Surgeons profit from questionable procedure

U.S. HIGHWAY 97

Madras man dies in crash

By Peter Waldman and David Armstrong Bloomberg News

Suffering from an aching back, truck driver Mikel Hehn went to see surgeon Jeffrey Gerdes in 2008. The St. Cloud, Minn., doctor diagnosed spinal disc degeneration, commonly treated with physical therapy, and said surgery wasn’t called for.

Unhappy with the answer, Hehn turned to Ensor Transfeldt, a surgeon at Twin Cities Spine Center in Minneapolis. Transfeldt performed fusion surgery on Hehn, screwing together three vertebrae in his lower spine.

Fusion aims to limit painful spine movements. This one didn’t work out. Two years later, the pain in Hehn’s neck, lower back, buttocks and thighs is so bad that he can’t hold a job and seldom leaves home, he said in an interview.

“There’s days when I just can’t take it and the tears run,” said Hehn, 52, who lives in Sartell, Minn. He said he takes oxycodone for pain, Soma to sleep, Lexapro for depression and Imitrex for headaches.

Hehn’s surgery generated a $135,786 bill from Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, feeding a national boom in costly fusion surgeries. It also illustrates how spine surgeons have prospered from performing fusions, which studies have found to be no better for common back pain than physical therapy is — and a lot more dangerous.

The number of fusions at U.S. hospitals doubled to 413,000 between 2002 and 2008, generating $34 billion in bills, data from the federal Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project show. The number of the surgeries will rise to 453,300 this year, according to Millennium Research Group of Toronto.

The possibility that many of these and other surgeries are needless has gotten little attention in the debate over health care costs, which rose 6 percent last year to $2.47 trillion.

Officers investigate the scene of a fatal accident Thursday afternoon near Bowery Lane on U.S. Highway 97.

3 others treated at St. Charles Bend; traffic halted for 3 hours

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

A 19-year-old Madras man was killed in a head-on collision north of Bend on Thursday afternoon.

Derek Lybbert-Arizmendez was driving a 2000 Mercury Cougar two-door sedan south toward Bend on U.S. Highway 97, according to information from the Oregon State Police.

Lybbert-Arizmendez drove into the center lane, which was covered with snow, and traveled an unknown distance in the lane before he crossed into oncoming traffic. He struck a 1996 white GMC Suburban driven by John Siemens, 53, of Bend, head-on at about 12:23 p.m.

Lybbert-Arizmendez was killed at the scene. His passengers, Angelica Mendoza, 19, and Javion Pineda, 2 months,

also of Madras, were taken to St. Charles Bend with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Mendoza was listed in serious condition Thursday night.

Pineda was immediately released from the hospital.

Siemens suffered minor injures and also was taken to St. Charles Bend, where he was treated and released. Everyone involved in the crash was wearing seat belts.

Traffic stopped Law enforcement officials closed a portion of Highway 97 to north- and southbound traffic after the crash. Northbound traffic was diverted around the scene, but moved slowly because of congestion. Southbound lanes reopened about three hours after the crash.

Traffic was backed up more

than a mile in both directions.

Shattered glass littered the highway and pieces of the vehicles were strewn across all four lanes.

The Oregon Department of Transportation did not provide an official detour, for fear that no county road could accommodate so much traffic.

Under investigation Lt. Carl Rhodes, with the Oregon State Police, said officials from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Bend Police Department, and Redmond and Bend Fire departments all assisted at the scene.

Rhodes said the crash remains under investigation.

It wasn’t the first accident this week on Highway 97. On Monday, six people were involved in a head-on collision

near La Pine.

Coby Jane Webb, 40, of California, was driving south in a Ford pickup, pulling an empty horse trailer. She lost traction and jackknifed into the northbound lanes, according to information from Oregon State Police. The crash closed the highway for four hours. Webb remains in serious condition at St. Charles Bend.

A northbound Chevrolet driven by Moises Jimenez Garcia, 52, of Washington, struck the Ford head-on on the driver’s side. Garcia remained in fair condition at St. Charles Bend on Thursday night, and his passenger, Maria Garcia, 52, remained in serious condition.

SHAKING OFF THE COLD

Correction

SALEM — The Oregon Court of Appeals on Thursday heard arguments about whether to uphold contempt of court sanctions against Tami Sawyer that nearly landed her in jail in November 2009.

The hearing is the latest step in a lawsuit filed

by David and Laurie Redwine, who invested more than $800,000 Kevin Sawyer with Starboard LLC, a company owned by Tami Sawyer and her husband, Kevin Sawyer.

The Redwines filed the lawsuit in May Tami Sawyer 2008, and in March 2009 they received a judgment against the company for more than $900,000. In an effort to collect on the judgment, the Redwines and their attorneys conducted two debtor exams to try to determine where their money went and what assets the company has that could begin to repay the debt.

But the Sawyers, citing a pending federal investigation into their actions, refused to answer questions or produce documents, and in October 2009 Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Forte held the couple in contempt of court. As part of the contempt of court sanctions, they were ordered to relinquish their passports, and Tami Sawyer was ordered to report to the Deschutes County jail in November unless she produced requested documents.

swan shakes water from its head after grabbing a piece of aquatic grass from the bottom of the Deschutes River near the Old Mill District on Wednesday.

JERUSALEM — Exploratory drilling off Israel’s northern coast this week has confirmed the existence of a major natural gas field — one of the world’s largest offshore gas finds of the past decade — leading the country’s infrastructure minister to call it “the most important energy news since the founding of the state.”

Houston-based Noble Energy, which is working with several Israeli partner companies, said the field has at least 16 trillion cubic feet of gas at a likely market value of tens of billions of dollars.

The gas field, named Leviathan, whose existence was suspected months ago, should turn Israel into an energy exporter.

“If it acts correctly, levelheadedly and responsibly, Israel can enjoy not only the benefit of using the gas, but it can also turn into a gas supplier in the Mediterranean region,” the infrastructure minister, Uzi Landau, said in a statement. “The large reserves of natural gas will enable Israel’s citizens to enjoy the benefit of clean and inexpensive electricity, as well as the expected profits for the state.”

The find means that Israel, with a long history of dependence on foreign energy could find itself in a more advantageous position in the coming decade.

Private company proves it can succeed in an arena long dominated by a government agency — space — and at a fraction of the cost

SpaceX versus NASA Steps toward reform

By Robert Block The Orlando Sentinel

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Early this month, a private company called SpaceX launched an unmanned version of its Dragon capsule into orbit, took it for a few spins around Earth, and then brought it home with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The total cost — including design, manufacture, testing and launch of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket and the capsule — was roughly $800 million.

In the world of government spaceflight, that’s almost a rounding error. And the ability of SpaceX to do so much with so little money is raising some serious questions about NASA. The agency that once stood for American technical wizardry is seriously starting to lose its luster. Already Brevard County high school students are talking in bowling alleys over orders of cheese fries about wanting to go work for SpaceX, not the agency that 40 years ago put Americans on the moon.

Inside NASA, some employees have taken to wearing Tshirts emblazoned with the letters “WWED,” which stands for “What Would Elon Do?” — a reference to SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, the Internet tycoon who invested his fortune in pursuit of his dream of sending humans into space at affordable prices.

Cost is key It’s that lack of affordability that is killing NASA, experts say.

Aerospace-industry executives, NASA contractors and employees all warn that unless the storied agency can become leaner and more efficient in an era of shrinking federal budgets, it could find itself becoming a historical footnote.

“NASA and industry need to partner together to change our approach,” says Jim Maser, the president of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, which has designed virtually every rocket engine used by NASA since the dawn of the space program.

Over the past six years, NASA has spent nearly $10 billion on the Ares I rocket and Orion capsule — its own version, more or less, of what SpaceX has launched — and came up with little more than cost overruns and technical woes. In Oc-

When it comes to being human, the eyes have it, researchers find

By Meredith Cohn The Baltimore Sun

What makes a face look human? One researcher says it’s all in the eyes.

“There’s something fundamentally important about seeing a face and knowing that the lights are on and someone is home,” said Thalia Wheatley of Dartmouth College.

She said humans can see faces in the moon, a piece of toast, two dots and a line for a nose. But no one believes they are truly alive.

Wheatley co-authored a study with graduate student Christine Looser that was published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

For the study, the pair photographed doll faces. They paired them with similar-looking human faces and used morphing software to blend them in a series of photos.

Volunteers were asked which ones were human and which ones were dolls. The tipping point, when they decided they were alive, was about two-thirds of the way along the continuum, closer to the human side. Another experiment found that the eyes were the most important feature for determining life.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket blasts off Dec. 8 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., carrying a Dragon capsule, which was later recovered after orbiting the Earth and splashing down in the Pacific. The entire mission cost $800 million. SpaceX’s ability to do a lot with a relatively small amount of money is raising some serious questions for NASA.

tober, Congress scrapped the Constellation moon program and ordered the agency to start over to design a rocket and capsule capable of taking humans to explore the solar system.

Maser warns that, without reforms, NASA will simply repeat the Constellation experience.

“Given that we are not going to get the budget increase that was hoped for under Constellation, given that (the budget) is going to be relatively flat with a still-aggressive agenda, if NASA and industry continue

to do business in the traditional manner, I don’t think NASA’s charter will be fulfilled,” he said.

But until recently, Maser said, NASA has rejected his proposals of new efficiencies that would lower Pratt Whitney’s costs to the agency. Part of the reason, Maser and others said, is that many agency officials know no other way, and part is that officials worry that change could introduce more risk into the already dangerous business of spaceflight.

But there are signs that NASA realizes that it must do things differently.

Perhaps the greatest test case is the Orion spacecraft. Unlike Dragon, which cost SpaceX a few hundred million dollars to design, build and fly, Orion has so far cost $4.8 billion and is not likely to fly for at least another three years — and an additional $1.2 billion.

Orion’s prime contractor, Lockheed Martin Corp., has long complained that unnecessary levels of NASA oversight drive up costs and has pleaded with the agency to cut down on required paperwork. Now, according to Mark Geyer, NASA’s Orion program manager, the agency is relenting, scaling back layers of supervision and looking at other ways to cut costs.

And, rather than looking to build a fully loaded capsule, NASA will build it in stages to match the budget. Under the latest plan, NASA and Lockheed would produce an unmanned test vehicle by 2013, and then a simple capsule that could orbit astronauts in 2017. By 2018, Orion would be ready to go to the International Space Station.

Geyer said scaling back on layers of supervision has allowed NASA to cut Orion’s overhead budget by 70 percent and allowed Lockheed to cut some of its costs by as much as 47 percent. The money saved, Geyer said, has been invested back into making electronics for Orion.

The question is whether that’s enough to enable NASA to compete with Dragon and other commercial companies out on the horizon.

But before Dragon can be rated to fly humans, it must be equipped with a fully tested launch escape system to blast capsule and crew away from the rocket in a launch emergency.

Orion has such a system, but Geyer admits there is still much work to be done, including adding environmental controls for crew and other key systems.

And SpaceX is already champing at the bit to push Orion aside.

“Dragon has arguably more capability than Orion,” Musk said after his successful flight earlier this month. “Basically, anything Orion can do, Dragon can do” at a fraction of the cost.

Computer to face off against ‘Jeopardy!’ champions

By Katie Hoffmann Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — IBM Corp. will pit one of its computers against past champions of the “Jeopardy!” quiz show, more than a decade after another IBM machine defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.

“Watson,” as the computer is called, after IBM founder Thomas Watson, will square off against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter in a contest scheduled to air Feb. 14, said IBM researcher Dave Ferrucci. Jennings has the longest winning streak in the show’s history, and Rutter won more money than any other player.

“It’s going to be a close game,” said Ferrucci, an artificial intelligence expert who has headed the Watson project. “These guys are really good.”

The competition will last three days, and the winner will receive $1 million. The shows will be broadcast from IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and air during the regular “Jeopardy!” time slot.

The project builds on IBM’s work in the field of artificial intelligence, including the Deep Blue supercomputer that defeated world champion Kasparov in a 1997 match. About four years ago, executives at IBM decided to try another challenge that would generate public interest — and this time with potential commercial appeal, said Ferrucci.

The main task: make computers understand questions in natural language, as opposed to the keyword searches common on Google’s website or Microsoft’s Bing. “The Holy Grail here is to create a technology that can understand what you’re asking, the way you’re asking it,” he said.

For the “Jeopardy!” competition, Watson will receive each question through a typed entry at the same time host Alex Trebek reads the queries to Jennings and Rutter. The computer will scan a custom-made database for answers and then calculate its degree of confidence in an answer.

If the confidence level exceeds a certain threshold, it will buzz and speak the answer out loud.

Client list puts powerful lobbyist on defensive Former president

By Ginger Thompson and Eric Lipton

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — After decades of work for some of this country’s most powerful lobbying firms, Lanny Davis, the lawyer who once helped defend President Bill Clinton from impeachment, is suddenly scrambling to defend himself.

Since leaving the White House, Davis has built a client list that now includes coup supporters in Honduras, a dictator in Equatorial Guinea, for-profit colleges ac-

cused of exploiting students and a company that dominates the manufacture of additives for infant formula. Earlier this month, he agreed to represent the Ivory Coast strongman whose claims to that country’s presidency have been condemned by the international community, and may even set off a civil war.

Davis withdrew from his $100,000-a-month contract with the Ivory Coast on Wednesday night, saying that the embattled government refused to accept his suggestion to talk to President

Barack Obama. Still, his role in West Africa has stoked criticism that Davis has become a kind of front man for the dark side, willing to take on some of the least noble companies and causes.

Many lobbying firms have clients with checkered records.

Indeed, those are the people who need help the most. But many activists — and even some government officials — said the list of clients in Davis’ firm stands out.

“You look at who he represents, and the list is just almost unseemly, tawdry,” said Meredith

McGehee, a lobbyist for California WIC Association, which represents agencies that serve poor women with infant children, and who faced off against Davis this year in the fight over baby formula, which his client won.

Davis says he is aware of the criticism, particularly since his representation of the Ivory Coast became an issue. And he is pushing back. He says he’s lining up State Department officials, members of Congress and business leaders to testify about how much he’s helped them.

BOMB DAMAGES ATHENS COURTHOUSE BUT CAUSES NO INJURIES Police forensic experts gather evidence at the scene of a motor scooter bomb that damaged two court administration buildings in Athens on Thursday.

Warning calls allowed enough time for the area to be cleared, police said. There were no injuries, though the buildings and nearby cars were damaged. Police bomb disposal experts were examining the remnants of the device and the scooter.

Counterterrorism officials here remain focused on anarchists, like the Greek group that claimed responsibility for recent parcel bombs sent to foreign embassies in Athens and elsewhere. Another bomb was detonated outside a Athens nightclub early today. No one was injured in the blast officials also have linked to anarchists.

Roadside bomb kills 14 on minibus

By Michael Kamber and Taimoor Shah New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan — A minibus packed with civilians, including women and children, was blown apart by a roadside bomb in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, and officials said 14 passengers were killed and at least four wounded.

Afghan and NATO military officials blamed Taliban insurgents for what a NATO spokesman called a “despicable attack” meant to kill innocents.

It was at least the second time this month that a roadside bomb killed more than a dozen civilians in Helmand, where U.S.led NATO forces have intensified their campaign against the Taliban over the past six months and insurgents have increasingly turned to roadside bombs known as improvised explosive devices.

“The minibus was traveling from Sangin to Kandahar City,” said Dawoud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the Helmand provincial governor’s office. “A heavy mine ripped through the bus, resulting in mass civilian casualties, including women and children.”

Afghan officials said they believed that NATO or Afghan government troops who routinely traveled the road were the intended targets.

“We think probably the Taliban are laying land mines or resorting to roadside bombs to hit Afghan and foreign forces,” said Niamatullah Ghafari, a member of Parliament from Helmand province. “But often it rips through civilian vehicles driving the same roads.”

Rear Adm. Vic Beck, a NATO spokesman, said in a statement: “This despicable attack blatantly targeted Afghan civilians. We offer our sincere condolences to the families of the murdered civilians, and we wish for a hasty recovery for all those injured by this attack.”

A Taliban spokesman in Helmand denied responsibility in a telephone interview, instead blaming NATO and Afghan forces.

convicted on 2 counts of rape

By Isabel Kershner New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM — An Israeli court convicted former President Moshe Katsav of two counts of forcible rape Thursday, a verdict that many Israelis described as a low point in the nation’s history but also redemptive, in that it upheld the value of equality before the law.

“There are no two states of Israel, just one state,” said Shimon Peres, Katsav’s successor as president. “There are no two kinds of citizens here; citizens of only one kind exist in Israel — and all are equal in the eyes of the law.”

The verdict capped a fouryear spectacle that began with accusations of sexual offenses against Katsav while he was still the head of state.

“Never before has a president in the democratic world been found guilty of such deeds,” wrote Zeev Segal, the legal commentator for the newspaper Haaretz and a professor of law at Tel Aviv University.

A panel of three district court judges in Tel Aviv convicted Katsav, 65, of raping an employee on two occasions while he was minister of tourism in 1998. The court also convicted him of sexually abusing and harassing another complainant and of harassing a third while he was president — an exalted,

if mostly ceremonial, position that Katsav held from 2000 until 2007.

Katsav has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyers said it was possible that he would appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. One of his lawyers, Avigdor Feldman, said the district court Moshe Katsav had set aside the doubts of the prosecution “with unfortunate lightness,” given that the prosecution had considered the chances of a rape conviction “very borderline.”

Still, Thursday’s verdict was unequivocal, finding Katsav guilty of what Ronit Amiel, a state prosecutor in the case, described as “the most serious and heinous sexual crimes.”

Katsav, looking ashen, made no comment as he left the court accompanied by his lawyers.

His son, Boaz, said that the family was steadfast in its support of Katsav and that they remained convinced he was innocent.

Sentencing is expected in January, and legal commentators said rape verdicts usually carried a minimum sentence of four years and a maximum of 16.

Families bear brunt of deployment strains Pregnant

By James Dao and Catrin Einhorn New York Times News Service

WAUTOMA, Wis. — Life changed for Shawn Eisch with a phone call in January. His youngest brother, Brian, a soldier and single father, had just received orders to deploy from Fort Drum, N.Y., to Afghanistan and was mulling who might take his two boys for a year. Shawn volunteered.

So began a season of adjustments as the boys came to live in their uncle’s home here.

Joey, the 8-year-old, got into fights at his new school. His 12-year-old brother, Isaac, rebelled against their uncle’s rules. And Shawn’s three children quietly resented sharing a bedroom, the family computer and, most of all, their parents’ attention with their younger cousins.

The once comfortable Eisch farmhouse suddenly felt crowded.

“It was a lot more traumatic than I ever pictured it, for them,” Shawn, 44, said. “And it was for me, too.”

The work of war is very much a family affair. Nearly 6 in 10 of the troops deployed today are married, and nearly half have children. Those families — more than 1 million since 2001 — have borne the brunt of the psychological and emotional strain of deployments.

Siblings and grandparents have become surrogate parents. Spouses have struggled with loneliness and stress.

Children have felt confused and abandoned during the long separations. All have felt anxieties about the dangers of war.

Christina Narewski, 26, thought her husband’s second deployment might be easier for her than his first. But she awoke one night this summer feeling so anxious about his absence that she thought she was having a heart attack and called an ambulance.

And she still jumps when the doorbell rings, worried it will be officers bearing unwanted news.

“You’re afraid to answer your door,” she said.

Social scientists are just beginning to document the rippling effects of multiple combat deployments on families — effects that those families themselves have intimately understood for years.

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in January found that wives of deployed soldiers sought mental health services more often than other Army wives.

They were also more likely to report mental health problems, including depression, anxiety and sleep disorder the longer the deployments lasted.

And a paper published in the journal Pediatrics in late 2009 found that children in military

Fusions Continued from A1 Unnecessary surgeries cost at least $150 billion a year, according to John Birkmeyer, director of the Center for Healthcare Outcomes & Policy at the University of Michigan.

“It’s amazing how much evidence there is that fusions don’t work, yet surgeons do them anyway,” said Sohail Mirza, a spine surgeon who chairs the Department of Orthopaedics at Dartmouth Medical School. “The only one who isn’t benefitting from the equation is the patient.”

The Twin Cities Spine bill for Hehn’s surgery was $19,292, his medical records show. The firm received $8,978 after an insurance discount, $7,742 of it for Transfeldt’s services. Hehn’s insurer paid after his bid for workers’ compensation coverage was denied on grounds he wasn’t injured on the job.

Another beneficiary was Medtronic Inc., which makes products for spinal surgery, including Infuse, a bone-growing material widely used in fusions.

Infuse accounted for $17,575 of Abbott Northwestern’s charges, Hehn’s medical bills and insurance records show.

Infuse, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2002, had sales of $840 million last year.

Medtronic paid six of the 10 Twin Cities Spine surgeons — including Transfeldt — $1.75 million in royalties and consulting fees in the first nine months of this year. It also makes other financial contributions to the firm.

“Product usage is not a part of any development or consulting relationship” between Medtronic and doctors, said Brian Henry, a

Eisch, who was on mid-deployment leave, left his sons to be cared for by his brother, Shawn, while on deployment from Fort Drum, N.Y., to Afghanistan. families were more likely to report anxiety than children in civilian families. The longer a parent had been deployed in the previous three years, the researchers found, the more likely the children were to have had difficulties in school and at home.

But those studies do not describe the myriad ways, often imperceptible to outsiders, in which families cope with deployments every day.

Joining the Army life Soon after Christina and Francisco Narewski married in 2004, he applied for a job with the local sheriff’s office in Salinas, Calif.

But he got tired of waiting and, after talking things over with Christina, enlisted in the Army instead.

“We both signed up for it,” Narewski said. “We knew deployments were going to come.”

That day arrived in the fall of 2007, when their third child was just 5 months old. Narewski missed Francisco dearly and sometimes cried just hearing his voice when he called from Iraq.

But when he returned home in October 2008, it took them weeks to feel comfortable together again, she recalled.

“It’s almost like you’ve forgotten how to be with each other,” she said. “He’s been living in his spot for 15 months. Me and the kids have our own routine. It’s hard to get back to, ‘Oh, you’re home.’”

In April, he left again, this time to Afghanistan. Narewski, who lives in Watertown, N.Y., thought she was prepared. Her mother

Eleven Twin Cities Spine fusion patients, most of whom tried to get or hold onto coverage benefits through the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals, said in interviews that the surgery did nothing to relieve their back pain, and in several cases left them worse off than before.

Majority are happy The patients illustrate the costs and risks of fusion surgery.

They are not a scientifically representative sample of Twin Cities Spine patients, the majority of whom the firm says are happy with the treatment they receive.

One of the 11 died of a methadone overdose when his pain worsened after surgery and he couldn’t afford prescription painkillers, his mother said. Another patient said he is hooked on morphine to ease the burning sensation in his back where screws and rods were implanted in an operation that cost his insurer $60,000.

Twin Cities Spine performs fusions on patients with conditions the surgery doesn’t treat effectively, said Brian Nelson, an orthopedic surgeon and medical director of a Minneapolis clinic that stresses exercise for back pain. Nelson said he used to perform fusions and has been in the operating room with at least three of the 10 Twin Cities Spine surgeons.

“I have a lot of respect” for the practice and its surgical skills, Nelson said. “But we have a fundamental disagreement. I think there are too many people being fused.”

Payments by medical-device makers pose an “irresistible” temptation to tailor treatment to more-lucrative procedures, said

“I’ve never missed him as much as I do right now,” she said recently. “It doesn’t feel like we’re moving. It’s like you’re in a dream and you’re trying to get something and you can’t get it.”

Not all the spouses back home are women. Tim Sullivan’s days have revolved almost entirely around his two children, Austin, 4, and Leah, 2, since his wife, Sgt. Tamara Sullivan, deployed to Afghanistan in March.

He rises each weekday at 5:30 a.m. to dress and feed them before shuttling them to day care.

Evenings are the reverse, usually ending with him dozing off in front of the television at their rented ranch-style house in Fayetteville, N.C. He has moved twice and changed jobs three times in recent years to accommodate his wife’s military career. But he does not mind being home with the children, he says, because his father was not, having left the family when Sullivan was young.

“I’m not going to put my kids through that,” said Sullivan, 35, who handles child support cases for the county. “I’m going to be there.”

When Eisch got divorced in 2004, he took Isaac to an Army post in Germany while Joey stayed with his mother in Wisconsin. Soon after returning to the United States in 2007, the sergeant became worried that his ex-wife was neglecting Joey. He

Eugene Carragee, chief of spine surgery at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. “There is precious little in human nature to suggest this proposition is unlikely.”

Twin Cities Spine believes in a “conservative course of treatment in the vast majority of cases,” according to an e- mailed statement from Lisa Arrington, the practice’s marketing director.

There are some people for whom surgery is appropriate, she wrote, and numerous patients “have experienced successful outcomes from spinal fusion procedures,” regaining functionality. The operations “reduced pain and improved their quality of life,” she said.

The firm declined to comment on individual patients, and did not make the doctors who treated them available for comment.

Twin Cities Spine surgeons routinely warn of potential surgical risks, including nerve damage, blood clots and the need for more surgery, according to letters provided by several patients.

Financial relationships Financial relationships with medical companies are disclosed to patients and do not influence whether surgery is performed, according to the statement from Arrington. Royalties are not received by Twin Cities Spine doctors on devices they use in surgery, the e-mail said.

Fusion has helped spine surgeons become the best paid doctors in the United States.

Their average annual salary is $806,000, more than three times the earnings of a pediatrician, according to the American Medical Group Association.

One of the most common causes of back pain is degenerative disc disease, or the break-

petitioned family court for full custody of both boys and won.

In 2009, he transferred to Fort Drum and took the boys with him. Within months, he received orders for Afghanistan.

Hard to leave After nearly 17 years in the Army with no combat deployments, Eisch, 36, was determined to go to war. The boys, he felt, were old enough to handle his leaving. Little did he know how hard it would be.

When Shawn put the boys in his truck at Fort Drum to take them to Wautoma, a two-stoplight town in central Wisconsin, Isaac clawed at the rear window “like a caged animal,” Eisch said. He still tears up at the recollection.

“I question myself every day if I’m doing the right thing for my kids,” he said. “I’m trying to do my duty to my country and deploy, and do what Uncle Sam asks me to do. But what’s everybody asking my boys to do?”

Within a few weeks of arriving at his uncle’s home, Joey beat up a boy so badly that the school summoned the police. It was not the last time Shawn and his wife, Lisa, would be summoned to the principal’s office.

The boys were in pain, Shawn realized.

“There was a lot more emotion,” he said, “than Lisa and I ever expected.”

Shawn, a state water conservation officer, decided he needed to set strict rules for homework and behavior. Violations led to chores, typically stacking wood.

But there were carrots, too: for

down in the soft, puck-shaped cushions between the vertebrae.

Pain also comes from a condition called stenosis, or the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can be caused by bulging discs or arthritis.

Benefits studied British and Norwegian researchers found fusion no better than physical therapy for disc-related pain in three studies, totaling 473 patients, published in the journals Spine, Pain and the British Medical Journal between 2003 and 2006. A 2001 Swedish study of 294 patients in Spine found fusion better than physical therapy that was less structured than the kinds used in the other studies.

Evidence that fusion is better than a simpler procedure called decompression for stenosis is “lacking,” a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found earlier this year. The study also found that fast-growing complex fusions — those joining more than three vertebrae — carried a 5.6 percent risk of life threatening complications, more than double the 2.3 percent rate for decompression, which usually involves cutting away damaged discs or bone pressing on spinal nerves.

Twin Cities Spine performs 3,000 spine surgeries a year, 1,300 of them fusions, and accounts for 75 percent of the spine operations at Abbott Northwestern, according to Daryll Dykes, a surgeon in the practice. More than 4,000 spine procedures a year are performed at Abbott Northwestern, the most of any U.S. hospital, according to its website.

The practice generates big bills.

Medica Health Plans, one of Minnesota’s largest insurers, says it pays a median of $26,021 for back surgeries performed by Twin Cit-

Joey, promises of going to Builda-Bear if he obeyed his teachers; for Isaac, going hunting with his uncle was the prize. Gradually, the calls from the principal declined, though they have not ended.

In September, Eisch returned for midtour leave and the homecoming was as joyful as his departure had been wrenching. Father and sons spent the first nights in hotels, visited an amusement park, went fishing and traveled.

But the two weeks were over in what seemed like hours. In his final days, Eisch had prepped the boys for his departure, but that did not make it any easier.

As they waited at the airport, father and sons clung to each other.

“I’m going to have to drink like a gallon of water to replenish these tears,” the sergeant said.

“Be safe,” Isaac implored him over and over.

Eisch said he would, and then was gone.

Despite his worries, Isaac tried to reassure himself.

“He’s halfway through, and he’s going to make it,” he said.

“With all that training he’s probably not going to get shot. He knows if there’s a red dot on his chest, run. Not toward the enemy.

Run, and shoot.”

But his father did not run.

Dad comes home Just weeks after returning to Afghanistan, Eisch had been hit by machine gun fire, twice in the left leg, once in the right.He was evacuated by helicopter and taken to a military hospital where, in a morphine daze, he called Shawn.

“Are you sitting down?” Brian asked woozily. “I’ve been shot.”

Shawn hung up and went into a quiet panic. He could not tell how badly Brian had been wounded.

Would he lose his leg? He called the school and asked them to shield the boys from the news until he could get there.

Shawn flew with the boys, his father and Brian’s twin sister, Brenda, to Washington to visit Eisch at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

But Brian, giddy from painkillers, was his cheerful self. His right leg seemed almost normal.

His left leg, swollen and stapled together, looked terrible. But it was a real leg, and it was still attached. The boys felt relieved.

Within days, Brian was wheeling himself around the hospital and cracking jokes with nurses, a Green Bay Packers cap on his head. While Joey lost himself in coloring books and television, Isaac tended to his father.

“I feel a little more grown up,” Isaac said. “I feel a lot more attached to him than I was when he left.”

Twin Cities Spine performed 1,100 lumbar, or lower-back, fusion surgeries in 2009, Dykes said.

Of those, he added, 380 patients had degenerative disc disease and another problem such as stenosis, and 282 had degenerative disc disease alone.

Twin Cities Spine doesn’t have any scientifically validated studies on the success of fusion for those in the latter group, Dykes said. He called them “the controversial patients.”

Spinal fusion on back-pain patients is performed as a last resort after less invasive treatments fail, he said. Measuring outcomes has been difficult because researchers, doctors and payers can’t agree on criteria for success, he said.

“Living Well With Back Pain,” a 2006 consumer guide produced

by Twin Cities Spine and published by HarperCollins, states that, “With proper patient selection and optimal surgical techniques, the success rate for spinal fusion surgery for back pain is now about 90 percent.”

Positive results Ninety-eight percent of Twin Cities Spine’s post-operative patients who responded to a 2009 survey would choose or recommend the group for surgical care, according to Arrington’s emailed statement. She said about a third of patients responded to the survey.

Patients that the practice recommended to Bloomberg News for interviews reported being happy with their surgeries. One of them, Jody Rasmusson, 48,

veterans at higher risk for mental problems

By Jeannine Stein Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Female veterans who become pregnant may be at more risk for mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety, a study finds.

Researchers looked at data on 43,078 women who were veterans who served in Afghanistan or Iraq and were treated at the Veterans Health Administration for five years. Among the study participants, 32 percent of women who were pregnant had a mental health diagnosis, while 21 percent of women who were not pregnant received a mental health diagnosis.

When all female vets taking part in VHA health care were compared with pregnant vets, pregnant vets were more apt to be diagnosed with major or mild depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and alcohol or drug abuse or dependence during the study.

Pregnant vets had twice the rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety as their non-pregnant peers.

The study authors offered some explanations for the discrepancy: female vets with mental health disorders might be more inclined to ask for treatment at the VHA than women without those disorders, and could have had their pregnancy noted while being cared for. Women who use VHA health care but don’t need mental health help may have gotten prenatal care elsewhere and not reported their pregnancies to the VHA. Also, other studies have shown that veterans may be more likely to exhibit risky behavior after coming home from war. And women who have symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental disorders may be more likely to get pregnant. “(O)ur results point to a need for the VHA to continue to understand the overlap between pregnancy and mental health conditions in VHA patients,” wrote the authors. “By doing so, the VHA will be better able to identify groups of women veterans at potential risk for poor clinical outcomes.”

The study was published recently in the Journal of Women’s Health.

of Minneapolis, underwent her second spinal surgery in three years by Dykes in October 2009.

One year after the two-level fusion and decompression, the shooting pain in her back and legs was gone, said Rasmusson, a bank customer-service agent.

A level is the space between two vertebrae; a two-level surgery means three vertebrae were fused.

Before Robert Gumatz, 60, had a five-level spinal fusion by Dykes in November 2009, the grain-company manager had so much back and hip pain he was losing the use of his legs, he said.

He had stopped playing soccer with his kids and taking nightly walks with his wife. A year later, “I can play tackle football if I want to,” said Gumatz, of Oakdale, Minn. “I know I’m an exception. I have no pain.”

Twin Cities Spine’s Timothy Garvey did a three-level spinal fusion on Ross Tamminen in April 2006. Six months later, Tamminen, a heavy-equipment operator, reported severe pain again in his back and legs, according to documents from a case in state workers’ comp court.

As a treatment option, Garvey proposed more surgery to examine the fusion site, remove the implants in Tamminen’s spine, and perform decompression. His employer’s insurer denied a coverage request, saying surgery wasn’t warranted, according to court filings.

The rest of the story comes from Tamminen’s mother, Barbara Grove. Denied federal disability benefits and in intractable pain, Tamminen ran out of money for painkillers, she said, and began taking methadone obtained through friends.

He died of an overdose on June 20, 2008, 26 months after spinal fusion. He was 41.

Sawyers Continued from A1 The appeals court ordered a stay, keeping her out of jail, while it considered whether the contempt sanctions were correctly imposed. Since then, the Sawyers have been indicted and arraigned in federal court on 15 charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud and false statement to a financial institution. Tami

Leviathan Continued from A1 But the find has been accompanied by a heated debate over how much in taxes and royalties Israel will charge. A state-appointed committee headed by an economist at Hebrew University, Eytan Sheshinski, is planning to recommend substantially increased profit taxes, opposed by the companies and some on the political right.

Gideon Tadmor, the chief executive of Delek Energy and Avner Oil Exploration, partners in this venture with Noble, said the taxes could make the project prohibitively expensive. “The gas may stay in the ground because we will not succeed in obtaining from banks around the world the tens of billions of shekels for developing the reservoir,” he said in an interview.

He said that this new find could impel neighboring countries, including Cyprus, Lebanon and Syria, to explore and possibly develop their potential gas fields, and warned that Israel needed to move quickly to be the first to export its gas. Delek estimates that if it moves aggressively, it could begin producing gas from Leviathan in five to six years.

This year, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that more than 120 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas reserves, equivalent to 20 billion barrels of oil, lay beneath the waters of the Eastern Mediterranean. That would put it in the same league as the Alaskan North Slope (about 22 billion barrels) but far short of Saudi Arabia, which has proven reserves of 262 billion barrels.

In reaction to the Israeli announcement, Lebanese politicians said they would move more quickly in exploring their country’s gas potential.

Taxes may be affected Sheshinski, who heads the government committee on taxes, said Israel had among the very lowest rates of energy taxes anywhere and that it was time to update that.

“We have proposed a profit tax to be imposed after the firms earn an adequate return on their investment,” Sheshinski said in an interview. “We have checked with the banks and we will be well within world averages. Anyone who knows the numbers can be assured of a proper return.”

Sheshinski said that his report, due out on Monday, had already been endorsed by the governor of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer; the International Monetary Fund; and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which Israel recently joined. He said that the profit tax rate recommended by his committee would be 55 percent to 60 percent and that the OECD average was 62 percent.

The committee’s recommendations require government and parliamentary approval.

Sever Plocker, an economic columnist for the newspaper Yediot Aharonot, said in a commentary Thursday that it was far from clear that the new discovery could be developed profitably. Gas prices could fall, the techniques needed to extract the gas were likely to be complicated and expensive to develop, and exporting natural gas required enormous investment for pipelines or the means of transforming the gas into liquid to be moved on tankers, he said.

“Creative thinking is our great natural resource, not gas,” he wrote. “It is our obligation to guard it with utmost care.”

Sawyer is also charged with six counts of money laundering and Kevin Sawyer is charged in two of those counts.

On Thursday, three Oregon Court of Appeals judges listened as attorneys on both sides debated the contempt sanctions.

Fifth Amendment Marc Blackman, representing Tami Sawyer, argued that because his client knew she was under federal investigation, she

had every right to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights to prevent incriminating herself by admitting she was connected to Starboard LLC or by producing documents. “(There was) a real perception of self-incrimination,” he said.

Mike McGean, representing the Redwines, argued that because there were public records proving Tami Sawyer’s connection to the company, and because she held a press conference in April 2009 in which

she discussed her intention to pay back Starboard investors, she had no reason to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.

The judges challenged McGean on that point, and several others.

“I may have said a lot of things to a lot of people,” Judge Rex Armstrong said. “That doesn’t mean my principle of (avoiding) self-incrimination doesn’t apply.”

Later, he added, “You can’t take away what was said, but

THE BULLETIN • Friday, December 31, 2010 A5 you can’t be compelled to say it again.”

The judges expressed doubt that Tami Sawyer’s previous conversations, not under oath, were enough to nullify her right to avoid self-incrimination. They also debated whether Sawyer admitting she had knowledge of or access to any Starboard financial records would incriminate her.

“The answer is not necessarily neutral,” said Judge Rick Haselton. “If the answer is yes

(it shows Sawyer) controlled the records or had access to the records.”

According to McGean, the appeals court does not have a deadline to issue its decision on whether to uphold or strike down Tami Sawyer’s contempt of court judgment. However, McGean said he expected the decision soon.

Prison sentence extended for Russian tycoon

By Sergei L. Loiko Los Angeles Times

MOSCOW — A former tycoon who challenged the rule of Russian leader Vladimir Putin was sentenced to remain in prison until at least 2017 after his conviction this week for embezzlement and money laundering in a politically charged case widely condemned in the West.

Judge Viktor Danilkin sentenced Mikhail Khodorkovsky to 14 years in prison to be served concurrently with a previous eight-year term that he was soon to complete. It was not immediately clear when he would gain his freedom: the judge implied that the new term would keep Khodorkovsky behind bars until 2020, while the defense said the term would be calculated to start with his arrest in 2003.

Khodorkovsky’s business partner, Platon Lebedev, also received a 14-year sentence.

Khodorkovsky didn’t say anything in court; he just smiled behind a bulletproof glass cage. But his elderly mother, Marina, shouted to the judge: “You be damned, and your ancestors too.”

Lebedev and Khodorkovsky were convicted of embezzling the equivalent of $27 billion worth of oil from the now-defunct Yukos company. The verdict found that they had “created an illusion of a market mechanism to set oil purchase prices to hide the illegal documentation of the unfair deals and eventually to steal the oil.”

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday issued new norms governing the Vatican’s banking system, including placing it under a central authority to bring it in line with international measures to curb money-laundering and the financing of terrorism.

The move comes amid a legal tussle between Italian authorities and the Vatican’s bank, the Institute for Religious Works, over the possible violation of an anti-money laundering convention.

The Vatican has repeatedly described as a “misunderstanding” the decision by magistrates in Rome to confiscate 23 million euros deposited from the IOR into an account of an Italian bank, and to place the IOR’s two top managers under investigation.

Benedict, in a letter announcing the new norms, said Thursday the Vatican wanted to “adopt as its own” regulations by the international community to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism as well as attempts to make the international banking systems more transparent and accountable.

The measures announced Thursday also signal the Vatican’s formal adoption of a 2009 monetary convention signed with the European Union to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, Benedict said.

Among the measures is the creation of a Vatican Authority for Financial information which will oversee all transactions by Vatican-based bodies and institutions, including its bank, the IOR.

A wallaby stands on a hay bale, trapped by rising floodwaters, outside the town of Dalby in Queensland, Australia, on Thursday. Days of torrential downpours have left parts of central and southern Queensland state inundated, flooding thousands of homes and businesses, cutting off roads and forcing the entire populations of two towns to evacuate.

Flooding hits mines, crops

By Ben Sharples Bloomberg News

MELBOURNE, Australia — Heavy rain and flooding that’s swept across the Australian state of Queensland may cost billions of dollars after crops were destroyed and output from coal mines was disrupted, state Premier Anna Bligh said Thursday.

“It’s without precedent in our recorded history, with so many places in so many diverse parts of the state each affected so critically at once,” Bligh said, according to an e-mailed transcript. “I expect that we’ll still be managing some of this until the end of January. This is a disaster that is going to run into the billions of dollars.”

Australia had its wettest September-to-November period on record, with showers and storms forecast to continue across Queensland until at least Jan. 5, the Bureau of Meteorology said on its website. Flooding has destroyed cotton crops, halted

coal deliveries, shut mines and prompted BHP Billiton, Xstrata and Rio Tinto to declare force majeure, allowing them to miss contracted deliveries.

Three Blackhawk helicopters from the Australian defense force are assisting with recovery efforts, Emergency Management Queensland Assistant DirectorGeneral Bruce Grady said on Sky News Thursday.

People evacuated Two of the aircraft are heading for the town of Emerald to help with the potential evacuation of as many as 2,500 people as floodwaters are expected to peak at a record 53 feet today.

The previous record of 52 feet was set in 1950, Grady said.

More than 300 residents from the town of Theodore were evacuated Wednesday, he said.

BHP and Anglo American on Thursday declared force majeure for mines in Queensland’s

Bowen Basin, according to emailed statements. Wesfarmers has also suspended mining at its Curragh North operation.

Queensland, which produces 95 percent of the nation’s sugar and is the country’s largest coal exporter, accounts for about 20 percent of Australia’s $1.32 trillion economy, with trade contributing most to the state’s growth in the 12 months ended June 30.

Australia is the largest producer of coal used in steelmaking, contributing more than 40 percent of the global seaborne trade, Deutsche Bank said Oct. 19. The country is the secondlargest exporter after Indonesia of the commodity burned for power.

His activism put him in direct conflict with Putin, who served as president from 2000 to 2008 before becoming prime minister. The former tycoon was convicted in 2005 on charges of tax evasion and fraud and had been scheduled to be released next year.

The current case was wideMikhail ly condemned Khodorkovsky in the West as an abuse of the court system for political purposes that called into question Russia’s reliability as a political and trading partner.

U.S. criticism The U.S. State Department was quick to criticize the sentences handed down Thursday.

“We remain concerned by the allegations of serious due-process violations, and what appears to be an abusive use of the legal system for improper ends, particularly now that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev have been sentenced to the maximum penalty,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. “Simply put, the Russian government cannot nurture a modern economy without also developing an independent judiciary that serves as an instrument for furthering economic growth, ensuring equal treatment under the law, and advancing justice in a predictable and fair way.”

Poll: Obama ends year with slightly lower approval LOS ANGELES — Despite a strong showing during the lame-duck session of Congress, President Barack Obama closes out his second year in office with a slightly lower approval rating than at the end of 2009, according to a Gallup tracking poll.

The poll released Thursday found that the president’s approval rating was 47 percent, down slightly from his postmidterm-election peak of 49 percent but close to his average of 46 percent during that period. During the week between Christmas 2009 and New Year’s Day, Obama’s approval rating ranged from 51 percent to 53 percent.

Obama’s standing is better than two recent presidents who went on to win re-election. At comparable points during their presidencies, Bill Clinton had a 40 percent approval rating and Ronald Reagan had a 43 percent rating. Two one-term presidents, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, stood at 51 percent and 63 percent, respectively.

George W. Bush finished his second year at 61 percent.

Obama’s relatively stable rating comes in the weeks since the electoral drubbing that turned control of the House of Representatives over to the GOP, and the post-election session of Congress.

The tracking poll results are based on telephone interviews with 1,531 adults between Dec. 26 and Dec. 28. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Minimum wage to rise in Oregon The minimum hourly wage for Oregon workers will increase 10 cents, to $8.50, on Saturday.

As a result of state Ballot Measure 25, passed in 2002, annual adjustment of the state minimum wage has been tied to inflationary changes according to the Consumer Price Index since 2004.

The minimum wage did not increase on Jan. 1, 2010, after a decline of the Consumer Price Index. The wage has stayed at $8.40 since Jan. 1, 2009, according to the state Bureau of Labor and Industries.

The federal minimum wage has remained $7.25 per hour since July 24, 2009.

New York to settle with Rattner Financier Steven Rattner has agreed to pay $10 million to settle civil charges that he engaged in a kickback scheme involving New York state’s pension fund, ending a personal and public monthlong feud between Rattner and the New York attorney general, Andrew Cuomo.

Under the settlement announced Thursday — just two days before Cuomo becomes New York’s governor — Rattner will pay restitution to the state pension fund and will be barred from appearing in any capacity before a public pension fund within the state for five years. He did not admit any wrongdoing.

New capital for Groupon sets stage for offering Social buying site riding wave of popularity after spurning Google’s $6B offer

By Evelyn M. Rusli New York Times News Service

The 30-year-old founder and chief executive of Groupon, Andrew Mason, could raise as much as $950 million from investors in the next few weeks, laying the groundwork for a multibillion-dollar initial public offering in 2011.

The social buying site, which offers coupons for local businesses, has so far

locked up $500 million in fresh capital from Fidelity Investments, Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, and other large investors — allowing Mason and eight other directors to take a significant amount of cash off the table.

In the coming weeks, the company could bring in another $450 million, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Thursday.

If successful, Groupon’s latest fundraising effort would be the largest ever for a startup, a venture capital record held by DreamWorks Animation SKG for the last 15 years, based on Thomson Reuters data.

A spokeswoman for Groupon declined to comment on the outside investments.

The fundraising is all part of the typical life cycle for an Internet startup.

Treasury shifts stake in Ally Financial WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department on Thursday announced changes to its investment in Ally Financial that may make it easier for the bailed-out lender to launch an initial public offering of stock and repay its government loans.

The Treasury said it plans to convert a portion of its ownership stake in Ally from preferred shares, which pay a dividend, to common shares, which have no dividend but are easier to sell on the open market. The government has already received $2 billion in dividend payments from Ally.

SAN DIEGO — Some people go to court hoping to win millions of dollars. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have already won tens of millions. But six years into a legal feud with Facebook, they want to give it back — for a chance to get more.

The Winklevosses — identical twins and Harvard graduates — say that they, along with another Harvard student, Di-

They have been trying to undo that settlement since, saying they were misled on the value of the deal. But the decision has not been easy.

As recently as Thursday, the brothers considered dropping their effort to unwind the agreement and went as far as drafting a statement to that effect, according to people close to the case. They decided, though, to keep fighting. Their argument is that Facebook deceived them about the value of the shares, leaving them with far less than they had agreed to.

Academic economists consider ethics code

By Sewell Chan New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — When Stanford business professor Darrell Duffie co-wrote a book on how to overhaul Wall Street regulations, he did not mention that he sits on the board of Moody’s, the credit rating agency.

As a commentator on the economy, Laura D’Andrea Tyson, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton who teaches in the business school at the University of California, Berkeley, does not usually say that she is a director of Morgan Stanley.

And the faculty Web page of Richard Clarida, a Columbia professor who was a Treasury official under President George W. Bush, leaves out that he is an executive vice president at Pimco, the giant bond fund manager.

Academic economists, particularly those active in policy debates roiling Washington and Wall Street, are facing greater scrutiny of their outside activities these days. Faced with a run of criticism, including a popular movie, leaders of the American Economic Association, the world’s largest professional society for economists, founded in 1885, are considering a step that most other professions took a long time ago — adopting a code of ethical standards.

A public scolding The proposal, which has not been announced to the public or to the association’s 17,000 members, is partly a response to “Inside Job,” a documentary released in October that excoriates leading academic economists for their ties to Wall Street as consultants, advisers and corporate directors.

Universities and medical schools have tightened disclosure requirements and conflicts of interest policies for scientists, engineers and doctors in recent years, and the main professional associations for political scientists, sociologists and psychologists have all adopted ethical codes.

During the American Economic Association’s annual meeting, in Denver next week, its executive committee will take up a proposal to “consider the association’s role regarding ethical standards for economists,” according to an internal committee agenda obtained by The New York Times.

The association’s president, Robert Hall of Stanford University, would not elaborate on the proposal or say where he stood on it.

Estonia prepares Conveyor belts bring profit to join euro zone to Japanese sushi chain

By Jack Ewing New York Times News Service

TALLINN, Estonia — On Saturday, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip will slide a bank card into an automated teller machine installed for the occasion in front of the Tallinn opera house. He will withdraw some euro bills, and Estonia will officially become the 17th member of the euro area.

To outsiders, it may seem curious that this Baltic nation of 1.3 million is tying itself to the euro just as the common currency is struggling. But in fact, Estonia has been a de facto member for some time, pegging its kroon to the German mark and then the euro after giving up the Russian ruble in 1992.

Economy Continued from B1 And the stock market has risen steadily in recent months, lifting businesses’ confidence and consumers’ wealth.

More generally, a recovery that seemed tentative and halting a year ago now appears to be durable and more entrenched, having weathered its soft patch earlier in the year. Macroeconomic Advisers, one leading forecasting firm, estimates the U.S. economy will grow 4.4 percent in 2011; Moody’s Analytics expects 3.9 percent growth; IHS Global Insight envisions 3 percent growth.

Any of those numbers would represent an improvement over 2010. Although official government numbers are not out yet, gross domestic product looks to have grown 2.7 percent over the past year, Moody’s estimates.

“The economy is on sturdier legs now,” said Robert Dye, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group. “We’re making a transition to a broader, more durable recovery.”

He and other forecasters acknowledge there are risk factors to this sunny forecast that would reduce the pace of growth or even spark another recession.

There is the ongoing contraction by state and local governments, which is sure to be a headwind on growth and could spiral into something worse if a crisis emerges in the market for municipal bonds. Financial troubles in Europe could spill over into U.S. markets. The price of oil and other commodities could rise toward 2008 highs, reducing

Groupon Continued from B1 But Groupon has gone from a quirky idea to Web darling in about two years — an especially fast evolution that got a turbo charge when the Chicago-based company spurned a $6 billion takeover offer by Google in the first week of December.

Meanwhile, Groupon, with revenue above $1 billion, continues to grow at a breakneck pace. In the last month, the site’s subscriber base has jumped 42.3 percent to more than 50 million worldwide, the company said.

On private exchanges that facilitate trading in tech startups, Groupon has an implied valuation approaching $5 billion, up from $1.2 billion in June.

With its giant war chest and investor excitement, Groupon is now expected to hold an IPO at the end of 2011, these people said.

The company’s eagerness to enter the public markets stands in stark contrast to another Internet star, Facebook. The social media giant reluctantly — almost grudgingly — seems headed for an IPO in the next two years. The SEC is looking at private trading in Facebook shares, which may prompt the company to go public earlier than it wants.

If either company holds a public offering, it would be the most highly anticipated since Google’s in 2004. A multibilliondollar deal would also go a long way to reviving the moribund IPO market, which has been in a slump since the financial crisis.

In the last three years, only 61 tech startups have gone public — and none valued at more than $1 billion, according to boutique investment firm Renaissance Capital.

“Whatever happens, our currency is tied to the euro,” said Riho Unt, chief executive in Estonia of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, or SEB, a Swedish bank that is one of the Scandinavian institutions that dominates banking in the country. “Being inside is better than being outside.”

Economic arguments aside, in Estonia the euro is still a symbol — tarnished, perhaps — of hope and prosperity.

“It symbolizes that Estonia has emerged as a full member of the European family,” said Joakim Helenius, chief executive of Trigon Capital, an asset management company in Tallinn. “For people here that is a very big thing.”

Americans’ disposable income.

And U.S. interest rates could rise sharply if investors lose faith that long-term budget deficits will be reduced, that the Fed will do what is necessary to keep inflation from spiking, or that President Obama and congressional Republicans can reach compromises to keep the government functioning.

“The biggest threat to the economy is that we could see bond investors start to sell off their holdings rapidly, leading to everybody exiting the door at the same time and rates move up rapidly,” said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group, a consultancy. “But the bottom line is that the prospect of a double dip recession has really diminished compared with a year ago.”

Yet even the forecasts of Baumohl and other economic optimists offer no economic panacea, given the deep hole the United States is in. Growth in the 3 to 4 percent range would likely only be enough to bring the 9.8 percent November unemployment rate down to about 9 percent, according to a consensus of forecasters.

And the unemployment rate could face upward pressure even as the economy strengthens.

Many Americans appear to have responded to the weak job market by dropping out of the labor force entirely, giving up even looking for work; if the proportion of Americans in the workforce rose back to its pre-recession levels, 3.6 million more people would be looking for a job. As they rejoin the labor force but cannot find a job immediately, it would boost the unemployment rate.

“The market has been waiting a long time for that innovative young company, like a Groupon, to hit,” said Paul Bard, a vice president at Renaissance Capital. “Having one of these companies go public would validate the IPO market for a lot of smaller companies waiting in the wings.”

For Groupon’s new class of investors, it is all about that eventual payday. By jumping in now, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity and Morgan Stanley get an opportunity to peer into the company’s books and more important, get in before the public offering so the potential for a windfall is greater.

T. Rowe Price and Fidelity have participated in venture capital deals before. In 2008, the two firms teamed up on a $50 million fundraising effort for Slide.com, a Web application developer. T. Rowe Price also has a stake in Twitter, which recently raised $200 million.

“Institutional players are dealing with a competitive environment, and they’re looking to put capital to work in a differentiated way,” said Tige Savage, a board member at Groupon competitor LivingSocial. “They see it as an opportunity to get involved earlier at a better price and lock themselves into larger positions at these companies.”

As institutional investors patiently wait for their payout, Groupon’s directors could soon get a windfall. The company plans to use $344.5 million from the latest fundraising round to let Mason and the rest of the board cash out some shares.

That would be the second time this year the company’s founder banked profits. “Historically, most private company investors don’t get meaningful liquidity from other private investors,” he said. “Groupon is the exception, not the rule.”

An employee with Kura, a sushi restaurant chain in Japan, clears a table after diners have left in Sayama, Japan. Kura’s waiters have been largely replaced by conveyors belts that carry sushi to diners and remote managers who monitor Kura’s 262 restaurants from three regional control centers across Japan, a measure that is helping Kura stay afloat in a tough environment for restaurants.

By Hiroko Tabuchi New York Times News Service

SAYAMA, Japan — The Kura “revolving sushi” restaurant chain has no Michelin stars, but it has succeeded where many of Japan’s more celebrated eateries fall short: turning a profit in a punishing economy.

Efficiency is paramount at Kura: Absent are the traditional sushi chefs and their painstaking attention to detail. In their place are sushi-making robots and an emphasis on efficiency.

Absent, too, are flocks of waiters. They have been largely replaced by conveyors belts that carry sushi to diners and remote managers who monitor Kura’s 262 restaurants from three con-

trol centers across Japan. (“We see gaps of over a meter between your sushi plates — please fix,” a manager said recently by telephone to a Kura restaurant 10 miles away.)

Absent, too, are the exorbitant prices of conventional sushi restaurants. At a Kura, a sushi plate goes for 100 yen, or about $1.22.

Such measures are helping Kura stay afloat even though the country’s once-profligate diners have tightened their belts in response to two decades of little economic growth and stagnant wages.

Many other restaurants and dining businesses in Japan have not fared so well. After peaking at 29.7 trillion yen in 1997, the coun-

try’s restaurant sector has shrunk almost every year as a weak economy has driven businesses into price wars — or worse, sent them belly-up. In 2009, restaurant revenue, including from fast-food stores, fell 2.3 percent, to 23.9 trillion yen — 20 percent below the peak, according to the Foodservice Industry Research Institute, a research firm in Tokyo.

Along with other low-cost restaurant chains, Kura has bucked the dining-out slump with low prices and a dogged pursuit of efficiency. In the company’s most recent fiscal year, which ended on Oct. 31, net profit jumped 20 percent from the same period a year earlier.

In the last two months alone,

Ethics Continued from B1 “Like my predecessors, I’m skeptical that the AEA is wellpositioned to cure any ethical lapses that economists may be committing outside the AEA itself,” he wrote in an e-mail.

“Still, the topic might benefit from further discussion within the organization.”

The proposal is likely to raise a host of questions: Should economists be required merely to disclose who finances their research, as many academic journals already require? Should they have to reveal which corporate clients they advise, consult for or give speeches to? Should they even be allowed to serve as corporate directors and officers, as many business and finance professors do?

Long overdue Some scholars say the discussion is long overdue.

“I’m glad the AEA is taking it up,” said Dale Jorgenson, a former president of the association and a longtime Harvard professor (he advised the undergraduate thesis of Ben Bernanke, now the Federal Reserve chairman).

“I’m hoping they take an activist position.”

Jorgenson said that academic economists had fallen behind scholars in other fields in their attentiveness to transparency and should follow the example of the biomedical sciences, where money from the private sector is subject to rigorous disclosure rules. But another former president of the association, Robert Lucas, said universities were better suited to handle the matter.

“It’s good to get this stuff out in the open, but I don’t like the idea of the AEA watching over this,” said Lucas, a Nobel laureate at the University of Chicago.

Lucas added: “What disciplines economics, like any science, is whether your work can be replicated. It either stands up or it doesn’t. Your motivations and what not are secondary.”

Since economics emerged as a modern discipline in the late 19th century, its practitioners have resisted formal ethical codes, said George DeMartino, an economist at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the

Kura has added seven stores.

“If you look at the restaurant business, consumers are still holding back because of employment fears and falling incomes, and there’s no signs that will change,” said Kunihiko Tanaka, Kura’s chief executive, who opened Kura’s first sushi restaurant in 1995.

Kura spends 10 million yen to fit each new restaurant, an investment it says pays off in labor cost savings, said a company spokesman, Takeshi Hattori.

“It’s not just about efficiency,” Hattori said. “Diners love it too.

For example, women say they like clearing finished plates right away, so others can’t see how much they’ve eaten.”

George DeMartino, a professor at the University of Denver, describes concerns about the influence of business on economic research in a new book, “The Economist’s Oath: On the Need for and Content of Professional Economic Ethics.”

Matthew Staver New York Times News Service

“I can see the case for specific rules on conflicts Full disclosure of interest, but that doesn’t begin to exhaust the A recent paper by Gerald Epethical challenges that confront economists.” stein and Jessica Carrick-Hagen— George DeMartino, economist, Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver University of Denver.

In “The Economist’s Oath: On the Need for and Content of Professional Economic Ethics,” to be published next month, DeMartino describes concerns dating to the 1920s about the influence of business on economic research and cites multiple calls within the association for a code of conduct — all of which have been rebuffed.

After one such debate in 1994, the committee concluded that it might not have the relevant expertise to fairly judge ethical disputes; that a fair mechanism to resolve complaints would be hard to establish; and that any such effort could result in lawsuits and prove toothless because of a lack of sanctions for violators.

“I can see the case for specific rules on conflicts of interest, but that doesn’t begin to exhaust the ethical challenges that confront economists,” DeMartino said.

‘Inside Job’ effect What is clear is that the film has rattled the profession.

“You could call this the ‘Inside Job’ effect,” said David Autor, an MIT professor who is a nonvoting member of the

committee but had not heard of the proposal. “Certainly the implication of the movie was that people were selling their academic reputations to further the interests of moneyed individuals and institutions.”

The film is particularly critical of R. Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School and a director of MetLife; Frederic Mishkin, a professor at the same school who advises investment firms; and Martin Feldstein, a Harvard professor who resigned from the board of the American International Group, the insurance giant, after it was bailed out by the Fed and the Treasury.

All have held top posts. Feldstein was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ronald Reagan, a job Hubbard later held under Bush.

Mishkin was a Fed governor.

Hubbard said the association proposal “sounds like a very good idea,” and Mishkin said: “I strongly support having the AEA clarify standards for disclosure because increased transparency would benefit the public and the economics profession.” (Feldstein said he could not discuss his work for AIG on the advice of lawyers.)

barth of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, found that many financial economists who weighed in on the Wall Street overhaul signed into law in July did not prominently disclose potential conflicts of interest.

As an example, they cited Duffie, who like Mishkin was an author of “The Squam Lake Report,” a volume of recommendations on financial reform that was published in June.

“Looking back on it, it was probably an oversight not to say that we not only talk to regulators but have affiliations with players in the financial services industry,” Duffie said.

Others said they saw no problem with their multiple roles.

Clarida, the Columbia professor, said his experiences at Treasury and Pimco “enhance my academic work and my effectiveness in the classroom.”

Tyson, who is an unpaid adviser to the Obama administration, said, “Provided everything is disclosed, there is no reason why an economist who happens to have associations in the private sector should be precluded from speaking out on policy issues.”

But while many economists disclose corporate work on their websites, others do not. Clarida provided a copy of his resume that lists his work for Pimco, but his Web page has an older version that does not.

A N Top Chinese automaker gains foothold in Europe’s giant market

By Matthew Brunwasser New York Times News Service

BAHOVITSA, Bulgaria — Next summer, a new assembly plant here should begin turning out the first Chinese-branded cars in the European Union.

The credit for a factory in this village in the foothills of the Balkans goes to a local tycoon who wants to provide jobs for his neighbors — and a desire by Chinese companies to secure a relatively low-cost foothold in the European Union, the largest single market in the world.

Grisha Ganchev, a Bulgarian wrestler who made a fortune during the economic transition of the 1990s, was the driving force behind the project. Ganchev enlisted Great Wall Motor, a private company that is one of the biggest makers of sport utility vehicles in China, as a minority investor.

The plant is expected to create 1,220 jobs here and to produce 50,000 sedans, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles a year, although the models and technical specifications have yet to be released. Of the initial 97 million euros, or $130 million, in startup costs, Great Wall Motor is putting up about 10 percent, with Ganchev’s holding company, Litex, providing the rest.

Some bigger Chinese investments are being made, but for European nameplates. Geely, for example, bought Volvo from Ford this year. The bankrupt British automaker MG Rover was acquired in 2005 by the Nanjing Automotive Group of China, which in turn merged with another Chinese company, the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., in 2007.

SAIC plans to restart MG production next year.

But analysts said it would be a while before Chinese carmakers could challenge established brands in Western markets.

A few companies have tried to export Chinese-made cars to the European Union, but without much success, said David Sedgwick, editor of Automotive News China. “What you see is Chinese companies talking about Europe, but not making a move yet.”

He also said the operation here was known as a screwdriver plant. “They bring in the kit and reassemble the car, and there’s not a lot of automation,” Sedgwick said. “You really want to pay attention when it’s a full-scale assembly plant. They can cost $500 million to $1 billion. When you see a Chinese automaker taking on that kind of investment, then you know they are serious.”

DETROIT — The great economic quake of ’08 rattled Detroit mightily, wreaking severe damage on the foundation of the U.S. auto industry. Bankruptcies at Chrysler and General Motors, resulting in drastic cuts at the automakers and their suppliers, dominated the headlines day after day.

Behind the front-page news were the more personal stories of job losses — hundreds of thousands across the industry, according to the Labor Department — that were part of the aftershocks. Even so, some who found themselves on the outside discovered that their talents were in demand elsewhere.

Instead of playing musical chairs with competitors or starting down entirely new career paths where their knowledge and experience might not be so highly valued, many of these Detroit graduates have found greener pastures at electric car startups and suppliers.

Technological advances in batteries, motors and electronic controls have created new possibilities for electric-car ventures.

After plodding along for two decades, the carmaking operations are accelerating with the help of a new business model: small, agile organizations aided by a network of outside suppliers, developers and consultants.

That’s good news for the engineers and executives with the expertise needed to move this emerging technology out of the lab, down an assembly line and into customers’ hands.

Credit the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for greasing the skids at the manufacturer level. Nearly $3 billion in loans and grants helped firms developing electric, hybrid-electric and alternative-fuel vehicles gain momentum. The companies, in turn, often hired former Detroit 3 employees who had the required skills.

New opportunities The downturn made available proven leaders like Jim Taylor, who, after a 30-year career on small and large engineering teams, was ready for a change.

One of the first dozen employees of GM’s Saturn division, then later the head of Cadillac and Hummer, Taylor had enjoyed more highs than lows. Af-

Sustainable mobility

New York Times News Service

Tom Reichenbach spent 26 years at Ford working on racing and high-performance projects before leaving during the economic downturn. He’s now the chief engineer at Aptera, an electric car maker. ter GM, he joined Amp Electric Vehicles, an Ohio startup whose ranks include members of the team that developed GM’s EV1 electric car in the 1990s, as vice chairman and chief executive.

“The opportunities here range from the conversion of existing cars to electric drive to establishing new relationships with major manufacturers to help develop electric-propulsion components,” Taylor said.

“All the experience I gained at GM prepared me well for this environment, where there are far more questions than answers.”

He’ll have plenty to do. A utility in Iceland recently hired Amp to provide 1,000 electric SUVs, and Michigan-based DTE Energy wants Amp to electrify part of its fleet.

A bright outlook Tom Reichenbach, chief engineer at Aptera, an electric car maker, is another Detroit graduate thriving in this emerging field. Though he lacked electriccar experience, Reichenbach spent the last half of his 26-year stint at Ford working on racing and high-performance projects.

As engineering manager for the Special Vehicles Team, he helped to develop the Ford GT and the Mustang Shelby GT500.

And until he left two years ago, he was assistant chief engineer for the EcoBoost V-6 engine.

“I was lucky to enjoy a string of fascinating projects,” Reichenbach said. “But when the downturn hit and Ford was

into a fourth round of layoffs, I updated my résumé. When my boss mentioned that, at 56, I was eligible for retirement, I knew I was in trouble.”

He added: “Everyone in Detroit experienced a scare when gas prices spiked and buying habits changed overnight. But I lost faith in Ford’s future when the company’s entire electric vehicle team was part of the first round of engineering layoffs.”

Looking for a challenge less dependent on petroleum supplies, Reichenbach interviewed at two electric-car startups, Aptera and Fisker. Tesla Motors, also on his list, was not hiring when he went prospecting for a new job.

Aptera’s outlook convinced Reichenbach it was a company where he could thrive. “Their business plan was modest, and their growth prospects were geared to cash flow,” he recalled. “Aptera’s desire to build a light and aerodynamically efficient — albeit unusual looking — car made sense.”

He said his new job “is way more fun and rewarding than working at Ford,” adding, “The four-year incubation times there were torture.”

Two of Reichenbach’s colleagues are also Detroit expats.

When Steve Fambro and Chris Anthony, the Southern California dreamers who started Aptera, needed help, they recruited Paul Wilbur. His 26 years of experience with Ford, Chrysler and two specialty firms, ASC and Saleen, qualified him to be president and chief executive.

A few months later, a chief marketing officer, Marques McCammon, was hired; he had been at Chrysler, ASC and Saleen.

Moving quickly Farther up the California coast, Tesla also tapped the Detroit talent pool. The chief financial officer, Deepak Ahuja, came from Ford. The chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, is an alumnus of GM, where he is credited with the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars.

Fisker Automotive, a developer of high-end hybrids in Irvine, Calif., recently hired Linda Theisen as vice president for purchasing. During 20 years at Ford, she worked in North America and Europe. “I’m enjoying much less bureaucracy and far more accountability,” Theisen said.

“We get data, make decisions and move without overanalyzing. It’s a much quicker environment than what I experienced in Detroit.”

Another California startup, Coda Automotive, recruited experts who spent years at GM. Broc TenHouten, a senior engineering vice president, brought chassis design and development experience to the Chinese-made sedans fitted with electric powertrains that the company plans

The battery industry, growing rapidly in response to demand, is also peppered with former Detroit 3 executives. Mary Ann Wright was ahead of the curve when she joined Johnson Controls, a leading auto industry supplier, in 2007, after a highprofile career at Ford. She once led the development of the Escape Hybrid and Ford’s fuel-cell demonstration fleet. Now she is vice president for technology and innovation at Johnson Controls’ power solutions division.

“I decided to focus on sustainable mobility during my time at Ford,” Wright said. “Johnson Controls was an attractive destination not only because it’s the world’s largest battery provider, but also because it’s financially sound, socially responsible and deeply committed to environmental sustainability.”

Several other Ford graduates hold high-level positions at competing battery makers. At A123 Systems, Mujeeb Ijaz is an engineering director and Geoff Taylor is vice president for quality.

Prabhakar Patil, a former colleague of Wright, is chief executive of LG Chem’s North American battery-making subsidiary; Martin Klein, previously of Ford, is engineering director.

GM has also been a training ground for the ranks of electric component companies. Bob Purcell, who once headed the technology group that created the EV1, is now chairman of Protean Holdings, a maker of in-wheel electric motors.

“What we electric-car veterans contribute besides our expertise is a higher level of confidence that a given program will be properly executed,” Purcell said.

“Since we understand how the decision-making and validation processes work inside the large companies, we’re more able to meet ambitious cost and performance targets.”

Lowest Prices in Bend?!!

Overcoming skepticism Julian Nikolov, director of economic policy at the Bulgarian Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism, said Bulgaria was an attractive option for a plant because it was part of the European Union while also offering low taxes and a relatively low cost of labor for the region. “We are actively attracting Chinese investment,” he said, calling it “one of our priorities.”

At Great Wall, Andy Liu, deputy head of European marketing, called Bulgaria an appealing location and said the company’s goal was to also enter the U.S. market.

“Our equipment will be very good and our price will be very competitive,” Liu said by phone from Baoding, in Hebei province.

“That’s a characteristic of Chinese manufacturers.”

The new Chinese sedan will sell for about 5,000 euros, compared with about 6,000 euros for the Logan, a bare-bones model built at Renault’s Dacia plant in neighboring Romania.

But Great Wall’s cars will have to overcome a lot of skepticism, according to car dealers in Sofia.

Mitko Tzonev, general manager of a Renault Dacia dealership, expects no more than 1,000 to 1,500 Great Wall cars to be sold each year — in a country where 26,813 cars were sold in 2009 and 57,927 in 2008.

“The Bulgarian driver is very informed, but not very open to such experiments,” he said with a laugh.

“The only effect is that my client is going to be getting a discharge of her personal obligations of those business debts. The businesses will be paying those debts,” Basham said. “My client has signed personal guarantees of business debts. That is what she is going to get a discharge of.

“The businesses will continue operation and will continue to pay their debts,” Basham said.

“The companies are not filing bankruptcy.”

In a written statement Thursday, Andrews said, “As my attorney will attest, this is a personal bankruptcy and will not impact any of my businesses. The business debts have been reaffirmed and will be paid by the company, including The Bulletin and other printers, Home Federal Bank and Bank of the Cascades. Our longtime staff is aware of the situation and their ongoing support and dedication to journalistic integrity will help ensure the viability of our company.”

The statement said the businesses will continue to operate and continue to print various publications.

“We are also in the development stages of a new online magazine,” Andrews said in her statement.

Andrews has been active in civic groups and has served on a variety of boards, including a 2007 appointment to the board of the Oregon Cultural Trust.

She also sits on the advisory committee for a Central Oregon writers group called The Nature of Words and the BendFilm Festival board, and is a founding member of the Bend Arts, Beautification and Cultural Commission. In 2003, she was awarded a Governor’s Arts Award by Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

The Chapter 7 bankruptcy code provides for liquidation of the debtor’s property other than exempted property such as her home and some $3,000 of personal property, with proceeds from the liquidation distributed to creditors, according to court documents.

A meeting of creditors in the Andrews case is scheduled Feb. 14 at 9:30 a.m. in the Bend National Guard Armory, 875 S.W. Simpson Ave.

Continued from B1 The value of all three of those business entities, identified as part of Andrews’ personal property, is listed as zero in the bankruptcy documents. Jonathan Basham, the Bend attorney representing Andrews in the bankruptcy case, said the zero value represents the value of Andrews’ stock or ownership in the businesses.

The value was determined by subtracting the value of the liabilities of the businesses from the assets of the businesses, he said.

“When you do the arithmetic, there is nothing left over for the value of her shares,” Basham said.

Business names listed under Cascade Publications also include Cascade Visitor’s Guide, Central Oregon Visitors Guide and Summer in Crook County. The Bulletin prints several of Cascade Publications’ products, including Cascade Business News.

Like a lot of people in Central Oregon, Andrews said, the housing market crash left her owing nearly twice as much on her home as it is worth.

“My house was underwater and I had other issues,” Andrews said.

Liabilities include $341,678 owed to creditors holding secured claims, a $23,000 unsecured priority debt owed for 2008 payroll taxes and $543,345 in unsecured nonpriority claims, according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Portland.

Bankruptcy documents show $340,698 in debt on Andrews’ home in Bend, which is valued at $195,000.

The bankruptcy filing showed business losses of $4,001 in fiscal year 2008 and $77,817 in fiscal year 2009. The documents show $18,424 in draws listed for fiscal year 2010, as of the Dec. 23 filing date.

Documents also show two judgments, one entered for Ram Offset Lithographers LLC in Jackson County Circuit Court against Cascade Publications and Pamela Hulse Andrews, and the other entered for Journal Graphics in Multnomah County Circuit Court. Details are not listed in the filing.

Basham said the purpose of the bankruptcy was to discharge Andrews’ personal debts and discharge her personal responsibility for the business debts that she personally guaranteed, including $3,600 owed to Bank of the Cascades, $4,000 owed to Citibank, $19,133 owed to Office Max and $421,641 owed to Home

THE BULLETIN • Friday, December 31, 2010 B5

Facebook passes Google as top website This may go down as the year that social networking trumped searching as America’s favorite online pastime.

In 2010, Facebook pushed past Google to become the most popular site on the Internet for the first time, according to two Web tracking firms. The title caps a year of rapid ascent for Facebook in which the social network hit 500 million users and founder Mark Zuckerberg was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

It also marks another milestone in the ongoing shift in the way Americans spend their time online, a social change that profoundly alters how people get news and interact with one another — and even the definition of the word “friend.”

Since its inception, the service has evolved beyond a vehicle for sharing birthday photos and reconnecting with high school classmates to become a universe unto itself, one where users can watch videos, solicit restaurant recommendations and play games surrounded (at least virtually) by friends and family. Its rise suggests that the influence of search giants such as Google, which answer search queries with a complicated algorithm for ranking links, is giving way to something more personal: our network of friends and other connections.

“This is the most transformational shift in the history of the Internet,” said Lou Kerner, a social-media analyst with Wedbush Securities and former chief executive of Bolt.com, an early networking site. “We’re moving from a Google-centric Web to a people-centric Web.” — The Washington Post

Continued from B1 Whatever their value at the time of the deal, Facebook’s shares have soared since, putting the current worth of the settlement, by some estimates, at more than $140 million.

Next month, the twins and Narendra plan to ask a federal appeals court in San Francisco to undo the deal so they can pursue their original case against Facebook and Zuckerberg, and win a richer payday. They could, though, lose it all.

Still, they say it’s not about the money, it’s about the principle — and vindication.

“The principle is that they didn’t fight fair,” said Tyler Winklevoss during an interview at a pub here recently. “The principle is that Mark stole the idea.”

His brother, Cameron, chimed in, “What we agreed to is not what we got.”

Facebook denies it did anything improper and says the Winklevosses simply suffer from a case of “settlers’ remorse.”

To make matters more complicated, the twins are also at war with the lawyers who helped them win the settlement.

The brothers fired them, accused them of malpractice and refused to pay them. A judge recently found for the lawyers and ordered the twins to pay the 20 percent contingency fee, or $13 million. For now, the money and shares remain in an escrow account.

the Winklevosses, saying they planned a dating site, not a social network.

As the twins talked about the Facebook case, no detail was too small to omit, from where they first met Zuckerberg (the Kirkland House dining room) to the layout of Zuckerberg’s dorm room, to the content of the e-mails he had sent them after they asked him to do computer programming for a website called Harvard Connection.

They recited arcane facts about the valuation of private companies and even quoted from the Securities Act of 1934, which they say Facebook violated when it drew up the settlement.

In addition to a bigger payday, the twins say they want a court to reconsider their original claims about Facebook’s founding, pointing to instant messages on the subject sent by Zuckerberg to friends. The messages have come to light since the brothers signed the deal. But they say Facebook executives and board members have known about the messages since 2006 and played dirty by concealing them when they negotiated the settlement.

“If you take all those documents, it is a dramatically different picture,” Tyler Winklevoss said.

Facebook declined to com-

Riled up Yet their battle with Zuckerberg is what has had them riled up. When they talked about him, and told their version of the founding of Facebook, they helped finish each other’s sentences, easily reciting every last detail of a tale they have evidently told time and again.

“It shouldn’t be that Mark Zuckerberg gets away with behaving that way,” Cameron Winklevoss said.

The company declined to make Zuckerberg available for an interview, and Andrew Noyes, a spokesman, said that Facebook would have no comment “beyond what is already in our appellate briefs.” In the past, Zuckerberg has denied he stole the Facebook idea from

ment on the messages. In prior interviews, Zuckerberg said he had regretted sending some of them.

High-risk case While the Winklevosses could end up losing their settlement, the risks for Facebook are high as well. If the court unwinds the agreement, the company will have to decide whether to offer them a richer settlement or face a trial. Recent trades on a private exchange suggest that Facebook, which is not a public company, now is worth around $50 billion, and the company may not want the negative publicity associated with a trial, especially if it decides to move forward with a stock offering.

The roots of the original dispute date to 2003, when Zuckerberg, then a Harvard sophomore, said he would help the Winklevosses and Narendra program Harvard Connection, later renamed ConnectU. But Zuckerberg delayed work on Harvard Connection and, when pressed for answers, stalled, according to the Winkle-

vosses. In February 2004 he released TheFacebook, which eventually became Facebook.

After ConnectU and its founders sued, Facebook countersued in 2005.

The settlement, which gave Facebook ownership of ConnectU, was supposed to resolve all claims.

The details of the new dispute, which erupted almost immediately, are less known, in part because the parties reached the settlement after a confidential mediation. But according to court documents, the parties agreed to settle for a sum of $65 million. The Winklevosses then asked whether they could receive part of it in Facebook shares and proposed a price of $35.90 for each share, based on an investment Microsoft made nearly five months earlier that pegged Facebook’s total value at $15 billion. Under that valuation, they received 1.25 million shares, putting the stock portion of the agreement at $45 million.

Yet days before the settlement, Facebook’s board signed off on an expert’s valuation that put a price of $8.88 on its shares. Facebook did not disclose that valuation, which would have given the shares a worth of $11 million. The ConnectU founders contend that Facebook’s omission was deceptive and amounted to securities fraud.

They refuse to say how much they would ask for in a new negotiation, but they said that based on the lower valuation, they should have received roughly four times the number of shares. At today’s price, that would give the settlement a value of more than $500 million.

In its brief, the company says it was under no obligation to disclose the $8.88 valuation, which was available in public filings.

Facebook describes it as one of many that it received and as “immaterial” to the calculations of ConnectU founders and their battery of lawyers and advisers.

“There was no chance that that one valuation would have affected the decision of these sophisticated investors and their entourage of advisers,” Facebook wrote in its brief.

Ford, Chrysler recall 165,000 vehicles

By David Shepardson The Detroit News

Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, combined, are recalling nearly 165,000 vehicles.

Dearborn-based Ford said Thursday it is recalling 14,737 2011 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles after two unattended 2011 F-150 vehicles caught fire at the Dearborn Assembly Plant in recent weeks.

The automaker will inspect the Body Control Module, which could be faulty and have an internal short. The suspect parts were produced during a six-day period

by Lear Corp. in Mexico.

Ford said that if an electrical short develops in the part, “an overheating condition may occur, which can result in an unattended vehicle fire.”

It told the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration that the problem caused two fires in 2011 F-150s at the Dearborn plant, including a Nov. 16 incident when a “visible flame” was seen in the cab. The second was Dec. 5.

An investigation by Lear found that a newly hired operator failed to properly clean a soldering machine during four production shifts from Oct. 25-30, resulting in a small number of printed circuit boards with contaminants that could result in a short circuit, Ford said.

Ford said it is unaware of any reports by owners of fires caused by the defect. Ford will begin notifying owners Jan. 10, and its dealers will inspect the part and replace it, if necessary.

Chrysler is recalling 144,000 vehicles in three campaigns, raising its total for 2010 to more than 1.6 million vehicles.

No crashes or injured were involved, it believes.

The Auburn Hills-based automaker said it is recalling 65,180 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles built over a 10-month period.

Wires within the front door harness may fatigue and break.

That could interrupt the circuit and cause an airbag warning lamp to light, or cause the loss of side crashing sensing that could result in an airbag failure, the

company said.

Chrysler said it has received 23 customer complaints of air bag warning lights and 341 warranty claims from the flaw; most were received recently. Chrysler believes cold weather was a factor, and it will replace the wiring in both the left and right doors.

The automaker also is recalling 56,611 2011 Ram 1500 trucks built since September 2009 because some may experience grinding sounds from the rear axle bearing, which may seize and increase the risk of stalling or crashing.

Chrysler said it has received 20 reports of noise or bearing failure, most often within the first 500 miles of driving in the northern United States. It will replace the fluid in the rear axle.

In a third new recall, the automaker said it is calling back 22,274 2008-11 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 trucks that may experience a loss of steering, due to a weakening or cracking of a tie rod part.

The automaker will replace the left outer tie rod and will start notifying owners next month.

Pending home sales, jobless claims improve

By Ruth Mantell and Steve Goldstein MarketWatch

WASHINGTON — A raft of data released Thursday reinforced evidence of the economy’s gradual stabilization.

First-time applications for jobless benefits fell below a milestone level last week, heartening analysts even as they warned of the measure’s volatility. Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors said pending home sales notched a 3.5 percent increase in November, and a key manufacturing gauge hit a 22-year high in December.

Initial claims for regular state unemployment insurance benefits fell 34,000 to a seasonally adjusted 388,000 in the week ended Dec. 25, hitting the lowest level since July of 2008, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

The level of claims helps observers to analyze the health of the labor market, and economists say claims would have to remain below 400,000 before there’s a substantial gain in hiring.

Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected initial claims of 413,000. The fourweek average of new claims, which is smoother than the weekly data, fell 12,500 to 414,000, also reaching the lowest level since July of 2008.

Analysts also note that claims are difficult to seasonally adjust near the holidays. Without seasonal adjustment, the initial claims level rose about 25,000.

“Initial claims can be very volatile around year-end due to seasonal adjustment difficulties related to the holidays and we are cautious about reading too much into any one report,” wrote analysts at RDQ Eco-

The number of people who signed contracts to buy homes rose in November, the fourth increase since contract signings hit a low in June. nomics in a research note.

However, RDQ added, claims have been trending lower.

“Thus, these data indicate that the labor market continued to improve and suggest that job creation picked up in December,” according to RDQ. Analysts at Barclays Capital wrote in a research note that the most recent drop in jobless claims “is clearly a positive signal,” and “reinforces the downward trend that has been in place since mid-summer.”

Next week the government will report on nonfarm payrolls for December, and economists polled by MarketWatch are looking for an increase of 150,000 — up from the prior month’s weak gain of 39,000, but too small to take a large chunk out of the unemployment rate. Wall Street expects the unemployment rate to remain at 9.8 percent.

The positive trend could lift the gloom clouding the housing industry.

“Housing affordability has improved dramatically in recent months, and the recent slide in weekly jobless claims may be allaying potential homebuyers’ fears about job security,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo.

But for now, housing’s recovery is slow at best. The National Association of Realtors said its pending-home-sales index rose to 92.2, a 3.5 percent rise from a downwardly revised 89.1 in October. The index is still 5 percent below November 2009 levels.

The data reflect contracts and not closings, which normally occur after a lag time of one to two months. The index is based on a large national sample, typically representing about 20 percent of transactions for existing-home sales.

The Realtors’ group said the figures suggest a “gradual” recovery into 2011, reflecting housing affordability and an improving economy.

United Way hopes for $1 million by new year Sisters Deschutes County charity $975,000 into $1.3M goal, with 6 months to go

tive that the $1 million be reached before Jan. 1., the United Way would like to see that achieved in order to spend the remaining six months focused on raising the last $300,000.

“Obviously, the overall goal is to reach that $1.3 million mark,” said Rodgers. “But the first five or six months of the campaign are the most public, so the more money we can reach in that time frame, the better off we will be,” she said.

water rates fall to new council REMOTE OBSERVATION

By Molly Black The Bulletin

With just hours to go before the new year arrives, the United Way of Deschutes County is busy crunching numbers. Six months ago, the organization began its fundraising drive with the sole goal of raising $1.3 million to help address social service needs within the county. Currently,

more than $975,000 has been raised, and there are six more months to go.

“Even though the fundraiser is only at the midway point, I would very much like to get close to $1 million by the end of the year. The fundraiser doesn’t end until June 30, but to have $1 million of it raised by the new year would be great,” said Darleen Rodgers, director of resource development

for the United Way of Deschutes County.

Rodgers is hoping to see a last-minute surge of donations before the ball drops.

“We are about $24,000 short of the $1 million mark, but some donors are end-of-the-year donors, so the total changes rather rapidly in the last few days,” she said. While it isn’t impera-

Bend’s utility assistance program offers city residents helping hand

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

Bend resident Mary ChristiBain, 53, knows that to some people, $150 isn’t life-changing. But to the full-time student who has been scraping by from one student-loan paycheck to the next, the $150 she received through the city’s Utility Billing Assistance Program made a significant impact — saving her from losing her water service.

“I’ve just been trying to make ends meet, between going to school and having to sell stuff on Craigslist,” said ChristiBain. “$150 really does go a long way.”

The Utility Billing Assistance Program through the city of Bend has been helping customers with their utilities

since August, and this month was awarded a $6,000 grant through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. So far, the program has helped 37 Bend customers continue to keep their water service.

Christi-Bain, who has been struggling with finances for the past two years while studying to be a medical assistant, received the maximum fee waiver of $150 through the program in September after applying in August. With jobs scarce, she has been unable to supplement her student loans with any sort of income. When she couldn’t come up with the money to pay for her utilities in August, she decided to apply for the assistance.

Correction In a story from The Associated Press headlined “Wind farm splits neighbors who take cash or leave,” which appeared Tuesday, Dec. 28, on Page C3, a sentence inaccurately indicated that the Gilliam County Assessor’s Office said Richard and Joanne Goodhead had

made a significant profit when Caithless Energy bought their land and home. The sentence was in the words of the reporter and should not have been attributed to the County Assessor’s Office.

The Bulletin regrets the error.

The current Sisters City Council failed this year to pass a water rate increase designed to ease budget pressures on the city’s water fund.

It is now up to the new council, which takes office in January, to handle the issue.

Near-constant suggestions and questions have delayed any rate increase, and even Inside when it seemed likely one would pass, councilors have • Sisters city manager been unable to find agreement. gets raise, The city, for instance, sent a news release Dec. 3 predicting Page C2 the council was “set to approve a new water rate structure and water rate” hike at its next meeting. With four of five councilors present, the vote on the increase was tied and the proposal was again stalled.

Mayor Lon Kellstrom had hoped the current council would decide on an increase. Now the decision will be up to the next council, which includes two newcomers — David Asson and Wendy Holzman.

“We may have some more study. I’m trying to avoid that,” Kellstrom said. “We’ve studied the … thing to death 14 times over.”

But Kellstrom may not get his wish.

The latest proposal was not passed, and that has left the door open to more questions. And some on the new council intend to ask more questions.

Under the current proposal, the city would decrease the base water-usage amount from 1,337 cubic feet to 1,000 cubic feet. Customers with most pipe sizes would see the charge for base usage decline slightly. For example, customers with a ¾-inch pipe would pay $18.59 for base usage, down from $19.80.

That means a typical customer would pay slightly less for base usage, but also would get less water for that amount.

If a customer exceeds the base amount, the city would charge $1.64 for every additional 1,000 gallons, which is an increase from the current $1.32 overage charge.

As it weighs how, or whether, to raise the water rates, the city has considered several issues, including conservation, equity and the need for more revenue in the water fund.

Beginning Jan. 1, a prosecutor with the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will move to the other side of the bench. Wells Ashby was sworn in as Circuit Court Judge, position 6, Thursday in an investiture ceremony held at the Deschutes County Justice Building in Courtroom B. Ashby, a Eugene native, has been a local prosecutor for the past five years. He previously worked as a public defender and prosecutor in Idaho and later served in the Josephine County District Attor-

ney’s Office. He began his legal career in Colorado, working with a firm that specialized in banking insurance defense work.

Ashby, who ran unopposed after candidate Thomas Hill withdrew in August, will begin a six-year term with the new year. He is replacing Judge Edward Perkins, who is retiring after three decades on the bench.

Circuit Court judge positions pay $114,468 per year.

City manager Eileen Stein gets $2,400 raise

Continued from C1 Without an increase, the water fund would have a roughly $90,000 shortfall, according to the city. But even if councilors agree an increase must happen, they have yet to agree on how it should be implemented.

Councilor Sharlene Weed said the gridlock’s cause was there from the start. The council never settled on whether it wanted to emphasize equity or conservation, or balance the two issues.

Under the current billing model, low water users help carry the burden for heavier water users.

If a customer only uses 900 cubic feet of water per month, that customer is paying the same rate as one who uses 1,300 cubic feet per month.

The thinking goes that by lowering the base rate, customers who use less water would carry less of the heavy users’ burdens.

The rate changes could look different depending on how the council emphasizes each issue, according to Weed, who won reelection in November. Had the council agreed on a point of emphasis, the rate may have been finalized already, she said.

The council also struggled to focus, so councilors sometimes offered new proposals. That kept staff working through complex

United Way Continued from C1 The money raised will assist the 26 social service agencies that rely in part on funding from the United Way. Organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Saving Grace, to name a few, are directly affected by this campaign. “It (the money) basically goes directly to services,� said Paula Little, development director for Saving Grace. “We have a 24bed shelter, a 24-hour hot line, therapy services for women and children who have been in domestic violence, all of these are funded as a result of the United Way,� she said.

Saving Grace serves more than 4,200 women and children in the Central Oregon area, and Little believes that without the help of the United Way and the donors who fund the campaign, the organization wouldn’t be able to help those in need. “The money keeps our services running, and without it, we have less revenue and less that we are able to provide,� Little said.

Rodgers also expressed the importance of the United Way fundraising campaign, explaining that the closer the United Way is to reaching the goal of $1.3 million, the more organizations like Saving Grace will benefit.

Sisters City Manager Eileen Stein received a nearly $2,400 raise Thursday, bumping her annual salary to $82,388.

The Sisters City Council approved the raise, which is designed both to reward Stein’s performance and to reflect her position as head of city administration. In June, Stein was making $75,420, and the city’s public works and finance directors were both making about the same.

Mayor Lon Kellstrom said then that he didn’t think that was appropriate and pushed for Stein’s raise. In the summer, the council agreed to give Stein a multistep raise. The final one was approved Thursday. “I wish we would’ve taken care of it a couple years ago, but we didn’t,� Kellstrom said.

Councilor Sharlene Weed said the final step would not have happened had the council been unhappy with Stein’s work. But Stein also deserved to earn a higher salary than people who work for her, Weed said. “If we didn’t bump her up, our public works director would’ve been making more than (Stein),� Weed said. “That’s just not right.�

Stein said she was pleased by the council’s decision to award the final step. The move, she said, reflects how much more city managers tend to make than directors who report to them. City managers typically make 10 to 20 percent more than directors, according to Stein. “This was an effort to create that separation,� Stein said.

The raise takes effect Saturday. — Patrick Cliff, The Bulletin

issues in response to requests from the council. “There was a council that was not even close to being in agreement,� Weed said. “Where do you go as a staff person with that?

It’s all over the map. That’s why

“What we do is help fund these agencies, allowing them to utilize their talent, skills and abilities where they are most helpful,� said Rodgers. “Our goal is to ensure that these agencies do not have to spend their time worrying about finances. In most cases, the agencies apply for grants or ask for help with budget needs, so there is literally an allocation committee that designates funds of certain amounts that goes to the 26 agencies. The United Way is truly helping supplement these agencies. The money provided relieves pressure, and the fundraising campaign helps us do so.�

The fundraising campaign relies on donations from larger corporations and businesses, as well as from individual contributors.

Utilizing both workplace and letter campaigns, the organization attempts to reach a broad base of Deschutes County citizens. “Generally, the most public portion of the campaign is the workplace campaign, in which presentations are given in the workplace about the organizations that work with the United Way,� Rodgers said. “And while that is taking place, a lot is happening behind the scenes also.

We have a letter campaign that sends a letter to faithful donors allowing us to reapproach them for another donation.�

Saving Grace is also trying to do its part in helping the United Way reach its goal.

I think framing the questions would’ve helped get us focused.�

Despite the months-long process, Weed is concerned that Sisters residents have not had the chance to voice support or opposition for rate changes. Even-

“We actually go out into the community with United Way and together we speak to corporations like Pepsi Cola and Macy’s. We give a presentation to employees to increase awareness of the organization so people know who they are giving to,� said Little. “This helps us reach out to organizations we may not typically be able to because we may not have the connections or means to do so.�

Little also explained that donors, whether they are businesses or individual contributors, like to know they are investing in something worthwhile, and the presentations and letters provided by the United Way may help them do so. “They do an amazing job within the community, educating them about the different organizations, showing the community who these organizations are and what they do. The United Way gets the community excited about the organizations and motivated to donate,� said Little.

And it is donations from the community the United Way is relying on. “Out of necessity, we dwell on the dollars because they pay the bills,� said Rodgers, “but the truth is, these donations help fund some great organizations in the community. And these organizations impact the lives of the people who live here.�

Rodgers is hopeful that the community will continue to respond positively to the United

3 snowshoers found near Willamette Pass Three snowshoers lost in the forest near Willamette Pass were rescued Thursday morning following an all-night search by members of the Deschutes, Lane and Klamath county sheriff’s departments.

About 7 p.m. Wednesday, Klamath County 911 operators received a call for help from the snowshoers. The group had been snowshoeing near Maiden Peak Shelter, about three miles northeast of Willamette Pass ski area, and had become stranded due to adverse weather conditions.

Because it was unclear what county the snowshoers were in, the three sheriff’s offices organized a joint search effort in cooperation with ski area personnel.

Deep snow and poor weather limited the rescuers’ progress,

according to a news release, and at times they were only able to travel 50 yards in an hour.

Just after 5 a.m., rescuers reached the three snowshoers.

Annie Mason, 26, Roman Anderson, 30, both of Eugene, and Joseph Walch, 32, of Central Point, were found in good condition and transported back to the ski area.

ABC returning to Dish Network subscribers KOHD-TV service has been restored for Dish Network customers, according to a pair of news releases Thursday evening.

For two weeks, the Bend ABC affiliate’s parent company, Chambers Communications Corp. of Eugene — which also owns ABC affiliates in Eugene and Medford — had been in re-

transmission consent negotiations over the three channels. In that time span, Dish customers who ordinarily would have been able to watch the channels saw a message concerning the ongoing negotiations. “We are pleased we have reached a fair deal with Chambers Communications Corp. to bring back the ABC stations in Eugene, Medford and Bend,�

Dave Shull, Dish’s senior vice president of programming, said in a Dish news release.

In a Chambers news release, Dana Siebert, president and chief operating officer, said, “We are very pleased to have reached a new long-term agreement with Dish Network and restore service to our satellite viewers.�

It was not clear late Thursday what the two companies’ new contract entails.

Councilor-elect Asson said he supports the idea of a rate increase, but he is not convinced by the data he has seen. A retired certified public accountant, Asson said he wants to pore over the data to be sure all of it is accurate before voting on the rate increase.

He hopes to have that data within the first few weeks of taking office in January. “If we have to kick it down the road a little farther before we get it done, I will probably argue for that,� Asson said.

Both Kellstrom and Weed are optimistic that the changing council membership will help push the water rate issue forward. The longer the council pondered the rate change, the more each councilor grabbed on to a specific issue.

With Asson and Holzman on the council, Weed hopes a new momentum will help move the issue along. “Once the new council is seated, I think there will be a little bit of a new perspective there,�

Weed said.

O Feathers fly in fight over chickens Municipalities struggle with rising trend of backyard bird farms

By Winston Ross The (Eugene) Register-Guard

YACHATS — Yves Nakahama never intended to become the frontline leader of the backyard chicken movement in Yachats.

The idea was to come up with a compromise, a pilot program, a way to show the City Council that the consequences of easing restrictions on chickens in the city limits are minimal, if not nil.

But then the feed store called to let Nakahama know the Araucana chicks he ordered back when he thought he’d be able to talk the city into a trial period were ready to be taken home.

So he bought some feed, picked up three hens and a rooster, began raising the birds in his bathroom before transferring them to a backyard coop — despite its location, within 100 feet of his neighbors, in violation of city code.

But those neighbors actually welcomed the birds, Nakahma insists. And he rewarded them by handing over the very first

egg that hatched, courtesy of Candy, the only hen to lay so far.

But Dusty the rooster drew complaints, one from across U.S. Highway 101 and another from up the hill, on his side of the road.

The city issued a citation, Nakahama went to court, and the latest kerfuffle in the nationwide quandary over how municipalities can best deal with the rise in backyard chicken farming was born.

Nakahama gave Dusty away, but said he’s determined to keep Candy, Easy and Butter right where they are.

“I always felt, no matter what, I was going to keep my hens,” Nakahama said. “I think it’s just a matter of time before the city comes around.”

One by one, many Oregon municipalities have had to deal with the chicken conundrum lately, thanks to an increase in demand for chickens in urban areas of as much as 20 percent a year since 2007, local growers say.

The Gresham City Council

legalized chicken-keeping in December, unlike Beaverton’s government, which insists upon keeping the birds at bay.

Springfield allows residents up to four hens; in Eugene, the limit is two.

“This has been a big issue across the state this year,” said Chad Jacobs, general counsel for the League of Oregon Cities. “A lot of cities say a certain number of chickens, but no roosters.

Some jurisdictions allow potbellied pigs.”

Lane County has concocted what may be one of the most Byzantine chicken laws. In rural residential zones of two- to fiveacre parcels, up to 85 chickens per acre are permitted. But within the urban growth boundaries of Junction City, Cottage Grove, Florence and Creswell zoned “suburban residential,” only one chicken over the age of 6 months is allowed per 500 square feet of property — and no roosters over 6 months. Chickens under 6

months are OK, but can’t exceed three times the number of allowable chickens over the age of 6 months. In those areas deemed “rural residential,” the rules are the same, except that roosters aren’t mentioned by name.

“So I guess you can have roosters,” said county planner Deanna Wright. “I don’t really know.”

Yachats first considered the matter a couple of years back, when a group including Nakahama who named themselves “Chicks for Hens” went to the City Council to ask for an easing of the ordinance banning chickens within 100 feet of neighboring residences.

To Nakahama’s surprise, there was considerable opposition.

Meanwhile, he heard that a business in town had been housing ducks, and nobody seemed to be complaining. Plus, Nakahama had already ordered the chickens. So when the feed store called, he decided to wing it.

“The city feels like I did this behind their back,” Nakahama said.

“I think it was the rooster that kind of messed things up for me.”

O B 3 lost snowboarders found uninjured CLACKAMAS — A Clackamas County sheriff’s spokesman says three snowboarders have been rescued after they spent several hours lost in an out-of-bounds area of Mount Hood Ski Bowl.

Detective Jim Strovink said the trio apparently became disoriented and traveled down the south side of the resort. After they called for help Wednesday afternoon, searchers kept in touch with them by cell phone and were able to pinpoint their location.

They were rescued about 7 p.m. Wednesday in an area where the snow was about 3 feet deep. Strovink reports they were cold, wet and tired but otherwise OK. They were identified as 24-year-old Trevor Rome, of Sherwood, 25-year-old Brandon Miller, of Vancouver, Wash., and 26-year-old Jesse Moline, of Vancouver, Wash.

Police shooting justified, jury says

GETTING THEIR FILL OF FRESH SNOW

PORTLAND — A Multnomah County grand jury says Portland police were justified in the fatal Dec. 17 shooting of a 45-year-old man who pointed a realistic-looking fake gun at them in an apartment building.

Officers Jonathan Kizzar and Kelly Jenson had responded to a 911 call about a man reportedly threatening people with a 9mm handgun.

Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said earlier that shortly after the officers knocked on the man’s door, they reported he had pointed a handgun at them and that shots had been fired.

Darryel Ferguson died of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen.

Police recovered a Colt Defender BB air pistol, modeled after the model 1911 .45-caliber handgun used by the military for years.

Lowell shooting was self-defense, DA says

Assistance Continued from C1 “They really made me feel like I shouldn’t be ashamed to ask for help,” said Christi-Bain of the application experience. “They made me feel like everybody deserves a helping hand.”

Now with the new grant, the program will be able to offer that help to even more city residents.

According to city of Bend Communications Manager Justin Finestone, the new funds will most likely be available within the next month, and the program is still accepting applications from Bend residents.

“It’s nice because this program is open to anyone, not just seniors or people with disabilities like some of the other assistance programs,” said Finestone, adding that this is one of the first city programs that operates on community donations. In order to qualify for assistance, applicants must be residents of Bend and must meet income requirements. The income requirements vary depending on the number of people per household, but for a single-person household, income cannot exceed $35,400 in order to be eligible.

Also, the resident’s water service must be provided through the city of Bend with an active account.

The maximum amount of assistance is for $150 per year, and according to Finestone, everyone so far who has qualified for the program has received that amount.

The assistance program is funded solely by donations from individuals in the community, which it began collecting in January.

Those interested in donating to the program can download a donation form at http://www.ci.bend.or.us/depts/finance/utilitybilling/docs/Utility_ Assistance_Donation_Form.pdf.

Those interested in finding out more information about the Redmond Utility Assistance program should visit www.ci.redmond.or.us/internet/ index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=274&Itemid=463, or call 541-923-7765.

Applications were accepted beginning in August. The program has provided a total of $5,500 in assistance to Bend residents to date.

“I think it has been successful so far,” said Finestone. “We want to continue to help people get assistance until the economy gets better.”

The city of Redmond offers a similar utility assistance program, which has been operating since February. The program offers those who qualify a $50 credit in utility money, and $100 in some circumstances. Partnering with St. Vincent de Paul in Redmond, the program operates mostly on donations from individuals and businesses in the community.

“We keep hearing that we’re coming out of the recession,” said Cameo Chambers, director of social services at St. Vincent de Paul.

“But we’ve actually had more people applying for assistance recently because they’ve run out on their unemployment money.”

In the month of November, $1,471 was distributed in rent assistance to Redmond residents.

Summer Sears, controller in the account division of the city of

Redmond, said that while she expects the assistance program to continue expanding, the amount of need in the community is overwhelming.

“We’re hoping to help more people, but we’ll never be able to meet all the need,” said Sears.

“We’re really only making a small dent at this point.”

However, Bend resident Christi-Bain says that she is thankful the city of Bend offers a utility assistance program.

“It really made a huge impact,” said Christi-Bain. “The help was really remarkable, and it was very well received.” She said that the difficult economic times and poor job climate caused her to apply for the program, and that prior to these past two years, she has never applied for any public assistance.

“It was pretty darn generous of them,” said Christi-Bain of the city of Bend. “They made a huge difference in my life, and they didn’t make me feel like I should have my head down when I asked for their help.”

LOWELL — The Lane County district attorney says a 62-year-old man acted in self-defense when he fatally shot his stepson at the family’s Lowell home.

District Attorney Alex Gardner said Thursday that an inebriated Shawn Gamble picked a fight with his stepfather, Jimmie Allen Montgomery, on Monday and as-

saulted him near a shed on the property.

Montgomery retreated to the main house and the 36-year-old Gamble followed. The older man grabbed a small-caliber handgun near his bed and warned that he would fire if Gamble kept coming. Other family members prevented Gamble from grabbing a gun but he still resumed his attack on Montgomery and the older man fired multiple shots.

Dumping is costly for donation centers PORTLAND — Donation centers in Portland get it all: drug needles, dirty underwear and a bag of chicken feathers.

But hauling away all of that garbage costs thousands of dollars, KATU-TV reports.

Salvation Army Maj. James Sloan said people use the donation center as a dump, often dropping off unwanted items when the center isn’t manned.

The Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries recycle what they can, and sell unsold clothing to exporters who send it to buyers overseas.

But hazardous materials like furniture finisher costs money to dispose of, and the tab is getting big.

Goodwill Industries in Portland says it has spent $1.25 million through November this year taking garbage to the dump.

The Salvation Army says it has spent $25,000 a month to take care of unusable items.

Dallas man accused in shooting at his home DALLAS — A Dallas man has been arrested after allegedly shooting another man with a hunting rifle.

KATU-TV reported 20-yearold Anthony Uribes escaped his apartment, where the shooting took place, and fled to his mother’s house late Wednesday night.

The victim, who was not identified, is expected to survive.

Local police and a tactical unit surrounded the apartment complex where Uribes lives.

His mother called police at 4 a.m. Thursday to say Uribes wanted to turn himself in.

No charges have been announced against Uribe, and police have not said what led to the shooting.

What’s the purpose of wetland plan?

D

espite a slew of complaints about the idea, the U.S. Forest Service continues to plan to re-create a wetland on the Deschutes River south of Bend. The most recent

questions about the project come from the region’s irrigators, who rely on the river to water their crops. Yet even if those concerns are addressed, one still has to ask about the validity of the whole idea.

The land in question, known as Ryan Ranch Meadow, lies along the Deschutes between Benham and Dillon falls. It was a wetland once, but a dike erected about 90 years ago dried the land and created the meadow now there. It is among the forest’s most popular trail areas and is home to elk, among other species.

The Forest Service, that perennially financially strapped federal agency, hopes to replace what’s there now with what was there before, only better.

It wants to remove the dike, build a boardwalk across what it believes will the soggiest part of the area, and put up interpretive kiosks for those who continue to visit.

Some object because they worry the elk will discover they liked the area dry. Irrigators are concerned that allowing the river to return to its original channel will change water flows downstream, reducing the amount of water they have for crops.

They believe the Forest Service must obtain water rights to do what it wishes at Ryan Meadows, though that hasn’t been settled yet.

Finally, those who use the area are concerned about the likelihood that a wetland will become a fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes, which already pose a problem there.

The Forest Service doesn’t discount their concern; instead, one official told a Bulletin reporter ear-

One has to ask just why the Forest Service seems so intent on its plans for yan Ranch Meadow. Going back to a nature that’s been absent for nearly a century simply doesn’t make sense, particularly when the area in question is so popular in its current form. lier this year that the project will provide good habitat for the biting bugs that can make visiting the area uncomfortable.

In the end, one has to ask just why the Forest Service seems so intent on its plans for Ryan Ranch Meadow. Going back to a nature that’s been absent for nearly a century simply doesn’t make sense, particularly when the area in question is so popular in its current form.

The agency surely has other spots in need of restoration, places where the land has been misused and where restoration really would be an improvement.

Those who now enjoy Ryan Ranch Meadow, meanwhile, are right to worry about its future.

Grin, bear gas tax hike

H

ere’s something else to add to your holiday bills. Beginning Saturday, gas taxes in Oregon will rise by 6 cents per gallon. That isn’t a huge jump, and the money certainly is needed, but still, the increase is sure to come with its own share of sticker shock.

Though it’s been in the works for more than two years, the increase is likely to catch many Oregonians by surprise. It was approved by the Legislature in the spring of 2009 and the measure including it delayed implementing the tax until now.

Cynics might suggest the delay was a way of helping to ward off what usually happens when lawmakers increase the price of fuel: Angry citizens begin circulating petitions, and before you know it, voters repeal the increase before it ever goes into effect. That has not happened this time.

In fact, the increase and the measure it was part of actually make sense. Oregonians already have seen vehicle registration and title fees rise because of the bill and survived. Automobile registration fees now are $77 every two years, up from $54, while title fees, paid when you purchase a

car, rose to $77 from $55. The 6-cent gas tax hike brings the state’s take from a gallon of gas to 30 cents.

Moreover, while some other states collect somewhat lower taxes directly for a gallon of gas, motorists often must pay additional sales tax, pollution taxes and the like.

No one likes the thought of having to pay more to drive, but in this case the money thus generated will be put to good use.

In Bend, for example, the state expects to spend $25 million of the $300 million it hopes to raise each year to build a Murphy Road overpass above the parkway. Other projects are planned across the state and, in fact, most larger cities will see improvements as a result of the increase.

No one doubts that Oregon’s roads and highways could use all the tender, loving care they can get, if only there were the money available to provide it. This increase falls short of doing that, though it will help make things better. Given that, we’d be wise to swallow hard and try not to flinch if the cost of filling up is suddenly a bit higher than it was before.

Giving Pledge for common citizen

By Jacob S. Hacker and Daniel Markovits Los Angeles Times

T

he tax bill passed last month perpetuates the huge unfunded giveaways to the rich that have for a generation increasingly divided our nation. Rebuilding the American middle class requires tackling this growing divide head-on. If our politicians won’t or can’t, then ordinary Americans must and can.

Those who believe the tax deal gives too much to the top should devote at least some of their tax cuts to charitable causes that embody fairer policies and send a clear political message: We are in this together.

The need is pressing. Despite the recession’s end, high unemployment and ongoing economic instability continue to inflict hardship on millions of workers and their families. Meanwhile, Wall Street bonuses are rising again and the richest continue to prosper.

Our broken political institutions are blocking an adequate public response.

The tax deal has some good elements.

The payroll tax holiday will boost employment (but it could also create risks for Social Security’s long-term standing). The extension of unemployment benefits, so vital for the jobless and for encouraging a fragile recovery, should never have been controversial. But the Republican Party has insisted, as the price for begrudgingly permitting a modest amount of spending on recovery, that the rich get more than their fair share.

This is bad policy. The outsized tax cuts for the richest Americans and their heirs subvert the principle that those who benefit the most from the American project should pay the most to carry it forward — “not for class warfare reasons,” President Clinton reminds us, but “for reasons of fairness and rebuilding the middle class in

The outsized tax cuts for the richest Americans and their heirs subvert the principle that those who benefit the most from the American project should pay the most to carry it forward.

America.”

These “reasons of fairness” apply especially in hard times, when those with the biggest cushions should take on a commensurate share of the burdens. When political institutions use taxes paid by all to bail out institutions that are perceived to benefit only the wealthy few, our sense of shared fate is threatened. The economy looks less and less like a common project and more and more like an exclusive party to which only some Americans are invited but for which all have to pay.

To their credit, many of the most fortunate Americans believe they should contribute more. The Giving Pledge campaign, started by two of the nation’s wealthiest citizens, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, encourages the super-rich to donate half or more of their fortunes to charity.

But that does not mean the rest of us have to sit by. Ordinary Americans can, as in earlier periods of national crisis, join together to invest our private actions with public meaning. We cannot make law or fiscal policy, of course. But we can and should act to mimic sound and decent policy.

Americans who can afford it should contribute the windfall that they receive because of the Republicans’ obstructionist demands to charities that promote the programs — job creation, housing, education and the like — that they believe a just government should pursue.

This would be a kind of Giving

Pledge for the common citizen, a way of converting the private generosity that so many Americans demonstrate into public solidarity. It would be an expression of the indelible idea embodied in our Pledge of Allegiance of “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Pursued under this banner, philanthropy would become “political” in the best sense of the word.

We have created a website to assist in this task, GiveItBackforJobs.com.

Yet we mean our effort only as a signal of the need for a broad national movement to protest the ongoing forfeiture of the public good for private gain.

Nothing can take the place of a just tax policy. But political philanthropy can provide immediate help to struggling families.

And through its public purpose, it can serve as a form of protest that reclaims American ideals from a legislative process that has squandered them. By putting our money where our mouths are, perhaps we can light a path to better policies — and a better American politics.

Casinos are a scourge on Oregon families and taxpayers

By Dick Beal The Bulletin guest columnist

T

he Bulletin’s recent coverage of casinos in the state of Oregon paints a rosy picture … for the tribes who own them. However, The Bulletin left out several things that would have given the public — and it is this public they depend on for revenue — a clearer picture.

First of all, consider the following: A June 12, 2008, news release from a law firm representing People Against a Casino Town titled “Oregon Court of Appeals issues decision” states, “The Oregon Court of Appeals yesterday delivered a setback to tribal casinos statewide, and to Governor Kulongoski for signing the compact for the casino in Florence. A unanimous court ruled that the People Against a Casino Town (PACT), a group of Florence citizens opposed to the Florence, Oregon, casino, were entitled to go forward with their

suit against the governor that seeks to determine whether he has the ability to enter into these compacts in light of the Oregon Constitution’s prohibition on casinos.”

The Oregon Constitution clearly states “any casino in the State of Oregon is illegal.” In addition, there are at least five attorneys working on this for the governor’s office (at taxpayer expense) trying to cut a deal to get the state of Oregon out of this dilemma.

No mention was made of the thousands of families and homes destroyed by the addiction to gambling these operations thrust upon the public. Listing an 800 number to contact if you feel you have a gambling problem doesn’t cut it.

Nevada has a gaming commission; anyone can file a complaint with and the complaint is carefully reviewed. Tribes in Oregon have their own tribal gaming commission. Try lodging a complaint with them. You will be laughed out of

IN MY VIEW the building. If you think these gaming facilities are concerned with the welfare of the families of their contributors (and that is anyone who walks through the door), you are sadly mistaken.

When the case against Three Rivers in Florence comes to trial, I have been included on the witnesses list and will gladly testify against them. These entities are a cancer on society and the reason nothing has been done about them is because of the millions of dollars they contribute to the treasure chests of politicians at the state and federal level.

Careful examination will confirm this.

The following serves to inform this lawsuit is not going away.

As stated on PACT’s website, on December 1, 2009, PACT attorneys filed a motion for summary judgment asking “Lane County Circuit Court for an or-

der of summary judgment … and … to issue a peremptory writ of mandamus, requiring Oregon Governor Theodore Kulongoski to withdraw the governor’s signature from the tribal-state compact, forbid all state agencies, members of the executive branch, and state employees from taking any action in furtherance of the compact on behalf of the State, and discontinue all executive branch actions authorizing or permitting the operation of the casino on the Hatch Tract.”

The incoming governor is inheriting the can of worms left over by his predecessor. Since he found the state of Oregon “ungovernable” by his own admission when he left office after his first two terms, it will be interesting to see how the executive branch wiggles and waffles to get out of this one. All at taxpayer expense, of course.

Recounting a trip to Nevada on a casino flight which continues to operate to this day, I found two slot machines that

did not count out the proper amount of credits. I documented the machine numbers and filed a complaint with the State of Nevada Gaming Commission.

To make a long story short, I received a complete refund for the flight and hotel rooms by the casino corporation involved. They did not want this to go any further. I will leave it to the reader’s speculation as to the rest of the story. If you think anything like this will ever happen in the state of Oregon, think again. The casinos in Oregon are interested in only one thing, and that is how much money they can extract from the public’s maxed-out credit cards and ATM cards.

There will come a day when these people will be put out of business and left with the single option of operating bingo parlors. That is where they belong.

Dick Beal lives in Sunriver.

Ray Mumford passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease on Dec. 25, 2010, in Bend, OR, at the age of 88.

Ray was born in San Dimas, CA, growing up among the citrus groves, and quickly proving adept at Raymond repairing Mumford engines and automobiles. When the U.S. entered WWII, Ray's mechanical skills and talent were desperately needed here at home.

The U.S. government employed him with the Civil Service as an aircraft mechanic at Edwards Air Force Base where he served for 40 years.

After the war ended, Ray found himself working with the test pilots that eventually became America's first astronauts.

Ray often recounted the excitement of securing Chuck Yeager into the seat of the jet he piloted to break the sound barrier in 1947. Known for his warm heart and happy disposition, Ray was always quick with a joke. Ray also loved animals and it was said that even the most temperamental creature was instantly charmed by him.

By T. Rees Shapiro The Washington Post

Geraldine Doyle, who as a 17-year-old factory worker became the inspiration for a popular World War II recruitment poster that evoked female power and independence under the slogan “We Can Do It!,” died Sunday at a hospice in Lansing, Mich. She was 86.

Her daughter, Stephanie Gregg, said the cause of death was complications from severe arthritis.

For millions of Americans throughout the decades since World War II, the stunning brunette in the red and white polka-dot bandanna was Rosie the Riveter.

Rosie’s rolled-up sleeves and flexed right arm came to represent the newfound strength of the 18 million women who worked during the war and later made her a figure of the feminist movement.

But the woman in the patriotic poster was never named Rosie, nor was she a riveter. All along it was Doyle, who, after graduating from high school in Ann Arbor, Mich., took a job at a metal factory, her family said.

One day, a photographer representing United Press International came to her factory and captured Doyle leaning over a piece of machinery and wearing a red and white polkadot bandanna over her hair.

In early 1942, the Westing-

The Associated Press ile photo

Geraldine Hoff Doyle shows off the famous Rosie the Riveter poster that was created in her likeness as part of a World War II recruitment drive. house Corp. commissioned artist J. Howard Miller to produce several morale-boosting posters to be displayed inside its buildings. The project was funded by the government as a way to motivate workers and perhaps recruit new ones for the war effort.

Smitten with the UPI photo, Miller reportedly was said to have decided to base one of his posters on the anonymous, slender metal worker — Doyle.

The artist did take some liberties with Doyle’s physique, her family said. “She didn’t have those big muscles,” Gregg said.

“She was busy playing cello.”

Many bowl-bound programs spend millions on football

Ducks running back James set to return for the 2011 season EUGENE — Heisman Trophy finalist LaMichael James is coming back to Oregon next season.

James, a sophomore running back and the nation’s leading rusher this season, had repeatedly suggested he would forgo an early entry to the NFL draft. Thursday’s announcement made it official.

“I came to the University of Oregon to get a quality education as well LaMichael as to play James football, and feel I have yet to complete that goal,” he said in a statement.

James has thrived in Oregon’s speedy spread-option offense. He has run for 1,682 yards this season, averaging 153 a game. He’s also averaging a national-best 12 points a game. His 22 touchdowns (21 on the ground plus one touchdown reception) are a school record.

His play has helped carry the No. 2 Ducks to the national championship game, where they will play No. 1 Auburn in Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 10.

Oregon spent $18 million this year, ranking 16th out of 70 teams in bowls

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

The numbers grow every year: 35 bowl games, 70 teams — the morphing of what was once a New Year’s Day tradition into one that kicks off in mid-December and finishes closer to Martin Luther King Day than Jan. 1.

And if those bowl-season stats seem bloated, try this: Ohio State and Alabama each spend more than $31 million a year to run their football programs, while nine other teams closing out the season at one of those 35 bowl games spend $20 million plus.

The cheapest bowl-bound program? That would be Troy, winner of the New Orleans Bowl on the first postseason weekend, at just a shade over

LOCAL Resolution Run offered in Sisters on New Year’s Day SISTERS — The Resolution Run, a benefit for the lifeskills special education class at Sisters Middle School, is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday — New Year’s Day. The event, which will not be timed, is billed as a fun run/walk of 5 kilometers or 5 miles, starting and finishing at the Sisters Athletic Club, 1001 Desperado Trail.

Hot chocolate and doughnuts will be available after the run. Well-behaved dogs on a leash will be allowed to join their owners for the run/walk.

Cost to participate is $15 for adults, $10 for children, or $35 for families. Registration forms and additional information are available at sistersathleticclub.com. Registration will also be available at the club Saturday before the start of the race.

Mountain View wins in overtime Cougars rally to beat Phoenix to win Summit tournament

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

On the eve of Intermountain Conference play, Mountain View finally appears to have hit its stride.

Coming off an intense 87-73 victory over crosstown-rival Bend High on Wednesday night, the Cougars rallied late to defeat Phoenix 67-63 in overtime in the boys basketball championship game of the Summit Holiday Tournament on Thursday.

James Reid scored 17 points, David Larson added 14 and Mitch Modin and Blake Bosch scored 12 points apiece in what was Mountain View’s most balanced offensive game of the season.

“For our guys to come off an emotionally draining game

$5 million. That’s nearly $23 million less than they spend an hour away at top-ranked Auburn, where the Tigers are playing for the national title this season. Auburn’s opponent in the BCS game, Oregon, spends $18 million — 16th among the bowl-bound schools.

The statistics come from the Department of Education, which has required universities to submit the amount they spend on sports since 2000 as part of the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act. With that information, the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool was created. And while the database comes with disclaimers and caveats stating that there are no hard-and-fast guidelines as to what schools count under the term “expenses” and “revenue,” these are the numbers they report to the federal government.

After OSU ($31.7 million) and ’Bama ($31.1 million), the rest of the top five biggest spenders include Notre Dame, Auburn and LSU, according to the database.

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL

Bears grind out win over Storm Bulletin staff report Esme Rhine scored 12 points and Kenzi Boehme and Mekayla Isaak added 10 points apiece to lead Bend High to a 41-31 girls basketball victory over Summit on Thursday morning in the consolation round of the Summit Holiday Tournament in Bend.

Tournament officials tried to pair the two teams with nonleague opponents in Thursday’s consolation round — Bend High and Summit will play three times in Intermountain Conference play this season — but it did not work for other teams at the tournament, Lava Bear coach Todd Ervin said. Instead, the two Bend schools got an early look at one another before IMC play begins next week.

“We didn’t do anything different,” Ervin said about playing a league opponent in a nonleague setting. “The biggest difference was playing at 8 a.m.”

Karleigh Phillips recorded 13 points to lead the Storm, and Raja Char added nine. Summit, which fell to 6-5 with the defeat, struggled offensively during its own tournament, averaging just 32.3 points per game during the three-day event.

For the Lava Bears (9-2), the victory was their fifth in six games.

Both teams are back on the court next week.

Bend High plays at Crook County on Tuesday while Summit is off until a road game against the Lava Bears on Friday, Jan. 7.

Sharks rebound late for victory over Blackhawks The Associated Press CHICAGO — The San Jose Sharks rebounded after blowing yet another lead.

Joe Thornton broke a tie on a deflection at 7:13 of the third period and San Jose beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Thursday night to snap a two-game losing streak.

Thornton, parked in front of the crease, redirected Marc-Edouard Vlasic’s shot from the left point past Marty Turco 7 seconds after a San Jose power-play ended.

The goal restored the Sharks’ lead at 4-3. They had lost a 3-1 advantage in the final minute of the second period when Chicago’s Troy Brouwer and Brian Campbell scored 22 seconds apart.

San Jose bounced back and played solidly in the third, however.

“We were pretty positive,” Thornton said. “It’s a 3-3 game. We’re in Chica-

go with 20 minutes to win the game.

“It was pretty upbeat (in the dressing room) and I think that’s probably why we won this game.”

Ryane Clowe’s empty-net goal with 48 seconds left sealed the victory.

San Jose lost 5-3 in Minnesota on Wednesday night despite leading 3-2 after two periods. On Thursday, the Sharks avoided a repeat outcome.

“I think we all left the bench extremely frustrated (after the second period),” San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. “We couldn’t enter the third playing that way, so we talked about it.

“We mentioned the players were getting tested for whatever reason. We needed to man up and get out there and try to find a way to overcome it.”

Scott Nichol, Benn Ferriero and Dany Heatley also scored for the Sharks.

San Jose goalie Antti Niemi made 26 saves in his first appearance at the

NHL ROUNDUP United Center since backstopping the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup last spring. He improved to 3-0 against his former club, and the Sharks won their third straight against Chicago, which had swept them from the Western Conference finals last spring.

“Whether it’s revenge or not, this is a good team and we know each and every time we have to play our top game to beat them,” Heatley said. “We were prepared tonight.

Patrick Sharp also scored for Chicago, which lost its second straight despite the quick second-period comeback.

“It was an OK game, but it’s disappointing,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “Our recent losses, the third period we’re tied and we’re

looking like we’re getting something out of the game and we come up with air.

“If we want to become a playoff team and a better team, these are the points we have to have.”

Turco made his third straight start, stopping 20 shots.

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews sat out his first game because of a right shoulder injury, sustained in a 3-1 loss at St. Louis on Tuesday night. He’s expected to miss at least two weeks.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

S B

Basketball • UConn’s win streak ends at 90 in loss to Stanford: Top-ranked Connecticut’s record 90game winning streak is over. The Huskies never led and were beaten by No. 9 Stanford 71-59 Thursday night, ending a run that drew national attention to women’s basketball. Stanford was the last school to beat the Huskies, in the 2008 NCAA semifinals. Jeanette Pohlen hit five 3pointers on the way to a career-high 31 points and the Cardinal (9-2) had the Huskies’ number at last — a huge number at that.

• Calf injury could keep Garnett out 2 weeks: Celtics star Kevin Garnett could miss two weeks with a strained right calf. General manager Danny Ainge said an MRI and a thorough examination showed Garnett’s injury Wednesday night had nothing to do with his right knee, which was surgically repaired after the 2008-09 season. Garnett was injured when he jumped for a dunk with 2:38 left in the first quarter of a 104-92 loss at the Detroit Pistons. The forward, who is averaging 15.4 points and 9.8 rebounds, limped down the court before leaving the game.

• Son of Ex-NBA player Van Exel charged with murder: Police have charged the 20-year-old son of former NBA player Nick Van Exel with capital murder. Nickey Maxwell Van Exel was arrested Wednesday night and jailed on $1 million bond for the murder of Bradley Bassey Eyo. Police say the 23-year-old victim was shot Sunday at a residence in the Dallas suburb of Garland and that the body was moved to Lake Ray Hubbard.

The younger Van Exel’s attorney says his client told police he killed Eyo, a close friend, when a shotgun they were playing with accidently went off and later “panicked” and moved the body.

Football • NFL fines Jets $100,000 in Alosi tripping incident: The NFL has fined the New York Jets $100,000 for violating league rules when assistant coach Sal Alosi tripped Miami’s Nolan Carroll on the sideline during a punt return. The Jets were fined Thursday because Alosi placed players in a prohibited area on the sideline to impede opposing team’s special teams players and gain a competitive advantage. The NFL called it a competitive violation as well as a dangerous tactic. Alosi and special teams coach Mike Westhoff also have been cited for public comments accusing other teams of employing similar tactics.

Beavers roll in Pac-10 opener The Associated Press CORVALLIS — Oregon State got an important win, but coach Craig Robinson is keeping it in perspective.

Joe Burton had a career-high 17 points and nine rebounds to lead Oregon State to an 80-58 victory over Arizona State on Thursday night in the Pac-10 opener for both teams.

Jared Cunningham added 16 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Beavers (6-6), who began conference play with a win for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

“It’s big to win the first game. It’s big to beat a good program like Arizona State,” Robinson said. “But it’s only one game. This league is relentless. Each week, it’s coming at you.”

Ty Abbott had 18 points, all in the first half, for Arizona State (7-5), whose four-game winning streak ended.

Burton, averaging 7.5 points entering Thursday’s game, had 13 combined points in the Beavers’ previous three contests.

“It makes the game so much easier,” Oregon State’s Ahmad Starks said of Burton’s play. “If he’s scoring down low and making plays, everybody else is going to be open. He did a good job scoring and passing the ball. It was great.”

Burton’s two free throws with 8:08 remaining gave Oregon State a 64-51 cushion and were part of a 12-3 run that put the game out of reach.

Arizona State guard Trent Lockett, the Sun Devils’ leading scorer at 14.7 points per game, did not play due to a sprained left big toe.

Oregon State shot 32 of 60 (53.3 percent) from the floor, and Arizona State was 20 of 52 (38.5 percent).

The Beavers had a 43-26 rebounding edge.

Robinson said he wasn’t ready

Steve Dykes / The Associated Press

Oregon State guard Roberto Nelson (55) grabs a rebound in front of Arizona State forward Kyle Cain (5) in the first half of the game at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis on Thursday. to call Thursday’s win a breakout performance.

“I’m reluctant to say that until I see us do it more,” he said. “We’ve had two good games in a row. Can we do three good games? It feels like it. It really does.”

Abbott scored 16 points — and made four 3-pointers — in the first 14 minutes to help the Sun Devils to a 23-19 lead. He made seven of 11 shots from the floor in the first half.

Oregon State scored the final eight points of the half, five by Roberto Nelson, to go ahead 34-30 at intermission.

The 74year-old Killebrew released a statement through the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, saying he expects to make a full recovery from the “very serious” condition. Killebrew hit 573 home runs and made 11 All-Star appearances during his 22-year career spent mostly with the Washington Senators and Twins. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984 and was fifth on the career home run list when he retired in 1975 after one season with the Kansas City Royals.

Seattle reports for spring training in the middle of February.

• Little League bans composite bats in all divisions: Composite bats will no longer be used in the Little League World Series. Little League officials announced a moratorium on the equipment Thursday based on research it commissioned from the University of Massachusetts in Lowell.

Composite bats have metal shells enclosing woven fibers inside the barrels. Critics say the bats endanger youngsters because balls fly off them at high speeds and can injure fielders. Supporters say they are lighter and easier to handle.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers are determined to stay upbeat despite Brandon Roy’s serious knee problems.

Wesley Matthews tied a career high with 30 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 27 and the Blazers beat the Utah Jazz 100-89 on Thursday night, hours after learning that their star guard will be sidelined for a lengthy period because of sore knees.

“We ain’t going to worry about it,” Andre Miller said. “We just got to keep trucking. When (Roy’s) out there, he’s out there and when he is not, he’s not. We just go to keep playing.”

The Blazers said before the game that Roy would be shut down indefinitely because of sore knees that have plagued him throughout the season. The All-Star has missed 10 games this season, including the last seven. The Blazers didn’t put a timeline on Roy’s absence, but general manager Rich Cho suggested it could be lengthy and coach Nate McMillan said it was possible Roy would be out the rest of the season.

Matthews, lured away from Utah over the summer with a five-year, $34 million deal, has flourished as Roy’s replacement in the starting lineup. The second-year guard from Marquette entered the game averaging 15.4 points and has led the team in scoring in 11 games.

“We felt he was a good player when we picked him up in free agency,” McMillan said. “His role coming in was basically to come off the bench.

With extended minutes, he has been good at the 2 and the 3 position. Tonight, we’re missing Brandon, and anytime you are missing guys, it is an opportunity for someone else.”

Marcus Camby returned after missing three of Portland’s last five games because of an ankle injury, leading Portland with a season-high 20 rebounds. Andre Miller added 16 points and 10 assists.

Deron Williams had 19 points and eight assists for Utah, Paul Millsap added 17 points and Al Jefferson had 13 points and 10 rebounds. The Jazz lost to Portland for the second time this week.

Utah cut it to 85-78 with 6:44 remaining after Jeremy Evans hit a running hook shot. But Portland went on a 6-0 run with Aldridge scoring down low and Miller knocking down a turnaround jumper to push the lead to double digits and end the threat.

The Jazz were coming off a road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

Utah entered the game 6-2 when playing for the second straight night, but the Jazz started slowly against Portland.

“It was poor effort, all the way around,” guard Raja Bell said. “You can talk it up all you want, but I thought we have to be tougher than that.

That’s just my personal opinion.”

The Jazz are also banged up. Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko sat out with back injuries

Seattle prepping Whitehurst to start vs. Rams

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Locker leads Huskies to 19-7 win over Cornhuskers

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Jake Locker bounced back from an injury and scored on a 25-yard run in the third quarter, and tailback Chris Polk ran for 177 yards and a score to help the Washington Huskies to a 19-7 win over the listless No. 17 Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday night.

The Huskies (7-6) avenged a 56-21 loss to the Huskers (10-4) in Seattle on Sept. 18. The Cornhuskers piled up 533 yards of total offense in that game, including 383 rushing.

While Washington was a winner in its first bowl game since 2002, the Huskers came out flat in their second straight Holiday Bowl appearance. They were manhandled on both sides of the line and imploded under 12 penalties for 102 yards.

Washington outgained Nebraska 340 yards to 189, including 268 to 91 rushing.

Locker, who passed up the NFL draft last spring to return for his senior season, capped the opening drive of the second half with a 25-yard scoring run to give UW a 17-7 lead. He faked a handoff and then ran right, bouncing off a defender and staying on his feet to score. Locker ran 13 times for 83 yards.

Locker was shaken up in the second quarter when he scrambled, slid headfirst and was hit helmet-to-helmet by Nebraska safety Austin Cassidy. Locker was on the ground for a few minutes before walking off on his own power. Locker returned for the next series after safety Nate Fellner intercepted Taylor Martinez’s pass.

Martinez limped off the field in the third quarter. He was replaced by Cody Green, who had a nice scramble deep in his own territory. But guard Ricky Henry was called for holding in the end zone for a safety, giving Washington a 19-7 lead.

Nebraska played as bad a first half as possible and trailed just 10-7 at halftime. The Huskers fumbled twice on the game’s opening drive, and Washington turned the turnover into a touchdown when Polk scored on a three-yard run. The Huskies made it 10-0 on Erik Folk’s 39-yard field goal.

Barth kicked a 39-yard field goal after officials reviewed what had been the final play of the game and decided to penalize the Tar Heels (8-5) for having “more than 11 men” on the field.

The Big Ten officiating crew also announced T.J. Yates had spiked the ball with 1 second left. That allowed Barth to run out and kick the field goal that tied it at 20. Tennessee (6-7) was stunned at the sudden switch that cost the Vols an apparent bowl victory to cap Derek Dooley’s first season.

Tyler Bray threw a 25-yard TD in the first overtime, but Quan Sturdivant picked him off to end the Vols’ last chance in the second OT.

Adrian Hilburn slipped a tackle and raced to a 30-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining to pull Kansas State within two. Hilburn saluted the crowd behind the visitor’s dugout and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, which pushed the 2-point conversion attempt back to the 17-yard line. Carson Coffman overthrew Aubrey Quarles in the end zone, and when Kansas State (7-6) couldn’t come up with the onside kick, Syracuse (8-5) only had to take a knee to win a bowl game for the first time since 2001.

Tampa Bay running back LeGarrette Blount (27), scoring here against Detroit on Dec. 19 in Tampa, Fla., has 941 yards rushing this season heading into Sunday’s season finale against New Orleans.

Bucs’ Blount closes in on 1,000-yard season NFL

By Fred Goodall The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — The NFL’s rookie rushing leader is an undrafted free agent with a penchant for hurdling defenders in the open field.

Tampa Bay’s LeGarrette Blount still may be best known for punching an opposing player when he was in college, however he’s well on his way now to making a name for himself as the tough, physical runner the Buccaneers have needed for years.

Despite joining the team only a few days before the season opener and not making his first pro start until Week 11, Blount heads into this week’s finale against New Orleans with a chance to top 1,000 yards rushing.

The 6-foot, 247-pound running back had the fourth 100-yard game of his career last week and enters Sunday’s game with 941 yards and six touchdowns.

“I feel really good about it,” Blount said of the surprising success he’s had since missing most of his senior season at Oregon after being suspended for punching Boise State’s Byron Hout following a loss in the Ducks’ 2009 season opener.

“A lot happened this season ... that gave me an opportunity to be able to play,” said Blount, who signed with the Bucs on Sept. 6 after spending training camp and the entire preseason with the Titans.

“Leaving Tennessee also gave me an opportunity to play here,” the 24-year-old added, “so I was blessed with an opportunity to even get snaps as a rookie.”

Tampa Bay’s inability to run the ball consistently with Cadillac Williams in a featured role, as well as a season-ending injury to backup Kareem Huggins cre-

ated an opening for Blount to get on the field sooner than the Bucs anticipated.

Initially hesitant to use the rookie because of his unfamiliarity with pass protection blocking schemes, Blount’s bruising running style, a propensity to break tackles and his uncanny knack for leaping over defenders made it difficult to keep him off the field.

The rookie rushed for a careerbest 164 yards, including a burst of 48 yards in which he stunningly hurdled Lawyer Milloy about 15 yards downfield, cut to his right and headed up the sideline to set up one of Josh Freeman’s five touchdown passes in a 38-15 rout of the Seattle Seahawks.

Blount also had a 53-yard run on the way to Tampa Bay’s biggest single-game rushing performance in 10 years.

“Every week it seems like you get one of those wow-factor runs with him,” offensive coordinator Greg Olson said. “Certainly the leap (last Sunday) was impressive, about as impressive as you’re going to see from a back that size. To leap over the top of the defender ... to go over Lawyer Milloy like that, and then put your foot in the ground and accelerate was pretty impressive.

He’s fun to watch.”

Blount has also had highlightreel runs in which he’s hurdled over Arizona’s Kerry Rhodes and San Francsico’s Reggie Smith in the open field. He leaped over Carolina’s Chris Gamble inside the Panthers 10, spun in the air when the safety hit him and somehow managed to land with the ball extended over the goal line for a touchdown.

Football Continued from D1 Most schools’ figures were for the fiscal year that ended June 30.

Broken down on a per-student basis, the Irish spend the most, the database says. Their trip to the Sun Bowl is coming at a price of $3,531 for each of Notre Dame’s 8,351 undergraduates — an overall budget of $29.4 million — while TCU spends $2,822 per student to run its Rose Bowl-bound football program.

For all the money they fork out, at least the TCUs and LSUs of the world are going somewhere this season.

Texas, last year’s national runnerup, spent $25.1 million and is sitting home for New Year’s after going 5-7.

Boise State, meanwhile, looks like a bargain. The underdog Broncos stayed in contention for the national title all year with a program that spends a fraction of what the big boys do. The tab: $6.85 million for an average of $564 a student for a program that ended up winning the MAACO Bowl this year.

While football also brings in millions, the spending on the sport has given plenty of ammunition to critics of big-time college sports.

“It’s a sad commentary given the general conditions out there: 10 percent unemployment, economic stagnation,” said Tom Palaima, the University of Texas’ representative on the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics, a group that believes spending on sports has gotten out of hand.

“You look at $1,500 per capita (at Auburn), that’s a large outlay. I just don’t

He’s at a loss for words for explaining his style, which is a carryover from his days at Oregon, where the native of Madison, Fla., played two seasons after spending two years at East Mississippi Community College.

“Somebody told me that ESPN gave me the No. 1 play of the week. I haven’t seen it yet. They told me they called me hurtling Blount or something,” he said.

“I’ve heard a whole bunch of different things. ‘Do you plan to do it going into every game?’

I was like, ‘I don’t plan to do it ever.’ It’s kind of a reaction. It’s just instinct when I do it. I’m just happy that I’m able to provide fans with entertainment.”

With 59 yards against the Saints, Blount would become Tampa Bay’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Williams gained 1,178 as a rookie in 2005.

Unlike Blount, who was undrafted primarily because of the punch that shortened his final season at Oregon, Williams was a first-round draft pick, No. 5 overall.

The rookie said he doesn’t have any bad feelings about being passed over in the draft by every team, including Tampa Bay. Nor, he added, is out to prove anybody underestimated him or his ability.

“I run hard just to let everybody know I still love the game no matter if I’m drafted or not.

Just to let everybody know that I’m going to come out here and have fun no matter who’s team I’m on,” he said.

“It’s not that I’m running angry. ... I’m not running with a chip on my shoulder. I’m just happy I got the opportunity, and I’m going to try to make the best of it.”

see how it can be justified given that most of the revenues will still end up on the sports side of the ledger.”

Indeed, the common refrain among many successful football programs is that they are self-sustaining. In fact, all but three of the bowl-bound programs reported operating at even or in the black.

In most cases, that allows the football programs — most commonly the biggest money makers in athletic programs — to support all the other sports, which in many cases operate at a loss. In cases where there’s more money left over, some of that is often given to the university, which can use it wherever the need is greatest.

The Texas athletic program boasts that it sends back an average of around $1.5 million a year to the school. Its football program netted a whopping $68 million in the 12month period ending Aug. 31.

At Florida, football spent $24.4 million and brought in $68.7 million for a net profit of $44.2 million. The program will give $6 million to the university in the 2010-11 fiscal year to bring the total to $61.1 million since 1990.

“At this place, your main revenue source is football, so you’re going to spend money necessary to sustain a successful football program,” Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said.

“If we go from playing in front of 90,000 people to playing in front of 60,000 people, you’re talking about cutting sports, scholarships, personnel, and nobody wants to see that happen.”

But Foley said the benefits of a successful sports program go beyond

RENTON, Wash. — Well, at least Seattle’s Charlie Whitehurst isn’t getting peppered with questions about making his first NFL start.

Now it’s all about his second start — with a division title on the line.

“That’s the only thing positive that came out of that game,” Whitehurst joked.

With questions lingering about Matt Hasselbeck’s health, Whitehurst is prepping to make the second start of his career Sunday night when Seattle hosts St. Louis with the NFC West title at stake.

But it’s not as simple as Whitehurst starting and Hasselbeck sitting. Coach Pete Carroll, offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates and seemingly Next up everyone else is refusing to • St. Louis close the book on Hasselbeck Rams at being out for the division deSeattle ciding matchup.

Seahawks Hasselbeck strained his hip in the first quarter last • W h en: week against Tampa Bay. Sunday, From the start, Carroll said 5:15 p.m. he’s preparing as though • TV: NBC Hasselbeck won’t be available against the Rams and • Radio: that Whitehurst will be the KBNW-FM one asked to lead Seattle to 96.5 its first division title since 2007.

For his part, Whitehurst said he’s not worrying about Hasselbeck’s status.

“It’s not in my mind. If it happens, it happens,” Whitehurst said. “I’m prepared to play and start and you do what the coach says, but I’m ready to start.”

But will he? Hasselbeck hasn’t participated in practice Wednesday or Thursday. Carroll indicated the decision on Hasselbeck’s hip might not be made until Saturday or early Sunday.

“Matt is getting healthy — he’s moving around better every day,” Bates said. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens on game time.”

Based on track record, Hasselbeck would clearly be the better choice in essentially a playin game. He’s got nine career playoff starts, versus Whitehurst who has just one career start — and a mess of a start at that.

Whitehurst’s first start came in Week 9 against the New York Giants, a 41-7 blowout loss where Whitehurst went 12 of 23 for 113 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. He’s played three times since, all in some sort of mop-up or injury replacement duty.

Whitehurst replaced Hasselbeck two weeks ago against Atlanta and played well, scoring on a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter that prompted chants of “Charlie” from the fans who remained. But he followed that up with an unimpressive 11 for 18 for 66 yards in three quarters last week against Tampa Bay after Hasselbeck was injured.

Whitehurst missed on his first four throws and never got Seattle’s offense going.

“The first bubble pass he threw kind of sprayed it against Tampa, and things didn’t happen for him,” Bates said. “Then we went three-and-out, three-and-out, and it’s a game of momentum, and we never got it.”

Whitehurst has remained a mystery for many Seattle fans. He was brought in from San Diego to push Hasselbeck for the starting job, but never truly threatened the veteran. Yet a large segment of Seattle’s fans remain in his corner, despite a lack of opportunities.

The ultimate opportunity may come Sunday night and with a postseason berth at stake.

“He looked excited, you kind of feel him,” Seattle receiver Mike Williams said. “You can kind of sense he’s ready to take this challenge on and take advantage of this stage and opportunity.”

merely money. Sports help spread the word about the University of Florida, which has grown in stature nationwide over the past two decades — a timeframe that coincides with the arrival of Steve Spurrier as coach and the rise of a once-troubled football program. (Not coincidentally, it’s also when the athletic program started giving money to the school.)

“Athletics is a big window,” Foley said. “It provides a look into the institution. If someone’s viewing the University of Florida and looking at a great athletic program, it enhances the way people view the institution and that’s all good.”

Critics, meanwhile, respond that big-time college football programs wouldn’t have anywhere near the drawing power — and would be little more than money-losing minorleague teams — without the name recognition and fan base the universities and their alumni provide.

Not surprisingly, teams from the automatic-bid BCS conferences spend the most on football, with the Southeastern Conference, which has the best TV deal, leading the way. Six of the 10 highest overall spenders on the list were from the SEC. Presumably, football programs around the country should have roughly the same list of expenses: 85 scholarships, weight rooms and training tables, travel budgets and coaches’ salaries. The gap between the most expensive and least was a big one, however — more than $25 million — and there’s no doubt you will see a difference between the weight rooms at Troy and those at Ohio State.

“If you need a nice weight room to attract a top athlete, you’re going to do that, but you need that weight room to help that athlete get better, too,” Foley said. “If you have to spend money to pay a coach like Urban Meyer, you’re going to do that, too.

You’ve got to spend money to make money. It doesn’t just happen.”

Oregon professor Nathan Tublitz, the former co-chair at Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics, said the calculation he favors divides the amount spent on any given sport by the number of players in that sport. At Oregon, he lumped them all together and found the athletic program has a $75 million annual budget and 500 scholarship students, for an average of about $150,000 per athlete per year. Meantime, the average cost of education for an in-state student runs about $20,000 per year.

That says something about the priorities at an institution that’s supposed to be more about learning and research than touchdowns and wild uniforms, Tublitz believes.

He’s glad for the success Oregon’s football team is enjoying this season, but wonders if this kind of money should be spent on what is essentially entertainment, especially in a bad economy.

“There is no justification for spending over $150,000 per football player per year when the rest of the student body is struggling to register for classes and to pay for books, tuition and living expenses,” he said. “There is a delicate equilibrium between academics and athletics, and our university, like most other big time athletic universities, have lost that balance.”

WRESTLING Cowboys claim title in Pendleton PENDLETON — Crook County won the Freeberry Classic, earning three individual titles en route to topping runner-up McLoughlin of Milton-Freewater by 26 points.

Culver finished third in the one-day event, beating several Class 4A and 5A teams. Crook County’s Erik Martin pinned Culver’s Noe Gonzalez in the 103-pound championship match and Trevor Wilson won for Crook County at 152 pounds by beating Anthony Constantine from Baker in his

bracket final. The Cowboys’ Bryson Martin also claimed an individual championship, winning the 189pound title with an overtime victory in the final.

Crook County placed 12 of its 14 wrestlers in the event.

The Bulldogs, who were competing against mostly larger schools, ended the day by placing 12 wrestlers, including one champion and three runners-up.

“We don’t get into that big school, small school stuff too much,” Culver coach J.D. Alley said regarding his four-time defending Class 2A/1A state championship squad.

Jesus Retano went undefeated to win a title at 145 pounds for the Bulldogs, with Gonzalez, Ryan Kasch (125) and Justin Hendrix (215) all falling in their respective finals.

Hendrix lost to Madras’ Travis Williams, who won the first of two individual titles for the White Buffaloes. Madras senior Adrian Phillips took the heavyweight crown by pinning all four of his opponents. The White Buffaloes placed four wrestlers and finished in seventh place out of 13 teams.

Lava Bears end Northwest Duals with three wins PORTLAND — Bend High won three of four dual matches on the final day of the Northwest Duals. The two-day, 41-team wrestling tournament concluded Thursday at Westview High School. The Lava Bears, who won one of their four Wednesday matches, came back Thursday to defeat Clackamas (44-27), Lakeridge (51-12) and Oregon City (42-32). Bend’s lone loss of the day was to Hood River Valley (48-25).

Three Bend wrestlers posted perfect second-day records, including 215-pounder Shane Buck, whose four victories were all by fall. Willy Abt (160 pounds) and Kenny Dailey (189) also were 4-0 for the Lava Bears on Thursday. Bend’s Noah Haines (112), Isaac Simar (145) and Gavin Gerdes (171) all were 3-1.

“I think our kids continued to improve and get better all the time,” said Bend coach Luke Larwin.

“That’s the best a coach can ask for at this point in the season.”

Next up for the Lava Bears is their own tournament, the Bend Invitational, on Jan. 8.

Mountain View’s David Larson (23) attempts a shot over several Phoenix High School defenders during the first quarter of the Summit Holiday Tournament championship game Thursday night at Summit High School in Bend.

Cougars Continued from D1 Phoenix (6-3), which entered the game on a three-game winning streak, led for most of the contest, and was ahead 51-44 with less than a minute left in the third quarter.

Mountain View (6-3) rallied, though, going on a 16-8 run before the Cougars took their first lead of the second half, 60-59, when Larson hit a free throw with 2:00 left in the fourth quarter.

Phoenix scored twice to go ahead 63-60, but James Harper hit a three-pointer with 1:05 left on the clock to tie the game 63-63 and send it into overtime. Harper’s heroics continued in the extra period when he scored a layup off an in-bounds play from underneath the Cougars’ own basket, giving Mountain View a 67-66 lead with 2.7 seconds left in the game.

Phoenix’s desperation shot from across halfcourt had no chance, and Mountain View claimed its third consecutive Summit Holiday Tournament title.

“It’s just kind of clicked,” Harper said about taking a more assertive role on offense the last two games. In Wednesday’s win against Bend High he scored a careerhigh 25 points.

“With teams focusing on James (Reid), I’m getting some open looks,” he added.

Pirate junior point guard Alex Young led all scorers with 27 points, 24 of which came in the first three quarters. Young had just three points in the fourth quarter and did not even attempt a shot in overtime.

“Defensively we did a good job making sure some other guys took shots,” said Craig Reid, whose 2-3 zone frustrated the Pirates, especially late in the game. “I thought we did a good job containing their two top guys.”

While Reid, Modin and Bosch did most of their scoring in the second half, Larson carried Mountain View early. The 6-foot6-inch sophomore post kept the Cougars in the game in the first half, scoring 10 of his 14 points before the break.

Riding a three-game winning streak since losing to Crook County 67-63 on Dec. 21, Mountain View resumes Intermountain Hybrid play on Tuesday with a home game against Redmond and starts Class 5A Intermountain Conference play Friday, Jan. 11, with a road matchup at Summit.

“We’ve got the same four teams for the next seven weeks,” Craig Reid said referring to fellow Intermountain Hybrid members Redmond, Crook County, Summit and Bend High. “It’s going to be a fist fight.”

Maryland tracks, Preakness cope in troubled times

By David Ginsburg The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The sport of kings has been reduced to pauper status in Maryland, where live racing was on the verge of collapse before receiving temporary resuscitation.

Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course, home of the prestigious Preakness Stakes, were ready to shut down before Gov. Martin O’Malley orchestrated a deal last week that includes state bailout money and a contribution of $1.7 million from breeders and horse owners.

The deal assured that there will be 146 days of live racing in 2011.

The long-term future of the sport in Maryland, however, remains as uncertain as a trifecta bet that includes a pair of long shots.

“The truth of the matter is we have a lot of work to do and we don’t have a lot of time to do it,” said Tom Chuckas, president of the Maryland Jockey Club.

“I don’t think any of the parties want to be in this situation a year from now.

The next four of five months are going to be instrumental in trying to craft a strategy and a game plan to move forward after 2011.”

Any plan will have to include the major players overcoming differences and agreeing on how to manage tracks, finding new revenue streams and making racing more appealing to fans

Nick Wass / The Associated Press

A crowd waits in line to place bets before the 135th Preakness horse race at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on May 15, 2010. An aide to Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and horse racing representatives say a tentative agreement has been reached to allow a full calendar of 146 racing days and keep the Preakness Stakes in the state. year-round.

On Preakness Day, Pimlico is usually packed with nearly 100,000 fans.

Women wear festive hats, the betting windows have long lines and each race

offers a variety of choices.

On virtually every other day of the year, no more than a dozen people line up along the rail to watch the horses run, and most of those races are unap-

pealing to avid betters.

“When they bring the horses into the paddock and it’s a five-horse race with a 3-5 favorite, it kind of takes the appeal away from trying to bet the race,” Maryland-based trainer Mike Trombetta said.

The deal struck last week was designed to enhance the purses, which could help fill out the field and make betting more attractive. But Maryland tracks are still operating as a disadvantage to those in outlying states such as West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware, all of which have onsite slot machines.

Laurel Park failed to receive a slot machine license when its previous owner, Magna Entertainment Corp., was going through bankruptcy proceedings and failed to put up the $28.5 million application fee. As a result, another corporation landed a license to install slots next to a shopping mall about 10 miles away from the track.

“Anywhere you look around the country, where they have placed casinos at racetracks, they’re thriving,” said Alan Foreman, a lawyer for the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association. “We all agree on that.

Maryland’s law is flawed in that respect, which puts racing at a disadvantage competitively.”

The demise of horse racing isn’t just a problem in Maryland, but it’s more

striking because Laurel and Pimlico can’t offer its patrons the option of pulling the arm of a slot machine.

“Racing across the country has had a difficult time the past couple of years.

Do I think racing is dead? No. I just think the race tracks and management has to reinvent itself,” Chuckas said.

“What we have to have is what I call multifaceted modern entertainment.

The days of racing being all you do is pretty much over.

“Racing is obviously the cornerstone and the key, but we have to create programs that not only maintain our current customers but create new ones. And the new ones have to be of a younger demographic, somewhere in the 25-40 range.”

Maryland trainer Dale Capuano believes the tracks should greet newcomers and teach the finer points of handicapping and placing a bet.

“Management needs to do a better job of marketing and selling their product,” he said. “They’ve done a horrible job. They need to change their attitude.

Even if they don’t have slots, they can do other things to generate interest in the place.”

Clearly, something’s got to be done.

“The track still needs to develop a strategy so that there’s money for the bottom line to enable us to be here for the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years,” Chuckas said.

Geocaching grows in popularity The evolution of hand-held GPS units has spawned a legion of modern-day treasure hunters lured not by riches, but to the thrill of the hunt.

Geocaching, a game of hide it and seek it, has about 5 million fans around the world. They combine technology with outdoor adventure by posting or receiving clues on the Internet and heading out in terrain that ranges from inner city to wilderness.

“That’s the beauty of it,” said Lisa Breitenfeldt, an Inland Northwest geocaching guru and entrepreneur. “You can look for caches that might be on a corner down the street or one that takes days of hiking to reach. If you’re going to Europe, you can load coordinates before you leave to search out caches in, say, Paris.

“The thrill is finding a hidden cache that no one else knows about except you and other geocachers, even though thousands of other people might go right past it.”

Breitenfeldt started geocaching in 2002 for recreational relief as she pursued a master’s of technology management degree from Washington State University.

Her fascination with seeking caches soon developed into a business pursuit as she saw the demand for basic geocaching gear. In 2005, she launched Cache Advance with her first product: the Newbie Kit of basic items one needs to begin geocaching once they have their GPS unit.

Her Spokane, Wash.-based company, specializing in all things geocaching, has expanded its line to more than 200 products.

Her “cache cave” basement is like a toy-store warehouse with bins of gear and gadgets, such as a cache that looks like a bolt. “It has a hidden compartment and a magnet so it can be attached under a bridge railing or blend in at an industrial place,” she said.

Another cache looks like a rock.

She also sells the Geomate Jr. — a small easyto-use, $70, geocaching-specific GPS unit, manufactured in Spokane by Servatron, Inc., also based in Spokane.

Not designed for navigating, the Geomate Jr. has a large database that holds up to 250,000 geocache locations. It will indicate caches closest to your location as well the difficulty, terrain rating and size of the cache container.

(Virtually all of the new and pricier GPS units useful to outdoorsmen, such as those made

by Garmin and DeLorme, also have special geocaching modes.)

But the Newbie Kit — with waterproof notepads, pens, decryption keys, caches, trackable tags and more — is still her best seller. “I have trouble keeping them in stock,” she said.

Much of her business involves wholesaling through geocaching.com as well as retailing by Internet at amazon.com and around the world with her own Cache Advance site at cache-advance. com.

She also teaches geocaching and schedules visits to the Cache Cave by appointment.

Rich Landers / The Spokesman-Review

Mark Beattie of Mountain Gear in Spokane, Wash., says it takes practice with a new GPS unit to navigate efficiently through the woods.

G P S Continued from D1 Most serious users are going to spend $180 to $500 for hand-held units with maps, display and features they’ll need in the field.

The typical new GPS user considers a GPS unit an adventure in itself.

Beattie had several teaching methods that help people get started.

First, he said, experiment with the unit in a park or close to home before heading out cross-country through the wilderness.

“I’m not a tech geek by any means,” said Beattie, as he tested a new Garmin Oregon earlier this year. Knowing how to operate one type of unit is no guarantee that you’ll immediately be able to operate another model efficiently, he said.

But after viewing online video instructions or reading the manual — a novel approach — and some trial and error, he soon began logging tracks and navigating to waypoints with ease.

John Higgins, a product expert and GPS guru at REI in Salt Lake City, also emphasizes trial-and-error practice before you really need it. In a story that appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune, he recalled testing a new unit in familiar backcountry. He tried to locate a waypoint which he knew from reading a map was only 2 miles away. The GPS was telling him the spot was 80 miles away.

He eventually realized the unit was on a “route by road” selection and not direct to point.

“We get a number of people who want to return them because they think the unit is inaccurate,” Higgins said. “It usually turns out to be a menu setting that is not appropriately

entered, and it just takes a second to correct.”

Batteries are among the biggest pitfalls of relying on GPS devices. People who use vehicle-mounted GPS navigation sometimes forget their hand-held device is likely to run out of juice in a day.

I was pretty smug heading out for two days of trail research with fresh batteries and two spare pairs of rechargeable batteries. The second day out I learned that the spare batteries I’d recharged two weeks earlier had lost ALL of their charge.

As GPS technology has leveled off, manufacturers are creating more options to help distinguish their devices from the crowd.

Cameras, phones, touch screens and MP3 players are appealing to some users, but the extras have a thirst for power that reduces battery life.

Beattie says users should explore the battery-saving options found on most new units, including shorter screen illumination times and automatic power-down.

The two most common points of advice experts have for GPS users: • Carry a map for the area you’re exploring as a cross-reference and a backup to your GPS device.

“Knowing how to use a standard map and compass is an important part of your risk-playing and activity management,” Higgins said. “People think paper maps are obsolete, but a GPS can do nothing for you if it is dead. A paper map won’t just stop working like a GPS can.”

• Don’t forget to look around and take note of landmarks — and the scenery.

“I don’t live my life through technology,” Beattie said. “My cell phone is eight years old. GPS units are useful tools. But people can miss a lot of the outdoor experience and even get hurt if they’re focused on a GPS screen.”

Polar Bear Plunge You don’t have to jump into the icy outdoor pool in Sunriver to enjoy this event. It is fun just to watch those daring enough to make the leap. The event Saturday is free and hot chocolate will be served.

• Start small. Don’t expect to change everything all at once. Pick one or two goals, work on those until they become routine and then try to add on more changes. This is the general advice offered by Marla Cilley, founder of the Fly Lady website (www.flylady. net), which is dedicated to helping women get organized and has more than 750,000 followers. “I don’t like to pile on when first getting started.”

People are taking a huge step by starting something, but it’s a baby step.

•Be specific about change. Saying “I will get organized” is so broad and seems impossible, says Cilley. She encourages people to start with concrete goals.

• Don’t give up and don’t expect perfection. Cilley encourages people not to throw in the towel when they end up skipping a day. “Just bless yourself and jump back in.”

any parents would like to feel less stressed, less harried and less, well, naggy in the coming year. We asked experts for tips to help parents deal with some of the challenges that cause the biggest headaches in daily life: smoothing out the morning routine, getting more sleep and taming dinnertime chaos.

Mother feels loss, unraveled over Boynton books bring little one’s kindergarten milestone energy, fun to reading

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

Since the oldest of my three children started kindergarten this year, I have become increasingly attached to her, as if I took for granted the past five years I’ve had at home with her. The rational side of me knows I need to allow her to be independent of me, make mistakes, and so on, but the irrational side feels almost literally sick when she comes home talking (in my opinion, prematurely) about boys, clothes, and the like. I don’t want to be a parent who ends up with a 30-year-old “kid” still living at home, but I also want my kids to remain close to me. What is wrong with me and how can I change?

Oh me. There’s nothing wrong with you at all. You’re simply overanalyzing your feelings, something mothers are wont to

A:

do when it comes to their kids. In your case, that’s compounded by the fact that it’s generally much more difficult for moms to let go of their children than it is for dads.

The feelings you’re experiencing are normal to parenting transitions of this sort; again, especially for moms. When your daughter began school, the fact that she won’t be a child forever became crystal clear. As a consequence, you began to experience a sense of profound loss, exacerbated by your daughter’s talk about things you associate with an older age. It’s as if her life has suddenly accelerated, and you can’t keep up.

My wife experienced very similar feelings when our first child went off to college. She was truly “thrown for a loop” and began going through what I quickly recognized was a grieving process.

Kid Culture features fun and educational books and toys for kids.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Sandra Boynton. I love her board books for babies, her picture books, her music and her artwork. She’s always made me smile with her energetic farm animals and sing-along songs.

‘The Going to Bed Book’ This board book is one of my favorites to pass on to friends and read aloud. The reader is introduced to a crazy collection of animals and follows them along as they get ready for bed on a boat!

brush their teeth and then they all go up and exercise! Exercise before bed? All of Boynton’s books are filled with humor and this one is just as funny. The animal expressions are extra silly.

Teen’s grieving sister claims school failed to stop bullying Dear Abby: I just lost my 15year-old sister to bullying and the school here is not doing anything about it. There have been a number of suicides due to this behavior. I want schools to realize they need to take action before someone else gets hurt.

Bullying isn’t a harmless prank and it should be taken seriously. I have heard of a bullying law in some schools, but it needs to be in ALL schools. I should not have to bury my sister at such a young age.

Abby, can you please get a message out to schools and their students about bullying? Thank you.

— Grief-Stricken Sister in Michigan Dear Grief-Stricken Sister: Please accept my deepest sympathy not only for the untimely loss of your sister, but also the tragic circumstances surrounding her death. Although bullying is something that has gone on for generations, in recent years school boards have only begun to realize what a serious and pervasive problem it truly is and have instituted zero tolerance policies.

In many schools where student suicides have occurred, the administration has provided grief counseling and programs to sensitize students and faculty in order to prevent it from happening. If that isn’t being done in your community, the parents should be very worried.

Dear Abby: What do you say to a person who never stops talking? A friend does it, and I don’t want to hurt her feelings. It has reached the point where I avoid her because her nonstop babbling irritates me. I have made clear to her I don’t use my phone much and prefer e-mail, but it hasn’t stopped her from calling anyway — sometimes late at night. I let the machine pick up, but my sleep is still interrupted and, once again, I am irritated.

Abby, this woman has a heart of gold. She is generous and sweet, but her incessant chatter dimin-

DEAR ABBY ishes any good feelings I have for her. Even when we’re eating in a restaurant, she never stops to come up for air. How can I politely let her know her never-ending blather is getting on my nerves?

— Can’t Get a Word in, in North Carolina Dear Can’t Get a Word in: Your friend is a compulsive talker. She may do it out of insecurity, or because the sound of silence makes her uncomfortable. She may do it because she thinks she’s entertaining. But hogging the conversation is rude. And calling someone in the late evening, after being told that the person does not want calls after a certain hour, is also rude. Much as you might like to, I doubt anything you say politely will change her. So accept her, warts and all, or move on.

Dear Abby: When a man meets a woman wearing a low-cut dress or blouse, is it rude to momentarily glance down (not stare) at her cleavage? Most men find this a natural, unavoidable impulse.

— Doin’ What Comes Naturally Dear Doin’: It may be a “natural, unavoidable impulse,” but gentlemen have learned to control their impulses. And that’s what I recommend you do — unless you want to offend the woman you’re with or the woman you’re meeting. I’m surprised you haven’t heard the phrase, “My eyes are up HERE.” Dear Readers: From the bottom of my heart, I wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011. And please, if you will be driving tonight, don’t drink; and if you’re drinking tonight, don’t drive. Stay safe, everyone!

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

‘School Pride’

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Local school officials reluctantly allowed a reality television show onto campuses with promises of remodeling, then got stuck with a substandard paint job at one school and at another an embarrassing made-for-TV “re-enactment” of an event that never occurred.

Some of the work at the two Los Angeles schools went well or at least did no harm.

And “School Pride” still has local fans, especially because it inspired community volunteerism and school spirit.

Still, some in the Los Angeles Unified School District are annoyed, at the least because the school system is spending more than $100,000 to repaint Hollenbeck Middle School, east of downtown.

“It’s one thing to need a new paint job,” said Kelly Schmader, director of maintenance and operations for the nation’s second-largest school system. “It’s another to have to do corrections on a paint job that was somewhat of an eyesore.”

The job at Hollenbeck was carried out with little or no prep work, without primer and with only one coat of paint; that’s why it’s already peeling in places, especially the railings, and isn’t expected to last, Schmader said.

Only part of the interior was painted to begin with. Areas of overspray also mar the work.

The handling of lockers was especially sloppy, the district said. They were painted over entirely, including the locker numbers, handles and tumblers.

Horizon Alternative Television, which produced the show, declined to comment on the issues at Hollenbeck and the Los Angeles Center

for Enriched Studies, or LACES, in Mid-City. There also was no comment from NBC, which aired the seven one-hour episodes on Friday nights in the fall. It is not expected to be picked up for a new season.

Los Angeles school district officials were hesitant to be overly critical of “School Pride,” especially given the unexpected death of executive producer Denise Cramsey, 41, in November.

Cramsey had said the show was intended to be a positive catalyst.

“We went around the country fixing up schools and bringing communities together,” Cramsey said. “And I think that’s something everyone should feel really, really good about when they see it on TV.” Cramsey worked off a formula honed while producing “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” That award-winning show boasts a loyal following but has faced criticism for some work that was more visually than functionally impressive or enduring.

“School Pride” recruited corporate donors and local contractors; some of them, in return, were promoted on the show. It

also rallied students, teachers and community members to take part.

The pilot was filmed at Enterprise Middle School in Compton, Calif. Although the Compton Unified School District was appreciative, there was some grumbling about the portrayal of outsiders coming in to “save” Compton.

L.A. school officials at first said no thanks after previewing footage. That episode included “before” film clips of a scampering roach, a rat skull and students likening their school to an unsanitary prison. In the wake of a $20-billion construction and modernization program, L.A. Unified wanted no suggestion that its campuses were decrepit and dirty.

The prospect of bad publicity over rejecting free help, however, prompted a reconsideration.

“School Pride” typically painted exteriors in a school’s official colors. The bright blue and yel-

low used at LACES reminded community critics of an IKEA store. Other people liked the new look.

A music teacher featured in the LACES episode later complained in an interview that his room was remodeled with things he didn’t need, such as six televisions, while items he used, including a storage rack for music stands and file cabinets, were removed.

Other teachers were grateful for upgrades to four classrooms and the culinary arts space.

Landscaping included a waterfall, bridge and koi ponds, and contractors installed new seats, sound equipment and flooring in the auditorium. A contractor returned, when asked, to repair a section of poorly installed floor.

But officials were unhappy with a “re-enactment” based on the district’s early hesitance. In the scene, co-host Jacob Soboroff bursts into a room and reads what sounds like a stop-work order. His troops are crestfallen that the good deeds must cease because of an inflexible district bureaucracy. Cut to commercial.

After the commercial, the “School Pride” team “reveals” that it has persuaded the district to let the LACES renovations continue.

That drama never occurred, and Soboroff wrote a letter of apology to the district. The scene nonetheless was shown on air.

Reached last week, Soboroff said he couldn’t be interviewed without permission from network and show executives. Permission wasn’t granted.

F DVD W

The Washington Post

Most of us didn’t learn what we know about time travel from physicists or the writings of H.G. Wells. We learned it all from “Back to the Future,� the 1985 blockbuster that introduced us to flying DeLoreans, flux capacitors and the plucky Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a wannabe rock guitarist who inadvertently befriends the teenage versions of his parents after zooming back to 1955.

As further proof that time (and time travel stories) inevitably marches on, the much-beloved Robert Zemeckis movie celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, a milestone that Universal has commemorated with the release of “Back to the Future: The 25th Anniversary Trilogy,� a DVD ($49.98) and Blu-ray ($79.98) set that includes the original “Future,� the pair of less compelling sequels it spawned and a wealth of bonus material that reveals many of the behind-the-scenes secrets involved in crafting this complex franchise.

The extra that has garnered

the most attention from the “Future� fan base is the newly included, never-before-seen footage of Eric Stoltz, the actor who was originally cast as Marty and completed a substantial portion of the film before being fired because, as director Zemeckis explains, his comic sensibilities didn’t suit the material.

During a new six-part documentary about the trilogy, we finally get to see Stoltz in character and appearing in scenes that eventually were reshot with Fox, who ultimately catapulted to mega-fame as a result of his work in the film.

The documentary — one of a only few new extras included among the multitude of deleted scenes, outtakes, featurettes and commentary tracks that appeared on previous “Back to the Future� releases — does an excellent job of exploring the evolution of the franchise.

In addition to the glimpses of Stoltz, the doc touches on other elements that were ultimately abandoned (the time-traveling DeLorean came dangerously

close to being a time-traveling refrigerator), “Back to the Future’s� cultural impact (Ronald Reagan? Huge fan!) and explains why some actors from the first movie didn’t make the journey to the second two.

It’s a thorough, highly watchable making-of that that will please “Future� fans and provides the primary attraction in this collection, although there are a couple of other reasons to consider purchasing it. One is the never-before-seen look at the original, storyboarded version of the movie’s climax, in which Marty and Doc Brown rely on an explosion at a nuclear test facility — rather than the power of a lightning bolt — to get the jolt of energy needed to speed back to 1985. The other is the enhanced experience that, on Blu-ray, comes from watching the films in high-def. The movies, making their debut in the format, all look sharper and come with improved functionality that makes it possible to toggle between commentaries and pop-up trivia tracks with seamless ease.

Rating: PG for brief rude humor, mild language and action.

What it’s about: A loser and would-be travel writer is sucked into a world of tiny people where he can be heroic, successful and admired.

The kid attractor factor: Jack Black and lots of teeny-tiny people in 3-D, with the odd buttcrack joke.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Put yourself out there.� But

‘Little Fockers’ Rating: PG-13 for mature sexual humor throughout, language and some drug content.

What it’s about: The hapless male nurse is now a success, but does he earn more respect from his family and father-in-law?

The kid attractor factor: Ben Stiller slapstick, 5-year-olds projectile vomiting.

Good lessons/bad lessons: When it comes to families, “We’ve got our thing, and it works.�

Violence: A big brawl finale.

Language: Son of a this, helluva that, and ongoing puns on the Focker family name.

Sex: Discussed, suggested, with an overdone erectile dysfunction gag.

Drugs: A Jessica Alba drunk scene.

Parents’ advisory: Don’t be the parent whose kids teach my kids dirty words in elementary school. 13-and-older only.

‘Yogi Bear’ Rating: PG for some mild rude humor.

What it’s about: Hanging out with a smarter-than-the-average bear in Jellystone Park.

The kid attractor factor: The character has been around forever, but this time he’s in 3-D. And Boo Boo is voiced by Justin Timberlake.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “You can never fail if you never stop trying.�

Violence: Mild-mannered slapstick.

Language: Disney clean, with the odd butt joke.

Sex: Flirtation Drugs: None Parents’ advisory: A harmless VERY small-child friendly boymeets-girl and bear-steals-pic-anic-basket comedy, suitable for 8 and younger.

Going ‘Back to the Future’ again, after 25 years

By Jen Chaney

‘Gulliver’s Travels’

don’t plagiarize.

Violence: Slapstick, shots to the groin, etc.

Language: A brief dissertation on the “A� word, attached to the prefix “lame.�

Sex: None, though a lengthy peeto-put-out-a-fire bit should count.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: More family friendly than your typical Jack Black farce, with the effects and humor aimed very young. OK for 8 and older.

Ultimately, though, it’s the enduring affection for these films that will motivate fans to buy. Despite the elements that date the “Back to the Future� franchise as a product of the ’80s (see jokes about Pepsi Free and all those Huey Lewis and the News songs) the movies, especially the original, continue to charm because — like Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life,� whose small town of Bedford Falls clearly serves as a model for “Future’s� Hill Valley — they force their characters to ask whether, if given the chance, they would radically alter their own lives.

The conclusions Marty McFly and Doc Brown reach may differ somewhat from those of George Bailey. But their values — which stress the importance of pursuing one’s ambitions without losing an appreciation for home and family — are remarkably similar. And, the era-jumping powers of that tricked-out DeLorean aside, remarkably timeless.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 31, 2010: This year could prove to be very exciting. Many of your most inner hopes and desires become realities.

Confusion surrounds finances. This type of chaos could be unfamiliar to you, but you can handle it. Use care with agreements. A closer relationship with a sibling becomes possible. If you are single, make sure the person you choose really is emotionally available. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from long weekends together alone as a couple. Let the love temperature soar. SAGITTARIUS makes an excellent healer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Spend special time with a loved one. Create your New Year’s resolutions together, laughing and enjoy the moment. Do take a moment to think of the past year, its laurels and issues. Tonight: Feeling bold and adventuresome.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Getting any alone time might be close to impossible. A stream of friends reach out to you — some on the phone, others in email, many inviting you to join them if not tonight then soon thereafter.

Maintain a sense of humor. You might not be reading a parent or authority figure clearly. Tonight: Happiest with your favorite person.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Some last-minute errands or work could absorb a large part of

your day. Be sensitive to a boss and perhaps an older friend. You might not be getting a clear message from someone at a distance. Don’t worry. Relax. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes and greet 2011.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You enjoy the lead-up to 2011. Reach out for those at a distance early on to wish them a great New Year. A loved one could be confusing. How someone greets the New Year differs from one person to the next. Just be there for that person. Tonight: Play it low-key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Last-minute details could have you hung up. Can you let go and enjoy the New Year? All indications are yes; only complete certain vital matters first. A partner pitches in when it counts.

Tonight: No sign knows how to celebrate like you. Get to it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Do as much as possible.

Touch base with key people. Once the festivities get started, connecting via telephone could be much harder.

If you feel like you would prefer to be home, do that. Tonight: Share resolutions with a key person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Whether you are throwing a party or helping someone else with his or her party, you seem to be out running last-minute errands.

Still, be budget-conscious, as there is a tomorrow or another year. Start enjoying the celebration early if possible. Tonight: Out and about, celebrating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Do understand that you

make a difference. Visiting with certain people and wishing them a happy New Year could be more important than you might realize.

You easily could go overboard late afternoon. Tonight: Remember, there will be a tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Maintain a low profile during the daylight hours. Try to maintain some space. There could be a level of confusion in today’s communications. You might need to confirm plans and conversations about tonight.

Tonight: You head out in full regalia.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Friends circle the wagons around you. You have no option but to enjoy those close to you and the moment! Be precise with a financial dealing, or else there could be troubled waters ahead. Share resolutions with your pals. Tonight: Not to be found, unless you want to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You are a force, no matter how someone looks at a situation.

You might be more confused than many about your role right now. Be spontaneous and see what lies ahead. Confirm plans.

Friends all want to be with you!

Tonight: Where the party is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Let your imagination soar.

Contact those you care about at a distance early on. Also, you might want to detach from a confusing matter. It will work out if you let go.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

E6 Friday, December 31, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Resolutions Continued from E1 • Use teamwork and get kids involved. California mom and publicist Antoinette Kuritz says kids are more respectful of parents and their time when they are part of the process, rather than thinking things like dinner or packed backpacks simply magically appear.

Morning routine • It all starts the night before.

Cilley calls the before-bed routine the most important part of the day, which creates a launch pad for the next day.

• Lay out clothes. Kuritz says figuring out what to wear in the morning is often one of the biggest challenges. Parents should check the calendar (is there sports practice?) and weather reports (is it going to rain?), then make sure the kids’ clothing is suitable. Kids get to choose what they want to wear and parents can then approve or suggest changes (this is also good for middle school-age kids, who may be looking to push boundaries).

• Make lunches ahead of time.

Kuritz encourages families to incorporate making lunch into dinnertime cleanup. For example, one parent might wash fruit and make sandwiches while the kids load the dishwasher.

• Deal with paperwork. Kids bring home tons of things that need to be signed or information about events that need to be added to the calendar. Make sure to do this at night.

• Put bags near the front door.

Kuritz says this will help eliminate the “where is my this, where is my that” chatter.

• In the morning, get up before the kids. Cilley thinks even a 15-minute head start can really help. Parents can hop in the shower and fix their hair. That way, they are ready to go. The

Children Continued from E1 I further realized that whereas dads derive great satisfaction from seeing their children become independent, moms have great difficulty, on such occasions, with the loss of dependence.

Understanding your feelings

alternative is parents trying to get ready while children are also making demands on their time, asking questions and needing attention. This can create a harried environment. “Everybody is pulling you. You need to take care of you first,” said Cilley.

Lyss Stern, New York founder of the website Divalysscious Moms and editor in chief of “Observer Playground,” suggests parents get up even earlier, say 45 minutes before the kids. This gives them the ability to grab a cup of coffee, check e-mail, meditate or read the paper.

• Set a routine and stick to it.

Consistency will be key to getting the family on the same page, says Stern.

• Try to eat together.

• Talk about the day ahead.

Stern encourages parents to go over the day’s plans with each other and with kids so everyone knows what is going on.

• Avoid nagging. When Mom says to put on shoes, many kids don’t listen. The parent ends up asking again and again and feeling like a nag. Stern suggests parents be firm and concrete. Tell the children once. Remind them.

If you have to say it a third time, there should be a consequence, such as not getting to watch a TV show or not getting to go to a playdate. Conversely, some parents prefer to reward kids for following the routine (rather than punishing). One way to do this is through a chart. Write down all of the morning tasks on one side and the child’s name at the top. For every day he or she completes all of the tasks (with minimal to no reminders) he or she earns a sticker. If a week goes by filled with stickers, the child earns a reward.

Dinnertime • Recognize the importance of eating dinner together. North Carolina author and founder of www.savingdinner.com Leanne

is the first step toward accepting them as normal. Stop fighting them, stop worrying about yourself, and this very natural phase of your parenthood will pass that much more quickly.

We allow our almost 16-year-old daughter to

C OV ER S T OR I ES Ely points out a number of studies that show a wealth of benefits associated with sitting down and eating together as a family, from lowered drug use to increased security.

• Plan, plan, plan. Come home from work with no clue what to make for dinner? You aren’t alone, but the only way to fix this problem is to plan in advance.

• Make a weekly menu plan. Pick a day — Cilley prefers Wednesday, Kurtiz prefers Thursday, Stern prefers Sunday — to sit down with the family and make a plan for what to eat for each day of the week. Consider the days the kids have practices or parents have late meetings and adjust accordingly.

• Keep the menu list on the fridge for everyone to see.

Ely says this helps ease menu planning.

• Not sure what to make? Brainstorm with the whole family about favorite foods and meals.

Check online sites for ideas, like Ely’s website. Once you have about 20 meals written down, make your list based on that.

Look for meals that are healthy, easy to prepare and tasty.

• Use appliances. Ely relies a lot on both a pressure cooker and a slow cooker. Pressure cookers help get meals ready in a hurry.

Or parents can load up a slow cooker in the morning and come home to find dinner ready. (She has recipes for both available in her e-book “Fast and Slow”).

• Turn the weekly meal list into a grocery list.

• Go to the grocery store just once a week and buy items on the list. Cilley prefers to shop on Thursdays to free her weekend for fun rather than chores.

• Cook in quantity. Rather than making one meatloaf, make two and put one in the freezer. Kuritz swears by this method, often making two trays of lasagne rather than one. The cleanup and prep time are about the same.

• Get kids to help. Parents can

start off by having kids come along to the grocery store, where parents can help them learn to choose food, says Ely. In the kitchen, she gives youngsters safe pumpkin carving knives from kits to help slice. They also have their own aprons. As they get older, the kids will become more proficient.

• Get rid of the ideal image.

Ely says some women have this Norman Rockwell vision of dinnertime and “frankly it doesn’t work that way.” Dinnertime is important, but don’t expect it to be perfect.

• “Power down.” This is a term Stern uses to suggest all family members turn off phones and other electronic devices during dinner. Even if it is just for 10 or 15 minutes, this time can be worth while and create a more calm, peaceful environment.

• Set a time for dinner and try to be consistent.

text on weekends if her grades through the week have been good. She knows I read almost all of what she writes. It disturbs me that she’s telling other children strange lies about herself.

For example, we went to a ballet recently. She told her friend she had been in the ballet. We went to a parade. She told her friend she’d participated in the parade.

Other than this, she’s a wonderful and very moral young person. What does this sort of lying mean?

It probably means that that your daughter knows you are going to read her text messages, and she’s having a bit of fun knowing that she’s getting a rise out of you. Her friend knows she’s not a ballet dancer, right? Right.

Getting more sleep • Avoid the temptation to stay up late. Parents often view the time after the kids go to bed as their special time. Cilley says this can lead to parents staying up too late, watching TV or playing on the computer. The end result? “You are sacrificing your sanity.”

• Set a bedtime. And stick to it.

• Try to sleep more like a child.

This is a tip from Dr. Robert Oexman, director of the Sleep to Live Institute in Joplin, Mo. For instance, kids begin getting ready for bed an hour before bedtime.

So should parents. A hot bath can actually decrease core body temperature, which is a cue for the body to sleep. Kids go to a dimly lit environment and read.

Parents could also do this.

• Avoid watching TV before bed.

Now, some people can watch TV right before bed no problem.

But if you are having a problem sleeping, turn off the TV. Oexman says the light can decrease

A:

melatonin and can cause us to stay awake. The light from computers causes the same problem. At least 30 minutes before bed, cut off the electronics. Reading a book under a lamp should be OK. • Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol. Oexman says these also interfere with sleep.

• Figure out how much sleep you need and get it. Oexman says most people need between seven to nine hours of sleep. A few need six or 10 hours. He says people can try to pinpoint how much sleep they need by paying attention to their body cues.

When the alarm goes off in the morning, is it a reminder to wake up or is it a jarring experience? Do you get out bed dead tired? If you start to watch TV at night, do you fall asleep? Do you use the snooze alarm many times?

These are signs you aren’t getting enough sleep.

• Value sleep. A lack of sleep doesn’t just make us drowsy, it can also decrease our ability to deal with stressful situations or to interact socially with our kids or help with homework, says Oexman.

• Take turns. Parents of young children may want to consider taking turns on night duty. One parent gets to sleep solidly through the night for two to three nights, then the parents switch. Parents can also trade weekends and allow the other parent to sleep in, says Oexman. (Husbands of breast-feeding moms who can’t trade the night shift can encourage them to nap during their days off to try to catch up on sleep).

• Keep the bedroom dark and cool.

Books Continued from E1 The board book is a larger size than most, which makes it perfect to read at Baby Steps story time at the library or one-on-one at home.

‘Amazing Cows!: A Book of Bovinely Inspired Misinformation’

I think she and her friend are getting a major hoot out of this.

It’s called mischief, something teens have been known for since time immemorial.

Boynton’s latest book is my all time favorite! It’s for “All Ages up to a Hundred and MOO!” I laughed out loud before I even opened the book. The cover pulls you in with a comic-book style filled with silly words and bright illustrations of a flying cow and talking chickens.

Inside is a colorful collection of stories, knock-knock jokes, poems and so much mooo-re! I was laughing, telling jokes and yelling out words the whole way through. Even if you don’t find Boynton’s new book as amusing as I do, you will find at least one page that makes you smile or remember a story from your past. I’m guessing it might be Page 30, “Find the Hidden Cows.” The illustrations are bold and bright with flying cows, cows taking walks and posing for portraits. The words are silly yet strong and fun to read to friends. You might want to dress up your own cow with the latest cow fashion: pink fuzzy slippers or the timeless reluctant chicken toupee.

Mooo! “THE END! THE COW BOOK IS OVER,” yells the chicken.

Don’t forget to check the memorable recording of “Bolero Completely Unraveled” at www .workman.com/boynton, a kazoo performance mentioned on page 87. And look at Sandra Boynton’s website for her books and interests, www. sandraboynton.com. Or come by the Bend Public Library to explore more and laugh out loud!

Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parents’ questions on his website at www.rosemond.com.

AT THE DESCHUTES COUNTY COURTHOUSE, FRONT WEST ENTRANCE, 1164 NW BOND, CITY OF BEND, COUNTY OF DESCHUTES AND STATE OF OREGON AND THE NEW SALE DATE IS MARCH 29, 2011 at 1:00 P.M. AT THE SAME LOCATION. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS: The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for NOVEMBER 30, 2010. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED: IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE." You must mail or deliver your proof not later than October 31, 2010 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT: Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE: The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay.

Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property.

Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice.

THE RIVER PIGS Busy local band’s sound draws from the very best roots, rock and blues

If you go What: The Prairie Rockets and The River Pigs When: 9 tonight Where: Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom, 24 N.W. Greenwood Ave., Bend Cost: $10 Contact: www.silvermoonbrewing.com or 541-388-8331

By Ben Salmon The Bulletin

I

t’s a rainy, windy, bone-chillingly cold Monday afternoon in Bend, and veteran local musician Scott Foxx — widely considered one of the finest players in town — is getting down and dirty.

At Knott Landfill.

“The glamorous rock ’n’ roll life of Scott Foxx,” he said with a laugh. “At the dump.”

It’s a bit of a reach to turn Foxx’s junkyard junket into a metaphor for his busy local band, The River Pigs, but if your arms are long enough (or you’re a music writer looking for an angle) you can do it.

You see, the Pigs — who’ll share a bill with local ladygrass band The Prairie Rockets tonight at Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom (see “If you go”) — are scavengers, skimming all the best roots music, blues and rock ’n’ roll of the past several decades and incorporating the best bits into their eclectic sound.

Foxx started the Pigs in 2006 as a partnership with guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jeff Leslie, who’d moved down from Seattle and was looking to make some money in Bend’s music scene. (“He didn’t know how little it would be,” Foxx joked on Monday.)

Foxx already had a band with local guitarist Richard Taelour, called Bam Boom. But once the Pigs were up and running, he just sort of “gravitated” to the new project, he said.

Along the way, Foxx and Leslie picked up longtime local drummer Jeff Ingraham, who’s perhaps best known for his semiregular gig in Merle Haggard’s

Courtesy Maggie Jackson

The River Pigs are, from left, Jeff Ingraham, Scott Foxx, Val Billington and Jeff Leslie. touring band. (When Ingraham’s away playing with Haggard, he’s replaced by Raul Romero. “Raul’s like the fifth Pig,” Foxx said.)

For years, bassist Thomas Tsuneta rounded out the lineup. But earlier this year, when Tsuneta’s other band, Mosley Wotta, became busier, he and the Pigs parted ways. Now, Val Billington handles bass for The River Pigs.

The most striking thing about seeing a River Pigs show is how tight the band is, thanks in no small part to the individual members’ abilities. Also impressive: the quartet’s command of different styles, whether they’re playing original songs penned by

Foxx and Leslie, or any one of the dozens of classic covers in their repertoire. From the beginning, the band was oriented to be able to play either style, depending on the gig, Foxx said.

Most often, the Pigs can be found cranking out familiar, good-times jams at The Riverhouse, where they usually play several nights in a row. Of course, like any band, they enjoy putting their own twist on others’ songs.

“We do the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, John Hiatt. We’re not really a Top 40 kind of band,” Foxx said. “Like someone would go, ‘Oh, that’s cool. They do that song. I like that song. They do it

differently. That’s cool.’”

Foxx is a proficient fiddler, so the band plays a bluegrass-flavored version of Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” and a Cajun take on Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog.” (Foxx will also sit in with The Prairie Rockets at Silver Moon tonight.)

As for originals, Leslie’s songs run the gamut, from delta blues to Beatles-esque pop, Foxx said. And Foxx described his own tunes as “groove-based,” but beyond that, he had trouble narrowing them down to a specific sound.

“One of them’s a tango,” he said.

“So … yeah … lots of sounds out of one band.”

For fans of Pigs originals, there’s good news: The band is currently putting the finishing touches on its first, still-unnamed album, which it plans to release early next year.

Actually, they hoped to have it done by Christmas, but life got in the way. You know, trips to the dump and things like that.

“We’ve dedicated one night a week to getting it done and getting it out,” Foxx said. “I’m hoping we won’t still be waiting for it next Christmas.”

music Pagan Jug Band plays at McMenamins Last summer, McMenamins began booking bands for three nights in a row at their various venues around the Northwest, including Bend’s Old St. Francis School. They call the program the McMenamins Residency Series.

Next week, the first Old St. Francis School residency of 2011 will be filled by the Pagan Jug Band, an acoustic sextet from the fine city of Portland.

PJB has been around in some form or another since 1993, when Rose City veterans Chris Miskow and Pat Buckley started the band to do one thing: play music that they love.

The current incarnation of PJB features Marilee Hord on fiddle, Kya Eckstrand on washboard (washboard!), Jack Hoffman on harmonica and Bill Tollner on upright bass, plus Miskow and Buckley on any number of fun noisemakers. The band’s all-acoustic sound draws from bluegrass, folk, country, blues and even a little zydeco.

They’ll be at the local McMenamins on Wednesday, Thursday, and next Friday, Jan. 7. Hear ’em at www.paganjug band.com.

Pagan Jug Band; 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Thursday and Jan. 7; free; McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 N.W. Bond St., Bend; www.mcmenamins .com or 541-382-5174.

Mosley Wotta celebrates 1/1/11 In case you aren’t a calendaroddity hawk, Saturday’s date is Jan. 1, 2011, sometimes shorthanded thusly: 1/1/11.

To celebrate this red-let-

Pagan Jug Band Submitted photo

ter day, Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom is hosting an On The Ones Party featuring one of Bend’s most popular bands, Mosley Wotta.

As if they need any introduction, Mosley Wotta is not only a guy — local MC Jason Graham — but also the name of his funky, jammy, live hip-hop backing band. They won last summer’s Last Band Standing contest. They recently opened for international trip-hop star Tricky in Portland. They’re just

a lot of fun. But you probably know that already.

Saturday’s special treat: Former Bendite and current Portlander DJ Mud will be on hand to spin tracks before, between and after Mosley Wotta’s sets.

Now, Mud (aka Mike Graham, no relation to Jason) used to be MoWo’s full-time DJ (before the live band), and as a duo, those dudes were terrific. So I’m going to use some ink right here to put in a special request that the Grahams do at least one song to-

gether, old-school MC+DJ style.

Don’t let me down, guys!

On The Ones Party, with Mosley Wotta and DJ Mud; 9 p.m. Saturday; $7 plus fees in advance, available at www.bendticket.com, $10 at the door; Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom, 24 N.W. Greenwood Ave., Bend; www.silvermoon brewing.com or 541-388-8331.

MadHappy Mondays hosts Problem Stick The MadHappy Lounge in the center of downtown Bend is probably best known in the local live-music scene for its relentless DJ and hip-hop offerings.

Oh, and its drinks. Definitely its drinks.

But owner Reggie Martinez has always been open to booking other kinds of music, as evidenced by his new-ish regular night, the punk- and rock-focused MadHappy Mondays.

Next week, MadHappy Mondays’ sound will be provided by those beloved purveyors of “wrecked rock” known as Problem Stick. Frontman Wayne Newcome and company are always bizarre fun, playing songs that sound like rootsy pop nuggets run through a lawnmower and glued back together, but in the wrong way, so they turn out

all prickly and pointy and odd.

But interesting. Always interesting. Think Tom Waits leading a psych-country band through drunken covers of a horror movie soundtrack and you’re in the ballpark, at least. Or just visit www.problemstick.com.

Problem Stick; 9 p.m. Monday; free; MadHappy Lounge, 850 N.W. Brooks St., Bend; 541-388-6868.

New Year’s Eve options on Page 10 Tonight, the towns of Central Oregon will be blanketed with New Year’s Eve parties, and many of them will have live music.

The options stretch as far as the eye can see, from Sagebrush Rock’s classic rock to Slipmat Science’s electronic tonic, and from Concrete Cowboys’ modern country to Bellavia’s urban jazz. No matter what kind of music you want to hear as you ring in 2011, chances are someone out there can provide it.

So flip over to Page 10, check out our listing of New Year’s celebrations, and start planning where you’re going to work on forgetting those auld acquaintances tonight.

Wish list for 2011

Ph otos by R ob Kerr, Dean Guernsey, Ben Salmon / The Bulletin ile photo

Clockwise from left, fans watch Michael Franti perform at Les Schwab Amphitheater in 2008, The Helio Sequence plays the PDXchange Program in June and Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars perform at the Tower Theatre in May. The return of PDXchange, a full slate of Memorial Day weekend concerts at the Schwab, and more world music shows are all on Ben Salmon’s wish list for the local music scene in 2011.

Here are some things that need to happen in 2011 for the local music scene to maintain momentum

T

wo weeks ago, GO! Magazine’s music section was wholly dedicated to looking back at the best music of the year.

Last week, I used the Feedback column to rewind 12 months, review my hopes and wishes for the local scene in 2010, and assess how those panned out. (Short version: Most wishes granted, a few came up short. Long version here: http://url.bb/wishgranted10.)

All that brings us to today, the final day of the year. Tomorrow, 2011 dawns, and in my mind, it’s going to be a crucial time for Central Oregon’s music scene, which has spent the past couple of years solidifying into a strong, self-sufficient unit and sending its own sound out into the world.

So what comes next? Sustained

growth and development? A timid step back from something bigger?

Or sticking with the status quo?

I vote for growth. I’d like to see bigger and better shows in this region, and more of them. I want more local bands playing more gigs, not only locally, but regionally and beyond. I hope plenty of new, interesting, challenging and/ or weird music rears its head in Bend this year.

So it’s time to look ahead. Here are a few specific things I want to see happen on the local music scene in 2011: • New and improved Last Band Standing. I got an e-mail a couple weeks ago that this megabattle of the bands would return for its second year in 2011, and I think that’s great. Most people

I’ve talked to about the threemonth-long event agreed that, overall, LBS was good for the local music scene, in that it drew a whole bunch of people out to see local bands they wouldn’t have otherwise seen.

Of course, most people I talked to — mostly members of participating bands — also agreed that LBS could be improved from an organizational standpoint. And after watching the cattle call vote-casting lines on finale night, I’d bet a lot of voters felt the same way.

So I’d like to see LBS return, and I hope it has the same kind of success and impact that it did in 2010. But I’d like to see organizers come up with a better way to cast and count votes, and I’d love for

Feedback

BY BEN SALMON them to find a way to allow under-21 bands into the competition.

And finally: Local bands only, please. No need to import bands from Portland, or any other town outside Central Oregon.

• More variety! Bend gets a bit of everything, it seems, but there’s little doubt that our live-music bread is buttered with funky, bluesy, grassy roots-rock jams, plus a side of hip-hop.

And we’re lucky to specialize in that area; there are a lot of veins to mine there. But where are the touring punk and metal bands? Where is the original electronica made by out-of-towners? A few years ago, all three

of those genres enjoyed regular, mid-sized or big-name shows in town on a fairly regular basis.

Today, they’re too few and too far between.

Same goes for jazz and world music. Both get their occasional dates in the spotlight; kudos to Joe Rohrbacher for his dedication to the former and the Tower Theatre for booking the latter. And the upcoming jazz series at The Oxford Hotel, Silver Moon’s Dusu Mali Band date in February, and Arturo Sandoval’s Tower visit in March are good starts. But more shows like those would be terrific.

I don’t know what it’ll take, whether it’s some new booking blood, a reopened dive bar or a promoter with a passion. And I don’t know if Bend’s music lovers would adequately support these kinds of shows. But I hope the local music scene offers more flavors in 2011 than it did in 2010.

music From previous page • More action on the high school scene. A couple years ago, Bend’s high school band scene was hopping, with groups like We Are Brontosaurus and The Snag making waves around the region.

These days, you don’t hear much about rock bands based in the local high schools.

Either I’m not paying enough attention to what’s happening in the schools, or their rock ’n’ roll pipelines have dried up a bit. Either way, having young, fresh faces playing frequently around Bend invigorates the entire music scene, so I hope we start seeing this year’s model start to pop up at places like the PoetHouse, and wherever else they can get a gig.

• The return of PDXchange Program. Last time I talked to Henry Abel — founder of the PDXchange Program, which brought Portland indie-rock bands to Bend’s Tower Theatre — he was unsure of the series’ fate in 2011.

Well, I’ll stand on one of the Tower’s plush seats and say that I hope Abel makes a second go of it in 2011.

Seeing bands like The Thermals, The Helio Sequence and Horse Feathers in a beautiful place like the Tower was one of the most striking things about Bend’s music scene in 2010. It brought an energy to the Tower that we haven’t seen in, well, maybe ever. We need more of that.

And if Abel does bring back PDXchange for 2011, we need more butts in those plush seats.

If you skipped any or all of the 2010 shows, then yes, I’m talking to you. This series deserves your support.

• Memorial Day weekend shows at Les Schwab Amphitheater.

Three of them. One each night of the long weekend. Just like in 2006 and 2008. (Two nights of shows, a la 2010, is pretty good.

But it’s just not the same.)

Piggybacking on Washington’s indie-friendly Sasquatch Festival would be ideal, of course.

That ensures we kick off the 2011 Schwab season with some of the hottest young(ish) rock bands going.

But even if that Sasquatch connection can’t happen, having three shows on Memorial Day weekend is the best way for Bend’s biggest stage to make a splash. It’s like the Schwab kicks in the door, steps through and announces, loudly, that the big dog is back, and ready to rock. It creates buzz among local music lovers, and unofficially marks the beginning of the summer music season.

It’s an important milestone, in other words, a vital piece of the puzzle. And one that should be a high priority for the team behind the Schwab’s summer lineup.

• Continued empire building. As I talked about extensively in the Dec. 17 issue of GO! Magazine, local musicians made inroads in all kinds of places other than Central Oregon in 2010. From Larry and His Flask in Boston and Florida to Eric Tollefson in Los Angeles to Empty Space

Orchestra in Seattle and Person People in Montana and Idaho, the sound of the High Desert pushed farther out than ever before.

As the saying goes, a rising tide floats all boats. So if you’re in a local band, you have no reason not to root for any of those folks — or any other local artists — to become more popular outside the region. It’s good for them, it’s good for Central Oregon, and it’s good for you and me, too.

In 2011, I hope all those bands (and others) continue to hit the pavement, rack up the tour-van miles, and spread the word that there’s a lot of good stuff happening here.

• The old standbys. Here’s where I list a few evergreens, things I think are always important to a thriving local music scene: Support your local independent record store, Ranch Records. Support your local community radio station, KPOV. And support the venues that are out

there providing live music, especially when they’re just dipping their toes in the water.

Any strong music scene needs a wide variety of venues for bands to play, from punk bars and jazz clubs to concert halls and amphitheaters. The more the merrier, I say, and the more shapes and sizes we can gather, the better. So when you see a place like the Old Mill Music Lounge (formerly the martini bar in the Old Mill District) start hosting shows, go there, pay the cover, and let them know you appreciate their willingness to open their doors to live music.

It all works together, you know: Bands need places to play, and venues need to see that live music is valuable to their mission.

And both of them need your support. So go. Support them.

music releases Ne-Yo

Kevin Eubanks

LIBRA SCALE Def Jam Recordings If albums had a thread count, the one on Ne-Yo’s “Libra Scale” would be more than 1,000. Plush is the watchword for this album, the fourth by Shaffer Chimere Smith, aka Ne-Yo. Through a career as R&B lyricist and performer of his own songs, Ne-Yo has positioned himself as a sensitive man who genuinely loves women, defying hiphop machismo and its strip-club images of femininity. On “Libra Scale,” as on previous albums, he promises to respect a woman, to love her mind as well as her body and to make himself vulnerable.

The settings are luxurious.

Wind chimes swirl, string sections swell and bass lines purr.

Amid them, Ne-Yo’s tenor-to-falsetto croon openly imitates Michael Jackson. The album starts out slick and complacent, with the singer inventorying his charms while the producers create simulacrums of 1970s and ’80s smooth soul. In “Makin’ a Movie” Ne-Yo pledges that it will include “a love

ZEN FOOD Mack Avenue Records It may take a while to shake the persona that guitarist Kevin Eubanks projected for nearly 18 years as musical director of “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”

But this CD nicely changes the channel.

Eubanks, who grew up in Philadelphia and played in the early 1980s with drummer Art Blakey, among many others, is a serious player, and this quintet recording finds him sounding very assured working alongside some

Calle 13 ENTREN LOS QUE QUIERAN Sony Music Latin The most iconoclastic character in hip-hop might well be Rene Perez, the rapper called Residente in the Puerto Rican duo Calle 13.

His partner is his stepbrother, the musician, composer and producer Eduardo Cabra, or Visitante.

On “Entren Los Que Quieran” (“Everybody Is Welcome”), Calle 13’s fourth album, Perez proclaims in the title of “Digo Lo Que Pienso,” “I say what I think,” and adds in the song that “I’m more controversial than Michael Jackson and his doctor.” Perez is thoughtful in a way that never rules out a wisecrack, while Cabra’s music underlines and deepens Calle 13’s ambitions.

scene with you”; in “Know Your Name,” as he solicits a woman’s name and number, he flatters, “In your eyes I can see why people write love songs.”

But halfway through the album the tone changes. The music turns more electronic, and Ne-Yo seizes on Jackson’s anxiety as well as his vocal phrasing. Echoes of “Billie Jean” come through “Beautiful Monster” and “Cause I Said So,” in which the woman clearly has the upper hand. As the album ends, Ne-Yo sings “What Have I Done?” an apology and confession from a man left lonely.

— Jon Pareles, The New York Times

The album begins by crowing that “Entren Los Que Quieran” completes Calle 13’s current Sony contract. In “Calma Pueblo,” Perez mocks the label, Puerto Rico’s governor, corporate sponsors, radio stations, the Vatican, the media and, for good measure, any listeners offended by Calle 13.

Yet for much of this album Calle 13 cuts back on comedy. Perez has changed his delivery, switching from a nasal Beastie Boys sneer to a gruffer, more earnest tone.

He has also jettisoned most of the raunch that used to share songs with his sociopolitical broadsides.

The music keeps expanding.

“Vamo’ a Portarnos Mal” (“Let’s Misbehave”) punches up the beat of a Dominican merengue with rock guitar. “Todo Se Mueve” (“Everything Moves”) draws on Afrobeat, with Seun Kuti — son of Afrobeat’s patriarch, Fela Kuti — joining in. And “Baile de los Pobres” (“Dance of the Poor”) mingles Middle Eastern strings with Mexican banda (brass band) and whizzing electronics. Its lyrics juxtapose upper- and lower-class conditions and conclude, “Here we dance like the poor.” Even at its most serious, Calle 13 harnesses the power of a good time.

— Jon Pareles, The New York Times

L.A. pals: tenor and soprano saxophonist Bill Pierce, drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith, keyboardist Gerry Etkins, and bassist Rene Camacho.

Intelligent fusion is the general theme here. Eubanks doesn’t project his own sound so much as exhibit proficiency and ease at many guises. It’s as if he’s drawing from Leno’s long line of musical guests.

“Dirty Monk” has a dark, stomping feel and some vicious solos along with a pretty coda, while “Adoration” is folky and prettier still. “The Dancing Sea” hints at a Pat Metheny vibe,

which resonates occasionally through these 10 originals.

— Karl Stark, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Whether the heartsick R&B of the piano-driven “Stuttering” or the Elliott-produced, samplestacked “Holding You Down (Goin’ in Circles),” Sullivan pours herself into the songs yet keeps her ground, no matter the style or tone.

Executive produced by Elliott and Salaam Remi (respon-

sible for Sullivan’s breakout hit, “Bust Your Windows”), “Love Me Back” gives Sullivan the opportunity to test ideas. On “Don’t Make Me Wait,” she frolics in her purple legwarmers to Prince-inspired synth-aerobics, her voice a breathy tease. Overall, “Love Me Back” could use more experimentation — it feels a little static with too many similar-sounding songs.

But there’s no denying Sullivan’s comfort zone. For “U Get On My Nerves,” she and sparring partner Ne-Yo capture “the ex doth protest too much” syndrome. As they both rant about the other, you can practically see them climbing into bed for one last try — and one last fight.

— Margaret Wappler, Los Angeles Times

recently he has been on records

by Bonnie Prince Billy, the Silver Jews, Wooden Wand and Cortney Tidwell, as well the older Nashville heroes Bobby Bare and Charlie Louvin. If something strange and refined is going on in Nashville, he’s often involved in it.

As a sideline, for the last few years, he has been making his own solo acoustic-guitar music, first as Paper Hats and now under his own name on the album “Behold the Spirit.” This is a record of finger-picking compositions, with long stretches of droning repetition that change tempos or patterns according to plan. It’s also a record of ghostly, layered, rusty sounds: a violin, playing a slow line over and over on “Signal Mountain,” as echoey clouds arise around

it; ambient outdoor whooshes at the beginning and end of various tracks.

This album may remind you of a lot of things: baroque guitar music, Jimmy Page’s acoustic playing on “Led Zeppelin III,” some of Bert Jansch’s early records, Jim O’Rourke’s post-postmodern Americana. But overall, in its learnedness and mystery and beauty, “Behold the Spirit” often sounds like his version of a record by John Fahey, the guitarist who died in 2001 after paving what seems more and more like an extremely wide road, lashing various kinds of prewar acoustic country music and blues together with musique-concrete techniques, improvisation and noise.

— Ben Ratliff, The New York Times

Jazmine Sullivan LOVE ME BACK J Records As long as Missy Elliott keeps withholding a new album from her listeners, now nearly despondent from neglect, we’ll have to make do with salvos from her protégés. The good news is that Jazmine Sullivan, only 23, is already her own tough-loving individual on her sophomore album, “Love Me Back.”

With a lived-in voice that’s scratched and ragged at the edges, Sullivan walks herself to the precipice of emotion without falling off. Instead she finds the plaintive center, the kind of soothing intimacy that almost seems like the way we’d sing to ourselves in times of trouble.

William Tyler BEHOLD THE SPIRIT Tompkins Square Records William Tyler is a session guitarist in Nashville’s negative spaces: a fine musician you don’t hear on country radio. He moves in the orbits around the singer-songwriter Kurt Wagner and the producer Mark Nevers;

Prepare for horror

TOP 10 THE BEST OF 2010 The editors of Game Informer Magazine rank the top 10 games of 2010:

Much-anticipated ‘Dead Space 2’ is a terrifying (and worthy) successor

he horrifying mutants in the “Dead Space” series kill everything brutally and indiscriminately. The mere sight of them can drive a person mad, but if the Necromorphs are so frightening, why are we excited to see them again? With the release of “Dead Space 2” on the horizon, horror game fans are having trouble containing their enthusiasm for EA and Visceral Games’ chilling follow-up.

Though the full game isn’t ready for review quite yet, I got my hands on a few chapters early in the campaign. I won’t spoil any of the story moments, but here are five things you should expect from your single-player journey through the Sprawl.

1. It’s scary.

When “Dead Space 2” was announced, the team at Visceral talked about striking a better balance with the pacing. This led some concerned fans to conclude that “Dead Space 2” would stray from its horror roots and become another sci-fi shooter. Rest assured, that hasn’t happened.

The team’s philosophy toward pacing seems focused mainly on injecting variety into the action rather than changing the feel of the gameplay. Instead of just walking down corridors waiting for something to jump out, I visited more zero gravity areas, guided Isaac as he rocketed toward a runaway tram, and played a sequence where I had to fight off Necromorphs while hanging upside-down.

2. The Sprawl is different.

“Dead Space” took place in the

The follow-up to “Dead Space” is just as scary, but you have new tricks — and so do the Necromorphs. cramped corridors of a mining vessel, but the sequel is set on a populated space station. The change in venue provides more variety in the scenery; I found myself in an apartment building, a shopping center, a church, and floating in deep space and that’s just in the early chapters. The areas aren’t just corridors, either.

Each section has different colors and spaces, so I got more of a feeling of moving from one distinct place to another.

3. Kinesis and stasis are better.

Isaac’s guns are still his main weapons, but his secondary tools have seen improvements for the sequel. Stasis, which slows down enemies, now slowly recharges.

You still need to carry stasis packs to replenish your meter mid-combat, but in the time between encounters, you can bank a couple of uses of the ability for when the fighting starts again.

Kinesis has seen some tweaks, too. It’s a viable combat tool now, good for grabbing environmental

objects and hurling at your foes.

4. Necromorphs have new tricks.

Making my way through the Sprawl, I saw plenty of familiar (and ugly) Necromorph faces, like deformed babies and guys with blades for hands. I also saw some new enemies that made my skin crawl. The most challenging encounter I had was against a group of stalkers, mid-sized Necromorphs that hunt in packs and use ploys to distract Isaac. Just as I lined up a shot on one peeking its head around a corner, another one charged me from behind and knocked me to the ground. Then, they both fled, making it difficult to launch a counterattack. To defeat stalkers, I had to play mind games with them, drawing one

out and using stasis as it charged to get a clear shot, all the while making sure his friends weren’t launching an attack of their own.

5. Isaac is not OK. At the end of the first “Dead Space,” Isaac destroys the Marker that caused the Necromorph outbreak on the USG Ishimura. Unfortunately for him, that didn’t lead to a happy ending. The Markers aren’t just monolithic symbols; they twist the minds around them into a Lovecraftian nightmare, and Isaac was afflicted. In addition to fighting violent abominations in “Dead Space 2,” Isaac also fights against his warped perception of reality. He experiences bizarre hallucinations (usually involving his onetime girlfriend, Nicole) as he travels across the Sprawl.

Special bulletins paint Isaac as a fugitive, describing him as “delusional and dangerous.” In the early part of the game, Isaac’s main goal is to meet up with a woman named Daina who has promised him a cure for his disturbing visions.

• “chick chick BOOM” (Wii) • “Dead Rising 2: Case West” (X360) — Gamespot.com

‘FUNKY LAB RAT’ For: PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network From: Hydravision ESRB Rating: E for Everyone Price: $10 On paper, “Funky Lab Rat” sounds like a who’s who of popular indie game conventions. But the separate presences of 2-D puzzle platforming, real-time level editing and time manipulation wouldn’t amount to anything special if the game didn’t harmonize them as well as it does. The goal is to help Diego the rat escape the lab by clearing each of its 81 levels. The levels are pretty small, and Diego’s limited acrobatic repertoire leaves little mystery about how he can collect the floating pills (used to unlock levels) and reach the exit.

Where things get complicated is in your additional role of creating a path of escape that Diego can navigate. During the tutorial stages, “Rat” introduces a handful of time manipulation tricks that allow you to rewind (to correct a fatal mistake), fast-forward (temporarily skip a level that’s got you stuck) and pause.

The pause function is by far the most interesting, because “Rat” allows you to arrange parts of a paused level to create a path for Diego. The objective behind the objective is to plan a few steps ahead and set up a perfect plan of escape amid a flurry of hazards and moving parts. “Rat” starts off easy, but the later worlds are wickedly difficult.

Carlos A. Perez used an iPhone to create the self-portrait at top, and to capture images of a polar bear swimming at the Oregon Zoo in Portland and of his children atop Mount Bachelor. It’s part of his first exhibit of such photos, “Sent from my iPhone,” opening Tuesday at Thump Coffee in downtown Bend.

Graphic designer turns his eye to iPhone images

By David Jasper The Bulletin

C

arlos A. Perez, 39, of Bend, is a husband, father, graphic designer and a proud enthusiast of Apple and its products.

You can add one more adjective to that list.

“I think my wife says I’m a geek,” Perez told The Bulletin on Monday in an interview about his upcoming show, “Sent from my iPhone,” an exhibit of about 180 postcard-

size prints that Perez took with his iPhone.

It opens Tuesday at Thump Coffee in downtown Bend. Perez plans to rotate through a total of 180 photographs, exhibiting 60 at any given time throughout the month of January.

A designer by trade, Perez was born in Connecticut and raised with a photographer for a father — a hobbyist who always carried a bag full of lenses with him — and Perez

himself minored in photography while earning his degree in design at Pennsylvania State University.

After graduation, he moved to Texas, where he worked for JCPenney for several months (“too corporate,” he explains) and later Fossil Inc. for a few years, doing watch and product design.

He spent several years with a Dallas design firm before moving to Bend in 2000, where he started his own company, Perez design.

When he has a project for a client, he takes his traditional camera equipment with him, although that’s not an aspect of his business he promotes.

In his free time, he says, he’s always taken photos, carrying with him toy cameras such as the Holga, an early 1980s camera that developed a following for its interesting results.

“Then with the advent of the Flip phone, Nokias and Motorolas, I always took pictures with those,” he says.

fine arts From previous page Then he got an iPhone, and “actually started taking pictures seriously. There are some really cool apps out there that allow you to manipulate the imagery and do some cool editing and cropping.”

These include ShakeItPhoto, a “fauxlaroid” app with which the user can hurry along development by shaking his or her iPhone, just like a Polaroid.

Another, the TiltShift Generator, “gives you that really cool perspective; what it does is it softens the depth-of-field, allowing you to create the illusion of a miniature,” he explains.

Some of the many apps he uses apply these processes instantly, while he’s taking photos; others he saves and tinkers with later from the comfort of a coffee shop such as Thump. “And I very rarely use just one of them. I use a combination of them,” says Perez.

Though he’s clearly had an interest in photography for a while, “what really did it for me was the portability of my iPhone,” he says. The advent of the iPhone and its apps has allowed him to get rid of the bulkier camera equipment and lenses he often used to carry with him.

The exhibit includes photos taken over the last 12 months “wherever I happen to be,” he says. “Some are in Portland, whether it’s downtown, or Hood River, or in the zoo, or in the garden, or on the mountain or on vacation at Lake Powell or something. There’s landscapes, there’s portraits, there’s cool shapes. It’s a glimpse of what you could do with your camera.”

Using the services of online card printing service moo.com, Perez had postcards printed of the 180 images he plans to exhibit. “The cool thing about the iPhone is you can get a pretty decent print,” he says.

Though he knows “there are a bunch of other smart phones, I guess you can call ’em, that are out there that do the same kind of stuff, I just gravitated towards the iPhone because my whole studio is Apple,” he says.

“It’s a fun thing. It’s cool because you can take a picture of whatever, whenever, and I think the quality is pretty decent for what it is,” he says. (If you can’t wait till Tuesday and want to preview his work now, check out www.carlosaperez.com.)

Perez says he’s always been tech savvy.

“It’s funny you mention it. My family’s in town, and they all (crowd) around me and say, ‘Can you update my laptop for me?’ and ‘Can you update my iPhone for me, please?’” he says, laughing. “It’s super-simple for me …

networking my house is a nobrainer for me.”

The decision to show his photographs came about as a result of his friendship with Hazel and Kent Chapple, owners of Thump Coffee, for whom he’s done creative work.

Hazel had in the past suggested he do a show, solo or in collaboration with another artist, but at first Perez never quite took the suggestion seriously, “just because it never occurred to us, ‘Oh my God, we could have a show.’”

“Hazel then had an opportunity this coming month, and I said, ‘Sure, why not?’”

“Sent from my iPhone” exhibits along with “Push,” a preview of custom skateboard deck art by local, regional and national artists, a fundraiser for the Division Street Skatepark, a concrete skatepark local skaters hope to build under the overpass on Division Street in Bend.

Perez sounds just as excited about that concurrent show as his own.

“That in itself is going to be really cool,” says Perez.

Asked where he sees his photography going, he answers, “We’ll see where this show takes me … I wouldn’t mind getting some photographs and putting them on boards — snowboards or skateboards. Maybe something cool will come out of this show. Maybe I’ll talk to some people and see if there’s a way to do it.”

Free violin recital Sunday in Sunriver Violinist Morganne Aaberg will perform a free recital featuring selections from Bach, Brahms, Mozart and more at 4 p.m. Sunday at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Sunriver.

Aaberg, 21, trained from a young age in the Suzuki method and is on the faculty at the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music. She spent the summer participating in the Bowdoin International Music Festival in Maine and will graduate in May from Mannes College in New York with a Bachelor of Music degree in violin performance.

When she’s not in New York, she divides her time between Honolulu, where her family now lives, and Sunriver, where her grandparents live.

In an e-mail to The Bulletin, Aaberg writes, “I have never participated in the Sunriver Music Festival, though I have been attending their concerts since I was a little girl! I grew up in Corvallis, and my grandparents, who live in Sunriver, would take me (and still do) to all the concerts.”

In fact, she’s dedicating the recital to her grandparents.

“The concert came into being because I would like to honor my grandparents, Mary Catherine and Jim McMurtry.

While they are not musicians, they are great music enthusiasts, and exposed me to a lot of music through concerts and recordings when I was a child,” she says. “There is almost never a time in the house when the radio isn’t tuned in to public radio’s classical station.

They are big supporters of music in the community, and also have been huge supporters of me, providing love and encouragement and the financial aid necessary for my musical education.”

Holy Trinity Church is located at 18143 Cottonwood Road, Sunriver.

Contact: www.sunriver music.org or 541-593-1084.

Preview night nears for local playwright On Thursday, 2nd Street Theater will hold its preview night performance of local playwright Cricket Daniel’s comedy about three generations of an Italian Catholic family living together in Connecticut. Among them: 18year-old Maria, who dreams of moving to New York and starring on “All My Children” with actress Susan Lucci.

Violinist Morganne Aaberg, 21, will perform Sunday in Sunriver.

She grew up in Corvallis and now lives in New York, where she studies music at Mannes College and is on the faculty at the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music.

Vanessa Farnsworth is directing the play, starring Rachel Deegan, Liam O’Sruitheain, Ali Kinkade & Anne Givens.

Admission is $10. Curtain time is 8 p.m. The play opens Jan. 7 and runs through Jan. 22, with performances Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

2nd Street Theater is located at 220 N.E. Lafayette Ave., Bend.

Opera series at movie theater continues Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 will screen a high-definition encore presentation of The Metropolitan Opera’s “Don Carlo” at 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday. Originally broadcast live on Dec. 11, The Met’s production of Giuseppe Verdi’s five-act opera stars tenor Roberto Alagna

as the titular Spanish prince, and soprano Marina Poplavskaya as Elisabeth de Valois, the woman he loves (and who happens to be married to his father).

Writing of this production in the New York Times, critic Anthony Tommasini cited Poplavskaya’s “luminous singing, beautiful pianissimo high notes and unforced power” and called Alagna’s singing “poignant.”

“Don Carlo” clocks in at nearly five hours in length, so make sure to wear something comfortable, and perhaps consider the purchase of a Snickers bar at the concession stand: You’re not going anywhere for a while.

Admission is $18. Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 is located at 680 S.W. Powerhouse Drive in Bend’s Old Mill.

The world on a plate

R ob K er r / The Bulletin

C ustomers enjoy food and drinks at Level 2 Global Food & Lounge, which occupies the second floor of the Fuel Building, above Saxon’s Fine Jewelers, in Bend’s Old Mill District.

Level 2 brings global cuisine to the Old Mill

For The Bulletin

T

he concept of “global cuisine” is, by nature, imprecise. I perceive the term as meaning that a kitchen may prepare whatever ethnic-influenced food it wants.

Global cuisine can be Asian, European or Latin American. It can be Thai, Japanese, Indian, Lebanese, Italian, Brazilian or even American.

With the impending transition of downtown Bend’s Marz Bistro to a menu of American classic cuisine, few restaurants in Central Oregon will be able to call themselves “global.” One of them is Spork, the seasonal mobile

kitchen whose chef, Jeff Hunt, spent several years at Marz. Another serving world cuisine is Level 2 Global Food & Lounge, on the second floor of the Fuel Building, above Saxon’s Fine Jewelers in the Old Mill District.

Level, 2 opened in early September in a space that was originally the Old Mill Martini Bar, but had been vacant since April 2009. A venture of Howie and Ada Long, who own several Chinese and Asian fusion restaurants in Bend and Redmond, Level 2 has as its executive chef Rich Hall, another long-term veteran of the Marz kitchen as well as the Mercury Diner, Mangia Pasta and Astro Lounge.

restaurants From previous page Its Old Mill location has made Level 2 a holiday-season oasis for after-work shoppers, who are able to refuel with an extensive selection of small plates and specialty cocktails.

Nextweek: Taylor’s Sausage Visit www. bendbulletin.com /restaurants for readers’ ratings of more than 150 Central Oregon restaurants.

Small plates Unfortunately, based upon my tasting of eight different plates on two separate visits, I find food preparations inconsistent — sometimes excellent, as in the case of a pork tenderloin entree, but often heavy-handed and lacking subtlety.

As was true at its Martini Bar predecessor, the menu at Level 2 encourages tapas-style dining. It lists 14 small plates, more than the number of medium and large plates combined. A party could easily make a meal out of small plates alone, perhaps adding a single larger dish to share.

The best of the small plates that I sampled was the smoked porkbelly sliders. Two thick slices of tender, fatty pork, cooked in an in-house smoker, were presented on mini hamburger buns baked in Level 2’s own oven. A leaf of butter lettuce, a thick slice of ripe tomato and tangy chipotle mayonnaise made these a melt-in-mymouth treat.

But I wasn’t as excited about the other small plates.

A cheesesteak egg roll — chopped steak and mozzarella with bits of tomato, wrapped in a pastry and deep fried — was greasier than it should have been.

It was topped with a creamy Gorgonzola Mornay sauce, which is essentially a white bechamel sauce with Italian blue cheese added. I found it too bland.

The stuffed calamari was quite hearty. Tubes of small squid were filled with peppery Italian sausage, herbed bread crumbs, pine nuts and parsley, then cloaked in a red Italian marinara sauce and sprinkled with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. It could not be described as a delicately flavored dish.

The ahi tuna poke, one of the more popular items on the Level 2 list, would have been better had its marinade been lighter. Served on wonton chips with a mild wasabi cream sauce, the bites of sushi-quality tuna were tossed in a sticky-sweet soy reduction sauce with chopped macadamia nuts and mangos.

Larger plates Of the entree-sized dishes, my favorite was the pork tenderloin medallions. The tender roasted meat was prepared with bitesize cippolini onions in a sauce of red wine and caramelized

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

A Black Buffalo Manhattan is among the cocktails offered at Level 2 Global Food & Lounge. tomatoes. It was served with delicious mashed sweet potatoes, mango chutney and lightly dressed baby greens. If you’re in doubt about what to order at Level 2, go with the pork.

An Indian-style korma curry was a nice dish. Served on Moroccan couscous (made with green apples and roasted red peppers) rather than basmati rice, it featured tiger prawns cooked with halved cashews in a curry blend of sesame oil, cashews, poblano chilies and heavy cream. The only traditional element was a side cup of raita, a yogurt sauce with minced cucumber.

I liked the steamed mussels, a “medium” plate, even though I thought the red chili-coconut milk broth had too spicy an edge. Raw bean sprouts and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro cut the heat. There was no shortage of shellfish in this dish: I shelled, I think, 18 mussels.

Ada Long makes most of Level 2’s desserts, and her chocolate ganache cheesecake was a big hit with my sweet-toothed dining companion. “It has the perfect balance of sour and sweet,” she commented to me, noting that its light chocolate crust was an ideal complement to the creamy filling.

Drink specials If you’re planning a big night for New Year’s Eve, Level 2 deserves consideration as a place to start. Drinks like the Stimulus (pear vodka, triple sec and fresh lemongrass), Dante’s Juice Box (habanero vodka, mango puree and lime juice) and the Black Buffalo Manhattan (black cherry and Buffalo Trace bourbons with a dash of bitters) may be one of a kind.

The decor is pleasant and perhaps a bit understated. A lengthy bar dominates the long, slender

main room, with a single, large flat-screen TV on the north wall.

Artists’ prints and paintings hang on original brick walls in side rooms that feature a combination of tall and normal-sized tables. One comfortable room has a couch for serious relaxation; an adjoining area is ideal for private group dining.

The restaurant’s third level is not a part of Level 2, as it had been of the Martini Bar. It is available, however, for private events, such as the Rise Up International New Year’s Eve benefit tonight.

General manager Jason Twillman, another former Marz employee, said that addition of that space is not in the immediate plans for Level 2, which he said wants to focus more on food and drink than on entertainment.

“I expect Level 2 to be here for a long time,” Twillman said. “I know that I still want to be here in five years, making this restaurant better and better.”

SMALL BITES Restaurateur Gavin McMichael has announced that he will close the Marz Planetary Bistro in early January and replace it soon thereafter with an art deco-style restaurant serving “American classic cuisine.” The menu, he said, would include blue-plate specials and such dishes as chicken tetrazzini and beef bourguignon; the decor “will celebrate cocktail society” with brass tabletops and red velvet-upholstered booths. At this writing, McMichael — who also owns The Blacksmith and Bourbon Street Sea & Soul Food — had not yet

settled on a name; he was considering Gatsby’s and the Deco Bistro. 163 N.W. Minnesota Ave., Bend; 541-389-2025.

Just as Redmond’s Saigon Village restaurant closed, a Portland couple has announced plans to open a new Vietnamese restaurant in Bend in mid-January. Saigon Village, located in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center in south Redmond, closed earlier this month. The new Pho Viet & Cafe Restaurant will be located in the remodeled former Rico’s Tacos location at 1326 N.E. Third St., Bend; phone 541-382-2929. Owners Tan and Tammy Vo said they will serve lunch and dinner every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Chocolate galore Portland festival returns with sweets and crafts

By Jenny Harada The Bulletin

I

f you did not get your share of chocolate this holiday season, Portland’s World Forestry Center is offering a delectable event to tickle the taste buds.

Featuring ample samples of fudge, brownies, truffles, caramels, cupcakes and sipping chocolate, the sixth annual ChocolateFest will be held Jan. 21-23 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.

Previously located at the World Forestry Center, the festival moved to the more spacious Oregon Convention Center to accommodate the growing number of visitors each year. The 2010 event brought in 8,200 people.

According to its official website, the festival was created in 2006 to “not only expose visitors to wonderful chocolate products, but educate about the tropical cacao tree and how chocolate is made from bean to bar.”

Organizers expect at least 65 vendors to share their wares this year; from the normal sweet confectioneries to the un-

usual including chocolate soap, chocolate-inspired jewelry and edible chocolate paintings.

The festival will also provide a series of demonstrations and presentations including lectures such as “The Chocolate Tree,” “Wine and Chocolate Pairings,” “Chocolate Sculpting” and “Demystifying the Dark Art of Home Tempering.”

The festivities will kick off Jan. 21 with an opening night premier. For ages 21 and older, the event features drink specials, music by Echo Jazz Trio and voting for best of show. Tickets are $20.

The ChocolateFest will run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 22 and Jan. 23. Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors (ages 62 and older) and $7 for children (ages 5 to 12). All proceeds benefit the World Forestry Center.

To order tickets, contact TicketsWest at www.ticketswest.com or 800-992-8499. For more information on the festival, contact www.chocolatefest.org or 503-228-1367.

THE BEST OF

2010

Film critic Roger Ebert names his top 10 movies for the year (plus a few more!)

“The Social Network.” Here is a film about how people relate to their corporate roles and demographic groups rather than to each other as human beings.

That’s the fascination for me; not the rise of social networks but the lives of those who are socially networked. Mark Zuckerberg, who made billions from Facebook and plans to give most of it away, isn’t driven by greed or the lust for power. He’s driven by obsession with an abstract system. He could as well be a chess master like Bobby Fischer.

He finds satisfaction in manipulating systems.

The tension in the film is between Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins, who may well have invented Facebook, for all I know, but are traditional analog humans motivated by pride and possessiveness. If Zuckerberg took their idea and ran with it, it was because he saw it as a logical insight rather than in-

The other top 10 Now for the second 10 best films.

These are alphabetical because ranking films in order is pointless after a certain point. They’re all worthy of your time. For more on the best films, visit Roger Ebert’s blog at www .rogerebert.com.

“The King’s Speech.” Here, in a sense, is a first step in a journey that could lead to the world of “The Social Network.”

Prince Albert (Colin Firth), who as George VI would lead the British Empire into World War II, is seen in an opening scene confronting a loudspeaker as he opens the Empire Games. He is humiliated by a paralyzing stutter.

The film tells the story of how his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), involves him with a rough-hewn Australian speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush), whose unorthodox methods enable him to eventually face a BBC microphone and forcefully inform the world that the empire is declaring war.

All of the personalities and values in “The King’s Speech” are traditional (and the royal values are too traditional, the therapist believes). Tom Hooper’s filmmaking itself is crafted in an older

style, depending on an assembly of actors, costumes, sets and a three-act structure. The characters project considered ideas of themselves; “The Social Network,” in contrast, intimately lays its characters bare. From one man speaking at a distance through the radio, to another man shepherd-

David Fincher’s direction, Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay and the acting by Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake and the others all harmoniously create not only a story but a world view, showing how Zuckerberg is hopeless at personal relationships but instinctively projects himself into a virtual world and brings 500 million others behind him. “The Social Network” clarifies a process that some believe (and others fear) is creating a new mind-set.

Films to fancy Overall, 2010 was not a great movie year, but it has many great movies. Here are some great options in the categories below. Why categories? They provide a way to list more good films. If a “best film” list serves any purpose, it’s to give you ideas.

DOCUMENTARIES

The Associated Press

Leonardo DiCaprio, left, raids the minds of corporate rivals in the visual blockbuster “Inception.”

From previous page While some people may seek to copy the events in “The Social Network,” few, I think, would identify with those characters.

Mark Zuckerberg is as much a technology-created superhero as Iron Man. “Black Swan.” And now we leave technology and even reality behind, and enter a world where the cinema has always found an easy match: fantasy. That movies were dreamlike was understood from the very beginning, and the medium allowed directors to evoke the psychological states of their characters. “Black Swan” uses powerful performances by Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel to represent archetypal attributes: female/male, young/ old, submissive/dominant, perfect/flawed, child/parent, good/ evil, real/mythical.

Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” provides a template for a backstage story that seems familiar enough (young ballerina tries to please her perfectionist mother and demanding director). Gradually we realize a psychological undertow is drawing her away from reality, and the frenzy of the ballet’s climax is mirrored in her own life. This film depends more than many others on the intensity and presence of the actors, and Portman’s ballerina is difficult to imagine coming from another actor.

find her father, who skipped bail.

She sets out on an odyssey. At its end will be Ree’s father, dead or alive. Unless there is a body, her family will be torn apart.

She treks through a landscape scarcely less ruined than the one in Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” Debra Granik, the director and co-author, risks backwoods caricatures and avoids them with performances that are exact and indelible, right down to small supporting roles.

Ree is one of the great women of recent movies.

3.

“I Am Love.” In this film and “Julia” (2008), Tilda Swinton created masterful performances that were largely unseen because of inadequate distribution. Is it an Academy performance if no one sees it? Here she easily clears a technical hurdle

4.

“Inception.” A movie set within the architecture of dreams. The film’s hero (Leonardo DiCaprio) challenges a young architect (Ellen Page) to create such fantasy spaces as part of his raids on the minds of corporate rivals. The movie is all about process, about fighting our way through enveloping sheets of reality and dreams, reality within dreams, dreams without reality. It’s a breathtaking juggling act by writerdirector Christopher Nolan, who spent 10 years devising the labyrinthine script.

Do dreams HAVE an architecture? Well, they require one for the purposes of this brilliantly visualized movie. For some time now, I’ve noticed that every dream I awaken from involves a variation of me urgently trying to return somewhere by taking a half-remembered way through streets and buildings.

Sometimes I know my destination (I get off a ship and catch a train, but am late for a flight and not packed).

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Thrust into the role his brother abdicated, King George VI (Colin Firth) leads his country during World War II in “The King’s Speech.” (she is a British actress speaking Italian with what I understand is a Russian accent), playing Emma, a Russian woman who has married into a large, wealthy and guarded Milanese family.

She isn’t treated unkindly, at least not in obvious ways, but she doesn’t — belong. She is hostess, mother, wife, trophy, but never member. Now her husband and son are taking over the family dynasty, and her life is in flux. When she learns her daughter is a lesbian, she reacts not as an Italian matriarch might, but as the outsider she is, in surprise and curiosity. She has heard of such things.

Now she meets a young chef named Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini), a friend of her son’s.

A current passes between them.

They become lovers. There are many ways for actors to represent sex on the screen, and Swinton rarely copies herself;

here as Emma she is urgent, as if a dam has burst, releasing not passion but happiness. She evokes Emma as a woman who for years has met the needs of her family, and discovers in a few days to meet her own needs.

She must have been waiting a long time for Antonio, whoever he would be.

“Winter’s Bone.” Another film with its foundation on a strong female performance.

Jennifer Lawrence plays Ree, a girl of 17 who acts as the homemaker for her younger brother and sister in the backlands of the Ozarks. Her mother sits useless all day, mentally absent. Her father, who was jailed for cooking meth, is missing. She tries to raise the kids, scraping along on welfare and the kindness of neighbors.

When the family is threatened with homelessness, she must

movies From previous page Sometimes I’m in a vast hotel.

Sometimes crossing the University of Illinois campus, which has greatly changed. In every case, my attempt is to follow an abstract path (turn down here and cut across and come back up) that I could map for you. “Inception” led me to speculate that my mind, at least, generates architectural pathways, and that one reason I responded to “Inception” is that, like all movies, it was a waking dream.

“The Secret in Their Eyes.”

This 2009 film from Argentina won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. But it opened in 2010 in the U.S., and so certainly qualifies. It spans the years between 1974 and 2000 in Buenos Aires, as a woman who is a judge and a man who is a retired criminal investigator meet after 26 years. In 1974 they were associated on a case of rape and murder, and the man still believes the wrong men were convicted of the crime. The whole case is bound up in the right-wing regime of those days, and the “disappearances” of enemies of the state.

Although the criminal story is given full weight, writer-director Juan Jose Campanella is more involved in the romantic charge between his two characters. No, this isn’t a silly movie love story.

These are adults — experienced, nuanced, survivors. Love has very high stakes for them, and therefore greater rewards. Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darin have presence and authority that make their scenes together emotionally meaningful, as beneath the surface old secrets coil.

“The American.” George Clooney plays an enigmatic man whose job is creating specialized weapons for specialized murders. He builds them, delivers them and disappears. Now someone wants him to disappear for good. A standard thriller plot, but this is a far-from-mainstream thriller. Very little is explained.

There is a stark minimalism at work. Much depends on our empathy. The entire drama rests on two words: “Mr. Butterfly.” We must be vigilant to realize that once, and only once, are they spoken by the wrong person — and then the whole plot reality rotates.

Few of my colleagues admired this film by Anton Corbijn very much. Most of them admired it very little. I received demands from readers that I refund their money, and messages agreeing that there was greatness here.

“The American” reminded me of “Le Samourai” (1967) by JeanPierre Melville, which starred another handsome man (Alain

8.

Delon) in the role of an enigmatic murder professional. The film sees dispassionately, guards its secrets, and ends like a clockwork mechanism arriving at its final, clarifying tick.

9.

“The Kids Are All Right.”

There are ways to read that title: Kids in general are all right, these particular kids are all right, and it is all right for lesbians to form a family and raise them.

Each mother bore one of the children, and because the same anonymous sperm donor was used, they’re half-siblings. The mothers and long-time partners are played

by Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, and like many couples, they’re going through a little midlife crisis.

Their children (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) unexpectedly contact their birth father (Mark Ruffalo), and the women are startled to find him back in their lives. It was all supposed to be a one-time pragmatic relationship. Ruffalo plays him as a hippie-ish organic gardener for whom “laid back” is a moral choice. He thinks it’s cool to meet his kids, it’s cool their moms are married, it’s cool they invite him for dinner. I mean … sure, yes, of course … I mean, why not? Sure.

In a comedy with some deeper colors, the film is an affirmation of — family values.

“The Ghost Writer.” In Roman Polanski’s best film in years, a man without a past rattles around in the life of a man with too much of one. A ghost writer (Ewan McGregor) is hired to write the autobiography of a former British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) so inspired by Tony Blair that he might as well be wearing a name tag. He comes to stay at an isolated country house, reminding us of those Agatha Christie mysteries in which everyone is a potential suspect. His wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams), smart and bitter, met him at Cambridge. His assistant, Amelia (Kim Cattrall), smart and devious, is having an affair with him. The writer comes across information that suggests much of what he sees is a lie, and his life may be in danger.

This movie is the work of a man who knows how to direct a thriller. Smooth, calm, confident, it builds suspense instead of depending on shock and action.

The actors create characters who suggest intriguing secrets. The atmosphere — a rain-swept Martha’s Vineyard in winter — has an ominous, gray chill. In an age of dumbed-down thrillers, this one evokes a classic tradition.

ON LOCAL SCREENS Here’s what’s showing on Central Oregon movie screens. For showtimes, see listings on Page 30.

HEADS UP “The Metropolitan Opera: Don Carlo” — Director Nicholas Hytner makes his Metropolitan Opera debut with this new production of Verdi’s most ambitious opera. Roberto Alagna sings the title role, joined by Marina Poplavskaya as Elisabeth de Valois, Anna Smirnova as Princess Eboli, Simon Keenlyside as Rodrigo and Ferruccio Furlanetto as Phillip II. Yannick Nézet-Séguin, back after his triumphant Met debut leading “Carmen,” conducts.

“The Metropolitan Opera: Live in High-Definition” series features 12 opera performances transmitted live in high definition to movie theaters around the world. The encore screening begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 in Bend. Tickets are $18. 300 minutes. (no MPAA rating)

— Synopsis from National CineMedia

WHAT’S NEW No new movies were released this week.

STILL SHOWING “Black Swan” — Natalie Portman in a bravura performance as a driven

perfectionist, a young ballerina up for a starring role at Lincoln Center.

Her life is shadowed by a smothering mother (Barbara Hershey), an autocratic director (Vincent Cassel), a venomous rival (Mila Kunis) and her deposed predecessor (Winona Ryder). A full-bore melodrama, told with passionate intensity, gloriously and darkly absurd. Directed by Darren Aronofsky. Rating: Three and a half stars. 108 minutes. (R) “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” — Edmund, Lucy and their nuisance of a cousin Eustace are drawn into a seafaring painting on the wall and find themselves on board the Dawn Treader and involved in a quest to save Narnia. Their challenge, finding the missing magical swords of the Lords of Telmar, involves a risky sea voyage that finally leads to the ominous Dark Island. The arbitrary plot is just one damn thing after another, but there are thrilling sequences involving a sea monster and a flying dragon, and it’s jolly fun for younger viewers. Rating: Three stars. 115 minutes. (PG) “Fair Game” — Sean Penn and Naomi Watts star as Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame, a couple embroiled in controversy in the early days of the Iraq War. Wilson, sent to Niger to find evidence of uranium sales to Saddam, found none, and said so in a New York Times op-ed bombshell.

Plame was then outed as a CIA agent, apparently by an aide of Dick Cheney. The situation placed great pressure on their marriage, which is largely the focus of the film. The movie may work better the more you walk in agreeing with it. Rating: Three stars. 105 minutes. (PG-13) “The Fighter” — Colorful supporting

performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. The hero comes across as such a victim of lifelong domination that even when he wins, he feels like a loser. Directed

by David O. Russell. Rating: Two and a half stars. 115 minutes. (R) “Gulliver’s Travels” — Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style.

Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput — where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Emily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. Rating: Three stars. 85 minutes. (PG) “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” — Harry, Hermione and Ron have grown up and the horrors they met at Hogwarts are but nostalgic memories. They are cast out now into the vastness of the world, on their own, and Voldemort and his Death Eaters draw ever closer. Also drawing near is an equally unsettling phenomenon, sexual maturity. A handsome and sometimes harrowing film that will be completely unintelligible for anyone coming to the series for the first time. Rating: Three stars. 146 minutes. (PG-13)

movies From previous page “How Do You Know” — Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). A promising mix by writer-director James L. Brooks, who guided Nicholson to Oscars in “Terms of Endearment” and “As Good as It Gets,” but he gives Jack a puzzling heavy role, and strands his good cast in a run-of-the-mill romcom. Rating: Two stars. 116 minutes. (PG-13) “The King’s Speech” — After the death of George V and the abdication of his brother Edward, Prince Albert (Colin Firth) becomes George VI, charged with leading Britain into World War II. He is afflicted with a torturous stammer, and his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) seeks out an unorthodox speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) to treat him. Civilized and fascinating, this is the story of their unlikely relationship. (The R rating, for language, is absurd; this is an ideal film for teenagers.)

Rating: Four stars. 118 minutes. (R) “Little Fockers” — “Little Fockers” is possibly the last and certainly the least among the trio of comedies about the power struggle between a nebbishy male nurse and his menacing, control-freak father-inlaw. It’s a desultory, patchwork affair — competently made, comfortably played, but lacking the heart and wit that characterized, in varying degrees, in “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers.” Rating: One and a half stars. 97 minutes. (PG-13)

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Naomi Watts finds herself embroiled in controversy in “Fair Game.” portrait of a brilliant social misfit who intuited a way to involve humankind in the Kevin Bacon game. Everybody likes Facebook — it’s the site that’s all about YOU. With Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, the Napster founder who introduced Zuckerberg to the Silicon Valley fast lane, Andrew Garfield as the best friend who gets dumped, and Armie Hammer as the Winklevoss twins, who sued Zuckerberg for stealing their idea.

One of the year’s best films. Rating: Four stars. 120 minutes. (PG-13) “Tangled” — Rapunzel, the girl locked in a tower with only her long, golden locks for company, gets a sassy, spirited screen treatment from Disney with “Tangled,” an animated fairytale musical from the Not Pixar corner of the company. Like most of Disney’s in-house cartoons, “Tangled” suffers most when compared to the best of Pixar. Animated musicals are only as good as their songs, and this one isn’t on a par with “Beauty and the Beast” or even “The Princess and the Frog.”

But the laughs make the tunes pass by quickly, the emotional moments pay off and this version of Rapunzel lets down its hair just enough to deserve a place of honor with all the other glorious Disney “princess” tales.

Rating: Three stars. 93 minutes. (PG)

— Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel “The Tourist” — A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Preposterous, of course, but it could have worked as a farce, with witty flirtation and droll Cary Grantian understatement.

Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. Rating: Two stars. 104 minutes. (PG-13)

George Clooney plays a starkly focused assassin in “The American.”

N EW D V D & BLU-RA Y RELEA SES The following movies were released Dec. 28.

“The American” — George Clooney is starkly defined as a criminal as obedient and focused as a samurai.

He manufactures weapons for specialized jobs. He lives and functions alone. He works for a man who might as well be a master. He uses few words. Only his feelings for

H I G H

a prostitute named Clara (Violante Placido) supply an opening to his emotions. Zen in its focus. DVD and Blu-ray Extras: Featurette, deleted scenes and audio commentary.

Rating: Four stars. 105 minutes. (R) ALSO OUT THIS WEEK: “Resident Evil: Afterlife” COMING UP: Movies scheduled for national release Jan. 4 include “Dinner for Schmucks,” “Catfish” and “Machete.” Check with local video stores for availability.

— Roger Ebert, The Chicago SunTimes (“DVD and Blu-ray Extras” from wire and online sources)

D E S E R T

— Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel “Megamind” — Bright and amusing 3-D animation as two aliens (voiced

by Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt) battle for control of Metro City. Tina Fey voices a local TV reporter, David Cross is a piranha-like sidekick for Megamind, and Jonah Hill is a put-upon TV cameraman who finds himself transformed into a third super being. The 3-D isn’t really necessary, but is well-handled.

Rating: Three stars. 95 minutes. (PG) “The Next Three Days” — Russell Crowe stars as an English teacher whose wife (Elizabeth Banks) is charged and convicted for murder.

Despite compelling evidence for her guilt, he believes she couldn’t have done it. As appeals fail, he determines to break her out of jail, and in the process his character must somehow transform into a man capable of taking such action. Not a bad movie if you want a competent thriller. Not the level of achievement we expect from Crowe and writer-director Paul Haggis (“Crash”). Rating: Two and a half stars. 133 minutes. (PG-13) “The Social Network” — The life and times of Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), who created Facebook, became a billionaire in his early 20s, and now has 500 million members on the site he created. A fascinating

movies From previous page “Tron: Legacy” — Twenty years after he leaves his son at bedtime and steps out for a spin on his motorcycle, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) summons him mysteriously to a portal into the software program he invented — and now inhabits. Young Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) is needed to help his dad and the beautiful Quorra (Olivia Wilde) to ward off an evil cabal that wants to conquer the Internet and/or the world. The plot is impenetrable, but Jeff Bridges is solid in three roles (younger, older and digital), and the visuals are a sensational sound-and-light show, cutting-edge in the tradition of the 1982 film. Rating: Three stars. 125 minutes. (PG-13) “True Grit” — An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen.

Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. Not a “Coen brothers film,” but a flawlessly executed Western in the grand tradition. Strong support from Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper. Rating: Three and a half stars. 110 minutes. (PG-13) “Unstoppable” — A runaway train hurtles at 70 mph, and the movie is as relentless as the train. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine try to stop it, and Rosario Dawson is the hard-driving dispatcher. In terms of sheer craftsmanship, this is a superb film. Directed by Tony Scott. Rating: Three and a half stars. 98 minutes. (PG-13) “Yogi Bear” — Yogi always was “smarter than the average bear.”

But parents and grandparents dragging tykes along to the 3-D big screen “Yogi Bear” will probably remember him as funnier than the average bear, too. Or funnier than this. A computeranimated Yogi (voiced by Dan Aykroyd) and Boo Boo (voiced

by Justin Timberlake) inhabit a real-world Jellystone Park, with the unfunny Tom Cavanagh as Ranger Smith and nothingfunny-to-play Anna Faris as the ranger’s love interest. Rating: One star. 75 minutes. (PG)
