator in Toronto and author of “The Peep Diaries,” points out, the evening news features surveillance camera footage of bungled convenience store robberies. Dash cam arrest videos show up online.

Niedzviecki calls the current state of things “peep culture.”

“Peep culture conditions us to want to use our privacy to achieve things,” says Niedzviecki, who suggests this breeds a kind of passivity, a failure to ask questions.

“It’s not, ‘Oh, no, no, you can’t ask me to give this up.’ It’s, ‘Sure, you can have it, but what am I getting back?’” In other words, we often feel we’re exercising control over what we give up. And we tend to focus on what we think we’re getting: security, social mobility, convenience.

So, yes, the vast majority of us will continue to go through the full-body scanners. We will do it most of all because we hope the new technology makes us safer,

but also because we’re in a rush, because we don’t want to make a fuss, because we don’t want to find out just how “enhanced” a pat-down can be, because we don’t even know what a full-body scanner is. We will do it because we’ve been inured to giving up things when we go to the airport, and it stinks, sure, but this is the price of flying in a scary age. We will do it because thinkingly or unthinkingly we have concluded this is a good bargain.

This is the familiar dance of human being and machine, of old-fashioned privacy and newfangled technology, negotiating terms. Or this is much ado about nothing, depending on where you choose to stand.

Fort Collins, Colo.-based Advanced Energy Industries Inc., parent company of PV Powered in Bend, on Wednesday announced the creation of two focused business units within the company effective Jan. 1: Thin Films and Renewables. The company says the move will enable improved execution and a strategic focus on two distinct markets.

The Renewables unit, headquartered in Bend, will be managed by Gregg Patterson in the role of executive vice president and general manager. The Renewables unit will include the PV Powered and Solaron solar inverter products, the latter of which are produced in Fort Collins and whose managers will report to Patterson.

The Thin Films business unit will be managed by Yuval Wasserman in addition to his role as the company’s president and chief operating officer, and will be headquartered in Fort Collins.

Wasserman and Patterson will report to Hans Betz, CEO of Advanced Energy. “… The Renewables business unit will focus on string, commercial and utility-scale solar projects and installations, selling primarily to distributors (engineering, procurement and construction contractors), developers and utility companies,” Betz said in a news release.

Alliance wants filmmakers to view Central Oregon as picture perfect Group seeks to build up moviemaking infrastructure

Advanced Energy creates 2 units

Central Oregon has terrific scenery for filming movies, television shows, commercials or scenes for video games and websites, and a local group is looking to exploit that by working with state officials to promote a regional film industry.

“We know a lot of people who love the

Bend area and would love to come here to make films, but right now we just don’t have the infrastructure,” said Brad Douglas, president of the Central Oregon Film Alliance, formerly known as the Film Oregon Alliance.

The COFA executive committee includes Douglas, a film producer based in the Bend area; videographer Greg Oullete, COFA

vice president; and Jeff Dawn, an Academy Award-winning makeup artist who has several Arnold Schwarzenegger movies among his credits.

“Think about what a major film production employing hundreds of people could mean to the economy of Central Oregon,” Douglas said. “If we can establish Central Oregon as a filmmaking community, we can build somewhat of a recession-proof economy. At the end of the day, that is our goal.”

Home-stretch buying lifts merchants’ spirits

Home sales rise but fall short of forecast Sales of existing homes rose in November, but analysts said increased employment and better access to credit were needed before the housing market could achieve a sustained recovery.

The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that existing-home sales rose 5.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.68 million units in November, up from about 4.43 million in October.

Still, the rate was nearly 28 percent below the 6.49 million of November 2009 and below the pace of 4.75 million units that economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected.

“We are underperforming, given the size of the population,” said Walter Molony, a spokesman for the Realtors association. “Homes sales this year are subpar. We should be over 5 million on a sustainable level.”

The November figure, a sharp reversal of the 26 percent plunge in existing-home sales in October, reflects completed transactions for existing single-family homes, town homes, condominiums and co-ops.

Consumers are shedding the thriftiness of recent years, setting stage for sales that may rival prerecession levels

By Stephanie Clifford New York Times News Service

The last-minute holiday surge is marking the return of the U.S. consumer, who is shedding the recession’s thrifty ways and rediscovering the pleasure of shopping.

The malls are jammed, parking lots snarled and sales expected to stay strong in the few remaining days before Christmas.

With new figures showing in-store sales up 5.5 percent on the final weekend before Christmas compared with last year, this holiday season is on track to be the healthiest since 2006.

Separately, online shopping has been fueling growth in total sales, while spending in stores

on this Thursday alone may rival the levels reached the Friday after Thanksgiving.

And Christmas Eve still beckons the procrastinators — of those with the majority of their shopping left to do, about 10 percent plan to be in stores Friday, one survey suggests.

From the Pacific Northwest to New Jersey, a few consumers rushing in and out of the mall madness this week gave the sense that a healing economy meant it was fine to splurge a bit.

“The air alone makes me want to shop,” said Michaya Pollard, 29, who had accompanied her children’s elementary school to Westlake Center mall in Seattle to see the Christmas decorations.

WIND POWER

Chinese subsidies illegal, U.S. says

By Sewell Chan New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration accused China on Wednesday of illegally subsidizing the production of wind power equipment and called for discussions at the World Trade Organization, the first step in a trade case sought by U.S. steelworkers.

It is the second time in less than four months that the administration has accused China of violating world trade rules.

The move escalates the trade tensions between the United States and China over clean energy, a sector that the administration views as a technological frontier in which U.S. companies are struggling to remain competitive.

Washington is challenging a special government fund in China that awards grants to makers of wind power equipment. The Americans say the fund provides subsidies that are illegal under WTO rules because the grants appear to be contingent on manufacturers using parts made in China rather than foreign-made components.

“Import substitution subsidies are particularly harmful and inherently trade distorting, which is why they are expressly prohibited under WTO rules,” Ron Kirk, the U.S. trade representative, said.

New York Times News Service illustration

NEW YORK — Billions of dollars in top-rated bonds backed by community banks have gone bust, debunking the defense offered by credit-rating agencies that wildly inaccurate ratings were limited to risky mortgage bonds that imploded and then triggered the U.S. financial crisis.

Government regulators and lawyers across the United States are examining how credit-rating agencies came to bless as “investment grade” the now-toxic bonds made up of special securities issued by community bank holding companies.

During the go-go years preceding the December 2007 start of the worst modern recession, more than $50 billion of these special securities were floated by community banks and pooled into complex instruments called collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs. From 2000 to 2008, Moody’s Investors Service rated at least 103 of them, valued at $55 billion, issued by banks, insurance companies and real estate investment trusts.

Today, many of these securities are virtually worthless.

Questioned by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission on June 2 in New York, Moody’s Chief Executive Raymond McDaniel insisted that “the poor performance of ratings from the 2006-2007 period in residential mortgage-backed securities and other related securities, housing-related securities, has not at all been replicated elsewhere in the business.”

Wrong.

City’s failed pension may be sign of what’s to come

By Michael Cooper and Mary Williams Walsh New York Times News Service

PRICHARD, Ala. — This struggling small city on the outskirts of Mobile was warned for years that its pension fund would run out of money by 2009 if it did nothing. Right on schedule, its fund ran dry.

Then Prichard did something that pension experts say they have never seen before: It stopped sending monthly pension checks to its 150 retired workers, breaking a state law requiring it to pay its promised retirement benefits in full.

Since then, Nettie Banks, 68, a retired Prichard police and fire dispatcher, has filed for bankruptcy. Alfred Arnold, a 66-year-old retired fire captain, has gone back to work as a shopping mall security guard to try to keep his house. Eddie Ragland, 59, a retired police captain, accepted help from colleagues, bake sales and collection jars after he was shot by a robber, leaving him badly wounded and unable to get to his new job as a police officer at the regional airport.

Far worse was the retired fire marshal who died in June.

Like many of the others, he was too young to collect Social Security.

“Prichard is the future.

We’re all on the same conveyor belt. Prichard is just a little further down the road.”

— Michael Aguirre, the former San Diego city attorney, who has called for San Diego to declare bankruptcy and restructure its own outsize pension obligations “When they found him, he had no electricity and no running water in his house,” said David Anders, 58, a retired district fire chief. “He was a proud enough man that he wouldn’t accept help.”

The situation in Prichard is extremely unusual — the city has sought bankruptcy protection twice — but it proves that the unthinkable can, in fact, sometimes happen. And it stands as a warning to cities like Philadelphia and states like Illinois, whose pension funds are under great strain: If nothing changes, the money eventually does run out, and when that happens, misery and turmoil follow.

It is not just the pensioners

who suffer when a pension fund runs dry. If a city tried to follow the law and pay its pensioners with money from its annual operating budget, it would probably have to make large tax increases, or huge service cuts, to come up with the money.

Current city workers could find themselves paying into a pension plan that will not be there for their own retirements.

In Prichard, some older workers have delayed retiring, since they cannot afford to give up their paychecks if no pension checks will follow.

So the declining, little-known city of Prichard is now attracting the attention of bankruptcy lawyers, labor leaders, municipal credit analysts and local officials from across the country.

They want to see if Prichard, like the continuing bankruptcy of Vallejo, Calif., ultimately creates a legal precedent on whether distressed cities can legally cut or reduce their pensions, and if so, how.

“Prichard is the future,” said Michael Aguirre, the former San Diego city attorney, who has called for San Diego to declare bankruptcy and restructure its own outsize pension obligations. “We’re all on the same conveyor belt. Prichard is just a little further down the road.”

Trading Continued from B1 “It is an arms race,” said Roger Ehrenberg, managing partner at IA Ventures, an investment firm specializing in young companies, speaking of some of the new technologies that help traders identify events first and interpret them.

Many of the robo-readers look beyond the numbers and try to analyze market sentiment, that intuitive feeling investors have about the markets. Like the latest economic figures, news and social media buzz — “unstructured data,” as it is known — can shift the mood from exuberance to despondency.

Tech-savvy traders have been scraping data out of new reports, press releases and corporate websites for years. But new, linguistics-based software goes well beyond that. News agencies like Bloomberg, Dow Jones and Thomson Reuters have adopted the idea, offering services that supposedly help their Wall Street customers sift through news automatically.

Some of these programs hardly seem like rocket science. Working with academics at Columbia University and the University of Notre Dame, Dow Jones compiled a dictionary of about 3,700 words that can signal changes in sentiment. Feelgood words include obvious ones like “ingenuity,” “strength” and “winner.” Feel-bad ones include “litigious,” “colludes” and “risk.”

The software typically identifies the subject of a story and then examines the actual words. The programs are written to recognize the meaning of words and phrases in context, like distinguishing between “terribly,” “good” and “terribly good.”

Aggregate effects Vince Fioramonti, a portfolio manager at Alpha Equity Management, a $185 million equities fund in Hartford, Conn., uses Thomson Reuters software to measure sentiment over weeks, rather than minutes or hours, and pumps that information directly into his fund’s trading systems.

“It is an aggregate effect,” Fioramonti said. “These things give you the ability to assimilate more information.”

Bloomberg monitors news articles and Twitter feeds and alerts its customers if a lot of people are suddenly sending Twitter messages about, say, IBM. Lexalytics, a text analysis company in Amherst, Mass., that works with Thomson Reuters, says it has developed algorithms that make sense out of

Sales Continued from B1 After a particularly good year at the barber shop and salons that she owns, Pollard said she had spent several hours over the weekend buying extra gifts like a Coach bag for her sister.

“I didn’t plan on spending more this year,” she said, but “I’m excited about their faces on Christmas Day.” Some women’s apparel items were sold out, bolstering the notion that women were buying for themselves again. A Patagonia whitefleece jacket in medium was only available at a store in tropical Honolulu, while an Anthropologie sweater coat decorated with poppies was out of stock at the company’s online store but available on eBay at a huge markup.

A fresh approach Retailers have begun to change their approach to the holiday season after two years in which they have had to mark down items as Christmas neared. Retailers now manage their inventory better across sectors like women’s apparel, for instance, and avoid the last-minute priceslashing of Christmases past.

“Retailers have become much better at playing this game,” Sherif Mityas, a partner in the retail practice of the consulting firm A.T. Kearney, said in an e-mail.

Still, promotions were heavy, with Lord & Taylor offering 20 percent off almost the entire store, and Kohl’s giving its Kohl’s cardholders 15 percent to 30 percent off all purchases.

Many stores were running low on inventory, which was actually a good thing for the retailers, Mityas said.

“Retailers have learned painful lessons around the balance of inventory, versus margin-crushing fire sales the last days before Christmas,” he said.

“Getting more consumers to pay higher prices earlier in the holiday season in fear of missing out on certain items at the last minute will serve retailers well in subsequent holiday seasons.”

The recession forced stores to regroup after a dismal holiday year in 2008, and one that showed just slight improvement last year.

Perking up

Michael J. Lutch / New York Times News Service

Vince Fioramonti, a portfolio manager at Alpha Equity Management in Hartford, Conn., uses Thomson Reuters software to measure market sentiment. “It is an aggregate effect,” Fioramonti said.

“These things give you the ability to assimilate more information.”

Twitter messages. That includes emoticons like the happy-face :) and the not-so-happy :\.

Skeptics abound, but proponents insist such software will eventually catch on with traders.

“This is where the news breaks,” said Jeff Catlin, chief executive of Lexalytics. “You have a leg up if you are a trader.”

High-tech advantages The computer-savvy traders known as quants are paying attention. According to Aite Group, a financial services consulting company, about 35 percent of quantitative trading firms are exploring whether to use unstructured data feeds.

Two years ago, about 2 percent of those firms used them.

Quants often use these programs to manage their risks by, say, automatically shutting down trading when bad news hits.

But industry experts say the programs are also moving the markets. Last May, as Greece’s financial crisis deepened, Wall Street computers seized on a news story with the word “abyss” in the headline and initiated sell orders, according to

industry experts.

But some warn of a growing digital divide in the markets.

Well-heeled traders who can afford sophisticated technology have an edge over everyone else, these people say.

Paul Tetlock, an associate professor at Columbia University who did research that was used to create the news algorithms, worries that technology has skewed the playing field.

Regulators, he said, should keep a close eye on these high-speed traders.

“People are trading news at very high frequency,” he said.

“People worry about that.”

But the experts are already talking about the next thing — programs to automatically digest broadcast and closedcaption television.

Adam Honore, research director at Aite Group, said the innovations did not end there.

He said some traders were using software that monitored public statements by corporate executives and administered the computer equivalent of a liedetector test.

“It is the next wave of trading,” Honore said of unstructured data. “It goes hand in hand with more and more of everyday life being digitized.”

According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, which tracks sales at chain stores open at least a year, November and December sales rose 1.1 percent in 2007, then declined 5.6 percent in 2008 and rose 2.3 percent in 2009.

This year, the council has already revised its estimates upward and now expects chain store sales to rise 3.5 percent to 4 percent. That would rival prerecession spending levels and be the biggest increase in holiday spending since 2006.

ShopperTrak, which estimates total retail sales, said Wednesday that dollars spent this last weekend had risen 5.5 percent, to $18.83 billion, from last year, while traffic increased 3 percent.

As for the online shopping, which has outpaced in-store sales this year, the marketing research company comScore indicated that online sales increased 12 percent in the first 49 days of the holiday season, to $28.36 billion, compared with the same period last year.

Overall, apparel sales were strong, up 9.8 percent from Oct. 31 to Dec. 11 compared with last year, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks all forms of payment, including cash and check.

Michael McNamara, vice president for research and analysis at SpendingPulse, noted that women’s apparel was up about 4.4 percent in the early holiday shopping season.

“They’re perking up even since Black Friday a little bit — it’s the most positive season we’ve seen there since 2007,” he said. “Women are starting to buy for themselves again.”

Betting on the weather Making a night out at the movies to score cash, big prizes more affordable Deals are win-win for merchants, who rely on insurance to back the gambles

By Gregory Karp Chicago Tribune

By Peter Mucha The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — About eight years ago, Roxann Dulce came oh-so-close.

Another quarter-inch of snow on Christmas Day, and Anthony Jewelers in Palmyra, N.J., would have refunded the cost of purchases all of its customers made Thanksgiving weekend.

This year, the Palmyra financial controller had a hunch that she’ll win — just as she predicted the Giants would beat the undefeated New England Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl.

New York did win, in an alltime crazy nail-biter.

So on the Saturday after Turkey Day this year, Dulce walked down the street to Anthony Jewelers and bought a rainbow sapphire bracelet for herself, a couple of ornaments and a gift for a niece.

Now she’s dreaming of a White Christmas coating her bank account to the tune of $700.

Anthony’s is one of the fate-defying merchants that tempt customers every holiday season with an unusual guarantee: Customers get their money back if a certain amount of snow falls in such-and-such a timeframe, or on some special date.

“White Christmas Sale. Free Hot Tub if it snows on Christmas,” a banner on a sample outside West Chester (Pa.) Spas proclaims this month.

Shop until Christmas Eve at Corinne Jewelers in Toms River, N.J., and get cash back if an inch falls on New Year’s Eve. If it does, customers will collectively recoup perhaps $1 million, said Ryan Blumenthal, general manager at the

Clem Murray / Philadelphia Inquirer

Larry Granger, president of West Chester Spas, stands beside a spa adorned with a banner describing the “Free if it Snows” deal outside his store in West Chester, Pa. store that bears his grandmother’s name.

Around the nation, even some car dealers get in on the action.

The merchants aren’t losing sleep because the gamble’s all paid for through insurance. The insurer is the Grinch who prays for clear skies.

Picking a policy is a bit of a balancing act. If the promotion’s too easy to win — one flake! — the premiums will be sky-high. If it’s too tough to win, don’t expect an avalanche of customers.

“The idea is to make it believable to the public and make it affordable to the retailer,” said Patricia Sleicher, president of Global Weather Insurance Agency Inc., the Long Island, N.Y.-based insurer backing the spa and Corinne Jewelers deals.

Her company covers 50 to 100

weather-based promotions a year, with end-of-year snow deals being the most popular.

But other special days are targeted, too, and not just winter ones such as Valentine’s Day, President’s Day and Super Bowl Sunday. Wedding rainouts can mean ring refunds. Hot-temperature deals have been tried for July Fourth.

“We’ve even done wind in Wyoming,” she said.

Such promotions are small potatoes in the weather-underwriting industry, though. “Our main business is insuring concerts, movies, TV commercials for weather,” Sleicher said.

Her firm’s biggest payout was about $6 million over the filming of “Cliffhanger,” starring Sylvester Stallone, when production was delayed because “they got blizzard after blizzard” in the Italian

Alps, she said.

With store promotions, finetuning often shows up in the fine print.

Anthony’s pays off on just an inch of snow from midnight to midnight on Dec. 25.

But for a freebie hot tub, 2 inches or more must fall between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Dec. 25, as measured at Pottstown (Pa.) Limerick Airport.

The odds might seem slim, but very similar conditions paid off last year for patrons of Geis Perry Jewelry in Atlantic, Iowa.

“We went for two inches of snow in a six-hour period, and they actually got, like, eight,” Sleicher said.

“I felt fantastic about it. I had the happiest customers around,” said Rich Perry, co-owner with his wife, Nedra.

A closer look at Citi’s credit card reboot

By Ron Lieber New York Times News Service

It can’t be much fun to be a credit card marketer right now The bosses are desperate for new revenue after a couple of years of writing off bad loans.

President Barack Obama signed legislation making it more difficult to raise interest rates and impose fees.

Meanwhile, many customers are paying down high-interest debt and have sworn off the companies’ products in favor of debit cards. Oh, and they mostly hate that card companies cut many of their credit limits in a time of need and then reduced perks on some cards as if to rub salt in their wounds.

So now a couple of companies want to throw you a small bone.

American Express said Friday that it will soon get rid of its dreaded currency conversion fees for transactions that begin outside of the United States, although only for people who have its Platinum or Centurion (aka Black) personal and small-business cards.

Two new Citigroup cards will also drop the fees. The new cards are part of an overhaul of much of Citigroup’s credit card operations.

The company will discontinue a number of cards, including its PremierPass, Diamond Preferred Rewards, Simplicity Rewards, Home Rebate and Driver’s Edge Options cards. (The popular cards that earn American Airlines miles are not part of the changes.)

Starting early next year, Citi will replace these cards with one of four cards: ThankYou, ThankYou Preferred, Premier and Prestige. As part of the overhaul, Citi will take away some perks that many cardholders like and add others that weren’t there before.

Many new customers will be paying strikingly higher annual fees than they may have paid for Citi’s discontinued cards (although at least for the moment, current customers won’t be affected).

Citi isn’t the only company making changes to its card line-

up; most other issuers have been experimenting with new fees and rules for at least a year in an attempt to test the limits of the new card legislation and stop the bleeding in their card businesses.

Points calculus Citi is a bit late to the game here. Then again, some of its new effort is built on a change it made in 2004.

That was when Citi introduced PremierPass cards. Users earned one point in Citi’s proprietary ThankYou program for every dollar they spent. Then, they redeemed those points for merchandise or free plane tickets on multiple airlines.

The twist was this: When you bought a plane ticket for yourself or others with the cards, you also earned separate “flight” points for every mile that you or they flew.

Those points could add up quickly. So Citi wouldn’t let people redeem the flight points until they had an equal number of “purchase points,” which were all the ThankYou points people earned for every card purchase.

Because many people racked up flight points faster than purchase points, the not-yet-redeemable flight points turned into an anchor that kept many cardholders paying annual fees year after year.

For some affluent customers, this was such a bonanza that Citi had to repeatedly tweak the redemption rules for plane tickets in its ThankYou program. These changes served to keep the points from being so valuable that the program would become unsustainable. Today, you get a penny per point to spend on airline tickets when you redeem a ThankYou point.

And herein lies the challenge in analyzing a card like this, one that most consumers don’t think through. When card companies advertise double points or flight points or triple miles, it is utterly meaningless until you know exactly what those points or miles

will buy.

This can be confusing. Really confusing. In fact, it’s confusing for Citi’s own employees, who included some language in the terms and conditions on its new cards that strongly suggested that the company was changing the earning rules for these flight points. In fact, the rules will remain the same.

Some of the other point-earning rules are changing, though.

Many Citi customers now earn at least two points for every dollar they spend at gas stations and grocery and drug stores. With the new cards, that will fall to 1.2 points per dollar spent for the Premier card and 1.3 points for the Prestige one.

That said, customers can earn an unlimited number of points each year, and in most instances they won’t expire. Points on discontinued Citi cards are supposed to transfer to the new ones the company will send out in the first half of 2011.

Citi says it has no plans to further restrict redemptions. This is true until it isn’t, and as with any loyalty program, the rules can and will change.

New perks On the Premier and Prestige cards, Citi is also throwing in some new perks. One that appears to be new to the card industry is a 15 percent discount on domestic plane tickets. You have to book through a Citi partner travel agent, and the terms and conditions for this benefit are rife with anxiety-producing bits about the partner determining the airline and routing, limited availability, airline participation (or lack thereof) and the possibility of earning no airline miles.

I tested the program for a New York-to-Chicago trip in February 2011 and found that the discount was real and that most airlines on the route participated. But I suspect that this will be much harder to use around Easter and

Thanksgiving.

As for the new annual fees, they are aggressive. Two of the new cards have none, but the perksladen Premier card has a $125 annual fee while the Prestige card requires $500.

Current PremierPass and other Citi customers who are paying lower annual fees will continue paying the existing fees for now.

Despite my best efforts, I could not extract a promise from Terry O’Neil, Citi Cards executive vice president, that he would never raise them.

“There is no plan in place to increase annual fees for those customers,” was the best he would offer.

The company has also added annual fees for any and all supplemental cards, say for your spouse and children. New customers will pay $50 for each extra Premier card every year; Prestige cardholders will pay $175 for each authorized user. Why? The card and its benefits are worth it, O’Neil said. (Current card holders will not have to pay annual fees for their authorized users’ cards for now.)

Maybe they are and maybe they aren’t. Never has the phrase “your mileage may vary” been more appropriate than it is with Citi’s credit card reboot. So much depends on what, where and how you spend and which rules Citi changes in the future (and when).

The experts figure that consumers will be skeptical.

“I just don’t think that people will have a lot of confidence,” said Dennis Lefebvre, who moderates or co-moderates several credit card forums on FlyerTalk.com, where many of the savviest travelers and credit card users hang out and swap tips. “They have tinkered with the way you earn and redeem ThankYou points so many times over the last half dozen years that I think it’s very difficult for a person to make a decision to accumulate those points towards a spectacular reward that takes years to save for.”

Americans can watch movies at home in high definition on large screens and with surround sound. And they have a growing number of sources for movies, including on-demand from their subscription TV service and various online services.

Even so, Americans still love going to a movie theater. Frugal moviegoers, however, don’t always pay full price.

Movie ticket prices this year are averaging $7.85, a nearly 5 percent increase over 2009, according to Hollywood.com.

That’s due in part to theaters charging more for 3D movies.

Still, compared with ticket prices to attend a professional sporting event, live theater or popular music concerts, going to the movies is cheap entertainment.

But you can make it cheaper.

Besides the obvious advice of going to less-expensive matinee showtimes and skipping outrageously expensive popcorn, candy and soft drinks, here are a few tips to spend less when going to the movie theater.

• Check theater websites. You can often find discounts and coupons for tickets or concessions, and special programs for kids. AMC Theatres, for example, recently offered a $10 gift card if you see five new movies from a list of 17 before Jan. 6.

Similarly, some theaters offer discounts through such social media as Twitter and Facebook.

• Loyalty programs at theaters.

Avid moviegoers might benefit from joining a loyalty program, where going frequently earns free tickets and concessions.

Examples are the Regal Crown Club and AMC MovieWatcher Rewards.

• Entertainment Books. The little, fat coupon books, sometimes sold as fundraisers, usually have coupons for movie theaters. See entertainment.com. It’s also worth thumbing through local newspapers and tourism guides.

And if you’re a fan of daily deal sites, such as Groupon.com and Kgbdeals.com, keep an eye out for movie ticket deals.

• 3-D scrutiny. Movies in 3D are a hot trend, but they cost more and are not always worth it, said Stacie Hougland, content editor at Movies.com. For example, “Toy Story 3” and “Tangled” worked perfectly well in the traditional two-dimensional format, while “Clash of the Titans” was actually made worse by its clunky, inferior 3-D conversion, according to Movies.com critics Jen Yamato and Dave White. “Before you pony up for

the extra charge, do some reading to find out if 3-D is necessarily a worthwhile addition for the movie,” Hougland said.

• Warehouse clubs. If you belong to a warehouse club, check for discount movie theater tickets. Costco, for example, offers discounts on tickets to theaters run by AMC, Regal Entertainment and Cinemark Theatres.

• Card-carrying discounts.

Identification cards for senior citizens, students and military personnel score you a discount at some theaters. Even your credit card might earn you a discount. A recent Visa Signature promotion offered “buy one, get one free” movie tickets on movie site Fandango.com.

• Membership and associations. Some AAA locations offer discount movie tickets, as do local companies and nonprofit organizations, churches and schools and condo and homeowners associations.

• Get group discounts. If you’re going to the movies as a group, call ahead to the theater and book a party. You can get deals on tickets, popcorn and soft drinks, Hougland said.

• Bulk-buying websites. If you don’t mind jumping through hoops for discounts, try a site like the new MovieBuzzed.com, where you can pay about half price for tickets. The site offers “certificates” for bulk-buying tickets: $25 worth of movie tickets for $12, for example. Certificates can be used to get “codes,” which are used to buy and print movie tickets at Fandango.com.

There are many significant restrictions. First, certificates expire after five months. Second, when you redeem your certificates, it takes 10 to 12 days to get your Fandango codes by e-mail.

So, these discount tickets are only useful if you’re planning to visit the theater in about two weeks, not if you want tickets for tonight. Third, after you receive your Fandango codes, you’ll have 14 days to use them before those codes expire. So, your window for going to the movies is roughly between 10 and 24 days after you buy certificates at MovieBuzzed.com. Fourth, you must use your entire certificate amount in that period.

Moreover, when you initially buy your certificates, there’s a processing fee of $5.50 to $6.75 on a single order, depending on which ticket package you order.

So, the smallest package really costs $17.50 for $25 worth of tickets, a 30 percent discount.

Finally, make sure Fandango. com offers tickets to theaters you want to go to.

“We are really concentrating on that directory so that a producer who is interested in filming in Central Oregon can look at it and see everything they need to produce a film, whether it’s a wrecking yard or an old Crown Victoria for a police car.

The directory will make Central Oregon a more viable site for filming major motion pictures because producers can arrive knowing they won’t have to spend days searching for people and businesses with the skills and resources they need, Douglas said.

“We’re going to invite the entire community to submit information for the directory,” Douglas said.

While the new website is being developed, people interested in getting in the directory can do so through the current website at www.filmoregon.org.

Continued from B1 Since other communities courting film-production companies — including Portland, Eugene, Medford and Ashland — all have organizations with names that identify their locations for filmmakers, Douglas said he and other executive committee members changed the name of the local group to better target filmmaking for Central Oregon.

“We reorganized and changed the name over the past year. We will have an official announcement and coming-out party sometime in January or February,” Douglas said.

In the meantime, he said COFA is developing a new website and beginning work on a new source directory of resources that filmmakers coming to Central Oregon may need to film major motion pictures. The directory will include everyone from camera, sound and lighting crews to painters and set construction crews. It also will include services and accommodations, such as motels and restaurants, and scenic locations, scenic farms and ranches, gas stations or police station locations for movie scenes, antique cars available as props, and stores where filmmakers can purchase clothing

it’s clear that even more of these toxic assets may flow to the FDIC, which is unable to find other institutions willing to take them.

One of the failed banks, Riverside National Bank of Fort Pierce, Fla., brought a suit against Moody’s and its two competitors, alleging that Moody’s as a result of “undisclosed conflicts of interest fraudulently and/or negligently assigned inflated ‘investment grade’ ratings to the CDOs” that are worthless today.

Riverside eventually failed and its toxic assets fell to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which in an unusual move took over as the plaintiff and continued the suit.

Moody’s declined to comment.

During several public hearings this year, former analysts at Moody’s, which dominated the business of rating complex bonds, testified that they were pressured by superiors to maximize their

Continued from B1 Of the 324 U.S. banks that have failed since 2008, 136 of them defaulted on a total of $5 billion in trust-preferred securities — called TRuPS in industry parlance — that they had issued to raise capital.

These securities were popular because their issuance didn’t dilute an issuer’s share price, unlike preferred stock. And the dividends paid on the securities were tax deductible for the issuer.

Through the Freedom of Information Act, McClatchy Newspapers learned that at least 36 failed banks have transferred more than $1 billion in bonds backed by trust-preferred securities to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Fund and the Greenlight Oregon Labor Rebate film and television projects that resulted in more than $178.5 million in direct spending on filmmaking in Oregon, and nearly $350 million in direct and indirect economic impacts from 2007 through Dec. 1 this year.

In 2009, those programs resulted in 471 local hires who worked 204,938 hours, $350,000 spent on hiring locals to be extras or background performers, $1.9 million spent on pension, health and welfare fund contributions, and 417 local vendors who were paid by the shows, Porter said.

“Currently, there are 41 states with film incentive programs and Oregon’s ranks in the lower third of those states in terms of money we offer as an incentive.

Despite the fact that Oregon has chosen to not go as far as some aggressive states, we are able to pool our other resources to land our share of projects,” Porter said.

“We feel that if we can just be in the conversation when a project is looking for a location, we can land the ones who see the many values of our state,” Porter said.

“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” filmed in Salem; “Paint Your Wagon,” filmed in Baker City; “Animal House,” filmed in Eugene; and “The Goonies,” filmed in Astoria, Porter said.

More recently, a small-budget movie called “Meek Cutoff,” filmed in the Burns area last year, has gained international attention for its desert scenes and depiction of pioneer life.

“The Toronto Film Festival and the Sundance Festival will be screening it early next year,” Porter said. “We are excited. It is going to be out in movie theaters” in 2011.

He said another movie, “The Wait,” filmed over the summer in Black Butte and Sisters, also is helping put Central Oregon on the map as a filmmaking location.

“Obviously, Central Oregon has some landscapes and vistas that attract filmmakers,” Porter said. “Central Oregon is one of the areas we are looking to increase our efforts to promote filmmaking. Like other regions of the state, the people in Central Oregon have to look in the mirror and identify the advantages they have, and market those advantages.”

revenues, even if it meant providing dubious ratings.

It’s why McDaniel’s testimony is so damning in its assertion that ratings problems were limited to mortgage bonds, and brought by outside factors.

“This (collapse in trust-preferred CDOs) has nothing to do with mortgages at all, and yet you still have had this massive impact and this massive failure,” said a former Moody’s senior analyst who alleges he was pressured to provide inaccurate ratings.

The analyst, who insisted on anonymity for fear of litigation, said there’s a fundamental flaw in the way these securities were rated. Moody’s provided what were called “shadow ratings,” one-time ratings issued about the health of the bank that weren’t continually monitored and instead represented a snapshot in time.

Armed with these “shadow ratings,” investment banks then

pooled the securities into different layers of risk, offering investors slices of the pooled securities broken down into differing risk levels. Hedge funds and big pension funds often took the portions rated highest and thus perceived to be of least risk.

Less sophisticated buyers took out the riskier portions, which offered the higher returns.

“There are small banks who are buying some of the most sophisticated and difficult to analyze securities. Many of our clients didn’t seem to have clear appreciation for the risks they were assuming,” said Gene Phillips, the director of PF2 Securities Evaluations Inc., a New York firm that provides independent valuation of complex financial instruments. “And yes, the only thing they’re relying on is the rating and perhaps the promises made to them by the” investment bank salesperson.

Wind Continued from B1 “These subsidies effectively operate as a barrier to U.S. exports to China. Opening markets by removing barriers to our exports is a core element of the president’s trade strategy.”

The grants available under the Chinese program range from $6.7 million to $22.5 million, and the recipients, and the Chinese makers of wind turbines and associated parts can receive multiple awards as the size of the wind turbine models increases.

Grants under the program since 2008 could total several hundred million dollars, Kirk’s office said.

The accusation Wednesday is the first step in the WTO dispute settlement process. If China and the United States cannot reach a solution through consultations, the United States may request the establishment of a WTO dispute settlement panel.

The action grows out of an investigation Kirk’s office initiated Oct. 15 in response to a complaint by the United Steelworkers over a range of practices in the clean-energy sector, including prohibited subsidies, export restraints, discrimination against foreign companies and imported goods, requirements that foreign companies transfer technology to their domestic counterparts.

The filing, known as a Section 301 complaint, has been the subject of several talks between Chinese and U.S. trade officials.

Kirk’s office said it “was able to make progress on some of these other areas of concern during the course of the Section 301 investigation through its bilateral engagement with China.”

China agreed to lift one barrier to foreign developers seeking to build wind farms there after two days of meetings last week in Washington, part of an annual forum known as the United States-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade. Beijing will allow overseas experience in wind farm development, and not just experience in China, to qualify them for Chinese projects.

But several other barriers remain: Foreign developers are barred from offshore projects for national reasons, are not allowed to borrow as much money as domestic developers and are not allowed to sell carbon credits from their wind farms.

Kirk said his office would continue to investigate the steelworker complaints that have not already been addressed but was not planning additional formal action under Section 301, which is part of the Trade Act of 1974 and authorized the president to take “all appropriate action,” including retaliation, to remove practices by foreign governments that violate international trade agreements or discriminates against U.S. commerce.

“We will continue to work closely with the USW and other stakeholders in the months ahead on the remaining allegations,” Kirk said. referring to the steelworkers union. “If we are able to develop sufficient evidence to support those allegations and they can be effectively addressed through WTO litigation, we will pursue the enforcement of our rights at the WTO independently of Section 301.”

The steelworkers union, in a statement, said that resolving the remaining issues would take considerable effort. “The goal is not litigation; it’s to end their practices,” the union said.

OLCC staff recommends revocation of market’s liquor license

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY

Our neighbors More of them are likely to be Hispanic, population data show

But judge sides with Warm Springs-area convenience store

Editor’s note: This is the first in a threepart series examining different components of the American Community Survey in Central Oregon, detailing changes in population, income and education. Today: population.

The Bulletin

The Bulletin

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission staff laid out 50 serious incidents and 30 more minor events it maintained should cause the Rainbow Market convenience store, located on U.S. Highway 26 southeast of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, to lose its liquor license.

From February 2008 through August 2009, the commission staff pointed to a slew of events including fights, sexual assaults and shots being fired on the property that they believe constitute a “history of serious and persistent problems involving disturbances, lewd or unlawful activities.�

But an administrative law judge ruled the staff did not prove that the problems were related to the sale of alcohol at the convenience store.

The judge’s decision is now pending in front of the OLCC, which is scheduled to hear the case early next year. It is up to the commission to adopt the judge’s ruling entirely, with exceptions or not at all.

Timothy Gassner, a Madrasbased attorney, is representing Rainbow Market. He said the OLCC has the burden of proving the incidents were related to the sale of alcohol at the market.

The commission staff, he said, was unable to prove the connection and also unable to show that the market had a history of serious and persistent problems. “The lack of incidents relating to the sale of alcohol inside the premises is a testament to the responsible manner in which the licensee operates the store,� Gassner wrote in a legal document.

arlier this month, the Census Bureau released detailed community-based information through the American Community Survey. This survey, unlike the census, is conducted every year to provide information about the social and economic needs of cities nationwide. The census is completed every 10 years to provide an entire count of the U.S. population

to Congress.

The information released in the American Community Survey is not an actual count, but it can still show specific estimated data from each community within the nation.

As in most of the country, the Hispanic population here is growing rapidly. In Central Oregon, according to the American Community Survey data, there was an 8.4 percent increase in the Hispanic population from 2005 to 2009. Deschutes County, for instance, had an estimated Hispanic population of 9,409 in 2009 out of 151,879 people.

The growth of the Hispanic population in Central Oregon can be seen in a number of ways. One is the expansion of the

work of Central Oregon’s Latino Community Association. The association is dedicated to helping the Latino community learn English and better interact with other Central Oregonians. The organization also assists community members with filing taxes and paying bills, and presents Hispanic residents with information about education and other resources in the area.

Created in 1994, the association began in response to the evident increase in the Latino population. It initially started as a hot line created by St. Francis Church. “The increase in the Latino community was obvious to them at the time,� said Brad Porterfield, executive director of the Latino Community Association.

DMV may face suit over location change Brookswood Meadow shopping center owner claims breach of contract

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

When the DMV told Scott Lovejoy, of Brookswood Meadow LLC, on Dec. 8 that it was no longer planning to move into his shopping center in southwest Bend, he responded by saying he didn’t think it was going to be the last chapter.

In a way, he was right. The next one came the following day, and it happened to be penned on the letterhead used by Brookswood Meadow LLC’s attorneys, Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis.

That letter, addressed to DMV Administrator Thomas McClellan, stated that the DMV, not Brookswood Meadow, had violated the terms of the lease agreement when it terminated its contract with the company.

As a result, the letter states, the DMV’s attempt to get out of its lease should be considered “null and void� and the agency should move into the shopping center as originally planned or face possible litigation.

Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman David Thompson said his agency — the umbrella organization for the DMV — still considers the lease with Brookswood Meadow terminated. He also said he could not comment on the letter from Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis since it could lead to litigation. “They’re obviously protesting the fact that we’re canceling the agreement,� Thompson said of Brookswood Meadow LLC. “Our attorneys from the Department of Justice tell us that we can’t comment on any of the details in any of the negotiations to end the agreement.�

BOBBIE JONES CASE

Sain likely to spend rest of life in prison

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Operation Santa Claus volunteers Brie Freeman, from left, Peggy Foutz, Jenny Long and Maggie Henry wrap presents for families in need at the Boys & Girls Club of Bend on Tuesday. The Rivera Wealth Management Group is working with the Boys & Girls Club by raising funds to help families buy gifts and food for Christmas. This is the first year of Operation Santa Claus, and so far the group has raised $9,000 for needy families, according to one of its founders.

A man charged with killing a Spring River-area mother of two and dumping her body in the forest near Mt. Bachelor in August will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, it was announced We d n e s d ay in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

Michael Shawn Sain Sr., 30, reached a plea deal with Michael Sain prosec utors Monday in the death of Roberta “Bobbie� Jones, 28. He was formally sentenced Wednesday. In exchange for the prosecution dropping aggravated murder charges — which could have led to a death penalty sentence — Sain pleaded guilty to one count each of murder, firstdegree abuse of a corpse, and felon in possession of a firearm.

Sain will be eligible for parole in 36 years, eight months, but Judge Alta Brady said it’s unlikely a parole board will be sympathetic to any petition for release.

Fund established to help Still family A fund for Chuck and Grant Still has been established at the Bank of the Cascades and Selco Credit Union, and donations are being sought to help support the Stills in the wake of their family tragedy, according to a news release.

The fund, established by Still’s employer Pepsi-Cola Bend, will help the father and son pay for living expenses, ongoing medical care and future medical and counseling expenses.

On Dec. 15, Chuck’s wife, Julie Still, 39, and his daughter, Gracie, 5, were found dead after being shot in their Bend home. Chuck’s son, Grant, 2, also suffered injuries in the incident, and was treated at Oregon Health Sciences University before being released.

Those interested in donating can do so at any Bank of the Cascades or Selco Credit Union locations, or money can be mailed to the Pepsi-Cola Company of Bend, at 2440 NE 4th St., Bend, OR 97701.

Creswell School District settles civil rights lawsuit The Associated Press EUGENE — The Creswell School District has paid $10,000 to settle its part of a civil rights lawsuit in which school officials were accused of coercing a student to falsely confess to shooting a neighbor’s dog in 2008.

The Eugene Register-Guard reports that the father of Levi Dunn filed the lawsuit in February.

The suit alleges that Creswell Middle School principal Shirley Burrus and campus security supervisor Will Davey, along with Lane County sheriff’s deputies, interrogated Dunn until he falsely confessed, then paraded him in front of neighbors at the scene of the shooting.

Ballistic tests later cleared him.

The lawsuit says Dunn was ostracized and threatened after the false confession. He later moved away from Oregon because of it.

Creswell Superintendent Rick Stuber says it agreed to pay the $10,000 but that the settlement does not include an apology or admission that policies were violated.

‘Swamp rock’ musician helps kids fiddle around

By Lisa Britton Baker City Herald

BAKER CITY — Jocelyn Wellman snugs the fiddle under her chin, then starts sawing away with the bow.

Back and forth, back and forth — so far, sounds good.

Then: squeak!

She sticks out her tongue in annoyance as her eyes find instructor Kelly Thibodeaux. “It hurts my ears!� she says with a grin.

Then she starts again, joining the cacophony that is warm-up time for the session Rick Rembold’s third-grade class is having with Thibodeaux, the artist-in-residence this week at Brooklyn Primary School. “With the reduction in staffing, we wanted the artist-in-residence to be music,� said Principal Troy Fisher.

This year, music teacher Terry LaMont is dividing his time between Brooklyn, including kindergarten, Haines and Keating.

Fisher said the students have enjoyed this week of fiddling. “This has been the most reaction to an artist-in-residence we’ve had in the six years I’ve been here,� he said.

Fisher said the program was funded by grants from ArtsEast and Crossroads Carnegie Art Center. Also, Rob and Lori Thomas have donated the use of a guest house for Thibodeaux’s lodging.

From the Big Easy Thibodeaux grew up in New Orleans, but not with the fiddle. “I grew up with rock ’n’ roll music, and a family of engineers,� he said.

On the Web To learn more about Thibodeaux and his workshops, visit his Web site: www.etouffee.com.

He was one year shy of earning a degree in electrical engineering then changed his mind, and decided to play the fiddle instead.

That was 35 years ago. Now he describes himself as a “working musician� with his band, Etouffee, that plays a style called swamp rock. He now lives in Oakridge, near Eugene.

When he’s not playing, he’s teaching youngsters how to make the fiddle sing.

Sharing a love of music He brings about 40 fiddles with him for the students to play.

Thibodeaux is full of stories, and these fiddles bring another one: he was in Louisiana when Hurricane Katrina hit. After the hurricane, he said the oil companies doubled the price of gasoline, and he didn’t think it was right to capitalize on other’s misfortune. “My only way to protest was to sell my gas-guzzling SUV and buy a Honda,� he said. “Then I bought all these fiddles.�

At the beginning of a session, the students take up a fiddle and start rubbing rosin (made of tree sap) on the horsehair bow, which has to be sticky to work on the fiddle strings. “This is the only quiet part of the program, when they rosin up their bows,� he said.

Then comes the warmup.

They improve every day, he said, as the sound of 20-some students “sawing� fills the room. “Believe it or not, I can hear that little song being played,� he said. “I’m teaching them a little dance fiddle tune, a little two-step.�

After practicing for a few minutes, Thibodeaux takes up his guitar and brings the students up, one by one, to practice a short song. “Okay, short, short, long. Take it away,� he says, strumming the guitar in time with the young fiddler.

When the students switch, Thibodeaux shares music tidbits with the class. “You know, a couple hundred years ago they didn’t have itty-bitty fiddles,� he said. “They only had one size, probably their grandpa’s.

They’d saw on it till they got big enough to hold it off the ground.�

O Marine reserves send fish far and wide, study shows

O B Shots fired in struggle at dog groomer’s SWEET HOME — A man wielding a shotgun was arrested after he allegedly rushed into his girlfriend’s dog-grooming business and fired two shots during a struggle.

The Democrat-Herald reported that Barry Boydston was dropped off at the business by his brother, who was arrested later Monday on suspicion of drunken driving.

Boydston allegedly pointed a sawed-off shotgun at a store employee as his girlfriend, Cindy Blondin, attempted to restrain him. During the struggle, Boydston fired two shots. One struck a tub where a dog was being bathed — the dog was unscathed — and another hit the ceiling.

Boydston surrendered to authorities and was facing assault and weapons charges.

Drug ring leader gets 25-year sentence PORTLAND — A Mexican national has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison after his conviction on charges that he led a drug ring that supplied methamphetamine to east Portland for five months.

U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown has sentenced 27year-old Rafael Romero-Duarte after his October conviction.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says the investigation involved a five-month wiretap of several telephones and an undercover operation that led to RomeroDuarte’s arrest.

He was alleged to have been the leader of an operation of drug runners, stash houses and cash couriers who managed to distribute between two and eight pounds of methamphetamine to Portland between November 2008 and April 2009.

Abusive mom’s father seeks custody of kids EUGENE —The father of a woman who is serving time in prison for abusing her adopted 9year-old boy is seeking custody of four of the boy’s siblings.

The Eugene Register-Guard reports that Jesse McCurry, father of Alona Lee Hartwig, is disputing a Department of Human Services ruling that accuses him of neglecting the 9-year-old boy whom his daughter abused.

Hartwig is serving 10 years in prison. Her husband is serving five years.

McCurry’s attorney, Max Mizejewski, said Tuesday that his client believes the state’s ruling is preventing him from being a foster parent for the children, who are in state custody. The state contends McCurry was negligent about the boy’s abuse.

Two of the children are the 9year-old’s biological siblings.

Joshua Turnidge is led away in chains Wednesday after a jury at Marion County Circuit Court in Salem decided his fate and that of his father, Bruce Turnidge, right, in the bombing of a Woodburn bank. Jurors recommended the death penalty for the pair, who were convicted Dec. 8 of planting the bomb that exploded inside the bank two years ago, killing two police officers and maiming a third. They will be formally sentenced by a judge Jan. 24.

Bank bombers should be executed, jury says

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — A jury Wednesday recommended that a father and his son be sentenced to death for planting a bomb that exploded inside a Woodburn bank two years ago, killing two police officers and maiming a third.

In a trial that spanned three months, prosecutors portrayed Bruce and Joshua Turnidge as bigoted men who hated authorities, were desperate for money and feared that newly elected President Barack Obama would take away their guns.

Automatic appeal Both defendants stood with their lawyers and stared straight forward, showing no emotion as Marion County Circuit Judge Tom Hart read the jury’s decisions. Sheriff’s deputies handcuffed them and led them away to be jailed until Hart formally sentences them Jan. 24.

The judge is bound by the jury’s death sentence and

cannot impose a lesser penalty.

However, because the case involves capital punishment, it automatically will be appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court.

each pointing the finger at the other for building and planting the bomb, which prosecutors said was part of a plan to rob the bank.

‘No remorse’

Dangerous beliefs?

The same jury convicted the men Dec. 8 on 18 counts each of aggravated murder and other charges in the December 2008 bombing at the West Coast Bank in Woodburn. The homemade bomb killed state police bomb technician William Hakim, who was trying to dismantle it, and Woodburn Police Capt. Tom Tennant, who was helping.

“This is a murderer with no remorse,” prosecutor Matt Kemmy said in his closing argument of the penalty phase Tuesday.

Both men have maintained their innocence. Father and son turned on each other in trial,

Prosecutors urged jurors to sentence the men to death to prevent them from endangering prison staff or preaching their hatred for authorities to young prisoners who will someday be released.

The men were convicted after prosecutors argued that the Turnidges had fantasies of building bombs, robbing banks and starting an anti-government militia.

They hatched the bank robbery plan because they needed money to keep their struggling biodiesel company afloat, prosecutors said.

GRANTS PASS — Scientists now have hard evidence for something they have long believed — that establishing no-fishing zones in the ocean will help replenish fish populations far away that have been overharvested.

Authors of the study published online Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE said it bolsters scientific evidence for establishing marine reserves in coastal waters, which have faced stiff opposition from the fishing industry.

Lead author Mark Christie of Oregon State University said they used DNA sampling on 1,073 yellow tang, a popular aquarium fish, off the Kona Coast of Hawaii in 2006 and found their offspring were as far as 114 miles away. Two fish in unprotected areas were genetically linked to parents inside protected areas.

The study was funded by Conservation International.

Previously, the idea that tiny larvae spawned inside marine reserves would be widely dispersed by ocean currents was based on computer models.

Christie said the new study should help locate marine reserves to maximize their effectiveness at reseeding depleted

fishing areas.

“Logic dictates that the larvae that come out of marine protected areas have to go somewhere,” said Stephen Palumbi, professor of marine sciences at Stanford University, who did not take part in the study. “What this study has done is provide really the first very direct evidence of this happening over a broader scale..”

State and federal governments and conservation groups have been creating reserves to conserve and replenish fish stocks depleted by overfishing.

But they have been opposed by the fishing industry, which has demanded scientific evidence for reducing the places they can make their living.

California this month created a new series of no-fishing zones from the Mexican border to Santa Barbara, and fishing industry groups have threatened lawsuits. In Oregon, only two reserves have been created during years of wrangling, and they are not yet enforced. Three more have been proposed.

Peter Moyle, professor of fisheries at the University of California at Davis, cautioned that the study is for one species of fish and one reef system, and should be replicated, especially for rockfish off the coast of California.

Woman, dog rescued from muddy riverbank WILSONVILLE — A Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue crew pulled a woman and her dog from the muddy bank of the Willamette River at Wilsonville.

The department says Jackie Janopolo called for help Tuesday evening after she waded into the water to save her 150-pound Burmese mountain dog when he became stuck in the mud.

Firefighters found Janopolo clinging to a tree at Memorial Park and pulled her and her dog, named Bernie, to safety with a rope. Neither was injured.

Tanning salon photos case won’t go to trial MCMINNVILLE — Yamhill County prosecutors have dropped an invasion-of-privacy charge filed last year against a man accused of using a cell phone to photograph women tanning at the business his parents then owned in Sheridan.

The McMinnville News-Register reports that the case was scheduled for trial Wednesday and Thursday, but the prosecutors said in a hearing there was insufficient evidence to go ahead on the misdemeanor charge against 20-year-old Collin Serres.

Sell property, then fix up jail

J

ust months ago, voters clobbered a $44 million bond that would have allowed Deschutes County to remodel and expand its jail. Now, Sheriff Larry Blanton, with the blessing of county

commissioners, has decided to borrow almost $1 million from those very same voters.

The money will pay for a handful of projects that would have been funded by the defeated bond, including a significant expansion of the staff lounge area.

Blanton certainly knows his business, so we’re happy to accept his assessment of the county jail. Built more than a decade ago, it’s somewhat outdated and ill-equipped to handle — comfortably, anyway — the number of people who now work there. In an ideal world, a bigger staff area would be nice, as would the other improvements under consideration. These include an expansion of the locker room used by male staff and a reconfiguration of the central control room to create office space for on-duty sergeants, says Blanton.

But we don’t live in an ideal world.

Voters just told the county they didn’t want to pay more to increase jail capacity. Why, then, does it make sense to borrow their money to expand a locker room and quadruple the size of the staff area, which will grow from roughly 300 square feet to about 1,250, including a janitorial closet, according Susan Ross, the county’s property and facilities director? Blanton considers these improvements necessary, but he acknowledges that the jail would not cease to function if the county opted not to make them now.

The money — $900,000, to be exact — has been paid by property owners who live in the countywide tax district approved by voters in 2006. The sheriff’s office saved money in much the same way that a homeowner might save to buy a dishwasher, Blanton explained to a Bulletin reporter this week. We suspect many taxpayers might see things a little differently.

They might, for instance, have preferred the county to lower their tax rate marginally — effectively returning the money — rather than spending it on

capital improvements just months after they turned down a capital bond. Alternatively, they might have preferred the sheriff’s office to keep the money in reserve for the time being, if for no other reason than to decrease the likelihood of a hike in their tax rates. This summer, Blanton opted to cut the countywide law enforcement tax rate by 3 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, and most taxpayers would surely like the rate to stay there for a while. After all, how many of them have had the money recently to make household renovations that weren’t absolutely necessary?

Blanton does make a convincing case that at least one proposed project — an expansion of his office’s evidence storage area — is a necessity. According to Ross, the expansion amounts to roughly 500 square feet. But other expansions — including the staff area and the male locker room — are quality-oflife improvements that jail employees can certainly live without, at least for the time being.

Like most taxpayers, no doubt, we believe jail employees should enjoy decent working conditions, and we have no problem with Blanton spending the necessary money when appropriate. When might that be? The county’s own funding mechanism provides a reasonable answer. What commissioners agreed to this week was, in effect, a loan. The sheriff will be free to spend up to $900,000 of tax district funds on the improvements he considers necessary, and the county promises to repay the money from real estate sales — when and if the county manages to sell enough property in a recovered real estate market. Why not leave taxpayers’ money where it is — minus whatever’s needed to expand the evidence storage area — and pay for non-vital remodeling projects with the proceeds from actual land sales?

Eco-group’s plea for press, money T

he Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Working Group (EWG) has certainly made headlines with a recently released report decrying the presence of chromium-6 in tap water collected from 31 cities, including Bend. But, then, grabbing headlines raises the group’s profile, which is a great way to generate contributions.

And if there’s a group that could use a few generous donors, it’s EWG. Last year, the group’s expenses (about $5.1 million) exceeded its revenues (about $3.5 million) by over 45 percent, according to EWG’s 2009 annual report. Just the reverse had been true during the group’s previous five years, particularly 2008, when revenues (about $6.6 million) exceeded expenses (about $4.8 million) by about 38 percent. Operating significantly in the red for a year

didn’t put the group under, obviously, but it was surely a significant motivator to scrape up some more contributions.

After all, environmental advocacy doesn’t come free, what with the need to provide six-figure incomes to seven employees, according to the group’s 990 tax form for 2009. These include EWG President Kenneth Cook ($211,818), Executive Director Richard Wiles ($180,616) and Communications Director Alexander Formuzis ($125,142).

Then again, maybe we’re wrong.

Maybe the group is motivated entirely by a desire to provide accurate and credible information. If that’s so, it should have no problem reversing course and divulging who collected Bend’s tap water sample, where it was collected and when. After all, nothing says “shoddy science” like secrecy.

Creche collectors gone wild L

ast Christmas I got a jolt.

I learned that my brother Kevin collects creches. They were all over his house, crammed onto every mantle, table, counter, lawn and closet — 17 in all, including the little plastic stable my mom put over the fireplace when we were little.

I was perturbed. I knew Kevin, a salesman, was a fanatical guardian of the word Christmas, as opposed to the pagan, generic “holiday,” but I had no idea that he had such a monomaniacal hobby.

Maybe I was scarred by reading “The Glass Menagerie” as a teenager. But, books and records aside, collections always struck me as vaguely creepy. I had shuddered for years as my sister accumulated clowns and “Don Quixote” objects. And the porcelain baby collection of an older cousin actually made me feel queasy.

I wondered why Kevin was so obsessive about creches. Was it a way to stay close to our late mother? An homage to our old church, Nativity?

As a child, he treated St. Joseph, the shepherds and three kings as action figures, staging smackdowns. “The shepherd had an advantage because he was holding the lamb, and he could use it as a weapon,” Kevin recalled fondly.

I also remembered that he got very upset one year when St. Joseph was stolen from the outdoor nativity scene at Nativity, and he fretted over why Christ’s stepfather disappeared from the New Testament so abruptly. Could that make him hoard a houseful of St. Josephs — and send his three sons to a college named St. Joseph’s?

I was curious enough about the manger mania that when he told me he’d been invited to the Friends of the Creche annual convention in New Haven one weekend in November, I asked if I could go, too.

Touring the creche display at the

MAUREEN DOWD Knights of Columbus hall, we met collectors who had 300, 500, even 600 creches, the kind who might put an addition on the house just to display their stables. Kevin began to feel inadequate with a mere 15. (He gave two to his oldest son.)

Bonnie Psanenstiel, a 52-year-old nurse from Owensboro, Ky., told me that she has 500 sets packed into her “Nativity meditation room,” even though “I’m not really into religion.”

She got her first, which was handcarved out of olive wood, on a high school trip to Morocco and spent four years baby-sitting and cleaning houses to pay it off. She’s most attached to the set given to her by a woman she helped when she was a rape-incest counseling volunteer. “We used to sit by the Mississippi River and just talk,” Bonnie said as she started to cry. “She would slowly gather up some of this Delta clay, and she made me a set.”

She believes Nativities represent “renewal.”

The Rev. Tim Goldrick, the gregarious pastor of St. Nicholas Church in Fall River, Mass., said his grandfather told him it was a Portuguese-Azorian tradition that the man of the house set up the creche. He begged to put up their Woolworth’s set.

For years, the priest kept hundreds of creches in milk crates in his guest room, which precluded actual guests. “There was no room in the inn,” he said wryly.

When he transferred from his last parish, he called a mover and explained that he owned no furniture but did have

a lot of Christmas decorations. “It took three men two days to box them up and ship them,” he said.

Mike Whalen, 61, of Clinton Township, Mich., the president of the creche society and proud owner of 400, said he doesn’t know of creche fixations causing any marital battles. “There’s a lady from California whose husband is Jewish, and he’s very involved,” Whalen said. “He came up with an Excel system to organize things.”

Rita Bocher of Wynnewood, Pa., does the society’s newsletter. In the ’80s, doing market research for the Franklin Mint, she had to research creches. “I thought nobody collects Nativities,” she said. “Turned out, I was totally wrong.”

Now she has 700 subscribers around the world.

She saw her favorite in a German museum. It was a prequel, showing the Magi getting ready to go on their trip, ordering around servants, gathering gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Goldrick explained to Kevin that St. Joseph might have disappeared so abruptly all those years ago from the belief that if you bury a St. Joseph statue in the yard, you can sell your house quicker. (A tradition that has revived with the downturn in the real estate market, according to The Wall Street Journal.)

I couldn’t fight the fanatics, so I joined them. At the convention I bought a Cape Cod creche made by Nathaniel Wordell of South Chatham, Mass. Mary’s a mermaid. The baby Jesus is covered with a striped beach towel. The Wise Men are a crab, a crocodile and a sea horse. The “livestock” are a frog, a turtle and starfish. Joseph has a trident.

Sadly, it did not draw my brother and me closer. “That is sacrilegious,” Kevin said, staring in horror. “The Virgin Mary does not have a tail.”

Unyielding Somali doctor is heroic, female and Muslim W NICHOLAS hat’s the ugliest side of Islam?

Maybe it’s the Somali Muslim militias that engage in atrocities like the execution of a 13-year-old girl named Aisha Ibrahim. Three men raped Aisha, and when she reported the crime she was charged with illicit sex, half-buried in the ground before a crowd of 1,000 and then stoned to death.

That’s the extremist side of Islam that drives Islamophobia in the United States, including congressional hearings on American Muslims that House Republicans are planning for next year.

But there’s another side of Islam as well, represented by an extraordinary Somali Muslim woman, Dr. Hawa Abdi, who has confronted the armed militias. Amazingly, she forced them to back down — and even submit a written apology. Glamour magazine, which named Hawa a “woman of the year,” got it exactly right when it called her “equal parts Mother Teresa

and Rambo.”

Hawa, a 63-year-old ob-gyn who earned a law degree on the side, is visiting the United States to raise money for her health work back home. A member of Somalia’s elite, she founded a one-room clinic in 1983, but then the Somalian government collapsed, famine struck, and aid groups fled. So today Hawa is running a 400-bed hospital.

Over the years, the hospital became the core of something even grander. Thousands of people displaced by civil war came to shelter on Hawa’s 1,300 acres of farmland around the hospital. Today her home and hospital have been overtaken by a vast camp that she says numbers about 90,000 displaced people.

Hawa supplies these 90,000 people with drinking water and struggles to find ways to feed them. She worries that handouts breed dependency (and in any case, United Nations agencies can’t safely

KRISTOF reach her now to distribute food), so she is training formerly nomadic herding families to farm and even to fish in the sea.

She’s also pushing education. An American freelance journalist, Eliza Griswold, visited Hawa’s encampment in 2007 and 2008 and was stunned that an unarmed woman had managed to create a secure, functioning oasis surrounded by a chaotic land of hunger and warlords.

Griswold helped Hawa start a school for 850 children, mostly girls.

In addition, Hawa runs literacy and health classes for women, and programs

to discourage female genital mutilation.

And she operates a tiny jail — for men who beat their wives. “We are trying an experiment,” she told me. “We women in Somalia are trying to be leaders in our community.”

So Hawa had her hands full already — and then in May a hard-line militia, Hizb al-Islam, or Party of Islam, decided that a woman shouldn’t run anything substantial. The militia ordered her to hand over operations, and she refused — and pointedly added: “I may be a woman, but I’m a doctor. What have you done for society?”

The Party of Islam then attacked with 750 soldiers and seized the hospital. The world’s Somalis reacted with outrage, and the militia backed down and ordered Hawa to run the hospital, but under its direction. She refused. For a week there were daily negotiations, but Hawa refused to budge. She demanded that the militia not only withdraw entirely but

also submit a written apology.

“I was begging her, ‘Just give in,’ ” recalled Deqo Mohamed, her daughter, a doctor in Atlanta who spoke regularly to her mother by telephone. “She was saying, ‘No! I will die with dignity.’ ” It didn’t come to that. The Party of Islam tired of being denounced by Somalis at home and around the world, so it slinked off and handed over an apology — but also left behind a wrecked hospital.

The operating theater still isn’t functional, and that’s why Hawa is here, appealing for money (especially from ethnic Somalis).

What a woman! And what a Muslim!

It’s because of people like her that sweeping denunciations of Islam, or the “Muslim hearings” planned in Congress, rile me — and seem profoundly misguided.

Everett's services were in Walla Walla, Washington.

He was laid to rest in his family plot next to generations of family members and his wife Colleen.

Everett was born February 8, 1919, in Touchet, Washington, where he farmed and entered sales for the first 50 years of his life. He moved to Central Oregon and had his home base there the next 41 years. Everett passed away at the home of his daughter, Sheri (Brock) Wood in Terrebonne, Oregon.

Everett will be remembered by those who knew him for his stories, candid sense of humor, energetic interest in life and generosity with his time in support of family, friends and others.

It is now his time to rest in peace in the arms of his Savior and Creator.

Announcer Fred Foy best known for work on ‘Lone Ranger’

Marcia Lewis, left, and Bebe Neuwirth perform in “Chicago” at the Richard Rogers Theater in New York on Oct. 23, 1996. Lewis was known for bringing a comic brassiness to the Broadway musicals in which she appeared.

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Fred Foy, a radio and television announcer best known for conjuring up “those thrilling days of yesteryear” in the late 1940s and ’50s as the announcernarrator of “The Lone Ranger,” has died. He was 89.

Foy died Wednesday of age-related causes at his home in Woburn, Mass., said his daughter, Nancy Foy. This 2003 During a family photo broadcastprovided by ing career Nancy Foy shows her fa- that began ther, Fred Foy, in Detroit in 1940, at the OldFoy spent Time Radio more than convention in 20 years as Newark, N.J. a staff announcer for ABC television and radio before retiring in the mid-1980s.

His early career included stints announcing radio’s “The Green Hornet” and “The Challenge of the Yukon,” and he later was the announcer on “The Dick Cavett Show” on ABC in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

But for many, Foy remains best remembered for his stentorian delivery of what many consider the most famous opening lines in broadcast history: “A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty ‘Hi-yo, Silver’ — the Lone Ranger!”

DMV Continued from C1 Neither Lovejoy nor his attorney, John Berge, of Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis, was available for comment Wednesday.

The DMV announced in late August that it had signed a lease with Brookswood Meadow LLC for a spot in the company’s Brookswood Meadow Plaza. The plaza is located on the corner of Brookswood Boulevard and Amber Meadow Drive.

The move was supposed to get the DMV out of its temporary location on the north side of Bend and put the agency’s offices in a permanent home, which it hasn’t had since its lease ran out at its longtime location on Emkay Drive.

Unhappy neighbors But after the DMV made its plans public, there was community backlash. Some neighbors in the surrounding RiverRim community feared the increased traffic would put their kids’ safety in jeopardy and would inconvenience the neighborhood.

Others, including many Bend city councilors, believed the shopping center was in an out-of-the-way location for the rest of the community.

Despite these concerns, it appeared inevitable the DMV would move into Brookswood Meadow Plaza, since it had already signed a lease with the shopping center’s owners.

Pleas made by concerned citizens to state and local officials went largely unanswered.

It wasn’t until the city put a hold on the building permits

Actress/singer Lewis was a Tony nominee

By Bruce Weber New York Times News Service

Marcia Lewis, an actress and singer known for bringing a comic brassiness to Broadway revivals of “Grease” and “Chicago,” died on Tuesday in Nashville. She was 72.

The cause was lung cancer, said her husband, Fred Bryan.

A sturdy woman with a sturdily high-pitched voice that she could muster to comically piercing effect, Lewis came to prominence late in her performing life, when she was already in her 50s.

She earned her first Broadway credit in the original production (though not the original cast) of “Hello, Dolly!”

A storied career She subsequently led the respectable career of a character actress for three decades, appearing in TV sitcoms, occasional films and theater productions on and off Broadway.

Then, in 1994, she landed a role in a revival of the hit 1972

needed to get the shopping center ready for the DMV that the agency backed out of its lease.

Because the city wanted to go through a land-use process to ensure Brookswood Meadow Plaza had enough parking for the DMV, it effectively pushed back the move-in date for the agency and gave it a loophole to get out of its contract.

Accusations But according to the Dec. 9 letter Brookswood Meadow LLC’s attorney sent to the DMV, the delay was for “reasons beyond the control” of the company. The letter states this provides an exemption to the DMV’s reason for termination of the lease, and, in fact, is found in the same section of the contract that the state agency cited in its termination letter to Lovejoy.

The Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis letter also asserts the DMV breached its contract with Brookswood Meadow LLC by notifying the city that it was terminating its lease at the shopping center, and therefore tried to influence city officials who were making decisions on the building permits.

“This is clearly an attempt to persuade the City not to issue the requisite building permits, which constitutes a breach by the DMV under the Lease for acting in bad faith and intentional interference with business relations under Oregon law,”

musical “Grease.”

The revival, which also starred Rosie O’Donnell, was roundly scorned by critics but lasted four years, and Lewis was nominated for a Tony Award as best featured actress for her performance as Miss Lynch, the crabby old-maid English teacher.

In 1996 she was in the opening-night cast of the long-running Broadway hit “Chicago,” which began life as part of the “Encores!” series of musicals in concert. (The original “Chicago” ran on Broadway from 1975 to 1977.)

Lewis played Mama Morton, a prison matron who shares the profane show-stopping duet “Class” with the murderess Velma Kelly and belts out an audience favorite of her own, “When You’re Good to Mama.” Again she was nominated for a Tony.

“She was so outrageous and so excellent,” said Joel Grey, a friend of Lewis’ who also starred in “Chicago.” “People used to gather in the wings to watch her.”

the letter states. “Further, the DMV’s distribution of the letters and e-mail correspondence with the City of Bend also constitutes a breach … because this is the release of confidential information or otherwise of a sensitive nature.”

City fires back City officials have disputed that they made any decisions regarding the DMV or Brookswood Meadow LLC based on politics. The city also recently affirmed that the shopping center had enough parking spaces for the DMV, and can issue building permits as soon as an appeal period for that decision ends next week.

Planning Manager Colin Stephens said if an appeal is received, it will first be heard by a hearings officer in Bend. After that, an appeal of that decision could go to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

“There’s been this discussion about the staff getting political pressure and making this lastminute decision to ram them through this loophole, and that’s not what happened,” Stephens said about the reason to place the initial hold on the building permits. “We were very cautious about how we would go through with this process.”

Passion for performing Marcia Bernice Lewis was born in Melrose, Mass., on Aug. 18, 1938. Her father, an engineer for General Electric, was transferred when Marcia was a girl, and she grew up mostly in Cincinnati. She attended the University of Cincinnati and became a registered nurse, but she also performed in local theater productions and in her early 20s moved to New York City to become a professional actress.

Lewis played Miss Hannigan in the original Broadway run of “Annie” and Golde in the 1990 revival of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Other theater credits include the musicals “Rags” and “Rosa” and the 1989 revival of “Orpheus Descending.”

On TV, she appeared in “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Baretta,” “Happy Days,” “Kate and Allie,” “Mr. Belvedere,” “Goodtime Girls” and the miniseries “Rich Man, Poor Man.” She was also a cabaret singer and recorded a solo album, “Nowadays,” in 1998.

Population Continued from C1 “The church is where the majority of Latinos practice, so the hot line was started to assist them,” he said. “By 2000, the need began to grow, so it was developed into a nonprofit.

It started pretty small, but by 2006, we started to expand and created other branches and other means to help reach the entire community, to get them involved.”

Porterfield said it does much more than just bridge the language barrier.

“We have English tutors, typically volunteers, that meet with a student or a group of students once a week,” he said. “We also provide basic assistance, giving referrals on any number of things, including medical, legal and educational areas, helping them get in touch with people they need to around the area

Market Continued from C1 “The remaining incidents which are alleged to have occurred outside the premises or in the immediate vicinity thereof have not been proved to have involved patrons of the establishment or to be related to the sale of alcohol.”

Alcohol is not sold on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. If the Rainbow Market were to stop selling alcohol, residents would likely have to drive to Madras for liquor, wine and beer.

The OLCC has sanctioned Rainbow Market in the past.

In 2006, an employee did not check for identification of a person who looked younger than 26 years old, violating Oregon liquor regulations.

In 2007, the market and its owner, Roxanne McInturff, were ticketed for allowing drinking in the parking lot and the market received a 23day suspension.

In 2009, the market was in the news when it faced with a 30-day liquor license suspension in connection with the arrest of an off-duty employee outside the store. After the suspension was appealed, the OLCC commission decided the market was not at fault.

“No one is denying there are problems at Rainbow Market,” said OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott. “Legally (the judge) is finding it hard to tie the problems outside the Rainbow Market to the sale and service inside the market. Because they take their drink, walk away and drink it in the next lot.”

The commission does not have to accept the administrative law judge’s decision, Scott said.

“But whatever decision they do make has to have a legal basis,” she said.

Any decision the OLCC makes can be appealed to the Oregon Court of Appeals.

for help or information.”

The association provides dental clinics for adults and children, partnering with other organizations in the area. On average, the association assists over 125 people a month and is always accepting of more volunteers.

“The volunteer program is a huge part of what we do,” said Porterfield. “The English tutor is a popular volunteer position, but we also have volunteers that help in the office, and those usually need to be bilingual. We always need help at the events we put on, and you don’t necessarily have to be bilingual for those. We’re just glad to have the help.”

Fumiko Ezawa Mount Fumiko Ezawa Mount died peacefully in the arms of her loving daughter in Bend, Oregon, on December 17th. Fumiko was 85 years old.

Fumiko was born in Chiba-ken, Japan.

Fumiko and her late husband, Parker, met in Japan where they were married and had a son, Robert, and a daughter, Momi. In 1957, they moved to Oakridge, Oregon where they lived, worked and raised their family. Parker passed away in 1983, and in 1986 Fumiko moved to Bend, Oregon, to live with her daughter’s family.

Fumiko loved her family dearly and would do anything for her children, grandchildren and friends.

Fumiko is survived by her son, Robert, her daughter, Momi, her grandchildren Gerad, Sonja, Robby and Jennifer, seven great grandchildren and many special friends.

Sain Continued from C1 Authorities have until now provided limited information on what happened between Aug. 4, when Jones was reported missing, and Aug. 12, when Sain was arrested on suspicion of murder. Prosecutor Kandy Gies provided a narrative to the courtroom audience Wednesday, filling in some of the details.

Gies said investigators have determined Jones, Sain, and others were using methamphetamine at a duplex on Northeast Dawson Drive in Bend on the night of Aug. 3. As morning arrived, the others left, including the resident of the duplex, leaving Jones and Sain alone about 6:30 a.m. Aug. 4.

Sometime during the next 1½ hours, Sain assaulted Jones, Gies said, knocking out two of her teeth. He shot her four times in the head with a rifle, Gies said, then placed her body in a duffle bag and loaded it into a car.

Sain left Jones’ body near a spur road near U.S. Forest Service Road 45, and later ditched the rifle in the forest near Sunriver. Officers recovered Jones’ cell phone and other personal possessions

from the car he had been driving and had abandoned after getting stuck on a Forest Service road.

Sain was arrested on unrelated charges Aug. 5 and questioned as a person of interest in Jones’ disappearance. Jones’ body was found by a Mt. Bachelor security guard Aug. 7, and Sain was arrested on suspicion of murder on Aug. 12.

Appearing by video from the Deschutes County Jail on Wednesday, Sain was largely motionless while members of Jones’ family read statements to the courtroom.

Jones’ mother, Debra Headrick, addressed Sain directly, speaking of how her daughter had often described Sain as her best friend.

“How do I convey to you the chaos and devastation you have caused this family?” Headrick said. “For me and her two boys, you ripped the heart right out of us.”

Sain provided only a short statement to the courtroom and Jones’ family. “I committed the ultimate act of cowardism, and would like to apologize for that,” he said.

After the hearing, Shelly Stanton, Jones’ aunt, said multiple hearings over several months or years would have been hard for Jones’ sons, Jaydon and Alec, so

family members agreed to the plea deal between prosecutors and Sain’s defense team. Stanton said she would have liked to have heard more from Sain about what happened, but there’s little he could have said that would have been comforting for the family.

“The past five months have been the worst our family has ever experienced,” Stanton read from a statement. “Losing Bobbie has brought more tears, anger, hate and loneliness than anyone can imagine.”

Deschutes County District Attorney Mike Dugan said it’s extremely rare to wrap up a murder case in under five months, and credited prosecutors and Sain’s defense team for their hard work.

He said he’s pleased to see the case come to an end before he leaves office in January.

“This case started on my watch as D.A., and I’m glad it ended on my watch as D.A.,” Dugan said.

“But there’s never satisfaction in sending someone to prison for the rest of their life, there’s never satisfaction in talking to victims — these are very, very sad things.”

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.

— The tail end of a storm that dumped rain on Southern California for nearly a week gave the region one final lashing Wednesday, burying houses and cars in mud, washing hillsides onto highways, flooding urban streets, threatening dozens of canyon homes and spreading filthy water that prompted the closure of 12 miles of Orange County beaches.

Inflatable boats and canoes were used to rescue dozens of motorists and homeowners from flooded streets, hotels and hillsides. Others refused to leave their homes, even as dirty water and mud sliced through their neighborhoods.

The storm weakened as it

moved eastward, but floods still washed away at least six vacant homes in Arizona and inundated parts of Nevada and Utah.

The low-pressure system could be in New Mexico by today and reach the Gulf Coast by Saturday with some rain, but not the deluge that hit Southern California, forecasters said.

The storm turned the final days before Christmas into a nightmare, and left some residents fearful that more and bigger mudslides could strike the wildfire-scarred hillsides in suburban Los Angeles even after the skies cleared.

Officials on Tuesday ordered the evacuation of 232 homes in La Canada Flintridge and La Crescenta, suburbs of Los Angeles below steep hillsides that burned in 2009 and where mudslides inundated homes and backyards in February.

Travelers in Europe get some relief LONDON — Conditions improved Wednesday at Heathrow Airport, where about 70 percent of the scheduled flights were operating after days of weather-related chaos. Still, no one was allowed to enter the airport without a ticket on a confirmed flight.

The Eurostar rail service, which also suffered major disruptions because of the freezing weather, was operating most of its trains Wednesday.

Transportation in Western Europe has been virtually paralyzed this week, the busiest travel period of the year.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Auburn QB Newton wins Associated Press Player of Year AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton lifted Auburn from the back of the Top 25 to No. 1 in the nation.

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback led the Tigers into the national title game against No. 2 Oregon with a mix of flair and poise.

Newton has already raked in Auburn QB the HeisCam Newton man Trophy and Davey O’Brien and Maxwell awards for his spectacular season.

He added AP Player of the Year to his collection on Wednesday.

An NCAA investigation into Newton’s recruitment, which threw his eligibility into doubt during November, had no effect on how he played down the stretch — or the voting for the AP award. It was about as lopsided as the Heisman vote.

Newton received 51 votes from the 60-member AP football poll panel. Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore received three, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck got two and four ballots went unreturned.

HUNTING & FISHING

Flu-flu arrows, Frisbees and pheasants in flight I

t’s akin to catching a steelhead on the surface, to making your longest cast to set a fly down light as a feather and see it disappear in the maw of a tarpon. To shoot a pheasant in flight is one of archery’s great thrills.

Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk. The bird claws to the sky, its long tailfeathers stream behind, its wings a blur, a fury of sound and motion. An arrow streaks from the bow. For a moment, the trajectory of the bird and the arc of the feathered shaft appear to intersect, then the ar-

row spirals down and the bird climbs out of reach and away.

The night before, as we sat down to beef marsala at the Imperial River Company in Maupin, Mike described his gear. On our hunt in the morning with Sage Canyon Outfitters, Mike would shoot a Hoyt Dorado recurve and a carbon shaft tipped with a G5 small game head and a flu-flu fletch.

A flu-flu is a type of arrow designed to fly a short distance, primarily for aerial targets.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After a miserable start to the season in which he took shots at his players and himself, Larry Brown is out as coach of the Charlotte Bobcats in another messy exit in his welltraveled career.

Former Charlotte Hornets coach Paul Silas, who has been out of the league since 2005, will direct the team for the rest of the season on an interim basis.

Owner Michael Jordan announced Brown’s departure in a news release, a day after the Bobcats were outscored 31-12 in the fourth quarter in their fourth straight loss.

“I met with Coach Brown two weeks ago about the team’s performance and what we could do to improve it,” Jordan said. “We met again this morning after practice.

The team has clearly not lived up to either of our expectations and we both agreed that a change was necessary.”

The 70-year-old Brown, a Hall of Fame coach who was in the third season of his 13th professional and college head coaching job, had been upset with the makeup and effort of his team for weeks. The Bobcats (9-19) had lost three games by 31 or more points in 10 days before Tuesday’s fourth-quarter meltdown against Oklahoma City.

UConn’s record stands on its own, not on the shoulders of UCLA

Redmond’s Sawyer Gerdes (5) is fouled by Sprague’s Devvon Gage (11) as he drives to the basket during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s game in Redmond.

Panthers rally for OT victory Redmond beats Sprague in its own tourney, 53-50, for its fourth straight win Bulletin staff report REDMOND — Brad Carter scored a gamehigh 26 points to lead Redmond to a 53-50 double-overtime victory over Sprague on Wednesday in the Panthers’ own boys basketball invitational.

A 6-foot-7-inch senior forward, Carter record-

ed eight points in the two extra periods to help Redmond win its fourth consecutive game.

“The bottom line is he’s going up strong and being aggressive,” Redmond coach Dusty Porter said about Carter. “He’s expecting to finish.”

Sprague, which entered the game on a threegame winning streak, lead 20-10 after the first quarter, in large part because of eight Panther turnovers. Redmond buckled down defensively before the half, though, and held the Olympians to just two points in the second period.

“The kids woke up,” said Porter, whose team trailed 22-18 at halftime. “They stayed with it and played hard.”

t was yet another empowering landmark reached by an amazing group of athletes, yet it felt hollow and forced.

Because, once again, a triumph by women was measured against something achieved by men.

Everyone is chortling about the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team breaking the UCLA men’s record 88game winning streak Tuesday, except, well, they didn’t. Different game. Different league. Dif-

ferent records.

Everyone is yakking about how Connecticut Coach Gino Auriemma is the new John Wooden except, well, he’s not. Different game. Different league. Different coaches.

After his Huskies shredded Florida State, 93-62, Auriemma said the right thing in referring to the Bruins’ 1971-74 streak, telling an interviewer, “I’m not John Wooden and this isn’t UCLA. This is Connecticut and for us, this is good enough.”

NHL ROUNDUP

Penguins win, Crosby extends scoring streak to 22 games The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins did enough work early on that they could afford to coast and look ahead to a showdown with rival Washington.

Crosby matched the second-longest NHL scoring streak in 18 years at 22 games with his first-period goal and the Penguins beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Crosby scored for the 28th time this season and 22nd time during the streak 7:44 into the game, giving the Penguins a 2-1 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

“The last few games we have done a pretty good job of starting well and creating a lot of pressure and generating a lot of shots early,” said Crosby, who scored on a slap shot that beat Florida goalie Tomas Vokoun to the far side.

Crosby leads the NHL in scoring with 58 points (28 goals, 30 assists).

“But the last couple periods of this one weren’t our greatest. We had the lead but we probably could have done a better job— I think partly mainly because we’re thinking about tomorrow,” Crosby said.

The Penguins came out strong early Wednesday with the game Thursday at Washington — a preview of the Winter Classic to be played at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field on Jan. 1 — looming.

The teams are linked by superstars Crosby and Alex Ovechkin and the fact HBO is filming a reality series about them this month.

Pittsburgh took a 3-1 lead by taking 14 shots over the game’s first 11 minutes, chasing Vokoun. The Penguins took a 4-1 lead on Ben Lovejoy’s first career goal 6:19 into the second but were outshot 29-17 over the final two periods.

“We made it a lot closer than we needed it to be,” Crosby said. “Partly because, I think, knowing that we play tomorrow night. I’m sure guys might have been secretly trying to save a little bit.”

Mark Letestu, Matt Cooke and Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, which has won 14 of its past 16, recovering from a two-game losing streak last week with consecutive convincing victories.

Stephen Weiss and Bryan McCabe scored for Florida, which had won five of its previous seven.

“To spot a team three goals — any team — before you kind of get your game going, it’s tough, let alone against these guys,” said Scott Clemmensen, who replaced Vokoun in Florida’s net. “It just became too much for us to climb out of.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Football • Ohio State looks into tattoo allegations: Ohio State is investigating allegations that several football players traded autographs for tattoos, according to multiple reports.

WBNS-TV and The Columbus Dispatch, both citing unidentified sources, reported on their websites Wednesday night that the school was looking into the possible NCAA violations just two weeks before the Buckeyes face Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, not mentioned in either report, quickly responded on Twitter.

“I paid for my tattoos. GoBucks” he posted.

• Rodgers returns to Packers practice: Aaron Rodgers returned to practice for the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday. With the playoffs still a realistic possibility, he’s expected to start Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. And while Rodgers acknowledges he’ll be careful about sliding instead of taking a direct hit when he scrambles in the future, he says coming back from his second concussion this season won’t fundamentally change the way he plays. Rodgers sat out practices and team meetings last week and didn’t play in Sunday night’s loss at New England.

• Colts WR Collie out for season: Peyton Manning has lost another of his top targets for the season. Indianapolis Colts receiver Austin Collie suffered a concussion Sunday against Jacksonville, and the team placed him on injured reserve Wednesday. Though Collie is in his second year, Manning feels like he’s losing a veteran. Despite missing five games and more than a half in three others, Collie leads all Indy receivers with eight touchdown catches, is second in receptions (58) and third in yards (649). “He’s fast, he’s got a good feel for zones, he understands defenses,” Manning said. “He has his physical talents, but also, his experience has helped him play at such a high level at such a young point in his career.”

• Concussion has Favre in limbo: As the Minnesota Vikings have been reminded this season, ruling Brett Favre out is never easy. He managed to make it in Monday night’s game after the final injury report declared him out, let alone all the other weeks just this year when his status was unclear until the final hours. That’s why Vikings interim coach Leslie Frazier is still holding a spot in the starting lineup for the 41-yearold, soon-to-be-retired quarterback in case he recovers quickly from the concussion that knocked him out of the game against the Bears. “It will just be a day-to-day situation,” Frazier said. “If he gets cleared by our doctors then things will change, but until he’s cleared there isn’t much that can be done other than whatever the doctors recommend.”

• Jets’ Ryan: Foot-fetish report ‘a personal matter’: New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says it’s a “personal matter” and declined to talk about a “foot-fetish” report posted by the sports website Deadspin that show four videos of a woman who bears a close resemblance to Ryan’s wife, Michelle. The videos show a woman displaying her toes to an off-screen cameraman who, in one video, sounds a lot like the coach. The two are having an intimate chat about her feet. During his news conference Wednesday, Ryan declined several times to discuss the situation. “I understand I’m going to get asked this question frontways, sideways, backways, and all this, but it is a personal matter,” he said.

• Metrodome roof nearly clear of snow and ice: Workers are finally close to clearing the Metrodome roof of snow and ice so that more substantial repair work can begin on the home of the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis.

The executive director of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission said crews hoped to have the roof clear on Wednesday. He says it’s still not clear how long total repairs will take, whether it will involve replacing damaged panels or replacing the roof entirely, and how much it will all cost.

• Brady passes Vick to top

final fan Pro Bowl voting: Tom Brady has overtaken Michael Vick to lead all players in the final fan voting for the Pro Bowl. The New England Patriots quarterback had nearly 1.9 million votes when balloting ended Monday. The NFL said Wednesday that Vick topped the NFC with more than 1.5 million. Almost 100 million votes were cast online and via mobile phones. Fans account for one-third of the selection process. Players and coaches vote Wednesday and today.

The 43-man rosters will be announced Tuesday. Players leading their position voting include Houston Texans running back Arian Foster and wide receiver Andre Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu and Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney. The Pro Bowl is Jan. 30 in Honolulu.

Horse racing • Racing deal keeps Preakness in Maryland: The Maryland Racing Commission has approved an agreement that will keep the Preakness Stakes, a state tradition and the second jewel in racing’s Triple Crown, in Baltimore. The commission voted Wednesday to support an agreement reached by horse racing representatives and Gov. Martin O’Malley’s administration earlier in the day in Annapolis. It calls for 146 days of live racing at the state’s horse racing tracks.

The deal would redirect $3.5 million to $4 million in state slot machine revenue from capital improvements at racetracks to help defray operating costs.

Basketball • Ratings up for NBA: More viewers are tuning into the NBA — and it’s not just the fascination with the Miami Heat. Television ratings for games on ESPN and TNT are up more than 30 percent so far this season compared to last year. Sure, the Heat are drawing big audiences after a summer of free-agent intrigue concluded with LeBron James and Chris Bosh joining Dwyane Wade in Miami. Ratings for Heat games on ESPN have increased 69 percent from last season. But take out the five matchups involving Miami, and the network’s NBA coverage is still up 23 percent from a year ago.

Boise State running back Doug Martin is brought down by Utah’s Chaz Walker (32) and Matt Martinez (52) during the first half of the Maaco Bowl on Wednesday night in Las Vegas.

Boise caps season with bowl victory

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — It wasn’t the bowl Boise State wanted to be in, and for the better part of the first half Wednesday night, the Broncos played as if they were thinking about the one that got away.

Then Doug Martin raced 84 yards up the middle, and suddenly the MAACO Bowl didn’t look so bad after all.

Martin shook Boise State out of its brief postseason funk with his long touchdown run midway through the second quarter, and the 10th-ranked Broncos dominated the rest of the way to beat No. 20 Utah 26-3 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.

“It was a startup for our team,” Martin said. “A momentum changer.”

The victory was small consolation for Boise State, which missed out on a possible Rose Bowl appearance on two missed field goals last month at Nevada. But the dominating win against a team that was at one time ranked No. 6 in the country was a reminder why the Broncos rode high in the polls before suffering their only loss in two years.

It may also be a reminder for next year’s poll voters not to write off a team that won every game over the last two years except the one that really mattered. The loss to Nevada not only cost the school millions of dollars in a BCS bowl bid, but some of the

Tennis • Nadal beats Federer: Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-1 Wednesday to square a twomatch exhibition series for charity between the world’s top-ranked tennis players in Madrid. Nadal sealed the win with a powerfully angled forehand crosscourt shot in front of a capacity crowd at Caja Magica sports arena that included many of Spain’s leading dignitaries. Federer beat Nadal 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 Tuesday in the opening match in Zurich, Switzerland.

Baseball • Man who killed Angel pitcher gets 51 years to life: A construction worker who was on probation for felony drunken driving when he ran a red light and killed rookie Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two other people was sentenced Wednesday to 51 years to life in prison. A judge sentenced Andrew Gallo, 24, amid sobbing from the victims’ family and friends who earlier heard him apologize for the 2009 crash. Prosecutors said Gallo’s blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit when he blew through a red light at an Orange County intersection on April 9, 2009, and T-boned the car carrying Adenhart and three friends.

— From wire reports

grudging respect others had finally given Boise State.

Count Utah coach Kyle Whittingham among the believers.

“This is a team that was the top-ranked team that was setting itself up for a run at the national championship,” Whittingham said. “If they beat Reno (Nevada) and if Auburn or Oregon stumble, they’re in that game.”

Neither of those things happened, of course, forcing Boise State to go begging for a decent bowl bid despite its gaudy record. The Broncos landed in this gambling city, where the bookies quickly established them as 17-point favorites to beat a Utah team that also had its BCS dream dashed late in the season.

But Boise State (12-1) came out flat and seemed disinterested. Kellen Moore fumbled on the third play of the game and the Broncos turned the ball over three times to help Utah (10-3) to a 3-0 lead.

Martin then scampered up the middle and headed down the left sideline on the first play from scrimmage following a Utes punt.

Moore, who also threw an interception in the first quarter, rebounded with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Shoemaker in the closing seconds of the first half to give Boise State a 16-3 lead. He added another 18yard TD pass to Austin Pettis in the third quarter.

Hockey • Man charged with throwing waffles at Leafs’ game: A frustrated Toronto Maple Leafs fan who threw waffles on the ice at the Air Canada Centre will have to admire his team from afar. Joseph Robb was charged with criminal mischief and barred from the arena for throwing waffles on the ice at a Maple Leafs game to protest the team’s performance this season. The 12-17-4 Leafs were 28th out of the NHL’s 30 teams entering Wednesday’s games.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Does college football really need Cuban’s cash to fix postseason?

By Tim Cowlishaw The Dallas Morning News

M

ark Cuban’s not so different from you and me. This is evident from the fact that he has considerable trouble getting people to take his money.

I run into this problem all the time. Just this weekend I had store clerks handing back my credit card and saying, “Sorry, we can’t take this.”

In Cuban’s case, he couldn’t get the Chicago Cubs to take his $500 million a couple years ago. He failed to get the Rangers to take his giant check this summer.

So last week, the Mavericks owner announced he would spend his money to save college football from the evil BCS and produce the playoff that he says everyone wants.

Cuban’s announcement surprised me for a number of reasons. I will list three of them here.

Number one is that he went to Indiana University. So I wasn’t even aware that he knew what college football was.

Number two is that he thought the problem could be fixed by throwing money at it.

I think the big conference commissioners know that a lot of money could be generated by a playoff system (although I think they exaggerate the number). Most of them are on the record as having said so, in some cases, even to Congress.

Number three is simply that this doesn’t strike me as a Cuban-type cause. Athletic directors, coaches and players all have said that they favor the bowls (or, like me, an improved version of the current system) over a playoff.

There are two groups of people that favor a playoff. One is the media. I can’t remember the last time Cuban thought the media were in touch with any cause worth leading.

The other group is, allegedly, the fans.

Now you can find polls that say fans want it.

But after the first year of a playoff, I promise you there will be polls saying that fans don’t like the playoff system that was installed to replace the bowls.

That aside, fans profess to love the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and I have no doubt they do. They also stay away from watching college basketball until March in alarming numbers.

No one knows — certainly I don’t profess to know — exactly what impact a 16-team

college football playoff in December would have on September ratings. My guess is that over time they would slide. It might be a small amount, it might be significant. I don’t know.

But as far as causes go, this battle hardly seems a worthwhile use of the $500 million Cuban said he would raise to throw at colleges to support a playoff.

In Cuban’s words, “There is quite a lot of satisfaction in taking on Goliath.”

That might be a fair characterization of the powers of the BCS, but I don’t know anyone who sees Cuban as a David figure.

Certainly no one in the Fort Worth courtroom who watched as he tried to pull off a last-minute purchase of the Rangers viewed him in that light.

Having heard from the critics, Cuban has decided it’s more about throwing money at college presidents and administrators in a manner in which they could enhance their schools’ ability to provide education.

With a daughter in college and a son not far behind, I’m in favor of anything that either broadens that experience or, heaven forbid, reduces educational costs.

Using those as tools to provide a college football playoff?

I’m at a loss to see how the current system — beyond being bloated with too many bowls and in need of changing the automatic qualifiers on an annual basis — is broken.

Regular-season ratings remain strong.

The major bowls get good numbers. The national championship will be the highest rated show on television that week, despite the fact that Auburn and Oregon hardly represent schools with Notre Dame or Texaslike fan bases.

The complaints about the college bowl system remind me a lot of all those callers and e-mailers who insist that they and everyone they know have given up on Jerry Jones and the Cowboys.

I hear it all the time, and I’m hardly alone.

But I was also hardly alone Sunday at Cowboys Stadium where more than 86,000 fans watched an NFC East consolation bracket game between Dallas and Washington.

When people turn off those sets and dismiss the college bowl system, I’ll start wondering if there’s a place for Mark Cuban or perhaps someone with a better handle on the game’s problems to come in and fix it.

CORVALLIS — Jared Cunningham scored 22 points and Roberto Nelson added 14 to lead Oregon State to a 74-54 win against IllinoisChicago on Wednesday night.

In their final tuneup before Pac-10 Conference play, the Beavers (5-6) led by 20 at halftime, and Illinois-Chicago got no closer than 17 afterward.

Robo Kreps had 21 points and seven rebounds, and Paul Carter scored 19 points for the Flames (5-8), who defeated then-12th ranked Illinois four days earlier.

Nelson, a redshirt freshman guard, had the best of his four games as a collegian. He played 16 minutes and was six of eight from the floor, including a 3-pointer.

“The guys just got me open shots,” Nelson said. “The guys were penetrating, and I was just hitting open shots.”

After 18 months in eligibility limbo, the highly-touted recruit from Santa Barbara, Calif., was finally cleared by the NCAA earlier this month.

“It sure is great having somebody who can come off the bench and just hit shots,” Oregon State coach Craig Robinson said.

The Beavers, who lost four of their previous five games, used a 7-0 run during in the first six minutes of the second half to build a 51-26 advantage.

Cunningham added the exclamation point late with a dunk off a long outlet pass from Devon Collier, giving the Beavers a 69-45 lead with 3:54 remaining.

San Francisco and tight end Vernon Davis have a 5-9 record, but they can still win the NFC West with tiebreakers over St. Louis and San Francisco.

St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford has the Rams on the verge of the playoffs as a rookie, although he has struggled of late.

Seattle and receiver Mike Williams will know more about their playoff chances after St. Louis and San Francisco play on Sunday.

49ers are staying in division race despite inconsistencies

Seahawks’ trip to Tampa Bay could be meaningless

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers are an NFL enigma. So bad one week, so good the next — and it’s hard to explain exactly why.

Other than inconsistency, of course.

They have no real identity on offense in large part because of injuries, and the only reason they’re alive in the playoff chase with a lowly 5-9 record: The Niners play in the dreadful NFC West.

“To still be in it, it’s amazing,” tight end Vernon Davis said.

No team has made the playoffs with a losing record in a non-strike season — so, this could be a historymaking first for the West champion. Cleveland and Detroit advanced in the 1982 strike season with 4-5 records when the playoffs were expanded to include eight teams per conference.

“It’s unusual, but let’s not get it twisted. We didn’t make the rules,” San Francisco linebacker Takeo Spikes said defensively. “We live in a society where the rules are made and we’re going to play in them. So we get the opportunity to do that, which we will with these next two games. Hopefully we’ll take care of business and we’ll set ourselves up with the playoffs.

“I don’t worry about what this person may say, what that person may say. If they had the opportunity to be in our shoes right now they would love to. But they can’t. That’s why they’re sitting behind a desk, holding microphones and making opinions. One day I’ll be that person but until that day I’m going to take advantage of my business here.”

Even coach Mike Singletary has been perplexed by this season, by this team he truly thought would be so much better in his second full year in charge. He lists certain players who have had productive years, and points to a pair of rookie offensive linemen who have hung tough through their introduction to the rigors of the pro game.

Yet many have greatly underachieved. There have been quarterback switches and the 49ers have made a lot of the same mistakes that hurt them a year ago in an 8-8 season. That after Singletary and his players thought things were fixed and they were destined to end a seven-year postseason drought.

“It’s never over ’til it’s over,” center David Baas said.

“We’ve got a chance to do something awesome.”

But it could be over as soon as Sunday, when San Francisco plays at St. Louis. A loss and the 49ers are officially done, leaving the Rams and Seahawks to fight for the top spot in the league’s worst division.

San Francisco would have been eliminated last weekend if either Seattle or St. Louis had won, yet neither did.

Having won four of seven, San Francisco actually has been the division’s hottest team of late.

“I never thought we were totally out of it,” rookie running back Anthony Dixon said. “Because until they told us we were out of it, we were in it.”

The hands-down favorite to win the West, San Francisco went unbeaten in the preseason and then started 0-5. Team president Jed York declared his club would still rebound to win the division and make the playoffs, even though no team in NFL history has bounced back from an 0-5 start to advance to the postseason.

ST. LOUIS — Sam Bradford is in a slump, throwing no touchdown passes and five interceptions in the last three games.

The St. Louis Rams’ rookie quarterback insisted Wednesday he hasn’t hit the wall mentally or physically. He’s fired up about leading a team that could secure its first playoff berth since 2004 with victories over the 49ers at home and at Seattle to finish the season.

Even after last week’s loss to the Chiefs, who sacked him three times, intercepted two passes and hit him with regularity, Bradford said he feels better than he did at this point of the year in any of his college seasons at Oklahoma. He credits extra weight added during offseason conditioning.

Bradford insists his eyes never, ever glaze over during late-night video sessions.

“I’m up to the challenge every week,” Bradford said. “I haven’t hit the point where I’m watching film at night and I’m like, ‘OK, what defense, who are we playing again?’

“Everything very clear, so I think that’s a good sign.”

His teammates see no letup.

“Nah, no way,” wide receiver Danny Amendola said. “I don’t believe it. He’s a great player and he’s going to continue to play great.”

The No. 1 pick is having one of the top statistical seasons for a rookie quarterback in NFL history, last week becoming the third to pass for 3,000 yards. He’s also third on the list in attempts and completions, and beyond the rookie numbers he’s one of only six quarterbacks in the NFL to take every snap this season.

That last fact is a point of pride for Bradford, who long ago quieted concerns that his surgically repaired throwing shoulder wouldn’t hold up in the NFL. His statistics the last three games, however, have dropped off. Bradford enjoyed his first career 300yard game with three touchdowns at Denver in Week 11, but since then he’s 57 for 104 for 599 yards against Arizona, New Orleans and Kansas City.

Before the slump, the last two games representing a step up in competition, Bradford threw at least one touchdown pass in 10 of the first 11 games.

No question, he’s not happy with his recent work.

He said it has nothing to do with different strategies defenses have cooked up.

“Obviously, the past couple of weeks I haven’t played as well as I would have liked to,” Bradford said. “It’s frustrating at times, but you can’t get caught up in the past.

“It’s me not being as clean in my reads as I need to be.”

Of course, it’s not all on Bradford that the Rams (68) have scored one touchdown per game the last three weeks. The line has had protection issues, giving up eight sacks in that span and leaving Bradford on the run much of the time. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said the team’s no-name crew of pass catchers has had trouble getting open fast enough.

“It all kind of ties together,” Spagnuolo said. “We all love it when it’s protected perfectly and the ball gets out perfectly on time.”

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks will fly nearly 3,000 miles one-way this weekend to play a game that potentially has no relevance.

Amazing that the Seahawks, with just six wins heading into Week 16, could consider resting players on Sunday at Tampa Bay in a move to improve their chances of reaching the playoffs depending on what happens earlier in the day.

Not that Pete Carroll would consider pulling back.

He was annoyed by the idea when it was brought up on Wednesday.

“That’s not going to be any factor, it’s not going to be in the mindset,” Carroll said. “We’re going to go play the game to win the football game. We can’t afford to do anything but that right now.”

But the reality is that by the time Seattle finally kicks off in Tampa Bay, the Seahawks will know whether their game has any meaning.

A win by St. Louis over San Francisco on Sunday morning makes the Seahawks result insignificant.

The Seahawks could win by 30 or lose by 30 and it would make no difference to who wins the NFC West title. In that scenario, the season finale between Seattle and St. Louis at Qwest Field would decide the division champ.

But if San Francisco wins, the Seahawks likely need wins in their last two games to reach the playoffs.

It didn’t need to be this way for Seattle. Had the Seahawks won at San Francisco two weeks ago, the 49ers would already be eliminated from playoff contention and the Seahawks would have an opportunity to wrap up the division this weekend.

“We’ve had a lot of mulligans this year. I don’t even want to think about it,” Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu said. “I just want to get out there and play ball.”

The struggling Seahawks, having dropped six of eight games, could use at least the slightest bit of consistent play. Offensively, Matt Hasselbeck was yanked from last week’s loss to Atlanta after committing three turnovers in the third quarter that led to 17 Falcons points in their 34-18 win over the Seahawks.

Defensively, Seattle has given up at least 30 points in its last six losses.

So playing well and beating the Buccaneers is certainly still in the front of their minds this week, even if the final outcome Sunday has no bearing on Seattle’s playoff hopes.

“You can’t think about that,” Tatupu said. “You want to get better and keep excelling toward the end of the season. That’s our main focus and that’s our priority.

We definitely want to make the playoffs. Don’t get that misconstrued, but whatever happens, happens. We’re going to play as well as we can and continue to hit our stride at the end of the season.”

Carroll said he’ll be aware of what is going on in St. Louis, but he’ll be trying to block his players from letting whatever is happening in the Midwest affect their approach.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re doing. It really doesn’t. And it shouldn’t. We’ve never turned to those kind of scenarios — back-against-thewall scenario or underdog or favorite or any of that — that’s not the stuff we deal with,” Carroll said.

PHILADELPHIA — He’s built more like a ballboy than a football player, and his end zone antics drive his coach and some of his teammates crazy.

If he keeps making big plays, though, DeSean Jackson can do whatever he wants when he scores.

The diminutive Jackson — he’s generously listed at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds — is one of the most exciting players to watch in any sport. When he gets the ball, he’s a threat to take it the distance from anywhere on the field.

Just ask the New York Giants.

Jackson’s 65-yard punt return on the final play capped an incredible rally last Sunday and gave the Philadelphia Eagles a 3831 win over the Giants in a battle for the NFC East lead.

Of course, Jackson didn’t take the easy route into the end zone.

He stuck the ball in the air and began his celebration around the 5. When he reached the 1, he ran across the field before finally crossing the goal line.

This time, however, Jackson wasn’t showboating. He wanted to make sure there would be no time left on the clock when he scored.

“I did that on purpose,” Jackson told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “Trying to be a smart player.”

Jackson doesn’t always make wise decisions on the field. The speedy wide receiver drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in a 30-27 win over Dallas two weeks ago after a career-best 91yard TD catch because he stopped at the 1, turned his back to the end zone, held the ball out and flopped backward.

In his second game as a rookie in 2008, Jackson committed one of the all-time bonehead plays.

He turned a 61-yard TD catch into a 60-yard reception and fumble because he was so eager to dance that he flipped the ball backward at the 1. That play also was in Dallas and it was in front of a national audience on a Monday night. The Cowboys didn’t pick up the ball, so the Eagles kept possession.

In 2005, Jackson made a similar mental blunder in the U.S. AllAmerican Bowl for high school players. On his way into the end zone after a long catch, he dove from the 5 and landed at the 1.

Perhaps he’s learned from his mistakes because he actually scored against the Giants before throwing the ball into the stands.

Eagles coach Andy Reid and quarterback Michael Vick both made critical comments after Jackson’s backward flop against the Cowboys cost the Eagles 15 yards on the kickoff. Jackson didn’t care for the criticism.

“People dive into the end zone all day — it shouldn’t have been a penalty,” Jackson said. “I turned around backwards, so that is probably why, but I am going to continue to do what I do and to entertain.”

Jackson is one of the top receivers in the NFL, and he’s arguably the most dangerous kick returner along with Chicago’s Devin Hester. Last season, Jackson was the first player ever selected to the Pro Bowl at two positions.

Coming off a 210-yard receiving performance against the Cowboys, Jackson was shut down most of the game by New York.

He had three catches for 52 yards.

But Jackson can make a difference on special teams, so Reid called on him to return a punt after the Eagles rallied from a 21point deficit with 7:18 left to tie it.

Giants rookie Matt Dodge was supposed to kick the ball away from Jackson, but he failed. Jackson made him pay, taking it all the way for his fourth career TD on a punt return.

“I suppose what you’re looking for in a returner is obviously speed, agility and all that, but there are some returners that have an extra quality, they’re able to make something out of nothing, and that’s Devin Hester and DeSean Jackson,” Eagles punter Sav Rocca said. “It’s the ones that can make something out of nothing that you’re a little bit afraid of.

Even if you do your job correctly, it can still fall to pieces at times.”

Jackson has scored a rushing, receiving and punt-return touchdown in each of his first three seasons, becoming only the second player in NFL history to do so. He has 45 catches this season for 1,024 yards and six TDs. He’s also run for 104 yards and a score.

Central Division

The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili finished off the Denver Nuggets for the second time in a week.

There was no doubt about it this time.

Ginobili scored 22 points and buried the go-ahead 3-pointer late in the fourth, and the San Antonio Spurs beat Denver — playing without All-Star Carmelo Anthony following the death of his sister — 109-103 on Wednesday night for their 10th victory in a row.

The Nuggets said Anthony will return after Christmas.

Their next game is Saturday at Oklahoma City.

The victory for the Spurs came six days after Ginobili assured a victory in Denver by drawing a charge with 0.3 seconds left on Anthony, who had thought he scored the winning shot on a hard drive to the basket.

Gary Neal also had 22 points for the Spurs, who outscored the Nuggets 29-14 in the fourth quarter as Denver made just two field goals in the final 5¼ minutes.

“It was a huge fourth quarter,” Ginobili said. “I’m still kind of in shock by the way we won it.”

The Spurs reached their second double-digit winning streak already this season and improved their NBA-best record to 25-3. It ranks among the 11 best starts to a season in NBA history.

Ty Lawson and J.R. Smith led the Nuggets with 22 points apiece, and Kenyon Martin played 17 minutes in his season debut after missing the first 26 games while recovering from knee surgery.

The Nuggets were slow to adjust to San Antonio’s zone defense in the fourth, which coach Gregg Popovich implemented after Denver took an 89-90 lead at the end of the third, mostly thanks to five Denver 3-pointers in the quarter.

Smith, making his first start in three seasons in place of Anthony, was four of five from beyond the arc in the third quarter alone and scored 16 points in the quarter.

“I feel bad because I couldn’t help my team as much as I should against the zone situation,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “I think if we had made some shots early they would have gone away from it. We didn’t have a lot of cohesiveness against their zone attack.”

Anthony’s sister, Michelle Anthony, died of a pre-existing medical condition Tuesday in Baltimore. She had four children.

Anthony traveled with the Nuggets to San Antonio but left early Thursday after receiving word about the death of a family member.

“It brings us down to earth,” Karl said before the game.

“Basketball isn’t the most important thing.”

Redmond’s Brad Carter attempts a three-point shot over a Sprague defender during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s game at Redmond High School.

Panthers Continued from D5 The Panthers (4-2) outscored Sprague, their former Central Valley Conference rival, 20-16 in the second half, and regulation ended with the two teams tied 38-38. Redmond, which has held its last four opponents under 45 points in regulation, pulled out the victory after outscoring the Olympians 15-12 in the two overtimes.

“It’s a good Christmas present for us,” said Porter, whose squad opened the season with two losses before starting its four-game win

streak.

Mitch Dahlen added eight points and Trevor Genz contributed seven. The key, though, was Carter, who has become the Panthers’ main offensive threat as junior Tanner Manselle recovers from a back injury.

“Last year he had the shots, but he didn’t finish,” Porter said about Carter. “The biggest difference this year is he’s going up with two hands, ready to finish. He’s not taking off-balanced one-handed jump shots.”

Redmond is off until Tuesday, when the Panthers play South Eugene in the first round of Medford’s Abby’s Holiday Tournament.

Seniors lead Cowboy wrestling Bulletin staff report PASCO, Wash. — Three Crook County wrestlers placed at the 33-team Best of the West tournament, which concluded Wednesday, helping the Cowboys take fifth place as a team.

Seniors Andy Katzenberger (135 pounds), Trevor Wilson (152) and Trevor Ough (171) all placed third in their respective 32-man brackets.

UConn Continued from D1 But earlier, his team and its fans didn’t act like it.

It was less of a game than a celebration, fans waving, “89” signs in the stands, players wearing “89” T-shirts afterward, Auriemma even leaving his star Maya Moore in the game in the final two minutes with his team leading by 32.

At the final buzzer, the ESPN announcer summed up the atmosphere by claiming, “UConn has one-upped UCLA!” It has not. It cannot. Why would it even want to?

“By saying those sort of things, people not only take credit away from UCLA, but they take credit away from Connecticut,” said Nan Muehlhausen, John Wooden’s daughter, in a phone interview. “If Daddy was alive, he would be very happy for them, he loved women’s basketball. But why can’t they celebrate for what they are?”

A more enduring question, perhaps, is why do we keep doing this to women’s sports?

Why do we keep judging their achievements by those of their male counterparts? Why can’t we just celebrate great female athletes for being, you know, great female athletes?

It’s a waste of precious time, attention and the ideals of gender equity. It’s not equal if you act as if the men’s game is so much more important, you celebrate breaking a men’s record as if you just won a championship.

It’s sort of like the excitement over a women dunking. Why? Who cares if a woman can dunk? That is not why fans love women’s basketball. That’s not what the sport is about.

You never hear a female soccer player trying to compare herself to Beckham, do you?

That’s because women’s soccer, especially in our World-Cup winning country, doesn’t need to be anything else.

The female Huskies indeed broke an incredible record Tuesday night — they broke their own record of 88 consecutive wins. Auriemma is indeed a great coach who should be compared to other great coaches — such as Tennessee’s Pat Summitt and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer.

This should have been yet another night to embrace the fundamental beauty of the

The Best of the West was a two-day event with teams from Washington, Oregon and Idaho. On Tuesday, teams competed in a dual-meet format — Crook County went 31 in four duals — and on Wednesday wrestlers competed in 32-man, single-elimination brackets.

The Cowboys are off until Wednesday, when they compete at the one-day Free Berry Invitational in Pendleton.

women’s game and the incredible consistency of Connecticut in owning it. Instead, TV viewers were treated to cutaway shots of Bill Walton’s hooks and Jamaal Wilkes’ jumpers.

It felt like watching a baseball team attempting to break a record set by football players.

It felt like Sept. 3, 1977. Do you remember that day? Of course not. But judging by Tuesday’s parameters, it was one of the biggest days in sports, the day that Japanese league star Sadaharu Oh hit his 756th career homer, breaking Hank Aaron’s career record.

The achievement was nice, but the comparison a little silly, Oh and Aaron playing the same sport but in vastly different lands.

We slapped a few paragraphs about it in our newspapers and forgot about it a day later.

It should have been the same thing Tuesday. Instead of all the references to UCLA, folks should have focused on Wayland Baptist, a women’s team that won 131 consecutive games from 1953 to 1958. But no, folks say, that team played a completely different game in a vastly different era, so the comparison doesn’t work.

But tying the Connecticut women to the UCLA men does work?

Give credit to the Wooden family for acting as classy as always, with grandson Greg Wooden flying to Hartford and sitting courtside at the game.

When asked about his grandfather and Connecticut, Greg told an interviewer, “He would have been thrilled for them. Absolutely thrilled. It’s obvious the Wooden family is very supportive of Connecticut breaking the record. It’s history. It’s a neat place to be.”

But Nan is right. Why can’t Connecticut be there without giving the impression that it is standing on UCLA’s shoulders?

Nan didn’t watch the Connecticut game Tuesday. She was busy driving to the UCLA men’s game against Montana State. As much as her father loved women’s basketball, if he were alive, he would have probably been headed to the same game.

“It’s still a great streak, but it’s just different,” Nan said. Different isn’t always worse.

Sometimes different is just different. Can’t Connecticut win without UCLA losing?

The Huskies have the best college women’s basketball program in history, and shame on all of us if they need to play against the specter of a men’s team to prove it.

FLY-TYING CORNER

For The Bulletin

If you’re hoping to sneak out of the house over the holidays to ply the waters of the Crooked, the Fall River or the Metolius, here’s a fly tied in the spirit of the season. Tied with wire, its peacock thorax reinforced by biots and other elements, it is a pattern that will keep giving long after Christmas.

Its wire body lends weight and the rubber legs add action and bugginess. Fish this fly under an indicator and consider pairing it with a Scud or a Pheasant Tail. In faster currents, set the indicator at two times the depth.

Tie this pattern with black thread on a No. 14-16 nymph hook. Slide a brass bead up against the eye of the hook.

For the tail, use brown goose

Pheasants Continued from D1 Mike, who owns Top Pin Archery in Sisters, fletched his own arrows with 12-inch white turkey feathers.

To prepare for the hunt, Mike practiced on thrown Frisbees. “I got so I could hit the Frisbee once out of three tries,” he said.

We had the wind in our faces, the sun at our backs. Before us, the Bakeoven Road stretched out toward Mount Hood. We’d picked the only clear day in weeks.

His head up, his nose in the air, Poncho, the German shorthair, coursed back and forth in the tall grass.

Mike was intent. Between us, Bob Krein watched his dog. Out there on the point of our wedge, the pointer had dropped his head and his tail had begun to wag.

Body rigid, his muscles quivered with the scent of the bird. He turned and locked, his eyes on the prize in the grass.

Mike walked up alongside the dog, an arrow nocked. On his left, I stepped into place and the bird came up, cleared the grass and as it towered above the dog, Mike let fly. My brain registered the bird and the arrow in separate planes and I swung my CZ side-by-side up to take it at 25 yards.

Poncho brought the rooster

back, while I reloaded and Mike retrieved his arrow. Only then did it occur to me what a great idea it had been to bring a bowhunter on a bird hunt.

So it went. We hunted out the flat toward the mountain then worked a canyon along a creek, in the junipers and the wild rose.

Poncho pointed, we walked in, the bird flushed, Mike shot and I backed him up. The game bag grew heavy, but the archer had yet to connect on a bird. Worse, he wanted it too bad. He was rattled.

We stopped for lunch when the sun was high in the sky and threw clay pigeons by hand for Mike. The practice seemed to settle our bowhunter down.

Now, with the sun in the west, we gave Mike the opportunity to trade his archery tackle for the 12-gauge. He would not have it, except to let me try my hand at three birds. My first try fell short, but my second arrow went beneath the wing. As close as it gets. My third shot fell short again.

Out on a long flat we hunted where once pioneer wagon wheels had bumped a rutted two-track, where Pony Express riders had pounded the dirt to dust and after them the stagecoach. Not far from where we hunted, a German baker, headed to the gold mines in 1862, had

been attacked by Indians and liberated of his livestock. Set afoot, he built an oven to sell bread to travelers.

“I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something as bad as I want this,” Mike said. Minutes later, a pheasant flushed out of the grass. Mike missed it and I missed it, an easy shot that I should have made with the 20-gauge. I watched the bird alight 300 yards away at the base of a transmission tower.

There were other birds to chase. But an hour later, we walked back past the tower and Poncho went on point. Last chance, I thought.

In a moment, the bird was in the air. Mike’s arrow and the arc of the bird intersected in time and space. The arrow bounced off and the bird regained its strength. We watched it fly. Mike picked up a few feathers and held them to the sky.

The only one who didn’t give up was the shorthair.

Another 300 yards out, we saw Poncho stop, point and then turn back toward us. Mike’s hardearned bird was in his mouth.

No need to dream — trails will be white this Christmas

By Heidi Hagemeier The Bulletin

It is definitely going to be a white Christmas.

Even the lowest-elevation summer trails in the Deschutes National Forest are now under at least a few inches of snow, according to Chris Sabo, the forest’s trails specialist. And weather forecasters are calling for a chance of snow every day into the holiday weekend.

That means people need to use common sense: While it’s relatively safe now to ski, snowshoe and snowmobile in the forest, hazards may still be concealed by thin snow cover, particularly at lower elevations. Snow depth is up to 8 feet in some higher elevations in the forest.

Sabo expects heavy traffic at sno-parks throughout the holiday weekend. He urged users to be patient and practice good trail etiquette, or perhaps even have second- or third-choice destinations. Parking at popular sno-parks like Dutchman Flat, Virginia Meissner, Wanoga, Ten Mile and Upper Three Creek will likely fill up early.

With heavy use and variable weather, Sabo also noted that the likelihood of accidents increases.

He encouraged snow enthusiasts to be prepared when they venture out with proper gear and clothing for the activity.

Recreationists approaching Elk Lake or the Crescent Lake Ranger District should also be on the lookout for potential hazards from logging. The road to Elk Lake from the south has residual effects from plowing, although the logging project is now finished due to the early snow.

Winter logging operations will impact snowmobile trails in the Crescent Ranger District. For more information, call the district office at 541-433-3200.

hen the snow starts to fly in town, I like to head east.

Don’t get me wrong; I like snow. I’m an avid downhill skier, a snowboard dabbler and an occasional snowshoer. I have no problem with the cold, or the white stuff it brings.

But in my mind, fall and early winter are the time to hit the desert east of Bend, to get one last glimpse of actual trails made of earth, not buried in snow.

Of course, when the snow flies the way it has over the past couple of weeks, even the desert turns into a winter wonderland.

That was the case Tuesday morning at Horse Ridge Recreation Area about 15 miles southeast of town. I decided to delay my workday by taking a quick hike around the flats north of Horse Ridge, and checking out the newly improved Horse Ridge Trailhead, as touted by the Prineville District of the Bureau of Land Management in an e-mail I received Monday.

Between my house on Bend’s western edge and my destination, however, were two stops: day care for my daughter, and some processed-egg McProtein for me. So it was midmorning by the time I finally pointed my car east and sped down U.S. Highway 20 with some of my favorite music of the year blaring.

Vegetarians and vegans Got yule overload? Enjoy nonholiday TV weigh in on meaty issues

By Diane Werts Newsday

Dear Abby: I am writing about the letter from “Turkey Eater in Texas” (Nov. 12), who resented having a vegan Thanksgiving to accommodate two family members. I think your answer missed what being a gracious host is about. The entire meal shouldn’t have to consist of vegan items. However, it wouldn’t be a big deal to serve a vegan main dish and have those individuals also bring their favorite items. Making them bring a complete meal excludes them from a family gathering, and what fun is that?

After your column ran, my father called to tell me that holiday dinners would no longer accommodate my daughter’s celiac disease. She’s 9 and struggles with being “different.” When she ingests gluten, she has cramps and vomiting, loses weight and risks significant long-term consequences.

Next year, we will host the holiday dinners. Our extended family can join us — or not. The bottom line is that if you exclude family (for being vegan or having celiac disease), you’ve done the opposite of what holidays are about.

— Kaye in Alabama Dear Kaye: That’s true. What bothered me about the letter from “Turkey Eater” was the idea that his brother expected him to cater the entire Thanksgiving dinner to his nieces’ preference to eat vegan. If the writer had said he had been asked to ensure there were dishes that would not inflame (literally) his nieces’ serious medical condition, I would have answered differently.

What has surprised me about the comments I have received from readers about that letter has been the amount of prejudice and anger expressed against vegetarians by more than a few.

But read on for some responses from vegans:

DEAR ABBY “I encourage people to please get over the stigma of vegan/ vegetarian and sample something new once in a while.”

— Rachel in Seattle Dear Abby: I am a vegan in a meat-and-potatoes family. For 15 years I have spent every holiday and family gathering listening to them degrade my food choices and try to “convert” me back to my “senses.” I have never expected them to cook for me. I always pack my own foods since they are unwilling to branch out and try new foods. When I have brought a dish, they all loved it, as long as they didn’t know it was vegan and that I had prepared it.

I find many people are resentful if we host a dinner party with only vegan food. They expect us to accommodate them by cooking meat, but feel we should fend for ourselves at a function they hold.

I encourage people to please get over the stigma of vegan/vegetarian and sample something new once in a while. If I can endure every family gathering taking place at a steakhouse, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have one night when they experience how tasty food without meat in it can be.

— Rachel in Seattle Dear Abby: I am 31 and have been a vegetarian my entire life.

I come from a meat-loving family and have never insisted they change an entire meal to accommodate my eating habits. Instead, I take food I know I will eat and share it with everyone else.

“Turkey Eater’s” vegan relatives

It still isn’t Christmas, but plenty of people have had ho-hoho enough already.

Lucky for them, nonholiday viewing will run almost as rampant as seasonal excess in the next few days. Channels have lined up marathons of drama, comedy, movies, documentaries and reality TV to provide respite from yule overload.

should realize they’re in the minority. If they each brought a vegan-friendly dish or two, they’d have three to six things to choose from — and that’s plenty.

— Eating Well in New Mexico Dear Abby: I chose veganism for many reasons, none of which is to be a pain in the keister — either by lecturing/ scolding others, or by having high-maintenance expectations. I feel it’s important to be flexible, especially at gettogethers. What I value most about holidays is sharing a meal with people I love. If I want a completely vegan Thanksgiving, it should be one that I host and prepare.

To expect that of nonvegetarians is not only unreasonable, but also difficult, since many people are inexperienced in how to cook vegan.

My family Thanksgiving has an array of omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Dad loves to cook and makes sure there’s something for everyone. I help bake pies, others bring a vegan dish and everyone is content. Sometimes the vegetarian dishes are so delicious, the omnivores salivate.

Mutual respect is of utmost importance. Being militant or demanding can bring a negative perspective to vegetarianism. If we want others to empathize with us, we need to do the same.

Mariah Carey’s hubby announces twins

Spacey’s impressions highlight ‘Casino Jack’

NEW YORK — Mariah Carey is going to be a mom twice over.

Nick Cannon announced on his radio show recently that his wife is expecting twins.

Said Cannon on New York’s 92.3 station: “I haven’t even told my wife I doing this, Mariah Carey so I’m probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission. ... We are having twins!”

Carey, 40, and Cannon, 30, have been the subject of a baby watch since they got married two years ago.

WASHINGTON — Kevin Spacey not only transforms into disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff in “Casino Jack,” he gets to imitate former Presidents Clinton and Reagan, Al Pacino and many others.

In an interview, Spacey says Abramoff was a movie buff who was always doing impressions.

Spacey is a talented impressionist, too, so he made sure several impersonations were added to the script.

Spacey is up for a Golden Globe for his performance.

Court: Rapper DMX sentenced to prison PHOENIX — Court officials in Arizona say the rapper known as DMX has had his probation revoked and is heading to prison for one year.

The Maricopa County Superior Court issued the ruling Thursday against the rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons.

Simmons was arrested last month for violating probation.

He told KSAZ-TV in Phoenix he was kicked out of a drug treatment program because he had a drink at a Scottsdale club during a performance.

Court documents allege Simmons failed to submit to drug testing and drove on a suspended license.

Gibson’s ‘The Beaver’ due out in March LOS ANGELES — Mel Gibson’s next movie finally has a release date.

Distributor Summit Ente r t a i n m e n t announced recently that Gibson’s comic drama “The Beaver” will open in limited release Mel Gibson next March 23 and expand to more theaters April 8.

The film has been in limbo amid Gibson’s custody battle with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who claims he physically abused her.

“The Beaver” is directed by Jodie Foster and stars Gibson as a troubled family man trying to cope with help from an unusual friend — a beaver puppet he wears on his hand.

Blaze erupts on Kings of Leon tour buses LONDON — Sixty firefighters have tackled a blaze that engulfed two tour buses belonging to the band Kings of Leon at London’s O2 Arena.

London Fire Brigade said 12 engines were called Friday to battle the fire in a loading bay.

No one was injured in the fire.

Seating areas of the arena were unaffected.

Deputies investigating Lohan for battery LOS ANGELES — Authorities say Lindsay Lohan is being i nves t igated for an alleged misdemeanor battery against a female staffer at a rehab facility where the actress is receiving Lindsay Lohan treatment.

Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela says officers responded to a Betty Ford Center facility early Dec. 12 for an incident involving Lohan.

Valenzuela says a female staffer reported having a dispute with the Lohan and that she wanted to pursue charges. No arrests were made. Valenzuela says detectives continue to look into the case.

Palace: Zara Phillips to be married LONDON — Prince William and Kate Middleton will soon have company on the royal wedding calendar. Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday that Zara Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest granddaughter, is engaged.

Phillips, an accomplished Zara Phillips equestrian, said she was shocked but “very happy” that her rugbyplaying boyfriend Mike Tindall had proposed.

No date has been set yet. Phillips is close friends with her cousin, Prince William, who plans to marry Middleton at Westminster Abbey on April 29. Their engagement was announced last month.

Phillips, 29, is 12th in line to the throne.

The 32-year-old Tindall has played 66 times for England and was in the team that won the 2003 World Cup. It was during the tournament that he first met Phillips in a Sydney bar. Tindall plays for club side Gloucester and is still a regular in the national side.

The palace said in a statement that the couple got engaged Monday evening at their home in western England.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010: This year, open up to different ideas.

You are processing and changing right in front of others. Some friends might not notice for a while, while others are amazed. As a result of these profound changes, those closely connected to you grow in new ways, making for stronger ties.

Stress results from change. Take better care of your health. If you are single, the person you choose today might not be the person you would choose in a year. Try not to make any major life commitments this year.

Simply get to know a special or new person better. If you are attached, the two of you will be breaking new ground, thus adding vigor and excitement to the relationship. LEO zeros in on what is important.

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 Open your eyes to a kid’s mind-set. You will breeze through work and play with more spontaneity and happiness. Should someone toss a snafu in your path, it won’t have an impact. Tonight: Get into the spirit. Go caroling, help decorate a tree or sip eggnog.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might opt to finish up holiday details. At the last minute, you could take on a new project or rush out the door. Did you forget someone? Or is this dash the result of forgetting a work-related matter? Tonight: Close to home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHHH Finally, you have the right words and others can hear you.

Or do they? Someone quite close could act as if he or she hasn’t heard you, but you can be sure that you hit the bull’s-eye. You don’t need to hammer in an opinion. Tonight: Start a round of gift-giving.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Those impulses that encourage you to go out and spend might attack again. Be sure this is what you really want to do. Pressure from a loved one or family member might be dealt with in another manner. Be creative. Tonight: Your treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Note a new sense of direction when you wake. Follow your instincts. Naturally, you seem to make an adjustment in problem situations, eliminating issues.

Your personality and intellect meld. Others respond to your magnetism. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be willing to observe. If you feel out of sorts or hurt by another person’s comments, consider that you could be unusually sensitive.

How much are you playing out an old wound? A child or loved one seeks you out. Tonight: Surround yourself with music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Once more, pressure mounts.

How much of this feeling is coming from your own judgments of what you need to do? No one else is pressuring you but you. In that context, you can make another choice. Friends help you let go.

Tonight: And the party goes on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of an older relative and his or her expectations.

Communication affects your plans.

Understanding evolves between you and others. Remember, you are going through a similar experience.

Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Stop. Take five minutes to reflect on what must be done before Christmas, both personally and perhaps professionally. Don’t forget someone who is often in your thoughts but not present.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A partner’s or dear friend’s approach touches you. Let this person know how much you appreciate his or her support and caring. It is a good time to stop and share on a deep level. Tonight: Be as open as you can be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You give friendship to those you care about. They in return express loyalty and deep caring. Don’t fight this open exchange between you and others. You discover the true purpose of this situation. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Listen to what is being shared between you and those who are part of your day-to-day life. Take time today to express your authentic feelings. That might be more important than the Christmas-present ritual.

Tonight: Join a co-worker or friend for some holiday cheer. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

le at its other side, which says “The Other Side of Nowhere.”

After hitching a ride back down the mountain, we pick up our bikes, grind up a pass and ride a few more hours back to our tents.

The hush that blankets the mesas and canyons is exquisite.

Cox Newspapers

BIG BEND RANCH STATE PARK, Texas — Blood oozes from my cactus-shredded calves and I slam into rocks with such force I’m sure my bike will self-destruct, but I can’t contain a whoop of glee as I bomb down a desert trail.

I’ve come to remote Big Bend Ranch State Park, just west of the better-known Big Bend National Park, for a four-day bike trek.

We’re pedaling and camping our way through the land of tarantulas, sand and star-splashed night skies on what has been dubbed “The Ride to the Other Side of Nowhere.”

The timing is perfect. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is pushing this sprawling West Texas landscape as a mountain bikers’ mecca, and the International Mountain Bicycling Association just named the Fresno-Sauceda Loop Trail through the park, which we overlap, one of only two “epic” mountain bike rides in the Southwest.

It’s easy to see why.

“It’s not just the quality of riding, from great singletrack to creeks to old Jeep roads, but it also has this incredible geology,” said Jeff Renfrow, president of the Big Bend Trails Alliance, a nonprofit trail advocacy group.

The park offers diversity that few mountain biking destinations can match. “You’re looking across into another country, the archeology, the more modern ranching history. ... It’s just all there.”

It’s a trip that requires meticulous planning, but it’s a magical excursion through a more than 300,000-acre lunar landscape bristling with prickly plants, strewn with brick- and bowling ball-sized rocks and dotted with abandoned mines and crumbling ranch homes.

And each night comes with the best reward — the satisfaction of miles hard-earned, meals cooked over a campfire and the biggest sky in the Wild West.

Day 1 22 miles from West Contrabando Trailhead to Pila Montoya III campsite We start our odyssey just west of Lajitas, at the West Contrabando Trailhead, named for smugglers who once sneaked candelilla wax across the border

Day 3

Pam LeBlanc / Cox Newspapers

Chris LeBlanc pushes his bike up a steep hill at Big Bend Ranch State Park, Texas. near here. Yipping like coyotes, we sprint down the first mile of trail, then reassess. We need to conserve our strength — and preserve our bodies — as we crunch along these rugged trails.

“Start slow, then taper off after lunch,” said Dan Sholly, deputy director of parks for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

In addition to Sholly, our crew includes Barrett Durst, the new superintendent of the park; my husband, Chris; and my friend Marcy Stellfox.

David Riskind, director of natural resources for the department, is driving a support vehicle and filling us in on the cultural history of the place. He’ll meet us at camp at night, saving us from having to haul all our gear.

We’re wearing hydration packs on our backs and carrying snacks. We’ve also got spare tires and tubes, and basic tools in case of mechanical problems.

Our bikes are outfitted with selfhealing Slime tubes.

Although much of the cactus has been removed from the trails, there are still plenty of skin-snagging plants around to turn the prettiest leg into a bloody mess.

But I’m in heaven as I chug along. I love the feeling of using my bike (and body) as it was intended to be used.

Soon, we meet what we quickly dub the “soul-sucking sand.” Trying to pedal through it is like trying to swim through quicksand.

We stop at the ruins of a rock house built in 1897, the abandoned Whit-Roy Mine, a rock overhang decorated with hand-

prints thousands of years ago, and a spring-fed creek that cuts a startling line through a sunbaked backdrop.

At about 5 p.m., we roll into camp. It’s one of 55 new sites scattered throughout the park, so isolated that it would take hours to reach the nearest medical clinic.

Tents pitched, we work together to prep veggies and grill pork loin.

Day 2 29 miles from Pila Montoya III to the Solitario and back The day starts with a slow climb, but the road is relatively smooth at first. In a few hours we’re at the Solitario, a collapsed and eroded structural dome that stretches 10 miles.

After lunch, we plunge into some of the most intense terrain we’ll face all week. The hillsides around our trail close in. We twist over old ranch roads and up and down steep grades. Then it gets really tough.

After lunch we’re back to manageable terrain. I spin past a fistsized tarantula trucking across the road.

At a spur, we ditch our bikes and pile into Riskind’s fourwheel-drive support vehicle for the white-knuckle ride up to what park staffers call Nowhere.

The road follows the shoulder of the hillside, then stops cold. A century ago, crews drilled a test mine here but didn’t find anything. They left the road for us.

We hop out, admire a sign that says “Nowhere” and then chuck-

25 miles from Pila Montoya III to Mexicano II campsite The highlight of today’s ride is the roughly five-mile stretch of mostly downhill singletrack leading to the Sauceda Ranger Station. It dips and soars, unraveling like a spool of ribbon in front of us. Most of the miles in this park don’t come easy, but this morning they do, and it’s bliss.

The afternoon turns into a protracted uphill clamber, but it’s beautiful. We watch buzzards circle hopefully overhead and then spot a rangy coyote trotting into the distance.

I’m finally in the groove.

The cacti are taking their toll, though. My legs look like someone rubbed them on a cheese grater.

Day 4 25 miles from Mexicano II to Lajitas It’s mainly downhill, with a few slogs through the dreaded soul-sucking sand.

We crest a pass and break for lunch, admiring one of the prettiest vistas of the trek.

We can see for miles. Then it’s onward down a bouncing, bike-jostling screamer of a trail. At one point, I launch myself off my bike, landing elbow-first in a cactus. Just a few hours from the finish, we take a quick detour to test a singletrack loop. It’s a roller coaster blast up and down stair-steppy ledges and banked turns.

Back on the main road, we chew up the last few miles of the home stretch, admiring the hazy outline of the Chisos Mountains in the distance.

This place is unforgiving and harsh, but in the fading light it’s soft and gentle, too. And best seen by bike.

Thanks in part to a long downhill grade and “Digging For Something,” an amazing, upbeat song by the pop-rock band Superchunk, I was moving a bit too fast when that sign flew by.

A quick U-turn put me back on course, and before I knew it, I’d arrived at the trailhead, with its expansive new parking area and three picnic tables, including one that is accessible to people with disabilities.

For now, those tables are shelves for snow. In a few months, though, they’ll be a great place to hang and have a bite to eat before tackling Horse Ridge’s system of trails.

Horse Ridge Recreation Area is a 40-square-mile patch of lava and juniper that is managed for nonmotorized use; hikers, joggers, cyclists and horses are allowed, but cars and ATVs are not, except on a few designated corridors.

On a cold Tuesday morning, the place was pretty desolate, besides the occasional roar of a gravel track barreling down the road. I followed two sets of tracks — one human, one more adventurous canine — that headed down an eastbound path, acutely aware of the sound of the snow crunching beneath my feet.

With Horse Ridge’s namesake ridges rising to my right, I tromped around for a while, winding my way through a sea of twisted juniper trees. Some of them, with their gnarled branches and wavy, million-shades-ofgray bark, actually looked kind of pretty to me.

“I must really be becoming an Central Oregonian,” I thought.

Or maybe I said it aloud, to no one in particular.

The tracks led me down into a little gully at the foot of the north-

ernmost ridge, which looked as if it had been filled to the brim with a pitcher full of scrubby shrubs.

Eventually, I ran up against the Horse Ridge Research Natural Area, an ungrazed 600-acre “research and study plot for Western juniper big sagebrush plant communities,” according to the BLM. The area provides important habitat for elk, mule deer, pronghorn, golden eagles and more, though I saw no wildlife, really.

Which was fine with me, as I spent the last little bit of my walk wondering how I would evade a man-eating predator with ice blocks for feet.

The big, looping path never went uphill much, and it never went downhill much; it was pretty much an easygoing, solitary walk in the High Desert. Eventually, it took me past a cool, old, rusted oil drum and back toward my car, which looked just as lonely and cold as I felt. Together, we zoomed back up the highway, back toward Bend, a driveway that needs shoveling and other snowy tasks.

Relaxed and refreshed, I headed back to the office to work and thaw out. And the next time I want to escape the snow, I’m going to let momentum and the sounds of Superchunk carry me all the way to Boise or something.

Mountain View Hospital in Madras is trying to wipe out hospital-acquired infections by going right to the source — the patients’ rooms.

Cyclists may find comfort in BikeYoga

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

BEDSIDE TABLE TELEPHONE HANDRAIL DOOR HANDLE BED SURFACE TRAY TABLE

Hidden in plain sight When a patient vacates a room at Mountain View Hospital in Madras, there are certain areas that the cleaning crews are required to disinfect — some obvious, and some not so obvious.

The dozen or so people gathered to see Uma Kleppinger a few weeks ago at an event at Sunnyside Sports in Bend had various complaints.

Most of them were cyclists, and Kleppinger had heard most of their complaints before.

They said they had sore hips, tight shoulders and aching backs. They were stiff, they said, and their legs felt tight or heavy.

Kleppinger, who began cycling as a bike messenger in New York City more than two decades ago, teaches BikeYoga, yoga poses and stretching uniquely tailored for cyclists.

“Anybody that’s spending a lot of time in the saddle will have those problems,” she said. A specifically tailored yoga program, she said, can help cyclists feel better and ride better, too.

Athletes who train hard in one sport can be prone to injuries related to their sport. Runners can be sidelined with bad knees; swimmers face a risk of shoulder problems.

Bikers face their own set of issues. Hunched over handlebars for hours on end, sitting in the same position, repeating the same motion, cyclists can end up with stiff bodies.

“Just noticing the places where we’re weak, tight or unbalanced, sometimes that’s enough.”

The

battle against germs

By Markian Hawryluk • The Bulletin

T

his summer, a call that a patient was being discharged from Mountain View Hospital in Madras would get Cathy Luther running. The hospital infection prevention nurse wanted to get there quickly, before staff arrived to clean and prepare the room for the next patient.

Luther would secretly mark several key areas of the room with an invisible GloGerm gel, designed to spread the way real germs do. After the room was cleaned, she would go back with a black light and see if the cleaning was adequate.

“The results weren’t optimal,” Luther said.

Although the hospital was cited earlier this year as having one of the lowest rates of hospital-acquired infections in the state, every spot of gel glowing under the black light represented one more chance of a patient picking up an

infection in the hospital. She wasn’t going to be happy until each room came through spotless.

The hospital had its environmental services manager draw up very detailed instructions on how to clean a room, the sink, the toilet, every article in the room. The cleaning staff was trained on the protocol and then tested and retested to see if they’d retained it. And then Luther went back and GloGerm-tested the rooms again. The results were better but still not perfect. They’d go back to training the staff again until it was.

It’s all part of an ambitious goal taken on by Mountain View, to have not a single surgical-site infection over a one year period through June 2011. But as the gel testing showed, it will take nearly every single staff member in the hospital — and even the patients themselves — to pull it off.

Questions (and answers) on new vitamin D advice

By Melissa Healy Los Angeles Times

A recent vitamin D report from the Institute of Medicine forced a lot of people to reconsider the essential nutrient.

Here’s a look at what the expert panel said, and why it reached its controversial conclusions.

How much vitamin D did the experts say is necessary?

For most children, teens and adults, a daily dose of 400 international units (IUs) of the vitamin is sufficient, and 600 IUs are recommended. Seniors older than 70 should ideally receive 800 IUs of vitamin D a day, the panel determined.

For babies younger than 1, the panel considered 400 IUs of vitamin D enough.

Those levels are somewhat higher than the ones set in 1997, the last time a government panel examined vitamin D intake.

But they are far below what many doctors and supplement advocates had been urging.

Why weren’t they higher?

The idea that people could benefit from daily doses as high as 2,000 IUs is based on the belief that vitamin D can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disturbances, depression and certain cancers.

A slew of recent studies has linked low levels of vitamin D to an increased incidence of these health problems. But the expert panel concluded that the studies were not convincing — many, in fact, showed no such connection — so it based its recommendations only on the amount of vitamin D needed to maintain bone health and prevent fractures.

N TAKE YOUR VITAMINS: A regular look at the sources and benefits of vitamins and minerals.

Potassium Potassium is an essential dietary mineral and electrolyte found in leafy greens, vine-grown fruits, root vegetables and citrus fruits. The body needs to tightly regulate potassium concentrations both inside and outside of cells to function normally.

A low blood level of potassium is referred to as hypokalemia and is usually caused by an excessive loss of potassium, such as with prolonged vomiting, use of diuretics, kidney disease or metabolic problems. It can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps, and intestinal paralysis.

Severe hypokalemia can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can be fatal.

In rare cases, eating large amounts of black licorice has resulted in hypokalemia. Licorice contains a compound that increases urinary excretion of potassium. Low dietary intake of potassium is generally not enough to cause hypokalemia but can increase the risk of several chronic diseases.

Several large epidemiological studies have suggested that increased potassium intake is associated with decreased risk of stroke, kidney stones, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. Such studies can find associations but can’t prove a causal link.

sure and kidney stones, can increase levels of vitamin D in the bloodstream.

Continued from F1 Does that mean I should give up my vitamin D supplements?

Maintaining a healthy level of vitamin D through diet alone has become much easier since manufacturers began fortifying foods with the nutrient.

Fortified foods — including virtually all milk, many brands of orange juice, and some cheeses, yogurts, margarines and breakfast cereals — are now some of the richest dietary sources of vitamin D. High levels exist naturally in fatty fish such as tuna, salmon and mackerel, and it’s also present in egg yolks and beef liver.

But there are a lot of people who may still need to add a vitamin D pill to their daily diet.

For instance, people who follow a vegan diet need to look hard for supplemental sources of vitamin D, as do those with milk allergies, lactose intolerance, and people who rarely eat fish.

“We didn’t actually say in the report that supplementation is verboten,” said Dr. Glenville Jones, an endocrinologist at the University of Queensland in Canada who was on the expert panel.

So I should keep on buying foods fortified with vitamin D? Definitely, says Katherine Tallmadge, a registered nutritionist and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, which endorsed the panel’s report. In fact, the fortification of foods probably contributed significantly to the panel’s finding that most North Americans get enough of the nutrient, even as they raised the recommended daily levels.

Bananas are well known for their high levels of potassium.

Can’t I get some of the vitamin D I need from the sun?

Indeed, the sun is a free, plentiful source of vitamin D. When the sun shines on human skin for at least five to 15 minutes, the body produces the nutrient. But with people spending more time indoors and using sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, this source has fallen on hard times. In fact, the panel didn’t even factor in vitamin D from sun exposure when it made its recommendations.

Does that mean I should lay off the sunscreen?

The sun can be a powerful manufacturer of the nutrient: In 15 minutes, a light-skinned person wearing a bathing suit outside in early July will produce 15,000 to 20,000 IUs of vitamin D. The body stores excess vitamin D in fat, and some research suggests that it is released as needed. But there’s debate about how well that happens, so the panel members suggest that daily dosing of vitamin D is a better bet.

Besides, even 15 minutes without sunscreen won’t fly with dermatologists. They warn that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light — either from the sun or in a tanning booth — elevates a person’s risk of developing melanoma,

Tony Cenicola / New York Times News Service

Many foods are fortified with vitamin D, including milk. the deadliest form of skin cancer.

So, by all means, slather on that sunscreen.

Are there any groups of people for whom the need for vitamin D supplementation is likely to be higher?

Though the institute’s report assumed away the sun as a source of Vitamin D, it acknowledged that “incidental exposure” plays a role in propping up everybody’s levels of the nutrient. For the elderly, that added buffer is largely lost. So among healthy people, those older than 70 need to take in more vitamin D. Breast milk is not a source of vitamin D, so breastfed babies — particularly those who are dark-skinned — should be considered candidates for supplementation from the first week of life. Formula is typically fortified with vitamin D. Some prescription medications, including the anti-seizure drugs Phenobarbital, Dilantin and Tegretol, appear to depress levels of circulating vitamin D, suggesting that some people with epilepsy should consider supplementation.

Diuretics called thiazides, which are used to treat high blood pres-

I was told I was deficient in vitamin D. Is it true?

Vitamin D deficiency has been defined and tested in widely varying ways. Lab tests for the nutrient have different standards, different methods and sometimes test for different indicators of vitamin D deficiency.

So the first things to ask are: Who said you were deficient, and what measure did they use? Physicians and dietitians reading the IOM report’s specialized appendices may be reconsidering what constitutes sufficiency in the coming months.

Is there such a thing as too much vitamin D? The expert panel’s compre-

hensive report is unlikely to lay this question to rest, although its advice was clear: Taking more than 4,000 IUs of vitamin D a day is risky. Too much Vitamin D can cause kidney stones and hypercalcemia, which in turn can lead to headaches, anxiety, depression, fatigue, stomach pain, cardiac arrhythmia, muscle weakness, aches, pains and fractures. Daily doses above 10,000 IUs a day are known to cause tissue and kidney damage, the panel said.

In thinking about the safe upper limit that the panel proposed, keep in mind that the experts were looking for the amount needed by healthy people to maintain their bones. The panel wasn’t convinced that higher levels of vitamin D could prevent or treat other diseases, so it had little tolerance for the risks associated with mega-doses.

M Insurance for long-term care can become a pricey puzzle linson, senior vice president for long-term care at Avalere Health.

For many people, that’s going to mean patching together a safety net that consists of savings, caregiver help from friends and family, support from local community services and perhaps long-termcare insurance.

Care isn’t cheap. In 2009, the average cost for a home health aide was $21 an hour, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. A private room in a nursing home cost $219 daily on average, though there are wide variations depending on location.

A one-bedroom unit in an assisted living facility was $3,131 per month, on average.

By Michelle Andrews Special to The Washington Post

People don’t like to think about what will happen if they become too ill or infirm to manage on their own. Experts say that partly explains why sales of long-termcare insurance policies are so anemic; only about 10 percent of seniors have such coverage.

Given the complexity of these policies, experts agree it’s tough to decide whether they’re right for you. The policies have many moving parts: After a waiting period, they generally pay a set daily benefit for a certain number of years.

They typically cover care in a nursing home, an assisted living facility or at home.

They also tend to have high premiums. A 60-year-old might pay $200 a month for a policy that pays $150 a day for a maximum of three years, according to a 2009 study by Avalere Health, a research and consulting firm, and the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Purchasing at a younger age can help trim premium costs.

But since people typically don’t make a claim until they’re 80 years old or so, that can be a long lead time, especially when you’ve got college tuitions to pay or may be worried about losing your job.

Recent turmoil in the longterm-care insurance market adds further uncertainty. MetLife, one of the largest carriers, announced it will no longer sell the policies starting next year, and John Hancock, another major issuer, has asked regulators for premium increases averaging 40 percent for 850,000 policyholders.

Possible solutions In the future, people may be able to take advantage of the Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act, or CLASS Act. This is a program created under the new health care law to help people with functional or cognitive impairments pay for

In 2009, the average cost for a home health aide was $21 an hour, while a nursing home room averaged $219 a day. nonmedical services to help them stay in their homes. The money can also be used to cover nursing home care.

Premiums and benefits have yet to be set, but one estimate, by the Congressional Budget Office, suggested a cash benefit averaging $75 a day. Enrollment won’t begin until 2012 at the earliest, however, and people will have to pay premiums for at least five years before they’re eligible to receive benefits.

What’s a consumer to do in the meantime?

Unfortunately, existing government programs aren’t much help to middle-income people. Medicare provides only limited nursing home and home health care coverage. Medicaid, the health insurance program for low-income people, pays for about 70 percent of nursing home patients. But in order to qualify, people must generally have no more than a few thousand dollars in assets.

“People need to think about it very holistically,” says Anne Tum-

Cost considerations Two years ago, when her mother was in the last stages of Alzheimer’s disease, LuMarie Polivka-West’s parents sold their home and moved to an assisted living facility in Tallahassee. After her mother’s death last year, PolivkaWest and her two brothers moved their father, now 96, to another assisted living facility a bit closer to LuMarie’s home.

LuMarie and her two brothers help supplement their dad’s $1,600 monthly Social Security check and the money left from the sale of his home to cover his living expenses, including the $3,400 monthly charge at the assisted living facility. As a nurse practitioner, her younger brother is able to manage their father’s medications, saving him the $600 a month that the assisted living facility would charge for this service.

The family discussed buying long-term-care insurance at one time but decided against it, partly because of the cost.

“My parents planned well, but they lived longer than expected,” says LuMarie. Her father’s assets will run out in two to three years.

“We’ll help maintain Dad in the assisted living facility as long as

possible,” she says.

About 10 years ago, Charline Hines and her husband also discussed buying a long-term-care policy. But they made the opposite decision: They bought one. Hines says the policy was useful when her husband was dying of Parkinson’s disease a few years ago and had to go into a nursing home near their home in Grand Prairie, Texas.

But Hines, 78, just received a notice that her premium was going up in January, from $2,772 a year to $3,132. Now she’s seriously considering dropping the policy. “I feel it’s time to just let it go,” she says.

For people who are considering buying a policy, call a few local facilities to get an idea of costs in the area. Since the average stay in a nursing home is about 2.5 years, many experts advise buying a policy that will provide benefits for about that long. Inflation protection is also key, to keep pace with rising costs. A policy with 5 percent compound inflation protection is the gold standard.

Look for a company with strong financial ratings and a history of stable rates. New York Life and Northwestern Mutual, for example, have never raised premiums on existing policies. Those companies are the exception, however.

If you buy a long-term-care policy, expect that premiums will go up.

“I’m telling people now that they need to build a 50 percent rate increase into their planning,” says Bonnie Burns, a specialist with California Health Advocates, an advocacy organization.

I am Dr. David Herrin, DC. I run the only Non-Surgical Decompression Center of its kind in Central Oregon.

I see people reduce pain medications, avoid surgery, and get their life back -- every day... and all that without surgery. Yes, you heard me right. I specialize in disc degeneration, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.

Discover What The Pro Athletes Are Using To Get Out Of Pain -- Without Surgery If you haven’t heard of non-surgical decompression yet, it’s a shame.

People all over the country are embracing this therapy. There are PGA pros, professional football players, and people just like you getting back to their old self -- Fast!

Here is the “conventional” procedure for back pain patients. “Take these drugs and get some rest. Let’s see what happens in a month.” When that doesn’t work there’s always the option of getting a needle filled with steroids placed directly into your back. Down the road when it’s finally bad enough you may need surgery. This might seem like a good plan for some. I work with those who want to get their old life back without going under the knife.

If you have fallen for that trap and are in desperate need of relief of back pain, you should read on.

Forgive Me For Expressing My Opinion About Surgery -- I Hated

To See My Grandma Suffer How many surgeries does it take to get it right? Two, three, four ... my sweet Grandma had seven before it was a success. Talk about suffering. Maybe you see why I believe surgery should be a last resort. Do you have that kind of time?

I have a better solution. People in my office get out of pain fast, and can be back doing the things they love while they are being treated.

And you don’t have to feel like you are a drug addict to feel good.

The New Solution -- Fast And Long-Lasting Relief We have a non-surgical, non-drug solution. And it’s fast and effective.

It’s called non-surgical spinal decompression. Let me give you the low down on this groundbreaking technology.

This is a computerized decompression machine that stretches the spine in a unique way.

It creates negative pressure deep in the diseased disc. The negative pressure acts like a vacuum that pulls the disc material away from the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Eliminating pain and symptoms.

And at the same time the negative pressure pulls nutrients, water and oxygen into the disc. You see with disc diseases, the disc is actually sick! It’s dehydrated. And shrinking.

That is how many of our patients regain their life.

Do Any Of These Case Studies Sound Familiar To You? Case #125. Darlene D. After her surgery she was left in some serious pain. This pain lasted 32 years. She came in to us and in three weeks she was out of pain. In five weeks she was on her roof working with her husband.

Do you see what we can do for you?

We are offering a solution to your pain. To get your life back, FAST! Case #89. Bruce F. After a traumatic car accident, Bruce was left in pain.

He went here and there but didn’t find relief. So he came to see us.

The treatments were painless. He got out of pain. He now runs, walks the beach, and plays with his kid.

All without pain.

Does your current therapy offer you this kind of relief? What are you waiting for?

Case #320. John M.’s MRI said, “Annular Tear,” Ouch! His episodes of pain put him on his back for two weeks every couple months. He began treatment and his pain decreased almost immediately. Over the course of treatment his back felt stronger and more flexible. No episodes to this day.

Do you want to improve the quality of your life? Are your current therapies doing that for you?

Case #25. Kevin. Headaches every day of his life since an accident.

Headaches gone after first treatment.

Peace could be defined as finding a solution to a problem that has you feeling completely crazy. Imagine how Kevin must have felt, and how he feels now!

You don’t need a referral to see me.

In fact, I want all to come and see me. You are invited to be evaluated by me. I will cover the cost. There is a catch -- you have to qualify. You see, I will not take anyone. I will only treat those I can help.

Don’t Delay Your Pain Relief Come And See If You’re A Good Candidate To Eliminate Your Pain This examination typically costs $245. Right now you can get it for free. That is -- if you qualify. Call now to see if you qualify for this exclusive evaluation.

It is a great opportunity to be evaluated by a spinal expert.

It’s A Free Consultation This is what you will discover during your free consultation... ? Why you’re in so much pain? ... You’ll actually get a diagnosis that makes sense. ? How long it will take to get you better? ... It’s less time than you think.

Next week Bend man learns new way to live as he recovers from viral encephalitis.

We’re living longer but we’re sick longer, too

Infections Continued from F1

Challenging task Infection control is one of the biggest challenges in health care today. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, patients in the U.S. acquire 1.7 million hospital-associated infections each year, contributing to 99,000 deaths. And the average cost per hospital stay is $32,000 higher when a patient contracts an infection in the hospital.

In June, Mountain View was selected by the Oregon Patient Safety Commission to be one of 10 hospitals in the newly formed Oregon Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Collaborative, which aims to eliminate all such preventable infections. The 25bed hospital in Madras is among three such small hospitals participating in the project — which also includes three hospitals with more than 375 beds — and will first focus on eliminating surgical-site infections. Each week, the hospitals talk on a conference call about how to improve their infection-control practices, sharing successes and failures, tips and pitfalls.

Controlling surgical infections goes far beyond what happens during the actual surgery itself.

Surgical-site infections are those that occur after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. Any infection that occurs within 30 days after the surgery counts as a hospital-acquired infection. If the surgery involved an implant such as a mesh in a hernia surgery or a joint replacement, the time frame extends to a full year past surgery.

From July 2009 to June 2010, Mountain View had only three surgical-site infections, two in April and one in June, for an overall infection rate of 0.4 percent of surgeries. It’s a rate many larger hospitals would envy, but Luther said it’s worth striving for zero.

“Somebody said, ‘Maybe we just want to get 95 percent?’ Well, do you want to be that 5 percent that got the infection? I don’t think so,” she said. “I always think, ‘What if that was my mother or my child?’”

As close as the hospital is now, getting to zero will still be a challenge. So many things can cause infections and not all of them are under the hospital’s control. Two of the three infections in the past year were caused by conditions that occurred before the patients came to the hospital. One patient came in with a ruptured appendix and another with a colon issue. Both problems expose the body to bacteria.

“But we still have to count them,” Luther said.

The third infection occurred 29 days after surgery, well after the patient had gone home.

“So it’s questionable. Was it something she did when she got home? Was it something that she really did get here?” Luther said.

“We hate to call that (a hospitalacquired) infection after they’ve left the hospital. But maybe we didn’t do our teaching.”

Closing the gaps Reducing surgical-site infections starts well before the patient enters the operating room and continues well after the surgical staff members take off their masks and gowns. Mountain View has changed its pre-operative patient education to limit the germs patients may bring in with them. Patients now get a bottle of chlorhexidine gluconate antiseptic to clean the surgical site before they come to the hospital and are told to take a shower the night before the surgery, to use clean towels and clean bed linen. Patients are told not to shave their surgical site with a razor to avoid microabrasions that can allow germs to enter the body.

The hospital also revised its discharge instructions, telling patients to wash their hands before touching the incision area and to have clean clothes protecting the area.

Inside the operating room, the surgical team will take steps proven to reduce the risk of infection, such as keeping patients warm throughout the surgery or giving antibiotics shortly before the first incision.

Many of the infection-control measures have been built into safe-surgery checklists used by surgical staff to ensure none of the vital steps are missed. Mountain

Life expectancy soared over the last part of the 20th century as treatments for major diseases improved and infectious diseases were quelled by vaccines and better treatment.

The most recent data, however, hint that life expectancy is no longer growing. And, according to a new study, we may spend more years sick than we did even a decade ago.

In a fascinating paper published in the Journal of Gerontology, noted gerontologist Eileen Crimmins and her colleague Hiram Beltran-Sanchez, both of the University of Southern California, suggest that the goal of a long life marked by mostly healthy years may not be possible.

According to the analysis, the average age of morbidity — which is defined as the period of life spent with serious illness and lack of functional mobility — has increased in the last two decades. For example, a 20year-old man in 1998 could be expected to live an additional 45 years without at least one of these diseases: heart disease, cancer or diabetes. But that number fell to 43.8 in 2006. For women, the expected years of life without a major, serious disease fell from 49.2 years to 48 years over the last decade.

“There is substantial evidence that we have done little to date to eliminate or delay disease or the physiological changes that are linked to age,” the authors wrote.

T H E CLAIM:

Flu mostly kills the elderly.

THE REALITY: This one is true in most years, said Dr. Richard Fawcett, an infectious disease specialist and health officer at the Deschutes County Health Department.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 24,000 people die annually from flu and about 90 percent of those are people ages 65 or older. The elderly are “certainly a population that gets hit fairly hard relative to other age groups,” said Fawcett.

The exception, Fawcett said, occurred last year with the H1N1 flu. Older people, curiously, appeared to be better protected.

They were both less likely to catch the flu and less likely to become severely ill because of it. That, experts thought, could be because the strain was somewhat like a virus that circulated in the 1930s.

Those alive during that time may have had residual immunity to the H1N1 virus that felled younger people.

Next week Rotating Supermans: The next in our exercise series.

This holiday season, keep your eyes on your heart

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Yoga instructor Uma Kleppinger leads a group of cyclists and others earlier this month at Sunnyside Sports in Bend in a yoga routine geared specifically toward those who spend a lot of time riding their bikes. Kleppinger said that a short, regular yoga practice can boost a cyclist’s performance.

BikeYoga Continued from F1 One man who had come to Kleppinger’s class was hoping to do yoga in lieu of visiting the chiropractor.

To counter the effects of biking, Kleppinger created a program that combines several different types of yoga. She created it, she said, to help the people she biked with.

“It doesn’t take a huge amount to feel more comfortable and at ease in your body. And if you’re more comfortable, you’ll ride more. And if you ride more, you’ll be better.”

The program includes some of what you’d imagine — stretches for the legs, hips and back — but also aspects that are less obvious.

“If you’re already cycling, you don’t need another workout,” she said. To that end, her routine does not include some of the cardiovascular exertion that is often included in a yoga practice.

She also said she understands cyclists typically spend many hours a week training and don’t have the time or desire to devote to exercise. Often, Kleppinger said, cyclists go to yoga once a week or less. That infrequent stretching, she said, does little to increase overall flexibility and comfort on the bike.

To that end, Kleppinger’s program is much shorter than a traditional yoga class.

“My mission is to get people to do a few minutes a day,” she said. Cyclists only need 15 to 20 minutes of yoga, she said, as

“It doesn’t take a huge amount to feel more comfortable and at ease in your body,” said yoga instructor Uma Kleppinger at Sunnyside Sports. “And if you’re more comfortable, you’ll ride more. And if you ride more, you’ll be better.” long as they’re doing the right thing.

Kleppinger recently led a series of classes in Bend corresponding to the USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships.

At the class at Sunnyside Sports, she began with breathing exercises. Breathing, she said, separates yoga from just stretching and helps people become more aware of their bodies.

“Just noticing the places where we’re weak, tight or unbalanced, sometimes that’s enough.”

She then moved on to stretch-

ing exercises. Regular yogis would recognize some of the poses, such as the familiar cat/ cow sequence, done on all fours, alternating arching and rounding the back.

Kleppinger showed the class poses that stretched out the hamstring, chronically tight in cyclists. She concentrated on poses that did more than one thing.

A leg stretch, for example, also put weight on the wrists and arms. This kind of weightbearing exercise, she said, was to help counter some of the bone loss that can come with cycling.

Studies have found that cyclists are sometimes at higher risk for osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis, than the general population.

Her philosophy is laid out in a book she wrote, “BikeYoga: A Simple Practice to Tune Up Your Mind, Body and Spirit” or on her website, www.bikeyoga.com.

Kleppinger also plans to move to Bend from Portland soon, so Central Oregonians will be able to get her training in person.

She’s not sure where she will be working yet.

She hopes to show people, she said, that it is easy to help yourself feel better and that people can do it by themselves in just a few minutes a day.

“My main goal is to demystify yoga and to have people not think of it as something only yoga people do,” she said.

“I’m kind of driving myself into obsolescence.”

Dangerous heart conditions strike more frequently during the holiday season, including a high number of fatal heart attacks on Christmas and New Year’s Day. “There is nothing worse than going out to tell a family their loved one is dead on a holiday,” said Dr. Gary Kavit, chairman of emergency and trauma services at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, Va. Here are ways to protect your heart: Watch portion sizes. Large, fatty meals will draw blood to the intestines for digestion — and away from the heart.

That’s potentially deadly for people who already have blockages or other damage to their coronary arteries.

Limit alcohol intake. Too much alcohol can irritate the upper chambers of the heart and trigger abnormal rhythms.

Don’t ignore symptoms.

Chest pain that extends to the shoulder, arm, back or jaw is the classic sign of a heart attack, but others include abdominal pain, shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, vomiting and fatigue. Don’t write it all off to indigestion or worry about disrupting holiday gatherings — get help.

Reduce stress. Don’t pack your schedule too full, walk away from unpleasant social situations and build relaxing activities into each day.

Exercise — but carefully.

Regular exercise is a great stress-buster, but don’t overdo it — especially out in cold weather.

IN MOTION Light exercise every day can help prevent respiratory infections Some fitness enthusiasts can take an almost obsessive approach to exercising every day, while others look for any excuse to skip their workout. It’s no wonder that the question of whether a cold is an excuse to skip exercise comes up often. Although recent research has shown that exercise can help prevent the common cold, experts warn that doesn’t mean exercise is a cure-all.

According to Dr. David Nieman, a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, moderate exercise of 30 minutes a day most days of the week actually lowers the risk for respiratory infections.

Prolonged intense exercise, on the other hand, can weaken the immune system and allow viruses to spread.

“The good news for the majority of fitness enthusiasts who put

in 30 to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week, is that the number of sick days they’ll take during the common cold season is reduced by at least 40 percent,” he said.

Nieman said people can safely exercise while sick if cold symptoms are confined to their head, such as a runny nose or a sore throat. He recommends taking a break from exercise if the illness is more systemic, with respiratory infection, fever, swollen glands or extreme body aches. Once symptoms pass, people may need to ease back into their workout routines.

Nieman also encourages people to work out moderately before getting a flu shot. That helps to improve the body’s response to the vaccine.
